Hi I have a quick question on Q12, the disagreement question. I understand that passage A supports the idea that public funding can encourage the establishment of social capital. But I am not clear why B disagrees with it.. Is it because public funding creates arts that people don't like? It's the latest released test and I can't find any explanation on this online. I am wondering if any 7sager has finished this test and would be so kind as to help! Thank you!

Hi! I am not sure if I missed this in the LR lessons. Is there a lesson for "evaluate" questions? Seems as if they only have one question on the LR for these in modern test, but still would like some help.

If there isn't a lesson, how should I approach this type of question?

Hello everyone!

Just curious on whether or not I should wave my right to view my letter of recommendations on my LSAC account. Does viewed LORs hold less weight to law schools than ones that are waved?

Thanks!

Does anyone know when the November LSAT will be given? The previous times I took it, I was given a bunch of different times/days over one week and got to pick when I took it but when I signed up for Novembers, it said that the test would only be given on 3 days on a weekend. Does anyone know for sure?

Hi!

This will be my first take. Is there a timer? or how do you know how much time you have left? I think there is also 1 minute break between the 1 and 2 section, a 10 minute between 2 and 3 and 1 minute between 3 and 4. is that right?

Am I allowed to drink water during the sections? It really calms my nerves, when Im getting overwhelmed. Am I allowed to chew gum?

Thank you!

So I feel like I'm seeing a bit of a pattern in my practice tests, that being that I tend to do worse on the first Logical Reasoning section, even if that section is "easier"(in terms of how 7sage rates the difficulty of the sections). Of course I'll have no idea what section is the experimental on the actual LSAT, or if there will even be two Logical Reasoning sections, but does anyone have any advice on why this may be happening, or how stop it from happening?

Hiii,

I've gone through the CC and taken a few PTs, and I notice that my main problem in LR is that I tend to make unreasonable assumptions. Especially for weaken and strengthen questions––I always end up getting stuck between the right and wrong answer choice, and I tend to choose the wrong one based on my own assumptions. In the moment, I feel like my assumption works and it's valid, but after watching JY's videos, I understand why the other AC was correct, yet I continue to face this problem. I guess my main question is: how do I know that the assumption I'm making is unreasonable or reasonable?

Not sure if I'm making any sense, but any guidance/advice/tips would be appreciated!

Does anyone happen to have any tips for these types of questions? Currently its what I repeatedly get wrong in Reading Comp, and leads me to getting 2-3 wrong per section. Any advice that may be helpful specifically for this RC question stem would be really helpful, thanks!

Hi, could someone please help explain what exactly does the stimulus here "for how many of the individuals can it be exactly determined where his or her team places" really ask?

I though it asked those individuals whose specific teams can be determine. But by this read, only S's team is determined while the second-placed and third-placed teams still can't be determined.

I would really appreciate if someone can help. Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone,

Given November 2021 LSAT will be administered in four sections, including an experimental-unscored one, do you think it's good idea to do Prep tests simulating LSAT-Flex on 7Sage? (Because we don't know whether the experimental section will be in LR)

Or, continuing to drill with four section format is still better?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

Took two PT's: PT4 & PT5. Both as Flex.

On PT4 I got -8 overall and received a total score of 169.

On PT5 I got -11 overall and received a score of 170.

I figure some of this would be due to weighting of questions with some tests being harder than others, which is I believe why we don't use 'raw scores', but this still seems kind of off? Is that degree of variation in scoring that common?

Mainly concerned because I am shooting for 170+ and had kind of been working on the assumption that I need to be dropping less than 10 questions to ensure that - generally this seems to be the case in most PT's I have done. Clearly that was a flaw in my reasoning!

Hey guys,

How can we tell the difference between a causal assertion and a “if then” statement?

I chose D by intuition, but I did struggle for a long while.

JY mentions “causation” between using a car phone & pose a threat to safe driving during his explanation.

In essence, if A causes B, then decrease A also decrease the likelihood of B.

Yes, if we explain it in such a manner, then it makes sense to me.

However, I wonder how do we know “using a car phone seriously distracts the driver, which in turn poses a threat to safe driving” is not a “if then” statement?

If using car phone –> pose threat to safe driving

If this is the case, /using car phone does NOT lead to /pose threat to safe driving (the oldest trick in the book)

Hello everyone,

I met someone in South Korea who got 180 on the LSAT. He said he copied down four RC passages from each LSAT practice test with hand. He called it a "Dictation Exercise." He said he was able to significantly boost his LSAT score from 172 in April test to 180 in June test. Do you think copying down RC passages with hand will help? I don't think he was lying and I intend to do what he did, but I would like everyone's opinion.

I am applying ED to Boston University through the distinguished scholars program, which would grant me a full scholarship if I am admitted. I am wondering if I should still write a why BU essay or if it is unnecessary since I'm applying ED?

Hi folks

Does anyone have any tips for reading in a more focused manner on a computer screen for RC passages? Does anyone track the lines with their finger on the screen? Any idea if that should be a problem for during the actual exam?

Any tips would be much appreciated!

If most apps are due by Feb and March, could one turn in their application with an LSAT score on file, but still try to take the LSAT again after submitting apps? I wanted to do it to negotiate scholarships with a potential higher score, but was scared that the application wont be viewed and would be missing the deadline if I signed up to take it after submitting apps.

Hello!

I had begun the law school application process last year, but opted for a gap year instead. On my LSAC account, I still have my LORs from last year. I'm planning on using the same recommenders, but how do I go about updating these LORs? Is this done from the recommender end? Do I need to instruct my recommenders to delete and re-upload? Or, am I supposed to "hide" these LORs and print out and email new LOR requests?

This process is all new to me and I would appreciate any insight. Thank you!

I am coming to terms that I have serious difficulty with sufficient assumption questions. IS there anyone that can help?

I’ve gone back over my notes but I’m still lost.

Hey y'all. I'm scoring -7/-6 wrong in LR at the moment. I'm looking to bring that number down to -3. Is there anyone that would like to go over sections with me?

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if I should re-procure letters of recommendation for the up-coming cycle. I applied extremely late last cycle (like mid-post march), and I plan on re-applying this year. Would you recommend asking for new letters of recommendation, or will my letters from earlier this year be sufficient?

What does "Psg/Game/S/Difficulty" mean?

Folks,

I'm at the point where I understand the RC...I'm not doing too bad at -4 or -5 if I have 40-44 minutes. But unfortunately we only get 35 minutes, so my question is: How do I close this gap?

When I do the timed version, I either relax and miss a whole passage or rush and miss 10-13...that's a pretty big delta.

Anyone got any advice?

I completely missed this! Does anybody have any notes/screencaps/information they can share from it? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Best,

Jordan

I actually was watching the movie and recognized a logic game set she was doing and I was like I been studying way too much for this test lol smh
