I'm interesting in either forming or joining (preferably the latter) a study group for people who are both trying to get as high a score as possible and located in the Orange County, CA area. My target score is 175 and I've most recently tested in the 168-172 range. I'm planning on taking the Sept and Dec tests. I've been enrolled in the ultimate course for roughly 9 months and cancelled last December's test. Let me know if you are interested!

Hi all! Hope you're having all having a good day.

I was wondering if you could share your tips on getting better at RC. I used to have consistent -6 and started moving downwards to -10 and now scored -14 on PT 65. I was pretty confident with reading when I started LSAT but now I am a bit short on time and really concerned about getting more than half of the questions wrong.

I do timed PT then read all the passages again during BR to come up with a better LR, HR. And clearly it seems like it's not working and I'd greatly appreciate any help. :)

Did 7sage somehow update or change their "Preptest Sections to show" part of their drilling mode? I'm so confused. For a long time the sections were divided into four drilling modes: "Core curriculum" and then three other sections of prep tests. Now it has four sections different from before: "Recommended for PTs", "Used in Core Curriculum", "Recommended for PTs", and "All Prep Tests (101-158)". I was keeping track of my progress and what I had gotten done the way it was previously set up. I was working my way through all of the core curriculum drills. Now, some of these drills are either all gone or have a bunch new added. This is kind of annoying? It's all differently organized now and I can no longer tell which levels of difficulty from which section (RC or LR) I've completed. Did I press something to make it appear this way or is this a new update that will permanently stay?

Hello all! I'm looking for a study buddy/accountability buddy. I wrote my first diagnostic test two years ago before I started work full time and never really looked at lsat until around April of this year. I've done a few more tests and am scoring around 161 but am aiming for 170+. I'm writing my LSAT in October and am located in Alberta!

Looking for people to study with, keeping each other accountable. My schedule is a bit more limited as I am still working full time (so evenings + weekends).

Please let me know if you'd be interested :)

Is the percentile you rank in different for every test you take ? Meaning if I get a 149 on one lsat which tells me I’m in the 39th percentile then I get a 149 on another lsat will my percentile differ ?

Do law schools look at percentiles ?

If you've taken the sample on LawHub, how did LG go? I found games 3 and 4 were a bit difficult -- were there any splits/SBGs that I may have missed or did you just plow through using rules? Any recommendations on games similar to game 3?

Hey guys! Hope you are safe and healthy.

I am waitlisted at a T3 school. I have scoured archived Reddit posts, Spivey’s site, 7Sage, and countless blogs. I am basically trying to get a sense from individuals who have been in a similar situation and come out successfully of what you did to better your odds.

I know the basics of sending a tailored, to-the-point LOCI. However, on other things like phone calls I am less clear. I know that with phone contact less is more, however given that visits are unavailable it seems making at least one phone call attempt may be a good idea (and this school seems okay with that, based on their available waitlist information).

I am also considering an additional letter of recommendation as well as an LSAT retake. I know there are numerous things one can do, but I just wanted a general sense of someone’s “playbook.”

Also, please let me know the nature of the correspondence, when you were waitlisted, and when you were finally accepted. Thanks!

Hello,

So for the first time I broke through into the 160s range with a 162 in Blind Review but my actual score was a 153 (155 on average). Is this a good sign and how do I go about closing the gap and reaching a 162 on my actual test? My test is in January and I would like to get as close to my BR score as possible. For BR I had 4 wrong in LR, 6 in RC and 7 in LG (this was surprisingly bad but I was dealing with test 68 game 4, which is considered to be one of the hardest games ever and thus didn't make any improvements in my BR)

Its an issue of accuracy with my timing and I don't know how or if I can close the gap. Thank you 7sage community

Is it just me or PT1-20 RC are all over the place? I hold a study average of -5 on 60+ but start bombing on 1990's PT. 4th attempt any now my confidence is all over the place.

Hi guys, September test date approaching and getting extremely anxious. This is first time I'm taking LSAT, I need a 160. I've been PTing and my lowest 2 were 157 & 159, then mostly 160-161. For those that have taken it, have you found that PT genuinely reflect the real score? Or does your real score turn out higher or lower than what you were normally expecting?

Is anyone else applying for Harvard's JDP who wants to be in a groupchat?

Hello, 7Sagers!

I'm a bit puzzled with this NA question and wanted to get your input on the matter.

This question states that medical schools are teaching curative medicine and preventative medicine at a 10:1 ratio respectively. It goes on to state that despite this, the use of preventative techniques lowers medical costs significantly.

