Hi guys, I was hoping someone could help me out here. I'm taking the June 2022 LSAT and I've been studying since February daily for around 4 hours. I got a little distracted for two weeks because of spring break and while I am back on my grind, I've run into a little problem. I'm about two weeks away from finishing the Core Curriculum, but I'm stuck on the Logic Games section. I know that for the LGs, I should do each question I get wrong ten times, but should I be doing them ten times right now, or after I finish the CC and start practicing? Once I finish the CC I'll have about a month and a half of practice time ( I'll be studying 6 hours each day including weekends) but I don't know if I should I should try to master the LG now and then save the practice later for other things, or finish the CC first. I'm scared I wont get through the CC if I spend too much time on the LG section, but at the same time I don't want to risk it. Please let me know your thoughts or opinions I feel so lost!

Hello, Study Buddies!

I hope all is well and that studying has been going relatively smoothly. As you know, we are nearing the end of our second week of studying since we formed as a group-- go us!

I wanted to let you know that our GroupMe has been growing and the information, resources, and tips everyone has shared has been incredible. One of our most recent and exciting resources for our group is the opportunity to have an hour seminar with 7Sage’s Scott Milam.

As a group we are currently trying to find the best day and time to meet and are in the process of ironing out an agenda for our seminar, so if you have not had a chance to check out our GroupMe and pitch your ideas and availability, I encourage you to come to one of our study sessions or to reach out to me and communicate to get the link to our GroupMe if you don’t already have it. The poll to vote on the meeting time with Scott closes March 27 @ 9:35 PM PST in the GroupMe (that’s 3 days from now; the sooner you can vote, the better.)

Our burgeoning group of study buddies have been supportive and friendly and have far exceeded my expectations. To my study buddies that have been coming to the sessions and communicating with me and each other, thank you, you are truly amazing!

If you haven’t had a chance to drop in to a study session yet, or maybe you feel too much time has passed, or you feel awkward, or any number of reasons why, I want to let you know that you are still welcome in our group and that there are folks (including me) wanting to (e)meet you, encourage you, and study along side you. Please reach out and let’s get you plugged in.

Mark Twain once said, “The secret to getting ahead is getting started.”

Hey guys! I hope you are doing well! I have a question that really needed some advice!

I scored 173 last August and am applying for the 2022 cycle. I have multiple scores on my official record. I still have one last chance to retake the LSAT if I want to.

I am thinking about retaking the LSAT because I was waitlisted and rejected by all of the schools I am applying for. Although I am still waiting for the last three schools, I am worried.

I read on some discussion forums and blogs that for Asian who has a lower GPA and is aiming for T15 Law schools, the LSAT needs to be 175+.

If I retake, and my score is lower than my previous, it will get ugly. On the other hand, how much better off if I have a 175+? It seems very risky, but I really don't know anything else to do now. For the schools that waitlisted me, I don't have many updates. I saw many people with higher GPA and LSAT than I were also waitlisted. I am afraid I won't have much chance with a slight update on my resume.

So I am really frustrated and hoping someone can give me a suggestion on whether to retake or not? And other than retaking the LSAT, are there any other soft factors that can improve my chance of getting in?

Thank you very much for your help! Good luck studying the LSAT and applying for law schools.

Hi everyone,

I studied for about 4 months last year and finished 85% of the CC and took two practice tests, but I stopped studying towards the end of December. Its been so hard for me to start studying again. Does anyone have any advice on how to start after you've taken a "break"? For reference, my strongest area is LG, and my weaker areas are LR and RC.

I have a tutor I have been working with for about a month now, she's not 7sage affiliated and I feel sometimes we have a disconnect about what a good session looks like. She definitely knows the LSAT, but I'm not sure if we are getting the most out of our sessions. I'm working through the curriculum and she feels I should be testing more often. Does anyone have any advice on How a good tutoring session should go? (What success looks like)

Hi everyone, I applied to 6 schools and was accepted to my top choice school (UT) and another good in-state option (SMU). However, I have still not heard back from the other 4 schools (BC, Duke, Vandy, NW) and the deposit deadline for UT/SMU is April 14. I applied to all late December. As the deadline approaches, is it ever appropriate to reach out for an accelerated decision? I'm worried I will have to deposit without knowing results from other schools, and without being able to ask for scholarship reconsideration from UT or SMU. Does anyone have advice for this situation?

