Hi there,

Does anyone have any tips on how to properly use the Microsoft tablet provided by LSAC?

Hi! I am taking the august test using LSAC's loaner tablet. Does anyone have experience taking the test with it? It can both stand or just rest on the table, does the proctor care in terms of how we set it up? I am wondering how the proctor will see me if it's resting on the table. Also can we use ctrl f on this device?

Just making sure I am right for the right reasons

ucla has a disadvantage or disability statement option.

should i submit my diversity statement as an optional addendum? 7sage says not to send ucla a diversity statement unless it’s about disadvantage or disability.

i’m pretty confused as to why ucla doesn’t want to consider the widely recognized forms of diversity, more specifically- my religion

Current student in Philly planning on taking the August LSAT, practice test-ing in the 155-160 range looking to get up to 170+ range. Let me know if you're interested, and also preferred method of communication. Thanks :)

I'm looking for 1-2 people to BR the LR and/or RC section of full timed PTs. I'm scoring in the 150s and looking to score 160+ on the August Flex test. I'm planning on taking 3 PTs every week and doing BR in the evening. Looking for people scoring in a similar or higher range and available to review on one or more of the days (MWSaturday).

I was wondering if anyone had ideas about things to do in your free time or like on the bus. Does sudoku really help? I play a lot of chess and thought that would maybe help. Aside from that probably getting exercise would help keep your mind sharp.

Hey all-

I've just jumped down the rabbit hole of attempting to calculate my "academic summary index" score. For anyone who is unfamiliar with what I'm referring to, view it here: https://www.lsac.org/key-online-academic-summary-report?access-code=academic-summary.

2 questions: 1) once my LSAT score is made available, will the LSAC actually make my score visible to me for me to check? The website says students can write in if they find errors, but I'm not sure where to look to confirm my info is accurate. 2)I'm an undergraduate admissions officer currently, and I understand pretty well how these algorithms are generated. I'm wondering if anyone else can speak to how any given schools weighs this data? From my best guess crunching some numbers, it seems to me that every school is ultimately going to consider admission for a student who has a calculated score of (0.0.(/p)

If anyone can provide clarity, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Hey all,

Like many, I've doing a number of PTs and find that parallel flaw questions are my weakest point in LR.

I was wondering if anyone had advice about when to use mapping on parallel flaw questions vs. when to intuit the flaw and answer choice match?

For example, I've just completed PT 53, and JY uses a conditional map for Question 21 Section 1. I realized after watching JY's explanation that trying to reason through or intuit this flaw would have been rather futile.

However, on the same PT—Question 13 Section 3, JY reasons through the flaw in his explanation. His explanation was great (it was a part relating to whole flaw) but I'm not confident in my ability to know when to use reason and when to use maps.

If anyone who is proficient at Parallel Flaw questions could share language cues or other details they use to know when maps are optimal and when they should reason through the question, I would really, really appreciate them!

Thanks so much, *also my first 7Sage post.

Just finished the November lsat flex.

I got LR-RC-LG. LR was very easy and it’s probably like something in the 60s. RC was just brutal, and I feel it’s even harder than the October’s RC. LG was always my best section (average about -0 or -1), but this time I just feel really bad. I don’t know if it’s because LG was the lsat section or what, but I just could not make any useful inferences at all.

I got 161 in the October test and I’m wondering if I should cancel this test or not.

should I just use the 161 to apply my safe schools and retake in January?

I started out doing full length PTs and transitioned to Flex PTs soon after LSAC announced the flex. I recently took a full-length PT and my score went up by 5 points! It was beautiful. Then I realized that it could be variance, and it could also be that my RC scores are poor and that having 2 LR sections offset my overall score. Any thoughts on this? Should I stick to 3-section PTs as a more accurate measure of my scoring which seems like the right move?

Further, is there a way convert my score from LawHub into 7sage to reflect both a full-length PT AND a flex-pt with 3 sections? I would like to see how my score would be scored as a 3-section PT in addition to the conversion I made from into 7sage from LawHub as a length PT if that makes any sense.

On another note for those of you who would like to share their feedback, being that my scoring in RC is subpar, should I spend extra time working on RC or solidify my LR which is my 2nd best section after LG? Looking to yield the most points before November, obviously ;)

Thanks 7sagers!

I just thought of this today and wanted to know if it would be an issue, the place I have been practicing for the LSAT in and where I plan to take it from is an upstairs room that doubles as a storage place for all my parents useless things that they don't want to throw out but do not need currently. Examples are scrap books, non perishable food, suitcases, pictures and some more things like that. The room is big and in the center I have my big desk I have been working at, nothing around me is of any academic value but will I be required to move things out of the room?

Hello All

I am graduating in April with a 3.8 GPA & I am writing for the Test in January 16 for the first time . I will be studying to target score over 166 and I am looking for someone who wants to succeed at the LSAT togather .

If you are interested in, I would love to chat and see if our approaches to the exam are compatible. Please message me directly. I only want people who are serious.

