I generally do worse on RC than on LR. The last practice test i was -3 for both LR sections individually and -6 for RC. I juse took a practice test and got -1 and -3 on LR and -11 on RC. I am hoping that this is the bump before it clicks but this is extremely demotivating considering I spend the majority of my study time between tests drilling RC. Any advice or drills are appreciated. I know a problem I have is RC is more fluid and can vary more in the rigidity of the question stimulus relationship, and I cannot deal with that and overthink every answer like crazy. I feel like I can get to -3 or -4 consistently on RC. Timing is not a huge issue but is something I am not the greatest at.

Hello 7 sagers!

My name is Jason. I am looking for LSAT study buddy; I've been studied LSAT more than 8 months(but not consecutively). I ran through other LSAT company's books but improved very few points. (Thank god I found 7sage!!)

I'm prepared for Jun-2015, but I also consider Oct-2015 as well.

Full-disclosure: English is not my native language(which is Mandarin), and I have never been to the U.S.

I live in Taipei, Taiwan (GMT+8).

Anyone who wanna discuss LSAT (via skype) or mentally support each other is welcome.

Or if you live in Taiwan and are fighting for the LSAT, we can fight together.

P.S. If you are likely to be distracted in the U.S. while you study, I suggest you come to Taiwan for some advantages:

1. LSAT June-2015 in Taiwan(Asia-Pacific) is at the end of June, you get two more weeks to prepared.

2. You may not be bothered(or tempted) by your friends and therefore you can focus on your study.

3. Living cost in Taiwan is relatively low, and Taiwan is visa-waived for U.S. citizens.

(3 months for Taiwanese to the U.S., I guess it's same for U.S. citizens.)

Warning: Taiwan is a great place and you may be tempted by food, people and everything you want to explore. In that case, it may cost you an arm and a leg, and then you won't have time studying the LSAT.

Look forward to my LSAT partner, just PM me.

All that and more is covered in this roundtable!

Hi guys,

I am planning on taking the LSAT in Sept and was wondering if anyone knows what the Marymount University in Alrington, VA testing center is like? I want to go there to do some practice tests but I'm not sure which rooms they used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

BR Groups for LSAT in February are so fetch!! Thank goodness we all found 7Sage instead of... Kaplan!

Note:

Has anyone heard back from the group interviews? I got a thank you from the Dean but thats all so far.

I’m currently studying inference and must-be-true questions, but I’m encountering a problem that’s making me spend more time on questions than I should. I’m getting the questions right most of the time, but I feel like I confuse myself when I try to diagram the internal lawgic of the stimulus. Has anyone else encountered this issue while studying?

Hi! I am looking for a tutor!

A bit of background: I have been studying for the LSAT since 2022, while I was still in undergrad. From 2022-2025, I was studying for the LSAT, while finishing my undergrad degree, internships, and working a full-time job. As you can tell, I was juggling a lot at once. From my studying, I was able to score at one point a 160, but never had that or a resembles of that score on an official LSAT test. I have taken the LSAT 3 times already and now taking a gap year.

I am familiar with the LSAT concepts, have had previous tutoring experience, but looking to strengthening the concepts while not paying an arm and a leg for the price of tutoring.

What I believe the type of tutoring that will help me reach my desired LSAT goal is a resembles of a classroom instruction, where we can go over a concept that I am struggling with, break it down, and I can be assigned weekly homework to strengthen said concept. From previous tutoring experience, I do not excel with only doing randomized LR/RC questions, get some right, get some wrong but with no explanation. I am looking for in-depth explanations and corrections.

If this is the type of structure you offer, I would love to connect!

I'm having so much trouble identifying necessary and sufficient flaw types in weaken and strengthen questions. I have watched lectures, attempted to go over my notes, and even tried flash cards. If you also had trouble with this, please give me some tips on what worked for you!

I am pursuing a dual degree at one of the law schools I applied for (JD/MES). The school recently contacted me and said I did not meet their minimum academic requirements because I received a major in Anthropology rather than an Honours Specialization in Anthropology. I have been asked to write a rationale form to apply as a non-standard applicant with the following:

-Why I do not meet the minimum admission requirements

-How my professional/personal and academic experience have prepared me to be successful in the program 

I have a pretty direct and logical reason for not receiving an Hons. Spec.: I was 1 credit away from an Honours but the only 4000 level course my school offered in my program was for students intending to pursue a masters degree in Anthropology and I did not want to do that, and decided to pursue electives that would better assist my admittance to a dual JD/MES (i.e. environmental law courses). Similarly, I know what to say re: how my academic experience has prepared me to be successful in the program.

However, I have no idea what to write for 'personal experience.' I don't really understand how personal experiences could make up for the fact that I was 1 credit away from an Honours Specialization and decided against it. The only thing I can think of is that I was the president of a lot of committees and councils in my undergrad while maintaining a 3.7 CPGA, and thus believe I am well prepared for the workload a graduate degree would provide.

Otherwise, I don't really know what else to say and I'm worried the rationale form will come up short.

