If the people who record the videos for 7sage can read this...omg please speak slower and not so close to the microphone lol! It's like you combine one word and make it into three because you want to get the questions over with. And saying "this is a really easy game...".........yes, it is easy for you because you are teaching it...we are learning it so it may not be easy for some yet.

Maybe it's just me who feels this way...but whew.

I'm signed up for the November LSAT. I'm scoring 155-159 on them. I have an internship that starts on January 6th so I cannot take the January LSAT because I will be busy. If I choose to take the January one, then I'll have to cancel my internship but that means I'll get a better score. Or, I'll have to push myself until test day and keep the internship. I am so nervous I won't get a good score though. Can someone please offer some advice?

My title says it all, but does anyone have insight if withdrawing a LSAT registration count towards the 3-limit in a testing year? I have taken the LSAT twice and prefer more time to hit my target score instead of rushing to take it a third time.

The official website says, "withdrawing your registration will prevent an absentee notation from appearing on your LSAC file, but you will not receive a refund."

Other LSAT prep services have mentioned no adverse effects if one withdraws.

If anyone could help clear this up, it would be appreciated.

Hello all! Was the June 2021 LSAT part of the previous testing cycle or the current one? I took the June 2021, October 2021, and will be taking November 2021. In case I need to take the January 2022, my eligibility will hinge on whether or not June 2021 counts towards this or previous year’s testing cycle (given the 3 times per cycle testing limit). I’d appreciate any insights!

Hello! I am in need of some advice. I have taken the LSAT twice and most recently got a 159 on the October LSAT. While this is not the score I wanted, it is the score that has been officially sent to schools which I applied to in early October. I have a 3.8 GPA so I am split for several schools.

Does it make sense to leave my applications as is with the 159 on file or do I retake the January 2022 LSAT and ask for admissions to wait and review my application then?

(Unfortunately I am unable to take the Nov. LSAT as the test dates interfere with a prior personal commitment so I either keep my 159 or wait until January 2022). Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all! I am going through it right now trying to figure out what would be best thing to do so any advice would be welcome. I took the October LSAT and did not do as well as I had hoped. My GPA is better than the median for all of the schools that I am looking at but my LSAT score is about 4-5 points away from the median LSAT score. I am signed up for the November LSAT but I'm not sure if I can raise my score up to the 4-5 point mark... Would it be better to push it back to January and apply later or take my chances on the November LSAT and hope for the best. This would also be the 3rd LSAT I am taking. Good luck to everyone also taking the November LSAT!

What is a more difficult feat. Obviously some are more intuitive at RC than others, but for the average student who has difficulty lets say -8 LR and -8 RC.

I just couldn't anticipate the flaws with either of these questions and would like to know how people who got these correct went about doing them. My pre-phase going into the answer choices was that there wasn't a perfect correlation in the premises and so the author is incorrectly concluding that therefore there was no causal relationship. Is this the correct pre-phase? Is there a better one?

I tend to mouth the words as I read, especially RC passages. I don't make any sound but it helps a lot. Would this be a problem on test day?

I am confused. The LSAC.org says that "The test will have three scored sections — one section each of Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning — and we will return to our pre-COVID practice of including a fourth, unscored variable section that will allow us to validate new test questions for future use and ensure that they are free from any form of bias. But I read other forms and they said there are 5 sections as 2 LR, 1 LG, 1 RC and 1 unscored section. So are there 4 or 5 sections totally?

Hi everyone. I will take the LSAT on Nov 12th. I have started to prepare in August. In this short time, I finished a book and watched 7Sage videos. I did 2 PTs and got 145. I have only 10 days from now to improve my score to 153 and I need your advice. Do you think it is possible? Thank you and good luck!

So I have a quick question about whether I should include a letter of recommendation written by an employee of my cousin's law firm. This employee is an attorney and I have worked with him for a few years as a paralegal. We get along well and they taught me a lot.

Obviously I won't have my cousin write the letter, but what do you think about including a letter of recommendation from the employee? I told the employee that they were free to write whatever they wanted and that I had waived my right to see the letter. The letter would be on company letterhead, which has my cousin's last name (also my last name). How would admissions officers look at this? Should I explicitly disclose that it is a family business on my resume and personal statement, or is it obvious since we share a name? I want to be transparent as possible but I'm not sure how to approach this.

I have two other letters written by professors. I was thinking of including this one as a third letter, since I have been out of school for 5+ years.

I applied to UVA less than a month ago and just got a waitlist email. I'm a splitter 172 LSAT/3.68 UGPA.

I read on Spivey that UVA interviews most applicants but I didn't get one.

Not freaking out about it but curious as to why this came so early. Anyone else get a UVA waitlist? Or a waitlist at a school super fast?

Some schools allow you to submit up to 4 LOR, but is that too many?

I need some advice !

does anyone have the setup to this game?

Hi all!

