Hi, I got waitlisted from UVA law and I am desperately looking for any students or alumni that I can talk to!

If you are one, please talk to me! Your little help may change my life.

Thank you for your time

Can someone explain the justification for the answer being E. Seems like that would makes sense if the stem asks for the flaw in David's argument, but it doesn't.

Hi All,

I'm trying to stary a study group for accountability. If you are in the NYC area and want to join a group of supportive, motivated, and resourceful students, please feel free to reach out!

Can someone help me out here. This question and the way it's worded is giving me a great deal of difficulty.

From what I can gather the argument has two premises – a principle and a fact:

P1 - if competent to pass judgement on a subject → don't lack knowledge of the subject

P2 - Political "know-how" is a type of knowledge learned through apprenticeship and experience.

C - Therefore, if competent to judge whether a particular policy is fair to all → seasoned politician

In my estimation, this argument needs two things: First, it has to show that a "seasoned politician" doesn't lack knowledge of a subject. It does this by making the assumption that "if you have political know-how → you're a seasoned politician;" Second, it must then assume that "political know-how" and "[not lacking] knowledge of a subject" are the same thing. Reason being: Just because you have a type of knowledge, i.e. political know-how, doesn't mean you don't lack knowledge of politics. I feel like AC D then would best encapsulate this flaw.

Does this reasoning check out?

Also, if this question made sense to you intuitively would you mind explaining your thought process when reading the stimulus and identifying the flaw?

Many thanks.

So I have been studying off and on for almost 3 years now, taking breaks during difficult personal situations and tough academic periods during undergrad. I feel "decent" at LR and LG with a little bit more of a strength in LG, but my RC is AWFUL. I find that I am just generally a slow reader, and can take anywhere from 10-12 minutes per passage and questions which is just super slow. My goal score is somewhere in the mid to high 150s, and I was wondering if any of you wonderful people on 7sage has any advice for me to start implementing during timed sections and PTs in preparation for the June or August LSAT if I am really just trying to score in that range consistently.

I am a bit confused with this question. This is a classic cause --> effect stimulus and we are being asked to strengthen the cause and effect relationship.

To strengthen, there are three ways:

1/ Show that cause happens --> effect happens

2/ Show that cause does not happen --> effect does not happen

3/ Show that an alternate explanation is not responsible for both cause and effect

A/ What can't this be the third option? Doesn't the fact that there is no greater incidence of kidney disease for folks who have the bacteria in their stomach rule out the alternative explanation that kidney disease was not responsible for both the ulcer and bacteria?

E/ I understand that this is (no cause --> no effect) and is a strengthener, but I picked A since I was moving quickly in this section and to me, AC A seemed like an obvious alternative explanation that was being ruled out.

What am I missing?

Hello!

I am just getting started on my LSAT journey and am planning to apply for law school in Fall of 2023. My diagnostic was a 156 and I am aiming for high 160s or low 170s. I'm planning on dedicating a lot of time to LSAT prep this summer and would love to connect with some people who are also looking for study buddies and accountability!

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I would highly appreciate any feedback from the two schools. I received merit based scholarship from UC Hastings and is at the top of the list. As the first deposit is right around the corner, I am still waiting to hear back from UC Davis and app is still in review. Not sure if I should make my deposit soon or wait after I hear back from UCD. I would like to live on campus for the convenience there is the on campus housing app as well.

Ultimately, I hope to practice in Southern California and landing in big law.

Thank you and good luck all! :)

Update: This Class is Sold Out.

Hey 7Sagers!

Due to popular demand, I'm excited to announce that I'll be teaching a 10-week LSAT course starting May 8th!

We'll meet once a week for an hour. In addition to the instruction given during class time, I'll also assign homework, drills, and a study plan designed to support the weekly lessons and solidify key concepts. This class is ideal for anyone who wants a bit more structure and accountability as they work their way to their goal score.

We'll meet on Sundays starting on May 8th. Class will convene via Zoom from 3pm-4pm EST and will continue until July 10th. The class is limited to TWELVE students—first come, first served.

If you have any questions about the course, feel free to post it down below. I'm looking forward to it!

Hey! So I am just wondering if anyone can give me a rundown on the new LSAT format and if there is any change to how the test is scored since it is only 3 scored sections now. I was also curious if it has been said if the rest of the test dates will be administered online like the June date?

I understand why D is correct, but can someone give an example of what C looks like in an argument? How would you be able to determine whether the evidence given is "stronger" than what the conclusion requires?

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-81-section-2-question-25/

Should all of the problem sets within a module of the CC be completed before moving on? Or should I work through them until I'm comfortable and save the rest for drilling later?

I've already compelted my LSAT, gotten my letters of reccomendation, and have my transcripts in LSAC. I'm currently working on improving my resume and writing my personal statement. However, I do know some schools have other things they ask for like specific essays, diversity statements, etc. Does anyone know if there is way to look up what each school requires before they make the application available (usually in early September)? I was hoping to spend my summer doing everything that was required for each school on my list so I can apply as soon as the applications are available.

I am still waiting to hear back from some schools and the applications are in review. Should I write a continued interest email to the admissions office? The schools are at the top of my list. Thank you!

Any help with this question and translating the stimulus?

Hi all,

Thoughts on WUSTL with $$$ vs T14 with less money? Not sure how to evaluate.

I have heard that the June LSAT is significantly harder.. is that true? I have heard it from a few people and I am nervous. Also I want to apply for Fall 2022, and it says the deadline is 06/30/22... I got a 136 on the first LSAT (I did not study at all) and I am wondering if law schools will consider my second score if I get it after I apply to law school.

Does anyone know when this supposed to take place?

For any questions, feel free to comment below and I'll be sure to answer!

What does 'lack' mean in LSAT?

Does it mean 'shortage' or 'none'?

I'm curious as I encountered anther similar questions about quantifier!

I know it might be a silly question, but want to ask if there's any issue with this word on lsat.

Thanks a lot in advance:)

I took my first LSAT in February and scored high 160s. I am looking for people to study with via zoom to try and break into the 170s. Currently PTing in the low to mid 170s. Usually free in the evenings aside from Monday and Thursday!

Hi folks! I just took the March LSAT and got a 163, and I'm planning on taking the LSAT again in June (aiming for 170). I definitely felt like my brain wasn't working during the first 10minutes of the test due to anxiety and also realized how weak my foundation is in LR and LG.

I'm interested in a tutor for maybe biweekly tutoring - specifically in helping me create a focused study schedule leading up to June and targeting my specific weak areas across LR and LG (I think I'm relatively solid on RC). I also work full-time so ideally tutoring would happen on weekday nights or weekend afternoons.

Please reach out if you're available - thank you!

Hi there,

Looking for couple of people to do sections, BR, discuss strategies, and vent together lol

I'm retaking a low 170s, aiming for 175+ in June. It works best if you're PTing at 168~175 range, but everyone is welcomed!

DM if interested

Cheers

Which one should I major as an international applicant?

My school is in the US.

Hey, I'm looking for study/accountability partner who plans to take the LSAT in August. I'm studying full time so my schedule is pretty flexible. Message me or comment if you're interested.
