How review LR and Plateau

Hello,

I have studying for couple months now but I'm not seeing any improvement with LR. The most I can answer in that section is until question 17th. My score have been constantly 8/17 and 11/17 after BR based on just what I answered. I believe my review hasn't been effective. I do have a wrong answer journal and redo questions sometimes. Sometimes I get them right and sometime I get them wrong again. How can I review LR effectively and improve? Any advice pleasseeeeeeeeeee

Hi there!

I am in search of a study buddy, preferably in the SF Bay Area. My ultimate goal score is a 170 but I would be more than happy to settle for a 165. My average score is 157 with my highest score being a 160 and lowest being a 155. I would love to find someone who has been scoring similarly so that we can hold each other accountable to study and discuss missed questions to reinforce the logic.

A bit about me, I work as a paralegal in immigration law. I plan on pursuing a Masters in Human Rights and Democratization in Europe before starting law school but I want to take the LSAT now since LG is my best section. My dream school is UT Austin and I have already decided to apply ED.

Please let me know if you would be interested in studying together. :)

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official November 2023 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the November 2023 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, November 14th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  • The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  • Good luck to everyone taking the November 2023 LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the November 2023 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Taking the November LSAT?

    Taking an LSAT later and want to get a feel for the remote proctoring?

    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/tZ0oce2upz0jG9d76Ez4IiDjbFEI8Msi34BG.

    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 comment below or email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

    Can someone let me if I did this question correctly? don't even know how to think normal anymore

    This is a nasty question and I would appreciate it if anyone could let me know if my approach was correct.

    For a set of 50 sterilization equipment made of nylon, it requires 3.4x the energy it takes to manufacture.

    For stainless steel it requires 2.1 the energy it takes to manufacture

    If it requires 100 watts to manufacture nylon, it takes 340 to sterilize the 50 set

    If it requires 100 watts manufacture SS, it takes 210 to sterilize a set of 50

    A is wrong because it makes a mistake of trying to compare the two. If it takes 200 watts to manufacture SS, the it would require 410 for the set of 50.

    B is deadly confusing. I took a nap and came back to it. If it takes 340 to sterilize a set of 50, the it takes 6.8 watts for each complete sterilization (340/50 = 6.8). If I'm still sticking with 100 watts as a requisite to manufacture my nylon instruments, with an s, there it no way it requires more energy for each complete sterilization that it requires to manufacture the nylon instruments, with an s.

    C. I don't even know why this is wrong. I was thinking this has to be false because the stimulus tells us it's 50.

    D. This could be true because either one could require more energy.

    E. Nobody mentioned cost. It felt good to call an answer "out of scope." Felt like I'm finally speaking LSAT language.

    Can someone help me if my think on B is on track. Also, how do I eliminate C

    0

    The correct choice was B, I selected D. I found this statement really difficult to understand and even my BR took a while to do so if anyone can offer helpful tips on how they approached this question that would be greatly appreciated.

    My reason for selecting the answer choice I did was because I made an assumption in the archaeologist's argument, I also confused myself with the grammar inside the stimulus.

    This is how I am now understanding the question:

    Treasure Hunter: Because of the rule, treasure hunters are entitled to what they retrieve since they are risking their lives. Since the rule applies, the ship is in peril. This condition must be met for the rule to apply.

    Archeologist: They are not entitled to what they retrieve, the shipwrecks are stablized, the only danger they are exposed to is that of previous archaeologists and therefore are not in peril (implicitly stated). They are not in peril because for the rule to be met this condition must also be met, in this case it is not.

    What they disagree about is whether or not the ship is in peril (B)

    TH says this rule can be applied to a sunken ship. Implicitly saying that it is still in peril

    A says nothing about the rule and only speaks about whether the treasure hunters are actually entitled to the artifacts or not. But since they are not entitled to the artifacts, the ship is not in peril.

    (D) is incorrect because:

    TH: agrees with the statement by saying even though they have sunk, treasure hunters are still entitled to what they discover because they risk their lives

    A: Though they still risk their lives, they are only risking their lives because of other treasure hunters, not because the ship is in peril. But they make no mention about whether maritime law can be applied

    What To Use

    Hey everyone I'm trying to begin prepping and learning but I don't know where to start. I can't just take practice exams without having learned anything. What resources do you guys recommend me to start with to learn the material itself?

