I like taking timed individual sections (as opposed to a full PT) and BRing/Reviewing them right after. As of now, the digital tester does not allow you to grade individual sections. So for now I'm going to be doing it the old fashioned way (on paper).

My question is as follows: Should I use a bubbling sheet when taking these timed sections? Is doing it without it going to inflate my score? I was thinking that ditching the scantron is closer to what the digital LSAT is like where that is not necessary.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

I am very confused with a specific relationship between universal quantifiers and existential quantifiers. This confusion becomes annoying in Assumption Questions. Please help! So, basically this is it:

1. "A-->C + A -->B"

2. "A-->C + A -most->B"

3. "A-->C + A some B"

For each of three given premises, we can conclude the same "B some C" relationship. Though the first part is the same "A-->C", the second part is different. I thought that this difference is understandable, because "A-->B" implies "A-most->B" and "A some B". So, we should have the same conclusion for "B some C". But the problem often arises.

For example, PT 24, LR2, Section 3, Question 19. Sufficient Assumption.

"Every student who walks to school goes home for lunch. It follows that some students who have part-time jobs do not walk to school."

The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

Premise: Walks to schools-->Goes home for lunch.

Conclusion: Part-time jobs (some) Do not walk to school.

Take the contrapositive of the premise, we have "Do not go home for Lunch--> Do not walk to School"

Now, it becomes clear that he Sufficient Assumption to bridge the gap could be:

1. "Do not go home for lunch (some) Part-time jobs". This is the correct answer choice (d).

(d). Some students who do not go home for lunch have part-time jobs.

2. Do not go home for lunch -most-> Part-time jobs.

3. Do not go home for lunch --> Part-time jobs. (conditional)

If we take the contrapositive of 3, we have "No part-time jobs-->Go home for lunch". The contrapostive is logically equivalent to the original. Now, "No part-time jobs-->Go home for lunch" implies

"No part-time jobs -most-> Go home for lunch." and also implies

"No part-time jobs (some) go home for lunch." (This is exactly what the wrong answer choice A says.)

(a). some students who do not have part-time jobs go home for lunch.

Please help me clear this confusion. Is there anything I misunderstood? I really appreciate your help.

I am absolutely freaking out. I just applied to my top four schools, and I selected "No" to all of the Character & Fitness questions for each school. At my college, you received an "Academic Warning" whenever you failed a mid-term since your average in the course was now below passing. I received a couple of these warnings my freshman year, but I did well on the remaining assessments and passed the courses. Hence, I forgot all about these warnings and failed to check the appropriate box on the law school applications/provide the appropriate addenda. Has anyone seen this situation before? Would there be anyway for me to amend this mistake while my applications are still pending?

Thank you all so much!!!!!

When I went to do my digital writing sample I had my phone in my backpack, and I forgot to turn it off. I got a text during the writing sample, so the reviewers could probably hear the notification. I just kept going on the test and didn't reach into my bag or anything. I haven't heard back to see if it was accepted or not. This is probably a new issue with the separation of the writing portion from the actual test day, but is it necessary to write an addendum or anything if you get a rules violation, or will LSAC just send whichever writing sample was accepted?

Has anyone taken the May LSAT-Flex on a Surface Go tablet/ laptop. I just want to see how your experience was. I am a bit anxious as when I test my camera on the proctor U site, the camera freezes a bit. I want to know if this is normal or if I should think of using a different laptop.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hello!

My name is Christo and I am wondering if there is anyone that would be willing to provide any tips on the Digital LSAT. I will be taking the test in November and am concerned about logistics for the testing day. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

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.

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?

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!

Is there any chance the lg could’ve been the experimental?

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?

Scoring in early-mid 150s, BR early 160s. Looking for study buddies and aiming to take March/April LSAT. I am able to meet online. Message if interested! Thanks.

I listened to JY's BR call on this question ( https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/21699 ).

