I need help deciding on a school! My deadline to accept (provisionally or firmly) uOttawa is tomorrow, but if I accept there, my acceptance from Osgoode will be cancelled. I'm not sure what to do. I know Osgoode is ranked much higher, but I'm nervous about living there. My career ambitions are to go into the government/human rights/non-profit/humanitarian/international development sector(s), and I simply don't know what to do. Maybe I could transfer schools if I end up not liking it? I'm so nervous! I have also yet to hear back from UBC or McGill, and I have a deferral from UVIC. Please help (in a gentle way, I'm quite fragile at the moment lol).

Edit:

I wanted to add that I would love to make community in law school as I went to a small commuter school in undergrad. I also want to consider the school's abroad program and opportunities for growth. Prestige isn't necessarily the most important thing but I would love to make kind friends and have a lot of opportunities within the subject areas that I want to pursue.

study group needed, if anyone wants join.... A little about myself currently working at summer camp and plan to take the September LSAT. looking for an afternoon group between 7-10pm est.

Hi, I watched the explanation for this question but I still don't understand why D is the correct answer over E -- so if anyone really understands this question may you please explain it to me in a simple way.

Thank you!

For this question, I initially chose answer choice E because the background information really swept me up. My intuition told me that because the passage wrote about all of these other linguistic influences, the answer choice probably had something to do with that. However, upon BR, I ended up going with the correct answer choice A because the first sentence in the passage notes that the nature of English literature reflects... the English language. Thus it follows that the "origin of English," referring to the language, played a role in shaping English literature.

Hi! Should I be following the Syllabus all the way through first then starting the Prep Tests? Or should I be doing them weekly anyways? I'm a little confused on this, any help appreciated!

Hi,

I keep getting stumped with the difference between trivial and non-trivial inferences. I keep going back to the videos and the quizzes, but I can never tell the difference.

How do you guys think about the difference between them?

Was thinking of putting together some study group times, starting with 1-2 times a week and more if needed..if you are interested, put together some days/times that work for you, let's get started.

Hi everyone! I'm planning on taking the LSAT in September, and I'm looking for a group to study with! I recently finished the core curriculum and just started doing PTs (next one is PT 37, which I'm planning to do later this week). I'm hoping to find others who are on a similar schedule- we could meet after taking and BRing PTs to discuss questions we got wrong on both attempts, or just to discuss question types we struggle with, share studying tips, cheer each other on, etc. If you're interested please comment or shoot me a message!!!

Hello!

I'm having some trouble with Flaw questions, and am wondering if anyone has any advice/resource recommendations?

I'm pretty well versed with the many different kinds of logical fallacies. However, I'm weary of how the test makers describe the flaw in the reasoning. E.g. If the author commits a "straw man," I'm unsure how LSAC words/describes that mischaracterization in an AC. Of course, I know our language is complex, and that there are hundreds of different ways to say the same thing (so, how something is worded in one AC, can be worded a different way in another question's AC and mean the same thing)! I see AC's that say "the author takes for granted," "the author fails to consider," etc. and am wondering if anyone knows how to decipher what these different AC's even mean. If the "author takes for granted _____," I'm assuming that LSAC means the flaw is in what the author/argument said/did. If, on the other hand, "the author fails to consider _____," I'm assuming the flaw is something the author/argument didn't say/do.

Has anyone compiled a document with LSAC's different answer choices that best describe different flaws in the reasoning? I've found that sometimes with the explanation videos to flaw questions, the wrong AC's and how LSAC writes them, aren't always described generally/examples of what the wrong AC means aren't always given (e.g. LSAC means by this wording that the argument did this _____, but the argument did this ____, so this AC is wrong). Maybe I've overlooked the curriculum for information on this? I often really overthink these questions, and what the AC is trying to say, and need some #Help!!

Hello future lawyers,

As I have been working through completing many of the drills for RC, I often find that once I complete all the questions and then complete my blind review, that once I go to check my answers for these RC question drills, the only explanation provided for the questions is a "Discuss" option, and that there is no walkthrough of the questions or passage.

Many of these are all older RC questions, and whenever I click "Discuss" it bring me to a blank discussion page with no explanation provided. Not sure if this is something anybody else has noticed. Please let me know why this is and if there is any way to get explanation for these RC practice drills, as this has been making it very hard to see how I can do better while working through these practice questions. Thanks!!

As I am going through the curriculum, I am nervous that I will forget past lessons and skills learned. How can I make sure I am keeping up with every skill as I add more and more to my plate. For example, I am currently on Weakening Questions but I want to make sure I don't forget Logic, MSS Questions, and Main Point Questions. Do I just do practice sets everyday? Or what else?

Hello, I've created a discord for all students taking the August or September 2023 LSAT.

