I am slightly confused as to how Q22 = AC: C?

Doesn't C leave the possibility of

1.) Network to U to P to T to S to T to R to Q

or

2.) Network to T to S to U to P to T to R to Q

?

I write on Saturday, someone please let me know ASAPPP!#help

Hello!

I was wondering if we took the LSAT this June and submitted a writing sample, will we have to write a new writing sample for the August 2024 exam? (Since the format is changing a little bit)

Hi. I am an admission consultant specializing in college and graduate school admission for international students. I have dealt with many students from China. I think it is helpful to address a few talking points I see posted on forums on why international applicants have a disadvantage when applying to American law schools.

  • "Schools don't like international students because they may not have the ability to cover their tuition." Universities at both the undergraduate and graduate levels do not know whether international applicants can cover their tuition when they review their applications. They are mandated by immigration authorities to require international students to submit proof of financial support to their international student services. Chinese international students I worked with usually provide a bank deposit as proof. This process is necessary for them to obtain the F-1 document, which the U.S. Customs and Border Protection will review upon arrival. International students with the required funds do not need to worry about this factor.
  • "Schools don't know how to interpret transcripts from non-American institutions." This one is tricky. I find that international students tend to have a lower undergraduate GPA than domestic students. Universities outside the U.S. might not have the same grading system or the same kind of academic standards. Sometimes the school just gives out Bs and Cs like candies. So it is hard to say whether transcripts might be a factor.
  • "International students tend to have weaker applications." It is plain and simple. If you have weak qualifications, it will probably hurt your chances. But be careful not to make it about the applicant being international. A low LSAT score is just a low LSAT score. It has nothing to do with their citizenship status.
  • "International students statistically fare worse than American students in the admission process." Again, please do not draw causal inferences based on correlations. Schools do not apply a higher level of scrutiny when reviewing international applications. It is erroneous to say to an international applicant that they have a disadvantage just because data says they do.

    Is there a way to practice a section at a time, review it, and then try a new section? Is there a way to do this or do you create a drill?

    Hey guys, new to 7sage here. Any tips on how to utilize the site to maximize potential? Been blasting through the ciriculum and watching the videos. Should there be a mix of skill practice(aside from the built in skill builders) in between or is that best for after all of the core is out of the way? Let me know what you guys did/do!

    hi, guys!

    if possible, i'm looking for some advice - thank you so much in advance :) i have taken the LSAT four times and canceled one of my scores last october due to extenuating circumstances.

    my fourth score, the nov. 2023 LSAT, is much lower (:/) than my highest score and i'm worried would put me in a disadvantageous position considering that i'm applying this application cycle, which i was planning to in the next couple of days but hadn't expected this. considering that i already have one score cancellation on my record, do you think that also cancelling my nov. 2023 LSAT score would be harmful to my application?

    any and all thoughts are appreciated!!!

    I'm an undergraduate student juggling full-time work, full time study while living independently. My current gpa is 3.8. In my initial attempt at the LSAT, I began with a diagnostic score of 135. Despite dedicated self-study since September 2023, my November LSAT score was 143, falling short of my goal in the 158-160 range. This was disheartening, especially considering my average practice scores were in the 150s. As a mature student, I'm eager to avoid waiting another year.

    Seeking guidance, I've never enlisted the help of a tutor, relying solely on self-study. I'm now seeking advice on recommended books, potential tutoring options, or any resources that could aid in reaching my goal. Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Looking for a study buddy in Korea to polish games down to -0 & get LR/RC down to consistent -2 before June.

  • Sessions can be offline or online, but someone who's in the same time zone(or, yknow, somewhere in Korea) is much preferred.
  • Sessions can be in either Korean or English, but strongly prefer someone comfortable with English.
  • Someone who broke into the 170s in their PTs at least once and aiming for 172+ would be ideal.

    On my first prep test about a week into the LR Core Cirriculum, I scored a 153. I felt as though this was an excellent starting point in regard to my goal of at least 160. I have since completed the CC, and took another prep test today. I scored a 156. Though an improvement nonetheless, it feels as though perhaps I wasn't studying correctly/intensely enough. I was wondering if it is normal to see more of a jump once you start consistently drilling AFTER the CC as opposed to completing the CC alone. Just wondering if I need to do anything before jumping into drilling + prep tests alone in addition to the CC to see more progress.

    Thanks !! :)

    Hello 7Sagers!

    I'm looking for some tips to help improve my reading comprehension score. I am currently scoring around -12 which is of huge concern given I take my second LSAT in January. While practice is, of course, key to improving my RC score, I need to see lots of improvement in a relatively short amount of time. At present, I seem to be struggling the most with my speed. I take too long answering the questions, which indicates to me that I need to spend more time analyzing the passage. Perhaps some tips on low resolution summaries might help? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

    Dear all,

    I scored 168 in the June test, and my goal is to get 172+ in the October test. I am a non-native English speaker and not from the US. I have been studying for this test for two years. I feel I might hit my limit by studying myself and may need help from an expert. There are only three months before the October test, so my time for significant improvement is limited. I am thinking to work with a tutor, but I have no idea which tutor might work best for me since there are so many tutors in 7 Sage. Can you guys kindly recommend one or two tutors to me based on your experience? Thank you very much! I wish you all the best on the LSAT.

    Hi there! I have just started 7sage and am a little confused what my study schedule should look like. I have just completed my first prep test - but should I have watched videos before that/I don't see drills or practices listed on my customized study schedule?

    Hi - I was looking for someone to sit down with to review score/GPA and evaluate admissions prospects in NYC. I want to understand both prospects for JD and JD/MBA admissions. Any recommendations? I used 7Sage for studying for first exam and love the site, so I am coming here with this question.

    Thanks in advance,

    Joe
