HELP

Hello, can someone please explain the difference between answer choice D and answer choice E? I am failing to see how they are different no matter how many times I look over the wording. I probably missed something or diagrammed it incorrectly, so I would love for someone to double check my work. Thank you!

The stimulus lawgic I wrote is:

/D --> J

/J --> D

D --> Q

J --> Q

Q

The lawgic I diagrammed for (D) is as follows:

/L --> K

/K --> L

L --> M

K --> M

M

(E) Lawgic:

/D --> S

/S --> D

D --> C

S ---> C

C

Thanks!

Having been on the LSAT journey for years, knowing how challenging this test is, and receiving support from so many people online, I promised myself that if I ever get my dream score (172+), I would pay it forward to others by helping them achieve their goals.

I finally did it... it's still surreal (all glory to God). I can help with the following:

  • Diagnosing your LSAT weakness (identifying points for improvement or reviewing your study plan)

  • 1 HR session on your weakest LR question type

  • 1.5 HR session on RC strategies (for regular passage OR comparative passage)

  • 1 HR session on LG strategies

  • I can also just listen to you rant. This test is HARD and sometimes, you just need an ear.

    • Plz reach out if and only if you:

  • have been studying for 5+ months/years (7sage will teach you the basics way better)

  • have hit a plateau in your studies (breaking into the 170s)

  • are committed to studying consistently

    • My diagnostic: 153 --> best score before Nov: 167 --> practice exam range: 169-178

    I took the November LSAT and I was not happy with my score. I scored 8 points lower than my PT average. I had so much going on and I wasn't in the right state of mind to be taking the test that day. I need some advice on how to study between now and the January test. What do y'all recommend I do to make the best use of my time? Prioritize weak areas? Start from scratch with the CC?

    Thank you:)

    I tried taking a PT on lawhub for the first time and think it’s best to continue since the actual interface is more similar to that on Lawhub, but when filling in results on 7sage for analytics I noticed that the order of sections between the 2 platforms is different for the same exam, specifically PT 40.

    Which platform correctly orders the sections as actually ordered on that respective exam’s administration? Is the original order ever disclosed?

    Many thanks!

    Hi everyone! Anyone interested in participating in a personal statement swap? I would like some feedback on my personal statement as I really wanna strengthen it before I submit applications.

    Hello everyone!

    Looking for a motivated study group where we can hold each other accountable and make LSAT studying a little more bearable! We can review any question types, depending on each of our problem areas. I do want to pay particular attention to LR, as I believe getting insight into how others may approach these types of questions can be extremely valuable.

    Let me know in the comments below and I will create a group chat!

    I just wanted to share a sub 170 success story for us non genius types haha.

    I originally used Kahn Academy and had a 149 diagnostic, I was absolutely terrible at games… like -15. Somehow I heard about 7Sage and have been on here for over a year and a half.

    I studied hard for 4 months and got 154 on Nov 202, even a with strong GPA that got me rejected from all 8 schools I applied to in Canada. That sucked ngl.

    In late June 2022 I decided to use every bit of extra cash I had, and some frankly I didn’t have(shout out Visa lol) and put off any extra spending on vacations, sporting events, etc. to get sessions with a 7Sage tutor. This frankly made a huge difference in my ability to hone in on strong study habits and motivated me when I was struggling to find it within myself. I can’t recommend James Marmaduke with 7Sage enough, he gave me drills, a plan, and realistic feedback on my goals. I wanted to hit at least 160, preferably somewhere in the low to mid 160 range.

    On October 2022 I scored a 160 which I was happy with. But I knew I could do a bit better based on my PTs and that my 160 would be borderline to get accepted to my first choice schools I am applying to with 163-164 Medians.

    I took November’s exam and got a 163 which I am ecstatic about! It’s take a long time but I’m stoked to go from a 149 diagnostic to a 163.

    I hope everyone got the scores they were looking for yesterday and best of luck to all the 7Sage ppl applying this cycle. This has been a great resource and a big part of that is the community. Hopefully someone in the 140s reads this and is inspired.

    Cheers!

    Hey everyone,

    Thank you for choosing 7Sage for your LSAT studies. We are happy to be a part of your journey!

    If you have a moment, would you mind leaving us a review on our Trustpilot page? We just registered an account with them so our reviews page is a bit sparse. (Thanks to those of you who already left reviews!) Please feel free to write about anything, for example, whether you found our lessons helpful, our tools and apps user-friendly, or how we stack up against the competition.

    We would really appreciate as many reviews as we can get, but totally understand if you prefer not to leave a public review.

