I've been studying for about 5 months and am taking the August LSAT. I've gone from a 156 diagnostic to solid mid-160 PTs using Mike Kim's LSAT Trainer in tandem with 7Sage explanation videos and analytics.

I recently got two scores of 168, was feeling really close to reaching my goal of 170+, but on the last two PTs I missed a lot on LR and fell back down to 165 and 163, respectively. I'm especially nervous because I had no idea that I was bombing LR and actually felt pretty confident.

Any tips for sharpening my LR in this last month push?

(I have a full-time job and am currently devoting 10-15 hours a week to studying; an expensive tutor isn't an option)

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I wonder if anyone can direct me to find the link to "get acquainted with lsat writing"? I remember reading about this tool in preparation for June's LSAT and today finally decide to try it out but could not find the link anymore. Did they take it down because the real writing session had begun? Or am I looking at the wrong places? A link would be highly appreciated.

Btw I heard this writing is not really important - is that correct? I kinda wanna just do the writing before the multiple choice test so I don't have to think about it anymore but definitely have not had a lot of practice...

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am currently studying existential quantifiers and although I understand the concept of existential quantifiers, I find it difficult to apply the concept to MBF questions. I've only done a couple of MBF questions with existential quantifiers, but was wondering whether you need to use existential quantifiers for each MBF question? Also, what types of logical reasoning questions require us to use existential quantifiers?

If possible, can someone please reference some questions that require us to utilize existential quantifiers? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance :).

Hi 7Sage Community,

I would love to get some advice on how to study once you have run out of practice tests. I have been studying for about a year and have 3 clean PTs left. I am taking the June exam, but also am planning to take the August exam (just to be safe). Does anyone have advice on when to use those clean PTs and how to utilize old PTs effectively? Thank you!

Is anyone currently using Powerscore? I need access to the recording for the Revisited Crystal Mini Ball for June 2023 and was wondering if someone could please share that. Thank you.

Hi everyone!

Was curious to know if anyone has tried the fool proofing method for LR/RC and their results. If people have tried it, have you see a significant improvement in your LR/RC score?

Hi Everyone!

I am looking for someone to take 1 PT per week and review together via Zoom until the August LSAT. Ideally I would love to review on a weekday or Sunday evening (after 5:30pm EST). For reference, I am aiming for a 168-170, and am specifically trying to improve my speed in Logic Games.

Let me know if you are interested! (:

If drilling takes over the problem sets, (aside from few of the most recent PTs) I will not be able to take all 4 sections of any PT without some questions being spoiled, assuming I've done all drills. Therefore, if I took all 4 sections of PTs, my score would be inflated. On the other hand, if I took the 'simulated modern' version, PT 45 and onward would not be spoiled and my score would not be boosted, giving me a more realistic score. But I have heard it is good practice to take all 4 sections. So what should I do then?

How come when looking online at certain LSAT prep websites, some sites appear to incorrectly state that there are 5 sections on the LSAT including 2 logical reasoning sections and 1 unscored section? I thought that even the old version of the LSAT only had 4 sections as well, but the difference was that the double section was predetermined to be logical reasoning and now the double section differs depending on the test you take. I’ve never heard of there being an LSAT with 4 scored sections and 1 unscored… This fifth section is also not listed as the writing prompt as that is listed separately from the unscored section on these sites.

I am performing pretty well when I take the sections individually, but I am not doing so great when I take the entire PTs. I find it that I get 2-3 (sometimes even 5) more wrong per section when I take the entire PTs. If anyone had similar experience, how did you overcome this? What helped you the most?

In case it helps, for the past month or so, I have been doing and reviewing at least 3 sections everyday (not necessarily from same PTs though). If I don't have time to do a full section, I would do at least 1 full LR and 2 games and 2 passages. This approach has been helpful, so I get used to "switching" modes.

Hey, fellow law school applicants!

