Curious what y'all think of the following - below was my translation of a Powerscore logical reasoning quiz, and then what they had listed...

The strike will end only if management concedes a pay raise.

Only if, necessary

The strike will end: /S

Management concedes a pay raise: McPR

/S-->McPR

/McPR-->S

If management does not concede a payraise, then the strike will continue.

Powerscore says:

SE = strike will end; MCPR management concedes a pay raise

SE-->MCPR

(if the strike ends, then management conceded a pay raise)

/MCPR-->/SE

(If management does not conced a pay raise, then the strike will end.

I guess what I'm wondering is how many of you would consider SE to be strike will end vs hstrike will end being equated to /S

I have 3 years of post-college work experience at a law-related nonprofit, a 3.81 undergrad LSAC GPA, & a 170 LSAT. Georgetown is my top choice and they'll take ED apps until March 1st, but I would prefer not to ED unless it's my only realistic shot of getting in at this point in the cycle. I'm above their medians but this cycle is very competitive and I'm already late in the game, applying against the deadline. Would ED'ing be basically my only realistic shot at getting in at Georgetown at this point? Appreciate any insight. Thanks!

I’ve been posting on here about how badly I want to go to BC since before I even applied. Just wanted to let everyone know I got in today!!! Thanks for all the support

Like title suggests. I'm currently thinking about rescheduling my Feb to April. Would like the opportunity to retake in June, but am unsure if it will be the same 3-section format FLEX. The powerscore podcast suggested that it will still be flex, but I am unsure whether the entire format will remain unchanged. Would love anyone's thoughts!

After a 10 (and a bit) month long journey full of stress, I can proudly say that I’m done with this test forever!! And I very much have 7Sage to thank. This platform is absolutely phenomenal for all test takers, and was an enormous!! help to me in my studying. I have this site to thank in part for this final score. :)

If anyone has any questions about studying advice please do not hesitate to ask. And best of luck to everyone looking to write again!! And thank you again to 7Sage :)

Can my recommenders see my full LSAC profile? LSAT, GPA, etc.??

I don't think I can attach an image here but something changed when I go to where I take problem sets, the buttons and stuff no longer take up the full width of my browser and for some reason have been squeezed into a small vertical area, the same when I take sections, the actual screen with the questions is really small. How do I fix this?

It is the same with other browsers that I have tried.

The deadline to postpone my February lsat is in a few days. I’m partially worried that I devoted too much time to RC and LR that I let my LG slip (previously a consistently -0 section). Now I score around -0 to -2 typically but have had some awful ones up to -6.

Is two weeks too short to bring my LG back up to -0 when I had been there before? I truly don’t want to postpone this exam for a second time (been pushing off since November lol & already have talked to work about taking off). I also have to extend my 7sage if I postpone til April as it will have been over a year. Am I just a bit burned out causing me to have lower LG sometimes? Part of it just seems to be that I have lower confidence in LG than I used to & so I waste more time than I used to which has lead to missing points/timing issues. I’m also not sure if my potential burnout would get any better if I study past a year for this exam, not sure if anyone has any thoughts on that.

Even with this sometimes lower LG, I’ve had some PTs turn out (a recent 175 with -2LG & a 178 with -0LG) but also some max lows for me (a recent 169). For context, I scored a 170 on my October exam which was lower than my average but I had a shitty test experience with noise & WiFi. My average over all PTs in the past year is 172.x, range 168-178.

Was torn between AC-C and E. Having difficulty seeing the difference as such.

I cant even comprehend why AC-B is correct. The stim mentions nothing about medical reimbursment policy nor seriously ill patients

On a side note: I've caught that sometimes the most abstract of ACs seem to be the correct choice for these and other LR. Again purely anecdotal but wondering if others have seen the same/any tips as such

I'm so excited to be submitting my applications! I have a question about CAS and my law school reports.

I paid for CAS and have had everything on file for months now. I just sent my first application, and it says the law school will request the report when they receive my application.

Currently, I can't see my CAS law school report, do I have to wait until the school requests it? Curious as to what my new LSAC GPA is.

