Whats your study plan for January?

Hi, so I've been done the LR section of the curriculum for a while now, and LR is pretty much my best section at the moment, but I have always wondered one question and it's whether or not mapping out hard 5 star LR questions like MBT or parallel method of reasoning is a good habit during PTs and even on test days. JY has typically said to be able to manage it in one's head from what I remember, but I wanna hear if anyone thinks otherwise. This would be on the given scrap paper, obviously.

Hey everyone, i'm currently scoring in the low to mid 160's and i'm aiming to increase it to the upper 160's. I always BR there and definitely think it's possible. However, I have a limited amount of prep tests and only 10 weeks til my test. For those who overcame this hurdle, can you give some advice on what you did differently or started doing that got you there. Whether it is new drills, how you started approaching certain sections, study tips, etc.. I'm open to any suggestion and would highly appreciate it!

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I recently got hired for another paralegal position (I had one in the past, but I switched over to doing remote freelance paralegal work on Upwork for the past few months to focus on the LSAT). Do you guys think I should add that to my resume? The start on the resume would show 11/2022 and I'm planning on submitting my application right after I get the November LSAT back. I already have a few positions in my work history, not a lot but not insignificant either.

Thanks!

Hello All! Although I am not applying this cycle (2022 to begin Fall 2023) I will be applying next cycle and would love to learn when is the best time to visit law schools and meet with admissions. I know they are very busy certain times of the year and would want to be respectful of that and of course meet with them at the most convenient times. I live on the west coast and will be planning a east coast tour so any feedback or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I received a couple noise violations during my freshman year in the student dorms. I was written up by the RA and had to meet with them to discuss the community guidelines. I was given a warning, but nothing else came of it. Is this something law schools expect us to disclose on a C&F addendum? This isn't on my permanent record, and I didn't receive any other disciplinary action related to the incident.

I have been out of undergrad for 3 years and work full time as a legal assistant. I scored a 150 in June and a 158 in October (I started using 7Sage in August to help study prep) I feel confident since my PT scores are in the 165+ range that I should re-take in January. I am working on safety school apps as well at the moment and plan to apply to goal school in February with my new score. If I have another significant score increase, do I need to write a LSAT addendum? What are the recommendations for people with multiple scores?

Greetings, All!

We will record the panel and post it to our podcast!

I am an Indian guy looking to change career directions by studying law in US. I don't have much idea about the information process since there's not much available in this part of the world about LSAT and how to go about it. Any responses would be welcome.

Hi everyone!

I just started the curriculum about 2 weeks ago. Right now, I am finishing up the Main Point and Conclusion section, and I was wondering when would be a good time to begin taking full length Practice Tests. Should I wait a while longer until I get past some of the other logic sections, or jump right in?

Ok so in my November Lsat I kept seeing this weird question stem that I have not seen anywhere before?

I don't really recall the exact wording but it was something like which one of the following could be true but may not be?? something along those lines? It was kind of combining two question stems together? I'm not sure if anyone knows the question stems I'm talking about but if you do please help a man out.

Thanks

I've been plateauing in the low 160s - mid 160s for almost 6months. I went through all the popular prep books and have started re-reading them recently to check if I missed any fundamentals. To be honest, I think I am weak in all three sections. Usually, when I drill (timed mode), I don't get as many questions wrong as I do in PTs. For example, when I recycle my old PTs, including those I don't even remember the questions, I usually get 0-2 wrong in games, 3-5 wrong in LR, and 4-6 wrong in the RC. For the PTs I do remember, I tend to score better.

Whenever I try new PTs, the problem is that my score always returns to the low 160s. I missed so many questions that I think I could have gotten right. Recently, I get around 160-164 as scaled score while my blind review score is around low 170s. I feel extremely pressured when solving new PTs, but I don't know why this is constantly happening. Is it just because I didn't practice enough? I get disappointed in myself every day and feel totally lost. What should I do to break out of this endless plateau?

Hi guys, I took the November Lsat and I’ve just been stressed about not getting the score I was anticipating. If that is the case, do you think the February lsat is too late to take it?

So, for questions that the answer choices have 'one' in them>>>

Example

"The end of an action is the intended outcome of the action and not a mere by-product of the action, and the end's value is thus the only reason for the action."

When I attacked this one, I eliminated the choices that had "One can" in them because I didn't think that was the subject of the conclusion.

