Hi friends,

I've tried to view three different active applications on LSAC. Each time I've gotten an error and it is kicking me out. Is LSAC down? Is anyone else having an issue?

I click view application for a specific school and the page loads, then when I click Step 1 - complete application forms (application button at the bottom) it kicks me out.

Please I need a tutor in RC and LR!

Is there a lesson on some and most for conditional statements? I just searched through the course and couldn't find anything.

Especially if your first language is not English. I speak another language fluently, but would NEVER be able to comprehend an RC section in that language. It must take a lot of hard work and dedication (A LOT!) to get to the point that you can speak another language well enough to get through the LSAT without losing your mind.

If any of you are discouraged, just remember that the majority of native English speakers wouldn't even bother trying to take the LSAT. You are doing something that is incredibly difficult. When climbing a difficult mountain, sometimes it helps to stop, look around, and realize just how far you've come. BE PROUD OF YOURSELVES!

Hi 7sagers!

Happy to announce session number 3 of these free tutoring series! We will be covering LR flaw question strategy. It will be Sunday November 1st at 7pm EST.

I have gone through the 7sage CC twice, taken over 90% of the PTs out there, and am currently scoring in the low 170s. My diagnostic was a 138. I've struggled immensely with this test, and I can show you how I overcame these obstacles.

In this session, we'll cover topics on:

-How to approach flaw questions under timed conditions

-How to actively read and engage with flaw questions

-Why anticipating what the correct answer choice could be is helpful, but why you still need to be careful when doing so.

-How you can still get these questions correct even when you don't anticipate what the flaw is.

We will be using questions from the free diagnostic LSAT test provided on the LSAC website. This session will be helpful for students that recently completed the flaw CC, or are in the PT phase of their studies and is struggling with Flaw Questions.

If this session goes well, I'd be open to hosting more free sessions! Please let me know what topics you'd like to discuss at a future session in the poll below. See you there!

A few additional things I want to mention so we can all get the most out of the session:

Please refrain from looking at the correct answer choices when we are going through problems. It is to your benefit to be unaware so you can learn!

Please make sure your microphone is on mute during the session, unless you are the person volunteering to help answer a question.

I will be asking for volunteers throughout the session. If you would like to volunteer, please type it in the chat box.

The session will last around two hours, questions unrelated to the topic at hand should be saved until the end.

If you learned something helpful, all I ask for payment is that you share the knowledge with others that could be struggling. After all, we rise by lifting others up. :smile:

Let me know if ya'll have any questions. Hope to see you there!

Chris Nguyen is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

So, I thought this was really cool.

I took PT 48 yesterday and I'm BR'ing today. So there's a passage on Louise Glück (the 2nd one) in that test and she just won the Nobel Prize in Literature this year. It's so cool to recognize the name and also have an image of her from when they talked about her on the news when she won. I'm not familiar with her work - at all! - so interacting with the passage was a bit fun. Especially in BR now, when I can spend more time with the passage. :)

Timing!! ... Especially since that test is from December 2005.

I've debated if I should post this but decided to do it because I really need some encouragement. I took an Oct test for the first time and received 151. I was hoping for 155+ as my PTing was around that. I've been studying for a year, my diagnostic was 134, gone through 7-sage CC, the Loophole and some of Mike Kim's Trainer. Couple of months ago I got a tutor and he's helped me a lot with LR and RC. My worst section is RC (-10-16), LR (-6-9), LG (-2-6).

I signed up to take Nov test too, hoping to get a higher score. My GPA is 3.98, I'm non traditional student, first gen college and grad student and English is my second language. I have strong LORs, PS and DS.

I'm hoping to get into UCONN, Maurer, or W&M, and also shooting for W&L, U.of Illinois-Urbana, GW, GM, Northeastern. I'm also looking at Buffalo as my last resort. I know my LSAT score is very low and I don't want to take another year for studying. Nov test is my last shot.

I know many people would say I'm wasting my GPA, but I'm feeling done and just want to go to a law school in 2021. Is anyone in here with similar stats has a successful story of getting into law schools and getting any scholarships?

I would greatly appreciate any information about other schools I could look at as my safe targets. I'm trying to stay on the east coast and ideally move up North.

