I hold a bachelor's degree in law, but the GPA is low

After that, I studied for a master's degree and got a high GPA

The question is, can I be accepted to study jd in America after I get a good mark in lsat?

The question 2 is, will they consider the master's degree and ignore the bachelor's degree?

Hi all,

I unfortunately had to cancel my 7Sage subscription, so I've been using LawHub to take PTs. I'd like to enter my OG choices here on 7Sage, then get my BR score on LawHub. I've run into a problem though, because my sections on LawHub are not the same as the answer sheet here on 7Sage. Thus, I can't tell the difference between the two LR sections, as each have the exact same # of questions. Is there a way to tell the difference between the two or will it just have to be a trial and error thing?

Thanks!

Why is (E) the right answer choice here, as opposed to (B)?

Stabilizers: Cheap, preserve consistency, but bad for flavor

Low temperatures: Expensive, preserve consistency, better for flavor

(B) suggests: To save money, we should omit the very low temperatures; just use stabilizers to preserve consistency and don't worry about the flavor

Is the idea that the stimulus just remains neutral on flavor, contrary to what (B) suggests?

The stimulus certainly seems to entail the suggestion that cost considerations would encourage ice cream producers to accept higher temperatures, but the stimulus does not also seem to entail an unequivocal recommendation concerning stabilizer use: Contrary to what (B) suggests, ice cream producers might not use very low temperatures (thus reducing costs) AND also not use stabilizers, thus sacrificing consistency for the sake of flavor.

I assume this must be it: The cost considerations mentioned in the stimulus certainly incentivize higher temperatures, but the stimulus does not also entail an unequivocal recommendation concerning stabilizer use. (B) thus does not follow, unlike (E).

I was stuck between answer choices B and C. I eventually settled down for B but I'm still struggling to figure out why B is the more optimal answer compared to C. The question makes the assumption that the study is representative of the entire population of the United States, and fails to account for any discrepancies between the study subjects and the American population, thus making C an attractive answer.

So I took a diagnostic test, and I got a 153. My hope is to get a 170 plus in 3 to 4 months depending on if I take the June or August LSAT. I am a junior in college taking 4 (4 credit) classes which aren't too bad, but I am working 32 hours, 16 at one job, 16 at another. I don't really have a day of just not doing anything, so I am trying to study for the LSAT in the afternoons and evenings. I REALLY WANT A 170+ . Anyone in the same boat? Am I doomed or can I do it ? Anyone want to be study partners ? Be honest please ! I am willing to put the work in if I have to.

Has anyone else this application cycle got rejected from a school they thought they'd get into? I was just rejected from a school today where my LSAT is at the 75th percentile. I'm not sure if this was an example of yield protection or not. It certainly wasn't my first choice but not my last either. I hope I wasn't rejected just because they thought I wouldn't attend.

Hi, everyone. I was wondering if anyone has tips on how to shave time off for grouping games with unrestricted or undefined variables, ie the bird game that you see under the lessons on grouping. I'm especially interested on how to cut back on time made during the initial setup with inferences. Thanks!

Hello! Hoping to get some ideas here because I have no idea what the correct etiquette is.

I got waitlisted for a school that's one of my top choices but in the email it says offers can be as late as from May to even August. Obviously I can't just wait on them when the other schools I got into have acceptance deadlines in April. Can I accept an offer for a school and then pull out if my waitlisted school accepts me?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, this will be my first time taking the LSAT in June of 2023. I really don’t know where to start but I have the LSAT prep book and I am enrolled in a course. I would love study buddies so we can hold each other accountable and help each other. I have a set study schedule but would love to pencil in some time to meet over zoom, or Microsoft teams to help each other. Maybe even make a group chat to update each other on our progress. If anyone is interested please let me know! I’ll make a group me chat.

I’m also located on the east coast, so I’m using EST.

Hi,

I am wondering if someone can help me understand LSAT cycles. I would like to give myself the opportunity to take the test 5 times if necessary and will be sitting for the upcoming April test. I am wondering when this cycle began and ends as I am aware you can only sit for the test 3 times over one cycle. Thanks!

For whatever reason, logical reasoning sections are the bane of my existence in terms of LSAT prep. Dare I say, I sometimes actually enjoy working through logic games and reading comprehension sections? Perhaps. Depending on the passage and game, they seem to make me feel excited, interested, with a sense of fun. I don't feel like i'm doing work and my perception of time slows down. On the other hand, LR feels like a horrid chore that makes me feel sad, mundane, and sick to my stomach. Any tips?

Hi! I am looking for advice on whether I should cancel or keep my February LSAT score. This was the second time I took the LSAT and I received a 169 which was unfortunately lower than my first score (November) of 170. Despite additional studying, I just found this test a lot harder (thanks to the LG). I have score preview and need to decide whether to cancel the 169 or keep it. On one hand my instinct is to cancel since it's lower than my first score, but I have also read that it can be a mistake to cancel anything in/above the 160s (since it may be assumed you did particularly bad)? I may be taking the LSAT a third time (targeting 172), depending on my summer plans. I would appreciate any/all insights. Thank you!

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to filter the study schedule to actually fit the hours in and have it generate for those hours.

Say I can put only 14 hrs a week. Can I filter it by 14 hours and actually have the study schedule generate to accommodate only 14 hours a week. As it stands, I can put 14 hours, but there will be weeks with 18 hours and 20 hours.

Also, I want to remove all the tests, it's a bit overwhelming when looking at the study schedule and it shows 500+ hours.

For conclusions that are along the lines of "this theory/explanation is wrong", I have a tough time keeping the entire idea in my head. For most questions, I will highlight just the conclusion. However, when I just highlight "this is wrong", I cannot reference the idea quickly enough. Are there any helpful tips to overcome this issue?

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

I have started with the foundation lesson and I am now doing the introduction to arguments. When studying for the LSAT using 7 sage the way I am tackling it, is by watching, taking notes from the videos and lessons, and reviewing them. Is that the right way to go about it?

Hi - taking the LSAT for the second time in June, shooting for 170+ this time around. Need a study buddy to help hold me accountable! I am located in DFW but online works too! I am pretty flexible but I would like to meet at least 1-2 times a week. I work full time so it would have to be in the evening after 5pm or on the weekends.

I saw a post on here where we do a chosen section from a PT, register for the study group, and then 7Sage puts us in a group with other people who did the chosen section. However, I can't find that post anymore. Does anyone know how I can find it so I can register? Thanks.

I'm still in the LR section of the core curriculum. For the different question types, a lot of the lessons comprise of example questions that JY goes over. While watching those, should I just be watching his thought process or trying to answer it myself before playing the video?

Just curious how people felt about the Feb LSAT? I had LR-RC-LG-RC, did anyone else? I left like the LR was hard, both RCs were pretty easy except the last passage was a bit iffy & LG was normal.

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I find myself having to make myself sit down and study. Almost like an internal battle where I try to do anything BUT study, and I have to literally force myself to study. I wondered what would be the cause of this. I realized it was because of fear. I was procrastinating due to the fear of not understanding the LSAT material or the fear of not being able to improve from my 148 score. I also realized I had a fear of success. If I do master the LSAT and become an attorney, do I have it in me to juggle the demands of being an attorney? I realized I was self-sabotaging myself by not studying. And when I wouldn't study, I would feel miserable and anxious, knowing I was letting myself and my future down. I realized I have to discipline myself to sit down and study, and I am sure my future self will thank me. You will never regret an investment in yourself and in your knowledge! Please let me know if anyone else struggled through this.
