How will Lsac show writing written on paper to law schools? is it a scan of the hand writing or they will show the typed version? I have been approved for paper and pencile accomodations but Im just wondering that how they will show it on my account to law schools cause if they just show a scan of it then it might affect schools decision as they would find out that I was accomodated upon my disability

I'm planning to apply for law schools for the Fall 2023 admission cycle and have an interest in patent law. I have a B.S. in Electrical Engineering with a 3.7 GPA and I have some electrical and software engineering work experience. My end goal is to do patent prosecution for a patent boutique. I'm taking the LSAT this month and think I can realistically expect a score of ~165.

Is anyone familiar with what schools I could expect to give full/substantial scholarships with these stats and background?

Hey 7Sagers, I just wanted to point out some issues I have had with the website the past few weeks (Idk if you guys have experienced the same but I hope things can change soon as it is becoming a bit annoying) (Using Chrome on Dell Inspiron).

Issue 1 - When I review my PT results with the list of questions with times, answers etc. when I move my mouse over any of the time that I took to answer the black box comes up showing my time in each visit, the target time but it will not go away once my curser is off it. It stays up regardless of what question I pull up and it gets in the way forcing me to reset the page.

Issue 2 - When I go into my analytics and try to see the changes in BR in my chart, the lines for question incorrect answers do not change. It is becoming increasingly hard to review my analytics, something that is both extremely important to not only my studies but to what 7SAGE has as a website that puts it far ahead of other Prep courses/sites.

Really hope these gets fixed as it is becoming increasingly frustrating to even look over PT answers for review and analytics to see what I got wrong.

The question is asking for us to resolve the paradox. Basically, the question is saying that there is an increase in % and a decrease in the total population, and is asking us how this is possible.

Pre-phrase - The denominator (i.e. the total population must have decreased) That way, you have a higher %.

B - This is what the answer is, but the part specifically "in the year before last" threw me completely off. I googled what this means, and it basically translates to "two years ago"

But, how does that resolve the paradox? If two years ago, there was a substantial decline in the population, that doesn't solve the issue. If it were last year, that would totally make sense, but the year before last = 2 years ago which is already provided in the stimulus.

Are they alluding to two different times two years ago? (i.e. Maybe the death happened in the later part of the year whilst the 32 case count was from the earlier part of the year?)

Sorry if I am slow (I know, it's question #1), but that clause was a red flag for me that deterred me in choosing it.

Hey I just had a quick question and wondered if anyone had some advice on how to get through all 4 passages on the reading comp section. Accuracy isn't really my problem, it seems like time is as I can only complete 2 passages. Any advice? How fast are some of you reading?

Anyone also PTing 170+ and looking for a study partner to keep each other accountable? I'm prepping for the August exam!

This is something we all say and then we either create groups, join groups or even try to join a group by responding to post on here, but nothing really comes from it.

I for one am in need to a study partner, AND this time around I am going to take the reins and start this and pray that it is effective for all of us.

I don’t care whether you are starting out or an expert. If you are scoring in the 120's-150's or the 160-170s. Your timezone or availability doesn't matter one bit! There are no questions I have or requirements you need to meet to join this group.

This group is for anyone who would benefit from another LSAT Studier/Taker. We all have an opportunity to learn from and help each other let's do what we do and beat this test together.

I am about to fool proof all games from PTs 1-35. Is it recommended to fool proof by game type? Meaning is it better to do, say, all of the in/out games from 1-35, then turn to other game types? Or is it recommended to go straight through the games in PTs 1-35 and, therefore, be exposed to many different game types in a random order?

I've finished almost all the CC and I've taken 5 full length tests so far. I'm registered for the April exam and intend to take the June exam as well. I'm struggling to bridge my BR and timed scores. Timed I have yet to break 155. BR I'm hitting 161-164. My goal is a 165+. Any advice on whether I should continue to take full length tests and crank them out or focus on drilling timed sections? I'm feeling a bit stuck and anxious. Thanks!

I remember having an option to put notes side by side videos. Was this feature removed, or is it still an available?

If anyone want to study for the Core Curriculum, please let me know.

I chose correctly during the actual PT but picked wrong during BR. I'm having trouble finding the conclusion in the passage to find the correct inference. I picked AC: A because I thought the other choices were irrelevant.

What should I do about these games? I'm foolproofing PT1-35 and I hit the stretch of PT10-16 and there was one pattern game on each and I was just dumbfounded. I couldn't do it on first glance and it has me worried if it pops up in 2022.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/ajfrzi/comprehensive_list_of_rarely_tested_logic_games/

on that list, there was a 20 year gap between the pattern games. Why did it just come up in the mid 2010s again?