I'm registered for the November Flex, which is offered domestically in NA. Due to family reasons, however, I'm now stuck in Taipei for the month.

I know that I'm not supposed to take a Domestic LSAT while abroad: I called LSAC and they said I'd do it "at my own risk." But given the tight timeframe of the application cycle I've decided to give it a try anyway.

Have there been any success stories with international test-takers completing the Domestic LSAT-Flex? Perhaps in August? If so, how did you do it? Any help is appreciated.

I just received the email regarding sign up times for the November exam. I wanted to test my computer but i need to make an account first it says. I went to do that and it asked for an institution, does anyone know what to put for this? Does that mean your college? I also saw and LSAC option so i was not sure what to pick. Thanks!

If I’m below a schools LSAT median by one point, but have a strong gpa, does that make up for it?

Hi all! I took the August exam and scored below my avg (got 150 and my PTs were 157-162)I honestly think I was burnt out and felt like I didn’t even know how to read so yeah the exam sucked. I’m currently in my senior year taking some classes with a heavy workload and started to somewhat study very lightly about a week ago for the Nov exam, I’ve taken two PTs and got a 164 and 163! I’m debating if I should move my November exam to Jan or just take both? I’m worried I’m not studying enough but then again I definitely burnt myself out for August, so just looking for some advice! Thanks!!

I am writing the LSAT in November and I just want to say how amazing the 7sage community is. I'm constantly blown away with how much encouragement, support and mutual respect for each other's well being there is on this website. I feel so much more at ease seeing what other 7sagers have to say about their LSAT/applications/overall journey to Law school. What an awesome thing to be a part of. Seriously.

Hello,

I was wondering if proctors are required to give you time back if you disconnect due to problems with your wifi. I had on the last exam and the proctor let me continue, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to get time back if it happens again. Thank you!

Hey guys!

This may be a silly problem to come on here with, I'm applying to Ontario (Canadian) law schools and applications are due November 1. I had a few questions:

I'm a re-applicant so my prof just needs to re-upload her letter, I contacted her last week letting her know I sent her the OLSAS link and she responded so I'm sure she has received it....she has not uploaded it and I'm not sure at what point to send her another email? I don't want to annoy her but I may not be able to contact her over the weekend. Should I just politely nudge her and 'check to see that she got the link'?

Applications are due by November 1st does that mean October 31st by midnight or November 1st by midnight? I don't plan to risk it but it would be helpful to know incase I have any issues with my referee

Applications being due on a weekend won't cause any problems on the system, right? (Okay I know thats a really silly question, they wouldn't make the deadline Nov 1 if weekends were a problem .... but it's just nice to put all my concerns at ease.)

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this!

Best of luck!

Is this still a thing today for T-14 schools? I'm intl' btw so I am not looking for scholarship money. But do law schools still practice rolling admissions? Just wondering if applying in Feb puts me at a significant disadvantage!

For drill question 12 on page 49. Wouldn't the valid conclusion be that Sophie is unlikely to be a person to know? As it is unlikely that her moon will stay in Virgo and if her moon doesn't stay in Virgo she will not have a cholesterol increase. I'm sure I am wrong but I am just not getting it.

Hello! For anyone who has taken the flex exam already, can you share how sign up day works & what happens after you receive the link at 12PM. Thanks!

Hi all, this will be my first and last post on 7Sage regarding the LSAT. I am not one for posting blogs, or tweeting, or sharing things like this. But I feel that it may be useful to a person or two, and that is good enough for me. I started originally doing questions a number of months back to see whether I should pursue a career in law, or continue onto the business track with my degrees in Finance and Economics (UGPA: 3.1, nothing special). The questions went well, and I had a decent understanding of what to do in each section (RC, LR, LG), but I wasn't doing these under timed circumstances, so obviously it wasn't extremely difficult, albeit, the tough questions are still very tough, typically. I studied for 3 months on weekdays about an hour a day (likely much less but I am rounding up), and then really crammed on PTs the last couple of weeks leading up to the test. My PTs were mid 150s which then turned to upper 140s in immediate days prior. I was internally panicking a little bit, and even after testing, I didn't feel great about it at all. My score came back a 154 and will be enough to get me into the local law schools that I have had my eye on. Anyways, the point of this is to illustrate to anyone on here that this site is extremely beneficial in any area that you may be struggling on with the test (I was very solid in LG, but always struggled with LR and RC) and can certainly bump your score up plenty. I put in much less time than most seem to put in, and it still was enough for a 4 point bounce between the 2 LSATs that I took in a 3 month span. I'm not posting this to advocate for little study time or minimal effort, but more so to let those out there that may be struggling know that you have a chance, no matter what, and to stay confident! It may be something that clicks that day, it might be an easier test suited for you, or maybe the pressure wears off once that test is actually out in front of you. Whatever the case may be, stay confident! You never know how things will turn out.

