Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would want to join a study group with me to prepare for the June 2022 exam. Specifically, if you're ADHD/ND it would be great if we could keep each other accountable and share tips as to what works for our brains! I'd like to take 1-2 tests a week and review them together, and I'm PTing high 160s right now :) DM me or reply to this thread if you're interested!

was it beneficial to use 7sage and invest In a tutor ? or did using 7sage independently get you to the score you desired ?

Im looking to take early/middle year LSAT in 2023! Anyone want to work together to stay on track?

Just wondering if there is anyone in the same boat. I have a super demanding job that can easily take up 60 hours in a week (and frequently does). I'm trying to study at least 20 hrs a week, mostly doing nights and weekends. Is that a recipe for burnout or does it sound sustainable? Planning to study for 4 months!

I’m looking for a RC tutor who can help me drastically improve my RC score and who has helped others go from getting 8-10 questions correct to 20+ correct. Someone who is great at breaking down why a question is correct and why other answers are incorrect. I know there’s a a specific way to attack questions types on RC but I haven’t figured it out. Reading for structure isn’t a problem for me. I understand grabbing the main point, author viewpoint, and whether the author disagrees/agrees with a certain point. My main problem is I tend to attack questions all the same in RC and just like LR, each question cannot and shouldn’t be attacked the same way and requires different ways of attack. Message me if you’re able to help.

Hey guys, I am looking for a tutor that's not going to break my pocket. If you are someone one or know someone, please DM thank you.

Hi guys,

I'm having a hard time being able to identify game types and knowing what game board setup to use. I recently just started studying for the logic game section and i'm guessing maybe the only way to learn this is it with practice/experience BUT, I'd like to know if anyone else had trouble with this as well and if any particular tips helped with identifying the game type and board setup.

To give some backstory: I have taken the LSAT last month and got a 133. I know not the greatest but I’m wanting to improve. I just took PT 84 and got the exact same score. I have just started practicing again every day for 2.5-3 hrs a day. I am using a mix of 7Sage Study Plan/Course and Khan Academy for drills.

If anyone has any other studying techniques that might help me improve more or helpful tips I am interested in anything.

I am wondering if I am considered a URM. I am an Asian immigrant, of an indigenous ethnic minority in my home country. I've heard that Asians are typically not considered URM, and since the 509 does not specify on ethnicity and indigenous status for students (of groups outside of the Americas), I would assume this means I won't be considered by schools as URM. Does anyone with a background similar to mine have any experience on this in the admissions process? Thanks in advance!

Update: If anyone else was wondering also, based on the questions about ethnicity LSAC asked me (the region where I'm from wasn't even listed... so I just chose Asian Other and my other race), plus based on y'all's feedback, seems like no.

Hi,

I have been taking PTs and not simulating Flex because I want to practice getting through 4 sections. How predictive of my actual test day scores are these scores given that they are taking the 2 LR sections into account? Is there a score conversion chart anywhere?

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official February 2022 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the February LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, February 15th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

Good luck to everyone taking the February LSAT!

**Please keep all discussions of the February 2022 LSAT here!**(/red)

The correct rationale for choice D being incorrect is its irrelevancy since physiological changes don't sway the argument.

In blind review, I interpreted the answer choice as relevant because if some of the fish didn't recover rapidly from physiological changes (aka. reproductive abnormalities - sentence 1), then even after the occasional mill shutdowns, though the hormone concentrations return, the physiological changes (aka. reproductive abnormalities) persist. So in essence, the recovery of hormones and dioxin decomposition don't matter at all since the physiological changes/abnormalities happen regardless once the fish contact the dioxin.

I think I'm jumping the gun with the physiological changes part because the crux of the argument is on the hormone concentrations, even if physiological changes happen after. I think I'm also assuming physiological changes equal reproductive abnormalities. Or even if physiological changes equal reproductive abnormalities, the recovery times don't matter. I'm probably not even addressing the premise the author gives and focusing on the context.

Hey, all!

I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and initially started studying for the LSAT in June 2021. I lasted through October 2021, hit a wall, and decided to take a break to focus on my health. Since I have a dynamic disability that causes my energy to fluctuate, I struggle with skills that are crucial to a high LSAT score, like consistency and focus. I'm also neurodivergent and have high anxiety (enough said).

I just picked up studying again this week and have a 5 day streak going (one hour a day). This time around, I'm trying to be kinder to myself and develop a routine that accommodates my health needs. I am determined to reach my biggg goal (175+) despite having a disability, and so far, it's going well because I actually IMPROVED (!) on practice sets after taking my four-month break.