    0

    OOF. I decided since I have no clue if my score is going to be worthwhile, I am fully committing myself to the January LSAT. I have been fortunate to not have a job and am starting a position (finally the degree is paying off after 5 months of searching).

    Not sure if anybody else is in the same boat, but that score release date being a day before January stresses me out. Also on a totally selfish note... February is my birthday month.... so I want to be done LOL.

    At least my writing is officially accepted and over with. Shout out to my professor in college for giving exams sooooooo similar to the format that I just needed a refresh & overview rather than intensive study sessions.

    How vital is it to have more than 2 letters of rec if a school takes up to 4? I've heard that if the school takes 4, you should submit 3. I have another recommender in mind but he would not be able to complete my letter until beginning of next year, so would it be better to submit my application with 2 letters earlier, or wait for 3?

    Hey everyone I am scoring at 150, but I want to get a 165 does anyone have any good suggestions for improving reading comprehension I usually get 12-14 correct on these sections.

    I’m not sure when I should write the Lsat? I’m working full time and my aim is 2 hours a day (14 hours a week). I was aiming for April, and I would be able to take two weeks off ahead of the test. Or should I aim for June in which case I could probably take closer to 2 months off?

    Or should I write in April, and keep peeping for June while waiting for the result?

    Thoughts….

    Trouble with LSAC Account

    Hello everyone!

    When I started with 7Sage I recall making a LSAC account and perhaps paying some additional money through 7Sage to LSAC get access to official test questions and such. However when I now attempt to log in to my LSAC account to link it to my 7Sage account, it tell me that there is no account associated with my email address.

    Anyone have a solution or any insight?

    Thanks!

    Meeting With Admissions

    Do you think it's best to meet with admission before or after submitting your application?

    As a splitter, I am curious to see if it makes sense to bring that up before or send my app and schedule my meeting for the day after.

    This past weekend, I took the Nov LSAT (first time). I'm also planning to take the Jan LSAT but not sure what my study schedule should look like leading up to the test. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I am anxious to see my LSAC GPA, the 7sage calculator shows a substantial increase because of my community college grades. This new GPA opens up doors that were otherwise closed. I don't want to get my hopes up until I see the academic report. I don't plan on applying until October 2024. All I have sent are my transcripts could I still purchase CAS??

    Guys, I am freaking out. I took the Nov. 9th LSAT at a test center, and used my military ID with no issue. It is my only photo ID that has my married name on it, since I just legally changed my name a few months ago. Since I didn't actually test virtually, I wasn't aware that I can't take a picture of my military ID that has my legal name, so I had to submit a picture of my license for writing-- which has my maiden name on it. I created the account with my maiden name (literally in my username), and since I am in another state for military for another year, it is almost impossible for me to go back to my home state just to change my dl. My passport says my maiden name too, since I got it in 2019; my passport and license don't even expire for several years. I emailed LSAC a picture of my mil. ID anyways because I am so worried and upset that my writing might be cancelled or hinder my test because of this small discrepancy. Has anyone had a similar situation? What should I do? The LSAC rep. I just spoke to was rude and unhelpful. I really hope the email with my other ID will be enough; I legit still have my old SSN too with my maiden name. Ugh!

    I missed the July 23 deadline to register for the September LSAT and now have to take it in November. Assuming I apply with a 3.89 GPA (from an OK state school) and high 170 LSAT score, what are my chances of getting into a T14 law school, specifically a T3? Are my chances significantly worse? Should I just wait until next year's June LSAT and take a gap year?

    Thank you

    Drill Timer

    Is there a way to make the drill timer cut you off at 35 minutes when doing a full section-length drill?

    First Gen: 135 to 170

    Hi guys, I'm a first-generation student. I took a diagnostic the other day and scored 135 (without any prior studying). Although I've been feeling discouraged, I am giving myself 6 months before I take my first real LSAT. Is it possible to expect/score this high with this amount of time? Do you guys have any tips for self-studying?
