Without literacy there can be no general awareness of the injustice in a society.

How do I negate this sentence?

Should I negate 'without' as well?

(me: Without literacy there can be some general awareness of the injustice in a society.)

I do not know what is happening with my brain, maybe I am slow, but untimed all of the games are perfect. Timed is a disaster. I do not have enough time to make good inferences. How did you master thinking fast with the games? Practice only? Or are there any other tips?

I am trying to put all my effort into scoring a 170+. RC is the most variable section, I usually go from -3 to -7. I scored a 167 on Nov LSAT, but am trying to make that next jump. LG is usually -0 but can vary with substitution questions an LR is usually -2 to -3.

So I took the October 2021 LSAT and did alright. With only about a month of true preparation I scored in the mid 150's, and was higher than any of the practice tests. Probably could have done better, but literally a few hours before the test I became very ill with the flu. I couldn't cancel or reschedule at that point so I stuck it out. Unfortunately my score was few points short for the schools that are my top choices (mainly due to pricing and being close to home). So here I go taking the LSAT again!

I just want to improve my score enough to reach 158-160, which shouldn't be too much of a problem, but my goal is to score in the mid 160's. Anything higher would be a great surprise!

Now I am just wondering how I should approach studying. Due to personal reasons I was unable to start up studying again until now. I recently discovered 7Sage because I wanted another resource to help prepare. Should I just jump into the preptests while sprinkling in the lessons, or do I grind out the lessons and quizzes and focus on the preptest towards the end with a couple weeks to go? Any advice is welcome!

Hi everyone,

I understand that in a Strengthen question our task is to identify an AC that will make the conclusion more likely to be true.

In a Necessary Assumption question our task is to identify an AC the argument needs in order to have a chance to be true.

My question is, are there any fundamental differences between the two?

Any input would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello!! I have some GPA/transcript related questions for anyone that may be able to help.

My story is that I went to college back from 2011-2013. I partied a lot and didn't really take it seriously. I ended up dropping six classes, failed one, D in another, and C's through A's for the rest. I then dropped out and joined the military. Since being in the military I've gotten my associate's and taken plenty more classes online resulting in mostly A's. I have a total of 97/120 credits and a 3.1 GPA. My Poli Sci advisor said a 3.1 isn't bad for law school, but I'd like to get it up as high as possible to have the best shot at top schools.

Now I am out of the military, I am going back to finish my Undergrad in person at a state school. I am classified as a senior, likely graduating Spring 2023 or sooner. My receiving school did not take many of the A's I got from credits earned while in the military as electives, but they did take my F and D class (of course). I am taking things much more seriously this time around and am obviously aiming for straight A's until graduation. I know GPA is important on law school admissions so here are my questions:

I plan to retake the F and D class to help get the GPA higher. I have been told that the new grade will replace the old grade in the GPA, BUT that the old grade is still visible on the transcript? Does anyone know if this is a hinderance on Law School admissions, even if the failing/low grade is replaced with an A?

Do law schools care about W's (dropped classes) on transcripts?

Do law schools look into institution attended/different dates attended? I.e. - are law schools going to be able to recognize the date difference in my lower grades 2012 versus higher grades in 2022?

Any help/insight is much appreciated and happy holidays!!

I just started using 7sage. I have 5 weeks until the test. I scored a 150 on my diagnostic. I only need a 156 to get into the school I want. That's the median score, but my GPA is high, a 3.9.

My question is, what is the most efficient way to get to the 156? Do I drill the practice tests and then blind review? Or do I pick a section to work the most on to try to gain the points in that particular section to raise the total score? My diagnostics were:

LG -10 13 out of 23

LR -8 17 out of 25

LR -11 14 out of 25

RC -11 16 out of 27

What would you do?

I'm almost at the month mark and feeling solid on fundamentals. hoping a month is good enough to put me in the 160s. Obviously don't have time to do all, so which PTs should I go through? 70s-90s? Any recommended PT strategies are appreciated.

Hey Everyone,

I just scored a 16-high on the November LSAT (with a small proctoring issue), and am signed up for the January exam, hoping that another sitting will get me a slightly higher score. I'm averaging a 170 on practice tests, and that's my goal score heading into the January exam.

My strategy to prepare for this upcoming test is to try to really master LR, since I'm consistently between -3 and -0 on this section. I've noticed that when I go -3 I make a some sort of simple mistake on an easier question I know how to do, and then I get stumped by one or two hard ones at the end. There aren't any specific question types I struggle with, and I feel like my blind review scores are at a point of mastery - there's rarely a question I can't solve. The questions that stump me at this point are just hard questions....

Does anyone have any advice on how to consistently be able to break that -0 mark? My strategy right now is to drill the back 10 questions (15-25/26) every day, since that's where a lot of my errors are.

I felt like the most terrible order for me would be RC, RC, LG, LR

It would be extremely awful to have two RCs in a row and they are the first 2 sections.... I am so nervous.

I would be mentally exhausted to do the rest two sections.

Worst among the worst: the 2nd RC is the real RC section that accounts.

