June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

Note:

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able on your own; then join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. Win the argument with your reasoning.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

    I recently did AP3 RRE1 Exc1 PF1 and didn't get question 10 correct. I chose A because it mentioned synthetic products ... which does not mean that they are natural. However, this choice was incorrect. Can anyone explain how they got the right answer?

    Hi everyone,

    Now this was a weird parallel flaw question because I feel like there are so many different answer explanations for the answer choices on this question all over the web, and I am not sure which ones are the most reliable. Thus, I felt maybe listing what I thought here would help clarify stuff, and I want to know what people here think (is my reasoning here look correct or not correct?)

    What I thought was the flaw: transferring a non-transferrable trait from X to a reproduction of X

    A-- right because it matches the flaw (crossed out A during the actual timed test because the trait isn't the same in wording like we see in the stimulus)

    B-- wrong because this is a conditional relationship, not an argument

    C-- wrong because this is a conditional relationship, not an argument

    D-- wrong because we want to see some trait transfer from Jo to Layne, and we don't see that

    E-- wrong because being similar is not the same as imitating/reproducing (chose E during my PT because I didn't realize this)

    Any feedback would be very much appreciated!

    thanks!

    Hello everyone, just wanted to see if there are people in the Sarasota area that would want to connect and study together. I take the April LSAT but depending on how well it goes, I might have to take it again in June. I'm a little too inconsistent on my practice exams and would like to work with different people and learn how they approach different questions. Also, I am currently in Gainesville for school but will be back in Sarasota in like 2-3 weeks.

    Hello, I am studying logic games not for taking the exam but for a programming course and so don't need the full course, but would like to view the sequencing games lessons and how to read the diagrams. Are there any free youtube tutorials on this that you recommend? Thanks!

    Does anyone know of any admissions group chats? I know LSD has chatrooms but I was thinking more along the lines of group chats or discords for people applying fall '24. I don't know many pre-law people, just attorneys from work, as I am in the workforce and am first-gen. If anyone wants an accountability partner for the admissions process please hmu! I've got a 164 and am going to be applying to several schools around t50, mostly in the midwest. Thanks!

    180watch

    Hi everyone I'm looking for the 180watch or any other similar watch that has a button that resets it. Message me if anyone is selling or knows of a similar watch I could buy. Thank you all!

    Hi all! Looking to do an essay editing exchange. Primarily personal statements but I'd also be willing to exchange other essays or resumes as well. Comment or inbox me if interested! Thanks and good luck to everyone!

    This question doesn't have an explanation, so I wanted to see if anyone could back up my reasoning.

    The flaw of the question stem is that it confuses necessary conditions for sufficient ones. Correctly formatting the script as well as having it be submitted by an agent is necessary for the script to not be discarded, but it does not guarantee that it won't be. There could be another reason, such as that it arrived too late, that it would be discarded.

    A is not the correct choice because it is a valid argument.

    B is not correct because it's a different flaw. It takes for granted that Jon is a good cook. You can also argue that it's flawed in that the necessary condition "delicious" is subjective.

    C is correct, although its a bit tricky. It confuses sufficient conditions for necessary ones. Exercising daily or quitting smoking will improve Bob's health, but he doesn't need to do either one to improve his fitness level. He could lose weight by dieting for example. I think this is what makes this question so difficult (5 circles).

    D is incorrect because it's a different flaw. It confuses the sufficient conditions for one argument with another. A car not having a permit or having an expired one are sufficient conditions for police being allowed to ticket. The Police being allowed to ticket does not mean they will ticket; They could give you a warning or maybe do nothing.

    E is incorrect because its a different flaw. It takes for granted that because a dog can do advanced tricks it will respond correctly to basic commands. It's possible that a dog could do a backflip but would refuse to sit.

    let me know if my reasoning is accurate - thanks!

    Hi,

    can someone explain why certain lessons are marked on 7sage as optional? I just started the core curriculum. I saw that the first 'optional' one was a cute story/ anecdote and skipping would be fine as it had no bearing on understanding content, but now I'm at the second optional lesson entitled ' For, since, because' and IM confused why it says optional. Does it cover it alter? is it not necessary for LSAT? I'm going to listen to it, but its throwing me off and if someone can please explain why its marked that way it would help.

