Hi All,

To be brief, I’m a philosophy PhD student looking for people on the same boat: is in graduate school, studying for the LSAT, plans to go to law school.

If you’re interested, please DM me or leave a comment on this post. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Looking forward to hearing from y’all!

P.S. thanks to JD who encouraged me to write this post.

how do you flag questions in law hub and how many timed should do you recmmend before test day. I've scheduled 8. is that enough? I have the fundamentals in the bag, my average (untimed) is -0 RC, -2, -0 LG. Can I start taking full-pts. My main issues are seconding guessing myself and taking too long on a question and building stamina. I be sleepy!!!!

Please don't forget my answer on flagging questions

Does anyone from NY or any where else wants to study for the June LSAT, if you do please let me know I would appreciate it.

I am having a hard time with this section, any tips? I have the LSAT-Flex scheduled for July and I still can't get through this section smoothly. the other two sections I am ok with. I just find Logical Reasoning to be too wordy and get easily distracted with the answer choices.

Hi! I just kind of confused about how to apply the lawgic we learned in CC to solve LR questions in real life? I was just going over the valid/invalid argument forms and found it sooo hard for me to understand all these forms and apply them when solving questions. Looking for suggestions on how to fully grasp these materials and actually applying them... Thanks!

On 7S you can find explanations pretty fast for BR. Is it the same for taking PT's on LSAC?

I will be taking the online version so it would be great to practice with the actual test interface I will see on test day.

I applied 8 weeks ago and have heard back from a number of schools. Some have offered generous scholarships, and their deposits are due next week. I still have not heard back from my top choice school, but I think it is likely that I'll be admitted. I am concerned however with how long the process is taking. I really don't want to spend a bunch of money on deposits especially if I get admitted into my top choice school, but I also don't want to miss out on a generous scholarship if my top choice doesn't admit me. I was thinking about reaching out to the admissions office of my top choice school and explaining the situation. Do we think this is a good/bad idea? What type of questions should I be asking them? How should I phrase them without coming off impatient or pushy? Thank you for any advice! Just the nature of the beast I guess..

If you review either of my personal statement or diversity statement (open to other essays), I'll do the same for you! Looking for honest reviewers with strong writing skills!

Am currently going to through the core curriculum and seeking someone to review wrong questions with.

Prep Test 28 Section 1, #24

I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out whether the first or last sentence is the conclusion. The 1st and last sentences appear to be saying exactly the same thing, to only pay attention to intrinsic qualities of the artwork.

"What is really aesthetically relevant is not what a painting symbolizes, but what it directly presents to experience because we ought to pay attention only to the intrinsic properties of a work of art and its other, extrinsic properties are irrelevant to our aesthetic interactions with it" but...it sounds just as good to me the other way around so I'm stuck.

Could someone clear this up for me? Thanks.

Hi,

Asking because there are 2 preptest questions that really confuse me regarding this phrase.

In PT80.S2.Q18, the correct answer is B, and the reason why people say that the answer here is not A is because passage A does not have "particular examples". Passage A discusses hypothetical examples (ie line 11-- "if you analyze a stock, decide it is overvalued..." and line 24--"someone selling a stock because..."). People say that these are not particular examples because they don't refer to a single real-life instance.

However, in PT25.S1.Q3, the correct answer is A, even though one of the two "specific examples" used in the passage is a hypothetical on line 15-- "does a government office, for example, have the right..." (the other "specific example" seems pretty specific-- line 32-- "recently, two employees of an automobile company...")

Unless "specific example" means something different from "particular example", I am really not sure how to resolve the paradox between these 2 questions' answer explanations.

Can anyone please explain this?

Thanks!

Best regards

All,

Please PM me if you are interested in joining a small October study group of Hawaii (where I am) and West Coast peeps with the intention of scoring 175+ (realistically). Tell me a bit about yourself.

I am a super splitter and would love to study with a few HIGHLY motivated fellow splitters with T3 to T14 aspirations.

GPA: 3.2

LSAT Diagnostic: 152 (with no studying)

Work Experience: 11 years (military officer)

Personally, my strength is RC (-8 cold-turkey diagnostic, almost everything right except what I ran out of time for). My LR was -10 (again, mainly due to time constraints), and my LG -15. I fully expect to be able to drill LG down to -0 or -1 (I'm rather good at puzzles and recognize that I am likely one of those people who will benefit GREATLY from fool-proofing games). LR I suspect I can get to -3 max and also -3 max on RC.

A note, while I expect to be able to eventually score 175+, I do not know that I will be able to do so in six months of studying, but hell, we might as well try, eh. I also have a LOT of free time to study.

A few notes on me and my aspirations:

I am an 11 year military officer and Service Academy graduate (I fully expect to receive a GPA boost from most schools that I apply to and also double majored and had VERY strong technical course grades, so may be less of a splitter than I appear (and am also 11 years removed from undergrad)); Service Academies have zero grade inflation, increased credit and technical course requirements, as well as military/athletic obligations on top of academic).

I am also LGBTQ+, agender (born female), have a kind of insane resume, volunteer experience, first four year college graduate in my family, D1 Varsity athlete, club President, first law school applicant in family, among other interesting obstacles. Essentially, I expect to have VERY strong essays and a strong resume.

My interest lies in International Human Rights (specializing in environmental and energy security) law.

