I have a tendency to value quantity over quality when it comes to...most things. When I started gearing up for the November test about a month ago I thought 40 hours a week should be my standard, but I work a full-time job too. So I've been going to sleep and waking up outrageously early (7PM-3AM). Would I be better served by just studying less and giving myself a social life again? Or is this weakness creeping in?

How many hours in a day can you truly study effectively? I'd love to know what your sweet-spot is

I've been studying for a while now and while I don't necessarily score as horribly as I did before, I can't seem get past the -7/-8 stage. I've gone through MANY of the LR sections and blind reviewed everything. I also watch a majority of the explanation videos, but even that still doesn't seem to be enough. Any advice please? I need help :/

I took June LSAT Flex and is nervously waiting for my score. I think I did significantly better than last year ( improving by 20 points I think ) thank to 7sage family. Yesterday, I was panic because I received a notification from LSAC :"We are writing to let you know that your recent LSAT-Flex session is currently being reviewed, along with others, for an incident that was recorded during the administration of the test. Please be assured that your session is intact and your test answers have been recorded properly.

Most reviews are completed within a few days of score release, but some may require a more comprehensive review. We are working diligently to complete the review as quickly as possible. If you have not received your score within 5 days of score release, you may reach out to TestSecurity@LSAC.org for more information."

I can't think of anything that make them flag or put my session on hold, other than briefly lost internet connection but just a few seconds. I did not submit any feedback or complaint because I think I did good and I want to keep my score.

Has anyone experienced with this situation before? I am so nervous that they cancel my score. Please help!

"Sequencing Game Wa Twist Double Problem Set 3" I think is one of the holy grail problem sets that dramatically improved the way I view hard sequencing games. Highly recommend fool proofing it if you haven't.

Does people at 7sage still do this from time to time?

Hi,

I am a Junior at UC Berkeley, majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in Japanese.

I was just wondering if T6 law schools would look into what kind of courses you took in undergrad? Do I have to impress them by taking many "difficult classes"? My GPA is not very impressive and I am trying to boost it up as much as I can before I graduate. If GPA is the only thing they care, I will just take a lot of relatively more fun History/Sociology classes to secure my gpa and polish my writing skill. Catching two birds with one stone...

So, I was just listening to the Powerscore Podcast (the first episode on causality), and Dave said the following: If you want to ask a series of confusing questions about concept differentiation, ask someone to describe the difference between some are not, and not all.

Well Dave, I am confused. They seem like the same to me! The only thing I can think of is this:

Some are not implies a positive amount, there has to be at least 1 of a group that is not like any of the other members.

But not all can mean zero: for example if you say that not all of these apples are green, it could be the case that none of them are green.

The problem that I run into with this, is when I think about equivalent statements:

Not all of the apples are green

Some of the apples are not green.

These are logically equivalent.

Does anyone else have some insight? Maybe he just said it offhand and there really is no difference.

Hi people,

Since my wifi is much better at my office than at home I'm planning to take my test there. My office computer setup is a laptop hooked up to a second monitor. That means that I'm not staring right into the camera (I look at my monitor, and the camera is on my laptop). Is that setup allowed, or do I need to be using a device that I'm looking at straight on? It'd make sense if I couldn't use the standalone monitor and needed to use my laptop instead, but it would be awesome to be able to use a bigger screen during the test. Thanks in advance!

If anyone knows any books that are dense -- but not too dense -- that you can read while studying for the LSAT, please list your suggestions. I enjoy topics like basic economics, experimental technologies (i.e. quantum computers), social injustice, or history books, just to list a few. Also, big philosophy guy.

Any current or former UPenn students willing to do a quick chat? Anyone who is a Toll Scholar or Fellow would be particularly cool to talk to but I'm not picky. Looking for inspiration for "Why School X"

Hello everyone,

This is my first time posting in this forum. I am beginning to get very frustrated with my LG performance. I end up in the -13 to -10 range when I do a full timed LG section but I am able to get to -1 or -0 on BR consistently. Any pointers on how I can improve my performance when timed?

Cheers.

Tips on going from mid-high 160s to 170s? What helped you the most? Would it be worth my time to do thorough review or to get in more timed practice?

Am I the only one who doesn't actively write inferences or conditional statements when doing LR? If so am I doing myself a big disservice? As of now I prefer to just read it naturally and let the info sink in instead of trying to draw inferences that might not make any sense. Anyone else do this or if you do and think I should what would be your advice?

The questions i'm getting wrong on LR aren't because I don't know what I'm doing. They're because I keep missing minor details in the stimulus. Any tips on how to overcome this?

How many PTs (taken in my goal score range) is good enough for me to know that I am ready to sign up for the lsat?

Hi y'all!

I'm planning on spending 2 hrs/week to hold free tutoring sessions for all sections for the August LSAT. I've been PTing in the mid- to low-170s range and occasionally high 160s, so I figured this would be good for discussion/tutoring. I'm pretty good with LG and RC, and am good at most question types on LR. I also weirdly really enjoy Parallel questions, so if any of you are having trouble with those, bring on your questions! Let me know in the poll if anyone would be interested in attending and your preferences, and I'll post a Zoom link if anyone would actually attend :)

If more people end up choosing Option #2, then the day is tentatively a Thursday, and would be 8:30-9:30 pm EST to accommodate for any west coasters!