    Thanks!

    Hi Everyone!

    Head’s up: later this month, LSAC is doing a system-wide upgrade that will affect some of their online services. It will begin at 5 p.m. ET on Friday, December 22, and is expected to end at around 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 23. During these 24 hours, certain LSAC services, including candidates’ online accounts on LSAC.org and LawReady, will be offline.

    During this time, people will be unable to complete transactions such as registering for a future LSAT, submitting fee waivers or accommodation requests, accessing their accounts, or submitting applications.

    Services on LawHub.org will remain available during the upgrade window. Scheduling for the January 2024 LSAT will continue through Prometric. However, information on candidate accounts will not be updated until the upgrade is completed.

    If you have any further questions, you can contact LSAC via https://lsac.zendesk.com/, email them at lsacinfo@lsac.org, or call them at 215.968.1001.

    Hey everyone, I couldn't find info about this online, so I figured I'd ask on here. I went to an undergraduate institution for a semester and ended up withdrawing from all of my classes (pretty sure it was non-punitive). Would I be required to include this transcript on my Lsac gpa? I was wondering because I did not end up earning any credits there. Thanks in advance!

    Hi everyone! I just switched to 7sage. I am wondering what the difference is with V2. Should I switch to it?

    I am also wondering how Practice Tests are scored now that Logical Games are not tested. Is that section still graded in the practice tests on here?

    Can someone please nudge me in the right direction with my personal statement? Mine centers around an event that had a significant impact on me in college. I included elements to give the reader a sense of who I am and how I think, but only one or two paragraphs directly address why I want to pursue law school. If you need more details feel free to message me! Thank you for any advice or feedback. :)

    Proctors: 3 proctors each time

    Facilities: There are multiple classrooms that one can get placed in. I was placed in a

    What kind of room: The first time I took the test here in June 2014, the classroom was adjacent to a busy intersection, and there was construction nearby. The second time, in February 2015, I was placed in a large auditorium style classroom tucked away from the busy intersection.

    How many in the room: approximately 30 (each time)

    Desks: approximately 50 (each time)

    Left-handed accommodation: Yes

    Noise levels: First test: occasional noises (e.g. sirens, construction, honking); Second test: minimal

    Parking: There is pay-to-park nearby, though it might be easier to take a taxi or public transportation

    Time elapsed from arrival to test: 4 hours

    Irregularities or mishaps: First test: a little distracting because of the noice; Second test: everything went smoothly

    Other comments: As long as you are placed in a good classroom, everything should be fine for this test location

    Would you take the test here again? Yes

    Date[s] of Exam[s]: June 2014, and February 2015

    So around July I will be done with the CC, and I plan on testing in October. I also know that I may not finish every PT that is available right now, but which PT would you recommend me to start from? should I start with the older PT's or just the newer ones (141-158)?

    Thank you in advance!

    Proctors: I found the proctors to be very professional. They made the instructions clear and they were quiet during testing time. They all seemed to be calm, and that helped me to feel calm as well.

    Facilities: the facilities were great. I wrote in a newer building (CCIS building). The room I was in was close to many bathrooms, which were very clearly marked.

    What kind of room: I was in a big theatre-style lecture hall. It had good lighting and was very spacious.

    How many in the room: approximately 100 people.

    Desks: the room had 3 sections of long tables on the left, right and middle of the room with many rows. I lucked out and had nobody down my entire table and I was front row in the middle section. Even with people sharing rows of tables, there was plenty of room.

    Left-handed accommodation: the long tables would not be an issue for right- or left-handed people.

    Noise levels: low. Proctors and test writers were very quiet.

    Parking: there are two large parking lots on either side of this building with relatively inexpensive hourly rates.

    Time elapsed from arrival to test: my test started on time. Proctors were fast when checking people in and reading instructions.

    Irregularities or mishaps: none

    Other comments: n/a

    Would you take the test here again? yes! I had no test center hiccups, which helped with my nerves.
