How many of the study sets do y'all do before moving on to the next topic? I realized I should probably hold off some to come back to so I can study with them later. I'm at the point where if I get a consistent 5/5 on timed and BR I move on, but looking for feedback and any recommendations from y'all! LMK good luck studying

I have seen so many different answers on this, so I'm just hoping to hear some different experiences:

For those of you who (like me) went to community college before transferring and had one (or two) really bad semesters that have cratered your LSAC GPA, have you tried academic renewal with your community college?

I have a meeting with a counselor at my community college on Thursday to discuss my options. It's ridiculous because I literally left that school over ten years ago, but that's just the way it is, I suppose.

Anything to share?

For those of you who are planning to take the exam this year and/or applying to law school this year, here's some niche fb study groups.

For those working full time: https://www.facebook.com/groups/953107761786529

Not affiliated with any of these groups, I just thought it would be helpful for those looking for specific types of support/community/accountability. Wishing you all the best of luck.

P.S If anyone identifies as Latina, feel free to message me! Would love to hear how your studies are going!

I like to write in the margins for RC passages and I'm struggling with how to fully grasp a passage on the online flex test. How have people been using the 3 highlighters and/or writing notes?

Thank you

I’m taking PT, don’t score some of them, leaving for blind review. As of now, I have for br PT 54 (RC), 55, 56(LR), 54(LR), 61(LR), and going up. Please let me know if you are interested br one of these PT any time soon

I struggle with reading answering all the questions within the 35 minute time frame. Anyone have any advice on this?

Hi,

Anyone have recommendations for tutors that specialize in working with students w ADHD?

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

My top choice for law school is Boston College as it is the only school in Massachusetts that offers a dual JD/MSW program. My undergraduate GPA is above their 75th percentile but I am currently PTing under their 25th percentile LSAT. I was wondering about if I should write an LSAT addendum. Should I write one only if I score below their 25th percentile or below their median? And what would be considered good reasons for why my LSAT doesn't reflect how I will preform in law school? Like I said my undergrad GPA was a 3.83 in a philosophy major that required a lot of difficult reading and writing. I've been studying since the beginning of the summer but timing is a big issue (which I am getting accommodations for due to disability). I didn't take a lot of tests in college which I think is also why it's hard for me. Plus the whole studying during a pandemic when I am out of work and anxiety is high. Any thoughts??

Anyone working on this PT and want to BR with me?

I'm doing the flex version, timed. I typically get -0 on LG so not really looking to BR there, but if you want to I can.

My last PTs are around 170. Booked for June test, my first (and hopefully only).

Hi. I need help with something. I know how embedded conditionals work. For example

A---> (B---->C) then it becomes A and B ----->C

But what happens if its (A--->B) unless C

Negating sufficient, does it become (B/----->A/)----->C. Or conversely, C/------>(A----->B)

And then does it become C/ and A---->B. Its a question from PT 74 S2 Q24. Its really tripping me up

I am looking for a study buddy to study for the November test if you are interested please let me know. Only serious people need to reply. Thank You.

Does anyone know where you can practice translating for English to logic for inference questions. For example a bunch of question stems for practice and we translate them to logic.

Anyone in Seoul looking for study buddies? Please feel free to leave a comment/msg if interested! I live in Gangnam and I am planning to take the June 2020 test.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the explanations for the right/wrong answers on these weakening questions don't contradict one another.

PT 86 S1 Q14

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-86-section-1-question-14/

PT29 S1 Q16

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-29-section-1-question-16/

In Q14, JY says (C) is incorrect because we don't know whether bats are included in the "most." Whether or not they are included establishes the relevance of this "most" claim -- you have to be included in the "most" otherwise we don't care. With this in mind, I initially eliminated answer (B) while doing Q16. But JY says (B) is the correct answer for Q16 because since some languages lack words for parts of their environment, it isn't surprising that Proto-Indo-European have no word for "sea." They could have still lived by the sea, making the premise less relevant. I'm confused for two reasons. First, we don't know if the Proto-Indo-European speakers are included in the "some," if they aren't included in this group then this claim becomes irrelevant. Second, the reason (B) is correct on Q16 seems in-line with the thought process I used when incorrectly picking (C) for Q14: if most animals normally rarely bite, then it isn't surprising that bats rarely bite. Rabid bats could still bite, making this premise less relevant. I can see why (B) is the best answer for Q16, but now I'm confused about why (C) is wrong for Q14. What am I missing?

