Hi all, does anyone know how the refund option works? I'm taking the Jan test and am also thinking about registering for the Feb test in case I don't feel good about my score after taking the Jan test. Do you know how much I would get refunded for if I withdraw before the deadline?

How can I tell what type of fire "maintenance burns" is referring to?

Happy New Years to everyone! I realize that I haven't created a discussion post for awhile and rather than hold a webinar ( as I know alot of people are very busy with the holidays just winding up) I decided to create a Reading Comprehension post focusing on one aspect of Reading Comp, which people can use at their own pace/time.

My LSAT journey has been a long one but I have found that my biggest improvement in RC came as a result of three major things:

Changing how I read the passages/Approach to the section

Changing how I reviewed, I found reviewing consistently with a small group to be most beneficial for me, as well as establishing a wrong answer journal and a better BR template

And finally, the topic of this discussion post, which is changing how I approach the questions.

Rather than just provide you blanket advice, I took a RC section (PT 58) and wrote out a Google Doc which, while it does provide you general tips, shows you how to confidently and efficiently tackle each question and tries to put you in the mindset of what a high scorer is thinking as they approach the questions rather than just tell you why answer choice B is right and answer choice E is wrong.

For maximum benefit I recommend taking PT 58 as a prep test first, or at least the RC section. After you have completed the section BR your usual way. Then, take a look at the Google Doc to compare your approach. For reference, on this particular RC section I scored -1 timed and -0 on BR. This is my "average" RC score ( which can range from -0 to -4) depending on how the section balances out in difficulty in comparison to the other sections.

Here is a link to the Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E0LP49UXvYYm-nPNx8x9qk0KxdQ-9pCp1kfSshB8RBM/edit?usp=sharing

I'm looking for a video about using the framework. I can't seem to find it, can someone point me in the right direction? I've already looked at the Causation/Correlation videos. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Now that it is 2 weeks officially until the 2021 LSAT, I was wondering if anyone knows when we are able to select our time slot and how we go about doing that ie. what website?

Also what website do we go to, to access the Flex on the day of? Do they send you an email with instructions prior to it?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to 7Sage and have previously been studying with The LSAT Trainer. While the LSAT trainer is fantastic, my logic games still need work!

Do you all have any tips for blind review of logic games? I have jumped right into the Logic Games section of the 7Sage syllabus, however, I made sure to watch J.Y's explanation of blind review. I understand how blind review may be applied to logical reasoning, but is there anything in particular you all do when blind reviewing logic games?

So far I have been making sure to think about my reasoning/process for each question during blind review. Any extra ideas to practice during blind review of logic games would be appreciated!

Hey 7sagers,

I will be reapplying to law school this year. I like my previous personal statement, however, there are some changes I will be making.

Admissions counselors recommend not submitting the same exact personal statement twice and I will not be doing that, but i am wondering how much one is expected to change their personal statement when reapplying? Also, any recommendations of editing services?

Thank you!

I will give a gist about myself and hopefully you might find me a beneficial study partner.

I am a non traditional applicant (8 years out) and I have taken the exam 2x with my last score at 150. I am PTing in the mid 150s and looking to get somewhere in the 160s . Would like to have a study partner who can commit to 2x week (once during the weekday and 1 weekend day). Preferably someone who is Pting 155 or higher looking to get 160+. My strength is LG than LR than RC. I am ok with zoom or FT.

Hi! I wanted to see if anyone wanted to create a group chat on WhatsApp or GroupMe or something to just keep each other accountable/talk about our studying? I am planning on taking in August or September and have only done light studying in the past, but now am getting more intense in my studying. My diagnostic was in the 150s and my goal score is in the mid to high 160s if that puts into perspective my goals, but I think it would be even neater to have this chat have people with diverse goals and scoring.

Either message me or reply to this forum and we can work out a way to create a chat!

(EDIT: A GroupMe has been formed! I've been DMing the link to everyone saying they want to join, if i missed you or if you would like to join as well here it is: https://groupme.com/join_group/65087898/UQixp43e)

Sometimes I hit 170/173/174, other times I hit 164-167. Would like to stabilize this and improve my scores so that they're consistently 170+ (preferably 172 or 173+). Looking for a study buddy who is in a similar situation!

Will somebody tell me how long they spend on each set of problem sets with five questions? I go through them once as fast as i can. Relax for a couple minutes, then dive into a deep analysis of the entire problem starting with the stimulus. I then write down why each problem is either right, or wrong, and determine the correct answer in this manner. Then i watch the explanation videos for the ones i got wrong, and the ones i had initial trouble on the first time through. This tends to take me anywhere from 20-45 minutes for each problem set, depending on its difficulty.

Does anybody else utilize this method?

I am looking for a tutor to help me with logic games and the rest of the sections on the LSAT (LR and RC). The tutor that I have now is not responsive at all and I am looking for a tutor to help me. I am starting from scratch as if I do not know anything about the lsat. I am hoping to take the April lsats. Therefore I am looking for a tutor who is available twice a week until the April test date.

Hello everyone,

I have been a 7sage member for a while but haven't even gone through the CC. I am a full time Electrical Engineering student and have a few jobs on campus, so I usually would be so overloaded with work that I keep pushing studying for the LSAT. Though now I am pretty much free with winter break, and my upcoming semester is very light as I am done with all my engineering courses.

