Hello everyone. I’m a bit confused on how I should be doing my PTs and I’m hoping someone can clear up my confusion. So, up until this point I’ve been doing PTs without checking off the “simulate modern” box on the PTs. Should I be doing these PTs with the modern option enabled? In addition, does simulating modern tests still include 4 sections and only scores 3 of them or will it only include 3 sections all of which are scored? Thanks!

Hey!

So ive been attempting to study for the LSAT for god knows how many years now. I think I am finally ready to give it my all.

I was wondering if there are people here who have worked full time and also studied. How did you guys manage? I realize its so much harder because you spend 9-5:30pm working then studying.

If you have, can you explain how you did it and how many months it took you? Also, if you dont mind-- do you mind sharing your score? I got 148 on my practice test.

Thanks!!

What would you say is the common attitude law schools have towards multiple lsat scores? Do they encourage retaking the exam if you are confident you can improve? Do they average the scores or only really consider the highest? Thank you.

Hi guys,

Although I do have a relatively short study window (4 and a half months), my suggested study schedule from October and beyond consists only of practice tests. Is this normal?

Hi everyone! I hope all is well. Today I'm writing this thread looking for insights on how to approach my LSAT study. First, I think it's essential that you know I'm an incoming sophomore undergraduate student, so I still have plenty of time before I graduate college; however, I do want to spend my time wisely and begin prep already. Right now, I'm working my way up the core curriculum (at the moment still strengthening questions of logical reasoning). So my question is: should I do the whole curriculum before tackling practice tests (I only did one experimental prep test, and my score was 135)? I'm also unsure if I should do all the problem sets, considering they are real LSAT questions, and I don't know how I feel about wasting them. Does anybody have any tips for beginners in LSAT prep? Any tutor recommendations? How early should I get a tutor? As I work my way up the core curriculum or once I'm done with it?

Note: I'm shooting for a 175+

Any insights would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, 7Sage community.

Hey all was reviewing some MC conclusion questions and stumbled upon 2 structurally similar stimuli in exam PT 85 S2 10 and PT 73 S4 11. At a glance they are near identical with a claim endorsed by the author, followed by an opponent view which is then rebutted by the author. I find it hard to distinguish how the MC in 73 would be the rebbutle versus how 85 would say the MC is the original claim up top.

I feel like the answer and difference to this question has to do with how in 85 all premises and such would link back to the first sentence as the main conclusion whereas in 73, the first sentence is unsupported as nothing suggests that the company will develop weaknesses. However, it's kind of challenging to internalize that difference, everyway I view one of them I could easily apply to the other. Wonder what the rest of you guys think.

I have linked my LSAC account to my 7sage account already, but every time I attempt to take a PT the website tells me to link my account, when I click the link, I get a message saying "This coach is already assigned to this user". I only have one 7sage account, please advise.

The law school I try to apply is not T14, just local law school. I took the LSAT in August, but it seems like not very good. I'm thinking of taking LSAT in October, and the score will be released around Nov 2. I really need the scholarship, it is too late?

If my score from August is over the 75 percentile of the scores of the applicants, should I go ahead to apply with this score in order to increase my chance of getting scholarship? Or should I wait until November 2?

Really need advice.

I don't understand why B is the right answer. I chose E. Could someone #help me?

Hey 7Sage Community,

I'm planning on taking the LSAT this upcoming November, and am applying for additional time. I am doing so because I have both (1) ADHD, (2) an Astigmatism, and (3) a Convergence disorder. I imagine ADHD doesn't require much explanation, but the two other disorders are both eye disorders which make reading for long periods of time or at great speeds extremely difficult. As a result of these two disorders, I primarily read through audiobooks and filter all my University reading through text-to-speech software.

For all three of these disorders, I have records of professional diagnosis, supporting documentation, treatment by the in-staff doctors at Notre Dame, and a record of prior accommodation on my ACTs.

I'm wondering about two things:

What are the odds that my accommodations will be approved? I'm asking for 50% extra time. I imagine the LSAT is understandably diligent when it comes to verifying this sort of stuff (because the incentive to bullshit is immense), but I have all the necessary documents proving my conditions. I want to hear about other people's experiences because I want to know whether I should plan on practicing with the 50% additional time.

