Hi! I am essentially finished with CC and wondering what PT's I should start with and then end with prior to the August exam? I know the more recent PT are more similar to the current tests but a bit different from the CC. If you have prior experience or any advice I would love to hear it! I would aim on taking two or three PT's a week.

My june test session is on hold for a review. Is there such a hold on file due to score jump between 2 tests. I called LSAC today and they said they have never seen such hold.

I know we’ll be getting an email on July 29th telling us that we can sign up for a time slot, but what time does that email typically go out? Also, would I be able to sign up for a time slot on an iPhone? Thanks!

Has anyone heard any information about how the June LSAT might be curved? Also is there a different curve for every variation of the test, or one general curve for the June LSAT as one thing? Just getting nervous for Wednesday 9 AM now... (:

Hi everyone,

I am planning to take the August LSAT and I am having a hard time improving my LR and RC sections. On my past two practice tests I've scored a 161 with BR scores of 170 and 172 (My target score is 166+).

For LR, I've realized that my biggest barrier is time and not skipping questions I find difficult right away. So, I plan on taking timed LR sections this week to address that.

But, for RC, I really do not know how to improve my score. What strategies have worked for you? Do you reccomend getting a tutor at this stage? Should I just do tons of RC passages?

Hi everyone! I am just looking to get some advice...

I live in Austin (TX resident) and am applying to law school in the Fall 2021 cycle. I really want to go to UT Austin but I am a splitter and curious if anyone has insight. I know UT Austin's L50 for LSAT has risen to 168 and I am pretty far off). Here's my background:

BS in Biomedical Engineering - GPA: 3.843 (2019)

MS in Biomedical Engineering - GPA: 3.833 (2020)

LSAT: 160 (I've taken twice and I think my second time score was worse, so going with my first score)

I've worked in medical device industry for 3+ years, in R&D (as an engineer) and now full time in Regulatory Affairs (legal function) in medical devices.

Interested in IP and Patent law with my engineering background and have worked in biotech/life science for a long time.

Thoughts on applying ED? Will this greater my chances of acceptance? Is this school too high a reach for someone with my LSAT score?

Realistically, I don't think I'll be able to re-take the LSAT for a third time (August) and boost it up to anywhere near the median. I know some people have suggested I take a third time, aiming closer to 163 (L25 is 164). I know myself and working full-time still, studying this summer and writing my personal statement (and getting ready for application cycle), I just don't see myself committing the entirety of my free time to re-studying a third time..

Does anyone have any stamina / focusing tips? Is it just practice?

...be sure to take into account upcoming medians, not last year's posted numbers.

With June score release a few days away, a lot of you will soon be agonizing over whether your score is "good enough" for applications in September, or a retake is warranted. Just a quick reminder that you are heading into another unpredictable cycle, and last year's numbers are not reliable. Example: Cornell is currently sitting at medians of 168/3.86, however their average admit for the closing cycle is 172/3.89 based on self reported applicant data. Columbia is holding a 172/3.82 and admitted an average of 174/3.86. Of course this doesn't mean that everyone (or even anyone) will be jumping 2-4 LSAT points, but there is good reason to believe that in general, medians are going up. Whether schools will see the jump this year as anomalous and stick to maintaining last years medians, or see it as sustainable and try to maintain or even better their new medians I have no idea... conjecture welcome, but I think its reasonable to assume like any cycle that if higher numbers appear achievable, they will target them.

You guys are in a weird timeframe right now where incoming class medians have yet to be released, and IMO its best to play it safe and continue to prep if there is any doubt that your score puts a target school/scholarship outcome comfortably within range. That may sound pessimistic, but you do not want to end up like people this cycle who thought they were good to go and are now looking at joining you for another cycle. There is no shortage of them at every score range. Between now and August-ish (school releases) to December (509 release) median releases, I would not want to see anyone lose valuable prep time and suddenly realize they are behind the curve. If you think you have it in you to do better, my recommendation is to play it safe and keep grinding. You can always stop if you decide it's not feasible/worthwhile.

Contrasting opinions welcome... I'd love to see a discussion to provide everyone with a range of opinions to help with the decision making.

Also good luck on Wednesday... no matter what happens, you all are rockstars.

I want to make a study group for those that are currently scoring between 168 and 174ish. With a small group of individuals, we could make a group chat where we discuss questions that we had regarding specific questions that we got stumped on. Specifically, it could be beneficial if we all take the same practice test(s) a week, and then go over the questions that each individual got wrong - say on zoom or FaceTime. It would make the review process more active & fun. Comment below & then DM me your name/number if you're comfortable with that.

I just graduated from undergrad in California.

You can do:

P: A some B

C: A most B

But you cannot do:

P: A most B

C: A some B

Is this right? Some includes most, which is why in the first example it is correct, but most does not include some, hence why the second example is false correct? For specific reference, I was confused on PT 42, Section 4, Number 22 which is why I had this question.

anything would help! THANKS!

