I'm 100% supportive of 7Sage and I believe the law school prep will be well worth peoples' time and money. Aren't there already books to prepare you for law school, such as the Short & Happy Guide to (torts, property etc)? Does anyone have experience using these books?

I'm interested in knowing if people have looked into alternatives and if those are already great resources, or if they're missing some critical points of the law.

Anyhow I'm going to the 7Sage course anyways and thank you 7Sage for providing another resource for us :)

Hi everyone, I’m looking for someone to blind review with for the sept. Exam. I have PTs C2, 84, 85, 87 to do so we would be doing these. Looking for 1-2 people. I can skype and/or if you’re in LA id be happy to meet up.

I’m scoring in low 160s and BR mid to high 160s.

Thanks!

Hello 7Sage Community,

I just wanted some feedback doing problem sets. I have the Ultimate+ package and so I have all of the problem sets but would you recommend doing all of the problem sets or save some so that you may come back to certain question types you are struggling with so you can drill them?

Hey everyone! I've been struggling with Principle Questions. When I come to do the questions I honeslty have no idea what to look for? I do understand Sufficient Assumption questions (trying to bridge the gap between Premise and Conclusion). I even understood the lesson JY has on Principle Questions but when I try to do the problem sets I have no clue how to answer the questions.

Can someone maybe break down a question in the comments and try to explain it?

Thanks!

When someone responds to one of my questions on the comment section of one of JY's videos, I notice I don't get a notification. I think I get an email when someone responds but I have so much spam mail that it is extremely hard to find. Is there a way for me to enable notifications on settings or something so that when someone responds, I get notified?

I started studying hard after I bombed the June test. I feel really good about testing next week. Since I started 7sage, my scores are all increasing. Today, I did the actual test from June and scored 13 points higher. Has anyone had patterns of success here but after completing the real test, failed to show growth? I feel confident that I have improved but afraid that I might mess it up. Test Anxiety is real.

Hoping Perception is reality.

Does anyone know if the LSAT administered in Madrid in October will be a flex?

So I keep making the same number of mistakes. I've been on AP for the last two days and for some reason theres something Im clearly doing thats hindering my part and my ability to fix my mistake. Any idea? PLEASE HELP

For eg : PT 78 Sec 3 Q04--> I picked B even though I did consider C

What am I doing wrong?

Would love to hear feedback from folks who have been here before...I am applying this cycle for Fall 2020 start. I’ll be 30 when I do start and prefer not to delay applying any longer (military background) and really want to start on this next phase of my life becoming a lawyer.

I took in 2016 and scored a 161. I took the July and canceled after I scored a 157. After a lot of time and studying I was PTing 164-168 fairly consistently. Yesterday’s test felt more difficult for me but not enough to cancel. I honestly don’t know where it will fall though; gut feel is on the lower end but fingers crossed.

Because I have the July cancel, I have a voucher for a free retake. Should I sign up for January and if November comes back with a score I can be ok with, I could just not take January? I have almost all of my application materials complete besides a couple LORs and school specific essays. I am likely going to apply to GULC early decision. My plan was to hit send on apps before the new year. If I wait till January then I’m delaying that by at least 6 weeks and applying late in the game. Scholarships are not really a priority, just desire getting into the best school I can to go into BigLaw.

Also, last but not least...I really don’t have the willpower or desire to push myself like I did from July to November. I had mixed emotions leaving the test, but the good was all to do with being done and moving on. However I also recognize I let the pressure get to me more than it should have on this test and I could do better. Any thoughts or stories for perspective would be helpful!

Hi All,

I am just starting my studies for the June 2014 LSAT. I have signed up for the Ultimate Course and am excited to begin. I do, however, have a question about the extent of the materials used in the "practice" sections. Are all LSATs from 1 - 35 used for the various drills? If not, does anyone have suggestions on which additional materials I should purchase to use for drilling the various sections?

Thanks!

procedural question: how do you incorporate an exp section into a digital PT on this site?

(Really glad that it's possible to do all tests digitally here, but other sites (khan, powerscore) include an experimental section. Despite having far fewer PT available overall theirs is a much cleaner way to PT digitally.)

How do people go about incorporating an exp section here, under timed constraints? I'm asking at a technical level, pretty much, since there's no pause option or breaks during timed tests on here.

Do you exit the PT, go to an already opened section in a new window, then navigate back into the actual PT? Seems like an inefficient hassle, not to mention not simulating test day very well at all.

Love 7sage but not sure how to approach this. Thanks!!

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on whether I should cancel my score.

I just took the international LSAT in Asia today and have a few days to think about whether I should cancel this attempt.

A little background: This is actually my fourth take and retaking is not an option for this cycle.

My first two scores (two years ago) were terrible (should've canceled but was too stupid to not do so) and my third take (this Jan.) was a 166. I am aiming for the top 20 law schools in the US.

My question is: should I cancel and work with the 166, or should I see if I bumped up a point or two?

Nothing particularly devastating happened on this attempt but I feel like I performed similarly or slightly worse compared to my recent PTs (which I have been scoring around 167-170). I understand that my situation is not one of the three situations where a cancel is warranted but I was wondering whether already having a close score to my target schools while having no option to retake would be an exception.

I am worried that if it turns out I got, say a 162-ish, schools will think that the 166 is actually an outlier. I imagine even though schools only consider the highest score, a drop on my last LSAT would not reflect well on me.

