Hi Everyone! I am looking for a study buddy in the LA area. Basically need accountability buddy while teaching and learning from each other. I work full time and available evenings and anytime during the weekend (bc LSAT is my life LOL). Anyways, I am also open to joining any study groups, please help ya girl out.

Hey all. I am having trouble writing this one out. Initially, I wanted to use subscripts and fit the entities in with conditional logic chains, but I quickly got lost in determining young and old. I did some form of relative positioning using greater than, less than symbols ((,)) but this is still giving me a problem.

1) All tulip trees are older than any maples

T > M

2) A majority, but not all, of the garden's sycamores are older than any of it's maples. I wanted to diagram this like a bi conditional relationship. Is this wrong?

Most S > M

Some S ( M

(strong)3) All the garden's maples are older than any of it's dogwoods

M > D

Connecting (1) and (3)

T > M > D

Infer

T>D

Connecting (1) and (2)

T > M > Most S

T > M ( Some S

(em)Infer

T > Most S

T(---Some---) S

If I am understanding this correctly from the relationship between T, M,and D, Tulip trees comprise of the majority of the oldest trees. I kept this in mind as a reference. My problem came with translations back into english. I don't get how you can determine any of the relationships given in the answer choices, other than having worked out the stimulus in formal logic and then comparing each choice in formal logic. Even then, how do you determine old or young when you translate back into english?

I'm at a loss for this one

Hello! I'm currently looking for a study buddy mostly for accountability purposes but also to go over some key concepts. My scores range between the mid 150s/ low 160s but my goal is 170. Hoping to be ready for the exam by summer. Please message me if you're interested!

It has been such a great journey!

I can't believe I made such a huge jump!

Thank you to everyone!

Hello,

I am looking to start or join a study group.

The highest score I have received on the LSAT was a 167. I have scored 165 multiple times and my most recent LSAT scores have been varied from 160 to 164. I want to score in the 170s. I have taken approximately 80 LSAT Preptests. I only have 10 more. I took these tests in numerical order but also decided to take LSAT 89 and 88 because of their difficulty in order to prepare me for the November/January LSAT. It did not work.

Let me know if you have a study group that I can join or would like to start one. I would prefer the study group to be composed of two to three people.

I took a major dip from my last 5 PTs and overall PT average when I wrote in January (166). I've decided to retake. I feel like my fundamentals are solid (usually BR 178 or higher), but my strategy could definitely use some tweaking.

I'm a perfectionist. I've heard repeatedly that the best way to tackle LR and RC is by skipping questions and coming back to them. For whatever reason, I just can't seem to trust this strategy under timed conditions. I usually finish both sections with a minute or two left on PTs, but on test day I seem to second guess myself far more and my focus tends to break more easily (which is another issue altogether).

How do you know when to skip a question in LR and RC? How do you train yourself to feel confident in doing so?

I'm taking the LSAT this month (Feb 2021) and was wondering if I should do anything before the test to prepare for the essay (I haven't done any essay prep yet). Advice would be very much appreciated!

hey guys I wanted to know some opinions on how long it takes to fully master logic games? and also some suggestions on how to master it. Taking April LSAT. Thanks :)

How to change the timer on the prep test for my accommodations

Looking for an affordable LR tutor on East Coast, maybe another person who's studying but excels in this section

In need of a study partner to help keep each other motivated. I’m planning on taking the LSAT in the summer and I’m currently scoring in the 150’s aiming for 160+. Feel free to message me if you’re interested!

I didn't use 7sage prior but have heard great things so I finally decided to take the plunge. I have great foundation but I really need to hone in my skills and timing stratagies. What's the best way to use this resource?

What has been your most useful, in summary, tactic in improving your points in RC? I seem to be doing the standard "summarize each paragraph" as I go but maybe it is just me but it is not clicking. I feel like there is more science to it than just summarizing as you read the entire passage.

Anyone else?

Hello good people... I'm going to try something different this time. I've set up a coupon code on my booking portal that I'll keep open for a limited time today, and cut it off when I reach capacity. It'll be one time use and allow you to book a "standard session" free of charge. It'll be 1 hour... I usually go longer for tutoring sessions but for these we'll try to keep it at an hour to fit more people in.

Hopefully this will allow better access than my usual last minute offerings...

...which I'm also doing again as well. If you are free between now and 8 pm EST and would like to talk LSAT or throw some questions around, let's hit it! If this is up, I'm still open.