Oftentimes when I watch JY's explanations, I feel like 'wow I never would have made that inference on my own' or I still don't understand at all. So I obviously need work but I'm not sure how to approach my Games practice. When I fool proof, I tend to feel like I'm memorizing and just brain dumping versus practicing and making inferences on my own. I need a 'Games for Dummies' guide-- a really straightforward approach for a neurodiverse brain, as someone who Games are not intuitive whatsoever. I've done the CC and I practice memorizing logic rules a few times a week, so not knowing the basics isn't the issue. I try to set up the games without watching JY's videos and sometimes I do really well--I often solve it using a different approach than JY takes. And sometimes I'm solving 5/5 difficulty on my own and they feel like a breeze. But other times, I get pretty stuck on one of the questions and I end up having to watch the video for support. But when I do that, I feel like I miss out on the practice of making inferences for myself and I really need that practice. Comment if games aren't exactly intuitive for you and tell me what has worked!

Hey team,

For all of those 7Sage team members who have taken the LSAT in the past. Have any of you ever gotten two reading comp sections instead of two logical reasoning sections?

Hi Everyone!

I just completed the Logic Games lessons and now I'm ready to start drilling. I was wondering, how do you all approach drilling? Personally, I'm planning to do four games per day. Here's my routine: I tackle one drill, take a short break, and then watch the explanation. After that, I move on to the second drill, take another break, and watch the explanation. At the end of the day, I revisit both drills.

By the way, I have set the difficulty level of the drills to medium. Do you think that's the right level, or would you recommend a different difficulty?

Can someone help me understand this logic? Why is D the right answer?

The theory of military deterrence was based on a simple psychological truth, that fear of retaliation makes a would-be aggressor nation hesitate before attacking and is often sufficient to deter it altogether from attacking. Clearly, then, to maintain military deterrence, a nation would have to be believed to have retaliatory power so great that a potential aggressor nation would have reason to think that it could not defend itself against such retaliation. If the statements above are true, which one of the following can be properly inferred?

A) A would-be aggressor nation can be deterred from attacking only if it has certain knowledge that it would be destroyed in retaliation by the country it attacks.

B) A nation will not attack another nation if it believes that its own retaliatory power surpasses that of the other nation.

C) One nation’s failing to attack another establishes that the nation that fails to attack believes that it could not withstand a retaliatory attack from the other nation.

D) it is in the interests of a nation that seeks deterrence and has unsurpassed military power to let potential aggressors against it become aware of its power of retaliatory attack.

E) Maintaining maximum deterrence from aggression by other nations requires that a nation maintain a retaliatory force greater than that of any other nation.

Hi all,

I've been using the ProctorU "Test My Equipment" ahead of test day and it keeps telling me my RAM usage is over 95%. I have closed all other applications and google chrome tabs (plus this is a relatively new computer so there is not a lot taking up storage)--not sure what else I can try?! Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Appreciate any tips people have, thanks!!

Hi!

I just took this question and answered E first but then changed to D during blind review because it seemed to me that "colonized" was too much of an inference in this answer. Now that I have seen the correction, I still have troubles understanding why D is incorrect. Is E a better answer because it is a better conclusion to the stimulus? How can I approach these tough MSS questions better? #help

Thank you

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

D must be false because stimulus says that brains of identical twins are genetically identical and its the differences in brain from which we can tell if a twin is Schizo

If we are someone who receives extra time testing accommodations on the LSAT how can we change the setting on the 7Sage practice tests from 35 min to the appropriate time?

A is completely irrelevant and argument doesnt make that assumption

I chose B but its wrong since argument says that fertilizer use will be reduced, it doesnt say we dont have to use fertlizers anymore. If it had said that we dont need fertilizer then it would have been correct.

C is also attractive but it doesnt set the conncection between why the need for fertilizer will be reduced

D isnt relevant

E is correct because if E wasnt true then there would be no argument.

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

A is wrong because we cant say many old people as we dont know the definition of old for Rotelle. If she considers 60+ old or 80+ old.

B is wrong because it says people as old as Sims are the only those. There could be more people.

C is wrong as argument is not saying that some young people can effectively do its simply saying who cannot.

D is sounds more correct as Sim is to old to understand issue but anyone anyone younger them isnt too old.

E is wrong because Rotelle is not committed to saying what's required for young people to understand.

Hi! This is my first discussion post. I was just wondering if someone would be able to help me better understand the significant gap between my Timed and BR Scores. For example, I recently took one of the PT35+ tests and scored 145 (timed, 35/75) and 165 (BR, 60/75). Does anyone have any tips on how to improve under timed conditions? Whether it's practicing to read faster, minimizing distractions, etc.

Hi! I plan on applying to law schools this September for Fall '24 and had some questions about the FAFSA application. The LSAC advises law school applicants: "If you plan on enrolling in law school at the beginning of the fall term, you can apply for federal financial aid using the FAFSA beginning October 1 of the prior calendar year." As the FAFSA 2022-2023 application closes at the end of this month, am I fine to apply for 2023-2024 when it opens up this October 2023? Or am I misunderstanding and should've applied 2022-2023? I'm having a hard time picturing my timeline as financial aid always worries me.
