Hello, I am planning to write the test in October/November 2021 and looking to study with ESL students. I am in Canada (EST). If interested, please reach out to me. Thank you!

I wrote my PS about being gay in rural America, and how that makes me want to pursue public service (in a nutshell) Should I write a DS about how being gay from rural america has given me a perspective that would benefit my law school? I don't specific address perspective in my PS, just my experiences. Wondering if the DS will be too redundant. Thank you!

Can someone explain to me why the answer isn't D?

My thinking was that D has to be assumed because if helmet wouldn't prevent the fatality then there would be no point in requiring the helmet since they would just be dead anyway? Morbid thinking but...

Stimulus:

Head injury is the most serious type of injury sustained in motorcycle accidents. The average cost to taxpayers for medical care for nonhelmeted motorcycle-accident victims is twice that for their helmeted counterparts. Jurisdictions that have enacted motorcycle-helmet laws have reduced the incidence and severity of accident-related head injuries, thereby reducing the cost to taxpayers. Therefore, to achieve similar cost reductions, other jurisdictions should enact motorcycle-helmet laws. For the same reason jurisdictions should also require helmets for horseback riders, since horseback-riding accidents are even more likely to cause serious head injury than motorcycle accidents are.

Which one of the following is an assumption upon which the author's conclusion concerning helmets for horseback riders depend?

(A) Medical care for victims of horseback-riding accidents is financial drain on tax funds.

(B) The higher rate of serious head injury suffered by victims of horseback-riding accidents is due to the difference in size between horses and motorcycles.

(C) The medical costs associated with treating head injuries are higher than those for other types of injury.

(D) Most fatalities resulting from horseback-riding and motorcycle accidents could have been prevented if the victims had been wearing helmets.

(E) When deciding whether to enact helmet laws for motorcyclists and horseback riders, the jurisdiction's primary concerns is the safety of its citizens.

Hi everyone,

LSAC made several announcements today. The following are a few summary points of the announcements:

I have also included the full text of LSAC's announcement below:

“Now that the vast majority of testing for the June 2021 LSAT-Flex has been completed and the scoring process is moving smoothly, we are pleased to announce that scores for candidates who have an approved LSAT writing sample on file will be released one day earlier than originally announced.

Scores will begin populating into candidate accounts at approximately 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 30, 2021. Please note that it could take up to 15 minutes for all scores to become available.

As a reminder, the deadline to register for the August LSAT is 11:59 p.m. ET, Friday, July 2. We hope this earlier score release will give candidates more time if they are considering the August test, particularly given how close the registration deadline is to the July 4 holiday weekend in the U.S.

For June test takers who have not yet completed their LSAT Writing session, we encourage them to do so as soon as possible. To ensure that their LSAT Writing is approved as quickly as possible, test takers should review the LSAT Writing guidelines, including the PDF and Frequently Asked Questions section at the LSAT Writing page.”

Ive become familiar with the system of translation but Im still struggling to understand the practical use of making the translations. Is it just that I can not do them fast enough yet? or is it something that I'm possibly missing? Any advice or tips would be appreciated, thanks!

I almost have LG down but I still have trouble with the questions that ask to substitute a rule for another rule to get the same results. Any general tips on approaching these kinds of questions?

Hey does anyone want to start a study group? Drop your IG handle. Mine is @creolebebev you can dm me.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am interested in consulting to help answer a few specific admissions related questions, not necessarily a comprehensive editing package. If I purchase the one hour consulting - can I use it to ask the specific admissions related questions? Any advice on consulting/the 7sage packages is appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Is anyone interested in becoming study buddies or making a GroupMe for the August 2021 LSAT? If you're currently in a group or are still looking for one are then let me know asap!I'm aiming for the 160s...

Thank ya!

Could someone explain what effect answer choice E has on the argument? Doesn’t it point out a flaw since the stimulus only talks about physicians who are too thorough and those who are not at all without considering the middle ground?

Does AC A resolve the potential issues with physicians who aren’t thorough enough?

I've been studying since end of March/Early April 2021 with plans to take the Aug 2021 test. Started at 153 and have been working on the CC everyday since. I'm still not finished CC (about 60% done), but I'm starting to feel like maybe I should give up on the whole thing. Highest score to date is a 159 but my most recent PTs have been 158 and 156. Pretty disappointing and feels like I'm getting worse as the test creeps closer.

Any advise or motivation?

Hello,

I have a few basic questions about in/out games and would love to run them by someone.

Is anyone here offering tutoring services or looking for a study buddy specifically for logic games where we could bounce questions off of each other?

