If all goes well and I'm admitted into law school, I will have been living in my state for 11 months when law school begins. You have to live in a state for one year before you can be considered a permanent resident. There's an option to write a non-resident addendum to qualify for in-state tuition, but I'm not sure what to say/how to begin the addendum. Any suggestions?

Hello all,
I have been prepping for the January exam since this past summer. I have the PowerScore bibles and the Starter 7Sage curriculum. I spend a lot a time grappling with this material. But for some reason I am just not fully grasping the logical reasoning concept. For some reason, I end up with two answers (one being right and the other being wrong and I always fall for the wrong answer or the one that has absolutely nothing to do with the argument) Weaken, Strengthen, and Necessary Assumptions specifically are my extreme problem areas. I know that Logical Reasoning is a huge component of this test and also a catalyst to success with Logical Games. What are some strategies you all have used to help strengthen your logical reasoning understanding? My goal is to break into the mid or high 150's (those are the scores I need to apply to my top schools and applying next cycle is not an option for me). Please give me strategies to make this a reality.
Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience- I just logged into my LSAC account to sign up for the April test, and my web browser informed me that there had been a data leak and I should change my password. However, when I tried to use the reset password feature, neither my email nor my username were recognized by the system, even though I am able to log in. What’s going on? I’m nervous to give personal info if it might be stolen.

So, what's the deal w/ effective laws? How would you approach this one, in terms of a thinking through it strategy? I chose B originally, though I understood that this was not the contrapositive of the statements in the stimulus. I'm not quite getting how the international police force is a necessary condition for int law to be effective. This may be the result of mental fatigue, so please don't judge me here (:
Anyone in the San Jose/Milpitas/Cupertino/Mtn View/Sunnyvale/Palo Alto area who is down to study together?
Dear 7 sage community,
I am a last semester senior graduating at the end of this semester. Currently I am going to purchase the CAS but if I send in my transcripts now they will be devoid of my last semester of grades which will bring up my UGPA a bit. Do I wait until the end of the semester or does LSAC update these stats?
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?
Politics aside, this is a fun read to warm up for logical flaw description questions. "A CONSERVATIVE GUIDE TO RHETORIC" http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/shouts/2013/10/conservative-guide-to-rhetoric-republican-quotations.html
Hi, All!
I just checked my law school application status and one of them says "Application Pending Final Review." What does this mean? I think I know what it means... my application is going through a final review... is this a good thing or a bad thing? I submitted my application late October and decisions aren't supposed to come out until February.
Now that I think about it, I feel like I'm just overreacting and overthinking haha. Anyway, please shed some light. It's my second application cycle and all I've ever gotten before were waitlist and denied.
Thank you all and Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m not sure if this has already been asked, but I was wondering how to gauge where I stand now that Logic Games are no longer required. Since all previous PTs include a Logic Games section, how should I take a PT and grade myself accurately?
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).
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!!!
Am still studying for the December re-sit and plodding through the materials. But I want to drop in a quick line to say Thank You JY and team!! you guys are brilliant!! I wish I had bought the paid course for my June LSAT prep. Unfortunately, I had connectivity issues at my apartment and chose against buying a course purely for that reason which I sincerely regret now coz it feels like a lot of wasted effort. The powerscore bibles were my companions and were a great introduction but nowhere close to how good the 7sage curriculum is!!! not even close!!
loving the curriculum, loving the presentation, enthused by the rigour of the content and the connected community....loving it all as a whole.....feel way more confident now....i used to take the PT's and have this horrible feeling of never knowing for sure how I did....was never very sure of myself....
simple concepts like validity were left vague in the powerscore bibles leaving one craving for clarity.....
miles to go before i sleep.....but can't help feeling confident from within and more sure footed....perhaps ignorance is bliss and maybe it's because I still have a lot of material to cover....
investment in the course feels worth every penny....
love u guys and a BIG THANK U!!
My study scheduler does not take into account the lessons i have already learned or the prep tests i have already taken. Is there a way to create a study schedule that does take into account these things?
Is there any chance the lg could’ve been the experimental?

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
Glad I saw this game with the outlier game types cropping up on current tests! Went in with way to cookie cutter of a diagram on the front end. Incredibly thankful for being able to adapt even tho it wasn't as quick as I would have preferred.
(kind of reminded me of assumptions I made on the multi-tiered car dealership game)
I am admitted to a law school with a scholarship. The tuition deposit is due 4/15/2020. I am considering to retake the LSAT again for a better score for a more scholarship consideration. The earliest I can re-take is the March Exam (3/30/2020) but the score will not be released until after the tuition deposit deadline. If I get a better score after making the tuition deposit, will the school still consider giving more scholarship?