Does anyone have any experience or tips on negotiations? I have a 50% scholarship offer from a school that I would be considered in-state. So I would only have to pay 15k a year. I have another offer from a different school out of state. They offered only 10k in scholarships. The out-of-state school has better ranking, and location. I think it might be better for my career. So how do I get them to increase their offer? Or could I get them to increase their offer?

I have both my LSAT and GPA registered with LSAC and have been getting a bunch of emails from schools with waivers. Some schools are prestigious. Are these schools actually interested in me or do they send to everyone?

Hi does anyone know where I can get feedback on my personal statement. Or can anyone give me feedback please !!

Hi all,

For a few months, 7Sage Consultant Tajira (former AO at Berkeley and author of the forthcoming SAVVY SHELDON'S FEELING GOOD AS HELL) has been publishing a newsletter for our consulting clients. We decided to make it free for everyone—and to add an LSAT digest from our tutors. If you're interested, you can check it out here:

My freshman year I had an incident with drinking and got on probation with my school. I just called the office of student conduct to ask if it would show up on my transcript or any materials that get sent to law schools. They told me no and that the only time they report an incident to a school is if they reach out for a "background check sort of thing." Even in that case, they only report "major" incidents. I asked if probation is considered a major incident and he said no. To clarify even further I asked if my probation would be reported to law schools if they reached out and he said "no probation isn't considered a major incident."

Based off his answers, I don't think I need to write an addendum. I'm just so worried that somehow law schools will find out and in the case I didn't write one, I'm screwed. On the other hand, if I write one and they don't find out, I also screwed myself. I know you're supposed to write an addendum about any incident you had, but if it's not being reported, do I need to? I really don't know what to do here. I don't want to write about a drinking incident if I don't have to. But I also don't want it to bite me in the butt.

Hello,

This is the first time I'm taking the LSAT. I am looking for a LSAT study buddy, study group and people to share resources. I've been using the Trainer and Khan to study but I just can't seem to get a grasp at the strengthen and weaken logical reasoning section. Is there anyone willing to take part of a study group? I recently started my studying journey. If you like to take part you can reach me by email. We can connect through Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc.

Hey y'all! This is 7Sage Tutor Aastha and I can't wait to talk to you guys at our timing and pacing webinar tonight! Come hang out with us at 9pm EST by registering with this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7GRneE9aSPyfUmnx0IyaVA

After I finished a post bac program in 2020, I asked two of my professors to write me a letter of recommendation for law school, and they did. For various reasons I postponed my application to law to school and will now be applying in Fall 2022. Will these letters be too old? I also asked my current employer for a letter of recommendation, which will be submitted in a few weeks.

Thanks!

Can someone explain why B is correct and C/E are wrong?

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

Does anyone else feel like the correct answer on this one, C, attacks the premise directly? The Stem says that if we lower opera production costs so that they can be funded purely by box office tickets, we can do away with large corporate sponsorships which only play the most famous operas. AC C (for a weakener Q) states that operas cannot be funded without the help of large corporate sponsorships. Is this question one of those very rare ones where we do in fact attack the premise or am I misunderstanding something else about this question?

Hi Folks,

If you are in the same shoes as mine, let's just pat on our shoulders and encourage each other.

I am in a few weeks throwing my cast to a wider net of law school ocean, and 7page predictor rates are just a painful slap in the face. I cannot sleep with nightmares that I will receive 0 acceptance letters.

My NOV Lsat score did not move a budge from the disappointing Aug score after months of studying. I am taking my final shot in Jan but not hopeful..

I have finalized my PS (finally) and Resume, and biting my nails off to finish my DS, which I have underestimated how difficult it is to succinctly convince that I can bring any kind of diversity to the community. I wish I had started sooner.

I already feel so behind the cycle and every minute a spot I dont even have a high chance is being taken.

I am just suffering from low confidence that my package is just not competitive enough, which makes me hold on to it, but only to waste precious time.

Anyone experiencing the same anxiety at this point of time, how do you cope?

Hello Everyone I am John G. I just took the Diagnostic exam & and honestly I got a 120 on it and I feel pretty messed up about it. But Starting this LSAT Journey is something different from what I am usually going through. But Starting this what is the best way to start studying for it ? My goal is a 170 before the end of 2022. But some words of encouragement going forward.

We want to keep our compilation of interview questions current. If you've had a law school interview in the last three months, please post an account of it below. Include the school, all the questions you can remember, and anything else relevant.

We'll pick one poster by lottery for a free Edit Once. We'll also include the account on our interview page.

Thanks for your help in keeping this free resource up to date!

I canceled my first, I retook one and got a 146:( . After I registered with 7 sage for a month, my PT’s are around 158-164., but my most recent LSAT was 146:( (I was so disappointed with myself). Should I apply and then transfer or should I do 3 more months and take my 4th time? ( I know it is many times, I was not intended to do so)

My LSAT score jumped 19 points. From a 157 in June to a 176 in November. There were a few factors to why I scored so low in June compared to Nov (Exam day after finals week, loud college town, my room was 90 degrees, etc.) but more than anything I just wasn't ready. would explaining that i was exhausted from finals week be a good enough reason to explain the score jump? Also should I mention my cancelled score from April in my addendum?

Thanks for any help!
