Which one matters the most to schools? My degree is lower than my cumulative. I'm writing an addendum as to why that is, but I'm worried this discrepancy will hurt my chances of getting into my top choice :(

I have gone through all the books out there. The bibles, Manhattan prep, Cassidy, someone on tikTok recommended something... I legit went through them all but nothing makes sense like 7Sage.

This platform is legit, and it also makes sense like I am learning these concepts on the same machine I will use to take the test! The commentary by JY is enlightening. The discussion posts are on point. And the AI behind this thing is insane!

thank you everyone at 7Sage. This platform is worth every penny.

Is anyone here planning to take the June 2022 LSAT? If so, do you wanna be apart of a study group? I'm really new to this so any instruction on structure would be helpful!

I've really struggled with precede and how it's sometimes implemented in certain questions. Please let me know if what I have below is correct.

Setup:

1 comes before 2.

2 comes after 1.

1-2

Truths:

"Follow"

I follow 1. (Spoken as 2)

2 follows 1.

2 followed 1.

2 had/will/did follow(ed) 1.

2 is following 1.

1 is followed by 2.

"Precede"

I precede 2. (Spoken as 1)

1 precedes 2.

1 preceded 2.

1 had/will/did precede(ed) 2.

1 is preceding 2.

2 is preceded by 1.

"Proceed"

I proceed 1. (Spoken as 2)

2 did/will proceed 1.

2 proceeds 1.

2 had proceeded 1.

2 is proceeding 1.

1 is proceeded by 2.

Hello all,

Recently, I have noticed, studying around 3 hours per weekday, in the mornings, has had great results for me with little stress.

What are some of your sweet spots, in terms of hours studying per day? I’ve heard of some waking up early and studying multiple hours before work—I work full-time as well—and others saying they break up their prep into 30 minute chunks throughout the day every day. What are some of your habits?

Best,

Gabe

Hi, I am blind and I have been approved for 151% additional time; however, when I take the practice test here, the only option is between 50% additional, 100% additional, and 1XX% additional time but not 151%.

It would mean a lot if you could perhaps give that option or add an option where students can add custom time they wanna take to finish a set.

To prove my request, I can also email the accommodations letter issued from LSAC.

Please advise

Thank you for your responses!

My understanding of the stimulus is that since 365 isn't exactly divisible by 7, that leaves an "extra" day which causes the calendar to shift forward by 1 day every year and the author proposes to change that by removing that "extra" day and making it a sort of twilight zone where it doesn't fall into any year so we are left with exactly 364 days which means that January 1st and any other date will be on the same day each year. The part I am baffled by is what exactly happens to those "extra" days? Are they shuffled in before January 1st? If December 30th and 31st still exists, are they still part of the calendar year or do they fall in that twilight zone? If December 31st is the last day of the year wouldn’t this be the “extra” day in the first year?

I have been trying not to think of my test at all since taking it but I made the terrible decision to listen to the PowerScore Podcast. I have been PTing 0 to -2 on LG but this test really threw me off and I just found out the LG section I did terrible in is the one that counts. I cannot contain my tears right now, my score was riding on LG.

Hi all,

Helpful insight would be appreciated; I am practicing my "translating" my Sufficient & Necessary conditional statements.

"Only" is a "group 2" operator that introduces the necessary condition, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out why this matters in certain simplistic contexts.

Consider the statement: "Only cats meow."

M --> C

/C --> /M

But with "only" sentences, it seems like the reverse logical operation is also true.

C --> M

/M --> /C

Am I simplifying it too much? In other words, is this logical reasoning or rule only relevant when ideas are more complex?

Thanks,

For those of you who plan to slug through LSAT over the holidays and would like to foolproof games, please DM if you want to do 5 games per week for the next 7 weeks or at least attempt to get through games 1-35 at least once.

Hi, I have been studying for a few months now and have realized that i always face the same problem, that is, when i see the answers after checking the test I instantly think"oh that makes sense". I am quite sure that i really understand the answer, but i get it wrong again the next time when facing a similar question. Are there any tips that u guys can suggest on improving the score? Please leave comments below on what habits that u have either during the exam or BRing that help u much more than other methods. Thank you very much!

What should your thought process be on a question like this? On easier RRE, I could often come up with a paraphrase, but it definitely wasn't the case here. I felt like I was going into the choices blind.