Is there anything I can do to more accurately communicate the nature of these disabilities? Is there anything that in the past has been successful for accommodation approval?

Hi everyone! I have been reading quite a few posts about difficulties with proctors. I was wondering if anyone had any advice to make sure things go smoothly on test day. I know every second of this test counts, and I would hate to lose precious time because of a miscommunication with a proctor. Thanks in advance!

So here is the sentence:

All men and women are merely players.

I know it should translate as: men and women➡️ merely players.

And the contrapositive should be: /MP ➡️/men or /women.

But why it shouldn't be translated separately? In this sentence, "men and women" is not some kind of combination, I think they are separate conditions. You don't need to be men and women at the same time to be merely players. Just being men or women can activate the sufficient condition. I mean the "and"here, is actually an exclusive OR.

So I think it should diagram as: men or women ➡️ merely players.

And the contrapositive should be: /MP ➡️/men and /women.

If you find me made any silly mistake, please point it out. I am really confused right now. Thanks in advance!

Question is the title. Basically, how big of an advantage is being in the military when applying to law school? Is it viewed favorably? Currently on active duty in the US Army.

What works best for blind reviewing logic games?

seems like it's an option for people i know. hope it helps :)

For PrepTest February 1997 - Section 3 - Question 25, what is the difference between C and D and what makes D correct? Super confused

Does anyone know the answer?

So, I'm having a hard time with LR averaging -5 through -10 every section even after BR. My main problem is that the question types that I'm getting wrong seem to be scattered all over the place. It's not just like weakening and assumptions, for example, but rather a little bit of everything that I'm getting wrong. So now I'm not sure how to proceed. Should I just continue drilling LR sections for practice or should I take a step back and continue learning about the fundamentals of all LR questions before more drills? (Currently reading The Loophole in LR & PowerScore LR Bible but not finished with either).

Just wanted to hear how the august re-testers feel about the test!

I had 2 LR and found the 1st was much easier so hopefully that one is the real one

I found RC to be very challenging and the last logic game was very confusing

Normally I only get around 1-2 LG wrong but that last question probably bumped that up to about 4-5

Any one else feel the same?

Would anyone know of in-person study groups in the LA area? Or is anyone interested in meeting up at a safe, quiet, place every so often for the upcoming LSAT?

I am taking the test for the first time.

I am ok with RC scoring on average -7 or -8. However, it is only when I do only 1 RC section. When I do the RC section, I usually have severe headaches Idk why.

Any suggestion on how to handle 2 RC sections on test day?

I am a senior girl looking for USC students in the area who want to form a study group!

During the problem set, this game really stumped me, because it doesn't use any typical gameboard setup and I had a really hard time finding an effective way to successfully visualize and toggle all the variables. JY's explanation (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-31-section-1-game-4/) had an okay game setup, but I still didn't like how it didn't represent the 2 vs 3-day possibilities or the distribution of the tasks over the days.

While I did only mediocre during my timed take of this game, during blind review I went back to the beginning and brainstormed ways to set up the board to fully and effectively represent all the variables, and I came up with this: (not sure the imgur embed is working so pls copy and paste this link into your browser) www.imgur.com/a/DKBdjxB https://imgur.com/a/DKBdjxB

This setup accounts for all possible gameboards (since the boards are determined by the Day and Task divisions) and there are only 5 (I realized the 5th possibility after I made the imgur link and cant be bothered to do it again, but it's a Day 1: FWT, Day 2: S, Day 3: P gameboard). I wrote the possible Crew Members next to each task in subscript, and kept rule 3b (Max 1 task/CM/Day) HEAVILY in mind. With this visualization of the game, the questions don't take much time at all!

For Q'S 19 and 21, I went down my second column and eliminated any answers that didn't have either I or K, then elim any without L or O, then any without L or G, etc. Made these Q's way faster than when I did the set timed, and with this info setup these questions took only 20-30 seconds each.

For the other 3 questions, you have to kind of blunt force them, but because you have all possible game boards you can kind of blunt force them in your head if you choose. This is where you want to keep rule 3b heavily in your mind, but be aware it can get jumbled in your head bc you're trying to track so many things.

Just wanted to share my game board set up because it made this game a thousand times easier, and I hope other people can benefit from this.
