This is definitely a rudimentary question but with the LSAT-FLEX and all the other options/changing format I'm having a hard time finding a straight answer and would love to know for sure.

Should I expect 4 sections total, and two LR sections for the September LSAT or just three sections?

Does the LR section(s) account for 50% of the LSAT grade or has that changed?

I was stuck between C and E for this question and chose the latter because the stimulus seemed to be more focused on extraterrestrial life. E can also be an actual reason for why we wouldn't know about life outside of Earth. How would you know to choose C over E? Why is it not the answer?

Hello,

I wanted to get some opinions. I have not done any LSAT prep before, and I just took my first practice/diagnostic exam today and got a 149. My goal score is 170+ and I want to ideally take the October or November LSAT. Given the fact that I have essentially not studied at all yet, do you guys think I have a shot at raising my score 21+ points in time for either of the exam dates?

Thanks!

Does anyone have a trick for answering assumption questions? They are killing me! No matter how many times I re-watch the lessons; I still cannot understand them. Please help!!!

I don't understand how you would go about this question because all of the answer choices sound bad. Why would A be the answer? Is it because you're pointing out a potential alternate cause?

Hello all,

Quick question. Is it a bad idea to do some jumping around in the curriculum? The reason I ask is when my brain is vaped out on LR/RC questions I could still do LG questions/sections instead of having to take a break or stop for the day.

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I understand the reason to proceed through the curriculum from start to finish and not make any jumps, but I also think I could make more efficient use of my time.

Thank you for weighing in if you choose to!

Keep reading about the ABA potentially making the LSAT optional -- most recently that if passed it could apply as early as 2023. Does anyone at 7S have clarity on what that means specifically -- would that be test optional for THIS current admissions cycle? Love to hear any thoughts!

Thanks

Would love to connect and hold each other accountable! It's tough balancing home responsibilities with studying, but I am confident we can do it with some support!

When I am blind reviewing on here after a full prep test am I supposed to be re-doing the questions to double check or just marking them with the tab button to show that I was not 100% correct on the answer?

Thanks!

Hello!

I am looking for a 1 on 1 tutor in the Philadelphia area… any recommendations? I would like to work on building a study schedule, setting realistic expectations, and to have someone help me evaluate where I am going wrong on prior test and practice tests and to help identify my weaknesses and strengths.

Thank you :)

Looking for a study buddy! I can meet any day throughout the summer. Urgent!

I am doing as much as I can by asking people to proofread my letters and resume but those people don't own the knowledge about law school admission. So, I don't feel confident about my application. Unfortunately, I can't afford services of tutors to revise my PS, CV and an addendum. I really hope that someone will volunteer to help me!

I have no idea why it is not E

I don't understand how AC A strengthens the argument...so we can't see them when it is a wet year, shouldn't that mean that in '85 the observer would have seen less beetles that year than in '89?

Is anyone able to explain not just why AC B is correct, but why AC A is incorrect?

My understanding from the question stem is that the correct answer choice will be one that establishes either one of the two plans (demolition or rehabilitation). I chose AC A because I reasoned that the principle established that rehabilitation should occur UNLESS the neighborhood association deems the buildings a threat (which they do). So if the neighborhood deems the houses in question a threat, then they should not be rehabilitated, and if there are only two options: demolition or rehabilitation, then demolition would need to take place.

My guess as to why AC A is incorrect is because AC A only rules out rehabilitation as a possibility and does not establish that demolition will occur. AC B used some tricky language and it established that rehabilitation should occur and that makes sense, but unfortunately I read AC A first and understood it as establishing reason for demolition so I was biased in evaluating answer choice B. This question stem was especially odd so I am not very worried about getting confused by it but I would still like to understand this question better.

Hi fellow students! I'm a bit confused about the question listed above. I don't understand how, based on the language in the stimulus, we were supposed to infer anything about cost. Can someone help explain why B is the correct answer as opposed to C or E?

Hi fellow students! I'm a bit confused about the question listed above. I picked A, because I thought this would reconcile the issue with sample size. But the correct answer is C, and I don't really understand why... couldn't the percentages refer to different groups of people? So why would it matter that they're almost the same?

Hi everyone,

I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year now. I've dabbled with 7Sage in the past but ended up going with a different program. I'm back because I love the podcasts and hear great things about the community.

3 months up to this June LSAT I had scored a 167 three times on PTs (along with an unfortunate 164 and 160). My original goal was 170, but I was feeling proud of myself so I decided to go through with June and aim for high 160s. Test day my nerves got the best of me. I didn't even finish games which I typically get a -0 to -2 on. This snowballed to affect LR, which I also didn't finish (usually -2 to -6). Never been great at RC but hoping to change that. After my meltdown I am considering on pushing back another cycle because I am backpacking Europe this summer. I will still be studying, but PTs will be impossible so August LSAT seems out of the question. I'm thinking of taking more time and evening increasing my goal into the 170s.

I am here just asking for any advice...what now? I have taken the most recent PTs and I usually understand the logic behind LR and LG (although I can always improve). I am unsure if it's worth it for me to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum at this point...is it? Or if anyone has a tutor they could connect me to that can help pinpoint what I need to work on so I'm not wasting too much time on the fundamentals? My priorities are currently to foolproof games, correct my weaknesses in LR and RC, and find concrete strategies for each section so I don't crumble on my next test day. I'll take any advice, thank you!!

I need help to understand when to switch & negate a valid conclusions on contrapositives. The videos from Invalid Argument Forms are confusing and are just not clicking. When I think I know how to "draw valid conclusions w/ transitions AND w/ intersection statements" I suddenly don't and don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone suggest the videos or any other methods to review to understand the material?

Ever since we got to this section, I've been confused.

Hi everyone! I am starting on my personal statement this week and I am really struggling to get started. If anyone has any advice that would be amazing

If any of you want to discuss whether or not you should cancel your June LSAT, you can book a free 15-minute consultation with members of our admissions team here: https://calendly.com/d/dtn-f57-4n6/should-i-cancel

Hi,

I have a discord group for anyone interested: https://discord.gg/KQAHAgD8

Hello everyone! If you're taking the LSAT in September of 2022 and in need of a study group, comment on this post!

Hello all, just had a few quick questions about the LSAT on exam day. I am signed up for the August LSAT.

Even though there are only three graded sections as of 2020, we still take the full four section exam, correct?

What is the timeline for exam day? Should i expect a 5-10 minute break in between each section, or are they strictly back to back?

Also, has anybody actually legitimately prepared for the writing section? I've been studying since around January of 2022, and I haven't done a practice writing a single time. My score keeps on going up when I'm studying the graded portion, so i don't want to waste any time on something that seems to be far more inconsequential.
