I opted into the new "beta syllabus" and now I can't access anything other than logical reasoning. Even the contact button isn't working so this discussion page is my only option. This was my only evening to study this week and now it's completely fucked. What the hell?

Can someone please explain why C is right? What is the type of theft? #help

I need help deciding on a school! My deadline to accept (provisionally or firmly) uOttawa is tomorrow, but if I accept there, my acceptance from Osgoode will be cancelled. I'm not sure what to do. I know Osgoode is ranked much higher, but I'm nervous about living there. My career ambitions are to go into the government/human rights/non-profit/humanitarian/international development sector(s), and I simply don't know what to do. Maybe I could transfer schools if I end up not liking it? I'm so nervous! I have also yet to hear back from UBC or McGill, and I have a deferral from UVIC. Please help (in a gentle way, I'm quite fragile at the moment lol).

Edit:

I wanted to add that I would love to make community in law school as I went to a small commuter school in undergrad. I also want to consider the school's abroad program and opportunities for growth. Prestige isn't necessarily the most important thing but I would love to make kind friends and have a lot of opportunities within the subject areas that I want to pursue.

I am struggling to understand how this answer is supported by the stimulus. To run through my thoughts:

A: irrelevant, there is nothing about clams in the passage

B: irrelevant, we are not discussing the mussels spreading to the Mississippi or the effects on the pear industry

C: we don't have any information about removing the mussels from the areas they clog

D: This is the one I picked though I went back and forth between D and E. I picked D because it seemed to be the most related to the stimulus. The stimulus talks about how the mussels clog the intake pipes at the beginning and then transitions to talking about how bags of mussels suspended in discharge streams help clean water. I assumed without proof that the algae would just clog intake pipes as well.

E: This one seems like a logical conclusion, but I didn't think there was enough direct support in the stimulus to justify this conclusion. It seems like quite a jump to me to assume that the mussels will need to be discarded as hazardous waste.

Any advice or help on making the assumptions that need to be made in MSS problems? #help

Potatoes -> has solanine (poisonous in large quantities) -most-> solanine in the skin.

Domestic potatoes -> has small quantities (so not poisonous)

Wild potatoes -> poisonous level of solanine (must be in large number).

So peeled wild potatoes =safe= unpeeled domestic tomatoes

What to warrant that the wild potatoes fall within this MOST group where the solanine stays in the skin?

A. So the amount of solanine in the skin of wild potatoes is more than the skin of domesticated potatoes. So peeling the skin of wild potatoes wouldn’t make it safer to eat than domesticated potatoes? Not at least as safe as

B. So removing this means removing the poisonous part.

C. So the peeled wild potato has the same amount of solanine as an unpeeled domesticated potato. Yes, as safe as.

D. Why does this matter.

E. Size doesn’t matter, its the quantity of solanine.

I am considering pausing/cancelling my 7sage subscription for a month, as it will be a busy time. I originally purchased my subscription to 7sage in November, along with the mandatory LSAC test access purchase for ~100$. My access to LSAC prep will end in November 2023. If I were to cancel my subscription for May 2023, and restart it in June 2023, would I have to pay another additional 100$ for LSAC again, or would I simply go back to paying my regular monthly 7sage access charge?

As I am working with my tutor and going through the CC and getting more of a deeper understanding or the test, I feel more confused than when I was studying just by drilling and PTing through Khan academy. My scores before were pretty alright, with a high of 165.

Now that I am learning the CC, I feel like I overthink all the questions and I have learned so much in so little time that it is hard to remember it all when I am doing questions. How have you gotten past this? To some extent I know it is just me essentially having to unlearn my intuition which had gotten me to where I was. But how long should I expect that to take?

I want to score a min of 170, but really am shooting for 175+, and while I theoretically have a long time to study, I want to take the Aug. test.

I've been stuck around 159 for a couple of months now. I took a month off studying which I regret because I had been steadily improving and after jumping back in I've been stuck where I left off. My goal is to break through 160, I would be super happy if I could get a 165. Planning to retake the exam in August and have plenty of time to study until then. Managed a 160 on PT92, and a 159 on the Feb LSAT this year.

