Hey,

Planning on taking the October flex. I am PTing around 146-150 with goals of hitting around a 160 by October. If anybody would like to be my study buddy or even be a part of a study group. Please let me know!

Hi, Study Buddies!

I hope all is going great for everyone and studying hasn’t been too grueling on you.

I wanted to reach out to all of you on here again for two reasons:

Firstly, our study group has the amazing opportunity to meet with 7Sage’s @"Scott Milam"tomorrow (Saturday, April 9, 2022) for an hour seminar from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM PST. If you haven’t already checked out our GroupMe (chatroom just for our study group), the information for the event and the zoom invite link is posted in there. If you don’t have access to the GroupMe; we have another study session tonight from 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM PST via zoom, we’d love to have you drop in and study with us and you can get the GroupMe link from me then, or send me a message and I’d be happy to get you connected to our GroupMe and the awesome people that make up our study group.

Secondly, studying for this test is a long and often difficult process; it’s very easy to feel discouraged, frustrated, and unmotivated— I struggle with these things myself. I wanted to let you know that you are not alone, and I wanted to encourage you to keep going, to keep trying. As the great Dory from Finding Nemo once said, “When life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming.”

Recap:

Study Group Zoom Meeting with Scott tomorrow, Saturday, April 9, 2022 from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM PST— look in the GroupMe for the zoom link or reach out if you don’t have the GroupMe.

You got this!

4/8/2022 Update. (This is a closed study group. This post is to those tagged)

I'm planning to apply to a merit scholarship ED program, but I'm torn between BU and GW.

Here's the deal: I'm currently planning to pursue some type of criminal or national security law (either at the DA, US Attorney, or other federal law enforcement agency like FBI or NSA.) I'm drawn to GW, just because the location will afford me to be closer to lots of national agencies and make more connections. Additionally, they have a national security law specialty, which is rare at most other schools.

However, I've heard some negative feedback about GW and am also slightly deterred by the huge class size. Additionally, I'm worried about making a decision based solely on location because there's a chance I won't end up pursuing this type of law.

As for BU, I've read that they attract some really renowned professors and scholars, which is very appealing. Also, the class size is much smaller and it is still located in a large city, which will afford me some connections.

I really want to apply to one of the merit scholarship ED programs and I do feel like I can confidently choose one of these schools, especially with some additional insight for all of you. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to register for the LSAT but it is requiring me to provide a fax number. But I dont have a fax... Has anyone run into this problem? How were you able to register?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a study buddy or group to prepare for the LSAT. Honestly, self-studying has been a task for me and I haven't taken the LSAT in almost 10 years. Would anyone be willing to join me as we navigate through this journey?

Military vet reaching out to anyone applying in this current cycle only who wants support, resources, and camaraderie among soon to be peers, as we navigate this application process together. Best of luck to everyone!

I’ve been having issues with RC. When I review questions or watch videos, all it gives me is the breakdown of the passage and doesn’t help with real-time issues regarding how I should map out the passage under time constraints. I either write too little or I write too much; I either eat up time going back to the passage or I spend too much on the diagram and run out of time for the Qs, respectively. Does anyone have a better system, preferably one that references the structure and a low resolution summary?

Hi everyone, I've recently drilled timed sections from the earlier PTs (1-15) and have seen my LR section score improve from about -4/-5 (later PTs) to -2/-3 (earlier PTs) and my RC score improve from -4 (later PTs) to -2 (earlier PTs) in the past two weeks. I've also noticed that I'm able to breeze through the questions faster with time to spare and more confidence at the end of the section. Is this most likely a reflection of an actual skill improvement, or are the earlier PTs easier? There seems to be varying information and opinions about the weight that should be given to earlier PTs.

It's also very likely that I am reading too much into the minor variance from the earlier PTs to current PTs, but I'm a bit nervous to see the results of a new, more recent PT.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Everyone,

I'm feeling down. On lawhub ive been averaging 154-156 on my PTS. I decided to start doing PTs on 7sage so i can track my analytics. The past 3 times ive taken a PT on 7sage , the highest score i got was 149. I'm so confused. I dont know if im regressing or if it is just the layout/format of the platform. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

TIA!

I find myself understanding this concept, but I can't do the timed problem sets under the time given. Does anybody have any outside resources they'd like to share?