I spoke to a guy involved at in the MES program not too long ago, and he said admittance to the graduate program might help in getting into the law school itself (i.e. the dual degree is really unique and would look good to the law school as a fringe applicant). I want to make sure the rationale is really good in case that is true -- anything to help my admittance to law. Has anyone had any experience writing a rationale form? What do you think they are they looking for when asking about how "personal experiences" have prepared a student to be successful in a graduate program?

I take the LSAT on paper instead of on a computer. I would like to be able to print sections and PT's from 7Sage so I am practicing the same format as the real test. How can I print from the new 7Sage?

Hi! I just restarted my LSAT studying and law school options research. I've been preparing with a coworker, but we have a different timeline (she's taking October 2025, I'll be taking mid-2026).

I am wondering if there's already a formed group around the City, or someone is interested. I am in the Upper East Side area and work in Tribeca. I've been religiously studying before work, 6-8AM-ish, with more flexibility on the weekends.

I find it very nice to exchange parsing techniques with my colleague, and I'm a lover of community! if you're interested, please reach out: gertabarentos@gmail.com

I am consistently scoring in the low 160s (160-163) and scoring in the mid 160s to low 170s (166-172) after BR. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to get out of a plateau. On BR, I immediately notice many careless mistakes, either due to misreading the questions or stimulus or time constraint, but I always seem to make comparable careless mistakes on the next PT I take. Does anyone else struggle with this issue? I am taking the October test and I have only completed PT 36-46 and June '07. I also have every single PT, including 1-35 and PT A,B and C. Would it be helpful for me to take every single one of them as a PT, or should I save some of them for drilling? I want to maximize my potential on the LSAT and I'm willing to take and thoroughly BR as many PTs as necessary.

Having trouble identifying how assumptions play a role in LR stim's. I keep hearing 'inferences' and 'assumptions', pseudo-sufficient, sufficient, necessary in the content, but I am having trouble distinguishing the authors' vs my own assumptions (reasonably) to ID the correct answer choice. How do you go about ID'ing those inferences and/or assumptions to evaluate an argument's strength?? Any clarity is major appreciated!!!

Hey all, Congrats to those that finally conquered the LSAT this past Saturday. As an Lsatter that plans to take the exam in June Reading Comp quickly went from my strongest section to my weakest since I began my prep and I was wondering if there were any books that anyone on here recommends for Reading Comp. I have the Powerscore trilogy but the RC book is not as acclaimed. I plan on watching @nicole.hopkins webinar for reading comp for any tips I may find. For people that ultimately did well on RC, was there a source you used for help or was it one of those things that came after practice?(I've also read The Trainer, LG Bible and I am half way through the LR Bible while drilling after each chapter and reviewing afterwards atm btw).

Hey Feb Peeps! We got work to do!

Because of the special webinars this week, we’re moving our Wednesday session to Tuesday.

This episode is all about getting intentional with your LSAT prep. We talk about how to stop spinning your wheels, set realistic goals, and create a study plan built on small, repeatable wins. We also go over concrete examples of how to apply this approach to tricky areas like conditional logic and reading comprehension. Whether you’re weeks in or just getting started, we’ve got tips to help you study with purpose and get results.

Does anyone have any LSAC forum experiences to share? did anyone get any positive or negative experiences out of it?

& the subsequent drinks social hour at the bar with fellow 7sage LSAT members?

I really appreciate the open bar since I am unsure if I can afford drinks in nyc ($21 for a drink? that is a week+half groceries). The drink the bartender gave me was bitter and made me want to throw up a bit but drank it down like medicine. After wards walking to Times Square I saw the lights and people while some people were imitating me as if I was wobbling (even though I was sure I was not).

I plan to add my experience below within a day or two:

I am new to 7sage, day 3, and have a few questions. I have subscribed to the live plan and wanted to know is there a way to access the chat of a recorded session? I attended the how to prep for the LSAT session over the weekend, is there anyway to access the links that were shared in that chat? Also, for the Study roadmap, the suggestions while completing the core curriculum, are to do the flashcards. Are those a set of flashcards that we make or is there a link for them?

Febbers! We’re less than 6 weeks away! Come to Group BR tonight!

BR GROUP NOTES:

lsat9.s2.question-16.misc

Hi, I'm working through the drills for Psets 1-9 and since there aren't videos I thinks it's a win-win for me to type up the solutions to the ones I get wrong. Would appreciate if fellow 7Sager's could ground or critique my logic.

Type: MBF

Conclusion: cannot have something legally permissible and immoral (note: they used 'inconceivable'... I'm taking a leap by making converting that to cannot. Is this ok ?)

Lawgic:

cannot group four, negate immoral and we get

Legally Permissible -> Moral

Morally wrong -> Legally impermissible

(A) Says the law does not cover all circumstances of moral wrongs. But from stimulus, if something is morally wrong then it is necessarily legally impermissible, which means that it is covered by the law. Correct MBF answer choice

(B) never group four, negate legally impermissible: Morally excusable -> legally permissible....this is saying that legally permissible acts are morally good, tricky language using the negations and word 'excusable' makes it a good trap answer choice. but definitely could be true

(C) Could be true. stimulus says nothing about gov officals

(D) Could be true. unrelated

(E) Could be true. Moral permisability has nothing to do with burdens on the economy