Any insight would be helpful!

Hi 7Sage Community,

My name is Aine- I began studying last October but more seriously in Nov. (My diagnostic was a 149 and right now I'm at 157).

I'd love to begin studying with one or two fellow test takers who are in a similar scoring range (likely with similar scoring goals) and who are looking to take April-later exams.

Feel free to give me a shout on here and we can see about setting up a weekly day/time to connect up!

Thank you! And happy studying to everyone!

I am applied for Fall 2021 JD program at my home city University. I took the the January LSAT-Flex for the first time. I know completing the LSAT this late put me a greater risk compared to early applicants (For my school). Especially since January is the cut-off month for LSAT scores. However, I was highly motivated to give it my best shot with a 3.5 month study period. Leading up to the last two weeks before the exam I was finally making break-throughs averaging between 150-155 on my practice tests and rising. The last week before I took the exam I was in ultra-drive mode, caffeine, late night hours, the whole shazam (looking back, this was overkill). I was really aiming to overcome the 160 curve to balance out my application.

Today I received my Flex scores. Without going into too much detail about how it went on test day the straight forward answer is: I completely BOMBED it and I mean completely. I landed in the 130s (lower than my diagnostic test). I am still putting together the pieces of what happened. But for the most part my mind wasn't there on test day. Test anxiety took over and I consciously was out of my body. It was a terrifying feeling. I felt like Goliath getting slain by David. It was tough.

Since it was my first LSAT ever. The LSAC allows first-time test takers to preview and cancel their scores after release date. This option is available for me. However, this test will be my only score on file. Should I cancel my low score and accept defeat for getting in this year? I know the University I am applied to has a holistic admissions process and will look at the whole package. But landing in the 130s... this seems way out of the scope to even think I have a chance.

Thank you for taking the time to read my experience. Any opinion on this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone. I applied to law schools and realized I needed to also submit an addendum. Anyone have any suggestions how to email the school and ask to add the attached file to my application file?

To be honest, I was fearing the worst for this test. I made some bad, stupid tactical errors and really had to grind it out. Sightly disappointed in that, but happy with my recovery. It goes to show that the work you guys are putting in over the months can save you from disaster on test day. Wish I had at least hit my average but relieved to have a viable score to apply with. Quick stats below but more to come...

Thanks to @"Cant Get Right" who taught me the value of deep review, @Mike_Ross who helped me develop those mechanical question type strategies early on, and the man @"J.Y. Ping" whose voice even my kid recognizes now. Also all the great people here I've been able to work with... too many to mention, and I'd probably forget someone so you know who you are. You all were essential in getting here.

Hi y'all,

Got my Jan Flex score back and it's bad news. I went down to a 163 after having scored a 168 on the July 2020 Flex, and consistently PT'ing in the 170s prior to the January Test.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of drop before? I have literally never PT'd that low in my life, so I'm really struggling with how to approach studying for the upcoming test, as I want to retake to get in to the 170s. What strategies would you recommend going forward?

My diagnostic was below a140, my RC was a nightmare but I did it. And you can do it. Don’t give up. Take a failure as an opportunity to get better and stronger.

Bye,7sage community.

Hi everyone!

I have my LSAT Flex in 2 weeks, and I have taken lots of practice tests. My last two scores have been a 170 and a 169, in that order. With that said, my 169 was because I missed 8 questions all from reading comp, which rarely happens for me. Anyone have any tips on how to get myself ready from here on out to get a 170+? I plan to take only two more practice tests because I do not want to stress myself out much before the test. Thanks :)

I am planning on taking the June and August 2021 tests. I am assuming the June test will be a Flex, although I am not so sure about August. I live in California and some colleges have already announced fully online classes for Fall 2021. Should I be taking 3 section timed practice tests to simulate flex conditions, or 5-section tests just in case? Only asking bc for Flex, LR isn't weighted as heavily, neither is stamina, so the way I will focus my studying will be different. What are you guys doing for those who are applying for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle?

