Hi everyone,
I've been preparing for the LSAT for quite some time. Last year, I went through a significant amount of study material and took several prep tests. After completing the application process, I decided to reapply this year, which led me to continue my LSAT prep.
However, I'm facing a challenge. The new prep tests are compilations of sections from old prep tests, which makes it challenging to find fresh prep tests. Additionally, because I’ve done a lot of drilling both last year and this year, I’m running out of fresh tests, especially from 130 downward.
Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on how to approach this situation or find more fresh prep tests? Is it worth completing prep tests although segments from sections may have been drilled previously?
I'd appreciate any tips or resources that might help me keep my prep going strong.
Thanks in advance!
Prior to PSA while going through the content I was fairly confident in my try it yourself question answers and was getting them right a high percentage of the time. However since SA I have been struggling on these questions and am getting fairly easy questions wrong. I realize that I am also unable to identify wrong answers as easily as the previous questions types and just wanted to ask if anyone had any tips on how I could do better on SA, NA, AP, MoR, and Flaw.
Could someone help me out here?
The stem reads "The passage suggests that Taruskin's position commits him to which one of the following views?" I'm having trouble understanding why AC D is wrong here. I selected AC D because in lines 6-7 Taruskin explicitly states that high art was produced by and for elites. JY's reasoning as to why AC D is incorrect is just that Taruskin never mentions that the artists are themselves part of the elite class but this just doesn't seem to be true? I get why AC C is right. Does this question hinge on the use of the word suggests in the stem? That it can't be explicitly stated but must instead be implied? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
am i rushing through br? am i not flagging enough?
Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed, as it likely has, but I haven't found enough information to fully determine what I should do about the lower LSAT score I received today.
Regrettably, I have taken the LSAT 6 times this past year (this fact itself might require an addendum). Despite going overboard and being generally impatient, my trajectory has been a good one, at least until today: cancellation > 163 > 164 > 169 > 171 > 166. To my eyes, the 166 completely devalues the 171 that I had just a month before. And yet I've resolved to not cancel the score. Instead, I've been considering bringing up the drop in score in an addendum. However, I'm not confident that the explanation, reasonable as it is to me, is good enough to warrant an addendum. I was just feeling a ill the morning of the exam and my brain fogged a lot more than usual. Panic also set in when I realized that I couldn't focus on the exam at all. Alternatively, I could just not bring up the drop in score at all and to not shine any undue spotlight onto it. Mostly, I want the adcoms to know that I feel that the upwards trend truly represents my abilities, not the one blip at the end of it. But I worry that stating it so baldly without good reason might do my application a disservice. Any thoughts?
Thank you for any help you might have.
RC is bringing my scores down for the most part, I feel fine with LR but I cant seem to improve on RC. Anyone have tips/resources that have been helpful to them? I'm scheduled for the October test!
What is the frequency of the different question type distribution within LR on the recent LSATs?
I feel like there's something wrong. I finished 7sage's LR curriculum, drilled, took practice tests, and I never scored higher than my diagnostic. In fact, I only scored between 157 and 162 on my practice tests preceding the official test. To be fair, I introduced BR very late to my study process. But I feel like it's odd that I didn't at least stumble into a higher score based on rote practice and familiarity.
Does anyone have thoughts about how to proceed for the October exam? Should I hunker down, focusing on PTs and blind review? Should I consider a different program? A private tutor? Stop studying and hope my intuition marinates over that time (JK)?
Hey 7Sagers!
My name is Jake Baska and I'm one of the admissions consultants here at 7Sage. Just FYI that I'll be doing an AMA tomorrow on the Law School Admissions sub-Reddit over here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/new/. It'll be from 11AM - 1PM Eastern. Come on by, ask a few questions, maybe give my ridiculous gif-game a kind upvote, etc.
Hey everyone! I am hosting LR Kahoot tonight and LR jeopardy on Sunday night for anyone who wants to come join. We will also be hosting more in the future. Comment your discord and I'll add you to the group.
