Hey everyone, my life has taken a turn recently. And at this moment I don't have the time to keep studying. That being said I plan to attack the LSAT again later in life when things cool down and I have the time to give it the attention is deserves. Thus, for now I don't want to continue paying $90 dollars a month for 7 sage, if i cancel but come back again later will 7 sage still recognize what I have covered, and where I am in the syllabus ? I don't want to lose my progress !!!

Anyone have experience with this ?

Thanks !

Why is option E wrong? I know why the correct answer is D. However, I feel like if i did not read D first, I might have picked E. I feel like E draws the connection between new technology and an increase in productivity.

I thought the only reason it could be wrong is because it leaves out "notably" in discussing productivity increases. So, the new technology could be impacting the increases in productivity, not just notably. However, I then looked at option D (the correct one) and it does not mention notably.

help why is B wrong. I know why the correct answer is C. But, I read all the explanations for why D is wrong but I have a defense for all of them. The stimulus mentions that the cortex is slow to develop continuing right into adolescence. So, this means it will develop at some point during adolescence. Hence, only adults and adolescents can have these skills.

Someone mentioned, how about animals? I assume that animals can be adolescent and adults

Another explanation mentioned that adults is out of scope? Because the stimulus states “right into adolescence” one can reasonably infer that post adolescence, the cortex is developed. HELP!

Someone else mentioned how there could be some kids who are exceptions. However, that does not really work because the stimulus mentions that the cortex continues to develop into adolescence. So, doesn't this eliminate exceptional kids who develop theirs earlier

I've done everything I know to do, reviewed as many of these questions as I possibly can, but something in my brain just has a difficult time with these questions. I can usually take a Logical Reasoning section and miss anywhere from zero to two total, but something about these question types just gets me every time. If I miss something, it's bound to be one of these types. It seems that I just can't figure out what the answer choices are saying. I always narrow it down to two choices and pick the wrong one.

Is there anybody who has a secret way to solve these? Are there any unique approaches? Any tricks? I'm at my wits end. Simply redoing questions hasn't helped me. I need to break through somehow, but sometimes wonder if it's even possible.

Hi all !

I am looking for a study buddy (don't want to suffer by myself...lol) for the February LSAT. I am scoring mid-high 140s and would at least like to get to mid 150s by February. I work full time Monday - Friday but am available to study 6pm - 9pm (Eastern Standard Time) and I'm free all day on Saturday/Sunday.

Hello 7Sagers! I am a 33yo F healthcare professional (consultant) looking for a career change. I started preparing for the LSAT over winter break (I'm in a Masters program right now) and am looking to network with fellow working professionals who might be in a similar situation. Any interest in forming a study group/communication channel? I am planning to take the LSAT between Aug 2021-Jan 2022 (depending on practice test scores at that time) and I got a 162 on my most recent timed 5-section practice test (via Khan). I'm based in Chicago, CST.

Does anyone have any experience with updating applications (final transcript and job updates)?

Is it as simple as sending an email to admissions offices? I can’t find much info on the process.

Thanks in advance!

When its referred in RC to a certain part of the passage should you always return to it and read the line they indicate?

When law schools evaluate geographic diversity, do we know if it's based on your undergrad institution or where you are a permanent resident now? (3 yrs out of undergrad)

Trying to determine if being a permanent resident of KS vs CO is helpful to my app. (went to school in KS)

I understand the correct answer. However, it has not clicked why option A is wrong. Doesn't the argument presume that the components for the architectural style also have the same qualities. My reason is because, it conclusion is drawn form elements of both qualities, and concludes that those elements basically have the qualities of the style as a whole (beautiful and dramatic).

Hi everyone!

I am a single mom studying for the LSAT and I currently cannot afford to pay for professional revisions or help with my personal statement.

Is anyone willing to take a look at it and provide some feedback?

Anything helps! Thanks!

is there a specific strategy on how to map LR questions when taking flex?

I seem to always get confused when I mark it up at random.

Hello Sagers,

I am currently going -7/8 on LR and I wanted to know how long it took y’all to get to -2/3? And if you have any tips on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

I understand there was a pending case against LSAC to have the logic games removed and that the LSAT-flex currently consists of 3 as opposed to original 4 sections. Is the LSAT-flex representative of the test we should expect to see the future or merely an accommodative form given our current environment (covid)?

I do have an active Ultimate+ membership. I have reached out to 7sage, but I just want to ask and see if maybe anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I've never had to link a PrepPlus account (additional cost) to watch any video explanations before; my Ultimate+ always worked fine. I am mainly looking at logic games, which are supposedly all accessible w this membership.