Can anyone explain how to approach answer choices with that ("one can") in them, and why I need to be able to decipher what the choice is really summarizing about the conclusion?

Is there a stimulus to know that one of these types of choices will be correct?

I just understand the mindset I should have towards questions like these. These are some of the more difficult type LR questions (174 was the cap on the gray scale).

Much appreciated!

I heard that the Logic Games would be removed in 2023, does anyone know which month or if this is even true? I plan to take my LSAT in February and have been studying for a whole year. I always get -0 on LG and it is my best section that allows me to get a good score after months and months of foolproofing. I read some sources saying June 2023 and some saying January 2023, but also all the sources I read were from 2019 so i'm not even sure if they're accurate. Please lmk if you have any info on this.

So in the last 3 weeks (after 3 months of diligently studying the 7sage CC) I have scored the following:

89: 166 | 80: 164 | 62: 178 | 69: 172 | 82: 167

..aand I'm officially freaked out that the LR wording changes/increased difficulty beginning in the 80s are throwing me, as my RC and LG are both a lot more consistent ( RC -2-4ish and LG -0-2). Has anyone else noticed this in their scores and, if so, what did you do to try to counteract? Since PT80 I've been prioritizing wrong answer journaling, which feels like it's helping a lot, but perhaps to the detriment of more consistent drilling? I'm taking January and would obviously love to crack the elusive 17x barrier in ten weeks. I've been saving the 80s and 90s for the home stretch - but any advice is welcome before I trudge onwards.. #help

Hi everyone! I just took five practice questions and for PT B, section 4, question 25. If anyone has this question open or has worked on it recently, I'd greatly appreciate the help!

I selected D but the answer choice was A, I'm not understanding how the answer ended up being that both towns are comparable in living cost/price. How is this the main point?? Thank you very much in advance :)

Hi! I'm trying to study logic games by type (ie. In/Out., Grouping, Linear, etc.). Is there a resource where the games for PTs 1-93 are comprehensively sorted? Thanks

Hello , I need some advice regarding the ASU binding admission- O’Connor Merit Scholars program vs regular admission. I am not sure which one to chose and If selecting the binding program would hurt me because my LSAT score is below the schools median . Thank you !

Every time I complete a drill it never shows me the answers. 7 sage can you please provide instructions on what I'm supposed to click after I completed the last question?

I currently have a 154 on the lsat with a 3.43 GPA. I took the November exam two weeks ago, but was interrupted by the proctor. so LSAC gave me a retest today. However, I was distracted by people talking from each side of the room and flunked my logic games section. I doubt I made a score higher than 154 and already took the lsat three times this year. I usually score around the high 150s and low 160s which is why I was so disappointed in how things turned out. What should I do at this point? Should I just attend a lower ranked law school? How much will my personal statement or resume help with my admission? Thanks!

Has anyone ever gotten an exception to the three test per year rule and took it a fourth time?

Does anyone’s else’s Nov Lsat notes say Score Validity Review?

I’m super nervous there’s not much info on exactly what it means. Seem like some people had theirs canceled and I’m am hoping that is not the case. Any insight would be helpful.

I took diagnostic test 2 months ago, 151

I took 1st prep test 2 weeks ago, 149

I took 2nd prep test 2 weeks ago, 152,

I took 3rd prep test today, 153

My goal is 165. I was always super excited to take prep tests, because I felt i learned a lot and would expect significant improvement. but the results were always disappointing.

Anyone has similar experiences? In 3 months, there is very little progress if any. Is this typical?

I'm not sure if I understand the AC right regarding the video lesson, Harrold Foods Hero - Flaw Question (https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/harrold-foods-hero-flaw-question/).

Can anyone #help me understand and identify all the referential inferences in (D)?

(D) taking evidence (1) that a claim (2) is believed to be true to constitute evidence (3) that the claim (4) is in fact true.

evidence (1): ____________.

a claim (2): ____________.

evidence (3): ____________.

the claim (4): ____________.

Here is what I understand:

(D) taking evidence (Belief of most (72%) of consumers) that a claim (Harold foods dominates the market) is believed to be true to constitute evidence (product with more than 50 percent of sales in a market is dominating it) that the claim (Harold foods dominates the market) is in fact true.

evidence (1): Belief of most (72%) of consumers

a claim (2): Harold foods dominates the market

evidence (3): product with more than 50 percent of sales in a market is dominating it

the claim (4): Harold foods dominates the market

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