Mainly the title but to add some context: most of the questions I get wrong I simply just misinterpreted the stimulus, whenever I watch a explanation video for a question I just didn't understand it always comes back to "I did not understand what I just read". To help with this I am actively reading on the side every day but if there is anything else I am missing please let me know. Furthermore, my analytics do not really show a pattern of question type that I am absurdly getting wrong. I have made study plans focusing on question types that I am not extremely confident with but I am wondering if I just need to take more tests or review the CC?
Hi all!
Sorry to bother but I really want to ask what I should do if I want to visit a law school and visit a class in the law school. I know I can register a tour from their websites. However, a lot of law schools I want to visit do not provide chances to register for visiting a class.
I really want to visit a class and what should I do? Thank you so much if you guys can give me some suggestions!
I’ve been stuck studying the LSAT for about 9 months now. I wasn’t preforming well the first 6 with the programs had so I switched to 7sage I’ve been PT’ing in the mid- high 140’s and definitely seen some improvement. However my goal is to break 150’s and apply in the fall. What are some tips/tricks yall have used to get you over that time edge? I have already registered for October and I plan on having that be my last exam since I’ll be working/studying for other exams.
Another concern of mine is this exam and being admitted. I’m not shooting for the stars and the schools I have are in the T100 region. I have all my other credentials in line such as a high gpa (Accounting 3.9), great LOR, and a lot of internship experience. The calculator seems to think I have a decent chance lol but was wondering if anyone has insight? Thanks.
Hey guys, I just signed up for the November Virtual Course but can't seem to find a way to locate it on the site. Does anyone know where it is? I just paid for it :(
for question 16, How is the answer (A) unusual expressiveness ?
I get that it's the best answer out of all of them but what's "unusual" about the era in question? how would we justify this?
Admin Note: Edited title. For RC questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# (P#) - brief description of stimulus."
I am looking to start an in person study group in Tucson. Comment if you are interested or have any questions, thanks!
Hi, so I have a Wrong Answer Journal and I now have around 162 questions that I have jotted down for LR
I’m wondering how I can go about efficiently redoing these questions being that there is soo many other questions I have not done yet that I may even get wrong after a PT.
I'm just overwhelmed with trying to redo them and getting them right the next go around. And the more drills and PT I do the more I add creating a backlog. Any tips?
#help
I have just been watching the videos so far, but I was wondering when I should start doing the practice drills with the videos? Or is it better to watch all the videos before drilling?
Hi!!
I feel like I am not understanding fully how to properly utilize the wrong answer journal. I dont know if this makes sense but I do not see how I will improve with it nor do I feel I know what to put on the "How can I change my process to do better on these in the future?" portion. I was hoping someone could explain to me and possible give me an example of how it has worked for them? Thank you so much!!
Hey guys, so I graduated undergrad about 2 years ago, and a majority of my classes ended up being online at the time due to Covid, although I have already emailed a few Professors I had in person asking if they would be willing to write me one, I have gotten denied. At this point I feel really stuck and Im not sure what to do. I could ask an old boss but I have only worked retail jobs during my gap year or didnt work at all. Any advice? Is it possible to apply without any letters? I know its a stretch but im freaking out.
My study scheduler does not take into account the lessons i have already learned or the prep tests i have already taken. Is there a way to create a study schedule that does take into account these things?
Hi all,
There's a lot of study groups out there for people in different parts of the U.S. and beyond that that are studying for the November LSAT.
Does anyone want to join me in creating a Pacific Time study group? Maybe people that can already meet at similar times so we're not spending too much time figuring out dates/times and can just get to material?
I am available almost all Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays between 2pm and 7pm Pacific Time. Let me know if anyone is available during those times and we can make a study group via GroupMe! We can start next week!
Let me know!
Hey is anyone coming across an issue where their videos are not loading for the lectures and it says due to their server?
Is there any way to look at analytics of both obsolete tests and the new format on one graph? I just took my first Preptest under the new format and now I only see the modern preptest version, whereas I've taken like 12 preptests in the obsolete version #help
Based on recent tests and how 7sage grades question difficulty, does anyone know what the average (mean) question difficulty would be around? My guess would be around 3 (medium) but I am curious if anyone knows for sure.
