I was WL by HLS. Really happy!

If anyone has experiences of what it is like to be on wait list for HLS schools, LMK.

Already submitted my LOCI. My favorite professor at Columbia University (got an A+ and worked alot together this year) wants to submit another letter of rec because she did not write one since i was not done with her course during my application period. Even tho HLS generally advises against this, should I do it? Should I call them up to ask or just send in a compelling LOR?

Hello,

I am unable to blind review. When I complete the test and click the blind review option, I review it but I am then unable to view my answers. Does anyone have a video tutorial on how to view the answers- post conducting the blind review?

Thanks

Are you allowed to have colored pens/highlighters during the real proctored exam? I study better when I highlight during my logic games outlines, and I wanted to know if the online proctor would get mad if I brought them out? I don't have any accomodations, and I wanted to know if that would work to bring out colored pens/highlighters for my scrap paper

Hi guys are we supposed to be taking all the practice sets at the end of LR or taking one and saving them to come back to. I did the first two and i was going to finish it but then i read discussion posts saying not to do that.

Has anyone applied, what score got you in, how are scholarships, anyone on campus? What is the culture like?

Could any 7sage administrator or someone tell e where the difficulty would be onthese four games? Especially games 3 and 4 please?

Hello I was wondering what other people have done to improve logical reasoning and reading comphrehension I have been stuck at the same score for a long time and I don't understand what I may be doing wrong anyone have tips for when they got stuck? I am taking the august lsat so no logic games.

Hey everyone,

In CC v1 the PrepTest scheduling was integrated into the Study Schedule Generator. Saw that everything's been moved to the PrepTest tab, is there any way to maintain the PrepTest scheduling with the new Study Scheduler?

Thanks!

I am taking the October Flex and I have a question about the LSAT writing. I took the LSAT last July, when it first became digital and cancelled my score after being able to see it. I have an LSAT writing on record on the lsac website from 7/15/19, which I am able to read. It also gives me an option to "launch lsat writing" for this October test....do I need to do a new lsat writing section or can the one I already have on file be used?

Hey everyone. I am currently going through the core curriculum and have done almost all the weaken problem sets. I cannot seem to remember / apply the tips that J.Y goes through. And even when I get some questions right, I feel that I still cannot explain why one answer is completely wrong and the other is right (I always get it down to two answers and I pretty much pick the wrong one). I usually average 3/5 on the sets. Does anyone have some tips? It would be greatly appreciated :)

We can choose from 4 days for the Oct lsat? (https://www.lsac.org/LSATdates). Are they testing new exams?

I’m not sure when I should write the Lsat? I’m working full time and my aim is 2 hours a day (14 hours a week). I was aiming for April, and I would be able to take two weeks off ahead of the test. Or should I aim for June in which case I could probably take closer to 2 months off?

Or should I write in April, and keep peeping for June while waiting for the result?

Thoughts….

Hello!

Some people state that you should go to admission events to get yourself know to the admissions office. What do I talk about/ do to stand out?

Hi all,

Any advice or strategies people have undertaken when hitting score plateau, specifically for RC or LR? I consistently hit mid 160s when doing PTs but have been stuck there for weeks now. I already have LG pretty much down (average only 1 wrong) but can't seem to improve on the other two sections. I'm signed up for the October exam and would like to improve by around 5+ points. Really appreciate any help!

how did you guys study using the core curriculum/practice tests? did you go through the entire core curriculum as is (ex: doing several of the weaken question problem sets in a row) or did you not do all and go back to them? I'm just confused as to what I would use for drilling after I go through the entire core curriculum in order? (also, the core curriculum is just considered everything before you reach the practice tests correct? or is it everything before diagnostic?)

So I have a question on Problem Set questions, particularly the last two ones. Usually I am on a role and get most to all of the questions right in the sample single questions before the problem sets. Those sample single questions seem to be also numbered at the harder ranges like 10-25 ish. However when it comes ot the problem sets, especially the ones with 5 stars, they seem to be exponentially harder than any of the sample questions before the sets. For an example: in the Necessary Assumption section, I was pretty much able to get most of the questions right in the single questions. Not only that, the questions I got wrong consisted of a minor misreading of the passsage or answer choice. And don't forget that these questions are also in the 10-25 range which I believed would have helped me with the 5 star questions. It turns out that I was wrong. The difficulty in figuring out the correct answer choices even after significant amount of times has been evident. A question 13 from a 5 star question in a problem set seem to be exponentially harder than a question 13 from any of the sample single questions before the problem sets. I have been wondering, where does getting the 5 star questions right rougly place you in the LSAT score ranges compared to 4 star or 3 star?

