Autofill

Is anyone else developing a crazy love/hate relationship with Autofill in the apps? It's nice to have certain fields populate, but man, be careful because it can create mistakes if you don't watch it like a hawk.

"In the Introduction to Logic lessons, J.Y. talks about how All Jedis use the Force, and J is in a small circle (sufficient) within the domain of the F (necessary).

But in Advanced Logic, he talks about how A->(B->C) = A and B ->C = A is “kicked up” and B->C happens in A’s domain.

But how come the domain in the first Jedi example is the necessary clause? But then the domain is the sufficient clause in the Advanced Logic example?"

For those of you who are planning to take the exam this year and/or applying to law school this year, here's some niche fb study groups.

Black LSAT Study Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/534432184138845/

BLM Supporters Study Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/300232194528457/

For those working full time: https://www.facebook.com/groups/953107761786529

Not affiliated with any of these groups, I just thought it would be helpful for those looking for specific types of support/community/accountability. Wishing you all the best of luck.

P.S If anyone identifies as Latina, feel free to message me! Would love to hear how your studies are going!

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!

How do I become better at identifying referential phrasing? I feel like I'm very slow and inaccurate at identifying them and being able to point them out. I would appreciate any advice or help given!

If you take a practice test and later delete it, how does that show up in the Problem Sets section where it says "Taken 1 time" etc., If you have taken the section, but deleted it, will it show up as "Taken 1 time" or as blank?

Hey friends! I am in the process of finishing my personal statement and I would really like to get a few opinions before the final send off with my applications. Besides the people that wrote me my LOR's, does anyone know of a resource that will help you with your personal statement revisions? Also, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars so I am not sure if anyone is in the same boat but let me know if you have any suggestions!! Thanks in advance!

I'm trying my first practice test on the Lawhub platform to prep for test day on Saturday. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but how do you end the section when you finish? 7Sage has a check for when you're done, but all I'm seeing on the LSAC platform is "pause section" which doesn't end it. Also, is there a way to just take the 3 sections like flex?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any particularly open ended games with a lot of rules to recommend for practice? I find myself getting a bit intimidated when there isn't that much that one can map out up front, so more practice with these would be helpful.

Hi all! Just a quick question here. I know your face must be visible for the entire LSAT-Flex. Does your tabletop need to be visible as well, or only shown during room scan? My webcam has a clear view of my face, but not of my hands or desktop while I write on scratch paper. I wasn't able to find anything about this, but just wanted to check.

I currently use an external monitor as the only view of my screen - my laptop remains closed while I am using it and cannot be used as a split-screen. This passed the ProctorU software sweep. Just wanted to make sure - is this okay?

Thanks everyone! Good luck October takers :)

Hi everyone, thanks for clicking in this post.

I will take the LSAT in Jan (and it will be my first and only LSAT score) but some schools' application deadline is Feb 1st. I'm a little bit worried if I should force myself to have a try on Nov LSAT (I have already registered it but feel not very confident, consider to cancel it)

I wondered will I be able to submit the application without LSAT score?

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!

Hello 7Sagers,

I have been doing untimed sections from the 40's and 50's and have been still missing questions. I'm pretty solid on understanding the stimulus but the AC's always seem to trip me up. If anybody would like to go through these LR sections with me and we can go over the questions to really understand what the stimulus is saying and work through the AC's showing how the right one is right and the wrong one is wrong I would love to have a Zoom/Video chat session to go over them. I'm available on Fridays and Saturdays all day. If interested just comment below or PM me!

I've done my undergrad in the U.S but had to return back to Canada upon graduating. I was wondering what would be the case if I attended law school in the U.S with a student visa? Is there a way to obtain a green card via sponsorship to continue to stay and work in the U.S?

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?

Hello 7Sagers,

There seems to be some contention between test takers who notate and who do not notate on RC. What is some feedback that ya'll could give on the matter? I started out notating and now I sort of just translate and keep the material in my head. It seems to be about the equivalent regarding answering the questions correctly. However, I would love some feedback from the forum!

Comment below!

Okay, I know this has been asked, but I'm still a little confused: do we need to provide parent info or not??

Some law school financial aid pages make it even more confusing by saying that we are considered financially independent from parents at this stage.

So, what's the deal? Any help would be much appreciated! (3(/p)

I've never self-studied before, and I'm struggling with pacing myself. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on:

  • How many 7sage core lessons / problem sets to get through per day
  • When to know that you're ready to move on to the next lesson
  • When you started taking full-length PT's
  • I realize that everyone learns differently, but any tips or ideas on pacing would be deeply appreciated!

    I struggle with performance when taking timed PTs. Untimed, I rarely miss any questions. However, under the pressure of time, I'm only getting halfway through each section, likely due to nerves impacting my confidence and my process (taking way too long reading/eliminating etc.).

    My question is, in order to get the best use of analytics, should I be cutting myself off when the time ends (despite having so much of the section undone)? Or should I just finish it at my own pace and take that as my score?

    A side note: I use benchmarks to track my time and I know logically that I have to move fast and skip hard questions. I've also completed every page of the LSAT Trainer, so I feel reasonably prepared for testing. Still, I get so anxious that I can't really "sense" the hard questions from the easy ones and I either: (1) Skip so many that I feel freaked out by the amount I'm not doing which kills my performance or (2) to avoid the previous scenario, I just don't skip any.

    I'm wondering if cutting myself off when time is up, although it sucks and it is super stressful, might help me overall improve my instincts for questions to skip and improve my ability to manage my pace overall. Does anyone know if this is the best approach to fixing it? Any other ideas are also GREATLY appreciated.

    I am coming up on my October LSAT, and my RC scores have started to slip. I'm not quite sure how to tackle this! I think the PTs in the 70s and 80s are turning up the heat a bit with the questions, but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for reviewing my tests, remembering details, etc...I am watching the question explanations for the questions I'm missing, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference.

    I so, so, so appreciate any advice that you can offer!!!
