A bit of context: I am currently 2+ years out of undergrad. I worked in a summer research program during undergrad where I worked closely with a graduate student, who was on a PhD track and one of the principal researchers on the project. In addition, I spoke every 2 weeks with the supervising Professor on the program to touch base with him about research progress. The graduate student was my main mentor, and he had daily insight into my daily research work.

From what I gather from online sources, a professor in my major would be the optimal person to write my LOR. However, I feel that the graduate student who supervised my daily work is much more familiar with my work ethic and research abilities. Would law schools view a personalized, well-written letter from a graduate student mentor/instructor less favorably compared to a more general, but still overall positive LOR from a professor?

Thanks!

Are you looking for an easy way to find people to study with? Or do you just want a break from reviewing questions on your own?

You're in luck! Join us for our next "Study Group Breakout" on Tuesday, November 8th from 9:00-10:30pm ET.

Here's how it works:

  • Register for the Breakout no later than Monday, November 7th.
  • Take PT52 Section 4 (based on 7Sage's numbering - should be an RC section) and blind review it, but DON'T look at the answers (I suggest you take it as a "Drill" rather than as a PrepTest)!
  • Log in to the Breakout Session at the appointed time. We will automatically place you in a group of 3-5 students with similar scores so you can review the section together.
  • At the end of the session, you can exchange emails and keep meeting if you enjoyed the group.
  • Hope to see you there! Register for the event using this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMvcOmsrzIqGt3h0wVqnDsJjKE32CTxHXEs

    Forgive me if this question has been mentioned already, but is it that important to put every single piece of information, such as pronouns, parents education, if ive ever received a federal pell grant and such? Thanks in advance!

    Hey guys!

    I'm sure this question has been posted before, but I wanted to get some input on what others think of this. Since there are only a couple weeks left until the November LSAT, I wanted to change up the way I take my last prep tests.

    I'm thinking of simulating a "modern" LSAT and afterwards grabbing a LR, RC, or LG section and taking that as my experimental section. That way, I get a better idea of what my score will actually be since not simulating the modern test counts all 4 sections. Not simulating the modern test and taking all my prep tests with 2 LR sections makes me nervous that a second LG or RC section would throw me off on test day.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi 7Sage,

    I'd like to ask a question about changing my subscription, and when I try to navigate to "Contact Us," it's not clickable as a link. Due to that, I can't seem to find an email address, phone number, or form fill to ask my question. What is the best way to get in touch with 7Sage to ask questions related to my account?

    Thank you!

    I've been experimenting with reading the answers in reverse order ie e) first and then a) last.

  • I feel like there's a psychological component to the ordering of answer choices, and the test creators design answers trying to trap test takers and their assumption is that the average test taker will read the answers from a) to e)
  • One trap that I feel like they use is sometimes some really juicy looking trap answers are in the earlier choices, and they are just looking for you to get emotionally tied to that answer and just skim read the answer choices.

    If the ordering of answers plays into their strategies for trapping test takers, then starting in reverse order neutralizes their trap.

    The most common correct answer is D, so starting in reverse order means you see D sooner.

    Even if I'm wrong there's no real downside to going in reverse.

    Thoughts?

    I just wanted to come on here and thank J.Y and the entire 7sage team for helping me achieve a goal that I never thought would be possible! I started studying seriously in July 2020 and proceeded to take the LSAT in June 2021. I thought it would be impossible to overcome the daunting 170 hump while also working full-time at a law firm, but with the tips and lessons uploaded on 7sage, I was able to achieve just that. I want to say, these videos and resources really really do work and is worth every penny. And I am happy to say my LSAT journey is over!!!! If I can do it, so can you.

    Hey y'all

    It's rare for an answer to attack the premise and be right, but how rare is it after PT75.

    On question 75.3.13: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-75-section-3-question-13/

    The correct answer choice contradicts a premise in the argument, now as this is against the learned approach of never attack the premises. How often is it seen in the rest of the prep tests? If it is often, how did you guys adjust your process of thought in order to get these type of questions right.

    -Moreover, if y'all have some drills to be more consistent at getting 4/5 star difficulty questions right I would highly appreciate it!

    Greetings,

    I have a 4.2 LSAC GPA and a 163 LSAT. Evidently, I am an extreme example of a reverse-splitter, and I am unsure if I should write an addendum letter at all. I am currently applying to uPenn Carey Law, which I have heard favours splitters to some extent. If anyone has any advice, feel free to reply.

    Hi everyone!

    I saw someone else's post for tutoring and thought I could do the same. I plan on taking the November LSAT and I am also currently scoring 165+, so it wouldn't be anything seriously official. I am looking to have consistency in my LR section by working through questions and explaining using a specific process.

    Let me know if you are interested!

    I did the LR section of the 7sage course, and am a little better at identifying the correct answer, but still don't feel like I am where I should be, is the best way to improve in LR just to spam out drills?
