Greetings, 7Sagers!

On Wednesday, June 22 at 8 p.m. ET, I'll be joined by fellow admissions consultants, Jacob Baska, Elizabeth Cavallari, and Tracy Simmons. Each of us have served as senior admissions officers at law schools across the country. As a panel, we'll discuss aspects of the general law school admissions application and process, and we will reserve time toward the end of the panel for audience Q&A. If you're in the process of getting prepared to apply this fall to begin classes in 2023, you don't want to miss it!*

*Note: We will record this session for our podcast listeners, so if you do have to miss us, we will share the recording after the conclusion of the event.

Hi Everyone! I started to do Prep Tests (have completed about 6), however on the Analytics page, it doesn't seem to update and only shows data from one test. Has anyone had a similar issue?

I arrived at the correct answer, (A), by process of elimination. I understand why (B)-(E) are incorrect, but how does (A) strengthen the argument?

Im just wondering is there any limitations on writing test date? can I do it the day after the multiple choice test ?

How can I do the logic game problem set over without seeing the answers? I did it one time, struggled now want to do it for the second time. Please help!

How long does it typically take to study for the LSAT? I’m retaking my test in September and I’m working through the core curriculum now. Is 3 months studying 30-40 hours a week a reasonable timeframe?

Hey all! Just need some advice on which section of the CC I should dive into first. I know typically it's recommended to follow the outlined structure: LR -> LG -> RC. I worked on LR predominantly on another curriculum before switching to 7Sage and it's one of my better sections. I haven't touched LG, at all, and know it's my weakest.

That being said, do you recommend I just tackle LG first?

hello guys,

i am looking at the lsat score conversion calculator that is provided on the home page of 7 sage. What is confusing me is this: when i put the number of questions that I'm allowed to get wrong in order to calculate what it takes to get the score i want, should I put the number of wrong questions on the entire 100 questions of the test or only on the 3 graded sections which make up roughly 75 questions? i ask this because if lets say I make 20 mistakes in 100 questions, but 15 in the 75 questions, I am not sure which one to put in the conversion calculator. When I put 15, I obviously get a better score, but im not sure if this number is inflated because it is assuming a lower group of questions per test then the calculator intends for me to assume.

I would appreciate your help as it would allow me to see how close to my goal I really am!

So I took the June 2007 test before doing much of the material. I missed one question in logical reasoning and two in reading comprehension (and bombed the logic games). Obviously I'm focusing my prep on the logic games right now. But should I feel secure in my ability with the logical reasoning+reading comprehension? Could that one test be a fluke? How much prep should I do with those two sections? I'm aiming for an excellent score; I'd like to go to a top law school.

Thanks!

LSAC just sent out an email mentioning that we should not take the test in a room with floor to ceiling windows, but this wasn't explicitly discussed in the Candidate Agreement. The candidate agreement says no rooms with glass walls (like cubicles), so this entire time I've been planning to take my test in my kitchen where I have a dining table. However, the kitchen leads to the backyard so there is a sliding door that is almost floor to ceiling...what should I do?

Hi, does anyone know how to get rid of the blue messenger icon in the corner? It directly covers the "next" arrow when I'm taking practice modules and it's really annoying. Can't seem to find a way to disable it.

Backstory is I'm applying for my second year, I have a 160 on the books but applied way too late so I'm taking another shot in August before I put in applications in the 22 cycle.

I consistently test out at 165, looking to work on my endurance for RC and LR but I haven't done any LG in a few months. If others are is in a similar setting then let's get a study group off the ground.

Hi - I am confused - do we need to create a ProctorU username and password ahead of time?

It seems to suggest it in Step#4 here: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat

but it wouldn't let me when I tried here: https://go.proctoru.com/students/users/new

I think I have learned the key to LR.

Overall you can classify most LR questions by the type of answer they are looking for.

Powerful Question Types

Strengthen

Weaken

Sufficient Assumption

Paradox

Provable

Necessary Assumption

Flaw

Main Conclusion

If you focus in on these chareteristics of correct answer choices you will be able to rule out most of the time 3/5 answer choices. Leaving you with a 50 percent chance to get the answer correct. Once you've done this you look at the two answer choices and look to see whats wrong with one rather than whats correct about one.

Hi Yall,

Anybody have any idea when LSAC will be releasing new tests for practice?

Hey guys, so I am testing my laptop for this weekend and I've allowed camera and microphone use, but everytime I test it, it says that camera width and height are not found. Can anyone please help me?

Has anyone used a mobile hotspot on an official exam recently? I used a hotspot when I took the exam in June 2021 and I had no issues. I don't think I let my proctor know that but my phone was in sight of the camera the whole time. I'm retaking the exam this Saturday and I just read over the rules and it says that we can't use a hotspot or VPN...I don't know if this is a new rule but I'm not really sure what to do because my WiFi does not pass the internet speed test but my hotspot does. Anyone have any insight?

I am following the 7sage syllabus but I am confused on when I am supposed to start taking the practice tests. Do I just go through with all of the syllabus and then start using them for drilling? or am I supposed to be taking one every week even if I have not learned every subject?

Hi everyone,

I'm an international candidate, and the only reasonable time I could sign up for was 5:30am local time.

Early morning hours between 2am and 5:30am were the only options I had left right after receiving the sign-in email from LSAC at around noon on May 26 eastern time (I'm a first-time test taker). I sent an email to LSAC to ask if I could schedule for an evening time, but I'm not confident that they will let me reschedule. Candidates in my country have been complaining about this time zone issue since 2020, and LSAC still isn't providing more time slot options for international candidates.

Are there other international candidates who had to take the test very early in the morning, and do you have any tips? Right now I'm performing at about 15 points below my practice test scores because I can't even finish the questions on time. (I normally finish all of the questions and have time left to review.)

I've been practicing waking up at 3:30am, have 2 hours to wake up my brain, and take a practice test at 5:30am, but it hasn't been very successful. So I would appreciate any and all tips you could share! Thanks in advance.

for prep tests 1-35, is there a timeline as to when I should take those, or can I take it whenever I feel like I need to?

Anyone else had the issue? It only started happening for me today. The chatbox icon on the lower right overlaps with the "next question" icon when I tried to do my PTs. Is there a way to close it? Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have a downward trajectory in my GPA. My first year GPA is by far my highest year and my last year is my worst year.

The reasons for this were the following: I transferred to a more difficult school after first year and the last term of my undergrad was the first full term during the pandemic (my school didn't offer a Pass/Fail option).

Should I be worried about this?

Hey guys! I am looking to surround myself with people that share my interest for this test. If you have a spot in a pre-existing study group, or are yourself looking for a study partner, please send me a message. We can help and support each other and review sections together on discord. Lately I've been drilling LG and I'm currently PTing in the mid-150s. Hit me up!

I was doing great with this course so far. However, when i got to memorizing the invalid and valid forms. I got really confused.

First of, we dont have any sample LSAT questions where this could be applied.

I still dont understand, how is this useful in the actual LSAT? Is it actually worth taking hours to memorize??

Going through some PTs and PT 78-80 have misc. games. Are these making a come back and have they appeared in the latest LSATs?
