Given the rule, "If G and S are both in, then W is in," I understand the contrapositive is "If W is out, then G is out or S is out (since both G and S cannot be in). But why doesn't the contrapositive also allow for the possibility that G and S are BOTH out (as well as W being out)?

I was listening in on podcast #4 with LSATcantwin. Around 38 minutes in he mentions the thing for him at 18 was WoW, JY mentions Diablo 2. I put countless hours into Diablo 2, but I definitely don't see myself able to put in that time now. That doesn't mean I'm not hype for the remaster. Every now and then I'll play an hour or two of apex or warzone just to break from the routine.

What was a guilty pleasure for you (and maybe still is)?

Hi,

I've been trying really hard to understand Sufficient and necessary but for some reason always get stuck with diagramming when the usual indicators are not there. Can someone explain how to figure this out or recommend any resources please?

An example of the sentence I didn't get is “demands the memorization of unfamiliar commands” in PT 26.S3.Q21

Thanks!

Which school should I pick??

So I am studying the "Introduction to Logic" section. So when I'm at the exam, after I've gone through the steps to eventually know the relationship in the "sufficient condition➡️necessary condition" form, should I note this relationship with an arrow down on paper physically for further use or should I just remember it in mind?

hi - so I took the january lsat and my score was OK, but at the low end of my 10point spectrum. so I applied to my first choice regional school and just received their decision yesterday. I'm in, and have a 50% merit scholarship. I'm above their 75%s on lsat and gpa. BUT, I am trying to get as close to 100% merit, as I'm paying out of pocket (no govt loans). I've been planning to take the june test just to finish with a bigger score (even if I had gotten a 100% - - I really love this test). When I took the test in january I started to have covid symptoms the day before my test - - a headache that I couldn't get rid of for the actual test - - i ended up with worse mild symptoms a few days later. So, I think I can do better! I've been preptesting better at the least. Another thing is that I found out last weekend that I have to have surgery on my eyes, my vision has been blurry since mid-2020 and now I know why. That may have impacted my january performance, but the surgery might also interfere with june - although I think the recovery time is pretty quick. I'm even wondering if I might qualify for some sort of vision-based accommodation (long shot). Needing a surgery just adds a layer that interferes with the june test (and also why I can't do the april test, besides signups being closed)

Has anyone ever re-applied to a school that accepted them the next cycle? do you think the school will penalize me if I do this? I certainly don't want to seem ungrateful for the merit award they offered and I don't want them to hold that against me. I'm also not sure whether I should just pay the seat deposit, take the june test and then try to renegotiate a higher scholarship - although that would be early july and they may have given away all their money? Anyone ever done this? I hate to throw away 'good money' that I could use for textbooks/study aids later on. Thoughts?

I also don't plan to re-apply if my score isn't at least 4 points higher as it would be like resubmitting the same application and hoping for a different outcome. I only applied to this one school and if I do much better, I'm thinking of applying to a couple more, since I think I want to move somewhere new.

thanks everyone! I really appreciate any feedback

Covered the CC fully last month & got into PTs this month; considering that my exam target is April, I've only taken exams in the 70s and 80s series. I've noticed that I tend to miss a lot of LR questions despite feeling like my fundamentals are solid post the CC. There's been good improvement in RC and LG [-4 and -5 respectively, with the potential to go -2 if I cut out the silly mistakes] since I started, but I really need help with LR questions on the newer exams which are [IMO] tougher than the ones discussed in the CC.

Is there a method to foolproof LR and RC that would be conducive to improvement?

I do really detailed Blind Review and analysis/review (after checking the answer choices) of all the LR and RC questions (including watching the majority of JY's video explanations), but when I solve a new PT I find that my score isn't increasing and that it has plateaued? So, I am not quite sure if continuing to solve new PTs and comprehensively reviewing them afterwards is sufficient, or if taking more time to re-review some of the LR questions/RC passages that I've struggled with in the past would be helpful (even if that means not being able to take as many PTs)? (I'm currently taking 1 PT/week).

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi All!

I got a 163 on the LSAT in November 2020. I applied to schools but was not accepted where I wanted to go, so I am thinking of re-applying for the next year. I want to take the LSAT again in June.

Any tips for how I can raise my score until then? I'm reaching for a 168-170. Please help. Thank you.

it's a shot in the dark but are there any fellow Alaskans out there prepping/testing?

I started 145 and my goal was 155. I'm now PT'ing in the low 160's with skipping a full logic game due to time. I can do them, but I've not yet truly practiced LG yet. I wrote a little reflection on my progress and some kind of SWOT analysis and am curious if I am just absolutely crazy or not. This whole thing is crazy honestly. 150 was unattainable and was a struggle. Then I quit PT's and just worked fundamentals for two months and boom. I skipped the 150's and am now scoring in the low 160's.

