Any idea whether test takers are allowed to use a touch screen laptop & stylus pen for the LSAT Flex? My reading comprehension & overall performance is much better when I can use the pen.

Does anyone go to law forums to connect with AO's? Are they worth it? I'd love to hear from some of the admissions teams at 7Sage with their thoughts on this. I'm considering going to Chicago or New York (or maybe both) and would like some advice on how/whether this can increase my chances of getting into a T14.

Hello everyone! Just curious, but how does everyone approach writing samples? Do you practice writing them out or do you just focus on the multiple choice section of the exam mostly? I was wondering if I should be practicing the writing sample more than I do (which is zero).

Thank you in advance!

Is it just me or does PT B (February 1999) from the SuperPrep series seem more difficult than all other PrepTests? If so do you guys have any ideas on why this is? Maybe I just had a brain fart really struggled with this one haha

Can someone direct me to where the video of the "Letter of Intent" is located on the course syllabus? I thought I bookmarked it but I can't find it. Also if anyone has tips for what should essentially be included I would appreciate it! (Just to be clear this letter is the letter you include in your application for admission into Law school.

Took PT 55 today, set records in LG and LR but my score suffered because of the friggin Maxine Kingston passage. Did anyone else have a hard time with this RC?

help This might be a dumb question.

I get the correct answer (emphasize the degree of unpredictability in S and O model) However, I was hesitant to pick it because I somehow interpreted it to mean that the model itself is unpredictable, not that the ideas in the model are unpredictable. I think it's because I interpreted it to mention degree of unpredictability of the model not in the model. Is there a difference in these 2? How do I differentiate whether they are discusses the model itself or elements of it.

Hey there fellow 7Sagers! Seeking advice on how to make the jump from mid 160s (averaging 164 on PTs) to the low 170s (170-173) in three months. I started off at a 138 and have been studying for about 7 months now. I work full-time and can dedicate about 10-15 hours of studying realistically each week. I definitely think it's possible but wanted to hear if anyone made the jump in a similar timeline or anyone has any study plan ideas.

Hi,

I understand why C is right, but what I have trouble understanding is why D is wrong.

I mean, in terms of D, couldn't it be argued that Politician P is "appealing to wholly irrelevant issues" by talking about taxpayers' happiness to distract from the real issue of whether or not there is an obligation to raise taxes?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Im trying to isolate why i found this section so hard. Anyone else have a hard time w it?

George Mason offered me an invitation to participate in the Pre-Admission Summer Trial (PAST) program that selects 10-15 students to complete 2-week intensive program consisting of reviewing a casebook, writing assignments, and completing a final exam. GM is the only school I am applying, so I am definitely excited to be selected. However, only a small percentage of students completing the PAST Program get offered admission and the remaining students are put on the top of the wait list.

I will receive the course material a week before the program starts, but I want to maximize my time until then to prepare. Currently, I am reading "Getting to Maybe" which covers how to properly attack law school exams. Does anybody have any other suggestions on materials I can prep with? Thanks!

I've been finishing up each LR section with usually 5-8 min to go back and review in real time. At that point, I'm reviewing the questions I've been stumped on within a real time frame. So when I go to finish the PT and it tells me to go back and look at those questions again - I don't really see the point? PLUS sometimes the BR is for qs I got right so that's just a mind warp. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Hi everyone. I'll be taking the LSAT Flex for the first time in a few days. I've read on here that proctors will interrupt if they cannot see your face in the camera. Are we able to see ourselves on our screens? How can I make sure my face is visible at all times? I'd like to avoid being interrupted. Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I really need advice on applying to law schools. I attended the University of Michigan for undergraduate and got As and Bs. I think with a good LSAT score I can probably get into a decent school. My problem is that I struggled my junior year with extreme anxiety. It carried over to my senior year and I was even hospitalized for it. For this reason, I was panicked to attend office hours/class and never established a relationship with any of my professors. The idea of one-on-one time would panic me. Now, In hindsight I understand how much I put myself at a disadvantage. What should I do about recommendation letters? I fear that my lack of possible recommendation will outweigh any of my academic achievements or LSAT scores. I graduated in May 2019 and plan to apply this upcoming admissions cycle (if I can take the LSAT) in time. I’m looking for any and all advice. I just want to know what my options are and how I can optimize my situation to ensure the strongest application for myself. Please help and advise. Thanks!

