So I ran into this workshop series that apparently hosts private workshops with T14 schools across the country every year at different locations. By any chance has anyone come across this website before and/or attended one of their workshops? Are they any different from the LSAC forums? If anyone happens to be in the LA/Silicon Valley or Atlanta area, I hope this can be of use!

Thanks!

Hi,

When I was looking at the answer choices for this question, I noticed that answer choice B states something about "actual legal dilemmas". As a result, I rejected answer choice B because, while I noticed the mention of legal dilemmas in general throughout the passage, I did not see any mention of a single "actual" legal dilemma example. However, when looking at other answer explanations, no one seems to mention this as a reason for rejecting answer choice B. Is my perception of what "_actual_legal dilemma" means correct here or am I just fantasizing? I understand why E is right and why A,C,D are wrong. #help

Thanks!

If anyone else is on a waitlist for their ~dream~ school and isn't ready to give up on the 2020 cycle I want to start a study group for the April 25 LSAT. Willing to do online/in-person study group. Scored in the low 160s and hoping to reach 167. If you're interested let me know! Or if there are already similar study groups like this I would like to join one.

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is foing okay during these difficult times and have all they need (or at least teh capacity to get what they need). I also hope you are practicng social distancing and takign advantage of all the streaming services available!

I have decided to take a gap year to really work hard to get the score I need and want before I apply to law school. I am planning to, ideally, register for the September and/or October LSAT(s). I'll have at least 6 months to study for this exam if I use April-May to go through the core curriculum again while doing online remote learning (with a potential pass/fail transcipt recording) and I will ideally start focusing on timed practice (PTs and sections) starting in June until the end of the summer and/or until I take the exam. I will be able to study full-time during the summer and potentially until I take the exam. I have not done any kind of studying since October of last year and none of the studying I have done in the last 6 months was consistent so it is safe to say I am starting from square 1, with some knwoledge of the lsta and curriculum.

I would like to get some thougths on a few things:

  • Reviewing core curriculum again--how do i get the most out of it?
  • Taking a diagnostic that is not June 2007 (since I already have) but an exam that is close to the rigor of what I would expect on the more recent exams
  • I would like to allot at least 25-30 PTs to take under-timed conditions--- any ideas on the best batch?
  • Foolproofing--when and for how long (this is subjective of course but please share thoughts and experiences). Obviosuly you foolproof games that you do after PTs if you did not go - 0 but outside of that, what is the best and most efficient way to foolproof The Bundle(also subjective but see above;))?
  • how many PTs per week when I start timed practice?
  • The best time to start timed practice (regardless of my timeline)?
  • Who has done a study plan similar to the one I am doing?
  • How to avoid/deal with burnout?
  • Anything else I should keep in mind and/or incorporate?
  • I am a shooting for a 165 or better and have averaged in the high 140s and low 150s in the past (fewer than ten PTs), but that may prove to be irrelevant given my time off. Anything is possible imo so please tell me how you do this--ups and downs and all if you had a similar study plan and were in a similar scoring range.

    Have you ever wondered how admissions officers review applications? What they pick up on, what they notice, and - maybe - what irks them? Then be sure to tune into this week’s episode as we present a recording of a mock admissions committee review. Two prospective law applicants submitted their resumes and personal statements to 7Sage. Three of our admissions consultants then walked through their thought processes when reviewing the documents - the good, the bad, and the “this confused me.”

    Hello! I'm planning to take the LSAT in November for the first time but most likely will not be applying in this application cycle. I'm hopeful that the score I get in November will be strong enough that I will not retake it. Will an older LSAT score count against me in admissions if it is still within the 5 year window? Do law schools prefer a fresh LSAT?

    Can anyone explain how B is justified in supporting this hypothesis? I didn't see any relevance between strategies of defence and the two functions of infrared sensor.

    #help# For this question, I eliminated all 5 answers, because I think none of them are right. The right answer is E, but I doubted it. Since E only said the period of Bruno's tenure is just matching exactly to the period when the spy was transmitting information. There could be many people or clergies working in the French embassy at that time, how can this choice exclude this possible alternative and support the argument???

    I'm waiting to hear back from one law school and recently I just had the attorney general's office decided to join in on a brief that I wrote for a law firm. Is this something that I should update the schools with and let them know? It's a reach school for me. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Anyone is the Charlotte/Matthews area? I’m part of an online study group but would love to meet some people in person if there’s anyone else out there studying for a July/July test. Doesn’t have to be super regular, even once a month or every other week would be nice just to touch base.

    Let me know!

    I'm trying to work now to get my RC score down to the -5 range, and I'm drilling a lot on the passage types im bad at, and most of the hard or hardest passages I'll get 2 or 3 wrong, and on the easier ones, 1 or 2 maybe, if I get a good selection of passages its likely I;ll be in that -6 range. EXCEPT for spotlight passages; something about spotlight passages just doesn't click for me, there's a majority 1 star or 2 star passages where I'll get straight up 4 out of 6 or 7 ACs wrong, and I don't understand why, does anyone have any tips? I'm confident my LR will be at -4/5 for August/Sept LSAT, but if I can't get my RC out of the -7/8 zone I won't be able to get a 165

    Looking for an accountability partner to do 1 RC passage daily. We’ll do it separately and then check answers together. Please message me if you’re seriously interested!

    Pretty much what the title says. My main issue is with LR. I used to be able to score 18/25. Then I hit a couple highs of 20/25 and was very, very happy. A week before, I started getting 16/15/14 out of 25, a pretty big dip. Took the Sept test, then about a week break. Did a section drill yesterday, got a 13/25. Is my brain broken? Was it too much to hope for a linear increase? For reference, I work full time, so MTWRF I study 4 hours daily: I wake up an hour before work to study, the hour of my lunch break, and 2 hours when I get home. The weekends are about 8-10 hour days for me. Is it too much to hope for a 160 by Oct?

    Send Help.

    I have been doing really well on the first 60-65 questions of my practice tests, getting very few wrong, but it is in the last dozen or so questions on the final LR section of the tests where I am getting a majority of my questions wrong. I am aware that the test gradually gets harder throughout the section, but I am unsure why I am struggling so much with this part because I get most of the harder ones right when I drill. Should I be practicing harder drills? If anyone has advice on this problem, let me know.

    When the president of the company responds that the number of salespeople passed over has declined, does that mean the total number of salespeople must have declined over the last fifteen years as well? Is that an additional assumption along with C?
