A question about early decision - if I apply early decision to a law school and then for various factors I decide I am not going to go to law school at all (very complicated explanation for this but I may end up getting a very lucrative job and not go). What would this mean for me? It cant force me to go to the law school I am assuming.

I am seeing online "that your required to attend that particular school or not go to law school at all that year" from a blog on power score. But just curious if anyone has more insight

hi all! I just got back my score from the September LSAT and my score went down from my previous test by 4 points.. should I submit an addendum for this? I’m reading mixed suggestions online..

For background context I applied last cycle in February (late I know, but I was wanting to get a decent score and wanted to be in school by this current fall) and was waitlisted pretty much everywhere I applied. I decided to r&r mid-july which left me with little review time before the September test date, which I wanted to take so that I could submit my applications like early since I’m planning on applying to the same schools I was waitlisted at. In retrospect I should've signed up for the October test and planned to submit by November rather than October.

Will this hurt my chances of getting accepted at my previously waitlisted schools? Should I explain this in an addendum or no..? Any suggestions help

Hello! So.. my worst case scenario came true. I took the January 2023 LSAT for the first time, did not do great, and cancelled my score. I took the LSAT for a second time in September and managed to score worse by TWO points than the Jan LSAT I cancelled. I am really stressing out about if I should cancel my score or keep it - only if it would really look that bad to T-14 schools to have two cancellations. For context, I am also registered for the October 2023 exam. My September score is MUCH lower than any of my target school averages, and so I want to cancel the score but don't know if there's any merit to avoiding having two cancellations on my record. The September test was a bit of a fluke for me as I panicked and really got in my head during the exam.

I appreciate anyone's help!

Heyooo 7Sage community!

On Wednesday, October 11th, from 9-10 pm ET, we'll be hosting a special edition webinar and 7Sage podcast crossover: a live Q&A event with two of 7Sages most experienced––and funny––Live Class instructors and tutors, Henry Ewing and Bailey Luber. 

Register for the webinar beforehand (you might need a free Zoom account): https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAqce6qrj0pE9xkvBd5Wf3W_R1xKFYg8TOL

⚠️ After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

⚠️ You MUST register for this webinar in advance.

The webinar will be recorded, and we will post it on our podcast and site. If you would like to change your Zoom display name beforehand to protect privacy, please use a name you're comfortable with us using to call on you if you ask a question! 

If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

Hey hey! If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

You must register in advance using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIocOCurT4jHtd7O3BdoLv03bCWpYWw2RKI Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. You can take the PT through 7Sage, or, if you want to simulate real test-day conditions, you can log into LawHub and take it there.

Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 pm ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctor will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

I was confused between answer choices A and E for this one.

Is A incorrect because it leaves out the part about researchers being puzzled by how kinglets are able to survive cold winter nights? I was trying to figure out if answer choice A had any descriptive/factual errors, but I couldn't find any, so I'm guessing the problem is that it doesn't address the fact that scientists are trying to figure out the mechanisms behind the birds' survival.

That seems to be the only difference between A and E.

Hi everyone.

I have been using analytics to try and determine where my weak points are with regards to question types but I have noticed that tricky stimuli seem to trip me up more than the actual question type. Analytics claim that strengthen and weaken questions are ones I need the most improvement on but I have been nailing them in recent PTs and I feel like the questions I do get wrong on both timed and BR differ greatly from one PT to the next. There doesn't seem to be a consistent trend. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Most of the time when I watch JY's explanations, I will have that "ah I get it moment" which usually comes about because I didn't consider something in the argument, but of course there are those very few questions I need to really dive deep to figure out why my AC was incorrect or how a seemingly wrong AC is actually the correct choice.

My confidence is down; its seems like my score is worse after the blind review because i chose the answers that I was conflicted about. how do i make myself sure and confident its the right answer; I chose E instead D; whats the difference between cautious vs skeptical

I've noticed that a huge issue I'm having right now is drawing way too many boards on logic games. Whenever a question introduces new conditions, I can't just picture it in my head- I need to be able to visualize it. I've always been the same way with numbers, I've always been terrible at mental math. What should I be doing to help this? Will I make better inferences in time? I take the LSAT in like a month and would love to address this soon.

Hello everyone,

I am taking the LSAT on November 10th. What are some great free resources and what is the most effective way to study? I am a husband and father of two under two. I am also currently an MBA student.

QUICK HELP

So sorry for the promptness - I guess it doesn't matter too much, but today is my last pt before october exam. should i take pt 89 or 83 as my last one?

And my tutor told me to not look at the score - as this can cause overestimation / overconfidence or anxiety / nerves depending on how I do ? my average right now is a 165.8-166. What do you guys think?

Hello 7sage hive mind!!

I have a few questions re: Character and Fitness section.

Every school asks if you have ever been disciplined for academic or non-academic reasons. Do university parking citations count as being disciplined by the school? Does anyone care? This was 7+ years ago.

Along a similar vein... If schools want to know about speeding tickets, should I disclose written warnings? Also, should I disclose when I was pulled over but not issued anything?

I'm clearly down the rabbit hole here lol.

Thanks in advance for your advice