I am a little confused because I have been continuously checking the LSAC website to see if there are any updates on the day and time that I will be taking the November Flex Exam. To people who have already taken a Flex Test, when did you find out all the specific details of when you were taking it? We are two weeks away and I figured they would have this information available at this point.

Hi everyone.

I might be a little late to the party with this question but does anyone have a list of conclusion types?

Perhaps even with an example Q to go along with it for reference (if not I am still appreciative).

I came across a NA Q (PT 70.1.13, for those who are interested) and I struggled with this Q until I saw a comment that cleared it all up for me. I don't want to put this person on the spot by publicizing their 7sage username but to quote their comment, " [the] key to answering this conclusion requires identifying what type of conclusion is made. in this question, the conclusion is a comparative statement about the effectiveness of an ad". As soon as I noticed that the conclusion was in fact a comparative statement, I knew what I had to do and the AC I eliminated time and time again became the obvious answer.

That is when I had my 'aha' moment! So then I said to myself we can have a causal conclusion, comparative, one based on a likelihood/probability, cause and effect, etc. "What conclusion types are there and what do I do when I have spotted it" became my train of thought.

Being that the LSAT is a marathon and not a sprint, and with that being said, I am ready to close my LR gap a bit further now. I suspect that being able to identify the type of conclusion made in an argument helps close that LR gap.

Is this something that I missed in the CC?

High LR scorers: do you implement this in your analysis of an argument?

Very interested to hear your comments because I think this is key to what is holding me back in LR.

(I also struggle with RC and I think taking this ultra-sensitive approach might help me as well.)

Thanks 7Sagers!

If I pin a question while doing a problem set, where can find it to revisit it again?

I'm going to be taking my test in NYC at a hotel. Any fellow locals have any suggestions on hotels? I live here so I have no idea about what the best hotel is to take this test :D

Does anyone have any recommendations for how to approach strengthen/ weaken questions - especially weaken questions? I’m actually horrible at them and they’re killing my LR score.

I am trying to get a full ride+ to pursue public interest.

I took the October LSAT and scored low/mid 160s, below my average PT score (170). I’m taking the November test, and planning on getting apps in around the same time as score release.

If I don’t hit my goal score on the November test, would it be reasonable to apply with my 16X, get admissions offers (and likely not enough scholarship), retake in January and - assuming I hit the mark in January - ask for a reconsideration of scholarship based on that score?

Is that common practice? Is it likely to have success? (Or will schools have distributed their scholarship allocations by then?)

Waiting a cycle is not really on the table unless it absolutely has to be - but I’d rather wait than end up w loans or at a school with abysmal employment stats.

I am signed up for the November LSAT Flex. I first studied for this test 2 years ago for about 3 months before having to set it aside for personal reasons. Started back up in May, after graduating from university, and studied for 6 months for 4-6 hours a day 7 days a week. My diagnostic from 2 years ago was a 149.

I've take almost every single PT some of them twice, except for 7 from the 80s that I'm planning on taking before test day. I am consistently scoring at a 169 without fail, I've surpassed 170 on four occasions but it's not consistent. My BR is always around 176. No matter what I try it feels like I can't get my actual score to reach that level.

My goal is a 170+. It feels like I've hit a plateau and its incredibly frustrating. Is it realistic for me to score above 170 on test day? Are there things I can do in my last week or so to increase my chances? Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this.