I have been having a real hard time the last 2 weeks sticking to studying. I attend a pretty tough college so studying a minimum of 6 hours a day up to 14 hours is not strange to me and I have the stamina for it but focusing on the LSAT has been a struggle.

Anyone have any advice on how to become consistent, and stick to it? Anything you did to hold yourself accountable?

I feel odd asking as I know its a "motivation" thing. But I really am in for the hours to study, though every time I plan a study session I either just get distracted with random things or something gets in the way.

Thank youu in advance

Hi everyone,

I am now on the last stretch of my studying as I will be writing the LSAT for the last time in January. As I am doing the older prep test I am struggling with the RC passage and being able to adequately highlight key sections. On my November LSAT I wasted a lot of time highlighting key words or MPs and I am trying to find ways to still do that just like JY without spending too much time. Any recommendations on how to get through passages quickly and efficiently would be super appreciated.

Many of you like myself spend today reflecting on what a year it has been and look forward for what's to come in the following year. As I sat down and thought about my journey thus far with the LSAT and what is to come, I felt compelled to share words of encouragement with this wonderful community.

I started this journey more than a year ago now and with wishful thinking that I could study for 3 months and put it behind me. Once I realized that it wasn't that simple for me, I had to readjust and become comfortable with delaying not one but now two application cycles. I share this for those who feel immense pressure to stay on a directed path and deadline. If you have the opportunity to forgo an application, do not fear delaying, do not fear time. Seriously, don't let the fear of how long it could take to achieve your goal stand in the way of getting there. Remember that it isn't the destination but your growth in the journey. "Never give up on your dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it, the time will pass anyway" - Earl Nightingale

One of the worst mistake I made in the beginning was putting myself down and questioning whether I was even "smart enough" to make it. Don't sabotage yourself by adopting negative attitudes about your intelligence or abilities to reach your target LSAT score. The pursuit of creating success should be you taking care of yourself first which means not putting yourself down. Success happens when you show up powerful and through believing yourself. "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts" - Marcus Aurelius

Failure. There is no such thing with the LSAT, it took me quite some time to understand this. I thought my diagnostic of a 147 was a failure, that getting an entire problem set wrong was a failure, that not seeing improvement meant I was failing. All of these aren't failures. I started to think of each question as a rung on a ladder; you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how many steps you've climbed. Every missed question is just an opportunity to get better, be persistent in your mindset and keep trudging through until you achieve results. I'm a huge sports fan, so I'll use this analogy for anyone out there who may be able to relate. When you drop a basketball it bounces. Every time you let it bounce without touching it, it becomes lower until it settles on the ground. If you keep dribbling, it will keep bouncing. You have to keep dribbling, you have to keep bouncing back despite how many times the test tries to make you settle. Even if you don’t yet know how you will resolve the task, keep bouncing. "No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself" - Seneca

Be ready to face any challenge and overcome it. Be hungry for success. Keep going no matter what.

Remember, "Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor" - Alexis Carrel

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Best of luck :)

Hi all,

Tomorrow is the last day to reschedule the Jan LSAT for free. I'm consistently (almost maddeningly so) getting 172s on my latest PTs. Before that I was getting 171s consistently so there's progress but its very slow. Maybe if I reschedule to Feb, I can get into inch up to a 173-174 but I might not. I'm fairly comfortable with my chances at getting into the schools I want to if I get a 172, but a higher score would be nice too.

To help with my decision, could anyone give me the lowdown on the relationship between LSAT and scholarships at T14 schools? Are certain scholarships (like the Toll at UPenn) where everyone can apply heavily dependent on LSAT and GPA or is the review process holistic?

The school I'm applying to gave a lot of full tuition offers last year– about 20% of matriculants got full tuition or more. I'm above the 75th lsat and above median gpa (but below 75th), but it's January, so idk if I'd be able to get one. Since it's January, is it too late?

I thought I had mastered LSAT Games until I started doing the newer PTs.

Games after 60 are killer. My fundamentals are strong and there are some odd sections where I get decimated.

Mostly its stupid mistakes, sometimes they're tough questions I wouldn't have time to tackle properly or do not know how to approach well (like rule substitution).

I'm writing this month. I've been studying for 6 months, focused on LR mostly and tackled LG about 2 months ago. I haven't been able to get -0 or -1 consistently, I'm lucky if I get away with -2, but I'm usually at -3 or -4. - and never any extra time to spare... I have no idea how people work that fast.

I'm beginning to doubt myself. Is this considered good? or am I doing average?

is anyone else applying to american schools as an international student? when filling out my LSAC applications there's a section for international students that has questions about visas. i obviously dont have one yet, so do i leave that section blank or do i fill out the visa that i WILL be applying for if accepted (student visa)?

Do I need Prepplus if my account predates prepplus itself?

Is there a place where I can find samples of strong LSAT writing essays? I'm just starting to prepare and samples would be really helpful in learning more about the structure, expected analysis, etc. Thanks!

Is there anyway to drill/input answers for analytics for the leftover section if I took a PT in the flex format? I can't seem to take the last section unless I print it out and just do it by hand.

I was wondering if anyone had any insight or recommendation on whether or not to simulate the LSAT-flex (taking 3 sections as opposed to 4).

I was thinking that if I were to not simulate it, I could get more LR practice in but at the same time, I'm pretty sure if you take both then both factor into the score and that would artificially inflate my score given that I'm much better at LR than LG.

Any thoughts?
