Hey guys! This is probably a pretty obvious question, but I'm just confirming something. I took the LSAT for the first time last September and completed a writing sample for it, as it shows on my LSAC account. I am taking the test again next week, and on the LSAC website listed above my previous writing sample it says that for this upcoming LSAT, I need to complete the writing sample "as soon as possible." To my knowledge, we only need to have one writing sample on file, so I don't need to complete this one as well, right? I'm just confirming so I don't have any issues next week. Thanks! :D

Are we supposed to assume that these chemicals are initially "harmless" or that the dilution process caused them to become harmless? There is nothing in the passage discussing whether or not the chemicals are harmless.

No other answer choice makes sense, but Answer choice A requires some form of assumption to be made.

some insight please.

Hi all! I am looking for an evening hour (after 5pm MST) or weekend (Sat. and Sun.) study partner(s) for the January LSAT. Please message me if you are serious about consistently studying within those parameters and I will invite you to a discord server!

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!

I was trying to send out transcripts and have received an error. Anyone else have the same issues?

Is there a way to take individual LR sections?

Thank you

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!

Been finding Net Effect Questions to be a challenge. Anyone have tips on how to identify these questions. and then how they approach them. Cost-Benefit Net Effect questions are pretty straight forward its the more nuanced net effect question types that give me more of a challenge at the moment

This is by far my worse section. I'm currently scoring a 161and missing like 10 questions on RC. Any tips to lower that to at least - 6.

I get why (E) is the answer here, there's a flaw between the premise and sub-conclusion. Just because a majority are unaware doesn't necessarily mean they disprove of the attempt.

But I'm having a tough time eliminating (D). If we just isolate the sub-conlusion (premise) and main conclusion we get: Since a majority of them obviously disapprove of THE attempt, graduate students at this university should not unionize. Ok, so they disapprove of THIS attempt, but isn't there the possibility that they may want to unionize for other reasons, which is what (D) says? Or maybe I'm just reading this wrong. Any help woulf be greatly appreciated!

I’ve been studying for the LSAT exam for a little over two years and I’ve made no progress on the logical reasoning. I always get half right and half wrong, consistently, and most of the time I always get down to two answer choices and most of the time I always choose the wrong answer choice. Before anyone says that I ought to approach this with a memory based effort, my mentality is that I would rather approach it with a critical thinking based effort, because that’s what this exam is measuring. I would rather not shoot myself in the foot all because I decided to memorize each grain of sand on the beach and their names and their elements and their relatives and their language style and their blah blah blah. I just want to learn how to do this exam based on the advice I was already given by some lawyer types, who seem well established, who all said some general advice and were adamant that I should approach it with a critical thinking based effort rather than a memory based effort. So is there at all a tip or method or trick or magic whatever that allows me to look at the question, look at the passage, then look to the answer choices and then somehow go a little bit further in helping me select the correct answer choice?

Hi I'm looking for a study buddy maybe someone that goes to Florida Atlantic University. I'm good at games and reading comprehension just need help with lr. If your struggling with games or the reading comp I can help you and vice versa. If interested just inbox me thanks.

Unfortunately, I find myself frequently narrowing down RC answers to two choices, then picking the wrong one*. This is especially the case with MAIN POINT questions (although I have no problem identifying conclusions in LR stimuli).

While I know the common types of incorrect ACs (out of scope, too narrow, unsupported, etc.), that knowledge doesn't seem to be helping me, especially in a time crunch.

I've also come across seemingly conflicting information in my study materials* concerning main point questions: some say it has to encompass all the main points of the paragraphs (or else it's too narrow), while others say it should just focus on the main conclusion and any subsidiary conclusions shouldn't be mentioned (or else it's too broad). Which is correct?

It's hard to find the right answer when I'm unsure exactly what it needs to include (or exclude).

ANY help is greatly appreciated, especially that which I can apply within the next couple days (if possible).

Thank you!!!

Background:

**(I've just been studying on my own with the help of some misc. prep books and free online materials [ya girl is broke], but need some additional help.)

Especially regarding RC, but in general as well! Please post a link if possible!

Thanks.

Why must the answer to relate to the audience? Is it just because the preceding sentence was regarding how the audience could react? Because the specific sentence in question is in reference to "participants," I assumed that it would involve the actors, and that's why C was appealing to me. Any further insight would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

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).

EDIT: Room has been taken.

Hey All, I was planning on going to UVA’s Open House but unfortunately my plans have changed. I booked a hotel room that is not refundable at the university hotel (literally walking distance from the school). If anyone is interested in going and wants my room, I will give it to you for $60 (I’ll call the hotel and change the name on the room to yours). PM me with your email address if you are interested.

Currently looking for any study groups already existing or else to form one. Message me if interested!

Hi everyone! I have a discord LSAT study group with 25 members and it's a very new group with mainly Loophole students. But we're starting to drill more via 7Sage and have scheduled a few group drilling sessions this week. We'd love to welcome anyone who would like to join our Wrong Answer Review session tomorrow and a 10 Questions or Die session on Saturday!

The Discord invite is https://discord.gg/EsVqSsRU. Or you can just add my Discord user (cutiminti). Hope to see some of you there :)

Is there a wait period for a rejected application to a law school with rolling admissions? For example, if you apply in the fall and get rejected, can you reapply in the spring, or do you have to wait until the following calendar year?

Is there a way to create a problem set based on a specific type of RC question? Based on my trends I need to work on meaning of phrase in context and application of hypothetical situations. Is it possible to create questions sets with that filter or are RC problem sets simply based on full passages.

Hi everyone! I feel like I heard someone mention in the comments or maybe in the 7sage podcast that there is a way to foolproof LR, but I can't remember where I heard that or how to do it. Does anyone have any ideas?

Tajira McCoy and her crew of law school admissions deans return for their most recent monthly discussion. This time, they dive into all things related to the written aspects of an application.

In your personal statement, do you have to write about why you want to be a lawyer?

Should you tailor your personal statement for every school?

When the instructions say “two pages max,” what happens if you go just a bit long?

How do you stand out on your statements (or is it even advisable to try and “stand out”)?

All that—and more!—in this month’s discussion.
