Hi! I have an early decision deadline coming up pretty soon and am trying to get as much feedback on my personal statement as possible. Would love to help out anyone who would also like feedback on their PS! Message me and we can swap! :)

I thought on the LSAT, it was one cause per effect, not multiple causes per effect. Why is the correct answer acceptable in this instance? Shouldn't bulging disks be the ONLY cause of pain and not one of multiple potential factors? And I'm also confused by the use of the term "sufficient." Is this "sufficient" as in the causal sufficient (enough to cause pain) or the conditional sufficient or both?

Bulging disks---> pain

Does anyone know on which date we will be able to schedule the date and time of our November LSAT on proctoru? I don't see the date anywhere on LSAC.

Does anybody think its not necessary to add in an experimental section? In my opinion i just don't see it working well for me. Not knowing which one is experimental seems to be the worst factor which is eliminated when you add in your own. On top of that i warm up a good bit before a PT, which rules out fatigue. And honestly i don't think i can be worried about fatigue when i study for 5-8 hours on average. Thoughts?

Some schools note at least 2 recommendation letters, with max of 3 or 4, and I was wondering how many are you guys submitting?

Hey everyone!

I recently took the October LSAT after PT’ing almost entirely 170+ over the last two months (with BR scores in the high 170s/180). I feel pretty confident about the Oct. LSAT, but had some technical errors and am currently studying for the November LSAT as a back-up.

For the next several weeks leading up to the test, I am offering FREE “semi-tutoring” to a few students who are also preparing for the November (and possibly January) LSAT. I am probably going to be most helpful to those who have finished the CC and are taking one or more practice tests a week, and to those who would like someone to go over exams/certain questions with after the Blind Review process. I have completed between 15-20 PT’s (excluding the CC of course), and I’m planning to take 1-2 PT’s per week in the weeks leading up to the Nov. LSAT.

Quick Disclaimer: I am not in any way a professional/experienced tutor, nor am I claiming to have mastered the LSAT in any capacity. I’m performing well under timed conditions, with near perfect BR scores, and I am hoping that tutoring/reviewing with other students will be beneficial to my own progress - essentially to help close my gap between the low-mid 170s and mid-high 170s. I am also interested in potentially tutoring post Nov. LSAT and honestly would like to see if I am any good at it!

Feel free to add me as a study buddy in order to view my analytics. To offer a bit more detail, LG is typically -0, while LR and RC are usually a bit more volatile depending on the section (but you can view those on my analytics page as well)!

If you think you’d benefit from a session or two a week going over PT’s and/or timed sections, please send me a direct message with a quick summary including: your next LSAT registration, your PT averages/section breakdowns, and a quick synopsis of your strengths/weaknesses on sections and PT's overall - AND please add me under 7sage study buddies (so I can also view your stats to see if we’d make a good pairing)!

Good luck to everyone who just took October LSAT and to those studying for the upcoming test next month!

Can anyone explain why A is correct and D isn't? It seems they are expressing the same thing (even though I know that can't be true)

Hello!

I've just about exhausted most LG sections and figured I could benefit from teaching LG as I'm approaching the Nov Test (I also took the Oct Test).

A little about me:

I go 0/-1 on most LG sections with 7+minutes to spare for most sections. I have a slight background in formal/deductive logic which I think helps a lot when it comes to inferences and conditionals.

I think I can be of most help to those wanting to get faster, and learning how to better diagram/make inferences!

I'm wanting to hopefully tutor after the Nov Test, and would love to get as much experience as possible as knowing how to do X is very different from teaching X.

Shoot me a message if this is something you would be interested in :)

Best of luck studying!

I did a 2 year long research study in undergrad with a highly profound professor and her PhD student. I worked very closely with the PhD student and I know he would have a lot of good things to say about me in a letter of rec. The professor oversaw my work but didn't work as closely with me, however she has a lot of notoriety in her field. I'm not sure if she would write as good of a letter as the PhD student but she has a ton of experience and success.

I have 2 questions:

Is it acceptable to get 2 letters of rec from the same research project? (I can ask other professors as well but I know my research professor and her PhD student the best)

If I only use 1 letter of rec from this project, which one should I go with?

Hello Everyone,

I didn't see any study group discussions for the March 2022 LSAT on the discussion board... so here we are!

Would love to get the conversation started on creating a group message and a weekly cadence for online meetings!

Looking forward to hearing from others in the 7sage community :)

Why is A the answer and not E?

