Hey guys,

I have recently been waitlisted at a few schools and I was wondering when is the best time to submit an LOCI? I have read on here that they recommend sending short and sweet ones every month up until right before the deposit deadline, and once there, to submit one that is more substantial. Is this something that is still recommended or should I submit a more substantial one sooner? Thank you! Good luck to everyone this cycle.

I'm the sort of person who did pretty well in school. I usually only get a few questions wrong on most tests, and I'll review those and improve. However, the LSAT is different. I'm getting around 40 questions wrong. How do you guys not get overwhelmed/discouraged?

Hi, I'm doing problem sets and for whatever reason there are no explanation videos for the answers. I enjoy watching the videos because I like to know what I did wrong and right. Why aren't there any explanation videos available? Maybe I am not looking in the right spot, but there aren't any for the practice test answers eithers. It seems as if the explanation videos are only on the syllabus. Can y'all help a sister out?

Hey everyone! I am looking for anyone interested to join a discord where we take and then blind review tests once a week together. We also regularly discuss questions we find difficult. I work full time, so this would be primarily focused on a sunday or saturday prep test, but then we put challenging questions or seek general advice in the discord and go from there. If interested please send me a message and I can add you to the discord channel!

Hi,

I have started the 7Sage Core Curriculum back in June and completed it at the end of December. It took me a while to finish the CC because I created a wrong answer journal for all LR and RC questions. Also, as JY has instructed, I practiced all LG questions in the CC until I can get every question correct with the given amount of time. I took the practice test #1 a week ago. My timed score came out as 148 and blind review score came out as 162. Here is the breakdown:

RC -6

LG -19

LR -9

LR -15

I definitely know that I can improve, but I am just wondering how everyone scored on their first timed test. Considering that I have scored 162 on the blind review, I strongly believe I can get the blind review score up until 175+.

Please share how your first practice test experience was.

Hello everyone, my name is Nyla and I am a college junior. I am new to the law school process and am in the planning and early prep stages. I am looking to form a study group with other students/people that are new to the process. We can work on all of the planning and create a schedule/accountability to go through this process together. I am hoping to apply for Fall 2023 admission. Please comment if you are interested and I will start get in touch. I am thinking a good group size is somewhere from five to eight people (could be less though). Thank you.

Hey Everyone,

I've been stuck between deciding the best approach for the CC. I am spending several hours a day on it and feel like I am not progressing. Initially, I was doing everything in order -- including all the problem sets. It's starting to feel counter productive: Each problem set takes me about 30min to an hour (this includes taking it timed, BR, and watching explanation on the questions I am not 100% confident with).Considering some question types have 10+ problem sets, after 2 or 3 days of working on the same question type I just get demotivated because I don't feel like I am really progressing in the material. Am I doing this all wrong?? Should I only solve a few and come back to them as I start focusing on the PTs or taking timed sections? Or should I be patient and get through everything in the CC?

How are you doing the CC...

Thanks in advance

I found this one very tricky.

As for AC A, I think I understand that AC A meets the target by introducing a third party, stress, that could be responsible for causing both snoring and smoking. However, I am wondering that what if stress indeed causes both snoring and smoking, and at the same time, smoking causes snoring. A third party cannot exclude the possibility that smoking doesn't cause snoring.

As for AC D, I understand that it indeed doesn't infer any hard causation. But I think it is a quite soft one. The more cases are, the better chance that smoking causes snoring. I think in scientific research, it is indeed has such inference?

Could someone help me with this confusion? Thank you!

I'm super torn about whether or not to delay a cycle or to take the February LSAT (I signed up for both January and February.) If I would take the February, my plant would be to push really hard for a month and apply this cycle. I know it probably sounds dumb but I would rather start law school at 26 than 27 and for some reason I have a hard time getting that age/timing thing out of my head! I originally took the LSAT in November of 2020, then decided to delay until THIS cycle after getting a 147. I definitely studied and have improved a lot (scoring in the 150's) but with my BR score in the 170's I know that I can do better with more time. Does anyone else feel a weird sense of embarrassment about delaying twice or have any experience doing so? I also have a fear about applying so many years after graduating college when my job is not in the legal field. This test has really become such a psychological test for me as much as a logical one lol.

Hi all, weird question here. My partner is currently deciding between med schools, and I'm planning on applying to law school this fall wherever she ends up. I get some input in this process, thankfully, and so I'm wondering how I should be thinking about this given that the set of schools I apply to will be very limited. Would it be worth it to choose somewhere that the admissions predictor gives me an 80% chance of getting into? 90%? Curious how others would approach this since it's a slightly stressful situation on my end (and the nature of med school/residency means it'll be a while before it's realistic for me to apply again).