I don't get why he was so dismissive of answer choice C -- I would say it weakens the argument. An alternative explanation as to why the artist's face showed up in the painting (other than him painting it himself) serves to weaken the argument that painter of the painting has been determined. And that's what C provides -- his face may be there because the actual painter used him as a live model. I mean, he's an artist, completely reasonable that he would be in the milieu of artists in the area, and was asked by a friend to pose as a live model.

I agree that D more strongly weakens, but disagree with (what seemed to be) JY's position that C doesn't weaken at all.

Hi,

I work full time and I am preparing for the June exam. I would like to start a PT review/general online study group for people who work full time (review will be online (google hangout) and on weekends). Most of the PTs would be done on weekends with review on weekends/during the week. Please email me @ nmillmich25@gmail.com if you are interested.

I have written three addendums now for different things - the first is for my low undergraduate GPA, the second is for my unemployment gaps in my resume, and the third is for my 13 point fluctuation in LSAT scores. Each one is around two paragraphs long. I am feeling like my application will be overwhelming now to admissions with my multiple addendums, diversity statement, "Why school X?" essay, and personal statement. Does this seem like too much? Any input would be helpful! Thanks.

Currently a VA resident, so I will get in state tuition from both schools. I am basically a median applicant for both LSAT and GPA for both. GMU gave me some scholarship $ (not much, ~30% of total tuition), and W&M gave me no scholarship offers.

That being said, I visited both and liked W&M more. GMU is currently ranked 41st, and WM is 37th. Is it worth is to push them for some $ to make the decision easier since they are similarly ranked? The worst thing they can say is no right?

Its basically down to these two schools unless a magical fairy decides to grant me admission to Boston College, which is the only app I am still waiting on. Getting some $ from WM would make the decision easy :|

Does anyone know where to find more recent tablet stimulated lsats ? I’ve gone through all of 7Sage’s and want more recent test if possible! Thanks in advance

Hi all, I am currently doing online BR with other sagers. Some of them leave after the test in this October so we want to recruit one or two more sagers to join our discussion.

Our BR discussion focuses solely on LR, one section per week; around 90 min to finish our review. We are open to meet online one more time per week for an additional LR or RC section, which we could talk about it later in our skype group.

We hope that you are at least above 160 and a regular and consistent participation is a must. Also you might need to have a Skype account. Most of us are in the time zone GMT +8. So, as long as your time zone is not too far away from ours, I think we won't have a problem to find the time for our discussion.

Shoot me a message if you are interested in joining us!

Hi all, I'm going through the CC now and am about halfway through. I was wondering if it would help/ hinder to start taking maybe 1 PT per week (Even though it would take longer to complete the rest of the CC). Although I'm learning a lot from the CC I'm nervous that as weeks pass I'll be forgetting earlier things I've learned. Has anyone tried this and would recommend? Thanks!

I am looking for a study buddy to meet with once a week in the Boise, ID, area.

Is the test on the tablet issued in landscape style or portrait style? I want to practice it the way it comes up on the tablets at the testing site on my ..laptop (tablet style).

I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue where there are discrepancies between the digital lsat that the LSAC released and the one they demonstrated on the tutorial? On my laptop the same format shows up, but on my tablet the passage only, highlighters, underline, and eraser functions are not there. Also I’ve read that in RC there’s numbers that you can use to annotate the passage, and on SR questions it will highlight it in the passage, and on LR there’s a collapse answers feature and that you can write on it to mark it up with a stylus pen. All of this is missing and there’s not really any mentions on whether this is an old format they will upgrade and post soon or if it’s my device? I already upgraded my tablet (iPad with safari) so I’m at a loss...

I took the Dec. 2013 LSAT at a certain test location and I really didnt like the test location (tiny fold up desk, one bathroom per floor with only 2 stalls, testing locations was separated into d completely different bldgs according to last names and noisy vent). I signed up for the Feb. test for a retake but thinking of changing the location though it was the closest to my home. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me details (what kind of desk, how the proctors were) for CUNY Law and LaGuardia Community college. Thanking you in advance.

It's a great community over there. Everyone is going through the same struggle, and so everyone is encouraging and helpful.

Can we use touch screen for exam if it’s not a tablet? With stillus tool?