When? and how often do i start taking prep tests for 7sage.

Looking for peeps taking the October LSAT that live in Korea! Love to chat and study virtually together.

Hello fellow 7sagers!

I'm sorry if my post is outside the usual scope of 7sage discussions, but I was curious to see if anybody else is in a similar situation as me or has any advice to share.

When I originally decided to go to law school, I was planning on going to law school in the United States (where I'm from), but after evaluating some extenuating circumstances in my life, I decided it would be best for my health to go to Ireland for law school where I can get better access to medical care (I'm a type one diabetic if anybody is wondering). I'm still planning on taking the LSAT, but I was wondering if there was anybody on here who knows anything about international law school admissions (specifically in Ireland) or if there's anybody who's in a similar situation as me. All replies are greatly appreciated! Also, if you took the time to read my post thank you! Stay safe everybody!

#help Please

When the ‘OR’ is in the necessary and the arrow does not split, how is that diagramed? without the ‘OR’ if you have to chain them up?

When the ‘AND’ is in the sufficient and the arrow does not split, how is that diagrammed? without the ‘AND’ if you have to chain it up?

When it comes to fool proofing games, should you watch the explanation video after the first time you do it? And also should every time you do it be timed or should there be some type of BR where you just see if you can get every question right

HI all,

My friend has been pushing me to take this test this year. She went to T14 so her words carry some weight but I feel conflicted. !f you could share some of your thoughts it will be greatly appreciated!

Quick history of my preparation:

I studied LR for 3 months and I am at -8 to -12.

I studied LG for 3 months and I am at -4 to -0

However, I have not taken a single RC section. I have read all RC passages from PT1 to PT35 and watched all JY's explanation videos for these but my reading time for passages is anywhere from 4 to 6 minutes with comprehension level of 3 out of 5. It's not where it needs to be for me to do well in this section imo.

Also, my stamina is not that great. After doing LR translations for 3 sections I am fried.

I can't imagine taking additional LG and RC section on top of this during the real LSAT.

My goal score is 164+ Here's the dilemma:

If I take the 3-section Flex (November) I can take advantage of the shorter test but I wont be ready.

If I take the 5-section 'Real' (sometime next year) I plan on studying for 6 more months but I know I wont be able to perform as well because my stamina is terrible (which may or may not improve)

The best scenario is if LSAC decides to do Flex for some tests in 2021 but this is of course not guaranteed. I personally think there's a high probability that LSAC will do flex for earlier tests next year so I'm very tempted to wait.

P.S.

Those who are tired and feel like giving up, I am right there with you! My translation for a single LR section sometimes take 1-2 hours. I have stagnated and felt depressed about lack of progress too but I'm learning to appreciate even the smallest of improvements (small is not so small!). Celebrate these incremental improvements and keep fighting! I believe we will all be where we want to be at the end :).

Cheers,

PM me!

Hello,

i would like to know how do you BR RC. Do you guy write an explanation for every question?

How long should it be?

Does anybody know why AC C is incorrect?

Does one have a better chance of getting into a school if they are applying to a specific program/ field of study ?

With every flex preptest I take. there is a leftover LR section. Is there a way to do these as a separate timed sections?

Hey everyone, is the best way to follow the CC just to go from top to bottom ?

And if so, are some of the topics laid out in the wrong order ?

I have routinely encountered videos or topics ( Parallel method of reasoning ) for example. Where JY says its the last or highest section of LR. But, I still have many other question types etc still to do below it. like necessary assumption question type. Did they rearrange the video order or something ? Im honestly confused and want to be learning the question types in the proper order, due to the fact that the topics snowball together ! Please help or advise !

Planning on taking the November LSAT, scoring around 165 but aiming higher. Looking to create a study group, I am currently in University so I think evening time 7 PST would be best or early morning. Looking to meet around three times a week and focus more on LR and RC. Also for support through this. Planning on going through PT 62+

Hey All,

First off, I am looking for a study buddy that is a full time parent & works a full time job. We need to make time & hold each other accountable!!!

Second, I have a channel dedicated towards the LSAT test days.

For every testing, I do a message for every date there is a test.

It’s beneficial when you’re already overthinking that big day!!!
