Aiming to take November Flex. Looking for a study buddy to work on Logical Reasoning. Message or comment if interested. Thanks!

Hi, I'm going to be writing a diversity statement and in addition to some extensive googling, I wanted to know if anyone here has had success writing DS's or has some sage, or 7sage (bad joke) advice for writing a good DS. I've also looked at the admissions site here on 7sage for some pointers and they have been helpful.

Just looking for peoples' input and specific advice. Thanks!

Hi All,

I was thinking of taking the November exam, but I am early into my prep. Going through the fundamentals at the moment. I ideally want to study until December so I can get the highest score possible - optimistic about the study process. However, taking January will push out my apps so they are late in the admissions process. Wanted to see if anyone had some advice in terms of the timeline, and if its worth the risk taking the latter so I can score to my potential. My goal is to hit a 170 and my initial diagnostic was a 150 (with half the exam left blank because of time constraints).

As always, I am open to any studying advice or any other knowledge someone may want to shed! Thanks for reading!

Should retail/restaurant jobs be included on your resume if you don't have any other kind of work experience?

Hello fellow 7sagers!

I'm sorry if my post is outside the usual scope of 7sage discussions, but I was curious to see if anybody else is in a similar situation as me or has any advice to share.

When I originally decided to go to law school, I was planning on going to law school in the United States (where I'm from), but after evaluating some extenuating circumstances in my life, I decided it would be best for my health to go to Ireland for law school where I can get better access to medical care (I'm a type one diabetic if anybody is wondering). I'm still planning on taking the LSAT, but I was wondering if there was anybody on here who knows anything about international law school admissions (specifically in Ireland) or if there's anybody who's in a similar situation as me. All replies are greatly appreciated! Also, if you took the time to read my post thank you! Stay safe everybody!

I am looking for someone who would love to BR with me over Zoom (aiming to do November LSAT-Flex). If you are interested please message or email me at dcain19@jcu.edu.

I'd like to ask for some advice on how to go through problem sets in CC "wisely".

What I'm doing now is watch JY's general explanation on q.type,

do the Qs on my own and then watch JY's explanation clips checking if I got it right or wrong,

then doing Problem Sets attached to it.

Now for Problem Sets, after checking the result, I watch the explanation clip right away, read some comments and then move on.

That's when I feel stuck. I feel like this process doesn't get me anywhere to develop advanced logical thinking to solve any questions at similar level. I've read many comments trying to articulate the reasoning on their own but I feel like sometimes I just memorize JY's argument. Should I still try to explain it on my own after(or before) watching the explanation?

Would that help me acquire or broaden my reasoning?

I'm already registered for Oct flex which will be my first exam but I haven't reached the score I'm aiming on PT.

As I took some prep classes before joining 7sage and I don't have much time left before October flex,

I was going to tackle only on q.types I'm weak in, but I changed my mind and decided to finish CC as soon as possible.

I'm so depressed now that I don't see any improvements in my PT score(avg 157) and I can see why when I go through Problem Sets.

What am I doing wrong?

Should I try to explain every answer choice while doing Problem Sets or BR before watching the explanation?

Do I have enough time for that? or would that be more effective way to score any higher?

Any advice, encouragement welcomed. :(

(Btw, my goal is to get somewhere around 170 in January)

Hi guys!

I'm in the process of applying and came across a school that wants an explanation for the variance in the LSAT score. My LSAT scores are 161 -> 167. I wasnt too sure what the "correct" explanation is or what they are looking for here. Thoughts?

Took the august flex and not 100% sure how it went. I am back at school now for my senior year so work is adding up and havent touched any lsat stuff since the test on the 29th. Should i just wait till my score comes out to figure out if I need to take again or what.. really dont want to take again and i wont be able to study as much with school work soo not sure what to do

Anyone here also not from a traditional pre-law background? Im a theatre artist with a BFA looking to make a big transition. If anyone else thinks of their pre-law background as non-traditional, lets maybe have a study or commiserating group?

Planning on taking the November LSAT, scoring around 165 but aiming higher. Looking to create a study group, I am currently in University so I think evening time 7 PST would be best or early morning. Looking to meet around three times a week and focus more on LR and RC. Also for support through this. Planning on going through PT 62+

Does one have a better chance of getting into a school if they are applying to a specific program/ field of study ?

#help Please

When the ‘OR’ is in the necessary and the arrow does not split, how is that diagramed? without the ‘OR’ if you have to chain them up?

When the ‘AND’ is in the sufficient and the arrow does not split, how is that diagrammed? without the ‘AND’ if you have to chain it up?

Does anyone know if i can sign up for and take the U.S. November LSAT from another country?

I was just wondering if anyone had some predictions about this. I think the PowerScore podcast mentioned that the two might be flex, but I still wanted to see what other people thought. I hope the two tests are flex, but I'm not sure at the moment...

