Recently received advice that for my goal score - currently averaging 152 to 154 (sorry im typing this after a very long day) - just need around 7-10 more answers total correct to get what I need for my top schools. advice was to keep up LR and Reading and try to improve these sections, but since thats around -8 -9 and logic games is around - 11to -13, it makes most sense with the time crunch to keep drilling logic games as everyone has labeled this section "easiest to improve on."

I agree, and I can see why. Please help me though. The reading comes to me more naturally than logic games and I know its because it takes time / practice / nothing like you've ever done in academic history etc, I know my brain and im trying to articulate that these puzzles are very hard for me in a general sense. I usually can get the set up pretty good for most games even if im not too fast at it, understand the logic behind it, but the questions is where I go wrong. yes I know there is video explanations. I have been watching them. its hard to keep up with the question format in the explanations vs what I have on paper (with such strict time constraints) and the explanations are not necessarily helping me improve, even when I truly am listening and taking it in.

It would mean the world to me for thorough advice and step by step insight. What would you do in my situation, specifically? Im willing to put in the work, but feel like I need to change something.

Thank you so much in advance.

Hi everyone. I am a white female currently applying for law schools. I would like to put "decline to answer" on the race section of the application, because I think it's unfair that schools even ask that and is unnecessary. I believe it is, unfortunately, second nature to be prejudicial when you have this information. So, my question is: is this a bad idea? Will it look worse on me if they do find out my race later on? Will this cause me more harm? Any insight would be great, thank you.

Please no pretentious comments. I need real advice. Taking November LSAT and just need 158 to 160 for high likelihood of getting into my schools, lmu chapman usd etc. please help me out with the best study techniques for for these last two weeks. I can do it.

I only need about 5-7 more correct answers on average which means either perfecting one section or a little bit in each. What would you do? Drill drill drill?

Can someone help me with logic games?

Please any genuine and thorough advice would mean the world catered specifically to my situation / goals

I've gone through about 50-60 games so far (PT 1-35). I'm having a lot of trouble of creating the initial master board for never seen before games. That's my main issue, once I make the proper boards, I can clear the questions quickly.

Foolproofing has been "working" so far. For games that initially took me 15 minutes just to get half of the questions wrong because I don't know what the hell I was doing when making the masterboard, now takes me 5-7 minutes because I foolproofed them so many times.

It looks like my biggest fear is coming true. Foolproofing is making me faster at memorizing the games itself. Rather than memorizing the important inferences needed to be made when attacking never seen before games. To note, when I do foolproof, I do the whole game from scratch without memorizing the game rules, I try my best not to make any "cheat" inferences which are completely unintentional, but rather memorized because I foolproofed it (doing the game so many times over and over again)

Any tips?

I am very geographically limited as I know I want to live in California and have been here my whole life. Only applying to USD and Chapman. Love LMU and Pepperdine but cant do locationally / financially. I do not want any pretentious comments or unsolicited advice. Please only respond if you know which law school is worth going to more, I know chapman is a great school but personally know 4 people from USD law who created great success for themselves. Yes, I am also aware stats are available online. I looked things up and am nonetheless confused or feeling ambiguous. Please let me know which school has what pros / cons from any knowledge you have. I need guidance and help, nothing negative please!

I’m scheduled for the November lsat and for the past four days I’ve been consistently getting a 161 instead of my usual 165-166. I’m reviewing all my wrong answers and understand the logic, but it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know what I can do to help my score stabilize in the next week or so. Does anyone have any advise?

This is my first time taking the LSAT. I’m kind of freaking out and am not sure if I should reschedule my test or not.

I am taking the Nov Lsat and I really want to improve LR as much as I can in the next two weeks. My logic game is pretty strong and RC is average. For LR, I average about -10 to -11. I want to make the most out of the time I have remaining but I am stuck on how to improve. Should I just keeping drilling previous Logical reasoning sections? My goal score range is between 158-160 to get into the school I want.

