Hello,

I am just wondering where the spell check function is on the lsat writing interface? Also, I am wondering you copy and paste? I just wrote it and neither worked for me, although they work via my keyboard and automatically during the practice test.

One of the main things that pushed me to law and wanting to become a lawyer was seeing one of my close family members grapple with addiction and how it affected me and my family. Is this an appropriate topic to write about for my personal statement or should I try to do something else?

Really struggled with this question in terms of understanding the QS and choosing between A and D (specifically, why A isn't right). Could someone correct my understanding?

Stim:

profit --> build more rooms or improve existing

/build more rooms

/profit

My thinking: So if there's no ability to increase profits, then hotel owners are either unable to build more rooms (which stim states) and/or unable to improve existing rooms

This question is a fill in the blank, so we're looking for a most strongly supported AC.

ACs:

A: Struggled a lot with this AC - it almost seemed like a necessary assumption because sure, even if hotel owners can't build more rooms, what if their rooms are at 10% occupancy right now? They'd be able to increase profits if they upped the occupancy rate to 100%.

B: Wrong. How would we know if they are maxed out when it comes to attractive location? Stim doesn't tell us this

C: Wrong. Cost of labor? came from left field

D: Initially chose this answer and then went back to A. My thinking here originally was: Alright, so hotel owners can't build more rooms, but they have another lever. Could they do some renovations and charge the rooms higher so they can make a profit? But, this AC shows that the hotels are already maxed out when it comes to improvement so they're really just...stuck.

(but then I came back again to this question and thought, well, what if the rooms aren't actually maxed out so then I kept bouncing back and forth between A and D) :(

E: Wrong. How do we know this/what would this even do to drive towards the fact that profits aren't increasing?

I have asked a former professor for a letter of recommendation and he accepted to write it. I want to send him a package including all the relevant materials for the application. I do not have my personal statement yet, but I thought of writing a reflection notes on what I learned from his class, and how that is going to help me in law school. I couldn't find more information on this, but is this a good idea? Will the notes help the professor in any way while writing the LOR?

Wondering if anyone in the nyc area is interested in starting a study group. I usually go to the library in midtown every weekend to study but I think it would be really helpful to have a small group to exchange strategies with/take practice tests with. message me if ur interested!

Hello, I took the August 2022 LSAT and the LG section had me very confused. I had never seen anything like it and when kept looking around at my practice tests for something similar, I was still unable to find something like the one I had on the test day. Would you be able to provide any assistance in pointing me in the correct direction, I do not want to make the same mistake on my next test.

I have an extension on my browser called DarkReader which basically turns every white color to black to minimize eye strain. It basically acts as a universal "dark mode". Would the proctors allow me to use this?

Does anyone know if we can take the Flex with the color inverted on our laptops? This is where the background is black and the words are white.

Did any Flex takers try this?

HI ya'll I was wondering if anyone is from the LA area or from the SFV area and is interested in organizing an in person study group. I noticed there are alot of people forming groups and I would be interested in studying with other individuals. I plan to take the LSAT in the Summer! Please let me know if any of you might be interested.

Will doing all the problem sets mess up my ability to take the practice LSATs? If anyone here did all the problem sets and then encountered the same questions in the LSAT, please let me know if it messed with your ability to accurately take the practice LSATs.

Thank you.

Hi guys I have been doing WAJ for the past couple of weeks. The way I did it was firstly copy&paste screenshot into my ipad notebook and then write explanations on it. Then I switched to make a drill of every question I missed or had doubt with and download that as a pdf. to write notes on. While I found this process to be smooth, I would rarely go back to these individual pdfs because the amount is getting big.

I wonder if I could somehow find a way to incorporate these notes into one document? I am thinking about perhaps doing an excel, but because I would like the stimulus included, I don't wanna do any extra, unnecessary work by somehow copy&pasting or screenshooting into excel; I already don't have enough time to actually practice because I have been spending so much time on BRing and reviewing wrong questions.