Can someone provide some insight into why answer choice A is correct. I chose D because I identified the conflicting events/occurences to be the steadily increasing proportion of left-handers in newer generations despite the fact that overall-lefthandeness has remained constant.

The only answer that solved this for me was a decreasing birth rate. If less people are being born then despite there being a greater percentage of left handers in younger generations, for example as the question states 20% among 20 year olds and 10 % among fifty year olds, these greater proportions could still actually be equal to past proportions if the amount of 20 year olds born was smaller than the amount of fifty year olds born due to that decreasing birth rate. So the trend of constant overall and growing proportion in younger generations still works.

What I can see that would make this wrong is that is says a gradually decreasing birth rate, but if we are talking about 80 years, then idk how to gauge what would be considered gradual in that amount of time.

As for answer A, I am not seeing the resolution. I may be too built into my own answer, so anybody else please I would be happy to hear your perspectives.

If anyone has a logic games beginner study group please message me, I’m interested in all perspectives when trying to tackle this.

This week’s episode features 7Sage instructors ZeSean Ali and Nicole Agranonik, fresh off their 1L fall semesters at Columbia Law School and Berkeley Law. They share what law school is really like, what surprised them most during 1L, and the strategies that helped them survive their first semester. Tune in for practical tips and a clearer picture of what all that LSAT work is preparing you for.

Do you guys suggest taking PT while progressively working through the syllabus or after I have covered all the course concepts and lessons?

I am scheduled to take the LSAT Flex next week. I put in an equipment request with LSAC to use one of their surface pros. I tried to take a prep test with it using 7sage's online prep test tool and I found it to be incredibly glitchy. When I tried to find highlight things or select answer choices with my finger, it would zoom in a lot and I had a hard time getting it to zoom back out. I'm wondering if anyone has used the surface during the actual test and had this same issue while inside the actual test?

Hello folks! Hope everything is well during your application cycle.

Just wondering would part time bachelor studies affect our JD admissions?

I only have 5 classes left for my last two semesters and will take part time studies during the last two semesters. This is due to that I have transfer credits from Quebec CEGEP (College).

Anybody familiar with this issue? Would part time studies affect my admission to Canadian law schools?

Thanks and Good luck!

Hey all, I'm feeling a little bit discouraged, and unsure on whether to take the August LSAT. I hit two 165's about a month ago, and was feeling optimistic that I would be able to make a break through either on test day or before the actual date, but my PT's have since gone down (163, and then 161, 161). If I walked out with a 167 or a 168 on test day I'd be happy.... Is it crazy to register for the August LSAT knowing that I have 6 weeks to improve a few points from my best? BR scores fluctuate from 169 to 178, so I know that somewhere in my brain, I do know the material... I also have a track record of performing better under pressure, so I feel that walking out of the test with a personal best, though unlikely, is not entirely out of the question.

I'm hoping to apply this cycle, and I'm trying to strategically pick between the August, October, and November test dates, knowing that I want to give myself the option of taking the test a few times. LG is my best section, and I'm wondering if the weight of the August test should be a factor in my decision.

Any advice or inspiration or solidarity would be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling very down on myself for poor performance these past few weeks, and I really had my heart set on applying this cycle. Do ya'll recommend just resetting expectations for next year to save myself heartache and disappointment? I just turned 25 and am feeling a little existential about being too old to start law school in another two years, and staying in a toxic job for an extra year before starting school.

I am confused on why B is correct. I originally discounted it because it says "only by discovering the chemical composition of the protoplasm... ." I did not think that the passage reflected that this is the only way, but rather that it is an important aspect. Any help is much appreciated!

Could anyone explain why the answer for this question is A instead of E? Should we gave gleaned from the stimulus that the fungi turned the logs to dead and decaying rather than them already being in that state beforehand?