I am curious about general policy/sentiment regarding deferrals. Do schools generally view them favorably (especially this year with so many applicants) or unfavorably? I enjoy my current job and am somewhat ambivalent whether I go this year or next. Would they preserve my scholarship? Would there be a chance at increased scholarship if I just re-apply? @"Selene Steelman"

Hi all,

Based on the 4th paragraph, I wanna know how do you tell where the author's tone/ emphasis lies? Through the whole 4th paragraph, it seems to me that the author is simplyly reporting the critics' viewpoint. That is, the author sounds quite detached, IMO. I couldn't see any line or word which suggest author endorese or commit to either a critic or proponent.

Could you please share how do you see this paragraph? Thanks a lot.

My original goal was to score as high as possible on the LSAT and try to get into HYS Law; however, I have realized that it works better for my family if I have no loan to be repaid post-graduation. Thus, my goal still stands the same: Get as much high score as possible on the LSAT; yet, I am trying to go to a law school that pays me the most scholarship. I am wondering if any law school pays for the entire tuition and also if they pay for housing as well. Please speak about it if you know any details.

Thanks!

    I am looking for someone to study with or a group. I am better when working with someone else and unfortunately the study system this program has isn't doing any justice for me. Is anyone interested? if so, send me a message and I will create a group to start studying together.

    Hey, so I recently did this MSS question and I struggled to understand why A is the answer, could anyone help pls? I picked B cause I really didn't know what else to choose. I didn't like A cause it said a "comprehensive approach" but how do we know that a comprehensive approach could shrink the health care costs?

    Thank you :)

    Would it be best to continue taking the full tests that automatically have 2 LRs as practice tests for the new LSAT Flex with Experimental Part , or should we be switching out the fourth section to be either an extra LR, LG, or RC to better represent the random experimental part we will receive? I'm nervous about doing this second way, as then I will have to do more manual scoring and analytics.

    Taking test in April

    Hi, I am looking for a serious and consistent study partner in New York City to meet with at least once a week. I work full-time. I am available on weekday evenings and weekends. Please let me know if you are interested and we create a study plan.

    I have spent the last two and a half months going through the core curriculum and now that I have finished it, I feel like I have built a solid foundation of the test. I have a couple questions about the test, mainly the LG, and progressing with my studies.

    About LG:

    I have done some games prior to doing 7sage’s LG course, but they were all in PT40s-60s. I saw a couple misc games in those PTs and didn’t think they were too bad. However, I felt that some of the games I saw in PT1-35 were the most difficult games I’ve ever seen. Mainly because the misc games were so hard to diagram and it was frustrating to visualize it. I was under the assumption (because of what my friends told me) that the old LGs were easier than the new games, but the more I look into it people say the old LGs are more difficult and the new LSATs does not have some of those weird diagram games anymore from the 1990s-early 2000s. What’s the consensus on the older and newer LG games in terms of difficulty and diagramming?

    Also, I plan on foolproofing using Pacifico’s method(link for reference: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737) for PT1-35 so I can get a better feel for doing games. If anyone is familiar/did it with it, how many games did you do per week? Should I for example, start 5 on Monday, re-take on Tuesday, start a new 5 on Wednesday like one of the last comments on that thread said.

    Tips on moving forward:

    So, now I’m kind of stuck on what to do for the other sections right now as I foolproof LG. I committed myself for 1.5 months on the LR curriculum and when I finished it, I didn’t look at it until I finished the LG and RC section. But I think that break was beneficial for me anyway, so how should I progress into doing full sections from untimed to timed. I also picked up the loophole because I heard it’s great to supplement with the LR curriculum. I was wondering for anyone who did the same, how did you incorporate reading the Loophole to what you had already learned from 7sage? Mainly what I am asking is how should I set up my weekly schedule now for drilling? My targeted test date is June, so I have about 2.5 months and I have no obligations for anything else.