Can anyone confirm that we can use ctrl+f during the LSAT without getting in trouble? I saw this on reddit but I always assumed we couldn’t.

Hi everyone! Is anyone interested in forming a virtual study group to prepare for the April 2022 exam? I've been studying for a couple weeks now and would love to have a group or even just a buddy to study with.

So far I've been scoring in the 169-171 range, looking to get 173+. I go to school full time and my classes start next week, but I'd love to find a time in our schedules to meet maybe 2-3x a week to work together and hold each other accountable.

Let me know if you're interested and we can get something started!

Hi everyone, I hope your New Year is off to a great start.

I am looking for a study partner for all three sections who is currently trying to break the 166+ range (which is where I scored this past November) and wants to go on to 170+ this year. I want a partner who is interested in dissecting the stimulus and not just looking at the answer choices; I want someone who is willing to talk through everything and will consistently answer their phone and messages and be honest and straightforward about what they want. I am breaking even on all three sections (-5) and am looking for help and to help. Instead of solely doing questions based on PT, I'd like to try to approach things by category (strengthening, weakening, miscellaneous games, etc) but I'm willing to adjust if needed. And if you are interested, please let me know what you scored on your test admin date or what your recent PT's are. My LG is solid and I am happy to try it out live: if you pick out a game, I could probably do it and explain it...but my RC has been stagnant for MONTHS and I'd like to improve on that and help you as well.

Hi everyone! So I applied to 2 law Schools. One where the application status date keeps changing while the other application for another law School hasn't been reviewed since the 12/9/21. I wanted to know what does an application substatus mean? I tried to ask the law school but they didn't respond to the email lol. I also wanted to know why does the status dates keep constantly changing while in review? Thanks!

I am about 50 hours into the coursework and have only done the diagnostic exam.

With my schedule, I have done this 50 hours over the span of about 6 weeks.

I am really struggling with my current section (end of Valid Arguments) and am wondering if I should go back and hit some old quizzes to make sure the basics are fresh in my mind. Or does it make more sense to continue through the course, and then go back? I don't want to spend too much time going back and reviewing materials and slowing myself down on the rest of the course.

Also, how often are you doing practice exams during the course, if any?

Did the LSAT ramp up the difficulty of the games as LSAT studying became more systematized? I went from getting -0 90%+ of the time while doing pre-60 sets and taking PTs in the 40s to getting extremely uncomfortable in the 70+ LGs.

Taking on January and I'm extremely nervous of getting caught off guard with a LG section that is much more difficult than what I am practicing.

Hi guys, so on PT 80,81,82 and 85, I averaged 165, but I just wrapped up PT86 and dropped to a 161. I'm definitely still happy with that score and totally understand that apparently 86 is a particularly challenging test, but I'm wondering if it's difficult enough to explain a drop in 4 points (5-6 additional questions wrong).

For context, the section that dipped the hardest for me was LR by -4 less than my average, and LG by -2/3. Would love anyone's advice on if I should be panicking or if there's still hope for me still hitting a 165 on test day next week.

This is my last time taking the LSAT (for various reasons, no retaking is not an option). I took a break from studying in December because I felt so burnt out.

I've been doing problem sets and reviewing some material to refresh my studying and feel like somehow I've gotten much worse? I took a PT today (the last one I am planning on taking before the real deal so I don't freak out) and...well...I'm freaking out. I took a PT today and scored lower than what I've been scoring ..I don't know what's going wrong or how to fix it in such a short amount of time. This January test is a make-it-or-break it for my career. Spiralling downwards FAST. Any tips? #Help

I am currently finishing up the core curriculum and have been struggling with the fact that a lot of the circling/side margin notation strategies are no longer applicable to the current state of the LSAT :(

I know myself to be a visual learner. So as someone who definitely would've been circling/scribbling little low res margin notes over the passage if it were still physical, i am struggling to find ways to break up the passages on the digital LSAT. My strategy for tackling the core curriculum has been to try and mirror J.Y.'s explanations/strategies. But personally i feel like all the circling and drawing lines between concepts that he does (that we are no longer able to do) plays a big role in that and my understanding.

Does anyone have suggestions on how they've adapted to this change for RC? or is it simply just training my short-term memory to adapt to this change?

Many Thanks!