On the other hand, if I bumped up a point of two, I would probably open some doors to some lower T-14s and may squeeze some $$ for others.

So...I guess it all boils down to how large a drop on the last LSAT would be tolerable or be disregarded by schools?

Circumstances in my life have changed since I submited my applications and I am starting to think the evening program may work better for me. Is it possible that after submitting applications asking to be considered for the day division, I can ask to also be considered for evening?

I'm primarily interested in

Hello,

I noticed that once I click the time section on the scored page of a prep test, I see "Target" with a designated time. I was wondering how this "target" time was designated, especially in reading comp.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I've recently decided to take one more year off before I start law school so I have adequate time to prepare for the LSAT. I'm currently in Colombia working with a grant and I absolutely love being here. For my second gap year, I would love to be abroad somewhere else for about 6 months at least before I start law school, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to begin looking for opportunities. I'm here with a grant that took a year to apply to and I don't really have the time to do that all over again, but I'm learning that it's not as difficult as I once thought to just go and work in another place.

Any advice you guys have on programs or how to look for jobs in a new country (digital or in person) or anything at all would be so appreciated.

Hope you are all having great days :)

I just stumbled on the news.

"Due to the COVID-19 emergency, LSAC has made the difficult decision to cancel the March LSAT. Candidates will be rescheduled for the next LSAT and be offered additional scheduling options should interactions continue to be limited. "

After sitting for the October LSAT, I took the LSAT writing portion the following day. Upon re-reading it after its recent approval, I am worried that because I made some grammatical and phrasing mistakes, it will impact how schools view my application. I am registered for Nov. 25, but want to send my apps off as soon as possible. If I do retake, is it worth postponing my apps for roughly one week to have a better piece of writing sent to the schools? Does it replace the current one on file? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I was reviewing JY's video about approaching parallel flaw reasoning questions in the core curriculum. My favorite commenter @"Accounts Playable" made a comment that I thought would be interesting to answer and/or discuss here.

For parallel reasoning questions, sometimes the stem says that their is a flaw in the argument while others don’t. For the ones that do, obviously there is a flaw. For the ones that don’t is this evidence that the argument is valid? Or could these have flaws as well?

If my understanding is correct, a question stem that asks us to identity the parallel reasoning does not have a flawed argument in the stimulus whereas a question stem that asks us to identify the parallel flaw reasoning does have a flawed argument in the stimulus.

Thanks all!

Most of my apps ask me if my education was interrupted, then ask me to elaborate why. I wrote a very brief answer for most of them, but I'm not sure it's enough: "A protracted illness forced me to leave university in March 2012. I returned in August 2016." Columbia wants me to actually attach an addendum detailing exactly what happened. Do I need to detail my medical history or what?

The other thing is I was terminated four years ago from a job I held for two months. Two of my apps ask me to disclose this and they both ask me to elaborate. How detailed should I be? The answer is actually very simple, I was cashiering and my till came up five dollars over one day so I must have accidentally short changed a customer. To my surprise I was fired a few days later. Do I just say that, or do I talk about how I learned from the experience and so forth?

Hey Guys,

I am an Indian International Student studying in the US. I have been preparing using the US LSAT exams, mostly because I last took the LSAT in the US and also because that is the only material I can find. I am back home in India for a break and registered to take the LSAT here. I am concerned that the material in the test might be different from what I have practiced. Can someone give me some insight into that?

Thanks!

Hello, everyone. I am studying heavily for the LSAT and want to link up with anyone else who is gunning for the June 3rd exam. My ultimate goal right now is to attend the most prestigious school I can get into, and what I am really hoping to do is connect with even just one person who shares this mentality. It is less important for me what that school is for you, and more important that you are studying for the LSAT with that goal in mind. I know there are many reasons to attend law school and many reasons NOT to adhere to the logic I list above when pursuing law school. Regardless, for my own reasons, this is my mentality approaching school and is the mentality I am seeking to develop in community with any others who share it. I appreciate everyone's respect of that.

In my mind, our meetings would be less about studying itself and more about just getting together once a week (or however many times) at a public location (coffee shop, restaurant, etc) to discuss our situations and connect over shared goals. I would be open to taking full, timed PTs on weekends together, but really I am just looking for some accountability and competition.

About me: 22-24 yo, 1-2 years of post grad work experience, attended liberal arts college in the NE.

How do you negate the following sentence?

For most bus drivers, the presence of a supervisor makes their performance slightly worse than it otherwise would be.

In the video for explaining this ac https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-63-section-3-question-06/

JY negate it to all bus drivers, presence of a supervisor makes their performance dramatically worse than it otherwise would be..but i thought to negate most is x you say 0-50% is x. or am I wrong?

Thank you!!

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded to Ultimate+ from the basic package. I have 2 official scores on file, a 159 -> 162. My last few PT's have been between 164 and 168. I have worked through the core curriculum and I want to begin polishing my skills for the September exam. My BR score tends to be in the mid 170's so I am confident I can attain this come September.

I need some advice on how to utilize the Ultimate+ to efficiently practice. I have no idea how to really use it, especially when creating drill packets.

I just need access to 7Sage's course material and explanation videos. Do I need a subscription to LSAT Prep Plus to gain access?
