If you have done this passage and got Q14 right, would you mind explaining your thought process? The passage says "the second rationale is that a punishment is justified by severity of a crime." This leads me to interpret that the consequence (severity) of the crime matters to punishment. So I was looking at C and E. Can someone who has figured out this question explain where I went wrong? Thank you!

Hi guys, so I took both the August and November flex exams. On the November exam, I ended up getting a score that is 8 points higher than what I received in August (Thank God) BUT now I have a dilemma. After receiving my score, I immediately started applying to schools because I heard it's best to submit by Thanksgiving. I thought my score increase was pretty middle of the road and nothing extreme since I read on multiple blogs that an LSAT addenda should mainly be written for extreme increases (10+ points). That said, I did not write any LSAT addenda for the 11 schools I have applied to so far.. (big yikes).. but I read some of the posts on here and it seems like some schools require an addendum or highly encourage one when there's a score increase of 5+ points.... so basically, I am freaking out because I submitted so many applications already and don't know if it's too late to write one or if I need one for the ones I submitted? Will law schools contact me or is this something where I need to call them and see if I can submit it even though my application has been sent in? Any insight and advice would be appreciated.

If DJ Khaled were on the 7Sage forums, he'd look at this post and say...

All jokes aside, I'm looking to form a small study group for the Jan LSAT. No score requirement, I think it would actually be useful to have a mix (people with higher scores can reinforce what the learn by helping lower scorers). Personally, my average is now around a 172 (highest was a 176). Anyone is welcome to inquire (through DMs, please) as long as you can meet after 6:30PM EST on one or more weekday. I'd like to start out with 6 people max but may expand. Preferably, I'd like to use FaceTime for these meetings but could do Google Meet as well.

Hi all! Hope everyone is staying safe and doing well. Lemme get to it.

As an undergrad, my friends and I were having a movie night and I used my laptop to stream a movie. Back then I was ignorant and thought that only downloading movies was illegal, while streaming them was okay.

Turned out the website I used was a file-sharing website and the next morning my school's IT department forwarded me an email notifying them that my ISP detected a potential copyright issue. I had to read a short article about why streaming movies on P2P websites counts as copyright infringement and take a quiz. They did mention this was more about educating me, and there would be no record on my file since this was the first and only instance.

Is this something I should disclose on the character & fitness section of my application?

Thank you!

This is my first time posting here, so if I violated some rules/norms, so sorry!

I got my second LSAT score back in November, and for a second time, it was much under my PT range. The first time, it was only 4 points under, which was reasonable enough that I thought it was nerves. The second time, I knew I made a critical mistake on a LG, but I thought I pulled out with roughly a 168-170, which was around my PT average. Instead, I got a 162 for the second time.

I have no idea what went wrong, other than the LG and missing some time because of it, but that wouldn't account for that large of a discrepancy. I did study content right before for my peace of mind, so maybe that played a role in confusing me or something.

I'm taking it again in January as a last-hope effort, but I am unsure how to proceed because I don't know what I need to correct.

For reference, LR is usually my best with LG being a struggle with time, and RC can be its own devil sometimes. I don't have averages on hand, but if that's needed, I figure those out.

Hi y'all, I know this is potentially insane but I recently began studying for the LSAT in mid-January. I have a tutor for a couple hours a week, and do a lot better when I can talk through problems with other people. Is anyone interested in a study group/partnership to hold each other accountable? Also, ISO tips from anyone else who has studied for the LSAT in one month! Feel free to link study sessions below as well, I'm sifting through these resources now to find ones that align with what I'm looking for but don't want to miss anything!

Browsing through an article and found this:

"So long as opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses instability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it. For if it were accepted as a result of argument, the refutation of the argument might shake the solidity of the conviction; but when it rests solely on feeling, worse it fares in argumentative contest, the more persuaded adherents are that their feeling must have some deeper ground, which the arguments do not reach; and while the feeling remains, it is always throwing up fresh intrenchments of argument to repair any breach made in the old."

Without Googling, tell me what you think this means. Reminded me of something that could be on the LSAT.

