Need ur two cents!

Hey guys,

I am so sorry to post this silly question but I would be super thankful if you give me a short answer to this.

I just really like to canvass ur opinion on this issue. Is it wrong to say that "the downside of human intelligence" or "the downside of having human intelligence" instead of the dark side of human intelligence? Does that sound awkward to u even when I am simply referring to the negative aspect of that endowment? By doing so, I am not talking about the moral perversion. For instance, by being equipped with human intelligence, one could be cunning and calculating, driven by his/her needs. This acumen could sometimes hinder us from developing any unconditional/trust-based relationship with others. Then, what was supposed to serve us positively does a disservice to our welfare against our will. Is it really improper for me to depict its negative effect without resorting to the evil genius in the realm of philosophy? What I want to say is that there could be some cumbersome issues arising from this faculty. Meanwhile, I would like to distinguish the inconveniences from the out-and-out moral failures like crime. I think there could exist some of the attributes that do not promote our well-being while they do not necessarily cross their paths with the humanity's seedy underbelly. what are ur thoughts on this? Forgive me for posing this moronic question.

NYC Study group

Hello everyone! I'm interested in establishing an in-person study group in NYC. I live in Queens, but I'm open to meeting anywhere within the city. I'm studying for the August LSAT. Let's get this W.

Ok, I did a practice session on the LSAT practice on LSAC. I bombed it spectacularly with 5/23. I have autism and sometimes have problems with testing. Is there any LSAT prep programs that are in person? Thank you

Slight problem - I have a slightly long first name, and Prometric only took in the first 15 letters (including spaces) of it. Thus, my LSAT registration only has the first 15 letters of my first name and does not exactly match my ID. Has this happened to anyone before/any suggestions on who to reach out to?

To address any potential questions: I can definitely rule out my own human error, as my first name is correctly and fully entered on my LSAC profile. I also tried to add my full first name on the registration page, but unfortunately Prometric's website pulls it from LSAC and puts it in an uneditable field.

Any views appreciated - thanks!

How could a company have no creative employees yet fulfill the condition "have creative employees"? I went with C because it questions the validity of the language "is said to have" which seems like shakier reasoning than no creative employees can have creative employees.

I am very confused what study schedule I should be using for the August LSAT should I be using the V2 beta or the regular study schedule because they both say different things to do per week? I am just confused how I should structure my studying because the regular one has a lot less time per week than the beta but the beta includes prep tests.

How do YOU study?

What is the best way you all have found to study with 7sage? I usually watch a guided video then try and do a drill of the same sort. Wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving anything on the table. Any input would be awesome. Thanks everyone!

Hi, we're currently seeking a few more individuals to join our dedicated study group focused on enhancing our reading skills for the LSAT or law school education.

This study is open to future and past LSAT examinees who are either planning to attend law school or applying in this cycle.

-Date & Time: Every Wednesday, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM (KST)

-Content:

  • Reading, summarizing, and discussing various essays on topics including jurisprudence (around 20 pages).
  • Generating and solving RC questions.
  • Solving high-difficulty LR questions (2-3 questions).
  • In the second week of March, we discussed Hard Cases (Dworkin), and in the third week, we dealt with Motivational Theory (Brandt).

    If you're interested, please DM me for the link to the open chatroom.

    I'm a non-trad student (27, still in undergrad because I took several years off due to certain life circumstances) and I work Friday-Sunday in healthcare (pharmacy tech), and I do not truly have any days off. During law school, I plan to quit working, but I'm not able to yet. I just feel like I don't have any time to get much LSAT studying in between working, my classes, and sleeping. My highest PT score is 151, and although I know that isn't horrible, I want better so I can get scholarships and in top 50 school if possible. My CAS GPA is going to be poor because my freshman year, my dad died and I quit going to class for a while and failed 3 classes, but I have done really well since I went back, mostly As and a couple Bs. So, I have to get a good LSAT. Anyone have any tips how to squeeze in some LSAT studying while working and school?

