Can somebody, who has taken the LSAT flex, comment on the differences between the LSAT flex and the normal full length LSAT. Is the experience better with the flex? And is your score considered just as credible by colleges as the traditional LSAT?

Can anyone help me out with this one? I ended up getting it right by process of elimination but I'm having trouble figuring out how to write it in conditional logic.

Thanks!

Hey! Random question, but do you need to update schools about employment changes after you've submitted your application? I know you have to update them on any character and fitness changes, but I am not sure about employment changes. Tbh I hate my job and want to quit, but I don't want to look bad to law schools by doing so (especially because it's at a law firm). TIA!

Hi guys I would appreciate it if someone could review my reasoning for this question and let me know if this is correct. When BRing I realized that I made a mistake and chose A rather than E which is correct.

Basically if negated, A says something along the lines of less than 51% of those people who abandon the use of chemical fertilizers will periodically grow alfalfa. Now this may be tempting but it doesn`t really do much, our argument doesn`t say that every person needs to make this switch, just that in order to improve the soil structure we need to ditch chemical fertilizers and begin growing green manure crops.

E is a much better answer because it tells us that we can`t use chemical fertilizers AND grown green manure crops, so we have to ditch chemical fertilizers as stated in the argument

When negated it sounds somewhat like, some farmers in the region will grow green manure even if they do not abandon the use of chemical fertilizers, suggesting that we do not need to ditch the fertilizers in order to grow green manure, and ruining our argument.

I also struggled a little with answer choice D, but here`s my reasoning

I think its incorrect because when negated it just says chemical fertilizers themselves do not have a destructive effect on soil, this can be true because the argument is assuming that its the switch from green manure to chemicals that has deteriorated the soil structure, it doesn`t need to be that the chemicals themselves are destructive.

Let me know what you think!

While I have managed to reduce greatly my incorrect ACs in RC, it is still my poorest section. So far, my approach to studying for this section has been incredibly random. I have usually only found that repetition and completing many reading comprehension sections was the best remedy to improvement. If anyone has found a helpful approach to practicing and analyzing RC questions, please let me know!

So it's been awhile since I have graduated from my undergrad. My university did not have the standard 4.0 grading system and all the courses were to be graded with credit/no credit. I am trying to use Law School Predictor on 7Sage, but without knowing my numeric GPA, I am having a difficult time selecting my options. Could someone help?

Hello! I’m sitting for the November LSAT and currently working to finish Fool Proofing LGs from PTs 1-35.

Would it be the best use of my time to continue on this trajectory (mixed in with full PTs, of course) or would it be more astute to FP the LGs from the later PTs (50s-80s) that I am working on?

Thank you for your time and input!

P.S. I am also planning to sit for the January test.

Looking for someone to BR with for the May 2020 Flex Sample LSAC recently released on lawhub. Thinking of taking it either this Saturday or Sunday and BRing shortly after. Average PT hovering around169/170 with RC being my worst section and LG my best.

Hi! I'm revisiting the LR work and I feel like I've just learned so many things and there are so many things to keep in mind that I've getting a little bogged down. Does anyone have any helpful tips on how the transferred the material they learned in the course content into memory, and then into application for timed sections? I'd really appreciate it!!

*To clarify, I have all the notes and study materials, but I'm having trouble utilizing it efficiently and memorizing all the considerations.

Hey 7Sage friends, i took pre-test 68 and scored very differently on the two LR sections. i am a bit perplexed by the discrepancy. How does one get 85% aka 22/26 on the first section of LR on a preptest and then get 56% aka14/25 on the second section of LR on the same preptest? I did both of them timed during a full practice test and THEN redid both sections, timed as well, and got the same score on a different day. I redid them to make sure that the second sections failure wasn't an accident. The difficulty level of the second LR section is clearly much more difficult for me. I would say 85% on the first section is a great outcome but the second section killed my score overall. any tips or explanations for the difference in difficulty? So i need to go back to fundamentals? do preptests usually have one section of the LR that is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult in comparison to the other? thanks in advance

Hey 7sage hive mind! I just finished the Strengthening Section of the CC and I struggled more than I have with any of the other question types thus far. For a lot of people it seems like after going through weakening, strengthening feels easy. I'm having the opposite issue... my entire weakening section went really well, but once I got into middle difficulty level, to harder questions on strengthening I feel like my accuracy plummeted. I'm hesitant to move on in the CC until I really understand this question type. Does any one have any thoughts as to why someone could excel with weakening but struggle with strengthening? I even tried negating answer choices to try and weaken the argument but I feel like it doesn't work for every question.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I was hoping someone could explain to me their study process once you finish the curriculum and take PTs. I've taken 10 PTs so far, and I am seeing trends of things I need to work on... should I be going back to core curriculum and other resources or should I keep taking tests? What if I fall behind in the schedule that 7Sage sets up? I am supposed to take two PTs a week up until August. Any help or recommendations are appreciated!

I am having trouble deciphering between answer choices especially determining if an answer choice is too strong or too weak, Any suggestions on how I can improve?

Tips and Pointers

Good Afternoon,

As I am starting my Reading Comprehension Curriculum, I would like to see if you guys have any tips or have any advice ASIDE from what JY explains at the beginning of the section. Feel like it could be super beneficial to hear from someone who has made it through this section and explain what worked best for them.

Hi all,

For LR, does anyone have any tips on how to flag questions to go back to during time? I usually finish my first sweep of the questions w/ 10 to 12 minutes on the clock, flagging questions along the way. However, when I finish BR, there's always a few questions that I got wrong and didn't go back to (either in time or in BR). It seems like a case of not knowing what I don't know. I also worry that I'm wasting time on some of the questions that I flag but ultimately got right on my first pass through.