**Note: As a rule, for the benefit of everyone, I'm going to try to limit questions to pre-70s PTs, or at least PTs that everyone has all done. We want to keep the newer ones in pristine condition!!!

Update edit:

people haven't been showing. see my comment below!

Hello 7Sage community. If any of you uses a warm set of questions before taking a full length, would you be so kind and share it?

Hi,

As the title states - I am on track to complete the CC in another week or 2. I plan on writing in October and have from now until then to PT. I doubt I will be able to finish every PT that is available. As such, I was wondering if it is even worth while to do the older PT's or just stick to the newer ones (50s+) that are more representative of the test today.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Everyone.

I've just spent the last few weeks crafting my personal statement (with a 7sage editor) and have an essay I'm very proud of at 2 pages 11pt. font.

However, I've noticed some schools specifically request 2 pages 12pt. font. When I increase the size to 12, it adds another half a page. I really don't want to mess with my essay further.

Does anyone know what would happen if I submit a PS in 11pt font, even though they ask for 12?

Thanks!

Hi 7Sage Community!

We’ve renovated the pricing page for our admissions services. The prices themselves have not changed, but we now show you a new package—Admissions Consulting Plus—which used to be hidden away on its own page.

Admissions Consulting Plus entails help on ten law school applications plus all-inclusive after-the-application support. You can still purchase the old Admissions Consulting package by opting out of after-the-application support.

https://share.descript.com/view/mePWK2Z1pqZ

What do I get with Admissions Consulting Plus After-the-Application Support?

7Sage Admissions Consulting has always been about providing personalized advice to help you highlight your strengths as a candidate and tell a coherent and persuasive story throughout your application materials. We offer unlimited assistance for up to 10 law school applications. Admissions Consulting includes unlimited editing and professional proofreading of every application document and advice about application strategy from former admissions officers. We will get you started on the right path and help you stay on track.

Admissions Consulting Plus also includes continuous assistance after you submit your applications until you make a final decision at the end of the admissions cycle.

Why would I need help after I’ve applied?

We will do everything we can to help you get the decision you want as early in the cycle as possible, but some candidates find themselves facing interviews, navigating waitlists, or juggling scholarship offers. A consultant who has reviewed hundreds if not thousands of law school applications will be on hand to help you get the best outcomes. She will. . .

Can I just get help constructing my applications without the After-the-Application Service?

Sure! 7Sage Admissions Consulting without the After-the-Application Service is still available at its original price.

If I change my mind, can I buy the After-the-Application Service later?

Yes! We still offer the After-the-Application Service as a separate service with the choice of hourly or comprehensive options. However, if you purchase this service separately, the total cost to you will be more than that of Admissions Consulting Plus.

I started the CC a month ago and have 3 more months left before I take the LSAT. Currently I'm more than half way through with the CC but that's without doing much of the CC problem sets. My strategy is to finish the CC very soon and have the rest of the 3 months to just drill problem sets and practice problems from all 3 sections including the CC problem sets I skipped. I'm currently putting in 4-6 hours of lsat studying in each day.

My diagnostic was a 131, goal is to reach around a 170. Any thoughts on this time frame I have and strategy I have chosen?

I'm a little confused about the relationship between the taxes and bus fare in this stimulus. In the first sentence, when it says bus fares are subsidized by city taxes, does that mean at least some of the fare is covered by these taxes? And when the councillors argue that city taxes should benefit those who pay them, is he assuming that people who commute from outside the city don't pay any taxes? Is that why he concludes that bus fares should be raised? to lessen the burden on the taxpayers? Is D wrong because it is talking about raising taxes and not the bus fares?

Hi everyone, so I have just started preparing for my LSAT and plan to apply in the Fall 2022 cycle. I have one chance to give it in October 2021 or next is January 2021. I am not sure whether it would make sense to send in applications and give LSAT in Jan 22' so as to have enough time to prepare for it or attempt it in Oct 21' so that I can apply for ED. A bit of my background, I am a full-time lawyer working in India as of now and I am new to the process. Any advice on this aspect would be helpful and much appreciated!!! Thank you in advance!

I'm in the beginning of my lsat studying process and as of now I have my test date set as January 2022, the problem is the 7sage study schedule I have made needs me to allocate 30 hours a week for lsat prep and I usually only get a couple hours in a day and get super behind by the end of the week. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of maybe working at my own pace and ignoring the schedule but if I do that I worry I will end up doing the test much later than I intended.

Does anyone know what time the August 2021 LSAT test will be administered? Since it's still in the online format, but its not Flex, I'm not sure if we will have the opportunity to schedule it at anytime during the day, or if there will be a set time we all take it (like 9:00am est)

Would love to start taking practice tests at the set time if I can figure out what time of day to expect to take it, but I can't find anything about this from LSAC!
