Hey y'all!

This week's LSAT Tips is out-- this week I talked about three misconceptions about the LSAT. You can read it here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/three-lies-about-the-lsat?s=w

I hope this week's newsletter is helpful!

Thanks!

I watched the first dozen lessons on reading comprehension and already I've improved. I would typically miss 3-4 questions in a batch of 7-8, and now I'm only missing 1/8, albeit, the most difficult question of the passage. So far, I'm very impressed with the lessons on here. Super helpful!

On the real exam, can you change the timer countdown so that it counts up to 35 minutes rather than show how much time is remaining in the section?

Hello everyone,

I am planning on writing the November test, and am wondering:

When will the LSAC announce whether the November test will be in-person or flex? (I cannot imagine the test not being flex, but I am curious as to whether other people share the same thoughts)

While we do not know whether the November test will be flex or not, should I PT with 4 section tests or 5 section tests?

Thankful for any feedback!

Hey guys!

I'm finding that I'm still having trouble really intuitively knowing when my job in Parallel Method of Reasoning q's is to mirror the lawgic/structure of the argument, and when we're being asked to carry that train of thought/conclusion/principle into the answer choices (please don't say it's always about structure; maybe I'm not articulating what I mean correctly, but it's defintily 100% the case (after watching many many of JY's videos) that we're asked to carry the salient claim/reasoning into our selection of answer choice. (Ie. PT17.s2.q24 from Problem Set 3; or PT28.s3.q26 also from set 3).

The second q stem reads "which one of the following arguments is most similar in it's reasoning to the argument above?" Both answer choices seem to emphasize an especially strong match with part of the argument, not just a simple structural match...but the stems don't really do all that much to tell us that.

But after going through the practice sets in the curriculum, I can't seem to accurately/quickly distinguish whether paralleling the pattern of reasoning will refer to finding a parallel conclusion, or more broadly, overall parallel structure.

So sorry if this post sounds beyond confusing--I realize my attempt to articulate my struggle isn't great--but I'm just a little surprised that (if this issue really does exist, and I'm not just creating problems....happens) that it's not distinguished/discussed in the curriculum "as a thing".

Hi!

My friend who went to Yonsei UIC and I are starting an online LSAT study group. He has an official score of 176 and my score fluctuates from 166-172. I am not sure if this means anything but I have a degree from Johns Hopkins.

We meet at 7 pm-9 pm Korean Standard Time on Wednesday.

I have a Zoom Pro, so we can meet without interruption.

If you are interested, please send me a DM and I will invite you to the KakaoTalk group chat!

Thanks! (:

It's now time for everyone to describe their routines and study methods... that got them their scores for this lsat.

I applied to WashU back in mid-October. It was kind of a reach school for me, so I was not necessarily expecting a quick invite for an interview. However, it has been over three months since I have applied, and I have heard nothing. I'm assuming it's a likely denial but am confused as to what is taking so long to tell me no. The status tracker indicates that they have received all of my documents but says nothing else regarding the status of my application. Is this typical?

Hello,

I work full time Mon-Fri and planning on taking the August 2024 LSAT. I typically study 3-4hours on a weekly basis. This would be my third time taking the exam and have decided to take a different studying approach. Would love to connect with folks in NY for weekend study sessions who would also benefit from these study sessions.

Thank you and good luck to you all!

Can someone explain why B is the correct answer choice? ("The concentration of oxygen-18 in seawater is increased")

For those of you who were waiting to take it here. Just stumbled upon it going through problem sets... no explanations yet, but at least it can be added to your analytics now.

CLOSED - Thanks for joining in everyone!

Attached is the link for those taking the August LSAT and beyond!

I applied to Berkeley ED and got dropped into their regular applicant pool.

Is this a situation where I should write a LOCI or is that only for waitlisted candidates?

Thank you!

I like to BR my answers and review the wrong ones all in the same studying session so I don't lose my train of thought, however im only just beginning to study so I do have a fair amount of wrong answers.

Im wondering if there's a way that you can just go through individual sections, BR them and then review the right answers without having to do the entire test?

Thanks!

I heard so many horror stories with underlining and highlighting.

Is the real thing different from 7sage in terms of latency and accuracy?

Also, I use iPad Pro 2nd + Apple Pencil 1. Has anybody been practicing with that combination noticed difference on the real thing?

Hey everyone! There's lots of big study groups out there but I'm searching for a consistent nightly study partner to finish out the grind to the August test. Currently PTing upper 160s and looking to break 170s. I work full time so study at night only around 7-10 PM EST and weekends. Message me if interested!

I have been missing -4 pretty consistently on LR for a long time. I started around -6, been studying for about 3 months. I know I can get my LR down to -2. Anyone been in this situation have any tips?

Can’t believe I’m writing this but I just got my first acceptance of the cycle. Penn State offered me a full ride (including for the second and third years) and I’m beyond surprised. I’m an international student, so I don’t know much about it. It was one of my last choices when applying but after getting a full ride + reading about it online, I’m actually quite intrigued! I was wondering if anyone else on here was also accepted or is currently studying there? Would love to know what it’s like, what the town is like, etc. Thanks!

I’m taking the November test. Yesterday the May 2020 LSAT-flex came up in the LawHub.

I’m going to take it in a week or so. Let’s blind review this test together.