LG has been my nemesis from the beginning so I've exclusively focused on studying LG. I went from missing about -17 questions to now average -11. I have a couple of learning disabilities that make LG extra challenging, but I would love to bump my average up tiny bit more in this section. My reading comp average is -5, and LR is -6.8. I'm thinking it might be time to switch gears a bit and stop neglecting the other sections during my studying. I drill and review LG a few hours a day for 2-4 days a week and try and take a PT at least once a month right now. I should have a bit more time to study starting May and hope to PT weekly and study 3-5 days a week for a min of 3-5 hours.

I would love to hear any advice about how I should shift my study strategy over the next couple of months to bump my score a few more points by August.

Also curious to hear from other folks with ADHD or other learning disabilities about any unconventional study tips that were helpful.

Thanks in Advanced!

Hi folks! I've been studying for the LSAT very part-time for the last six months. I've definitely improved since I've started. I feel like I understand the test, but I don't feel I'm improving beyond that. I'm reading, drilling, blind reviewing, but I feel like nothing is sticking. I've signed up for the June LSAT, and I hope to make some large strides during May. Does anyone have any tips on how they pushed through and started regularly strategizing successfully? Would love any tips you have! Thank you so much! Happy studying!

I keep a wrong answer journal, and I go back to re-do questions every month. So far I have been finding the PT, "taking" it (but really just leaving all the questions blank until I get to the one I need), then deleting the entire test. There must be an easier way??

Hey 7Sagers!

We're launching the beta version of the new Core Curriculum which teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively! If you're curious, go to your account settings via this link: https://classic.7sage.com/account/?try_v2=1

❗ Remember, this version is still undergoing beta testing. You may come across a few quirks or notice some features from Version 1 that aren't quite yet integrated. We're doing our best to fully switch over, and we appreciate your patience as our team makes the switch!

If you want to learn more, you can watch this YouTube video:

💡 Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions regarding Version 2. If your question isn't answered on this forum post, then feel free to comment and ask below! For now, please keep all questions regarding the new Core Curriculum on this thread. If you have any feedback regarding Version 2, we'd love to hear it, too!

So...what's the difference?

CCv2 (Core Curriculum Version 2) presents LR through a more streamlined and unified theoretical framework. It's not completely different from CCv1, but we've thoroughly explained LR in CCv2. The RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same.

The new core lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

Can I switch back to Version 1 if I want to?

Yes! If you would like to switch back to the old Core Curriculum, scroll to the top of our "Syllabus" page and click the "Switch to V1" button. It's next to the "Collapse" button.

Should I immediately switch?

We think yes. Since Version 2 teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively, we recommend switching to CCv2 completely. Please note that the RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same. What's changed are the Foundations and Logical Reasoning lessons. Additionally, the new lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

I've already completed Version 1. Should I go back and redo Version 2?

In this situation, the best way to utilize Version 2 is to look at which question types in your analytics you think you should prioritize, and then view the new lessons for that question type. For example, if your analytics say that you should prioritize Sufficient Assumption questions, then go study and review the new lessons on Sufficient Assumptions.

Version 2 is shorter than Version 1. Should I be worried?

Not at all! JY has explained the Logical Reasoning lessons in Version 2 in a more efficient manner. The RC and LG sections are still the same.

I'm around halfway through LR in Version 1. Should I switch over to Version 2 to complete LR, or should I stick with Version 1?

With where Version 2 is right now, we think you'll get the most out of your studies by switching over. There's no need to redo modules that you've already done, unless you find yourself needing a refresher, but we think that Version 2 approaches LR in a more unified theoretical framework, which can help with your learning process!

I can't find CCv2 in my Syllabus!

Email our student services and let them know (studentservice@7sage.com). They can switch your account on the back end.

Are the lessons in CCv2 fully complete?

Yes! CCv2 is fully complete and you can use it without switching back to CCv1.

Why are there no video lessons for the Foundation lessons?

