I read somewhere that some schools like to see "why x" essays even if the topic is not specifically listed as an optional essay. I’m concerned because I’ve aleeady submitted a few applications without this addendum, and I don’t want those schools to think I don’t really want to go there. I just thought it wasn’t necessary if they don’t ask for it. Anyone have info on this?

UPDATED QUESTION 12/20: I want to write a Why X essay for Columbia and NYU because I am below both their medians and they are dream schools. I originally thought it couldn't hurt to include a short one (350 words or so), but after reading over a super old thread on a different forum, I'm concerned that I may hurt my chances (and annoy admissions officers) by including unsolicited additional reading material...especially given that it's obvious someone with my stats would love to go to their school. Any advice?

Hey I am applying to a new school after being dismissed (due to external factors that have since improved) from another law school last year. This is my first time applying to this particular law school in question. Should I put first time or reapplicant as my applicant type? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I am in a bit of a shock at the moment. I received my cum GPA and it dropped from a 4.06 to 3.58. I had a rough start in 2010 and walked out on my courses without withdrawing. I need an expert to help me double check if LSAC may have made an error. I need an absolute pro to help me out. I don't want to ask LSAC to double check in case they made an error and somehow end up with a lower score. Any avail to help me out?

Thank you!

Hello, I was wondering if someone needed a study buddy or if I can be a part of a group. I never studied for the LSAT and I will be taking it in September.

Hello! I got the answer right for this LR question, but was having a hard time unpacking the last sentence of the prompt. I know starting with "for unless" is a premise but the wording is a bit convoluted.

"Some extremists claim that all uses of language are metaphorical. But this cannot be so, for unless some uses of words are literal, there can be no nonliteral uses of any words.

I’ve been working my way through the syllabus top to bottom, completing every practice listed. However, I feel like by the 4th practice drill it’s too repetitive. I also feel like I’m just not focusing on the LSAT since there hundreds of hours between the first Prep Test and the next one on the syllabus.

Should I be taking Prep Tests more spread throughout the syllabus? Am I okay to skip over some of the practice drills if I feel like it’s overly repetitive? Should I just trust the layout and keep chugging along?

Hi! I was doing a drill and had this question. I chose C and that was the trap answer choice (rip) but I don't really understand why this is wrong and A is right.

Could anyone please breakdown the right and wrong answers? This would be such a great help thank you!!

Hi, I'm looking to organize a study group for the August exam! Message me if you are interested, I will be making a GroupMe for this where we can schedule reviews / go over PTs over zoom. This can be a great support system and a way to keep each other accountable and motivated. Thanks :)

Created this Discord a bit ago - trying to get a lesson of the week going where we read/attempt something on our own and then get together to discuss and share any insights we have.

Hi, I wanted to reach out to other 7sagers to see if anyone would be interested in studying RC with me.

I have been studying for the test about 10months, and I would like to have more routinely discussion based study sessions for specifically RC.

Here are some suggestions on how I would like to have the sessions.

Here are some info about me

Please let me know if you are interested!

Good luck with your studying!

If you’re interested send me an email lsat77777@gmail.com and I’ll add you to the group.

Because I work full time most sessions will be evenings and weekends. I’m a hopeful splitter who needs 170+ let’s do dis

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to Blind Review my pt after I falsely stated that I completed Blind Review. I clicked on that I completed BR because I wanted to see the score immediately. But now I want to actually do the BR. Is there a way to "recover"and BR for real again?

Hi all- a few LSAT questions here for those who have taken it before. How do you access the exam on test day? How much time beforehand is needed between you/ proctor before starting the test? How many pieces of scrap paper are you allowed to use? Thank you.

Hello! I'm having a really hard time answering all the questions within 35 minutes. I tend to run out of time during RC and sometimes, LG. I score significantly better when I blind review and I know I could do a lot better if I just had maybe 5 more minutes with every section. I honestly feel capable enough to answer each question type but I tend to get them wrong because I feel rushed. During BR, I realize that if I wasn't so rushed, I would have gotten a lot more questions correct.

Any advice on how you manage your time during your PTs or how to not let the clock give you anxiety? This is single-handily the reason why I've always done so bad with exams. Thanks :)

Hey all! I'm debating whether I should take the LSAT at a testing center or choose the remote option. Any prior experiences with either or pros/cons would be helpful! FWIW, I do have accommodations, so idk if that changes the dynamic of remote testing.

does anyone remember what pen that Henry recommended on the LSAT Podcast?

Hi, while recently shifting my strategy to study the LSAT from a quantitative method to a qualitative method - by using fewer prep material to maximize the effects of the study - I was thinking that I might need to change how I study the RC section as well from previously only looking at problems that I missed and the passages that I had a struggle with to thoroughly inspecting the whole four passages in an RC section. Is this a valid approach to study the RC section? I would like any thoughts on this methodology.

when you take the lsat-flex, can you see yourself throughout the time with the camera, or are you not able to see yourself?

I'm in the middle of Week 3 for studying and just finished the core curriculum for the Logical Reasoning section (learning all the question types and going through all the lessons). The next step in my study scheduler is to begin going through the lessons for Reading Comprehension. Should I put LR aside for now and go onto RC and LG (learning all the fundamentals and going through all the lessons) and then begin practicing and improving each section or should I try to drill and work on mastering LR first before moving on to the next sections? When does taking full PTs come into the picture?

Hi all, would really appreciate advice from anyone who has taken the LSAT recently. LSAC sent us a temporary login for proctorio to use when we registered for a time slot, however I tried to create my own account on proctorU and it wouldn't let me. Does anyone know how to set up Proctor U before test day? Do we need our ow account or do we use the temporary login? Thank you! #help

Does the course curriculum direct you on when to drill certain sections? I just started my CC and I was wondering if I have to schedule in drills on my own or of 7sage will direct me on when to do them depending on where in the course im on.

I wanted to ask if anyone had access to the revisited crystal ball for the June 2023 LSAT? I would really appreciate that resource. Thank you.

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. On Saturday June 3rd, at 1 pm ET, we are offering a simulated remotely proctored PrepTest to better prepare for the June exam, or any LSAT in the future! Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

Register using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwocu-vrj4oGNZlNu89XJ8X9gyN1riIcBxm

Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. You can take the PT through 7Sage, or, if you want to simulate real test-day conditions, you can log into LawHub and take it there.

Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (1:00 pm ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan at the same time (just as you will have to do on actual test day) and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

Our 7Sage Proctor will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session, so you can test with those.

If you have any other questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

Can anyone explain why B is the correct answer?

I crossed it out because on the surface, it seemed irrelevant to people's moral beliefs. B elaborates on the moral content of broadsides in detail, but how can this be an alternative explanation for people's subscription to broadsides? Instead of B, I chose E, which says well educated people who read broadsides hated broadside peddlers. I thought E showed that people don't necessarily read broadsides guided by their moral beliefs.

However, now I see why E is wrong. The "well-educated people" in E doesn't represent the "most people" in the conclusion. Also, those well educated people hate the "peddlers" who distribute the broadsides, not the broadside itself.
