I am signed up to take the June LSAT and I am behind on my course. I am currently 77% of the way through the CC meaning that I have 50 hours left to finish it. I have not done any PT's since my diagnostic. I have about a month until my test. Do I push through the 50 hours of CC or do I jump into PT's and do that for the next month?

Hi everyone, I've been really overthinking this the past couple of months and decided to come on here for advice.

I took the January LSAT this year and got a 164. In community college I received a 3.9 GPA, transferred to UC Berkeley, and got a 4.0 GPA there. I really want to get into a T-14 (actually want to go back to Berkeley or get into Stanford/UCLA), I know my GPA is in pretty good standing but my LSAT score is on the lower side.

After taking the January LSAT, I registered for the June LSAT with the intention of getting above a 170.

That being said, I'm feeling really burned out after studying for a year while working a full-time job. I am still scoring in the mid 160s (but also BRing in the mid to high 170s). I've seen some suggestions on here to treat the LSAT as a full-time job and take a break from working, but my income right now is supporting two other ppl in my family so that's not an option for me at the moment :/ I think the burnout I feel is not just because of the LSAT but because of familial obligations, getting as much OT I can at work, etc.

Anyways! I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for me? Here are my options as I see it:

  • I push back the LSAT to August and push really hard to PT at the 170s range beforehand.
  • Say "f it" and take the June LSAT and hope for a 170+ score.
  • Apply to T-14s with what I have now and hope for the best (scholarship money is a big factor for me but maybe I'll just take the L on being in debt for some years idk).
  • Thanks everyone! I'll really appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond to this.

    So, I just got done with the June 2007 Prep Test, early in the course and received the lowest score I have ever gotten on any LSAT test. Anyone else have this happen? Kind of discouraging and am just trying to figure it out

    Hi everyone, I've been rolling around in this question for a very long time and still have some fundamental questions so would be great if someone can confirm my thinking/help answer those questions. Thanks in advance!

    Stimulus breakdown:

    P: The robots that are being designed are the ones that can be maintained with the least expensive, least skilled human labor possible

    C: So robots won't eliminate demeaning work, they're just gonna basically substitute one "demeaning job" for another

    In more human terms, the argument is saying that if there are 100 people assembling car parts in a factory (assuming that we call that a demeaning job), then the addition of robots will basically take those 100 jobs and turn it into 100 jobs of monitoring the robots (which they also assume is a demeaning job).

    My question: It seems like this question makes us assume that "hazardous and demeaning work" is the same as "least expensive, least skilled human labor." Is this a flaw or is this something we could be allowed to assume?

    Answer Choices:

    A) Using 2-step test, this does happen in that he ignores that some jobs might be eliminated if the factories don't use robots. But this is not the flaw because even if he did consider that, it doesn't hit on the conclusion that robots are really just substituting and not reducing the net # of demeaning jobs

    B) Not descriptively accurate, so fails step 1

    C) Descriptively accurate - he doesn't specify what the engineers think but fails step 2 because that's not an issue. Even if he hits on the sentiments of the engineer, it doesn't weaken his argument that the robots are just subbing demeaning jobs and not even decreasing the net #

    D) Not descriptively accurate - there's not any fear that's happening here

    E) Descriptively accurate and if he did acknowledge that it's possible that 1 robot could replace the 100 shitty jobs in the care factory with just 1, then his conclusion that "robots will not eliminate demeaning work" no longer holds.

    My question here is though, is it okay that a weakening answer basically completely destroys the argument? I know we can't attack the premise but not sure where that stands for the conclusion/broader argument.

    I’m having a really difficult time with LR. Is there an approach that works for you when taking the test under timed conditions? For instance, MBT means do this; MSS means look for this. Sort of a guide or plan of action for each type of question.

    Hey everybody. I am hoping to apply this upcoming fall. I an worried about something on my application though. I transferred from a community college to a UC. At the community college my GPA was significantly lower than my UC GPA ended up being (something like 3.2 -> 3.8 I think). So this averages my LSAC GPA to something like a 3.5. How much do you guys think this will impact my chances of getting into a good school? Like will better ranked schools see a 3.5 LSAC GPA and not bother looking deeper into it? Thanks in advance!

    (PT9 S4- #13)

    J: worked 3 years and will vacation 4 weeks this year

    Everyone who worked 1-4 years entitled to 3 week vacation

    Apply half of unused vacation to next year.

    So it makes sense to me that J had two weeks left over from last year so she got half of that this year

    (A) J did not use two weeks in which she was entitled to

    (C) J only used one week in which she was entitled to

    What is the difference between the two and how can I distinguish them?

    Hi there!

    My name is Jaganath, and I've been studying off and on with 7sage for four years. I am a non-traditional student: I'm 34.

    I have 71% of the core material finished (on the 3rd problem set for In/Out games), and I would like to habituate better study rituals and have someone(s) to discuss things with regularly. I have booked a free consultation with 7Sage for Tutoring on Saturday, and I foresee myself utilizing a tutor up until I sit for the exam.

    My main goal is to create a support system of 7Sagers who are committed to following through with the exam and getting into Law School.

    I am taking four months off from work to study the LSAT full time (35-40hrs a week). With this amount of study time what is the best way to attack the practice tests? Should I burn 1 PT a day, 3 PT's a week or 1 PT a week?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Hey! Another 7Sager and I are starting an in-person study group that would meet in Berkeley, CA (on campus or elsewhere) to keep each other accountable, discuss strategies and problems, and such. Hoping to take the LSAT in August! Join us if you're motivated or need motivation :)

    I have been studying for the LSAT for a while now but have only taken 3 PTs so far. Is it normal for scores to fluctuate? I am planning to take the LSAT in August 2022, and I think I am going to start taking PTs three times/wk. My goal is to get a 165+!

    I get the questions correct under timed conditions, however, when I do blind review I change my answers from correct to incorrect.

    Hey everyone!

    Due to popular demand, I'm excited to announce that I'll be teaching a 10-week LSAT course starting June 1st!

    We'll meet once a week for an hour. In addition to the instruction given during class time, I'll also assign homework, drills, and a study plan designed to support the weekly lessons and solidify key concepts. This class is ideal for anyone who wants a bit more structure and accountability as they work their way to their goal score.

    The classes will convene every Wednesday via Zoom from 7pm-8pm EST. The first class will be held on June 1st, and will continue weekly until August 3rd. The class is limited to TWELVE students—first come, first served.

    To sign up, visit this link: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-live-class/

    If you have any questions about the course, feel free to post it down below. I'm looking forward to it!

    I am a freshmen in college who is on summer break. I plan on using 7 sage, the lsat trainer for RC, power core lsat logic games, and loophole for LR. I took the practice lsat through blueprint in April and scored a 130 lsat score. My goal is 171. What is some advice to make my goal be a reality. In addition I will be working full time towards the end of the summer.