At 175+ I expect to have realistic chances of getting into all T3 to T14 schools. At 179+, I also expect to have a fighting chance at YS (but still only in the 30th-ish percentile as far as chances are concerned).

I would love to study with some like-minded people.

Much Love,

Chuck

Is this the correct way to think about this stimulus?

Support: B implies conscience and agency+ nations don't have consciences+ families are not agents

Intermediate Conclusion: Groups are not the type of entity that can be worthy of praise or blame.

Main conclusion: Hence, etc....

I just wanted to clarify when to use not both (F---->/C) vs a bi-conditional (F/C). My current understanding is that if the in/out game has only two categories, I should use the bi-conditional representation because it represents the only possibilities because the two variables, in this case "F&C", cannot be in or out together. Whereas I should use the not both representation when there are more more than two groups because while the variables do not have to be together, there are other categories that they will be able to go in.

I just took the November lsat and got a 162. My gpa is around a 3.88 but I think it might end up being higher when CAS adds in my scores from other schools. I really wanted to go to Fordham Law but I don't think I'll be able to get in with this score. I know I could do better because I was scoring between 163-169 on practice tests. Should I cancel my current score and take the January test? getting scholarships is really important to me because I am paying for law school all on my own. I am nervous all the money will be gone if I wait that long.

I’ve been doing some logic games in my head, the level doesn’t really bother me, but in/outs and sequencing are easier to do than grouping, I’ve been doing this out of laziness but also as mental test. Obvi I won’t be doing this on test day and be assured I’m good at splitting/representing rules. And for the most part I get these games perfect, but I’m not really sure how long they take me Bc I don’t time myself, some i finish rather quickly and some take me a while. I think it’s helping my short term memory and making me quicker w forming inferences, what do you guys think about this strategy should I keep going or maybe not?

How can you create systems that set you up for success?

This week, Bailey and Priyana talk about studying for the LSAT with ADHD and how time management and focus strategies commonly used by people with ADHD can help anyone build stronger study habits.

They share practical tips for every stage of the study process, from getting started on tasks to structuring your day, along with Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension–specific advice. They also discuss the value of handwritten lists and explain why both Priyana and Bailey swear by sticky notes.

After 1 year+ of studying for the LSAT, I feel devastated. I just recieved my October LSAT score - 162. In January I got 162 (cancelled) -> 160 in September (cancelled) -> and now 162 again. I thought I could get at least a 165 and feel at a loss because clearly I haven't been studying right for the past year.

I am almost done with my law school applications and intend to apply in the next two weeks. Is it even worth registering for the January LSAT? I'm not sure how much I could improve by then and it would more be for the purpose of having a better score if I was waitlisted or for scholarships... Also, I'm abroad currently so can only take the January international exam.

I am SO done with this awful exam. BTW I am a split scorer - 3.92 GPA and 162 LSAT. I want to get into a T14/20.

What do I do now? Should I just give up and apply with my 162 and hope for the best? I genuinely don't know how I can improve and I just feel like I can't get this test right.

What is the difference really? Is pre-phrasing universally helpful across LR/RC question types or only selectively applicable? I.e, what makes it/when can it be most valuable? Thoughts, counterexamples, and battle-tested opinions welcome!

Hi,

I'm looking for a few ppl who want to meet weekly or bi weekly to cover LR mostly or some RC passages. Please only reply if you're committed to studying and plan on participating. I am scheduled for Feb LSAT but may take Jan and would like to find like minded people with similar goals. Right now I'm very flexible and only working on LSAT. If you're interested pls message me and I'll add you to the groupme. Thanks for reading and good luck!

PrepTest 4 - Section 1 - Question 02

Remember, one is better than 0. The assumption requires that having just the physical exams is necessary and the sufficient argument would be the quality of medical care provided by the laboratory tests, whether uncovered.

Hi!

So I have a question that I could use some advice on. I have been prepping for the January LSAT for a couple months now, and a few weeks ago I was scoring fairly high/where I wanted to. Recently, using more recent practice tests, I have been scoring a little lower and seemingly plateauing around 169. I am not upset with this score of course, but just wonder if I could improve more for a later date. My main question is whether it is a better idea to just take it in January, see what I get, and potentially keep prepping for April or to put January off and just take April instead (February not an option). How does it look to send in multiple LSAT scores to law schools?

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys, I am currently a 0L and will be starting law school in fall of 2021. I have been looking into the 7sage law school explained courses and was wondering if anyone can weigh in on the pros and cons of it? Additionally, do you find the courses helpful and what part of the course has been most helpful to you? I know it's a relatively new addition to 7sage so I wanted to get some feedback from actual students before signing up for the whole course so any thoughts would be appreciated. I just want to get my feet wet before diving into law school so I at least have a sense of what I'm getting myself into before 1L starts lolol

Is there a GroupMe for those taking the April 2021 LSAT? Thanks!

Hi. I am taking the LSAT flex in about 3 months from now in June 2021. I am preparing to retake the LSAT again in either October 2021 or November 2021 if I do not score high enough for my first choice law school for which I will be applying there early decision for their part time program.

I am preparing for the LSAT using numerous study methods including 7 Sage. I am located in Brooklyn Heights at NYC. I am looking for a study partner or study partners that can either meet up live in person or just want to do this over Zoom instead.

Reply back with your contact information which is your email address, how are you studying for the LSAT, your current LSAT score, and top choice law school that you want to attend. Thanks!