    Thank you again!

    I just want to take a moment and thank both JY and the entire 7Sage team for helping me accomplish what seemed to be an insurmountable task in the LSAT. I studied for the LSAT every day for 5 months, often 2+ hours a day before working 30 hours a week to save money for my law school dream. Many of the concepts were not easy for me and it took hours of repetition to get a significant grasp of the core principles. Often times I questioned whether Law School would in fact remain just a dream because of how difficult the LSAT was and how much anxiety it was causing me. Because of 7Sage little by little I made significant strides and accomplished my goal. I went from constant frustration and doubt to scoring a 156 on my first and only official LSAT. I am very happy with this score and even felt I could have done a bit better. This is all thanks to the 7Sage team and their incredible curriculum.

    If you're on the fence about signing up I promise you it's worth it. JY takes the time to really highlight the important concepts of the exam and even makes studying dull monotonous concepts exciting. Thank you JY for making my dream of going to law school a reality. I hope to one day have such a positive impact on a young career as you have for me.

    Are the upcoming LSATs still going to have an experimental section? I just took a preptest from June 2019 and it doesn't look like one of the sections was omitted. And then when I googled it, people were talking about the June 2022 one not having one either. Why is this? I'm taking mine in January.

    I got a 165 in Oct which I am extremely happy with, but since I was consistently PTing higher than 165 I decided to take the Nov test. My plan was to cancel the Nov Lsat score if it was anything lower than my 165. Well I got my Nov score back and it's a 164. Should I cancel this score since it's lower than 165 or should I keep it because it's only one point lower? A 164 is still above the medium LSAT sore of most of the schools I am applying to (LMU, USD, Pepperdine), but I am also applying to higher ranking schools and 165 is their medium.

    I am concerned that if I cancel it will look bad and I don't want admissions to assume I did a lot worse than 165. But I also don't want them to think I got lucky with my 165 if I do not cancel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Also my gpa is 3.56.

    I keep seeing people say that if you apply on the later side schools may run out of scholarship money, but then I see people talking about re-negotiating scholarships after the first seat deposit deadline in April.

    Does anyone know how this works/how much money schools usually have for later negotiations? I'm trying to get an idea of how much scholarship money a school would have left for an application submitted on February 1st if it was a top application for the school. Would they still have enough scholarship money to give that top applicant a good scholarship or will that applicant have to try through renegotiations?

    How can I do better on the Most Strongly Supported Questions?

    I read the lesson on this topic and follow the steps to choose the best answer. But every time I think I’m doing well, I do the practice questions and end up doing poorly which discourages me even more.

    I started out with a diagnostic of 148 and got 158 on my first administration before coming to 7Sage. Delayed applying for another year to relearn the foundation with the Core Curriculum and practiced for months on end. The progress took so long that there were many days when I felt there is no way I am getting to that 170 mark but alas! It may feel like it's not going to get better but I promise you, it will! Wish you all great success on this devilish test we call the LSAT and sending good energy to everyone applying this cycle :)

    I graduated with a decent GPA, a 3.8. I even received honors, Magna Cum Laude, but my freshman year I was a STEM major that I was pressured into and did not enjoy. That year I got about a 3.2 GPA, but I changed my major sophomore year and got a 4.0 every semester after. On top of that, I am from an extremely rural town (2,000 people, 2 hrs away from every major city, no stoplights lol) where I didn't have the best college preparation. I think that also factored into my low freshman year GPA. Since I graduated with a good GPA, and my transcript shows a change in major, I am wondering if I should write an addendum for that year of school? Or is it unnecessary because my grades increased significantly and the transcript kind of tells the story itself?

    On top of that I have taken the LSAT 3 times. However the first time was over a year ago, and I essentially didn't study. I scored a 159, which was pretty much my raw score. I took it again in October this year, getting a 165 and again in November, ending with a 167. Do I need to explain the first test? I basically had poor advising on whether or not I should take it (I was a full time student at the time as well). I shouldn't have taken the real test that first time, and the increase from that score to my final score is a bit of a jump, so i'm not sure if that warrants an explanation.

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

    So I've now scored a 157 twice and have a 3.52 GPA. My only goal is to get a full scholarship from New York Law School (about 25% of their students get full scholarships). I'm not concerned about getting in but am likely right on the borderline for the full scholarship and I know I can score better than a 157 if I take the January LSAT, but is it even worth it? I feel like I could definitely use a couple extra points to get me over the edge, but I called the admissions office and they said 200 spots have already been given out so I feel like I need to get mine in ASAP.