How are you feeling? How are you doing? How is your heart? How is your mind? How is your body? How is your soul? How is your spirit?

I know that studying and practicing for the LSAT can be stressful and time consuming. One of the things that I have grown to cherish and value is self care and checking in with myself multiple times a day. I have been stopping, pausing and slowish down in between study times to just be still.

Wanted to encourage you all to take some today to reflect, process, and respond to the questions above however you like. Whether through journaling, singing, rapping, painting, silence etc. Care for yourself, your body, your mind, your heart, soul and spirit. Please do not let this time of studying consume you to the point of neglecting your self and soul care.

Would to hear how you are caring for your being today. Praying for us to successfully get through this process (smiley face).

Take care!

Grace A.

Thank you 7sage and JY.

You have changed my life.

My first attempt in trying to study by myself was a utter failure. I studied for over 2 months and took the November test. I received a 146.

Then I decided to spend that extra money and invest in a teacher. My only regret is not doing it sooner. I went from a 146 to a 155 in just less than 2 months.

JY, thank you.

You really do change lives with your teachings.

I looked for a way out in my darkness for a really long time. My only way through was LSAT. It was my chance to escape. I wish I could go in more detail but I'll keep it short.

JY, LSAT, Law school, my life is about to change.

I usually don't write anything like this on a public forum but I needed closure.

Goodbye LSAT. It has been the hardest thing I ever had to do. It was a self-battle all the way. I cried and cried and cried.

I told myself I could do it and I did.

I wasn't aiming for the sky but a 155 still seemed so impossible.

This was all I needed and now I have it.

I will forever be grateful. I couldn't be happier.

If you're reading this and you feel like shit. You can do it. If I can, anyone can.

Goodbye 7sage and to the best teacher I ever had.

Having some difficulty comprehending in lawgic terms the argument flaw. Can anyone help clarify?

This morning I've been seeing a lot of disappointment posts- a lot more than usual after scores are released. In any case, I just wanted to make a brief post that will hopefully expedite the grieving process and get you back on the horse ASAP. Also, full disclosure, I also received an official score that was significantly lower than my avg PT back in October, so I can fully relate.

First and foremost I want to preface this just by saying that everyone studying for this test and grappling with the mentally taxing beast that is the LSAT deserves recognition, so give yourself a round of applause. Most of us out here do not fall into the rare group of people that have a natural (or nurtured) aptitude for this test and as a result have to work hard to get our scores up (not to say the others don't, it's all relative). In any case, seeing a lower score after all that hard work can feel, as many have put it today, "devastating". But as they say in theatre "the show must go on" (in case you are wondering, no, i'm not a theatre person). Keep in mind that a lot of (dare I say most) of the 7sage success stories did not get their amazing scores on their first attempt and would not have gotten them had they given up after a disappointing score- food for thought.

Now, for those struggling with motivation or questioning whether law is no longer the right path (solely because of an LSAT score that does not reflect the hard work they've put in) do yourselves a favor: take at least a couple days off and pick up the book "Can't hurt me" by David Goggins. This book was recommended to me by someone who helped me, and boy did it light the fire under my ass.

Lastly, I know this test has the ability to consume your entire life (been there). So please, take care of your health, go outside for walks or runs, hit the gym, get your skin some sunlight and make sure you do non-LSAT related things.

Yes, this test is important, but it is just that, a test.

Good luck!

Hello guys,

I tried calling, emailing and now writing in the discussion to get a response to my subscription issue and haven’t heard back from 7sage staff in a few days. I renewed my subscription 1/29 and the new one was supposed to start 2/1 but hasn’t been working and still no response to my calls/emails from 7sage. I hope they see this I have the invoice number and all.

Thanks

My study schedule wants me to basically go through all of the Logical Reasoning sections before I even look at logic games and reading comp... However, I average -4 on a full section and am getting nailed by logic games. My reading comps Im getting 6/7 wrong and I haven't even started that portion of my syllabus. Should I continue to do Logical Reasoning, or go into logic games and get better at that bc I heard its where people make up most of their points.
