Hi there,

Is every RC passage from PTs 1-35 used in the curriculum's problem sets? I am trying to get every bit of RC practice I can, and would love to know if anyone knows of certain passages in particular that weren't pulled for the curriculum. I've done the problem sets twice over and am looking for unused material (I've also already done every RC passage since 35 already).

Do the number of problem sets we're given for different types of LR questions reflect the frequency in which we will see them on actual LSAT tests? For example, we are given 24 Flaw/Descriptive Weakening sets, but only 3 AP sets. Does that mean that on actual LSAT tests that there are likely to be more Flaw questions?

I am planning on graduating spring 2021. When I fill out the "Bachelor's Degree-Granting Institution" portion on the CAS, do I fill it out with the current/anticipated GPA and major, even though I haven't technically graduated and have 2 more semesters?

Thanks!

Is there anyone in the area of Clemson/Greenville currently studying for the September LSAT who would want to form a study group? I was thinking we could pick a few PTs to take individually and then BR together, but am definitely willing to study in whichever way the group thinks is best!

So I wanted to know if anyone has applied through a website based application like Wash U's before. I was recently invited to interview when I apply. I am interested in Wash U's program and responded that I would like to interview but I am still waiting on my CAS fee waiver to come through. They sent me the link to their website based application and asked me to apply there. I am currently still working on my PS and DS as well as waiting on LoR's. I am a super-splitter so they, along with my resume and grad school records will be very important. The website based application however does not ask for any essays except a Why Wash U essay. Has anyone used their site based app before? Do they later e-mail you and ask for the additional materials? My inclination would be that they would expect me to send them on pretty quickly and rather than allowing me to make a good impression in the interview while I prepare the rest of the materials they might A: want to know where those materials were and why they were not ready yet or B: go ahead and process the application without them. Both of those would not be ideal for my situation.

Does anyone have experience with this want to chime in? When did they ask for the additional materials? Was there a timeline to complete the application? I am inclined to email them directly but I need to be very careful not to sound either unprepared in the email or like I am putting them off for later because I am not actually that interested.

I'm looking for someone on the west coast who would like someone else to study with. I'm imagining doing some drills via Zoom about twice a week. My practice score range is mid 150s to low 160s. DM if you're interested!

Depending on your institution, dean’s list may or may not be conveyed in your transcript. Any semester you received dean’s list translates to “Academic Honors” being notated on your Academic Report Summary in CAS. If your transcript doesn’t reflect dean’s list designation, you can have your undergrad’s registrar send a sealed, official letter to LSAC stating when you received dean’s list and your academic report summary will be updated. LSAC actually was going to toss my letter until I called them about it but now it’s in my report summary, FYI. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s nice to have it reflected on that “cover sheet” and not a bad idea to do every little thing you can to help your application.

On a few of my blind reviewed sections, I have actually performed worse than my timed sections. Most of my errors are due to a lack of confidence, overthinking, or a lack of true understanding of the reasoning.

Does anyone have any thoughts/advice on the following in terms of BR?

  • Line of reasoning errors
  • Confidence errors
  • General thoughts on how to best approach BR, aside from the awesome advice provided by the 7sage videos
  • I've been experiencing a lot of technical issues with the question bank. Regardless of how many questions I choose, only half will actually load. It's also not possible for me to choose multiple question types in LR.I tried google chrome, firefox, and safari.

    Is anyone else having issues as well?

    Hey 7Sage,

    12 days until the Sept exam, WOOT! I am seeking advice on what PTs to do in the next two weeks. I have already done nearly

    all the exams. My only completely untouched exams are old exams -- 39 and 44. Maybe also 10 and 13. Thus, I don't think I should focus on those in the next two weeks, although they are new to me. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I think I want to look at the newest PTs again, since they're nuanced compared to older tests. I have done 70-72 and 75-80 once each. I figure I will do 3 more before the 16th. Should I do 78-80? Does it matter? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I am looking for someone who would like to study together who lives in Los Angeles. Maybe once a week? I am prepping for the December 2nd test. It will be my first time. My diagnostic June 2007 score was 162, however, I feel like that was partly luck, as I guessed on quite a few questions. I would say my areas of strength are well rounded but speed is my greatest weakness. I think explaining what you know to someone is the best way to improve. I am going with the 3 month 7sage package after I finish the free trial. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks!

    Is it recommended to do the: 1) Introduction to Logic (8.2h), and 2) Advanced Logic (2.1h) sections of the Syllabus BEFORE jumping into the Intro to Logic Games & Sequencing and the rest of the LG topics?

    I signed up for 7sage's LSAT starter with the intent of studying Logic Games (LG). I'm primarily using the LSAT Trainer's program and have found it tremendously helpful for the RC and LR sections. I want to ensure that I remain efficient and effective in how I train, all while simultaneously seeking ways to be multiplicative in the different LSAT topics I study. (I hope I am making sense)

    **(Disclaimer: I started studying for the LSAT on June 6th, 2018 with the LSAT Trainer and completed the first 18 Lessons. I had some life challenges that took me away from studying. I resumed LSAT preparation with the LSAT Trainer on October 6th, 2018 but decided to start from Lesson 1. I'm about a quarter of the way through the entire book.

    I've taken off the next five weeks from work to train up for the Nov LSAT to give myself the most time.

    I look forward to the perspectives on this forum.

    Hi!

    I'm in Anchorage and looking for motivated people to study/discuss LSAT stuff. I'm taking the November 2018 test.

    Please let me know if you're interested! If you're in Fairbanks or Southeast or somewhere else, let's make it a Skype thing so we can include people from all over the state :)

    Thanks,

    Kirsten

    Hello 7sagers

    I have recently finished the CC and also took another diagnostic. Turns out I need more practice on LR sections and LG. With LG I am trying to fool proof some test. But for LR How do you reccomend practicing at this point? Should I just pull LR sections starting from the first PT?

    Also, some have reccomended starting in the 50's practice tests as the other tests are older and different - any thoughts on that?

    Thanks a lot.
