LOCI?

Any pointers on how to draft a good LOCI especially when your score is below their median? And would anyone be so kind to review mine?

Hi everyone!

I am having a lot of trouble with my logic reasoning section. I usually only miss 1-4 questions on LR and RC really depends, but my LR is always my most missed section missing around 10-14 questions. I really don't know what to focus on. I've done the core lessons and almost all of the lessons on LR, and im just not sure how else to improve my score in this section and im starting to feel like a lost cause. Is there any recommendations or tips anyone use to improve in this section? I take the march LSAT so I just want some tips and tricks to help me before that exam.

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I recently received an offer to my best option school. I am still looking to apply to a school that I really want to attend.

If I do get admitted to the school that I really want to attend, can I still withdraw from the law school I deposited for?

My understanding is the only loss will be I cannot retrieve the deposit I put down for the best option school?

Thank you for your time and help. Good luck everyone!

I am looking for a study buddy to work together with over the next several months in preparation for the April 2022 exam. The ideal person would be working full or part time, in EST timezone, testing in the high 160's low 170's, and interested in doing BR and review together.

A bit about me: I have been studying (on and off) since November 2020 while working full-time in environmental advocacy. My first take was in June 2021 and I got a 169 (at that time I was PTing in the mid 160s). After taking about a 6-month break, I got back into things in January 2022. At this point I am PTing in the low 170's/high 160's. My target score is between 171 and 173. I study in the morning before work and have availability to meet most evenings after work hours.

DM if you are interested.

Hi fellow 7sagers!

I'm wondering when is appropriate to ask for merit scholarship reconsideration from schools. Currently I am admitted into school X and Y, both being in the same tier. School X offers me more scholarship money and has higher ranking, but I like school Y more. I am still waiting for most schools I applied to, and I am expecting a higher LSAT score that will be released on March 3rd. Is it appropriate to ask for scholarship reconsideration from one school more than once? If I ask school Y now and they give me more money, does it look bad to ask school Y again in the future if I get a bigger scholarship from another school?

Thank you!

If I put my cursor on the recycle image, I used to be able to check when I took that certain problem before (date, number of times taken etc.). I can't do that anymore somehow, and I'm wondering if that is an issue on my end or 7sage in general. Thank you in advance!

Hey! I just finished with core curriculum and was wondering what prep tests I should be focusing on? It's about 16 weeks left of studying. I'm a full-time student so probably could take 1-2 prep tests a week.

Wondering if anyone here found the actual filling out and submitting of applications a problem. Personally I kept getting kicked out of the LSAC portal, which kept claiming I had several applications open. I didn’t realize how involved the process would be. I inferred that because we were paying LSAC to facilitate the process it would be somewhat seamless. I’m kicking myself because a couple of my applications were incomplete. Thank everyone. Best of luck in the cycle. Hope you get what you all want!

Hi everyone!

I searched for this question on the forums and had not found a topic, even though its marked as a difficult question (171 level). After review the AC is fairly obvious, but I am posting to help people that may be confused by this question, and if I say anything wrong, please correct me!

This question is a Necessary Assumption question, basically meaning that if the answer choice is not true, the argument totally falls apart.

A: Incorrect, this does not have to be true for the argument to stay together.

C Incorrect: Who cares about other arts?

D : Incorrect: It does not need to have increased for the argument to be ok, more shows with the same amount of people also works as an increase in public interest.

E: Incorrect: My AC during the test. This is incorrect because it does not matter what the intentions of the opera companies were when they established their companies. All the argument talks about is an explosion of public interest for opera, and that 45 companies founded in the last 30 years, is evidence for this. Assuming E is false, it does not destroy the argument.

Therefore the correct answer is B Which must 100% be true. If its not true, that at a minimum, 45 opera companies opened and ceased operations in the time period where the argument is saying public interest EXPLODED. Do you see the problem here? If all 45 of those founded companies went out of business in the same time period, can you really claim this to be the reason opera exploded in public interest?

Hi all!

I applied today for 50% additional time. But, there are a lot of things I feel weaken my request.

First, I was diagnosed really recently. My parents didn't really believe in learning disabilities, so I struggled a lot in school. It was after taking the LSAT in January I realized WOW, I am holding myself back here. So, I went to a psychiatrist. I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety disorder by two different psychiatrists. And let me tell you, this was a tough thing to do. The assessments were incredibly expensive and I'm not flush with cash. I say this to communicate I genuinely believe I need this accommodation to have an equal chance to do well on the test.

Additionally, I have taken the test twice. The first was in 2018. I canceled that test because I did so, so poorly given what I recognize now were symptoms. I kept studying. I took the test in January 2021 and got a 165, which was really, really low below my own abilities because I spent so much time trying to concentrate and dealing with my anxiety.

I highlighted in my statement of need how taking the LSAT led me to realize I had these problems and that's why I don't have a lot of history with my diagnosis.

This is a new kind of chance me, I suppose. Will i get approved despite a "good enough" score and a recent diagnosis?

Did anyone take look at this question, why is the answer not C. It states that price of the reserve is set high enough to yield profit. That means that the seller will make profit on the item , hence the reserve price is needed for desirable item. Any thoughts?

I noticed the highlighting functionalities on the prep tests offered on this site... i'm wondering if the format for taking the actual exam virtually is the same presented on this site or if I should stay away from utilizing the tools so as to not expect them on test date.

Let me know and I wish you all luck on your endeavors!!! :)

Hello everyone! I just started studying Jan 2022. In the mid 150s now. I haven't heard back from the other discords/study groups so far in the forum so might as well create a new one. I promise to add everyone who responds to this message. Please check your inbox.

Also, I am down to merge or join with anyone if there is already a solid group running.

The intention for this group:

Study strategies

Accountability

Memes to stay sane

Good vibes/no trolls

Also open to if there are any better services other than discord? Maybe facebook page? What are the kids using these days?

Hello all, I know there are a few posts on this topic but none of them quenched my confusion hence this post.

I have a few questions regarding the calculation of my test score (PT, real test, etc.).

Why is the raw score out of 101 when only 3 sections are graded?

Is the experimental section always the repeated section? (e.g. 1RC, 1LR, 2LG = 1LG will be ungraded)

Does the scoring mechanism enabled in the 7sage "Flex Score Converter" (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter) apply to current LSAT tests (2022)? Curious as LSAC does not display current tests as "LSAT Flex", just "LSAT".

I'm really confused about the concept of "Flex" so I want to present a possible scenario:

Let's say I scored -5 RC, -0 LG, -8 LR in a 4 section PT. However there were 2 LRs (both -4) so I excluded one section by myself to arrive at a total of -5 RC, -0 LG and -4 LR. Plugged numbers into the "Flex Converter", did not tick the "2 LR sections" button, selected the correct PT number and received a 172. Disregarding the different curves for each test, would an LSAT test sometime in 2022 be scored the same way?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