Drilling logic games prior to the Nov flex test and would love to add a few more to my memorization rotation. Here are the ones I've recently slipped up on that I've been drilling:

PT 75, S4, G4

PT 80, S3, G3

PT 80, S4, G4

PT 90, S3, G3

PT 90, S3, G4

Any other suggestions (especially GrpMisc and Misc games) would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all! I've taken the LSAT three times so far-- September 2020, Jan 2021, and October 2021 (After a 6 month brain break.) I've consistently seen improvement in my scores and for both the Jan and October tests I was consistently scoring between 171 and 174 on recent prep tests under exact LSAT flex conditions, and yet I scored a 166 and 167 respectively on the actual day of the test.

Anyone else struggle with something similar, and have any suggestions on ways to prep differently in the two weeks leading up to the November test? I think the Logic Games messed me up in the October test because that was the one section I studied less of this round because last year it was always the easiest section for me, so I'm refreshing my knowledge and re-memorizing hard LGs now.

Apologies if this has been asked before, any eta on when 91+ and 92+ will be available to review or score on 7sage? Just finished 91+ & plan to do 92+ before November as these are the most recent tests avaliable.

I'm guessing LSAC hasn't released a curve so it would be kinda hard to score it. Anyone remember Powerscore's prediction or have a prediction for the curve? I breezed through the LG & LR for 91+ but that RC was one of the hardest I've had. Usually average -2/3 but got -5 on this RC. The taxidermy and Patent protection passages were brutal.

Just looking for general thoughts on 91+ and if anyone wanted to discuss/compare?

Does anybody know what LG this is:

It's a grouping game with the two groups being junior and senior high. And it had sub categories had to do with French, German, and Russian.

Thanks!!

Heya, I'm having some trouble with three RC questions from 91+ (9 on the first passage, and 21 and 22 on the third passage). Does anyone have any thoughts on why

For 9 and 22, I was attracted to answer choices C.

Thank you :-)

Ok so I'm planning on applying to schools this cycle with the LSAT I have on file from October, however I am also retaking in January. If I get accepted to a law school, and then my January Lsat comes back, can I leverage the hopefully higher LSAT score for scholarship money even though I would already be admitted?

I worked really hard to perfect LG and I thought that I had arrived when I had a few weeks when my LG performance dropped to -0 or, at worst, -1. When that happened, I kept practising and did not become complacent. I knew not to always expect -0.

But what I didn’t expect was to almost forget how to do the games. I started going -4, -5; and that week’s PT was -10.

I don’t know what to do. Is this kind of regression normal? Am I overthinking things?

Hi all,

In an effort to keep myself accountable, I am going to share some concepts that I was initially unfamiliar with onto this forum. The purpose of this is to not only make sure that I am not merely spewing out memorized facts, but also to help others who are unfamiliar with Economics. If there are any errors, please let me know. If you don't find this helpful, feel free to not read.

Inflation

Inflation is the economic concept of prices constantly going up. An example of this is how in the movie Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy is known as one of the richest men in Britain even though his income was only $10,000 in 1813. Inflation highlights the question: Why are prices going up?

Why does Inflation happen?

Inflation happens as a result of at least one of the following concepts.

Cost-push inflation is when businesses have a greater increase in costs incurred, and therefore as a result need to push some of these costs onto customers in order to keep their businesses surviving. These increased costs can be incurred as a result of workers demanding more pay, raw material prices (such as oil) going up, etc.

2.Demand-Pull Inflation

An easier way of remembering demand-pull inflation is recognizing that it is when "there are too many dollars, and too few goods". Basically, it is when consumers have much money and are all chasing after goods that cannot keep up with the demand. Higher prices are the result of the demand being too high.

3.Printing Money

Governments want to see their economy doing well, and to do this, they may print more money and have an increased circulation of money going around. However, with the increase of money circulation, the value per note becomes less. Instead of this allowing consumers to buy more items, this just causes prices for individual items to go way up (for example, one set of bananas may have costed $2 before the circulation of money, but now $5 because the value of the dollar decreased as more notes were produced). The Window of Opportunity is the point of time where while more money is circulating, prices are still low since it takes time for the value of money to decrease.

Interesting fact about the Window of Opportunity:

How can governments cause inflation (prices going up)?

Governments can cause inflation by decreasing taxes, thereby allowing people to have more disposable income to spend. With this disposable income, in the longer term, increased demand causes increases in prices.

NOTE: If I got anything wrong here or if in anyone has anything they wanna add to help others, please comment.

I don't plan on submitting supplementary "Why X" essays with my apps, so I'm wondering how much I should even talk about the school I'm applying to in my personal statement? atm I have a sentence basically ending with "combined with a legal education from X", but that's the furthest I'm going rn.

I fear of coming off as pseudo-researched by just sprinkling little details about faculty and specific programs that are easily accessible off their websites- is this concern ill-founded? And if not, should I even include the sentence I quoted above, or will that just come off as lazy copy+paste work?
