Can I reapply as first-year student if I’m already attending law school?

.

Hi, is there a way to choose logic games that you specifically want to improve your speed on without having to take the whole preptest again? I know there are drills for different types of logic games, but I want to choose specific logic games that I want to redo and improve my speed on. Is there a way I can do that with the drill format?

The LSAC has not released an official August test date, but they usually hold one each test cycle. Do you guys think there will be one? Cuz I don't necessarily think I will be prepped enough by the June Test date.

Hi,

I am thinking of transferring out to a nearby community college to take paralegal related courses and maybe to boost my gpa before graduation. Would this be frowned upon by law school admission committees?

After one year, I will return to my university to graduate during summer as I will have only one course left.

Is the August 2023 LSAT going to be different, I heard online that they are changing the LG section in 2023. Wondering if that was real or not and if there is going to be any change to the August LSAT.

requesting to refund for June and want to sign up for August

Why is B the right answer for a strengthen if the reverse could also be true: what if those who can copy angles can copy curves just means the other comes first. Isn't the key to the argument the idea that one is before? #help

I took the LSAT last year and scored a 140. This is a poor score because I didn't get to do as much studying because I was working and in school full time. I plan on taking the LSAT in June and I have been studying. I'm trying to break the 150's.

Anyone got any tips and tricks? Was anyone else scoring this poorly? (My GPA was a 3.7 and I have plenty of law firm experience it's just I'm struggling with this exam).

Trying to figure out where I should devote my energy in anticipation of the June LSAT!!

Title says it all.

I have a hard time blind reviewing. I am currently working through the CC and whenever I finish a lesson I focus on drilling questions from that lesson; Isolated questions. Questions from pt 37-159. Approx. 20 questions in two days with 3-5 questions of the previous lessons.

So, after completing these drills, I just check the answers. Most of the time I am down to two answers and initially choose the right answer, but second guess myself and choose the wrong answer.

I look at the question that I got wrong and what the correct answer was and I just think to myself, "Damn, I knew it, I had it chosen at first but went with the other answer" or "I knew it.. I should have chosen that answer" without choosing it the first time.

So, should I blind review my drills of specific questions, or should I wait to blind review full pts after I finish the CC and I'm doing all the question types rather than the current lesson plus previous lessons.

Also, I feel like I'm not really getting anything out of BR. I will just watch the video and explanation and be like ok that makes sense, but still make the same errors.

For example, I'm on SA questions. I would do about 20 SA questions with an additional 20 - 25 questions of MBT, STR, Weaken, MSS, MC. I would do all the easiest questions, move onto easier, and so on. Every few weeks or so I would combine them all and do a 20-25 question drill of all the types I've been practicing with a wide range level of difficulties.

Hey 7Sage,

Some of you may have noticed that we have a new LSAT podcast. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. Do you like it? Is it better than the old podcast? Why or why not? How can we make it better?

Be honest, please! The more you share, the more we'll be able to improve.

Hello, everyone!

Taking the LSAT in April, and I'm not feeling too good about it. For me, it seems like time is the real problem. For Logic Games, I can complete just about any game with 100% accuracy, but it takes me ~10 minutes per game. That's not going to cut it. If I skip (guess) the hardest question out of each group, I can cut my time down by a couple of minutes -- but that feels to me a lot like dropping 4 questions. Probably not the best tactic.

If I am being honest with myself, I think that it takes me a bit too long to identify an inference or the effect that one of the rules, in combination with another rule, has on the game. Practice is the only way to get better at this, I imagine.

But are there any tips, tricks or techniques for cutting one's time down on these games? Thanks in advance! You guys are the best, and good luck to everyone!

I am retaking the LSAT this summer and I am afraid of ProctorU Interruptions.

I was interrupted multiple times during my first test and honestly thinking about it gives me anxiety. She kept on telling me to move, reposition myself, and readjust my computer during LG and RC. This messed up my concentration and wasted time. I even had to re-read some RC passages which wasted even more time.

Is there a way we can avoid Proctor Interruptions?

(I did not file a complaint with LSAC or ask for a retake which I regret)

Can someone explain why the correct answer choice is A for PT 9, Section 2, Question 20?