    RC Help

    What's up 7sage fam. I am getting my ass handed to me by RC. I meet with a tutor every week, and when we meet and go through problems together everything seems so clear and easy. The second I get by myself, it is like a bomb goes off in my head and I will consistently put up -6 or worse. Any tips that anyone could share would be great. I would take any help I can get right now.

    You can now print a PDF of LSAT Questions straight from the Question Bank!

    Go to the Question Bank! Let's say you've done PT66, 67, and 68 recently and want to drill all the flaw questions from those PTs.

    Select "Flaw or descriptive weakening" (or add "+Flaw"), type PT66, then add all the Flaw questions:

    Then type PT67 and add all questions. Then do the same for PT68.

    Now click "View 23 selected questions" to generate your custom drill in a printable PDF!

    Update on 2024-03-21: we've ended this experiment and turned off the study session calendar. Thanks to everyone who came to a collaborative study session!**

    Hey 7Sage,

    I'm excited to announce free, on-demand, small-group study sessions! Every weekday, we're offering four sessions with ten slots each. The sessions are designed to be student-led—no 7Sage staff will be in the meeting—but we'll provide your group with a suggested activity.

    Please note that the meetings will be recorded for the safety of all participants.

    Sign up for a small-group study session now!

    This is an experiment, and we’d love to hear your feedback.

    Hi guys,

    I am taking April LSAT and I just took PT88 and got score with -6 drop from my usual. I am not too worried about LG -2/-3 is ok for me but I just got like -12 in LR and -15 in RC. I usually get between -6/-9 for LR so I guess 3 more questions I can pass but I usually get -6 on RC with max -9 but with -15 in this RC I don't know what to do anymore.

    Has anyone seen this major drop with scores with this PT particularly or maybe few weeks before the actual exam? I took one from the 90s and I didn't even do that bad on it so now I am confused where I lie. My scores have not dropped nor increased (LOL) for like the past few months and I was pretty happy with my score of 159~ 162. I got 153 on this PT so what will be the actual score on the real one? OR is this PT just from hell and I should just burn it and act like it never existed LOLOL

    Great news: we’ve updated the 7Sage digital tester to include the set of remixed PrepTests LSAC recently released (PTs 101–158). To access them, simply head to the digital tester as usual and click the “August 2024 or later” button at the top.

    Wait, what?

    Here’s the backstory if you missed it: On February 22, LSAC released 58 “new” (well, technically not new) PrepTests on LawHub, a set they’re calling the “August 2024 Admin Test Format.” They start at PT 101 and go to PT 158.

    The change is in preparation for the post-August 2024 LSAT which will be offered without Logic Games. The newly released PrepTests consist of two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension section, and one experimental section. Technically, the material on the tests is not actually new; these are composed of shuffled and repackaged sections from previous tests (PT19-PT94), excluding Logic Games.

    I’m so confused!

    That’s fair! This is a lot to keep track of, even for those of us who only ever think about the LSAT. Here’s a post with a lot more details about the new/not new PTs.

    Flaw Questions

    I don't know why but I always struggle with Flaw questions and get 50% of them wrong all the time. It's just not clicking! Does anyone have any tips that worked for them? Anything would be appreciated.

    Hey! I'm planning to take the LSAT in April and/or June so I can take the LSAT with logic games. I've been studying with 7Sage religiously and do daily drills with both the advanced and auto builder. However, today I went in and everything looks completely different and there is no option to drill logic games. Additionally, I can't see which drills/questions I've done (including LR and RC) as all the preptests are different now. Can 7Sage please fix this and provide a drilling option for those taking the April/June tests?

    For the past four drill sets (main point section under "syllabus"), I have submitted my answers and completed blind review, only to find that the correct answers and explanations are not shown. Under the “Review Results” heading, it just says “Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries.” It did not do this for earlier drill sets.

    This makes it impossible to meaningfully work through the syllabus. Please advise.

    RC HELP

    I have an average of a -6 RC and a -1 LR, plus -0 LG. What did you all do to get your RC so good? I haven't gotten a LG question wrong in a while RC on the other hand is a no go for me.

    This one really confused me because I thought we were always supposed to assume that the premises are automatically true. So the author saying "original" would be a statement of fact rather than circular reasoning. Could someone #help

    Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."
