According to 7sage's automatic study schedule, I am to take 6 PTs a week starting next week.

Is taking this many PTs optimum? Or should I space them as 3-4 per week.

Also, how do I add drills into the schedule?

Im taking the Oct'23 LSAT.

Thanks.

Could someone please help me with this question? I am confused why C is corrrect; although I agree that author does provide reasons for rejecting an alternative course of action, I don't think he/she arrives at their conclusion 'indirectly' as the stimulus says at the beginning that the proposal to increase fares by 40% 'must be implemented.' surely this suggests that conclusion of this stimulus is direct?

Can anyone provide some insight into the comparable accuracy of the 7Sage and LSAC admissions predictors? I am seeing drastically different percentages between the two as I'm creating my school list and it is giving me pause as to what schools I should be considering safeties, targets, and reaches. I'm of course taking it all with a grain of salt and using the percentages as guideposts instead of certainties, but I am hoping to get some clarity on the discrepancies. Thanks in advance!

Hi! To those who have already done this (e.g are in law school, just gained admission etc.), or just plain knowledgeable about this, when you wrote your personal statements, did you always include somewhere in that statement "why school x"?

I'm applying this fall, and I honestly hadn't plan on including this in my PS. My plan was to write a separate essay for any schools that ask for this specifically. But I had a phone chat with a school rep today and she told me the admission committee at this school expects you to address why you want to go to this school in your personal statement. What are your thoughts?

Appreciate all your responses. Thanks

Can someone help with this?

I thought the missing link between the premise and the conclusion (the conclusion being that functioning of public agencies will improve) is that the stimulus assumes that functioning of public agenices will be improved if these capable experienced admin people returned. So I thought B was correct. Can someone please explain why D is correct?

LR Help

Can anyone offer any tips to master LR? I read loophole and went through 7Sage CC. When I take full length timed practice sections I’m at -2 but when I do a full practice test I’m hitting -7 to -9 on both the scored and experimental sections which is where I was scoring before studying. Anyone else have this issue and have tips on how they improved?

Hey everyone! Im looking for an LSAT BR study buddy! Im looking to take the Lsat this October but am honestly going to study until i'm PT'ing in the 170s! Im currently on PT 57 so am looking for someone around a similar PT so we can work through the remaining 36 tests together. Im in the mid to upper 150s on timed but usually 168-170 BR. I also work full time so want someone on a similar schedule.

Is it a good strategy to go for the add premises questions first? Seems like J.Y. has been doing it a fair bit especially in the recent tests.

Idk but when the clock is ticking I often freeze up on the questions with no direction despite being able to get them right untimed.

What's the wisdom about drinking coffee before lsat?

How do coffee-addicts adjust to lsat?

I've had severe coffee withdrawl for the last 2-3 days (cramps, nausea, fogginess) when tried in the past.

Hello all,

After receiving consecutively poor scores on PT in 2020 I decided to change my approach to this test by going through the CC first before PTing again. I initially was doing just LG but I realized midway through that that I actually need help with everything and decided to go through the entire CC from the first lesson. I work as a paralegal full-time and sometimes I can only devote 1 hour a day to studying. I am wondering if this is the best use of time. Let me know what you guys think.

Does "tend to" mean a correlation? Like for example if X tends to Y. I thought "tends to" meant causation because I thought it was saying when you have X, you'll have Y which is causation.

If one wants to withdraw from Aug lsat, can one do so?

if so, by when and would it show as "withdrawal" on scoresheet and does it affect number of takes available?

In the paper days one could withdraw till the night before the test without affecting number of takes.

I forgot about the ProctorU scheduling email this week due to various events.

Just found that no good slots available for the August test on Saturday.

I was trying to find something around noon on Saturday, Pacific zone.

Anyone in the same boat? Do slots open that one can reschedule? Or am I stuck with odd hours?

I've relied on these forums to validate my frustrations and I've turned to the discussion boards for inspiration too, so this is my attempt to put some positivity into the universe: for all my fellow August test takers, we're going to crush this test! If you're here, you've put in the work, sacrificed, and committed to getting better. In two weeks, we have the opportunity to showcase that hard-work. Good luck to everyone!

I scored a 177 on a PT after being around the 160s for a while, but even after my spike I have gotten back down to 165 ish range on my last two PT. Drop your thoughts below!

Hiii! I am here to celebrate this victory and ask for some advice! For context, I have been struggling for months to pass the 175+ hurdle (getting from the high160s to the low 170s took forever on its own) and now I finally hit this goal with a 178 on PT 80!! The tactic that seemed to push me into 175+ territory involved taking super slow practice tests to solidify some solid test-taking habits. After a week of that tactic, I finally took a timed PT today and was so pleasantly stunned to see the 178! If I can consistently hit above 175 over the next couple of weeks, I'm planning to take the August LSAT of this year.

HOWEVER, if this score turns out to be a fluke, I'll probably push the test back a couple months. The biggest con to pushing it back (besides the obvious monetary one lol) is that I start my first year of teaching in late-August and know I won't be able to commit as much time to consistent prep. Thoughts on this plan of action?

Hi everyone,

I’m taking the October LSAT and I’m trying to map out my study time. Will the 7Sage course on LG prepare me for the LG section, or will I need a lot more practice after I’ve been through all of the videos and drills?

Thanks in advance.

I just have one specific question. On parallel reasoning questions, if an answer choice essentially has the same logical force, # terms, and structure as the stimulus except its conclusion is the contrapositive of the previous terms, does that disqualify it as a right answer?

For instance:

Stimulus:

A --> B;

B --> C;

Thus, A --> C

Answer choice:

D --> E

E --> F

Thus, F --> D?
