Hi 7Sagers,

I am a low-income, first generation (citizen and college student), Cuban-American woman. Does this count as URM? I have read in several places that Hispanic URMS are only counted as Mexican and Puerto Rican.

Thank you!

I am trying to set up drills, but when there are fewer questions remaining than any of the number of question increment choices, I'm getting an error message for creating drills.

E.g. I have 4 questions left in the "Let Virtual Tutor Pick" logical reasoning section, but since the lowest increment of # of questions is 5, I get the following message: "Sorry, we were not able to create a drill based on your criteria. Please try again."

Hi all -

I started my course of study focusing pretty much exclusively on LGs (my first PT was a 159, -4 RC, -13 LG, -avg 5.5 on LR, so the what needed improving seemed clear) and am now in a place where I'm pretty happy with them.

The problem is now LR. On average I'm still -3 or -4 per section, and I just can't seem to crack the most difficult questions. Get them wrong ~50% of the time on BR, get them wrong in the little bit of time I have to check my answers in section.

So - any tips or strategies for approaching difficult (4 or 5 pip) LRs? Thanks in advance!

My November Lsat score was 157 (did not expect to get this). This would put me at 65 percentile.

What do you guys think my chances for Ontario schools are? Given the smaller applicant pool this year.

Ive applied to Windsor dual, Queens, Western, Osgoode, Ryerson(TMU), Ottawa.

Personally I think id be good for Windsor and Western maybe.

For anyone interested in a LSAT Study group for either the November or January dates, we are going to be meeting on Thursday 10/13 at 7pm EST to discuss scheduling. So far it seems as if evening meetings are preferable. Message me for the zoom link if interested

I've just finished my resume and really need someone who could give me a proofread. Have been asking around but none of my friends have any experience with applying for a US law school. Really insecure about the resume. Don't know if it is what the law school ask for.

Would someone be willing to review my resume? Much appreciated!

I chose (E) as my answer because "Selfish individualism" which was suggested as a menace to the integrity of society is not necessarily equivalent to the concept of selfishness, a fundamental motivator of human actions throughout the history (at least in this passage). There is a missing link which remains unexplained to bridge the gap between these two. I thought it was a snake-oil seller tactic switching terms in the vicinity with no proper justification. (A) is improper as there would have been no reason to defy the relevance of that argument in this passage iff he/she had offered us a coherent concept of excessive self-interest. Instead of reducing one of the social ills that epitomized the decade to "Selfish individualism", the author could have said "selfishness". Then, the whole passage can adhere to one particular theme with congruity. (B) is not germane to the argument because no numeric data is demanded whose absence can dismantle the validity of the argument entirely. It could undermine or weaken its cogency at best. (C) is the opposite of the argument. The writer perceives it as a chronic condition ailing our humanity from Day one. (D) is a nut job since we do not need to look into the case of other species to beef up the case against our unconditional/uncalculating benevolence. If humans are born to be driven by their own lust and lucre as part of basic instincts, then any author should channel all of one's efforts to cull out instances related to that hypothesis. The rest would be a dog-and-pony show. Thus, I opted for (E) as my final answer choice. According to the first half of the passage, the innate desire of humans to reveal their true blood even at the cost of damaging others was a culprit putting our society's harmony in jeopardy in the 1980s. Then, the second half of it has a different selling pitch: selfishness in the human history. This ever-lasting character lets him/her question the nature of good will by mankind in general. What I failed to see was the connection between them. What do you think about this? Do you mind sharing the rationale behind ur decision?

More of PSA, but I think when you simulate modern in this test it removes the wrong LR section. Every test I've inputted in simulate modern uses the first section (S2) in LawHub while only this one seems to do the opposite.

Hi,

I just took my LSAT writing and kinda bombed. I was feeling awful going into it but decided to do it anyway. I've always been an okay writer and I wasn't too stressed about it. However, I noticed after submitting it that I had failed to delete my brief description of the decision to be made and the criteria -- they were just sitting above the rest of the essay with a line in between -- and I made a couple of noticeable typos.

Is there anyway to redo it without redoing the entire test? Or to cancel only the writing section?

If it's at all relevant, I started a new medication today (my first dose was about 4 hours before the test) and I think it's definitely possible that it's what was making me feel wonky. I feel a little pathetic using that as an excuse but I honestly believe that it may be relevant, I don't know.

For those who have been scoring in the 170s on this years LSATs, would you mind sharing how many questions you missed (not sure if this info is available) and what you're score was? 7sage has only a few preptests that use the modern test scoring with 3 scored sections and 1 experimental, and I'm not sure how reliable the "simulate modern" feature is.

For reference, I just got -6 on the entire test for PT83, and some alleged raw score converters online from LSAC place this as a 176. Just curious as to the real numbers from you test takers, I'm taking my test here in two weeks!

I understand in-person study groups may not be recommended by 7sage for different reasons.

In my humble opinion there is nothing like in-person college-like cramming where different people may come together and assist in what others find difficult to comprehend & vice-versa.

I was wondering if there are any in-person study groups near SouthbBay area in a public, quiet place (I.E. a Library's study room). If not, would there be people willing to participate in one?Alternatively a Zoom Group would be good enough. LMK!

I have created a survey to get something concrete going on person or through ZOOM, as I've not been contacted by authors of other discussions. Feel Free to Complete Interested, since I haven't been contacted -I've done a survey for those interested. If so feel free to complete so that there's something concrete going. https://forms.gle/kZLjU8VVny6Nrv4w7

Hello everyone!

My name is Ken. My friends and I host an LSAT study meeting at Gangnam every Sunday. We do not charge to attend this meeting but ask that each participant only pays for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. If anyone else wants to join, please read the conditions below and send me a message to my inbox! (:

  • This LSAT study meeting takes place from 2:00 pm-5:00 pm every Sunday at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

  • The language of the study meeting is English and English only. Any constituent speaking Korean will be asked to speak in English. We will accept a mixture of English and Korean (Konglish).

  • We do not make a profit hosting this LSAT study meeting other than asking each constituent to pay for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. The fee for using this meeting room is 6,000 KRW per person (1,900 KRW per hour for each person x 3 hours = 5,700 KRW rounded up to 6,000 KRW). This fee must be paid for in advance as soon as the constituent confirms in writing that he or she will attend the upcoming study meeting. The cause for paying the fee in advance as soon as possible is because we have to reserve the meeting room at the study cafe according to the number of constituents attending the meeting.

  • The refund will be issued only if the cancellation is made 48 hours prior to the start time of the study meeting. For example, a constituent has to cancel at latest by 2:00 pm on Friday to receive the refund.

  • The method of payment is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only. The method of refund is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only.

  • Any constituent using profanity or exhibiting an aggressive behavior will be permanently removed from the study meeting.

    • Thanks!

    After having took 5 practice tests and done probably 50 different logic games, I have come across my number 1 enemy: drawing the initial board. Not even figuring inferences, but simply figuring out if it’s sequence or grouping and drawing a board accordingly. Does anyone have any tips for figuring out the kind of board to draw?
