I’m a junior in undergrad rn. Is that too early to start studying? Does the material change drastically year to year?

I answered this question correct the first time around, and then when completing the blind review I changed my answer and got it incorrect. This question is very tricky when reading it for the first time. I changed my answer because I could not logically conclude why the average length of stay remaining unchanged would support the authors hypothesis. I now realize that if length of stay has no correlation, then a valid reason to there being higher restaurant revenues would be that visitors are sharing passes.

A) Other tourist attraction opening- would weaken argument bc would explain the rise in restaurant revenues and not attraction

B) Making more frequent trips than in previous years- would weaken argument bc this would mean they are not sharing passes

C) Hotel and meal prices have risen- would weaken argument bc directly correlates with increased revenues not based on sharing passes

D) Average length of stay remained unchanged- would support argument bc people most likely sharing passes

E) Each pass contains a photograph- would weaken argument bc this would causes less people to share a pass

Hi Everybody,

I am about to finish my undergrad in June, but I have a dilemma in figuring out what to do right now. Originally, I was thinking about taking January Lsat and apply with a higher score. However, I learned the news of my father passed away over the break, which made me unable to prepare for the test and I had to withdraw. My currents stats are (GPA: 3.95 LSAT: 163). I only applied to my safety schools (UC Hastings and university of San Diego) last year. Hastings admitted me and gave me 60,000$. I am reluctant to go to Hastings, because I was pretty much set on going to a T14 school. I also overheard some bad news about Hastings that big law firms do not recruit that many students from there. My mother and my advisor at my undergrad all told me to go to Hastings and apply to more schools at the end of this cycle. They say that which schools you go to do not really matter for your future employment if you can be on top of the class, but I do not know if that is the case for law schools.

I was wondering whether I should apply to more schools at the very end of this cycle or wait for the next one when I can get better lsat score? Should I just go to Hastings or not? How difficult is it to transfer out of Hastings?

Thank you!

Hi! I'm new to this. Do instructors provide the homework assignments before the class? If so, how far in advance b/c I plan to take class tomorrow, but I do not see the homework for it. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Hi everyone. I am looking for a study buddy to do weekly PT blind review sessions. My average score is 166 currently (LG -0~2, LR -3~5, RC-4~7). Let me know if you are interested.

Hello everyone sorry if this is a redundant question. I plan on taking the LSAT in April. I started studying roughly in September (but I would say I really get tough on myself in January). I finished the Trainer in December and am currently working my way through 7sage. I plan to finish the curriculum (without PTs) before March, giving me only a month to just completely immerse myself in PTs. Given that shortish time frame, I'm not gonna be able to do all practice tests. I was wondering which ones should I give priority to. I think I read on here that 80+ or something like that was different that the previous ones I believe? I would appreciate any advice, thank you!

I've always been the type of person who spends a ridiculous amount of time creating beautiful & detailed ipad notes. It's been proven that hand-writing notes helps with long-term retention of the information, but it's a huge time-suck and honestly causes quick burnout. How does everyone take notes? How often do you go back and re-visit your notes?

So I realize why it's C (reason for M's comeback "even students in technical majors are requred..."), but initially chose B. Can we rule B out because we are unsure of Ramona's stance on B?

I know mine is not a unique problem, but I am wondering if anyone has advice. When I have the time to slowly go through each question, I have great accuracy in pretty much all four sections. However, especially in the LR sections, I am finding the time pressure is causing me to miss important details and trying to move quickly results in sloppy decision making. I know practice helps, but I continue to struggle when under pressure. Does anyone have any tips for overcoming this?

I know a 150 is still an average score. But I must share my 12 point increase. I started off this LSAT journey with knowing absolutely nothing to mastering LG and doing moderate on RC and LR. I worked and studied so hard for this jump. SAT and ACT was never my strongest. but regardless of the matter thank you JY and the 7Sage community for helping me get this far.

Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone has thought of this strategy or is doing this. Lately Ive just been focusing on Logic games. Since I'm retaking the test in April, I figured I'm better off hitting one section hard instead of trying to improve on the test as a whole. As you may already figured out the LSAT doesn't give you an increase in points right away instead you have to reach a boiling point of improvement until it translates into actual score increases. What do you all think of this?

Hello!