The claim is that if medical school's have the goal of making medicine lower in cost, they aren't spending enough time teaching preventative medicine.

The correct necessary assumption is purportedly that the amount of time needed to teach preventative medicine thoroughly is greater than one hour for every ten currently being spent on the curative counterparts.

Now, a negation test should confirm this answer, but from my perspective, it does not. Negating the statement results in the time to teach preventative medicine thoroughly being equal or less than one hour for every 10 spent on curative. Now, I assume that at this point the LSAT wants you to assume that because the ratio now favors preventative being taught thoroughly, the argument falls apart because they're no longer spending insufficient time.

But who's to say that the ratio of time spent has anything to do with the actual time spent? The argument has to do with the actual time spent. In fact, we could only be sure that there isn't an insufficiency if we know for sure that the med schools are meeting or exceeding the total amount of hours needed for thorough teaching of curative medicine.

So what if we have a 10:Less-Than-One thoroughness need ratio ? Maybe the schools are teaching 1000 hours of Curative and 100 hours of Preventative, when students actually need 10,000 hours of Curative and 200 hours of Preventative to be thoroughly taught each respectively. (This would give us a 50:1 ratio of time needed for curative vs preventative thoroughness, congruent with the negation of the right answer, but still leaving the argument perfectly in tact.)

If the argument can easily be correct without the designated answer being negated, why can we call it a necessary assumption for the argument? The argument can be just fine without it being true.

Hey y'all, having a bit of trouble with inputting majors into the active applications' sections on education. I am double majoring; both majors are unique to my undergraduate institution. One is an honors interdisciplinary major that I expanded on briefly in my resume. The other one is akin to Human Resources Management or Corporate Psychology (people in this major often go into consulting). The application has a dropdown menu for major and I was wondering if I should put "management science" down because it is close to my business-y major. There's also a space to fill in "Other Major" and I was going to put my honors interdisciplinary major there. I can't tell if the Other Major section is meant for a major that isn't on the dropdown menu or for a second major, and I am lost on how to proceed.

Pls message me if your time zone is in Asia & your range for pts is 168-175.

Hey 7Sagers!

My name is Jake Baska and I'm one of the admissions consultants here at 7Sage. Just FYI that I'll be doing an AMA tomorrow on the Law School Admissions sub-Reddit over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/new/. It'll be from 11AM - 1PM Eastern. Come on by, ask a few questions, maybe give my ridiculous gif-game a kind upvote, etc.

Hello,

I am currently looking for a tutor for my January LSAT. I had one for the October LSAT, who was great. I just want to try out new tutoring styles to see if one will click. I reached out a few from the list of tutors on 7sage, but only one responded, leading me to believe not all are currently active. If you have any suggestions of a good tutor (esp for an ESL student scoring in the 150’s), please comment below!

Thank you in advance!

Hi All,

I have wanted to go to Law School for a long time. I currently live in NE Indiana and I can’t quit my job because I need it, obviously. I don’t really want to leave my family here in Indiana either, we are really close and leaving does not appeal to me. Dayton’s online program really intrigues me because of cost, proximity, etc. I want to practice in here in Indiana and live here. Would you all recommend going here for my long term goals? Want to be in public interest or patent law or become part of the counsel for the company I currently work for.

So I have an online program from Power Score, and one from 7 Sage...I've mostly been focusing on 7sage, but did some drilling from the Power Score workbooks today on weaken questions, and I bombed the question set. I only drilled weaken games, and got -10 (out of a total 30 questions). I looked at which prep tests the questions were from, and it was tests 19-29... are the questions different from those tests? They definitely read weirder.

I'm a bit worried because weakening questions are my strongest question types in LR, and I'm kinda freaked out I did that poorly.

Thoughts?

Has anyone written the proctor u lsat with accommodations? I'm wondering how it works.

Hi! Does anyone have any notes on a google doc or word document they are willing to share? My computer crashed and my notes were lost :(

Over my last 3 PTs (37, 38, 89), I have scored a 158, 174, and 158 again.

Has anyone experienced similarly large differences in scores between PTs?

If so, have you found the cause to be more of a knowledge gap or more from other factors (tiredness, mood, etc)?

Would you happen to know that if I have a hold on my account from a school that I didn't receive any credit from - can I just report that on the LSAC website that I have a financial obligation ?

All else being equal, what #s are the "best" PTs to be taking as you head into test day? I've been taking PTs from all over and would like to know if there are any that I should be focusing before November.