Hi,

I am looking for some help with percentage/numbers questions in general.

Most of the times I do get the answers right. But usually I hesitate between 2 of the answer choices and in blind reviews I tend to struggle explaining to myself why the correct answer is correct.

With this particular question, PT16, S2, Q9, I was down to (B) and (C). In the end I chose (C) because it "seemed more correct" given that the increase of electrical energy usage was larger (50%) than overall energy usage (10%). I also thought it is difficult to say anything about "other" energy types like in (B) as the stimulus does not give enough information about them.

As you can see, I didn't exactly have a confident reason in eliminating (B) and choosing (C). When I searched online for some explanations, they all came up with hypothetical numbers to show why (B) is not necessarily the case and (C) is. But I don't think I can come up with something like that during the exam under time constraint. So..

Can any of you tell me how you could go about during the actual exam environment in answering this question? Eliminating (B) with certainty and choosing (C)?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi! Is it wise to go through all of the drills or problem sets in a class while you're studying the set? Or is it better to learn the material/watch the question run-throughs and then spread out the drills throughout the week? An example would be the MSS Question Class set in the LR section. I feel if I do all 12 of the MSS problem sets spread out (maybe 2-3 a day), it'll help refresh my memory more often instead of doing it all at once and then not touching it until I take a PT.

Please send me a private message if you are interested

Hello all, I have studied for about one month and I am scoring about a 140 and supposedly and I am wondering if I should take the June or August exam. I get almost every LG section correct however I see what is pulling me down is my RC and LR which I can only get around 8-10 questions right. I struggle to understand the answers choices so much I feel like I understand the conclusion and premises in majority of the LR section however I do not understand the answer choices at all at times. I use to prep with a physical RC and it helped me annotate and take side notes. However 7 sage does not offer a lecture nor an alternative way to practice with the new electronic version of the LSAT. So if their are any tips on how I can fix these flaws I would appreciate it.

I got this question wrong both before and after BR and the explanations did not help but I finally think I understand it so I wanted to help anyone still confused like I was!

Here is how I logically mapped it out (I,F, and U mean inviting, functional, unobtrusive)

I & F → U

Contrapositive: Not U → not I or not F

This is the rule which the stimulus says modern architects violate. To violate this rule it would be that it is NOT the case that (I & F → U)

In other words, in order to violate this rule, there must be some case in which there is I and F, but not U

This is where I got caught up, as I was thinking that they had only mentioned that the buildings were not functional, but had not mentioned if they were inviting- but that doesn't matter. For the rule to be violated, it HAS to be the case (MUST BE TRUE) that there is some case with I, F, and NOT U. The other details are unimportant, as the correct answer just focuses on one aspect of the conditions that must be met for this rule to be violated.

Let me know if anyone has another explanation that makes more sense, or if my reasoning is wrong at any point!

The correct answer is A-fails to rule out the possibility that a true belief can have deleterious consequences.

While the AC by itself is reasonable, I am just not seeing how it is a flaw in the argument's reasoning.

I identified the conclusion as the first sentence of the stem, is this where I'm messing up?

Correct: A

Incorrect: C

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-53-section-1-question-09/

"C" is incorrect because the male population could've stayed the same and the decline of the female population made it equal to the male population. "A" is correct because "proportional" gives relation to the whole population. It is saying that the decline of the female population is a decline in the total population. This takes it from being 2/3 of just females to 2/3 of the species.

Correct: D

Incorrect: E

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-53-section-1-question-08/

Explanation: "D" makes it where we can't say that the effects go away with age. By saying that the 2nd and 3rd studies were flawed, we can take away the conclusion that is based on those results. "E" doesn't specify how many children slept with nightlights and weren't nearsighted. "E" could have 5 children that were nearsighted and slept with nightlights along with 95 children that slept with nightlights and were not nearsighted. Because we don't know if the other children were nearsighted even though they didn't sleep with nightlights, or slept with nightlights and weren't nearsighted, or not nearsighted and didn't sleep with nightlights, we can't form a conclusion on partial results. It just talks about several older children that were nearsighted and slept with nightlights. That's not enough say that nearsightedness caused by nightlights goes away with age.