Hey everyone, I am new here. Is a year too long to study for the LSAT? A little background about me. I am almost 30, a single mom of one, and I have a 3.9 gpa. I don’t like the idea of cramming this information. As I want to be able to enjoy learning how to master this test. Is a year appropriate?

Hi! Can any one explain how they approached this parallel flaw question about perception? JY tries mapping but it would take me a long time to do and I am trying to see if there's something about the structure of the stimulus that can be used to get to the answer choice. Any explanation would be really helpful!!

Hi everyone,

I am going through 7Sage CC, and I am currently on Alicia’s Bank Deposits – PF Question (PT31.S2.Q21).

JY drew the Lawgic of the stimulus as the following:

BDC->B3

AK (B3)

AK (BDC)

However, I drew the Lawgic of the stimulus as:

BDC->B3

AK->B3

AK->BDC

I was able to derive the answer and get the question correct. However, I am just wondering whether being able to draw the exact same Lawgic as JY is required to do exceptionally well on this test (175+).

Please share your insight!

I have a hard time understanding why C is wrong.

My case for C is this:

Why would they need to increase their safeguards if they have the greatest safeguards out there. That would mean they can’t improve and so it would weaken

Because if we are going to sell them on this idea and physics say “no thanks this is 100% effective” how can we counter that?

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-65-section-4-question-22/

Is this a correlation-causation argument because it assumes that the increase in high school dropouts is the only thing that is causing the increase in recruitment among 18 year olds? And why would the author draw such a conclusion?

And I know there's an explanation vid for this, but why is A incorrect? If the conclusion had said "solely dependent" on high school dropouts, would A weaken?

I have made a forum previously with my deficiencies regard LR however, I have completed most of the 7sage LR curriculum and really have not seen any improvement. I take the LSAT in august does anyone have tips to maximize my time and get better?

When the explanations aren't satisfying and/or when you are stuck in your own loop of reasoning, I think it's important to have a group to bounce ideas off of each other and get a new perspective. So, if you DM me your name and number, we can make a small group and help each other out.

p.s. I don't care if you have a boyfriend, that's not why I'm asking for your digits.

Hi everyone,

This question (PT32.S4.Q21) is one of the sample question posted on 7Sage CC.

It is a parallel flaw question that requires us to draw Lawgic. The stimulus does not have the word, "most." However, three of five answer choices have the word, "most." I saw in other JY's videos that if the stimulus does not contain "most," we can automatically eliminate those answer choices containing "most" for parallel questions. However, in the video https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/experimental-psychology-pf-question/, JY did not do that. Could you all please share your insight with this?

I got down to drawing the Lawgic correct from the stimulus but I erroneously eliminated choices A, B, and D because I thought since they contain the word, "most," the answer choices are automatically incorrect.

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-32-section-4-question-21/

I have a tendency to value quantity over quality when it comes to...most things. When I started gearing up for the November test about a month ago I thought 40 hours a week should be my standard, but I work a full-time job too. So I've been going to sleep and waking up outrageously early (7PM-3AM). Would I be better served by just studying less and giving myself a social life again? Or is this weakness creeping in?

How many hours in a day can you truly study effectively? I'd love to know what your sweet-spot is

I've been studying for a while now and while I don't necessarily score as horribly as I did before, I can't seem get past the -7/-8 stage. I've gone through MANY of the LR sections and blind reviewed everything. I also watch a majority of the explanation videos, but even that still doesn't seem to be enough. Any advice please? I need help :/

I took June LSAT Flex and is nervously waiting for my score. I think I did significantly better than last year ( improving by 20 points I think ) thank to 7sage family. Yesterday, I was panic because I received a notification from LSAC :"We are writing to let you know that your recent LSAT-Flex session is currently being reviewed, along with others, for an incident that was recorded during the administration of the test. Please be assured that your session is intact and your test answers have been recorded properly.

Most reviews are completed within a few days of score release, but some may require a more comprehensive review. We are working diligently to complete the review as quickly as possible. If you have not received your score within 5 days of score release, you may reach out to TestSecurity@LSAC.org for more information."

I can't think of anything that make them flag or put my session on hold, other than briefly lost internet connection but just a few seconds. I did not submit any feedback or complaint because I think I did good and I want to keep my score.

Has anyone experienced with this situation before? I am so nervous that they cancel my score. Please help!

"Sequencing Game Wa Twist Double Problem Set 3" I think is one of the holy grail problem sets that dramatically improved the way I view hard sequencing games. Highly recommend fool proofing it if you haven't.

Does people at 7sage still do this from time to time?

Hi,

I am a Junior at UC Berkeley, majoring in Cognitive Science and minoring in Japanese.

I was just wondering if T6 law schools would look into what kind of courses you took in undergrad? Do I have to impress them by taking many "difficult classes"? My GPA is not very impressive and I am trying to boost it up as much as I can before I graduate. If GPA is the only thing they care, I will just take a lot of relatively more fun History/Sociology classes to secure my gpa and polish my writing skill. Catching two birds with one stone...
