Prep tests, problem sets, or the LSAT explanation page aren't working for me when I click on them. When I click on a prep test or a problem set, nothing opens or expands and I can't access any prep test or problem sets. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I've restarted my computer, cleared my cache and used different browsers but the problem still exists for me. I'm on Mac.

Hi Everyone! I am working through the last few sections of the LR part of the course and have struggled with the Parallel Method of Reasoning and Parallel Flaw Questions the most. I find that I take forever to read the AC and second-guess myself. I have gotten better at intuitively answering the other LR types now that I understand what the questions are asking (without Lawgic/diagramming... this is still difficult despite understanding the questions). Do I need to go back and study the Lawgic sections, or is there other approaches that might help?

Howdy everyone,

I'm taking in November and probably January. I have access to all LSAC released prep tests but they are in PDF format. I also like the prep test format on Khan Academy. That being said, a few questions...

I made myself a reminder sheet for each section with recommendations/strategies to avoid errors I've previously made. Every section I do, I assess why I made each error and what I should do to avoid it, and then I add this recommendation to my reminder sheet.

I thought you guys might benefit from seeing what a sample reminder sheet looks like, the tips here are specific to me and many methods might work for your own LG practice.

is the ND DKL essay essentially a diversity statement? I already have my diversity statement written and the prompt seems very similar.

Hello everyone,

I've been studying for the LSAT for a few months now and got to a 157 so far, but it seems like I can't score higher under timed condition. Usually I score a 165 without timing, so I know that I can do it. I thought that maybe I should switch things up and try a different study approach. Can you tell me how you approached studying for the LR and RC sections specifically? I'm hoping that using a different study method will help me.

Thanks for the #help!

Just finished my first LSAT take (August) and thought this would be a good time to give something back to the 7Sage community!

I've been studying for the LSAT for a year. I started with a diagnostic of 157 (although it wasn't a true diagnostic score as I'd done the Blueprint video course beforehand). I've gotten my PT score up to the 170s with my highest being 177, and a lot of that improvement was thanks to the 7sage question taking interface and explanation videos.

I also found a wonderful tutor @Christopherr through 7sage who helped me get from the low 160s to the 170s.

The most intimidating section for me was logic games. Although I got to a point where I understood the games and could do them without losing any points untimed, when it came to doing all 4 games under time, I felt hopeless.

Thanks to a combination of @Christopherr, 7sage, and analysing my own mistakes, I learned about several strategies that I could use to shave off time without losing out on accuracy and wanted to share them with anyone who might be interested.

This session is aimed at people who are familiar with all the game and question types and are now working on their speed. If you're a beginner you might benefit too as these tips could prevent you from forming some unhelpful habits.

We'll go through a sample game or two (I'll pick some from the pre-60s so as not to "spoil" any more recent ones) while I talk us through my approach, and you can ask any LG related questions that you have.

I originally planned to take my first test in june, but ended up postponing my exam to oct. Do I still get to use the first timer test taker only viewing/canceling the score at request- option?

I don't get how this is the right answer. I'm aware the color red usually means stop and the color yellow usually means yield but why should I need to assume outside information like that to get this answer correct?

How am I supposed to know this from just the stimulus. Am I missing something?

In need of a tutor more specifically for LR & RC. Please reach out to me if you excel at these portions of the exam and may be open to tutoring

Quick one - is Grammarly allowed during the writing section? Can't seem to find any prohibitions on LSACs site or any information on Google.

Does anyone know if taking the LSAT is better than getting the GRE for admissions and scholarships? Or does it not matter? If you are trying to go for PhD/JD is it better to just take the GRE and apply or should you also take the LSAT?

I think I'm stressing myself out too much about this tbh but need some opinions.

I started working at a law office mid june and its great experience but STRESSFUL. I'm planning on applying in late oct which would give me roughly 4 months with the office.... which is fine on a resume as a recent grad but.... would it be great on a recommendation? moreover would it look BAD to not have a recommendation? would it be something to write in the addendum... on I didn't ask because I'd only been there four months?

