I have worked abroad for the last decade and my undergraduate and master's degrees were attained far in past. I think Moses wasn't shaving yet when I got my MA. I am not deterred by the notion of having my LOR translated, but I do worry about the authors' facility with LSAC's English-only website.

If anyone knows about the step-by-step process for uploading LOR, I would like to translate it. I have asked LSAC for the same with screen shots, but am preemptively asking here in case they come up gor nisht.

Of course, in the event that LSAC comes through, then all of your birthdays will have come at once and I'll be the one doling out the multilingual screen shots.

Thanks in advance? You're welcome in advance? To be concluded...

I normally score pretty well on my lsat, however like a lot of people I did horribly on the lg. my question is if I score for the sake of arguing that I score 146 , but in December I score 166, what are my chances of getting into a good school?

Hey everyone, I've been noticing in PTs that my second LR section score is significantly lower than the first LR section. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get past it? Unfortunately, I feel like I mentally check out by the time I get to the second LR section because I just want it to be over with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because it's really bringing my PT scores down.

Hello everyone,

I'm interested in Criminal law. My goal after law school is to get lots of experience working as an ADA before moving into the federal arena. Does anyone know a website where I can compare the salaries of ADAs across states? It appears the average starting salary is about 63k a year. However that 63k translates differently given the varying costs of living.

Really trying to find that sweet spot a low cost of living and average salary...and avoid staying in my hometown, which is Baltimore MD.

Ironically, Baltimore City ADAs make 63k, the cost of living is manageable, and there's plenty of crime to keep me busy.

Any other states I should look at for law school?

Looking for another human being to sit with me over video and make sure I do not leave my desk for at least two hours . . . Also maybe jump off some ideas. Not so much a study group but more so just trying to get it done, with the goal of taking the exam in the summer---

I am on the east coast and right now my availability is after 7:30pm M,T,TH,SAT, and any time on Sunday.

Happy New Year!

Hi,

I was looking at the Preview App feature and saved documents in Word, but can reformat if needed, maybe to PDFs, and when I paged through an application, there were some blank pages, I think because the essays would have elapsed onto a new page if they were a little longer. I'll try to reformat later, but does anyone have other strategies that can be used to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

#help I have improved my score since starting 7sage but Sufficient Assumption questions give me a lot of trouble. They are my worst question type by far and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how they approach these questions. If anyone could offer advice or their strategy that would be amazing! Thank you!

Drilling methods

I am retaking the LSAT in December and was wondering what everyone is doing for their drill work. I am basically going to drill full sections and review them and find out what my weaknesses are. Any advice?

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?

Facts:

1.) We found titanium in 2 Bibles: (JG and B-36)

2.) Titanium in 15th century Vinland Map (purportedly)

Conclusion: B-36 must have been printed by JG and Vinland Map is from 15th century

Flaw:

Is it wrong for the stimulus to conclude the B-36 Bible must have been printed by JG because that assumes Titanium was rare enough so that it can be traced back to a specific printer? But I don't see what is wrong with using Titanium to prove VMap is authentic. Does VMap have any relationship with JG?

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!

So I decided no to take the July LSAT even though the accommodation was appealing (still turns out we cant register for the September test with the freebie) So my question is, now that I dont have to rush.. I am currently halfway through the LG CC, should I full proof during the CC or after I finish the LG section of the CC?

Hi everyone!

Some of you may remember I made a poll about a month back regarding my uncertainty about taking the LSAT in December, well, after reading everyone’s advice I opted for the best choice: take the LSAT at a later date!

Before the deadline, I sent LSAC an email with an attached refund request, which they provide online. I haven’t received any response from them, LSAC I mean. Should I go ahead and withdraw? I don’t want to lose my refund, but more importantly, I don’t want to be marked a no show for the December LSAT!

Any thoughts? Have any of you guys had this experience ?

Thanks :)

So i have the premium pack now, but i will take the test on September which will be digital. So i want to upgrade to ultimate which has up to PT 71. However, is ultimate+ worth it since it has the latest PTs? or there isn't much difference between ultimate and ultimate+?

Hey so I was doing some surfing on eBay for cyber Monday of course, and I came across someone selling their LSAT materials, I guess they got what they wanted out of them. This is the most interesting one I saw, a bundle of PT 7-80, which is awesome! Go get it folks! There’s also the Powerscore trilogy and The LSAT Trainer on there as well.

The system always says "enroll in a full course", but I'm already enrolled and paid. Now I can't study any lesson except the free trail. Am I the only person having this problem? Plz help!

I need some insight. I Took the LSAT dec 16 and was not nearly prepped. I decided to retake and have been studying hard since april or so.

Im at a strange phase in my studying where i am scoring around and sometimes above my potential but iv only taken 7 tests. Ive done multitudes of timed sections and drilling.i feel very confident, but my brain is starting to get toasted from studying.

I am signed up for september. And until this week i was planning on postponing till December. But now i kinda wanna take it.

My concerns are as follows. I have foolproofed 1-40 games. I also proofed the games i have taken in PTs. But i still havent seen alot of games. I also havent really touched the 60s and only took PT 78,70,71,72,60,61,65.

So i have alot of material i am not exposed to..

Averaging a 170, havent gotten above a 174 yet.

What do you guys think? should i postpone?, or take it with a slight chance of a cancellation?

Correct answers in MSS questions are almost always one of two types: restatement of an idea from the stimulus or the conclusion of the stimulus (which was left unsaid in the stimulus).

But I've noticed a slight variant of the latter where the right answer choice asks us to identify a sub-conclusion -- slight more complex since we need to account for the premises and the conclusion stated in the stimulus. As a result, these operate a lot like a bridging question.

In 52.3.23, the stimulus gives us two survival benefits of HS and concludes from that support that a dense colony could survive indefinitely. That conclusion isn’t supported very strongly at all. There is so much we don’t know. But we need to accept the stimulus as true: these premises support that conclusion. It feels a lot like a bridge which means we are likely pushing out a sub-conclusion from the stimulus.

A. "If there was a dense colony then that colony would be capable of carrying out the two benefits indefinitely" (paraphrase). This is perfect -- it connects the survival benefits in the premises to the indefinite time horizon in the conclusion and in that way receives support.

B. This gives us a little more info about how one of those survival benefits operates but that's not supported by anything in the stimulus.

C. We don't know anything about "most organisms"

D. "If this bacteria thrives indefinitely, then HS has removed all oxygen and killed some organisms". There are two big problems here. First, it says these HS survival benefits are necessary for indefinite thriving. That's just not supported. What if we put the bacteria in a highly controlled lab environment with no oxygen and plenty of food which didin't need to be killed? Second, the stimulus doesn't say that all oxygen has to be removed.

E. Any colony? Ensures? Not supported in the least.

46.4.09 is another example of such a MSS although I think it is much more difficult.

Is there a summary of all of the different question types for LR that briefly explains the strategy for handling each of them? I am not opposed to putting one together myself, but if there is already one available, well then that saves me some time!! Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Been on 7Sage since earlier this summer and have gone through the coursework. Now I'm working on PrepTests. I have access through PrepTest 55 and plan on upgrading to get access to the full PrepTest library.

I've seen people comment on how the LSAT changes over time - usually to get more difficult and ensure the curve. Anyone have a general timeline of the step changes, e.g. Preptests 55-68 are one level of difficulty (usually LG), but then Preptests 69 onward jump it up a notch in the RC section, etc?

Sorry if this is a duplicate post.