Is anyone taking the February 2017 LSAT and looking for a study partner? I am looking for a study partner in the DC Metro and Northern VA area. I prefer to meet in person but am flexible with meeting online/phone when necessary. I am using the 7Sage Ultimate Course and am looking for someone to study, take tests with, and just a mutually supportive partner(ship). I live in the Arlington VA area

To anyone who’s interested, I’m streaming my study sessions live. Come “join” me in our quest for the mythical 180 :)

As of now, I’ll be on until about 6:30 pm EST

Hey guys, so my LR score finally has been improved (well sort of), I have been doing some times LR sections from prep tests 1-15 and I usually spend about an hour or an hour and a half on each LR section, I've been scoring either 14/26 or 16/26.

In general, for each question type I am not consistent in my scoring (for example, the test could have 3 or 4 Resolve Reconcile Explain questions and I'll get 1 or 2 right and the rest wrong). Another example, for MC questions if there is a sub conclusion and I noticed that LR timed sections have these, I won't be able to figure out which is the exact main conclusion (see question 4 on prep test 15 as an example).

There is no one question type I am good at, but I notice that the harder the level of difficulty the more likely I get it wrong.

How can I improve my score to at least a 20 and should I be doing timed sections? I am not really sure what to do next.

Oh and if anyone PLEASE has or knows of any resources that can help me improve on Weakening, Flaw and Necessary Assumption Questions that would be great because they are my biggest nightmare.

Thanks! :)

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the answer is B instead of C? Why exactly is C wrong?

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student with an LLB (equivalent to a JD) from another jurisdiction, and I also hold an LL.M. from a U.S. university. Despite that background, I’ve decided to pursue a JD, and I’m currently preparing for the LSAT with the goal of applying to T14 schools.

Although I studied law in English and use it fluently in both academic and professional settings (I’ve worked at U.S. law firms and I’m currently interning at an appellate court), I find the Reading Comprehension section to be the most difficult. The challenge is not understanding the text—I can follow the passages—but rather the time pressure, which is already extremely limited on the LSAT and feels even tighter for me.

My question is: How do admissions officers typically view LSAT scores from applicants whose first language is not English? Do they take this context into account, or are scores evaluated in the same way as those of native speakers?

Also, if anyone knows of statistics regarding international applicants and LSAT performance, or has other beneficial information for candidates in a similar position, I’d be very grateful if you could share.

Thanks in advance!

I just got my LSAT score. My UGPA is between Harvard's 25/50 and my LSAT score was 170. Now I'm very worried about my chances at Harvard. If I were American, I would be an AA male. But since I am not American I don't know how much of a boost I'll get. My goal is patent law and I am in the last year of a Stem PhD. Should I prep for September or should I take my chances with 170? Oh men. The curve was -11. Why couldn't it be -13?

I took the lsat in June and am taking it again in October. Should I still take a diagnostic or go off my June score?

I've created 2 new listicles for you this week.

Reactions Everyone Has to LSAT Logical Reasoning https://classic.7sage.com/reactions-everyone-has-to-lsat-logical-reasoning/

Hi all,

What are some recurring topics you've noticed in LSAT reading comprehension? Some I've noticed are: evolution and natural selection, Ronald Dworkin, African American/indigenous/Asian American rights, impressionist artists, and subjectivism vs. objectivism. Wouldn't hurt to familiarize myself with these recurring topics (i.e., you've seen on 2+ Reading Comprehension passages). Any more (I'm sure there are many?)

I took the July Flex after 3 months of everyday studying for the LSAT through a different prepcourse. I am wondering how to approach using 7sage to improve my score for a retake, the amount of content is a little overwhelming.

I've read in various discussions about getting back to the basics, or mastering the fundamentals, before PTing. Can somebody please elaborate what this meant for them during this process? For instance, does this entail mastering all the drills and going -0 after BRing the practice sets? I took the LSAT this past February after completing the curriculum and did not perform well. I am planning on taking the test in October or December and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly this time around. I thoroughly went through the curriculum for 4 months, but only left myself 2 months for practice tests which felt rushed. Thanks for any advice!
