Audio Learning tools

I was wondering if anyone had any good resources for audio learning. I currently have a job where I'll be a road warrior, and figure I might as well be learning about the LSAT on the road (if any such resource even exists). If anyone has information on podcasts, or other audio learning materials, please let me know!

In the Core curriculum, we are told that for the purposes of formal logic, we are to interpret "or" as inclusive, because that's how the LSAT wants us to think. Is this also the default in law?

I'm not looking for legal advice. I saw this issue come to a head at my job where I currently work as a paralegal, and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or musings on this subject.

Here is the rule in question (in relevant part)

Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(B) states:

.... this disclosure must be accompanied by a written report prepared and signed by the witness or a disclosure signed by counsel for the party. The report must contain: ..."

One side argued that it was improper for the other party to submit both a written report prepared and signed by the witness AND a disclosure signed by counsel for the party.

Is there any general rule of logic that would allow a person to interpret the "or" in the statute as inclusive?

After completing PT94 and a couple drills I noticed I'm unable to access the Explanation videos. The explanation button is instead replaced by a discuss button. I switched browsers and cleared the cache as instructed in a similar post experiencing the same issue but nothing has fixed it.

How to unpin questions

Hi, I'm restarting studying for the LSAT again, and I had this list of pinned questions for logical reasoning.

I was wondering how I can unpin all of those questions so I can sort of start fresh? Is there a way to unpin all by deleting history or do I have to go through all of them manually?

Thank you.

Hey guys! So my first test will be in April and I am a little confused. So, there will be a registration that comes out a few weeks before that allows you to select a date and time? Do you also select the location there? I have been approved for accommodations that are best served in person and not online, so is this not guaranteed? Finally, I know this may sound dumb but I am very paranoid about this whole process lol-are there guaranteed to be enough spots for those signed up for the April LSAT or is there a chance I get in the que too late and am SOL. Thanks!

Study Schedule?

Hi!

I am wondering if others are solely using the 7Sage Syllabus and going through all of the lessons as their only studying type? I also have the PowerScore Bibles + LSAT Trainer - but I am unsure the best way to integrate resources to maximize my studying/learning experience.

How do you use the resources to maximize your learning?!

Last LSAT Attempt

Last attempt for this cycle.

150 -> 155 -> 159.

I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.

Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.

Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?

I scored 155 in October on the Official LSAT, never scored higher than 156 on PTs prior. I have only been on 7sage for 3 weeks, since I decided to test again. I watch the videos while I crochet, it's that simple, and I have gained so much understanding about the LSAT compared to before subscribing. It's truly insane. I am taking the LSAT again in January, and I am so excited/amazed to have broke 170s this morning, with a 171PT. Can't stop, won't stop, til January LSAT! Thank you 7Sage!

Hi everyone. I am not entirely sure where to post this so I am posting this here. I was going through the RC lessons on V2 because I am planning on taking the test post-LG and I thought it looked a bit bare It only had explanations for science passages. When I looked at V1 I saw tons of material that doesn't show up on V2. I am not sure how difficult it is to fix but it would be greatly appreciated if I could look at the other RC material without having to use V1.

This is only my second week using 7sage and I am loving it so far!

HELP! I am continuously scoring 151 on preptests, and my blind review score is 163. I have gone through all of PowerScore materials, all of 7Sage, and have even met with a tutor for many hours. How do I improve my score by the January test? Why do I keep scoring 151? Any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I've waited so long to post this. Never give up, there is always hope.

TLDR;

Graduated Undergrad in 2016 - 2.49 GPA.

Got introduced to LAW from a friend and as I did research I fell in love with the field.

Started Studying for LSAT in Sept 2018

1st test - Jan 2019 - 137

2nd test - July 2019 - 145

3rd test - June 2023 - 152

LSAC GPA 2.35

I decided it was time to apply because I knew I couldn't do better then 152, plus I did not have the money to pay for a tutor and I'm 31, so I don't have time to keep studying. I got a family to take care of.

I submitted my applications on Sept 1st.

I got my first Acceptance to a part time program in October with a 50% Merit Scholarship. Ranked 100+ Law school with a pretty decent bar pass rate.

I got denied by the worst law school in the United States - Cooley (Honestly, this was the school I was hoping to get into if no other school accepted me, it was my final option, even if the school is terrible)

I got waitlisted to a law school that is ranked in top 100.

Waiting to hear back from 2 more law schools.

Main point - NEVER GIVE UP. I have worked so hard to reach this point. Look at my stats.... I got into LAW SCHOOL with a Merit Scholarship.

