CCv1 vs CCv2

Hello! I am debating if I should do the CCv1 or CCv2 and was wondering if anyone had any experiences switching. Apparently, the Core Curriculum v2 (beta) contains 84 hours of lessons, whereas the Core Curriculum v1 has over 217 hours of lessons. So I didn't know if I would be missing out on a lot of content by doing the CCv2. For references, I just started studying and made it through the Foundations of the CCv1and just started the LR. LSAT in November.

My thoughts are that the November test will allow me to become familiar with the testing center (the physical environment) as well as the time constraints and noise that is hard to replicate 100% by myself just to be on the safe side. The con is the admissions committee viewing a cancelled score unfavorably on my application, and potential waste of time and resources. I plan to take the January test after studying hard for 2 months. Thank you so much in advance for your responses!

logic games

Just when I thought I was out for the logic games, J.Y pulled me back in! his explanations are so addictive. Having a masters in pure mathematics is even worst because I like this stuff.

In person

I'm taking the lsat in-person next week and was wondering if anyone has any advice on what I should take aside from an ID?

Do i need to bring my own scrap paper and pencils or do they provide it?

Need some guidance

So I just got my score for this October LSAT. Got a 150 after having spent the last 4 ish months PTing around 160-166. To say i'm quite devastated is an understatement but I'm going to chalk it up as a really bad fluke because I kind of let the nerves get to me on test day. I guess I just want some advice on what people do to help them on their actual test days to get their scores to mirror what they're actually capable of. Also, I'm scheduled to take January as the schools I'm applying to all accept the January test as the latest and my applications are already submitted. Is this going to hinder my chances of getting in anywhere because I understand admissions are on a rolling basis. Do you guys think they'll truly wait on my January score if it says thats the latest they'll accept?

What happened to the old check box for the Modern Preptests where it discarded the extra section? There used to be a selection box for this option when taking full preptests... Just took PT91 for example and it made me do all 4 sections. I thought there used to be an option to cut out the extra section.

Weakening Questions HELP

Hi. I have been doing weakening questions on and off about a month and I just cannot seem to get the hang of it. I usually get like 50-60% right on any set I do. Sometimes I make the wrong jump in the answer choices and I would really appreciate some tips and tricks you guys use that have helped you.

Does anyone else struggle with LG way more than LR and RC? I significantly improved on those sections, but I haven’t improved much on LG. It’s the one section that’s REALLY holding me back. So, I have a some questions.

For the games you have trouble with:

-How many times do you repeat them?

-How long do you wait between each repeat?

-When do you start timing yourself?

-When do you expect to get the game done in target time?

-More broadly, what is your LG study process?

My process is as follows:

I’m working on In/Out games right now. I’ll do the problem set on my own untimed. I’ll then watch the explanation video and set the game up like JY. I’ll compare my notations and diagramming to his. I’ll then rework the game question by question using the new setup. I’ll attempt each question again by myself and then watch JY explain it. After this, I’ll table the game for 1-2 days and then try it again on my own. It will be better at this point, but I usually don’t hit the target time.

Is this process effective? Is there anything I could do differently?

Hi everyone,

I was hoping if anyone can give me some clarity on a situation I am in.

I am applying to Law School right now with the goal of getting in for next September (Fall 2024). I am Canada based so a lot of my applications are actually due tonight (Nov 1st).

I wrote the Oct LSAT and I just got the score back today and I got a 154. This is OK, but I would like to aim for a higher score. I will be scheduling to write again in January, as that is the latest possible score most schools I am applying to take.

My situation is that I don't necessarily want the schools I am applying to, to consider this October score, and would prefer if they wait until my January score. I have the ability to cancel the score, so I don't know if I should cancel it, or is there some way to reach out to the schools and tell them to wait on my decision for a future score? I'm just unsure because I know sometimes a cancelled score can be considered a bad look, but I know I can work harder and do much better in January so I also think it might be worth it to take that risk.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys! :)

Because the v.2 CC is a lot shorter, according to my study schedule I would be finished months earlier than my intended test date (August 2024) I don't want to step back and stop studying just so my study schedule lines up with my test date (taking it in Aug b/c no logic games, so I don't want to take it sooner either) so what is best to do with this major amount of extra time?

LG Section Version 2

Can you please bring back the Logic Games section in version2? I understand the new LSAT does not have Logic Games after August, however I think that this is a disservice to those taking the LSAT before August. I'm taking the November LSAT and was relying on the Version 2 lessons, and now my study schedule has been interrupted as a result. It was brought back then removed again. Version 2 is shorter than Version 1, I do not have the time to go through Version 1. Please let me know if you can help!

Apologize in advance for the number of "should I cancel?" posts likely to arise after the score release yesterday, but I haven't been able to find any direction for my specific scenario. After taking the test in September and receiving a 169, I just received a 165 on the October exam. I completely understand that these are both great scores, but, given my situation and family obligations, I really need to strive for every single dollar I can possibly receive from law schools to alleviate the financial burden.

Question is - Do you think it would be smart to cancel the 165, given that I already have a higher score? Or is it not worth it with respect to how admissions officers will generally view a cancellation? Any help would be highly appreciated. Taking the test again next week and hoping/planning to score in the mid-170s.

Hi. Its been over a year since I first went through the LR part of the 7Sage Curriculum and I have taken time away from studying in the interim. I am going to take the LSAT again to try to up my score, as I've taken a few PTs recently and scored 2-5 points higher than I used to score, consistently - trying to get every last scholarship dollar available.

I've spent most of my time since resuming studying working on LGs, but recently as I've started to work on grouping and in/out LGs, I've realized that I need some help going back over translating words into logic language, especially when dealing with negations, negative, or double negatives. Could someone point me to where in the 7Sage Curiculum I could get a quick crash course on logic translations for "or", "not both", and just basic logic translations to get me back on track as quickly as possible. I'm hoping to get back on track rather quickly and knock this (hopefully) final attempt of the LSAT out of the park.

How would I calculate mine? Would someone be willing to help me. My general GPA wasn’t very great.

If I knew I wanted to go to law school in undergrad I would have stuck around longer to raise my cumulative before I graduated.

I had a mental health crisis one semester in undergrad due to a bad reaction to antidepressant medication, and tried to petition my university to remove them off my transcript with no luck.

I’m hoping my CAS gpa is better.

Should I give up? :(

After 1 year+ of studying for the LSAT, I feel devastated. I just recieved my October LSAT score - 162. In January I got 162 (cancelled) -> 160 in September (cancelled) -> and now 162 again. I thought I could get at least a 165 and feel at a loss because clearly I haven't been studying right for the past year.

I am almost done with my law school applications and intend to apply in the next two weeks. Is it even worth registering for the January LSAT? I'm not sure how much I could improve by then and it would more be for the purpose of having a better score if I was waitlisted or for scholarships... Also, I'm abroad currently so can only take the January international exam.

I am SO done with this awful exam. BTW I am a split scorer - 3.92 GPA and 162 LSAT. I want to get into a T14/20.

What do I do now? Should I just give up and apply with my 162 and hope for the best? I genuinely don't know how I can improve and I just feel like I can't get this test right.
