August Retest

After filing a complaint, I was presented with an option to retest this weekend. I was wondering if the score release date is different for people who retest than those who took the original exam at the start of the month?

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how I can see what the difficulty rating of a section is without taking the entire PT. At this point I've only seen the rating under Analytics after taking the PT. But I want to be able to review the difficulty of the section and then decide to take it so I can target harder sections for my drills. The resource doesn't have to be specifically on 7sage.

Thank you,

On the LSAT, there can be 4 logic games. There are 4 general categories of logic games: Sequencing, Grouping, In-Out, and Miscellaneous.

Is it safe to assume there will be one game from each of these categories on the LSAT? Or could it be the case that you might have 2 sequencing games, 1 Grouping, 1 In-Out, 0 misc.? or something like that

August Test Takers

I have been hearing horror stories about the remote testing option. I plan on doing the remote test in September. Did you anyone experience difficulties or is the bad experiences getting blown out of proportion?

Hi everyone! I am currently working on applications for Columbia, Northwestern, U Chicago, U Michigan, and U Virginia. I wanted to reach out to the 7sage community to see if anyone knew of recent graduates or current students attending these law schools, as being able to speak to someone actually attending would allow me to gain better insight into what going to law school there actually looks like!

Stand Up Desk?

Hello! I am signed up for the September test. I do not have accommodations to stand, nor do I want to stand during my test, however I have a stand up desk that has a button that will make it go in standing mode. From all of the nightmares coming from the August test I am a bit nervous my desk will get me in trouble. First world problems I know. Does anyone have an opinion of this? I contacted LSAC and Prometric but I believe with all the test drama they are busy.

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone has advice to address a gap in my resume. I separated from the military in April but due to my husband also being active duty and us currently being stationed overseas I did not apply for any jobs. We were originally supposed to move back to the states in July which is the main reason why I didn't apply for jobs but his unit just extended our tour another year. I plan on applying for jobs not that we are staying longer but I will still have the gap. During those three months I focused on healing (I was medically separated) and studying for the LSAT. I plan on adding an addendum to my resume to explain the gap but I'm nervous it might affect my chances of getting into my school of choice. Any advice, or just some reassurance that the gap won't affect my chances too severely would be really helpful.

Hi all.

I need some advice with my study plan.

I have recently finished CC after 5 months of studying; I was only able to study 3 hours daily since I work full time.

Currently I manage to do the 1 or 2 PT(s) per week;

I understand that I would need to focus on Pting with more later version as nearing the actual Test date.

But I wonder if it makes much change(ie. starting from old Pts vs. skip old Pts, use it only for drilling and do newer Pts) at this stage because I presume that whether those PTs are old or new, they are testing the same fundamentals/principles.

Any suggestions?

I would appreciate any advice/comment.

If I'm running out of time, and I have some Main Conclusions questions, is it wise to just find the MC, and then to stop reading the stimulus immediately, so that I can find the answer, or is it a better idea to at least skim the rest of the stimulus and then look for the right answer? I do the former, but something about that feels wrong, like if I just only read until the MC, I'm missing something.

I was thinking if 7sage can change the way they edit these videos for these earlier LSAT questions. Is it possible for these newer tutors to just do explanation like JY? I don't really find myself focusing listening to other students ask questions.. the videos seem to become really lengthy.. I feel like my money is not being well spent? not in an offensive way but I would like to achieve as much as I can through 7sage and not go searching for other explanations on internet. Idk what other people think about this

Harder LR Questions

Hi!

I've consistently been noticing that when I get near the end of an LR section I miss the last 5-6 questions. I'm not sure how to improve from here. Is anyone else having this issue? It may be because of the difficulty of the last few questions because I struggle with them even when I go back to review. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach the last few question in an LR section?

I am applying to law schools this season and gathering my letters of recommendation. I was wondering if it would be better to have someone who knows me better and directly supervised me during my work at an NGO but has no legal background write my recommendation or if it would be beneficial to have someone with a legal background who I didn't work directly under write one for me? I could definitely meet with them and discuss some of my qualifications and skills but I'm not sure if it would be super specific and helpful for the law school admissions teams. Then again, having an LOR from a legal professional could be a really strong boost to my application. Could I possibly have them cosign an LOR?

My university hands out A+ (on official transcripts) but it's counted as a 4.0 and counts it the same as an A. When LSAC does my CAS report, will they count the A+ on my transcript as a 4.33 or use my school's grading guidelines and still mark it as 4.0?

I got this question wrong on the first try and on the blind review by choosing C.

After a closer look, I understand why E is the correct answer. For those that selected E on the first try, can you help me understand why you eliminated C?

Writing Section August

If I write my writing section after I take the LSAT next week will that delay me getting my scores back the day they says scores are released? (August 30th)? I need to see my score to see if I will be retaking in October and August 30th is the last day to register for October? I am trying to prioritize my studying this week and not focus on the writing.

Most of the claims I see have only 1 concept, not 2 main ideas/events. So, when it comes to "Step 2) Identify the two main concepts (or groups, categories, events or ideas)" in a claim, such as "Each and every member of the Q continuum is omnipotent", I don't see the 2 main concepts/ideas/events.

PLS HELP me understand: I don't see 2 main ideas/events, I see 1. So I'm thinking about step 2 wrong ---HOW can I think about step 2 so that no matter the claim I can see the 2 main ideas/events clearly? (especially one's that only resemble 1 idea, such as the one above or "The only monkeys are the one’s that live in trees")

Hello All!

I was hoping someone could help clarify a questions that I have.

I would like to apply to law school as early in the cycle as possible (not early admissions). I took the August LSAT and was hoping to use that score for apps but I don't think it was at the score range I would have liked granted all the technical issues. If I were to use my August score to apply but make a note that I am planning on retaking the test in January, would my applications still be counted as if I applied early in the cycle or as if I were applying in January since that is when the score would be updating?

Thank you!