If anyone who has experience with going through the 160's and into "that next level" is bored, I'd greatly appreciate your opinion. I just don't want to post it publicly. Thank you.

At my university a lot of the 3000 level courses are taught by PhD students and those classes happen to be the smallest and where I’ve been able to interact with the instructor the most. But I’m worried that because they are still in the process of completing a degree their letter of rec might be seen as a weakness in my application even it’s a positive recommendation. If anyone has any insight on this that would be really great!

It would be great to be able to replicate the actual test as much as possible

Hey guys,

One of the sections I struggle the most on is reading comprehension, and from what I read online, the best way to improve is to simply read more.

I am looking for sources of reading material that would strengthen my reading comprehension skills and expose me to the type of reading that I would be seeing in the LSAT. Some of the sources mentioned online were the economist, wall street journal, and published articles/papers from the top 3 law schools.

Any idea if reading material from these sources actually helps or if there are other useful sources out there?

Thank you!

I am already stressed about having professors write me LoR in the fall. My classes are small and my professors know me by my name, but I have never gone to a single office hour for any professor. Since everything is online, I would have to make a zoom appointment to meet with them in "office hour", there are no drop ins. I've always wanted to go to law school, so I'm a history major; how do I ask questions and form relationships with my professors when I don't want to go into the area of study that they are in? If I ask additional questions about the readings, additional materials, aren't they going to know I'm just BS-ing them?

Hi 7Sage,

I am proud to announce my free LR tutoring series!

You're probably asking, who the heck are you and what's with the this tutoring series ?. Let me preface this by saying I AM NOT AN EXPERT. However I recently scored a 168 on the January LSAT, and have been tutoring for a few months, and studying for over 18 months. I started at a 140 diagnostic, I went through Powerscore, The Loophole, The LSAT Trainer. Scrounged the internet for any advice I could find, spent hours on YouTube watching explanation videos only to end up watching "Funny Pet Videos". What I'm getting at is I had to fight my way to a 168. And throughout my journey, I developed a process that allowed me, and those I tutor to to tackle this blasted exam.

This is the main purpose for this series, the LSAT doesn't have to be as hard as it's made out to be, everyone learns differently so my goal is to bring a new perspective and clarity to anyone struggling to achieve their goal. Oh and did I mention it's free! Don't be shy, all skill ranges are welcome there is something for everyone in this series.

Based on my understanding, 7Sage's flex converter as well as that of other prep test companies are based on estimates of how they think tests have been scaled now that there are only three graded sections. When taking PTs is it better to just stick to the older scale (4 section scale) versus the new estimated conversions? I took the regular four section PT last week and then converted it using the 7Sage flex calculator. When I converted my score (using my best LR section), my score went up by three points. This is why I'm nervous about using the flex scale to grade my prep tests. Would greatly appreciate any input regarding how to grade PTs so that they best reflect your score. Thanks!

I need some advice. I have missed not one, but TWO informational webinars for the same school. I am incredibly embarrassed and don't know what to say. I don't have any good excuses for registering and not canceling. I just forgot about them.

I feel like if I send them an apology email at this point it is insulting and points to my irresponsible errors even more. I haven't applied yet, but I really like this school.

Do any of you know if these absences will reflect badly on my application once I apply this fall? Should I just toss out this school from my list? Am I being dramatic?

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I would really appreciate some advice!

With the digital format, what are your strategies for taking notes or highlighting for the RC section. I have been trying to write down the parts that I think are the main points or a word or two for support but it feels like I am wasting time and its taking too long. I'd like to hear other's strategies to try out.

Thank you 7Sage for providing great lessons, guidance, and practices but due to financial limitations, I will need to leave the 7Sage. If I become better financial then I may return but between the stress of funds and LSAT, I am going to step away for a while. I am still going to pursue my goal of becoming an attorney but this is just another TEMPORARY delay. Once again thank you! Good luck everyone.

I thought I had a good handle on quantifiers until now lol I can't understand how C and D in structure are different, so I was stuck between the two. Help would be appreciated on this question.

Thanks!

I just received my LSAT writing back, and it was approved. However, I spelled someone’s name incorrectly by accidentally swapping two letters. Is this not a big deal, or is it something that law schools will look at negatively? I hope it’s not a problem, as long as I wrote an otherwise cohesive essay.

Howdie! I am an LSAT enthusiast who improved my score by 19 points, and I will be hosting free office hours tonight at 6:00 PM EST. Come with questions and a positive attitude!