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q#(P#) - [brief description]"

Hello,

I am applying this cycle and recently graduated with two degrees: a B.A. in Human Rights and a B.S. in Biological Sciences. I ended up completing the requirements over the summer for my B.S. degree and the date on that diploma is technically August 2021.

LSAC is currently only listing the BA on my Academic Summary Report and declining to list my B.S. in Biological Sciences, which is far more rigorous and explains my lower GPA (3.69), because it was not my first bachelor's degree earned.

I am wondering if I should write an addendum talking about my STEM degree because I am concerned that it will be overlooked in my application, since it is not listed on the academic summary report (only my transcripts).

Does anyone have advice for this situation?

I wanted to pick everyone's brain about whether or not this would be a good idea.

I am considering asking a former employee of mine that I hired, trained, and supervised for over 2 years for a letter of recommendation. Assume that this individual has the potential to write a solid letter, free of errors in syntax, grammar and spelling. I no longer work with them, and am not connected to them in any way shape or form other than my previous experience as their boss.

I have of course seen countless mentions of getting LORs from former professors, and employers. I have never heard anyone mention getting an LOR from a former employee. I am in a situation where asking for a letter from a former professor is pretty much out of the question. I graduated 6 years ago, and never had the same professor for more than one class. I worked in the day, and went to school at night, had mostly adjunct professors, and really didn't get to know any of them (law school was not in my plans back then). I am sure I'll be able to get a letter or two from former supervisors without any problems. I can also get a letter from a coworker who is a practicing attorney.

The way I see it, a former employee (who has no reason to make me look good) would be able to provide insight into certain aspects of my abilities that my former bosses would not have seen. They could presumably talk about (among other things) my leadership skills, my understanding of complex policy, and my ability to relate said policy to them in a way that was easily digestible.

So what does everyone think? Is it a good idea to ask a former employee for an LOR? Why or why not?

This forum is for opinions that are not mainstream regarding studying the LSAT! This forum is not meant to criticize or complain about the LSAT. Instead, it is intended for people to share unique studying tips, original thoughts regarding the LSAT structure and talk about how the LSAT studying process is a different journey for everyone but with surprising similarities! I would love to hear from everyone! I will get us started below with a couple of opinions that may spark some curiosity.

I came across a few courses and online schools that offer knowledge for a low price. Do you recommend I try something like that?

Im flipping tf out rn after doing test 86 rc. My test is next month and im just completely over it especially since that section was trash. Im trying to manage my test anixety but nothing is working.

Guys, if I can do it, you can do it too.

I started studying for the LSAT in January of 2021 with Khan Academy. After months and months of practice tests and hours of studying (around 5 a day) I took the test in April and got a 149. I had kept PT'ing in that range during my studying so I had expected it. I kept thinking either I am extremely dumb or something just isn't clicking... So I changed up my routine and paid for 7Sage. I began studying in the early morning 4 hours before work and taking the time after work to relax. I put a cap on how long I should study each day. I finished the core curriculum a few weeks ago and my first PT was a 155. I couldn't believe my eyes. Flash forward to now and I am PT'ing in the 170's. I just wanted to post this because I know how exhausting and disheartening this process can be. YOU CAN DO IT.

Hi 7Sage Community!

My question is, how many questions can you get wrong in order to get a 160? LSAT's grading sort of confuses me with some tests needing more points and others needing less points to get a 160. I do not know if in the more new LSATs it is harder to get a 160.

So I have been studying for awhile and I am hitting around a 154. RC is my worst, averaging -11 (slow reader). In LG and LR, I am averaging around a -7 on both. I have only taken 4 practice tests so far. My goal score is a 160.

Thanks 7Ssage community!

Can someone explain to me why Answer choice A is the correct answer for PT 84 Game 4 Question 22 and Answer choice C is the correct answer for PT 84 Game 4 Question 23? Thank you.

Is the LSAT above too late to take if I wanted to try to get in for the Fall of 2022? I just got promoted to a paralegal at a family law firm and have re-directed a lot of the already limited time I have available to effectively study applicable law for my job rather than the November LSAT I am registered for currently.

I really want to request a date change because of how stretched thin I am studying for both things.

Can I postpone my November LSAT to January 2022 and still have a chance of getting into school???

Any insight or advice would be super appreciated thank you!

Helpppp

Has anyone had to file a formal complaint with LSAC about tech issues/wanting to retake? I filed yesterday and I’m wondering how long until I hear back…the retest is less than a week away so I need to know soon…