I got denied by the worst law school and that is totally fine because another school saw my potential.

Please don't doubt yourselves. Keep working hard and everything will fall into place.

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!

I took J.Y.'s advice and decided to look into meditation for a better mindset for the LSAT. No doubt does low-confidence and anxiety affect your test score; I truly believe that calming down my racing thoughts and incorporating positive self-talk before taking practice tests has helped me tremendously! This meditation exercise is PHENOMENAL...not overly cheesy, and it's geared towards a focused mindset (which I desperately need during RC lol).

Even if you're skeptical, I suggest listening and trying it, because it could result in an unexpected score increase like it did for me! I plan on using this right before signing onto ProctorU on test day as well. Good luck to everyone!!

I've been using 7sage for almost a year and this is the first I encounter this problem. The video just keeps loading but won't change to the play button. But only for PT69 LR19 to 25, other PTs and Qs worked when I checked. Also, they worked when I tried to play them on my phone, so I am not sure what is going on...

I tried everything that's been said on this forum:

    Hey Everyone I am A 5th Grade Science Teacher in the Dallas Area. I am studying for the February LSAT and would love a Study group that is willing to meet in person to go over some Practice Sets/ Practice Tests/ And specific question Types. I am Striving for 165+ with Two months remaining. I am available Mon-Friday from 4 pm-9 pm and weekends are flexible I am currently in hyperdrive right now and have a lot of studying to do to be able to achieve my goal. I am just looking for some students who are serious about working and would like to tackle this task together.

    Hello everyone,

    I am looking for some tough advice at this point. I have been prepping for the January LSAT for about 4 months now, and have got one month left to go before I take the test. My goal score is 170, and I am currently testing at an average of163 timed, 170 BR, although I have gotten a 171 on PT 55 timed. All other timed tests are at about 160-165. What can I do to reach my goal score by January? For some background, I have the luxury this month to dedicate as many hours a day as I want to test prep, and this is my only focus for the next 30 days. I'm taking some time off work, and I've already finished my undergraduate year 4 fall semester.

    I am familiar with all of the core curriculum on 7sage, and have read the PowerScore books as well. I would say my weakest section is reading comprehension. Sometimes I can get a -3 or -4 on the section, other times I get a -9 or -10 and I can't figure out why. I average about -4 on LR and -0 to -4 on LG. Because of the inconsistencies on my practice tests, I am looking for any tips on how I can achieve my goal, and be brutal! I am willing to do whatever it takes.

    I guess I really struggle with RC because I find it so boring, lol (i know, who doesn't). I also have a tendency to overestimate how well I have done, and when I get a score back that is lower than what I wanted, I feel like my confidence gets shaken. I am already aware that I have to really spend the time doing BR and not get frustrated, but I guess I'm looking for some concrete methods than you guys can recommend to me!

    Hello, I'm looking for people to hold each other accountable to a regular schedule and to work through PTs/Practice Sets. I'm West Coast and work full time so I will only be available >6pm PST. I'm planning to use Discord which you can add me on as Azimoth#0071 or DM me for a link to the server (I don't want too many people randomly joining who won't be active).

    Here's an outline of the study plan I was thinking:

    Monday: Take a [time] Practice Set whenever you want, then we discuss what we missed later.

    PT70 S1 (LR), 7:00pm review (what I'm doing this week)

    Tuesday: TESTING TUESDAY! Take a [timed] PT with simulated flex whenever you want during this day.

    Full Practice Test, PT87 (Simulate Flex) (what I'm doing this week)

    Wednesday: Go over what we missed on the Practice Test from the day before.

    PT87 review, 7:00pm (what I'm doing this week)

    Thursday: Take a [time] Practice Set whenever you want, then we discuss what we missed later.

    PT70 S2(RC), 7:00pm review. (what I'm doing this week)

    Friday: day off

    Saturday/Sunday: Take a [untimed] Practice Set together and talk through our thought process

    PT70 S3 (LG). Work together, untimed. Time TBD

    The next week will follow a similar schedule, working up in practice set numbers and down in practice test numbers so that by the April LSAT we'll more or less have covered the 20 most recent prep tests. We'll also rotate which section we do together so that we'll have experience doing each section type alone, and with each other.

    Help with LR

    I've been studying this site for over a year and I consistently get only half right on LR. There is no specific question type that I have an issue with but it's all up and down the board. Each test is a new group of question types wrong, so right when I think I have something mastered I don't. What can I do to get about 18 right instead of 12 right consistently?