Hi Guys, I postponed my test to Jan. Would like to find some study partners to join for some LSAT LR hard questions and detailed reading for hard RC passages.

Drilled all the 1-35, just started to drill 36 above. Please let me know if your pace is similar to me.

Aim for 168 in Jan. Now is at late 155-160.

Hello! I'm looking to form a small study group for the Nov. test. I'm currently PT-ing in the 165 range (BR 176-178) and aiming to get to 171-173. Currently, I'm averaging -3/4 for LR (aiming to get down to -1/2) and -4/5 for RC (aiming to get it down to -3/4. For LG, I'm struggling with time and not getting to the last game (working on it! :) )

I'd love to create a group with people with similar stats. It would be great to sync up on practice tests. I've done PT 60-72, so study buddies around low 70s PTs would be amazing! Trying the cadence of 3/week at least and regularly meeting to review PTs at that similar cadence.

Things I'm personally working on:

Other deets:

Feel free to send me a direct message with your situation and we can see if it is a good fit both ways!!

Hello, I am currently doing untimed practice sections for LR and I am finishing sections in 75 minutes and getting around -4- to -7. Should I be reviewing the strategies more, drilling specific questions type or keep on practicing with individual sections until I get my time down? I have read the Loophole book and it definitely simplified LR for me.

Hi there,

I wrote the August LSAT and scored a 149, so I have registered to take the November LSAT. I studied this summer with PowerScore books and Khan academy, but really enjoyed the 7Sage LR videos that are on YouTube- which made me decide to join 7Sage for access to the Logic Games videos in particular. I was PTing in the high 150s before I took the test, so getting a 149 was a bit of a shock.

My excuse/disclaimer is that I am currently on parental leave and home with a now 4-month old baby, so studying has been tricky. I'm excellent at managing my time during his naps and after both my kids are in bed, but I am well aware there is a lot of ground to cover in the 7sage curriculum and I won't have enough time.

My question is, in this situation- how would you suggest focussing my time? I struggle most with Logic Games, though I'm obviously not nailing LR or RC either.

I can commit at least 20 hours a week (approx. 3-4 hrs a day, 6 days), give or take.

Thanks for the advice!

I've never self-studied before, and I'm struggling with pacing myself. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on:

I realize that everyone learns differently, but any tips or ideas on pacing would be deeply appreciated!

I'm confused as to why we ruled out spent fuel rods on the basis that they never contain "significant" quantities of tellurium isotopes? In the first sentence of the stimulus, it just states that they found "radioactive isotopes of iodine, tellurium, and cesium" which doesn't mention the quantity so I'm confused as to why J.Y rules out fuel rods for that reason? There could be SOME tellurium, just not significant amount.

Or anyone that has finished the CC!

I would love like a study buddy and we over PT's specifically sections of LR and RC!

I find that hearing other people's train of thought and explaining my own reasoning helps me.

If anyone interested LMK!

I recently finished the core curriculum and have only taken 4 PTs. My average score is 151 and my goal is 165+.

I would like a study partner — in a similar scoring range or higher — to review PTs with, specifically LR and RC sections. I want to meet once or twice a week, to keep each other accountable and motivated. I live in the EST zone.

I’m a driven non-traditional law school applicant. For my prep, I’m incorporating 7sage with the Loophole & Manhattan Prep Drills.

If you have similar goals, please reach out so we can get started! Thanks!

I didn’t see this information on any of the forums I’d scoured before my FLEX exam yesterday so I thought I’d share my misfortune in hopes someone else can avoid my fate.

If you have a Surface Pro with a detachable keyboard you’ll lose all keyboard functionality once ProctorU takes over your computer. I found this out the hard way when none of my highlight or underline tools worked during RC. You can use your finger, but you have to uncheck the tool before you scroll the screen with your finger otherwise it’ll highlight the entire passage.

Cost me 15 mins trying to get the proctor to pause my exam while we figured out the problem. Either plan on not highlighting/underlining anything, or borrow a different computer.

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can practice doing 3 sections digitally on 7sage?

I know Powerscore sells their LSAT flex preptest at $7.50 each but I thought I'd ask here first since I have access to all the PTs here.
