Is anyone having issues with Lawhub today? I know testing is going on right now but it's moving so slowwwwwww and I'm trying to get some last min studying in.

Anyone want to swap personal statements and peer review???

I'm waiting on my second LOR, and I have a few questions.

I am a week into LSAT studying, about halfway through the “Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis Questions” section, and am wondering when I should start seeing close to 5/5 with BR on drills and quizzes? For the most part, I do well on the videos J.Y. goes over with us as part of the curriculum, but am being absolutely wrecked during drills, even with BR. I have months before taking my first official LSAT (June probably), but am curious whether I should be absolutely nailing these sections before moving on any further, or if I should continue through the syllabus as it will all fall together later on. Thanks in advance!

I'm confused why the answer isn't x,y,z. Ik the Falafel truck serves 2 at a time but shouldn't it be able to serve all 3 if we cover all possible scenerios?

I find that I can overwhelm myself, when there is no reason to be overwhelmed, for questions dealing with a lot of different variables. They typically manifest in: studies consisting of numbers/percentages, rising/lowering of levels (usually these appear physiologically), etc.

For instance, I took PT 89 and completely overwhelmed myself on 89.S4.Q23 (strengthening question about turmeric). In BR I was kicking myself because, had I stayed calm, organized and kept track of all the variables...I could have gotten it right!

Do you have a different method of approach for stimuli where you feel there's 'a lot' going on?

I really need help with answer choice A because it seems perfectly fine to me. Is this answer choice incorrect because the argument against internal relations in paragraph 4 stated that "to truly know an entity, we must know all of its relationships?" Is this not the same thing as "defining the entities of which the system is composed?" I thought they were the same thing because if scientists had to define each and every relationship the entities in the system had, wouldn't that mean all entities would have to ultimately be identified and that was why the author had an issue with internal relations? but if I am wrong, I would like to know. And is A supported by the passage even if it is the incorrect answer choice for this particular question?

And this is more of a general question but are organicism and internal relations two separate, but related concepts?

As the title says, I was around -3 on LG when I stopped studying last year and now I'm -10. I would prefer not to go back into the studying materials. Does anyone have any recommendations for filling in that knowledge gap?

Are these admissions tips common knowledge…or shocking revelation?

Jake is an old hand when it comes to dispensing pearls of law school admission wisdom. But Clayton is a relative newbie and was surprised to hear Jake’s answers to often-asked admissions questions.

In this episode, Clayton gets a chance to ask “say what?” about Jake’s admissions best practices.

They touch on vague statement prompts, whether optional really means optional, what’s so baffling about resumes, and much more.

Hey everyone!

In conditional-heavy games, when a question stem introduces a new temporary conditional, I have trouble linking this to the master chain, especially if it's already completed.

Anyone know any good video lessons or resources that could help me out with this?

Thanks!

Hello All,

If I want to create a few LR practice set, how should I break it down according to what the LSAT will be like? How many of each question type should I include?

Thanks.

Hi there, I'm wondering how to best approach taking simulated LSATs for the April exam. There will be 4 sections (LR, RC, LG, and one variable section) so when simulating the exams how should I account for that one variable section? Most 4 section tests on 7Sage have 2 LR sections and on test day there could be 2 LG/RC sections. Any advice would be appreciated!

So I've noticed that the introduction of the reading comprehension portion of the course does a pretty good job of preparing you for scientific readings. They discuss Phenomena, Hypotheses, readjusting a hypothesis following the observation of a new set of phenomena that rests outside the previously discussed hypothesis, etc. etc. The whole approach allows me to follow the chronological order of the scientific process discussed in the passages with confidence.

Do similar discussions exist for the other passage types like Law and Humanities? I am teasing out certain aspects on my own, like arguments and counterarguments often being in the law passages. But it's less direct than with the science passages. Any tips would be super appreciated!

In need of a tutor more specifically for LR & RC. Please reach out to me if you excel at these portions of the exam and may be open to tutoring

Hi. I’m looking for a study group to join the for Feb 2022 test. I’m in CST. I can usually meet anytime between 1pm to 7pm CST.

Hello all,

I'm looking for someone to consistently take on the PTs together.

The goal is 2-3 PTs a week (my current pace).

Kinda bored taking the PTs on my own lol. Let's hold each other accountable!

If interested, dm me :)

About: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/lsat-scoring/about-lsat-score-preview

Basically this is a paid feature that allows first time test takers preview their score before deciding whether or not to cancel/keep it. Personally I think I'm pretty set on not paying for it though it crosses my mind once in a while, especially now that I'm days away from my first exam. In my mind, a lower first score is okay as long as a future retake is an improvement and I don't see why schools would view this negatively either though this is a total guess.

Really curious - has anyone spoken to contacts from any admissions offices about Score Preview / first score cancellation? Are any of you planning to hit up the offer and want to share benefits I might not have considered?

Anyone who has done or is currently doing the admissions course with 7 Sage? if so, what are your experiences? Strengths? Weaknesses? Likes or Dislikes? Comments? I am specifically looking for help on my personal statement provided by the course. I am contemplating purchasing the $200 package with the full course and the one time edit. I would love any type of feedback before I am make my decision!

Hi! I am looking for a dedicated accountability partner or group that is aiming for the 160-170s and plans to take the Sep/Oct/Nov LSAT. I took a diagnostic in May and scored a 143 and I have been studying for about a month since then. Please reach out to me and I would love to get connected and come up with some sort of study plan and accountability check-in. I am also open to meet on zoom or google meet sometimes as well. I am located EST.

I plan to apply to law schools in the fall of 2023. I don't plan to take the LSAT until the summer of 2023, but I've seen a lot of news on the past application cycle and this application cycle having large quantities of high-scoring applicants (thought to be because of the online version of the LSAT). In general, my question is this: Do many people take the LSAT then sit on their score and apply in later cycles? I ask because I wonder if this large quantity of high scorers will affect the difficulty of the 2023 application cycle.

Let's say my goal score is a 171, and on my last two PTs, I scored a 171 both times, the first with a 173 BR and the second with a 177 BR. At what point is it safe to say I'm PTing my goal range? After 3 PTs with that score (or higher)? After 5?

does anyone have an explanation fot this question??

Hi everybody! I wanted to see if anyone around the Tucson area would be interested in studying for the LSAT in June. I would prefer to study in-person; however, I'm fine doing it digitally too. So, if anyone is interested just put a comment below and can create a groupme.

Looking to apply to UOFA and ASU.