Hi! Im taking a month or two off studying, and I wanted to "cancel" my membership for those two months. Does anyone know if I will lose all of my test data if i cancel for two months and renew in January?

This is a bit of a picky random question, but I was wondering if the online version of the official LSAT has the X's to cross out answers that you believe are wrong. I don't want to get used to this feature then feel naked if it doesn't exist on the actual LSAT. For those who have taken the test, please let me know. Thanks!!

After taking a drill, and reviewing your results, there is a "priority" category. Which will either say "v low" or "v high"

What does this mean? I'm constantly getting the "v low" ones correct, but not always the "v high" which I am concerned about.

I am scheduled to take the November and January LSAT. I received time accommodations for January only. I been thinking about canceling the November exam to put all my focus on January since I would have to adjust my PT exams to match my accommodations. Should I take the November test to see how proctoring goes so I know what to expect in January or is it not worth it?

I find myself getting a little overwhelmed with the study methods and how to logically reason myself to understand the correct answers before they are explained. My first practice test did not go well and left me a bit discouraged. Does anyone have some advice on ways I can help prep myself a little better.

Hello, is there a way to remove the option of closed captioning automatically appearing when you start a video? I know you can downgrade the video player's functionality, but I like to use most of the functions its just that the closed captioning feature always needs to be manually turned off for every video explanation. IS there anyway to remove this "auto-on" feature for CC. #help

A bit of context: I am currently 2+ years out of undergrad. I worked in a summer research program during undergrad where I worked closely with a graduate student, who was on a PhD track and one of the principal researchers on the project. In addition, I spoke every 2 weeks with the supervising Professor on the program to touch base with him about research progress. The graduate student was my main mentor, and he had daily insight into my daily research work.

From what I gather from online sources, a professor in my major would be the optimal person to write my LOR. However, I feel that the graduate student who supervised my daily work is much more familiar with my work ethic and research abilities. Would law schools view a personalized, well-written letter from a graduate student mentor/instructor less favorably compared to a more general, but still overall positive LOR from a professor?

Thanks!

Are you looking for an easy way to find people to study with? Or do you just want a break from reviewing questions on your own?

You're in luck! Join us for our next "Study Group Breakout" on Tuesday, November 8th from 9:00-10:30pm ET.

Here's how it works:

  • Register for the Breakout no later than Monday, November 7th.
  • Take PT52 Section 4 (based on 7Sage's numbering - should be an RC section) and blind review it, but DON'T look at the answers (I suggest you take it as a "Drill" rather than as a PrepTest)!
  • Log in to the Breakout Session at the appointed time. We will automatically place you in a group of 3-5 students with similar scores so you can review the section together.
  • At the end of the session, you can exchange emails and keep meeting if you enjoyed the group.
  • Hope to see you there! Register for the event using this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMvcOmsrzIqGt3h0wVqnDsJjKE32CTxHXEs

    Forgive me if this question has been mentioned already, but is it that important to put every single piece of information, such as pronouns, parents education, if ive ever received a federal pell grant and such? Thanks in advance!

    Hey guys!

    I'm sure this question has been posted before, but I wanted to get some input on what others think of this. Since there are only a couple weeks left until the November LSAT, I wanted to change up the way I take my last prep tests.

    I'm thinking of simulating a "modern" LSAT and afterwards grabbing a LR, RC, or LG section and taking that as my experimental section. That way, I get a better idea of what my score will actually be since not simulating the modern test counts all 4 sections. Not simulating the modern test and taking all my prep tests with 2 LR sections makes me nervous that a second LG or RC section would throw me off on test day.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi 7Sage,

    I'd like to ask a question about changing my subscription, and when I try to navigate to "Contact Us," it's not clickable as a link. Due to that, I can't seem to find an email address, phone number, or form fill to ask my question. What is the best way to get in touch with 7Sage to ask questions related to my account?

    Thank you!