JY is currently in the process of recording video lessons for the Foundation lessons. Stay tuned for updates on their availability!

I just wanted input from someone who may be in the same situation as mine.

I took the April exam and registered for the June on already. Whether you are in the same situation or not, would one

be kidding themselves if your goal is to gain 8-13 points with the studying that can happen in the time gap between now and the June exam?

Would you hold taking the June exam and postpone it (as well as your law school journey)?

Hello,

Can someone please explain the blind review process to me because I am not understanding. I am just starting to study for the LSAT.

I have no cumulative GPA calculation because I competed less than 60 graded credits of U.S./Canadian undergraduate-level work prior to the awarding of the international degree.

I've got 4.22/4.5 GPA from non U.S. undergraduate and 3.88/4.0 GPA from U.S. undergraduate.

According to LSAC Academic Summary Report, Degree(Summary) GPA is 3.81 and there's no Cumulative GPA.

Do law schools look my GPA as 3.81 or do they calculate cumulative GPA combined with both schools? If I calculate all the credits I've got from both schools with LSAC grade conversion table, my overall GPA is 4.02, which is pretty much higher than 3.81.

help Please advise me if you know how my GPA affects the law school admission.

For the past 10 months I've been studying part time for the LSAT. Out of all the sections, RC has consistently given me the most trouble and has been the most difficult section for me to improve on. From my diagnostic test to now, I've only been able to manage going from -15 to -10 (sometimes -8/-9 on a good day). I'm at a loss and I'm not sure what else I can do to improve. This section has been holding me back big time and is part of the reason why score fluctuates so greatly. If anyone has any tips on how I can improve, study, and review this section better, please let me know. I think my biggest issue is not having a strategy when going into RC and immediately feeling intimated/nervous about completing the section. Any advice or words of encouragement would be appreciated.

How does the score conversion work? Like if only 3 sections count, are they accounting for the fourth that we take, assuming we don't take it 'simulated modern'? Or do they just completely not count the experimental section as the actual LSAT would?

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! Whether you are taking the June test or you are studying now for a future test, join us for our next "Study Group Breakout" on Tuesday, May 16th from 8:00-9:30pm ET.

Here's how it works:

Register for the Breakout no later than Monday, May 15th.

Take PT55 Section 2 (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! You can do this by going to the "Practice" tab and choosing "Drills," then selecting "Newer" PTs, selecting "Reading Comprehension," and scrolling to PT55 S2. You will have to individually add each passage to your drill, but hit "Create drill with 4 passages" at the bottom right when finished, and voila!

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://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwofuivpj4tE9CSAtfTD9JURGaw71Tb6OmH

Hi - anyone else experiencing this?

When I'm trying to add a class onto my Google calendar using the link from the class session's page, it does take me to my Gcalendar, but it adds the entire 7Sage class calendar to mine. It subscribes me to the 7Sage class calendar so that they all appear, unless I deselect the 7Sage calendar. There's no way for me to pick and choose the class I want, which is the way it used to work for me.

Why is the answer to this question C and not B?

Ok so I am taking my LSAT in November if anyone is interested in forming a study group. We can either meet in person or on zoom. If we meet in person, I live in the palmdale, ca area.

Hi Friends!

I'm wondering when I should use the lawgic notation vs when not to use it.. sometimes it's less challenging for me to rely on intuition + general understanding than to draw the relationships.. and the thing is that often times by the time I figure out that I need to use lawgic - it's already too late and I need to pass over to the next question..

any thoughts??

Thanks!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment below.

Hey everyone! I took college classes in high school at a community college. I got into UCF right after high school, so they all got transferred to my college transcript. Question: When I submit my transcripts to LSAC, do I submit just one from UCF ( it includes my dual enrollment classes) or do I submit one from UCF and also one from the community college? If yes, will law schools think that I attended community college after high school? Thank you in advance!

I don't get how (a) can strengthen the argument. It says "several species of shellfish and seabirds in the North Sea waters.." but how can being in the North Sea help the conclusion? Isn't it also possible that those shellfish and seabirds died because of the distemper virus, not the pollution?