I'm currently in the process of preparing my law school applications, and I have a question regarding submitting multiple letters of recommendation. I have two professors who have graciously agreed to write me specific letters of recommendation for my top school choices. Additionally, they are also willing to write a more generic letter that I can use for all other schools I'm applying to. However, I'm a bit confused about the logistics of submitting multiple letters. I was hoping to get some advice from those who have been through a similar situation. Is it possible for them to submit multiple letters? If so, how should we go about submitting them to assure they don't get mixed up since I will be waiving my right to view the letters?

Thanks in advance!

For each drill question, it shows a "curve" for the likelyhood of someone with that score getting the question right. But im feeling a bit confused on what that exactly means. So if the black bar is at "135" for example, it means that someone with a 135 was likely to get that question right?

come watch me pls

Hi all!

As the title suggests, I'm rather new to LSAT studying and just purchased 7Sage (grinded a little through PS bibles until I felt I wasn't understanding them very well). I've taken a diagnostic in Dec 2021, studied on and off until my real LSAT in April. I got a sadly lower score than I anticipated, but it encouraged me to invest in 7Sage and study differently.

With that being said, I just took another timed PT and scored a better one with still some big areas for improvement. I've already done the blind review.

What's the next step from here? Do I look for 7Sage content that tackles the topics I got wrong or go through question-by-question to work through each problem again? What has been most beneficial to you all when starting out? I want to be as effective and efficient with my time as possible as my tentative goal is to take the LSAT again in October.

I'll post my scores if it'll provide context :) (As an FYI, I haven't completely "learned" LG or RC yet and have spent the majority of my time thus far in LR.)

Thanks and good hunting to all!

Clayton, a current law school applicant, chats with law school admissions expert and mastermind Jacob Baska to learn the answers to pressing admissions questions.

They delve into:

1. the importance of adding an “interests” section to your resume,

2. focusing on applying to schools in locations you’d like to live in,

3. whether it matters if you apply in January or March for regular admissions,

4. and how to create a comprehensive and easy-to-parse application.

This was not a fun flaw question.

At its absolute most basic, the stimulus says:

Conclusion: Not X.

Premise: If we BELIEVED X -> Y.

The assumption here is subtle: Since not Y, not X.

But why on Earth would we make that jump based on the single premise we are given? Also, notice we are drawing a conclusion based on what would be true if we BELIEVED otherwise, not if the case it WERE otherwise.

Answers:

A. A true belief (X) can have bad consequences (maybe, not Y). In other words, the author is failing to consider the possibility that X -> not Y. If this is true, the argument doesn´t work.

B. The author establishes one claim to not be true, but where is the other???

C. Irrelevant, there are no motives mentioned.

D. No implication that the most negative outcome must occur.

E. There is no group of individuals being compared to another.

I submitted my application to William & Mary today, however, I just realized that I made a small mistake in my "Why William & Mary Law" essay. I referred to Williamsburg as being a "highly-populated" and "thriving" city, even though it only has about 15,000 people... I went there for undergrad and somehow misremembered it as having more people than it really does. Anyway, it's a small yet noticeable mistake. Should I resend my essay?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take the LSAT exam in August and I made a Discord group so that we can talk about it and give each other advice.

Here's the link: https://discord.com/invite/f3u2RXS2

Hey all!

I am currently looking for study buddies that are in a similar life stage as I am. I was interested to see if any parents or older individuals out there are interested in studying together or working through certain questions together. I know my study schedule is 4-7:30 am, mid day (random times while my son is napping), after 8:30 PM (if I have energy) and weekends.

Just looking for someone that understands the parental struggles but still would want to be able to study/discuss the test with someone.

Hi Everyone! What LSAT prep test should I take after the diagnostic or does it matter? Thank you!!

Hi! I really want to apply to be in Boyd law school in Fall 2025. I don't know anyone with the same goals and have always felt like a study partner is helpful. I would love to study with someone who gets this! :) Just tired of feeling like im doing this alone lol

Hi all,

I almost always take notes when going through the lessons in the core curriculum. When I finish it and it is time to focus on drills and Preptests, is there a way I can use those notes, especially from questions I got wrong?
