To anyone else going through Prep Tests chronologically, was this question a bother for you as well? It's about two people arguing over whether or not they should modify their 36 hour training shifts for prospective physicians. The answer, B, does not to me feel like it is the sound logical weakener that the question makes it out to be. B seems to be unrelated to the topic unless you make another assumption that the degree of illness a patient receives is a factor in why a doctor needs to make better medical decisions not generally but all the time. While this logic probably flies in an older LSAT, I feel that newer ones would write this question off. However, I still wanted a second opinion considering God JY hasn't put out explanations for the LR sections in this Prep Test.

If anyone just starting the Core Curriculum and wants a study partner to go over it together, please let me know. I am only looking for serious individuals, thank you.

Hi all, looking for some advice. I hit a wall with LG (Grouping) after nearly two months, I am now focusing on LR instead. Should I formulate a study plan that alternates between two sections every other day or should I solely focus on LR for right now? Any advice on how to study would be extremely helpful.

So I am stuck between what to choose on the various LSAT sections on the questions I don't get to. For example, Dave Killoran from PowerScore says to choose "D" 1-20 on LR when in doubt, and "E" on the last 5. JY says to choose "B" when in doubt on 1-20 and "E" on the last 5 for LR.

Note, JY uses data from PREPTEST 58 (Sept 2009 ) onwards, while Dave uses data from Nov 1991. Which one is more reliable?

Here are the sources for both opinions:

Ive been trying to sign up for the candidate referral service and i'm not sure how...I got the option to sign up when I was registering for the LSAT but I didn't do it. Do any of y'all know how to get to the place to sign up? Also, is it worth it to sign up? Im looking at schools like Notre Dame and Georgetown so idk if it would be worth it to sign up.

A question about early decision - if I apply early decision to a law school and then for various factors I decide I am not going to go to law school at all (very complicated explanation for this but I may end up getting a very lucrative job and not go). What would this mean for me? It cant force me to go to the law school I am assuming.

I am seeing online "that your required to attend that particular school or not go to law school at all that year" from a blog on power score. But just curious if anyone has more insight

I have been reviewing LGs and I am over thinking this I think...

You know how sometimes we split out game boards and make as many inferences at the beginning as we can?

When CAN you use those boards to answer questions, and when can you NOT use them (i.e., you would need to draw a new board)?

I am confused b/c sometimes I split out game boards, and the question reads something like "If J is in 4 then where must H be?", so then I look through my boards and find one where J is in 4 to see where H must go. But then sometimes I get those wrong... Because I did not create a new game board for the question...

Could someone please explain this one? Why it's E, not C?

Thank You 7 Sage Community and to my wonderful 7 Sage study buddies !! I am so blessed to be admitted to UC Hastings Law!! It has been a journey as I was a reapplicant. Never give up and keep on going!

I plan to visit UC Hastings Law as I am a newbie to the Bay.

At this stage, should I consider submitting applications to other UC schools? Amongst UC law schools, I only applied to UC Hastings. My goal is to attend an institution in CA, and in-state tuition would be affordable/plus.

Many thanks and good luck everyone! :)

Hello 7 Sagers. I am a super splitter, who is banking on my essays to seal the deal. That being said, in order to write a strong Why essay for these schools, I would love to get in contact with any current students you all know from the following schools: Stanford, Harvard, UChicago, UC Berkley, UPenn, NYU, Columbia, Yale, Duke, UMich. Thank you in advance. #help

Can someone help me with this question? I don't understand why AC C is correct and why AC D is incorrect

Hi

I am currently located at S. Korea. I have just finished the 7Sage CC. I am looking to go through the PowerScore series, Loophole and Trainer. I am looking for anyone to Zoom with me as we do these together. We do not necessarily have to study the same thing. I believe we can work flexibly and just study whatever we want to. Would anyone be down?

Hi Everyone,

Just starting to study brand new. Anyone interested in becoming my study buddy for accountability? I will be studying from 8:00pm to 1am central time, with 30 min break from 10:45PM to 11:15PM. I'm planning on taking the test in June. However, I can also be flexible. Let's do this together!

