Hi All,

I really like looking at the discussions for each individual question, or discussions about a particular RC section, or LG. Is there a space where there are general Prep Test discussions had? I just completed PT 39, and would like to see what others had to say about a prep test that gave me a hard time.

I got stuck on this question between answer A and answer E. I went with A knowing that the 'every' in the answer would most likely be wrong. I almost selected E because it says 'they (men) fell short in all other categories' meaning men would have fallen short of fruits and vegetables like answer E says.

Can anyone give an example of how they solved this question so I can clear the smoke a little more in my thinking?

Hi everyone,

this is my first time posting in this community. I won't go into my life story, so I'll just get right into the question. My goal is to earn at least a 170-172 on the LSAT and I have roughly a year of studying for this test, using 7sage but also supplementing my studying with the LSAT Trainer and the Powerscore Bibles. I just started the 7sage core curriculum and I've started to become a bit discouraged, specifically on the Main Point/Main Conclusion questions/explanations, as I'm getting almost all of them wrong. This has made me believe that I may be being unrealistic in my goal of earning such a high score on the LSAT. I understand the average LSAT score is around a 152 but unfortunately with my low GPA (3.23) I simply can't afford to get a merely average score, especially since my goal is to attend a reputable, highly ranked law school (not necessarily T14). Any advice is appreciated!

This is a huge pet peeve of mine and is constantly getting on my nerves. You cannot enable night mode (dark color scheme) without enabling inverted colors. This means when JY references a color by name it's the wrong color. Or that when he displays an image the colors are... inverted... making it look like a paranormal horror film. Same goes for peoples' profiles pictures.

This makes no sense to me and the only reason I see for this is that it might help some individuals with a specific type of color blindness.

The standard white I find to be taxing on my eyes with all the added blue light, etc. It also doesn't help you get to sleep late at night either if you have been staring at an all-white, super-bright screen for hours (studies confirm).

Just give the option to enable night mode WITHOUT enabling inverted colors....

So I’ve decided to officially take a gap year and while I know my chances at getting in when the Fall 2024 application cycle first opens is far better and taking a gap year will let me prepare for the June 2023 test without stress, I’m still a bit bummed. I always dreamed about going to law school straight from undergrad and I feel like some part of my dreams have been crushed a little.

If anyone has words of advice and encouragement to get past this and look toward the future with a positive light, I would really appreciate it (3 also if anyone has any suggestions on what to do during this gap year, I would really appreciate it.(/p)

Anyone know why A is correct? I chose E

I applied to NYU early decision and got pushed to the regular decision pool. Does anyone know when I may be hearing from them? Do ED applicants get pushed to the very end and hear late in April or something? Or do they tend to hear throughout the next few months? Or even early? Any information is helpful! Thank you!

Hello LSAT rockstars!!

I started studying for the LSAT a week ago and am taking the April LSAT (I know, fast paced schedule). On my diagnostic I got a 158, but I am looking to climb to about a 172. Obviously with the time crunch, I want to use the course in the best way possible so I was wondering if I should follow the syllabus chronologically or if I should be jumping around to the sections I am weakest at (which for me is LR followed by RC). I would just hate to let a month of prep go by without using the course most effectively. Also any additional tips for someone just starting out would be wonderful, thanks!

why is it A (avoids the issue instead by instead focusing on supporters of proposal) instead of C (fails to define the critical term “satisfied?” Like why? I don't understand?

Hi! I really struggled with timing on LSAT prep test 93 Logic Game Three because of the amount of conditional statements and not knowing where to even start with inferences beyond contrapositives. Any suggestions with where to find resources on the best way to set up game three / similar games? There is not a video explanation up on 7Sage yet. Thanks!

I can't study. I'm not ready for the Jan lsat and the last few weeks I just cannot study. I thought, 'oh I guess this is what burnout looks like?' But after researching a bit, it doesn't sound like burnout?

I lost my dad to suicide last year and it was a really wild ride leading up to his death... he was on the run from the FBI, then incarcerated. It was a really stressful time for me because I knew he wasn't mentally well and I knew things were going to end badly. I literally begged anyone I could think of--the judge, his pre-trial officer, parole officer, his lawyer, the prosecution, anyone, to get him mental health help. The way things ended was worst case scenario and I'm still processing it all.

And my husband recently lost his job. I don't work so that's obviously super stressful. So much is riding on the lsat for me personally. I left a high-demand religion after being extremely devout my entire life. I'm trying to carve out my own life and identity outside the religion, but it's been such an uphill battle.