Thank you

Best Regards ,

Hi everyone! I am trying to do a big u-haul of how I approach LR questions. I am trying to have a heightened focus on accuracy and process over speed and results. I'd really, REALLY, appreciate it if someone could give me feedback on how I analyzed/broke down this question and the answer choices (I got it wrong the first time). Thanks a bunch!

Conclusion: Herniated disks and bulging disks could not be the cause of serious back pain for back pain sufferers.

Why?

P: Half of group 1 had these herniate disks and bulging disks, yet they did not experience back pain.

The argument fails to consider something.

Flaws I can see:

These are two groups of people, how can we conclude something based off of two groups with distinct differences (back pain sufferers vs non back pain sufferers)?

Perhaps there are other key differences that cause the herniated disks or bulging disks to cause back pain for actual back pain sufferers.

Answer Choices: The doctor's argument fails to consider the possibility that...

A) This has it really wrong. To make it work, I needs to say the following:

A factor that is in the presence of a certain effect (HD or BG and no pain) may nonetheless be sufficient for a different effect (HD or BG may be enough to produce serious back pain).

This is not what the answer choice says, though. Also, how do we know that HD and BD do not NEED to be present in the circumstance where back pain is present?

B ) Yes, though worded in a way I did not expect, perhaps a third factor and herniated disks and bulging disks all cause serious back pain. This matches the flaw #2 I have above.

C) . This AC has the argument flipped and is assuming the error in the argument- that is the fact that perhaps the herniated disks are present and contribute causally to back pain.

D) This is not the flaw. So what if herniated disks might not occur in half the entire population? The flaw is that they are erroneously concluding something about two different sets of people (back pain vs non back pain and what causally contributes to both).

E- The error is not in the comparative likelihood of herniated or bulged disks' presence when there is pain vs when there is no pain. The flaw is that nevertheless, they are assuming that even if (imo) there are herniated disks present when pain is present, the pain is not caused by the herniated disks. Perhaps herniated or bulging disks and a third factor all together cause back pain.

Has anyone taken 7sage Law school prep courses, I am wondering if anyone has found it beneficial. I can't find reviews on it.

Hi,

I was hoping that someone might be interested in reviewing my personal statement and giving me feedback.

I'm a bit confused at this point and need some direction. I've had it reviewed a few times and don't know when to stop editing it. I think that I'll always find faults in it so I'd love some feedback to identify what actually needs to be improved.

hello everyone,

in a past life, I took the GRE because I was convinced I wanted to get a PhD in Political Science. After many professors telling me not to do this and instead go JD-MPP, I've been on the law school path. Today, I got an email from Georgetown's Admissions Director "I invite you to apply for Fall 2021 admission with your GRE score. Although this invitation does not waive your application fee or guarantee admission, we feel that your academic talent and background would make a positive contribution to the intellectual community at the Law Center."

What does this mean? Don't want to get my hopes up. My LSAT score has been consistently around 166 on practice tests, so I thought G'Town would be a reach.

Hi all,

I’m looking for a study buddy who’s really solid with RC — I used to average max -3 on RC with older tests but am now doing worse than before — now I sometimes get -7. I am currently averaging anywhere from 168-173. If anyone would benefit from explaining how they arrive at certain answers/compare PTs — DM me! Would love to meet via Zoom couple of times throughout the week until the Nov flex.

Am I the only one who would totally pay for this? LG has always been my favorite section because I love logic puzzles (even on the days they don't love me.) And since LSAC is looking to change this section of the test, I would like these puzzles to do in my spare time. Especially since if I manage to get my goal score on the first try, I may never get to see some of the infamous games I haven't had a chance to try yet.

Hello everyone!

I am still in the beginning stages of studying for the LSAT and am looking for a study buddy (or group) to bounce questions off of, as well as do Blind Review with. I am aiming for the February LSAT, but if I feel like I'm not ready, I will be testing in April instead. As of now, my strongest section is Logical Reasoning, and my weakest section is Reading Comprehension. Most recent PT was 156, (BR - 159). I'm aiming to do the best I possibly can!

If anyone is interested, please pm me.

Good luck to everyone!

Hi all! I bought access to the full course, and saw that according to the course syllabus you don't start doing the PT's till you finish all the class material.If i study 40+hrs a week, that means I don't start doing PTs until at least week 7. I know we shouldn't spoil past real exams, but was just wondering has anyone tried incorporating PTs into their studying before finishing all class material? like taking one PT a week just to track progress or get a feel for the entire exam?

Just curious to know how the recent USSC decision on affirmative action will affect admission chances. For instance, would this be put into play for this admission cycle? Thanks!

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew more the less the frequency of Hybrid Games in the Logic Games section of the LSAT??

So out of 4 Games, how many are likely to be Hybrid games? All of them, half of them, maybe one?

As I was practicing the PTs offered here in 7sage, I noticed that pretty much every single Logic Game in the more current exams are a Hybrid of sequencing, matching, and grouping and all of them were quite elaborate. None of them were exclusively sequencing, matching, or grouping. Is this how the LSAT will be? All Hybrid? If so it's fine I just would like to know if anyone has any insight or previous experience.