I'm just worried bc most of the misc games I've came across in PT1-35 had me paralyzed when I first saw them. Although, I think I wouldn't see some of those misc games on the newer LSATs like the train station and the pattern one with words(hopefully not). What are y'all thoughts and advices on this?

I have noticed that any given PrepTest on lawhub.lsac.org has a particular sequence of sections which differ significantly from the corresponding PrepTest on 7sage.com. For example, PrepTest 86 on lawhub.lsac.org shows that S1 is an LG, S2 and S3 are LR, and S4 is RC. Whereas PT 86 on 7Sage.com shows that S1 corresponds to S3 (second LR) on lawhub, S2 corresponds to S1 (LG), S3 corresponds to S4 (RC), and S4 corresponds to S2 (first LR).

Is there a pedagogical reason for this decision by 7Sage? Can one expect a materially different score by altering the chronology of the sections one takes in a given PT?

I will soon finish the CC and plan to fool proof all games from tests 1-35 before I start taking PTs. My question is: when fool proofing, should you BR a game each time you complete it? I realize that, in most instances, you will do a game multiple times and watch JY's explanation for the game multiple times, so should you BR each game each time you complete them? Or should you go straight to the explanation video once you've done the game two or three times?

Hi, I got waitlisted from UVA law and I am desperately looking for any students or alumni that I can talk to!

If you are one, please talk to me! Your little help may change my life.

Thank you for your time

Can someone explain the justification for the answer being E. Seems like that would makes sense if the stem asks for the flaw in David's argument, but it doesn't.

Hi All,

I'm trying to stary a study group for accountability. If you are in the NYC area and want to join a group of supportive, motivated, and resourceful students, please feel free to reach out!

Can someone help me out here. This question and the way it's worded is giving me a great deal of difficulty.

From what I can gather the argument has two premises – a principle and a fact:

P1 - if competent to pass judgement on a subject → don't lack knowledge of the subject

P2 - Political "know-how" is a type of knowledge learned through apprenticeship and experience.

C - Therefore, if competent to judge whether a particular policy is fair to all → seasoned politician

In my estimation, this argument needs two things: First, it has to show that a "seasoned politician" doesn't lack knowledge of a subject. It does this by making the assumption that "if you have political know-how → you're a seasoned politician;" Second, it must then assume that "political know-how" and "[not lacking] knowledge of a subject" are the same thing. Reason being: Just because you have a type of knowledge, i.e. political know-how, doesn't mean you don't lack knowledge of politics. I feel like AC D then would best encapsulate this flaw.

Does this reasoning check out?

Also, if this question made sense to you intuitively would you mind explaining your thought process when reading the stimulus and identifying the flaw?

Many thanks.

So I have been studying off and on for almost 3 years now, taking breaks during difficult personal situations and tough academic periods during undergrad. I feel "decent" at LR and LG with a little bit more of a strength in LG, but my RC is AWFUL. I find that I am just generally a slow reader, and can take anywhere from 10-12 minutes per passage and questions which is just super slow. My goal score is somewhere in the mid to high 150s, and I was wondering if any of you wonderful people on 7sage has any advice for me to start implementing during timed sections and PTs in preparation for the June or August LSAT if I am really just trying to score in that range consistently.

I am a bit confused with this question. This is a classic cause --> effect stimulus and we are being asked to strengthen the cause and effect relationship.

To strengthen, there are three ways:

1/ Show that cause happens --> effect happens

2/ Show that cause does not happen --> effect does not happen

3/ Show that an alternate explanation is not responsible for both cause and effect

A/ What can't this be the third option? Doesn't the fact that there is no greater incidence of kidney disease for folks who have the bacteria in their stomach rule out the alternative explanation that kidney disease was not responsible for both the ulcer and bacteria?

E/ I understand that this is (no cause --> no effect) and is a strengthener, but I picked A since I was moving quickly in this section and to me, AC A seemed like an obvious alternative explanation that was being ruled out.

What am I missing?

Hello!

I am just getting started on my LSAT journey and am planning to apply for law school in Fall of 2023. My diagnostic was a 156 and I am aiming for high 160s or low 170s. I'm planning on dedicating a lot of time to LSAT prep this summer and would love to connect with some people who are also looking for study buddies and accountability!

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I would highly appreciate any feedback from the two schools. I received merit based scholarship from UC Hastings and is at the top of the list. As the first deposit is right around the corner, I am still waiting to hear back from UC Davis and app is still in review. Not sure if I should make my deposit soon or wait after I hear back from UCD. I would like to live on campus for the convenience there is the on campus housing app as well.

Ultimately, I hope to practice in Southern California and landing in big law.

Thank you and good luck all! :)