Hello everyone,

I’ve noticed many people on the internet talking about the recent phenomenon of “inflated LSAT scores.” In true LSAT fashion, is this a myth? Reality? If it is real, can someone help provide me an explanation for this phenomenon?

Thanks

Hey guys, when it comes to LR Core Curriculum. I am having a hard time understanding the Introduction to Logic. Example when it comes to Sufficient, Necessity and contrapositive I am lost. For some reason I am having a hard understand JY logic. If someone could help I would appreciate it. Thank You.

I am currently putting together my resume for admissions and I am pretty much done with all of the content, however, the format of my resume is very boring black/white. Do you think this will have a significant impact on admissions or does resume format not really matter for these kinds of applications?

Hi All!

I recently made myself a personalized weekly/daily planner to help with my study goals/habits. I'm the kind of person that loves to-do lists, tracking, and crossing things off so I find myself being more successful when using it. Happy to email anyone the template if it might be helpful (PM me your email). I typically just print out the pages at the beginning of every week.

So I’ve posted once before and would like to get a new perspective on this question. I thought the second sentence was supported by the first and so picked answer choice C. Why is that not the case? Could I have someone who truly understands the question break it down completely so this post thread doesn’t get too long? Like break down the role each sentence plays? I thought it was premise (people only care about what’s an obvious threat) subsidiary conclusion (that’s why people see contaminated water as a threat rather than ozone) then main conclusion (why we won’t have a grassroots movement to combat air pollution anytime soon) but that’s wrong apparently.

Like the title says. Looks like MCAT is in-person now.

Hello Sagers,

I took an LR section today and I came to a realization that I often see in my studies and thought that many of you could use this as well. When doing my LR section I always try to base my analysis on whether to skip or stay based on my confidence. If I know I get a question correct (Ex. SA question and going on hunt mode) I know that is a point in my bag. But sometimes I am confident in an answer choice and then see another answer that I am confident in. This is where I lose points. Often times we see an answer choice that is in fact correct but then we see that other AC and think, "Oh no..." and then what do we do? Some of us sink time or some of us skip but still think about that question. Today there were 3 questions where I had under-confidence and it cost me 3 points. Instead of going -3, I went -6 just because of this simple error.

Takeaway: Understand where your confidence is and use that to skip or stay. Create a process of being able to knock that one answer choice that you just cant let go of. Be confident in your answer choices and move on. That is what top scorer's do. They don't dwell on an AC for 1 min. They pick an answer and move on. If they have time to come back they will flag. This test is about confidence and whether you are overconfident or under-confident it can impact your score dramatically.

Stick to your processes for each question type and don't freak out if you don't know the answer. It is just one point. We don't need to be perfect to get a top score.

Hope that helps some of you and happy studies!

All my super-splitter (or reverse splitter) friends out there, I just realized that Wash U now has a redacted LSAT and redacted GPA application. This, in theory would be wonderful for me. I got straight A's all through grad school, which usually doesn't matter since only undergrad GPA is looked at, and a 174 on the LSAT which don't pair well with a sub 3 undergrad GPA.

I wonder though, despite their claim that they'll evaluate the application holistically without regard to the redacted component if it might have an impact on scholarship opportunities. Does anyone have any knowledge of other schools doing this? Did scholarship money continue to flow? @studentservice any thoughts?

I thought we weren’t supposed to pick answer choices with “some” in weakening and strengthening questions because the choice would have little to no effect on the argument. Is that a rule of thumb I should forget about? Because this question appears to break that “rule.”

If anyone wants to study for the the LR please let me know.

Has the admissions predictor been very recently updated? I put in some numbers today and got very different results for some schools than I did earlier this week with the same numbers.

I took my test this past weekend and it was pretty damn difficult for me. The 2 RC sections threw me for a loop. Not only that but as soon as I began the exam and read the first 2 questions on the LR I completely brain fogged and began crying uncontrollably. Luckily I had a few accommodations and was able to pause. However, I know that I didn't score well at all.

I just want to say that I am so proud of everyone who took this exam and I have so much respect for every one of you. I studied hard and didn't have a good testing experience, but I am glad I did it and I am pushing forward to learn more and to retake in January. For all who felt they bombed the exam and retaking in January, let's keep our heads up and don't forget we have already come so far to feel that we shouldn't give it another shot, or 2 or 3, or however many more times it takes lol. :)
