I was PTing for August before the new formats came out and now all of my old data is locked away in the old format section, including the questions I've already taken. Really unfortunate that I can't see which PT's ive already unsealed when looking at the new formats, need to constantly be switching back and forth. Can you guys please work out a fix to merge progress between new and old formats, specifically which questions we've already done? Annoying I'm paying for 7sage and wasting time on spreadsheets when you guys have all the data #help

I am doing some of the recent PTs and find myself struggle with the relationship among ideal experiment, control groups and causation. (eg: May2020 LR Q11, Q14). I know that ideal experiment could produce a casual outcome, but I still tend to make mistakes on questions testing the ideas of having control groups or of similar concepts. Are there any recommended material that I could read to better understand those concepts on the LSAT?

Many thanks!

Hi all,

I started studying for the LSAT about eight months ago, and I started seriously studying/taking PTs in the last four months or so. I have consistently faced the issue of not being confident enough whenever I am on timed sessions. I see myself changing my answers from correct to wrong answers on LR. I am current in the low 160s 161-164 range, and every time I BR, all the correct answers are so obvious. My BR is in the 170s. But whenever, it is under time, either I don't see the correct answers or I just get so fixated on the wrong answer. I also have had problems with except questions. I would think to myself that it is an except question, and then by the time I get to the last answer choice I just forget that I was dealing with the except question. Any advice on mechanisms/strategies on how to improve confidence/preventing careless answers? I have been trying to do some strategies like, pointing at ACs as I read through. My RC could also be better, like around -4. -5 right now. I get to -2 or 0 when I BR for RC. For RC, my main issue is with rushing the last paragraph when I get freaked out.

I was hoping to take the October LSAT, but it seems like I might have to withdraw and shoot for November. Any advice for whether or not I should sit for October? This is mainly also because I have taken it twice already and once canceled/ one in the 160s. Thank you.

For those who have consistently achieved anything from -0 to -3 on RC, do you have any tips on approaching the most difficult questions of a section/passage under time constraints? On questions, I'll set a certain amount of time (e.g. 45 seconds) per question. On extremely tricky questions where I debate between 2 answers, I'll flag the question and move on if I run out of time. Typically, I'll be hyper attentive and look for a specific word that might help me eliminate an answer choice, but this doesn't always work (shoutout PT45 S2 P2 Q10 ugh). I'm currently averaging anything from -5 to -10 (a large range ik).

Is there anything specific you do while reading the passage that helps with the most difficult questions? Do you look back at the passage? Purely rely on memory and low-res? Does anything change in your approach when you're answering the last passage of a section, knowing that the questions will likely be more difficult?

Advice appreciated! Thanks!

Hey I am very interested in joining and just want an idea on how to even approach this course. Currently I am thinking about going through all the curriculum(I have 8 hours a day to spend on this), taking a diagnostic test, seeing where I am at, going to sign up for either a class or coach version, take drills and get a custom study plan. Is this a good plan, what plan do you suggest? I also want to know how do i know when to take my prep tests, do you guys offer any type of timing or anything so i can know whether or not I am taking an exam to early or too late. Also what is the difference between the coach plan and a private tutor. I mainly just want to have a structured plan (without me having to guess when I have to take a exam etc) while also getting real feedback?

Hey all! Just out of curiosity, where is everyone planning to apply and why? My top choice is University of South Carolina since I want to live there and the law school facilities themselves and faculty are amazing. But I went undergrad at University of Kentucky so I will be applying there too, as well as FSU since I am a Florida native and want to keep my options open. If anyone was looking at going to UK and has questions about the school or Lexington in general, or if you're like me and want to go to USC, feel free to reach out and DM me!

Hello, I have been reluctant in requesting my transcript from National Clearing House. When I input the mail address directly from the LSAC website it tells me the address cannot be found.

Has anyone used the email option from National Clearing House and was it accepted? I'm hesitant about the email option since it says it will send my transcript as a link... If you have please include what email you listed it being sent to!

Thank you!

I am struggling to figure out what Link Assumption means! It is my top priority for improvement on my analytics page and I can not find any information on what this means #help!

I'm wrapping up my Master's degree and I have some extra space in my schedule next semester. I've been planning to take an easy, intro-level course in a subject outside of my degree to get myself to the full-time hour requirement, but I'm not sure how that will look to law schools. Do y'all think they'll view it as me slacking in my last semester? Should I add another graduate level course instead?

BR Group!!!! PT 60!

Saturday, April 2nd at 8PM ET: PT60

June BR Group Schedule: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/6171/june-test-takers-group-br-schedule-updated

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

You can also dial in to the BR call by using your phone.

United States +1 (571) 317-3112

Access Code: 219-480-381

Note:

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able on your own; then join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. Win the argument with your reasoning.

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Free will is not applicable in determining responsibility for all situations (its not a one size fit all equation).

    We hold criminals responsible bc they cause damage out of free will.

    We do not hold drivers (driving while heart attack and cause damage) responsible, even though the heart attack could be prevented from diet (free will).

    A. Itself is not a conclusion

    BC. Not “Should”

    D. Not true

    E. Maybe, saying that we do not apply free will equally to all situations (i.e both criminals and drivers under heart attack both stem from free will but they have different outcome).

    How do I know if I should switch from V1 to V2? More specifically, how different is V2 and how do you know if it would be a better fit for your learning style?

    Thanks :)

    Hey,

    I am starting to get back into my LSAT studying journey after taking a break from it for a while. I have gone thru the foundations portion and completed that. Right now doing LR and then RC.

    Do you think it would be worth it taking the LSAT fundamentals class?

    Has anyone taken the course before?

    Thanks!!

    Hello,

    I really like the platform overall, but wish I could save answer choices in folders. There's some questions I wish to come back to or want to save for specific reasons, but I only have the option of pinning them.

    I would really like a way to save questions in a more specific way so I could have a folder for myself with titles like "need to re-review" or "hardest conditional reasoning."

    I mark questions in a book by hand that I would like to revisit but its really annoying to keep track of it this way, and once I do return to them its annoying to find them in the system using the drilling platform.

    Hi, I noticed in my analytics I was struggling with Math questions. It seems to be a new subject on 7Sage as I noticed the option was added in drills recently. I have tried drilling these, but I haven't noticed any similarities between the questions that could constitute this concept. I was hoping someone could give me insight on what Math questions are.
