Was anyone else completely stumped on how to even go about this question? I’d love to be able to discuss it._

Do you guys type the stimulus and AC or is there a way we can copy the words and save some time? The screenshot is not quite convenient for me because I'm not using an iPad. Thanks!>

Is there a way I can just purchase a session with an admissions person on 7Sage to edit/talk about my personal statement? Help, thank you!

Will doing all the problem sets mess up my ability to take the practice LSATs? If anyone here did all the problem sets and then encountered the same questions in the LSAT, please let me know if it messed with your ability to accurately take the practice LSATs.

Thank you.

Hi, is anyone interested in reviewing PT 93 together today or tomorrow before the November exam? I got a 178 but I was really lucky & want to go over some LR & RC questions. Please PM me and I'll send you a Zoom link :)

Can anyone explain why pt 93 s3 q25 is A and why B-E are wrong? I struggled with this one but ended up choosing D.

Hello everyone! I am consistently getting flaw or descriptive weaking questions wrong. No matter what I do, I just cannot improve. Does anyone have tips for these types of questions? Also, just in general. I always get stuck between two answers and choose the wrong one. Sometimes I choose the right one and over think and then I change it. How can I gain more confidence in myself?

I've just finished my resume and really need someone who could give me a proofread. Have been asking around but none of my friends have any experience with applying for a US law school. Really insecure about the resume. Don't know if it is what the law school ask for.

Would someone be willing to review my resume? Much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

So bewildered by this question that I have to post on the discussion forum. Why is answer choice E correct??? After analyzing all the answer choices, it seems to me that NONE of the answer choices is even close to being correct. If someone can see a flaw in my reasoning, please advise.

Missing Assumption: the higher amount of pollutants in the Baltic Sea is making the Baltic seals more susceptible/succumb-able to viral diseases and therefore is what's causing the higher rate of viral deaths in Baltic seals (compared to Scottish seals).

In other words, we're assuming that it is not some alternative cause that's causing the higher viral death rate in the Baltic seals (for example, what if the viruses infecting the 2 islands are different, and the virus in the Baltic sea is just more deadly than the virus in the Scottish sea?)

A: Irrelevant - doesn't make it more believable that the higher rate of viral deaths in B is due to pollutants. Knowing more about the Scottish seals doesn't really matter here!

B: Might've be a potential strengthener if it said "Baltic seals" instead of "Scottish seals", but even then we would have to make the assumption that the virus infecting the two islands were the same kind of virus in order for us to see this as a strengthener.

However, it's still talking about the Scottish seals, which again is not what we care about!

C: Easiest choice to eliminate. Irrelevant!

D : "The kinds of pollutants" is irrelevant to our discussion here, because we care about the amount and not type of pollutants. In other words, even if the pollutants are different between the 2 islands are different, I'm not more convinced that the higher amount of pollutants in B is what resulted in the higher rate of viral deaths in B.

E: Also irrelevant to the issue at hand! Even if the viral death rate was higher for other sea mammals in the Baltic sea, it doesn't make me believe more that it is SPECIFICALLY the pollutants that are causing the higher viral death rates! The only thing this AC does for me is convince me that there is certainly something different between the Baltic and Scottish seas that's making the Baltic seals die more from viral diseases, however we have no idea if that "something" is pollutants or if it's something else! For example, given the additional info in E, it could still very well be that it is NOT the pollutants causing the higher viral death rates, but a deadlier virus that infects all marine mammals in the Baltic seas - because the virus in the Baltic sea is different and deadlier than the virus in the Scottish sea, the seals die more from this virus in the Baltic seas (than in the Scottish seas from the weaker virus). It could still very well be that the higher level of pollutants in the Baltic seals' blood is just a coincidence and not the real cause of their higher viral death rate.

If you see where I've gone wrong in my reasoning, please help!

I'm scoring in the low 160s and I want to maximize my score as much possible in the next 5 weeks.o I will be studying full time,8 hours every single day, tapering down as the test gets closer.

Just wanted to know what other peoples plan of attack is? Also if anyone wants a study buddy/study group for this test please let me know. I'm planning on studying from 4am PST to 8amPST and then from 2pm PST to 6pm PST every day.

Good luck to everyone else taking the November LSAT!

Can we use an ipad on the digital lsats? I'm confused how we're supposed to highlight or do any marking quickly if we have to use a mouse on a laptop rather than a stylus that can function like a pen

I got this answer correct but I did not diagram. Not sure how to diagram this stimulus. Thanks!

