UFO's Question

I chose C because I thought it would be strengthening the argument by suggesting there is suspicion of extraterrestrial life and the government is withholding information because they are hiding the truth. The only reason I didn't choose B because of the only if statement. Can someone explain why C is incorrect please.

I got 155 on my cold PT and scored 173 on the August 2023 LSAT. My goal was to score anywhere above 170 so I am very satisfied. I'm glad I went through my entire LSAT journey with 7Sage. The core curriculum, blind review, PT analytics, and tutoring all worked out for me.

I especially want to thank and recommend my tutor @"bailey.luber". I was stuck in the mid-160s for quite a while and her advice for drilling and mindset really helped me have breakthroughs. I only had 5 hours of tutoring but she was very approachable, always there to check in on me, and always gave me detailed, thoughtful, and effective advice that applied perfectly to my situation. There were times when I wanted to quit due to score plateau and studying alone as an international student, but my tutor has been a huge source of support and encouragement.

Thank you 7Sage!

Hi everyone! I am looking to restudy for my LSAT I took the LSAT in 2017 and decided I to get my masters from NYU in Global Affairs rather than law school. I am now on the road back to law school and looking to take my LSAT either in Nov. or Jan depending on what my diagnostic scores are ranging.

My goal is to crunch for the November LSAT to get into a January start program but that might change depending on my school choices!

I also think a GC would help and scheduled study dates to help hold each other accountable for LSAT studying!

Discussion Title: Study Group/ Accountability Group

👥 Study Group Name:

🔢 I'm currently scoring: NA

THANK YOU! 150 --> 171

A big fat sincere Thank You to everybody who makes discussion posts and comments on JY's lessons. I swear I've read hundreds of them that made me laugh or helped me understand questions. You guys are the unsung heroes. You helped me get through hundreds and hundreds of hours of question review. Keep it up and don't forget, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage". Just wanted to say thanks

Just some motivation for those who are starting out - my initial diagnostic was 158, and I just scored 172 in my most recent PT. Here are my scores and dates:

I used

Khan Academy (in July at first)

PowerScore (August)

7Sage (September)

I switched to 7Sage from PowerScore because I found the explanations for the questions I got wrong either missing or incomplete, so I kind of had to just figure it out myself which I think has hindered my progress. Here's proof that you can do it!!!!!

Hey Everyone!

LSAC has provided updates on the following:

◉Limits on Repeating the LSAT

LSAC has introduced a new test-taking limit policy starting in August 2023. This change, however, will only impact a small group—less than 1% of all LSAT takers. Under this new policy, you can take the LSAT five times in the current score reporting period (i.e., since June 2018) and up to seven times over a lifetime.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Limits on Repeating the Test

◉LSAT Test Taking Schedule

As you may know, there were difficulties with remote proctoring during the first weekend of the August LSAT. To make up for it, LSAC added an extra testing day for the September LSAT. They've also introduced two additional testing dates each for both October and November this year. These additions won't impact the score release.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Upcoming LSAT Dates

◉Prelaw Success Live Events

Should I cancel my score?

I took the LSAT for the first time in August and scored a 156. I am retaking in October and applying for Fall 2024. Should I cancel or keep my score? My problem was timing as I ran out of time on the test. I am confident that I can improve my October score by increasing my speed. My fear is that if I cancel this score and do not do well in October that I will be screwed when it comes to getting my application in this cycle. Any advice?

Hey guys I’m sorta new to 7Sage and I’m working through the Foundations lessons right now. I wanna make the most of my study time and Live Classes package, but there are so many classes available (and even more in the live classes library) I don’t even know how to chose or what to start with? It seems like my personalized study schedule, so far, doesn’t interact with the live classes and that you have to take it upon yourself to work them into your studying. What classes or series of classes or teachers would you recommend starting with, and how did you work them into your syllabus?

I graduated from undergrad in the spring of 2021. I planned on attending law school the following fall put then ultimately came to the conclusion that I was not ready financially nor emotionally. Now I am planning on attending law school in the fall of 2024. Back when I planned on attending law school in the fall of 2021, I requested my transcript and it was processed in the LSAC system as it existed in that point in time (which was in December and therefore did not include my final semester grades). Do I need to request another transcript that includes my final semester grades? I feel silly for asking this question and my intuition screams "oh course you do, you idiot!!" but I did not seeing anything on the LSAC website addressing this issue. So I would like to confirm here: do I need to re-request my transcript? Thanks in advance!

Do the law school essays change from year to year usually? I am not applying this cycle but trying to plan when to leave my job. Will I not be able to start writing my supplemental essays until September most likely? Or will this year likely serve as a good base?

Prewriting Essays

I was advised by a recent law grad to pre-write all of the optional essays for schools before their application opens. Because of the recent SCOTUS decision, I'm guessing a lot of those essays are going to be shifting around. I'm applying to a large amount of schools and working a full-time job, and I'm concerned that if I don't pre-write I will be swamped and won't be able to write all of the essays.

Is pre-writing something that is even a thing in the law admissions process? And if so, how do we go about doing it?

I need clarify on what the complete and accurate list question is really asking for.

Should I consider all solutions across the entire game, for example "complete and accurate list for all entities which can occupy space 3?" Here I might consider all possible solutions across different "worlds" for each game.

Or does LSAC want all possibilities within a "world" for the game, ex/ in a grouping game in which you group entities into groups a, b, c. Within a specific solution only 3 variables could go there, but across all worlds maybe 4 could go there?

In Person - October

I am planning on taking in person in October. For August, there was a specific day where we scheduled our test time and date online using the Prometric site. Have they released what day that is for the October test? I have not seen an email about it.

Practice Test Question

Hello out there!

I just started working through the program and have a question on taking practice tests.

It seems the prevailing wisdom is to go through a majority of the 7Sage training before taking any practice tests.

Is there any value in taking one at the beginning of training to establish a baseline?

Thanks in advance!!

Study Group

Hello,

I just joined 7sage and I'm looking to study with some people. It's always helpful to bounce off ideas from other people and get different prospective on the test. If there is one currently going on please let me know or we can start a new one. I'm pretty flexible. Thank you!!!!!

pre-1st LSAT terror

This LSAT stuff just got super real for me, thinking about Sunday is giving me nothing but mental paralysis and heart palpitations, suddenly feeling like I've been kidding myself thinking I can do this. Any bravery/tips would be most appreciated.

Has anyone figured out when "complete and accurate" means complete and accurate for any one individual game board (PT 43, S4, Q18) vs. when it means complete and accurate across all possibilities across all game boards (PT 43, S4, Q15)? Its a stupid mistake that often causes me to lose an obvious point.
