Hello, I am a reapplicant this coming cycle and I am wondering if it is recommended to submit both a reapplicant addendum and a Why X essay or to combine them? Any advice would be strongly appreciated!
Hey everyone!
I've been studying logical reasoning for about 3-4 months now and been putting all my energy into it,
I noticed that I am repeatedly scoring around 18-19 questions correct out of one LR section that is typically 24 questions.
WHen I go back to review the questions I am getting consistently incorrect, it usually is flaw in the reasoning questions
the other questions i get wrong are usually because of a silly Mistake like leaving out an important part of the stimulus and not understanding what the stimulus is saying
What are some tips for me that can help me score atleast a 20 on the LR section!?
Thank you!
Hi everyone! I took the June LSAT and did not sign up for score review, because I was confident that I was going to score well. My PTs had all been in the high 150s going into the test so I was not too worried. Sadly, I got my score back today and I scored a 148. Since I did not cancel this score will this hurt me when it's time to submit applications?
Anyone live in Miami/ Kendall area looking to meet up twice a week to go over PTs? I'm scoring upper 150s to low 160 looking to score 172 in October!
I'm looking to get into one of the Boston law schools (preferably BU, BC, or Northeastern). Had a 3.668 undergraduate GPA at a NESCAC.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Ideally looking to start law school in the Fall of 2023 or 2024.
he!
I was just wondering which T14-T20 law schools ask for why statements. I have seen them come up on many podcasts and blogs about law school applications, yet most schools I've looked at don't seem to require or even offer any essays other than personal statements, diversity statements, addendum.
Hi everyone!
I took the June test and it was exactly my average from PTs (166)
My goal score is a 170
I am registered for the Aug. test but don't know how to move forward with studying from now until then and am also running low on materials.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Could anyone share what the difference is between Inference question type and MBT question type on 7sage?
And can anyone share in regards to whether doing these questions might help in solving the inference question types on RC?
Thank you.
Are you a 7Sage user looking for people to study with? Wish there was an easy way to get paired up?
You're in luck! Join us for our first-ever "Study Group Breakout" on July 11th from 9:00-10:30pm ET.

Unsure why E is correct. I chose B initially, then once I did BR I chose D. Please help!
I don't understand why C is correct. Initially I chose D then in BR I chose E. Please help!
Can anyone explain to me why C is incorrect and D is the right answer choice?

Sharing my story as encouragement, as many others encouraged me when I read their words. I'm happy to share my news with this wonderful community.
I got rejected to the Dallas law school I hoped to attend this fall. I was disappointed, but for many reasons I applied very late (extra late - don't be me) in the cycle and received my rejection a few weeks ago. I was sad to be rejected in Dallas, but not too bothered. I planned to take the test again this summer, and apply next cycle. Or the next.
I'm a nontraditional student. I'm a former DC federal legislation and regulations lobbyist, 44 years old, and married with a very little girl. My husband is being transferred to another city, so we are moving in a few weeks.
There is a law school in the new city. LAST WEEK I responded to a generic email I got from that law school. I told them a little about me, said I was moving to the city, and asked for more information. I shared my 158 LSAT score, and that I plan to retake the test.
In fact, that 158 was such a disappointment to me! I genuinely enjoy the LSAT. I've had so much fun practicing for it, learning it, getting better at it. But during real time on test day, between my ADHD, high anxiety and weird hour long proctor problems, I scored 5 points lower than my practice tests! I did not think I'd be able to get in to a school with this score.
And yet...FIVE minutes after I hit send on that email to that law school, the assistant dean of admissions called me. She encouraged me to apply, even as I asked some very skeptical questions. It turns out that my 158 was competitive there, especially with my background. So, with her encouragement, I took a chance and submitted my application. This was LAST WEDNESDAY. She called me back before noon the next day. She informed me that the school received my application overnight, as it happened, in time for the admissions board meeting which was being held that very morning. They threw my application in with the rest, and the admissions board approved me! I was admitted to law school less than 12 hours after submitting a resume, as late as late can possibly be in the cycle. I will be sitting in a law school class starting August 22.
I've never heard of an admissions story like this before. As a person of faith, I believe this has happened for a reason. My prayers are prayers of gratitude. I also know that it would not have happened at all, if it had not been for committing myself to improvement on this exam, and seeking out the resources, support, and amazing community of 7Sage. Very unexpectedly, I'll now be a 1L in a class in Tulsa by August. Thanks to JY, my 7Sage study buddies, and the nonstop encouragement of our broader community here. Thanks to you all, and to everyone else - Keep at it! We will all absolutely get there.