I would love to put together a group chat where any of us struggling with mental or physical health issues can uplift one another and share suggestions about what kind of studying works best for our brains and bodies. Let me know if this is of interest to anyone! :)

I can't believe I am writing this today.

I began my LSAT journey in May 2021. I had a diagnostic of 140. After months, and months of studying, I took the LSAT in October. I was PT around 158-159, but the server crashed the day of my exam, so I was had to write it a week later. Burnt out, I wrote the LSAT - I honestly can't remember it. I got a 153. I was devastated. I took it again in November... I got a 158. I knew I could do better. I wrote it in Jan and got a 160! I was happy!! I wasn't sure if it would be enough to get in to law school because I had a lower GPA... but this morning I got my first acceptance!!!

I am thrilled and so so happy. I am so incredibly proud of myself and cannot wait to see what the future holds. I am the first in my immigrant family to get a J.D. so to say that my whole family is thrilled is an understatement!!

To those who think they cant do it... just know... YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

Hi all!

Some folks told me to stick to taking practice tests using only the 60s and onwards, and to use the tests prior to the 60s just for casual drilling. I wanted to know what ya'll thought and if it is good to throw in an older PT in the 50s or earlier every now and then.

Thanks!

Hi,

I can see why (B) is correct but I cannot figure out why (C) is wrong. Referring to Line 32 - 34, I thought jazz purists don't like jazz music be play with electic piano. Thus, (C) will also weaken author's characterization on the purists. Could someone explain why? Thanks a lot.

I feel like I'm improving overall, but I get defeated after only getting 2 out of 5 on a problem set after get 5 of 6. Then I'll get 8 out of 8, and I'm not sure how to feel. For context, I've been studying since December.

Wondering if this is normal as I continue learning or if my progress should be more linear.

Thanks in advance!

I don't know about you but I'm someone who gets really excited when I stumble upon opportunities to use LSAT skills in the real world. Last night, I found riddle, which turned out to be a 5-layer sequencing game!

This comes from the video game Dishonored 2 and it's titled the "Jindosh Riddle." The exact details change from game to game so there could be many versions of the same riddle and many solutions out there. If you like riddles--and have transitioned from hating to enjoying LG--this should be fun to solve:

At the dinner party were Lady Winslow, Doctor Marcolla, Countess Contee, Madam Natsiou, and Baroness Finch.

The women sat in a row. They all wore different colors and Countess Contee wore a jaunty green hat. Doctor Marcolla was at the far left, next to the guest wearing a red jacket. The lady in white sat left of someone in blue. I remember that white outfit because the woman spilled her wine all over it. The traveler from Baleton was dressed entirely in purple. When one of the dinner guests bragged about her Ring, the woman next to her said they were finer in Baleton, where she lived.

So Madam Natsiou showed off a prized Snuff Tin, at which the lady from Dunwall scoffed, saying it was no match for her Bird Pendant. Someone else carried a valuable War Medal and when she saw it, the visitor from Fraeport next to her almost spilled her neighbor's beer. Lady Winslow raised her run in toast. The lady from Dabokva, full of absinthe, jumped up onto the table falling onto the guest in the center seat, spilling the poor woman's whiskey. Then Baroness Finch captivated them all with a story about her wild youth in Karnaca.

In the morning, there were four heirlooms under the table: the Ring, Diamond, the Bird Pendant, and the War Medal.

But who owned each?

Enjoy!

I don't understand the correct answer at all. I don't see how it could possibly be correct. I chose C which looked like the absolute only correct option.

Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping warm and cozy!

Any chance someone has access to any of the Kaplan explanations for PT 80 and beyond?

Thank you so much, and best of luck with your study & applications!

I bought them separately and have not gotten the email that allows me link them.

Hi 7Sage!

I’m reaching out to see if anyone is interested in forming a study group for the March LSAT.

I started studying late October and got a 167 on the January test. Blind reviewing at 175. I’m looking to form a small group to help keep each other honest while we study for March. Aiming for 170+ this time around- let’s get to it!

So I've been going through the core curriculum in order, starting with all the LR stuff and now going through LG. But I feel uneasy about the fact that I haven't even gotten to RC after a few months of studying, and after doing just LG for a few weeks I feel like I'm forgetting the LR material. How do you all balance going back and forth between the different sections? Should I force myself to studying a different section each day or week? Wondering if any of you have any strategies for progressing evenly across the three sections and not feeling like you're neglecting one of them.

Can someone explain why the answer is C and not A? Thanks in advance.