So previously I've used the same picture of myself that looks the same as I do most of the time, with no facial hair. However, since this is my third and last LSAT I'm taking (January 2021), I decided to grow a playoffs beard exactly one month before the test date. I can't find an option to upload a new pic, so I was wondering if anyone knew if LSAC would be fun haters like they usually are and decide that I don't look enough like the picture/that the pic isn't recent enough. I'm prepared to shave it if I have to but now I like the beard and would rather not. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

Will law schools care if I take the Jan LSAT and apply in October. Would it look like I was trying to avoid the longer LSAT and would that look bad?

Hi All! I have seen a lot of people post seeking advice on their personal situations with the LSAT (to which many 7Sagers have provided great responses) and I have recently found myself in a bit of a pickle that leaves me wanting to do the same. This month marks a full year of me studying for the LSAT. I have increased my score from the high 140s to the high 150s (last three tests were each a 157) and my ultimately goal was to break into the 160s and ideally to have a 165+ score as my GPA isn't the greatest and I am really concerned about receiving money from the schools that I apply to. I recently had an unfortunate family situation that cropped up leading me to change my originally scheduled Jan test to April and am now facing some familial pressure and personal doubt about that decision. I worry that since I have already put a full year into this and have yet to break 160, am I just kidding myself in believing that I can do this by April? I already decided to extend my gap years and work full time so it doesn't really impact my application cycle to take the test in April as opposed to January, but I do still have a chance to sign up for the Feb administration. Should I just bite the bullet and take it asap as I feel like I'm losing the will to keep going or should I keep trying to break 160? I'm just feeling burned out and in self doubt at the moment and any advice from people that know what it's like to dedicate time to studying for this test like you guys is appreciated! (I also work full time by the way and unfortunately am not in a financial position to quit my job).

What school(s) can one get in with a 149/150 score?

I am a bit confused with PT2.S4.Q14. This was the logic I worked out for each of the answers:

A) This would support the argument, as it would show that there is a causation between the change in definition to only including heart attacks and strokes

B)the cities financial properties are irrelevant to the argument

C)"Expert opinion" is not relevant in this argument

D) Other cities opinions are not relevant in this argument

E) Last year's count does not necessarily reflect the count of this year. it's possible that this year the count was lower

The correct answer was E. I understand that both A and E aren't perfect solutions (otherwise this would be a sufficient assumption), but i do not understand why E is a stronger choice than A. Thoughts?

I have always been an awful test taker, regardless of the subject or however knowledgeful I am in those topics. I would rather speak in front of the class then take a test. With this test it has only increased my anxiety levels, has anyone or does anyone have any tips to combat this feeling. I feel that it is truly hurting my score and in thinking that i need a certain score to get into the my school of choosing is further amplifying that. Please help, I am taking the LSAT in 2 weeks, which is not helping :(!!!!!

So right now I'm averaging around 17 (-8/-9) per LR section. I always BR at -2/-3 and when I look back a majority of my errors are STUPID. For example, one time I read an SA stimulus as an NA so obviously got that one wrong.

I was wondering if anyone has advice to maximize an LR score at this stage in my practice? I need to be at 20+ for the flex (in 2 weeks.) Right now I'm planning to do a flex test a day in the 80s and drilling LR questions from the 70's - as I have heard they are tougher.

I know it's entirely doable for me since the core understanding is there, I am just experiencing superficial problems that likely have a lot to do with: skipping strategy, translating stimulus' (I always only get problems wrong when I don't understand the argument, rarely for lack of reasoning), AND TIMING!!

I'm sure many have been in my boat before, I would love to chat with anyone who has advice or who is writing in January and has the same problem! These points are the difference between the 150s and 160s for me, so I'm desperate!

Hi all. Hope y'all are well.

Like a spectacular idiot, I underreported my GPA on the resume I submitted to law schools.

Not by much, just 0.05

I know they will see my real GPA on my transcripts, and I assume they will consider that number over the one I misreported.

Any chance I need to do something like email them a corrected version of my resume with my real GPA or am I being neurotic?

Thanks buds!

Help! The explanation mentions that option D is the correct answer. I get that, however, I don't understand how the answer helps the colonials assert their power. In showing a play that depicts friendship, how does that help them assert power?

Took the LSAT in October, and got a 149. My average practice test was a 151. During my first test, it was a very time consuming part of the year for my job. Recently joined 7 sage, and looking to improve a few points for the January LSAT.

Yes I should have started studying a year ago. Curious to what ideas are out there to achieve this bump in a few weeks. Not looking for a quick fix, but just the best way to pepare with the time left.

Appreciate the advice in advance!