Anyway, this isn't meant to be a sob story, but looking for advice. I probably shouldn't apply this cycle? I am scoring in the 150's on PT's but my goal is much higher. I want to reach my score potential. But I also have to balance the reality of needing to get going with law school. I'm older and I need to start my career sooner rather than later.

-Should I even take the Jan lsat?

I've never had depression until after my dad died, and then it was very intense. But I'm in therapy and feeling so much better and have been doing well with studying consistently. I'm puzzled by the study paralysis because I know I don't have to take the Jan lsat--I don't feel like I'm over pressuring myself and feel like I'm good at being gentle with myself and accepting I can't study and doing things I enjoy or want to get done instead.

Any general tips, words of encouragement, or insight would be appreciated.

I ended up changing my answer from C to A during blind review, but cannot figure out why C is wrong.

How many schools are you guys applying to? I'm just trying to see how the rest of the community is doing in this regard. I have applied to 16 so far. For context, every single one of them waived their application fee, and 9 of them waived the CAS report fee.

How do you check answers after completing the blind review? I don't see where you can submit the reviewed section and receive feedback.

Hello, I'm having trouble starting my personal statement essay. I am considering two topics. Which do you think is best?

Just wanted to make a post showing support before the Jan and Feb test. Try to relax during these next several days. If you're feeling extra anxious, biting your nails or can't eat food, go outside and take a super long walk. It will clear your brain and help you concentrate. Don't rush through study materials now. Just focus on what you already know and skim through basic prep.

On the night before the test, get good sleep. If you can't sleep try to take a long hot shower. Don't drink too much water. Wake up early the next day so you can go to the bathroom if you need to. In the hours before the exam, just go outside and walk around. I went into my backyard and talked to my girlfriend on the phone for hours. It helped distract me from all of my anxiety.

During the test, I took a glass of water with me and a rag. The rag was just to wipe my hands if they were sweaty. It relaxed me to have it on the table too for some reason. I also put every clock away because the noise was distracting.

Technology tips: Put your phone on airplane mode during the exam. Don't turn it off. The proctor didn't even ask me if it was turned on. If you have technical difficulties you can reach right behind you and get LSAC on the phone as quickly as possible. Make sure your camera and audio work every single day. Check your laptop every day. DO NOT UPDATE YOUR WINDOWS OS. Please please please. Pick up your laptop and shake it with the camera on. My camera went out when I picked my laptop up during the 10 minute break between sections and I got screwed over in October. This is just something that happened to me so I'm passing it onto you guys.

Good luck. A lot of information but I've taken the test 4 times now and this is what I did to be as ready as possible for my exam.

Hi there!

I'm currently registered to take the January LSAT this Saturday (14th), and the location that I'm planning on taking the test is one of the conference rooms in the office that I work. The business is closed on weekends so there shouldn't be anyone if the office at all so it should be fine in that regard. However, I'm concerned because the conference room has 1. two large mounted tv screens and 2. A "wall" that is really just a floor to ceiling window. I think I saw somewhere that this isn't allowed, but there are blinds that go down all the way from ceiling to floor. Any advice/perspectives would be helpful, thanks in advance!

I mean to actually do the PT, blind review and then review with answers. Usually for me the first step actually takes the least time. I probably spend 2x the time on blind review and about 2x more to make sure I fully understand every single question on the test. This can easily take me like 2 weeks to process a PT since I'm working full time. I feel like this can't be right and it's super low efficient lol am I doing something wrong here? Please advise and any suggestions will be appreciated!

Hi! Does anyone know the difference between, "the author overlooks the possibility" vs "takes for granted that" and how can I differentiate it when looking at an argument? Thanks!

Hello, do we have to pick out our law schools before completing this program? #help

Just started working through the core curriculum and I had a quick question about problem sets and quizzes. Is it better to complete 100% of the problem sets and quizzes? Or is it better to do some of them now and leave others uncompleted to review in the upcoming months?

Hi!

I have been studying for a few months. About 3 months ago I plateaued at around 163. I was struggling to increase my score. I just took an untimed practice test and scored a 173. I noticed that so many questions (especially on the Logic Games) I initially got wrong but then with time and noticing that I messed up my diagram etc.. I was able to revise my answer choices to only get 1 wrong in the section. I was wondering if anyone had advice or tips on how I could proceed in my studying to help increase my timed practice scores given that my 173 shows that I have more potential to improve.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but my untimed score was (-3 RC, -3 LR, -1 LG)

Thank You!