I applied to HYSCCN and was rejected 2 times a few years ago. Lsat 171.

My lsat is 5 years old and I find computer-based test much harder, so unsure I can beat it.

I wanted to change career to law from SW engineering, but the rejections were hard.

The opportunity cost of leaving SWE job was worth only for T6.

I'm wondering what other possible degree can provide similar level of intellectual energy as a JD.

Anyone in similar boat?

What did you do?

Hello,

I am going to law school this fall. I applied with a 3.1 and a 154 lsat. Every school I applied to I was below their median gpa. I got into 3 schools where I was at their median lsat, waitlisted at one where I was at their median lsat and waitlisted at another where I was two points below their median lsat.

I retook the lsat and got a 157. I am now at four schools 75th percentile lsat and one point above a schools median lsat (156) but below their 75h percentile (158). I emailed the schools that waitlisted me after my new score and they said that they will send my application back to committee for another review with my new score.

Is it worth retaking the lsat considering I am at four of the schools 75th percentiles in terms of scholarship money or trying to get off of the waitlist?

Also I will be withdrawing from one school that accepted me, but I am in the process of trying to get the two schools that have accepted me to see if they can give me a new scholarship with my new score. One of the schools I got into had their seat deposit on April 1 but they offered to move my seat deposit back to the 8th while they see if they can give me more scholarship money.

Intuitively I chose E, but then crossed it out because the passage did not specifically state what is "good journalistic practice".

Chose B but then understood why it was wrong- I made an assumption about "interesting".

The last couple sentences of the passage say that there are a couple constraints to the method, but then the MP question says nothing about the constraints only about how the method is good? Im confused.

Hi I have a question...there's a school that I am applying to that says I must include any violation of the law EXCEPT those that were expunged and there's another school that says include any violation including those that were expunged.

In 2016 I got a citation for possession of alcohol that was expunged.

If I include an addendum for one school, but not the other, how will this affect me in the long run with the bar and in general with applications? Should I include it with all of my schools? I plan to practice in PA or NJ if possible.

Hey y'all! I am 3 weeks into my LSAT study prep and I'm wondering whether the study schedule or syllabus option is best. I have just been going though the syllabus every day and while its working, I don't know if I should be focusing more on how the study schedule sets up the material. Is it fine to just go through the syllabus or should I abide by the study schedule they generate? I am planning to take the test in 3-6 months.

Hi everyone,

My name is Keith and I am a Zimbabwean living in Johannesburg South Africa. I am currently an Ethics and English teacher and I am trying to study law in the US. I have been referred here and was told that the resources here and the people here are helpful. I am tight on money but would appreciate any resources people may have for me! Also, does anyone know how to register for the lsat in JHB?

Hey guys, when it comes to set the game board do you follow "JY method" or do you make your own game board. I would love to hear you guys' outlook Thank You.

Hey all,

I'm new to the LSAT world and was hoping for some insight on the registration process.

How does the process of registering for the test date work? Once I register and pay do I have the option to withdraw or cancel it?

Do the spots fill up quick or would it be okay to wait later? Do we pick our time to write the test the same time we register or do actual test times come out later?

Thanks in advance!!

I know how to translate rules when there is an indicators present but I am having trouble when there isn't an indicator. I confuse not both with always apart sometimes and it effects my timing.

for example on In/out problem set 2:

fenugreek is not included in the same recipe as nutmeg F(-)/N

Saffron is not included in the same recipe as Turmeric S (-)/T

initially translated these as not both. is it because its an in/out game that they are forever apart

on In/out with sub categories problem set 1 game 1

Gibson and Vega do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

Hsu and young do not serve on the panel in the same year as each other

both are translated as not both rules according to lesson

help please

Is it a good idea to reuse personal statements from previous application cycles? Long story short: I applied during last year's cycle (2020-2021) but decided to work a year and reapply during this cycle (2021-2022). My statement was well-written and even received positive feedback from my colleagues and peers. That being said, should I go through the process of writing a new one or just edit/revise/add to the one from the last cycle? I wanted to confirm that it doesn't put off the admissions reps who may have previously reviewed my application.