I am between AC (C) and (D), however feel (C) is incorrect due to the wording of such. While the part about "providing reasons for rejecting an alternative course of action" fits the description, answer choice (C) also claims "it arrives at it's conclusion indirectly". The word indirectly is what is throwing me off, as the conclusion of the argument "The Transit Authority’s proposal to increase fares by 40 percent must be implemented." is DIRECTLY stated in the very first sentence. Can someone please explain?

Admin note: Edited to remove the stimulus and answer choices. You can see our Forum Rules here: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/15/forum-rules

Can anyone explain why S3 Q24 on PT 93 is B and not C? I know C has the conclusion less clearly delineated but other than that it seems to match up slightly better.

Hello 7 sage community!

Just wanted to give those studying hard for the LSAT a glimmer of hope during these hard times. 3 years ago, I was studying for the LSAT for the 3rd time. I had been studying on and off since I graduated undergrad in 2014. It was not until I committed to 7sage and studied full time in 2017 that I began to see results. My first score was a 148 and my final score was a 159. I was one correct question away from a 160. Although that one point was extremely frustrating, I took my chances and decided to apply to schools anyway.

I know there are a TON of overachievers on this site and you'll find plenty more in law school --- but my 159 helped get me a full- tuition scholarship at Northeastern University School of Law (NUSL). For those wanting to go into public interest, I highly recommend this school. It has solidified my path to pursue social justice and luckily, I will graduate debt-free! That being said, a 159 is still below Northeastern's median LSAT score of 162. I had a ton of public interest experience, am a minority (child of Mexican immigrants), and the first to graduate college in my family. I think this diversity came to an advantage as over half of the school is white. Nevertheless, the big picture is that I am not perfect, I did not have super high LSAT scores, my GPA was a 3.25, but a full ride is attainable! I am now a 2L at NUSL and would be happy to answer any questions you may have!

Happy studying,

Stephanie

What're your guys' thought on NEU Law? General thoughts, advice, anything

Hi,

I've been feeling helpless for the past couple of weeks after taking my first LSAT in October and now I'm feeling ready to move forward and ask for some advices.

I quit my job in the beginning of this year to study full-time for LSAT and apply for this cycle.

I didn't feel ready to take the exam in June so I postponed it to October and got 156 which was below what I have expected. (my gpa: 3.4)

I was aiming to get 160-165 and most of my PT scores were 160.

After the test, I thought I was okay with the timing but I misread one rule in the LG section which ruined that whole game.

I considered cancelling the score since it was my first, but then I thought I should apply by mid-November with this score and tell the schools that I'll be retaking it in January.

I'm thinking this will be better than cancelling the score and applying in January with the new score.

With the current LSAT score and GPA, I'm worried that I won't have a chance at getting accepted to second tier schools.

I'm feeling very discouraged at the moment. I would appreciate any kind of advices.

Hi,

I've been keeping track of all my answers that I've gotten wrong on PTs and in the CC, and hoping to make some drills to go back and do them a second time. I've already made a drill using 44 of the questions, but I can't edit it to be shorter/longer after creation, and any other drill I want I have to go through and input each individual question I got wrong in the CC.

Is there a faster way to do this that I don't know about? Maybe a way of creating custom tags/making all of these questions available in a certain spot to make a drill of any particular size?

Can anyone explain why E is the correct answer choice? I thought the premise sets out that we could only choose from anarchy and totalitarian government control. If we cannot question the premise, why is this E correct? Thanks!

Does anyone know the score conversion for PT 93? Is it reliable to score the test based on PT 91/92's scales? I took it on LawHub.

Thanks!

Hi, does anybody know if there are any mock proctored practice tests happening before the Nov LSAT? If not, would anyone want to do a zoom call pt before?

I am applying to law schools next cycle and I was wondering if I should go to the forum this year or next year?

I registered the exam on Feb but I feel I am not prepared for it and kinda wanna cancel it. Will the schools I will apply know that I cancelled and never took a test?

#HELP!

I took the October exam, scored 168 which wasn't too surprising since that had been my score on several PTs leading up to the test. I am signed up for next week & goal is to score 171+. Took the newly released PT 93 today & scored my highest ever, 175!!!!

I am super conflicted because if I take the test next week, it will be my 4th time & if I score lower than 168, I don't want admissions to think that the score is a fluke and not something I worked hard for. If I score higher than 170, great! However, is this a risk worth taking? For reference, I would like to attend a T20 school with substantial scholarships, looking at USC Law for which I fall right at the median LSAT but lower than median GPA.

This question was tough for me. I thought I didn't need the third sentence. Picked D but wasn't confident with it. Not sure how E is correct. Please help.