I have been previously invited to a study group (thanks for the invitation) but I have decided to hold off on joining as I may not be of much help as I am solely focusing on logic games at the moment.

Thanks!

Hey guys I am currently averaging in the 168s and would like to eventually hit 175+. Would anyone want to be daily study buddies? Preferably someone who is also averaging around the same scores as I am. I think my strongest sections are LG, LR, and RC in that order.

Hey everyone,

If I wanted to apply to law schools for the 2022-2023 school year, would the last possible time to take the LSAT be the October date, or would I be able to take it in November or January and still apply for that year?

Hello!

I'm a UBC Vancouver student in the PST time zone who's looking to form a study group with a total of 4 people (including me) to prepare for the August LSAT. I took the LSAT in August 2020 and am at the point in my studying where I've reviewed all the theory that the 7Sage provides, and have also read some or all of the LSAT "Bibles" (mostly the Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension Bibles) and the LSAT trainer. I'm hoping to start taking practice tests every day and ideally get through all of the prep-tests from 37-89 before the August LSAT, but I'm happy to meet as a group anywhere from everyday to 2-3 times per week. Finally, I'm aiming to score a 165+.

If you have a similar set of goals and are at a similar point in your studying, let me know!

Anyone have an idea why LSAC makes us wait nearly 3 weeks for the results of an online exam? lol

I mean, surely 7 to 10 days should be enough to certify the results of the Flex?

I created a wrong answer journal and I don't think I'm getting as much out of it as I should be and could use some guidance. I put down what the question type is, why I got the question wrong, and what I'll do differently next time but my answers are pretty basic: "didn't read carefully", "second guessed myself", "made excuses for the answer choice I picked". If someone could explain on how to go more in depth that would be great, thank you!

Hello, I was wondering what are some helpful & efficient strategies to review LR questions after completing a set of 5. I feel like I am spending a lot of time reviewing correct/wrong answers. Sometimes it takes me at least 30 minutes to review a problem set of 5. I either watch a video or read the explanations.Thank you.

Admins: Is there a way we can search for certain subsets of RC Question Types? For example, if I'm searching for a particular kind of "Inference" question, can I narrow down a search by question stem wording? Come to think of it, is there even a way to search & create a problem set for RC questions by question type at all?

All: There's an RC question stem that reads along these lines: "Which of the following would most logically begin a paragraph immediately following the passage?" (e.g., PT1.1.27 - Psg 4 has a version of this). I know I've seen "continue the [usually final] paragraph," but I also feel pretty sure I've seen "continue the passage" Q-types in other RC passages as well, like multiple times.

Can anyone think of other passages w/ this kind of Q?

Thanks!

hi there! i've been seeing some folks on here talk about how they are fool proofing all the games from pt 1-35. i wanted to know if this is really recommended, as i usually only fool proof the games i am getting answers wrong in from pt 50 onwards. appreciate all of your advice

The scores for candidates who have an approved LSAT writing sample on file will be released one day earlier than was originally announced. Scores will now be released on 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 30, 2021.

So for those who do not have a writing sample on file, complete it as soon as possible to see the scores on time.

Could someone explain to me how early decision works exactly - i.e. do I have to designate an application as "early decision" or is any application submitted prior to a certain date (let's say November) automatically considered "early decision"?

I ask because I am planning to submit my application as early as possible - i.e. hopefully shortly after receiving my August LSAT score - but I don't necessarily want to apply "early decision" for all of the apps.

Also, how many "early decision" apps can I submit?

Thanks!!

This doesn’t have to be exclusive to the occupations listed above but I’m active duty Army and really struggling to find a consistent rhythm to get into and need some help. Currently trying to get one hour in a day during the weekdays and 2-3 hours in on either Saturday or Sunday. I’ve tried studying before physical training in the morning but I have sleep apnea and I’ve never been able to maintain it. I’ve been part of 7Sage for almost a year and I’m not even 75% of the way through the core curriculum and I’m really disheartened at how inconsistent I’ve been. If there’s a group for people with full time jobs or even if it’s just help and advice I’d really appreciate it. I’ve considered dropping my packet to get out of the army so I can find a job that would allow me more time to study but that isn’t really feasible for my family situation at the moment and I know there are others in this community with far more taxing jobs in terms of hours and stress that have made it work and I want to be one of them that figures it out. Thank you for taking the time to read this and good hunting with all your goals.

Very Respectfully,

Pat

Why there is no explanation videos for some of the old LR question (PR 1-15 ish) ?
