Hi,

Could someone please help me with interpreting "except" in this sentence?

In order to encourage personal responsibility in adults, society should not restrict the performance of any of the actions of adults or interfere with the likely results except to prevent negative effects on others.

This short premise is originally from PT 69 Section 2 Q15. The way JY interprets except in the sentence is that "if there is interference, then it is to prevent negative effects on others". I understand this logical transition. However, in the syllabus, doesn't he say that "except" is a bi-conditional indicator? So, will we use "except" as a bi-conditional indicator here to translate the logic?

Thank you for the help!!!! I sincerely appreciate any helpful comments.

I'm registered for the April 2024 international LSAT but see that scheduling is still "TBD." Does anyone know approximately when LSAC will open scheduling?

Hey guys! So I took a practice test in 2023 without any studying and scored a 139. I recently took the same exam and another practice test and scored 149. Is that improvement? I don't know if I should be happy or a bit disappointed. My blind review is 153. I went up 10 points in both blind review and timed test. I'm not sure if I should be scoring high after doing the core curriculum and drills. The only section that hasn't improved in reading comprehension.

On drills, I usually go -2 on RC, -2 on LG, and anywhere from -1 to -3 on LR. But when I take PTs, my mistakes double. This has been going on for several months now.

Most recently, I split PTs 63, 64, and 65 into four individual drills. After adding up the score from each drill, my totals were 170, 173, and 171, respectively.

I just took PT 65 as a full practice test and got slammed with a 165.

It hasn't always been like this. In July last year, I was hitting the 170s with relative ease on full PTs. I took a break from hardcore studying because of work, but I made it a point to keep up with drilling. So why am I doing so poorly on PTs? Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Friends! I was wondering if anyone knows of/has any suggestions for a professional resume creating company/service. The best of the best would be ideal. And I mean a professional resume to include in my school applications, not for a job. Thanks!

Hi,

I have went through the cc of 7sage a little bit ago, and are moving into the LG section of the cc. However, as many have recommended, I have been trying to incorporate LR drills while going through the LG section of cc. I have been trying to do drills in LR specifically focusing on question types but seem to still be getting a lot wrong even with BR. In addition, I have purchased the Loophole since many said the supplemental material helps a lot. I was just wondering on anyone's recommendations on how to study? (I can dedicate a majority of my time studying since I only work PT as well). (I also have not touched RC at all in cc yet) Should I work through the Loophole before continuing anymore drills on 7sage? Should I still try to go through LR and LG at the same time, or how should I work through both most effectively? Any and all advice much appreciated!!!

I had maintained a 4.0 GPA until I decided to switch my major to follow in my sister's footsteps into dentistry, aiming to make my parents proud. This decision, especially transitioning to a science major in my junior year, was extremely challenging due to my longstanding dislike for science. This struggle led to a severe Adderall addiction as I attempted to numb the reality of my situation, significantly impacting my grades during this incredibly difficult period where I was taking about seven classes, including science labs, simultaneously.

Additionally, I had to enroll in classes at different universities due to issues with attending classes properly while juggling a demanding schedule, including a dental assistant job from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, with an hour's drive to college and back every day. After realizing the extent of their pressure, my parents eventually agreed to support my ambition to pursue law, provided I steered clear of criminal law. However, my grades worsened in my senior year as I struggled to find myself again, having lost my identity amid these challenges. The experience of living through others' expectations severely affected me. Despite these hardships, my desire to become a lawyer, a dream I've harbored since childhood, remains strong. Yet, I'm concerned about how my past sacrifices might impact my future in law. My GPA eventually dropped to a 3.0, and I had to graduate months later due to the time required for my classes to transfer.

I need advice on how to explain that, although I failed classes at my home university, I performed well at other universities. Oddly, it seemed to be a mental challenge; my home university, initially chosen for its excellent law program, symbolized my dreams and passions. The disheartening experiences there made it difficult to appreciate the school or feel happy. This contrast in performance might be attributed to my perception of lost dreams at my home university, which is why I excelled in the same classes at different universities when I took them for a non-degree purpose.

I'm seeking guidance on how to articulate this complex journey in a GPA addendum, unsure of the best approach to take.

Hi guys! I just started with the v2 core curriculum and I think it'll be a great idea to get a study buddy(ies) to help each other through this insane process. Lmk if you're interested! I'd love to connect over discord since it is so easy to use. Thanks!!

I got this one right in BR, but would like an explanation as to why it is the best answer.

Hey all, currently my study and buddy and I Blind Review practice tests every Sunday afternoons, like 3:30 PM-ish PST, over Zoom. If you are planning on taking the April, June, August, or December test and also want to review with us, please let me know!

Hi all,

I almost always take notes when going through the lessons in the core curriculum. When I finish it and it is time to focus on drills and Preptests, is there a way I can use those notes, especially from questions I got wrong?

Hey everone, I just register for the in-person 7Sage course, anyone taking it?

Hi, can anyone elaborate on the math that J.Y. does in this problem in the explanation video? I’m still confused on how he got 200 for one aspect of it.

Hi all,

I never thought I would be asking about this on the 7Sage forum, but I figured I would since you all want to go to law school. Are there any jobs that require a college degree but no professional experience? Ideally those that relate to legal work. Also, if you all have any suggestions on where to look I would appreciate any direction.

I'm currently scoring: 155-160

📆 My planned test date: April/June

📈 To study, I have been: Studying all of LG to try and get -0 and reading the Loophole

🔑 My goals for this group are: to hold each other accountable and study in person together.

🔍 We'll focus on: Whatever we find necessary

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: As much as possible!! I am open to every week day and weekends off or Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

✅ How to join: Zoom or in person

In the lessons about In/Out games there is use of bi-conditionals like J (--) /K. For other prep material they have used a "negative bi-conditional", so J (-/-) K. Do these represent the same things? I assumed they both meant J and K cannot be selected together. #Help

I have an average of a -6 RC and a -1 LR, plus -0 LG. What did you all do to get your RC so good? I haven't gotten a LG question wrong in a while RC on the other hand is a no go for me.

I don't know why but I always struggle with Flaw questions and get 50% of them wrong all the time. It's just not clicking! Does anyone have any tips that worked for them? Anything would be appreciated.

Hi guys,

I am taking April LSAT and I just took PT88 and got score with -6 drop from my usual. I am not too worried about LG -2/-3 is ok for me but I just got like -12 in LR and -15 in RC. I usually get between -6/-9 for LR so I guess 3 more questions I can pass but I usually get -6 on RC with max -9 but with -15 in this RC I don't know what to do anymore.

Has anyone seen this major drop with scores with this PT particularly or maybe few weeks before the actual exam? I took one from the 90s and I didn't even do that bad on it so now I am confused where I lie. My scores have not dropped nor increased (LOL) for like the past few months and I was pretty happy with my score of 159~ 162. I got 153 on this PT so what will be the actual score on the real one? OR is this PT just from hell and I should just burn it and act like it never existed LOLOL

Ignore. Made by mistake

Hi, we're currently seeking a few more individuals to join our dedicated study group focused on enhancing our reading skills for the LSAT or law school education.

Ok, I did a practice session on the LSAT practice on LSAC. I bombed it spectacularly with 5/23. I have autism and sometimes have problems with testing. Is there any LSAT prep programs that are in person? Thank you

Just took the June 2007 Preptest and I am trying to make sense of what I should practice more of

If anyone has an Instagram page dedicated to their journey to law school, leave your @ below! I recently created a "studygram" and am looking to connect on Insta w more prospective law students :) !