After reviewing this question, I am able to see why the right answer is correct. I just am not sure why AC C is incorrect.
He clearly states "Hooray for common sense" which appears to me as a way for him to undermine the administration's study (which I considered as his opponent) and basically say that it lacks common sense #help
Does anyone know if it is at all possible to take the LSAT on paper? Or is it all online now?
Anyone from India taking the LSAT? Lets form a study group?
Why is Answer choice D correct and Answer choice A is not?
Does anyone know how to interpret the green bar chart over the correct answer in the analytics tab? Does this simply mean that "x"% of students get this question right who are scoring in your score range? Or does it mean that the percent of people getting that question correct achieve the score above each answer choice?
I'm a little confused by this and would love some clarification if people have any!
I see a lot of groups form here with lots of people and undoubtedly a lot of noise. Personally, I wouldn't gain from entering a sea of people making noise on a discord group.
I'd like to form a small group of people ((10) that can support each other to develop our skills and study efficiently. I want to keep the bar high for the group, so you should have scored a 155+ on your diagnostic to qualify, or are PT-ing at 165+. Does anyone want to participate?(/p)
If I understand correctly, there is no clock displayed during the LSAT, so timing yourself is more difficult. I know that per the LSAT website (https://www.lsac.org/lsat/frequently-asked-questions-about-lsat), you can have a wrist watch on, though it cannot have a timer/stop watch function/alarm function.
Has anyone found it beneficial to time themself on the LSAT with a wrist watch or something?
Just broke 170 on a PT (174 BR), with -0 in LR and RC. -10 or something in LG.
I very consistently get to the last game with about 5 minutes remaining, which just isn't enough.
I think I lose a lot of time on must be true/must be false questions where the answer isn't immediately obvious just by looking, bc I have to go through each answer, making inferences based on its condition, eliminating it, and repeating the process with the next one.
Question explanations aren't very helpful because, given enough time, I can get the correct answer to basically any LG question--the issue is just timing.
I feel like there's either some technique or strategy I'm missing, or I just need to practice lots more and build up an intuition that will help me move through them quickly?
I'd love to hear input from people in a similar boat as me: high diagnostic test (-2 and -3 on RC/LR) with bombed LG, then rapid improvement on LG but still struggling with time. Does it get better?
Why is the answer E. and not D?

Open Office Hours, so bring your questions! We can talk LR, LG, RC, writing, admissions, law school, or whatever else y'all want to talk about. It's entirely up to you. Bring LSAT questions about fundamentals, time management strategy, general theory, procedure and execution, study strategies and diagnostics. Ask about law school admissions. Ask about 1L doctrinals, law school exam strategies, or writing legal research papers. I'm always happy to talk about my research which is primarily concerned with bird law, over-criminalization, housing and education policy, and law and social movements. The point is, whatever you want to ask about, ask about it! Feel free to ask ahead of time in this thread or through DM. Of course, you can always just ask live too. Lurkers are welcome if you don't feel like talking, but participation is always encouraged.
See y'all Thursday!

A bit about who I am: To learn about my personal journey with the LSAT, you can check out 7Sage Podcast Number 1 for my discussion with JY: https://classic.7sage.com/1-ama-w-7sager-cant-get-right-152-to-176/ As the first ever 7Sage podcast, it's an oldie but, I like to think, a goodie. From a relatively low diagnostic, I improved about 50 percentiles to score a 176 on my official LSAT in Sept 2017. I attended Northwestern Law School and graduated with honors this spring. I've tutored the LSAT since 2016 and was a 7Sage Approved Tutor during the earlier version of tutoring on 7Sage. I have taught hundreds of students from all over the world and have sent them all across the T-14 and to target schools all over the US, Canada, and Australia. Post graduation, I have decided to do what I love which, for reasons I can't fully explain, is teaching the LSAT. In addition to tutoring, I am also President and Executive Director of Legal Education Access Plus, a non-profit committed to making legal education accessible to everyone. I've also amassed more 7Sage karma than any other 7Sage member, so you can check out my comments on threads from over the years which address just about any LSAT topic you might could think of.