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I am new to 7sage and I am just wondering if the problem sets in the core curriculum should be done all at once. I have been trying to find out if I should save them or knock them all off at once. I am only two weeks into my study but I am getting a little bored with the problem sets. I think it is because I did study for a few months a few years ago so I think maybe I know the fundamentals and should keep the problem sets for when I am confused. Or if I find out I have a problem with a question type later on. I was hoping someone could tell me what they do.

Highly doubt anyone would have this info but what is the average distribution of questions based on level of difficulty per section. For example (average 3 level 5s on LR, or 80% level 3 or below on LR).

So I was utterly confused after reading the first sentence. I just didn't get how they were able to use the color of gazelle teeth to tell whether a group of humans were nomadic or not. I just don't understand how this "support" supports the conclusion that N was nomadic but C were not. How would the color of gazelle teeth tell you anything about human lifestyle?

What are you even supposed to do after reading an argument like this and being utterly confused? I can skip but that just delays the inevitable. I have to come back it. How do you talk yourself out of confusion?

Hey everyone,

Due to illness, we will have to cancel today's Sufficient Assumption Analysis with Henry. Join the class again on Tuesday to continue the discussion on assumption and principle questions!

Thoughts?

When answering the prompt, should you introduce the topic as though you are speaking to someone who doesn't know anything about the topic or as a response to a question? In other words, should you introduce the options at the beginning of the essay or just start with the answer?

Hi, could someone who understands this passage thoroughly translate paragraphs 3 and 4 with me? JY's explanation video for this passage zoomed through the last paragraph and I was still left pretty confused.

I do understand that overall, this passage is detailing Meyerson's critique of CLS and Paragraph 3 gets at one of her main issues with a key tenet of CLS, namely that just because we have two equally compelling solutions to a legal question, it must therefore mean that any choice between the two must be random or irrational and I get that she clearly doesn't agree but what I don't understand is why M would choose to bring in an "utterly unreasonable answer" to help decide between the two solutions. Like how would that help?

And for the last paragraph, is that first sentence just a really long-winded, abstract way of saying that the legal process is not necessarily moral? I also am confused about the whole who endorses the rules of the game in the final three sentences. What is the actual point of all this?

And I get it, during timed conditions I cannot hope to understand every detail but I'm reviewing right now and would like to try.

Anyone have a good way to explain this question?

I have a clear top choice for law school, and while I would love to apply Early Decision, I will likely need some scholarship money. Obviously, Early Decision reduces that chance of receiving money you would receive otherwise. But is it still standard for a law school to dish out money to an Early Decision applicant? My application for this particular school will likely benefit from an LSAT score at the median or 75th percentile but a GPA at the 25th percentile.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to study through chunking. What I mean is, in order to get myself back in rhythm of studying I'm going to use the chunking method so I don't burn out, so I can understand what I am learning, and to properly execute what I learned through practicing.

My main concern currently is how should I chunk the material?

For LG I do pretty well, I'm somewhere between 3-4 questions wrong (this is was the case in FEB) I don't know where I stand currently until I do some practice LGs.

The biggest section I want to focus on is LR. So,what should I chunk? Should I do 3 30 min chunking sessions throughout the day and have different concepts to chunk such as MP/MC, STR, Weaken or do 1 30min chunk session with 2-3 concepts and then later on in the day go through some flashcards to reinforce what I learned and do a couple of practice problems?

I believe this could help a lot of people if they don't have time such as myself.

What are your thoughts?

Hi,

I chose C here because I thought it was supported by lines 5-7 and I didn't choose B because I didn't see how the passage showed how laws were less/more rigid (since I didn't see anything about laws being flexible or changeable). Can anyone help explain why B is right and C is wrong?

Any #help would be very appreciated!

Thanks!

I intend to using 7Sage for LG and another resource for RC and LR. However, I'm having trouble trying to create this personalized curriculum, as I'm not sure which lessons are geared towards Logic Games (other than "Intro to Logic" and "Advanced Logic". Any help is much appreciated!

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?

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?