Is it just me or did anyone find the RC on 79 way harder than usual? Is this a trend that continues to the 80s?

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well and staying safe.

My reading comprehension skills have significantly worsened after following the strategies outlined by both 7Sage and Powerscore. I find myself to be struggling the most with Main Point/Most Strongly Supported Questions on Reading Comprehension. If you have any suggestions for resources or strategy recommendations, please let me know. I am really struggling, so any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I've been prepping on my Acer R11 Chromebook - works very well with the 7Sage site. But I know that ProctorU doesn't work with Chromebooks. I have a work Macbook, but it's not touch screen.

Any suggestions on a cheap Windows touch screen device?

Thanks,

Alex

Looking for around 3 people to join the group. Any more tends to result in a clusterf...

Will be on discord.

This is for people taking October , only.

7sagers that have done the CC preferred.

The point of this group is to go over LR sections, aprox. 3 times a week. During the morning, and afternoons depending on schedule.

Full time LSAT study members preferred with open schedules.

Avg PT score of 160+ preferred.

Repeat flex testers preferred.

Headset with MIC required for discord to go over LR sections. (Webcam not required.)

Anything above PT 65 would be ideal, so this is mainly for people looking to do the mid 60s , 70s, 80s.

Send me a DM if you are interested. I know this seems strict, but just trying to get the right people.

Now that you can use mechanical pencils on the LSAT Flex, I thought I would give some advice here as someone that is a self proclaimed mechanical pencil nerd. I have used many in practicing for the LSAT and have to give my #1 recommendation to the Delguard ER . It is 0.5 MM and has a mechanism that prevents the lead from breaking (up to three clicks). It has saved me all kinds of time and frustration. The Delguard ER is great for smaller hands, and the regular non ER model is still great, but thinner. All around it's a great pencil. The eraser is OKAY, so I would recommend a mono black foam stick eraser, but that's your personal preference.

Hi!

I've got a study buddy for the October LSAT and we're looking to have 1 or 2 more people join us who scores in the same range we do (so anywhere between 160-170). I currently score about -6 to -7 in RC, anywhere between -4 to -7 in LR, and -0 in LG. My study partner scores about -4 in RC, -1 in LR, and -0 in LG. We plan to get together on Teams about once a week to discuss RC and LR for PTs above 80. This weekend we're going over PT 81. Please msg me if interested :)

Hi,

So while I did understand why the wrong answer choices were wrong here, I had trouble understanding why E was right. Can anyone explain their reasoning here?

The reason I had trouble understanding why E was right was because I didn't really know what was the difference between "subjective association" and "possession of concept". I thought that a "subjective association" had to be an association that people made based on their "subjective" (aka personal) opinion, but I didn't see any personal opinion in passage A-- I saw people basing their opinion from the connotations in the languages themselves, not from their unique thoughts/experiences.

In addition, "whereas" in answer choice E indicates contrast between "subjective association" and "possession of concept" yet, from my perspective, it seems like people holding a masculine view of a violin and people holding a rough view of numerical values both seem like "possessions of concepts"-- they are both opinions that people hold.

So how is E right?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi guys, so I am currently registered for the October flex. I took the August flex, but I am worried that I will get my scores late since I had a bunch of issues with the writing sample. Unfortunately, I had very unreliable internet for the past week or so with the CA heatwave and now the wildfires.... I tried to take it yesterday, but the exam kicked me out within 15 min. of starting it so I retreived a new link from LSAC today (9/10). BUT they failed to tell me that it will not reset for another day so I essentially have to wait til 9/11 to take it. Scores come out on 9/18 and I just doubt that LSAC will process it in time before the exam. I hope they do, but I am just bracing myself for the possibility of delayed scores (internally screaming). That said, I was hoping to make a decision on whether to take the October flex or not based on how I did on the August flex. However, as we all know, the October flex is less than a month away and I have not been able to really get back into studying full time due to all these issues I've been having. Do you guys think it's wiser for me to switch to November or should I wait and see if I get my August score in time? Is it considered late to take the LSAT in November? I have heard a bunch of mixed opinions on that so any insight would be helpful. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

As the November LSAT will be offered as a FLEX test, would it be best to continue taking four-section PrepTests, or would it be best to switch to taking the three-section Flex tests?

Alternatively, would it be beneficial to do a mix of four-section tests and three-section tests (i.e. two of each per week) as opposed to exclusively taking one or the other (or taking mostly one type but taking the other type once in a while)?

I understand that it's important to simulate actual test-day conditions as accurately as possible, which I think is the main advantage to switching to the three-section practice tests. But the advantage that I see in taking the four-section test is that it includes 2 LR sections, which means more LR practice (although I suppose that I could take the three-section test and save the second LR section for another time).

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and good luck to everyone in all of their endeavors!