Code is: removed

Edit: Done for now so I can control volume. Will likely open back up later. Appointment for today is still open!

Hi all, I got a weird letter from Stanford just now, wondering if anyone else got this letter and how they're feeling about it. I applied to 16 law schools in early November, Stanford was not one of them. With a 163 LSAT and a 3.72 GPA I thought that it would be a long shot and a waste of money. Then today I get a form letter from them encouraging me to apply because they want to increase diversity (I am a gay lady). They told me how to apply for a fee waiver from LSAC but did not actually give me a fee waiver. With the deadline a week a way, this late in the application cycle, and with no actual fee waiver, this seems to me like an attempt for them to just collect more application fees. The fact that they are sending these letters to "diverse" prospective students seems especially fucked up to me. Anyone else get this letter and feel weird about it? If Stanford really wanted a diverse class why didn't they send me this letter right after my LSAT? Or why didn't get give me a fee waiver? Seems like a money making attempt masked as a diversity campaign. Thoughts?

Share your thoughts!

Anybody know if this site has prep tests, and corresponding solutions to the tests? I am not sure how to navigate the PrepTests under "Resources". it does not really seem to have the questions, but rather a way to estimate the grade when we enter our answers. Does 7sage have lsat questions anywhere?

help would there be a circular reasoning flaw if a stimulus presents 2 premises, 1 that repeats the conclusion, and another that does not repeat the premise but has a separate flaw.

hi all!

I'm getting back on the grind after my January 2021 attempt (I'm aiming to book for early summer maybe june/july). Anyways, my last PT was a 160 before I sat for the January exam and I was heavily using the recent PTs closer to my test date for obvious reasons.

I was wondering how everyone utilizes the different LSAT eras in their studying (ie 1-20, 30s/40s, 50s/60s, 70s/80s)? I have heard of many people using PTs 1-20 solely for drilling, but was thinking of starting there and doing (roughly) one PT a day. I thought this would be a good place to start to get consistent with RC & games, and then got thinking that it wouldn't hurt to dip my toes into LR as well.

I'd love to hear how others are utilizing the different PT eras for studying + what you found worked best for you - just trying to take a different approach this time around in the hopes of seeing some major improvement before the summer.

thanks & happy studying! 🤍

I have been getting LITERALLY every question in EVERY category wrong for the past 3 days. I know I have been busy and very tired from work (firefighter/paramedic). But I'm really starting to feel like I'm wasting my time. Any advice?

Hi all- I was wondering if you had advice on these two question types.

I don't always get stumped with these, but when I do get questions wrong they tend to be one or the other. I get thrown off with the language when I'm down to 2 answer choices.

What has helped you all in tackling these particular questions?

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have any idea when LSAC Is going post test dates past the April test? I’m trying to gauge my study time in conjunction with the upcoming application season.

I see the dates up until April.... but please tell me they're still going to administer after April?!

Got caught between AC-A, D, E. Totally ruling out AC-B - why might those have been incorrect?

Stimulus (paraphrased)

Pamela: physicians in training work long, up to 36 hours, shifts and that fatigue impairs their ability to make the best medical decisions during final portions of their shift.

Quincy: Thousands of physicians have gone through this regiment with records to show that the system works. So why change now?

Though I realize I need to work in the stimulus to pick my answers, as someone who has worked shifts before, I know that your relief does not generally show up generously early. So if these physicians work up to 36 hours, they are in the long haul and that fatigue can be a very real risk to decision making towards the end.

Anyways, with everything in mind above, I was left with AC B vs C.

I picked AC C because of my influence from experience...hear me out: emergency-room patients needing continuity of physician care over the critical period after admission, generally 24 hours, would seem as though at any given crucial moment, the expectation would that a physician is able to make the best medical decisions. In the event where there is not a generous overlap between turnovers from one shift to the next, that leaves patients in critical conditions reliant on potentially fatigued physicians that are towards the end of their 36 hour shift. That is why I thought, this would be enough to counter Quincy's argument. Yes, the physicians do need to better working conditions to minimize fatigue that could impair medical decisions.

Meanwhile, AC B has me understanding it as there will be more seriously ill patients during their stay at the hospital than before. I felt like I had to draw an inference on this one. While not everyone in an emergency room may not be in a life threatening state, I guess AC B paints a better picture with more people requiring more attention and the need for best medical decisions??

Please help