I'm also planning on getting a LOR from the head of my program and a research advisor - but I think im stressing out too much about having my boss write me one. I know I could get three strong letters of recommendations from professors/research advisors/various university people...

Let me know if you have an opinion please!!

I'm considering re-doing RC passages plus questions to increase pattern recognition and to review any questions that got past me.

Have you done this and found it helpful?

What’s up fam - it’s your boi lsat_sus.

I hope the Aug flex folks practice some self-empathy if you didn’t feel too hot on your exam. “Just keep swimming” as the great blue aquatic specimen so graciously stated.

I just took PT 86 and did “not bad,” and after thorough review I think I got the underlying logical reasoning structure for the second LR section. I’d love to discuss it with y’all this Saturday night at 7:30pm** CST.

The plan is to do the entire section together and explain what I extrapolated from those questions that I hope will be applicable to future LR questions.

Much thanks,

Does anyone have an individual that they would recommend for the purposes of aiding the application process? I honestly never thought about looking into such a service, but after hearing about an experience my friend had with one, it seems very, very worthwhile. Having some experienced eyes look through my application sounds quite ideal. Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello Everyone,

I understand that the new LSAT is only scoring three sections with the 4th section being experimental. My question is, lets say I receive two RC sections, would that mean that one RC section is experimental or could both RC sections be scored and either a LG or LR is experimental? Thank you!

Im currently enrolled in school for this fall as it is my last semester before graduation (december 2021) I'm planning on taking the LSAT in January 2022, would I still be able to get into law school in the fall of 2022?

I don't understand how E is the right answer over D. I eliminated the answer choice E because she claimed to be an insurance adjuster and didn't provide proof. How is claiming to be anything providing enough proof of being a government official? If the answer choice said the insurance adjuster provided some kind of proof I would have opted for it but ended up picking D because the government official provided proof, and I don't consider being evasive necessarily lying.

Hey all -

Took the june flex and got a 169 - I'm trying to get into legal academia (PhD in history) so i can only apply top tier essentially, which I'm seeing a 169 does not cut it for. For those who took the test a second time and improved 3-4 points, do you have any tips to make studying more effective? I was PT'ing between 172-178 before the test - the last month before scores declined due to nerves/burnout. Not sure how to avoid this with re-test, and REALLY don't want to devote my life to this cursed test again for nothing. Any help very much appreciated

Hey yall! So my testing experience went so bad to the point that I cried when testing was done. I filed my complaint and luckily they offered me a retest next week. Anything I should be concerned about for next week's test?

I've been out of school for a few years but my resume is...supbar to say the least and I haven't had it properly looked at in years aside from the occasional employer. I just don't have anything remarkable to put down regarding my college years and none of my jobs were in the field of law. I also don't plan on applying to more than 6-7 schools (all T-14) so would the full-on admissions consulting be worth it in my case? It's horrifically expensive and I didn't foresee such a cost. I understand that securing scholarships can amount to getting tens of thousands of dollars but there's obviously no guarantee and if you don't have this kind of money, it won't appear just because you've got the need. Before I even attempt to shell out this amount of cash, I want to know if there are other options. All I know for certain is that I won't be able to do all this alone. I've shown my personal statements to my professors before (4 in total) and aside from correcting negligible grammatical mistakes, they've left them pretty much intact and so I'm left feeling lost because I know for certain that they were not even close to being ready. And even worse, I've made a significant change in why I want to pursue law and so all those old personal statements (or what was left of them) are rendered null and void.

I still haven't even taken the LSAT exam yet, but I'm really feeling the heat given how close the Fall 2022 admissions cycle is to beginning. I'm at a loss as to how to even approach fixing my resume, let alone the "optional" diversity statement.

My first LG was about security guards (brutal). My second involved camps. I hope the first was was experimental. If anyone has any insight please lmk.