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in a couple of months, and I would like to form a study group of about 5-8 people for those whose goal is a 165+ and working full-time and have already completed more than 80% of the core curriculum. In this group, we will virtually meet 2 times a week (once on the weekend, and once on a weekday). On the weekend, we will blind review one PT test from 70-93 (all sections). On the weekday, we will take one timed 35 minute section (alternating each week between LG, LR, RC), and then blind review this afterwards together. The aim of this group is to help each other and benefit from each others' strengths!

When blind reviewing, we will try going in depth with each question. Even if every individual has gotten the answer correct, we will come to a consensus on why this answer is better than the others instead of moving on to the next question without discussing it. This does take more time, but if we do go over time, the rest of the questions can be posted on a discussion board following the session.

Logic games are a bit tricky to blind review together. To overcome this, when blind reviewing a logic game section, study group members should watch the explanation videos before, and if they still don't understand, we will go over the rules and conditions together, drawing out the diagram, and having one group member that understands the question well 'teach' the others for that day or 'lead' the discussion. On a logic game blind review weekday, we will also do 1 very hard problem together.

Also, each week there will be an assignment board (sort of like homework) for each day which is optional to keep us on track and have some structure. A discussion board will be made for any questions / sharing thought processes of how you solved hard questions pertaining to these assignments (for ex. Monday - do PT 65 Section 1 Logic Games).

Timings will most likely adhere to those working full-time and live in North America (after 4pm ET on weekdays, and anytime on weekends). We will meet for 1 hour maximum, 2 times a week. If you live in the East, and can still make it to the session, you are welcome to join! All ideas on structure are welcome once the group is formed! :) Comment if you are interested and I will add you to the discord.

Edit: hi guys! most likely will be sending out the discord invite tomorrow (feb 7th) :)

I have a question about RC. When starting the RC section of the LSAT, is it a smart strategy to glance at the number of questions per passage and then dive in first with the one that offers the most points with the most questions? For example, I just did a PT and I usually just go straight through beginning with passage one then onwards. Passage one only had 5 questions, while passage four had 8 questions. To me, it would have made more sense to start with the last passage for two reasons: 1) I’m the freshest and most alert and 2) I have the opportunity to score 8 points. As it was, I ran out of time and end up having to guess on several of the last questions. Thoughts??

Is it recommended for me to do the drills for each type of LR question immediately after completing it in the CC?

Hi everyone!

I am pretty new to 7Sage and am still trying to get a grasp of everything it has to offer.

One question I have is how strictly should I be following the study schedule that was provided for me? I have heard that while studying for the LSAT, I should be doing multiple practice exams, but on my first couple weeks on my study schedule, there are none. Should I still be doing practice exams although the schedule does not say I should? Or should I wait until my study schedule has them on the agenda for the week? Thanks so much, hope you can help!

IS anyone else having trouble joining the live classes? Mine keeps telling me the host has been alerted im waiting but I don't get let in.

Hi everyone! I have two questions regarding the April and June tests that I'm hoping some of you know the answers to:

JY dismisses putting [I: V-Y-W-V] because you can't have two different game pieces in the middle two slots. Can someone help elaborate on this? I believe (A) could be correct, and I don't understand the reasoning here.

Thanks!

Looking for a tutor for the near future

I've been working through the curriculum for the last few weeks and I swear that the Flaw-Descriptive Questions lesson was before Principle Questions but now it's telling me that Principle is before Flaw. Is this a new change or am I going through some weird Mandela effect?

Hey everyone. I wanted to gauge everyones thoughts on doing PTs with 3 sections vs 4 sections. I’ve heard a lot of people mention that doing 3-section PTs inflates your scores due to stamina being less of a factor. I usually opt for the 3-section PT as I find it more efficient and just better overall for days when I don’t have much time. However, I recently took a 4-section test and actually received the highest score I’ve ever gotten on it. This takes me back to my question on what people think is best. Is it really so bad to do 3-section PTs? I understand it doesn’t simulate real exam conditions but, again, I’d like to hear some opinions on what you guys do!

Evaluate question: can someone please explain why the correct answer choice is E? how did you arrive at this answer?

Hello everyone, what are current trends for the 2023 cycle? In November was around 14% less applicants than in 2021 and 2022. Something changed?

I'm very confused as to why the answer is B and not C. Looking back at it now, I'm trying to make justifications for why the answer should be B (EX: B says "the government would withhold" which is not as definitive as in C which says "the government would deny requests"). Is it not C because C is too broad and is not focusing on UFOs specifically? I figured its broad language was why it was the correct answer but maybe that was not the right way to go about it.

Will 7Sage eventually be updated to include the 2021 PT's when they're released from the LSAC? TIA