I'm completely lost on this question; the stimulus is short but I don' know what to even look for

Someone help! There aren't any explanations available online

Hi! Whoever is looking for a study group or a study partner, let me know if you're interested! I'll be taking the February LSAT. I'm averaging in the 150's right now. Some days are good, and some are bad lol. So I definitely want to be confident in only having good days

Hi everyone! I've been having some trouble with certain Assumption questions and I was wondering if I could get some quick help on them. The questions typically state "Which one of the following is an assumption required by the argument?"

Are these typically NA or SA questions?

I'm new to 7sage and I have been going through the curriculum. I like the idea of low resolution summary but I'm curious as to how you'll are doing this on the LSAT Flex where you are unable to write on the passage. Are there any techniques that you'll use for annotation?

Background: I usually score around -6 on LR and LG, but my RC grades usually sit around 50% incorrect answers. I'd like to get this down to the same level as the other two sections before I proceed with studying them further. (I haven't implemented the Low Res/ High Res summary technique on a practice test yet, before I didn't have any strategy at all.)

I see 7Sage has the option to simulate the LSAT-Flex which simply removes one of the LR sections from a practice test. From a prep perspective, is there any benefit to doing this? I see it from the alternative position and being more advantageous to work on an extra 25 LR questions. What might I not be thinking about?

I haven't been able to score a 150 (untimed) the closes I've gotten is a 146. Recently I find myself stuck at a 143 (timed) but when I do blind review, I manage to get 150 (I've gotten this twice my last two PT's). I don't know if I'll be able to start scoring in 150's by January (untimed). I would really like to get into school for the fall. My LSAT goal is mid 150's. I'll take a 150 too honestly. Anyway, my top two schools' deadlines are March 1. I COULD take the Feb LSAT, but I'm wondering if that is risky. Should I wait for next cycle? I feel like my time is running out. My next test will be the third attempt. I would try at most 4. Advice?

I'm already accepted to a couple of schools, and I plan on retaking the LSAT in February. If I end up doing worse, can schools rescind their admissions decisions, or reduce my scholarship amount?

For the LSAC LawHub prep tests purchased with the monthly plan on LSAC's website, is there an option to switch the test to a Flex test like on 7Sages prep test Platform? Are others routinely taking the LSAC's prep tests to simulate the actual test day interface and then reviewing the questions with explanations from the corresponding test on 7sage? Looking for the best way to incorporate the LSAC tests with the 7 sage explanation material.

Hey y'all. I went through the entire logic games curriculum several months ago and I'm currently making my way through every logic games section of the PTs on LawHub. I take a timed section each morning and then immediately go over it with the videos. I notice that sometimes I don't make inferences as quickly as should for how long I've been studying and I feel like I'm going to need to "warm up" the day of the test. Which games would you recommend taking the morning of to prepare myself to make inferences as quickly as possible?

Let me know your thoughts!

I'm nearing the end of the core curriculum and I will begin doing preptests every couple of days, but since I'm limited with time before the January LSAT I wont be able to get through most of the practice tests. That being said, should I just focus on doing the newer tests, or the old ones, or a mix of both? I expect to be able to do about 15 in the time I will have remaining before my exam so I want to make sure that I am making the right choices.

What is question PT2.S1.Q17? RecS?

Where can I find the written out guide of what all the tags mean? I am trying to identify the question types I tend to get wrong, but I am confused by the tags and their abbreviations.

Thank you!

Can someone please explain to me why B is right?

I'm a girl and I'm Asian but I don't feel that either of those two things had any bearing on my life; should I even write a diversity statement? I feel that my application is missing something if I don't write one, but I don't want to force diversity where there isn't any

Hi, I am retaking the LSAT in January in hopes of increasing my score. I am looking for an affordable tutor who can help. If you know of anyone please let me know. Thank you!

I made great improvements in the LR section after using the loophole. On the pt's in the 60's and 70's i was usually -3 to -5. Since moving into the 80's though my scores have gotten much worse, anywhere from -5 to -8. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found that taking a break from timed sections and pt's to go back to doing translation and clir drills helped? That is what helped me get to -3 on the earlier pt's but i am scheduled to take January and taking a break from timed work scares me. Appreciate any feedback you may have!

is there a lesson on taking the contrapositive for combined conditional statements where "and" is in the sufficient condition/"or" is in the necessary condition. Trying to work on my conditional chains. Thanks!

I purchased the prepaid plus account however it is not linking to my account and I am not able to access the questions and all on my account. Can someone please help and walk me through it?
