The rules of this game seem fairly simply yet there is an inference I'm not getting.

The colors are Navy, Yellow and Red; the clothing pieces are a hat, a jacket, a skirt and a red tie for M1.

M2 gets a Navy skirts-leaving M2 to only ONE additional color choice to be styled.

M1 gets the red tie-leaving M1 to only one additional color to be styled.

We are told that the hat color must be different from the jacket color; i.e, if M1 wears a red hat, the jacket can be any other color BUT red. Same for M2

Now here's my problem, it seems I'm missing an inference where M1 and M2 can't have the same color in the same clothing.Like, M1 having a Navy Jacket and M2 having a Navy Jacket. BUT the rules doesn't say they can't have the same color of clothing. It only says the hat and jacket color must be different for each mannequin.

For 9: If M1 wears the Navy Jacket, I don't see why M2 can't wear a red hat.

Manq.1 H J S T

Color R N R R

Manq.2 H J S

Color R N N

Per my illustration above sticking to the rules:

-Neither mannequin is wearing all 3 colors (M1, Y & N), (M2, R & N)

-M1's hat(R) is different from its Jacket (N) and M2's hat (R) is different from its jacket (N)

-M2 has the navy skirt and M1 has the red tie.

Per this illustration how is answer C wrong?

So I'm trying to send my transcripts to LSAC. I studied abroad in the UK so I'm trying to get that uni to send my transcript to LSAC but on their website it says that due to the pandemic they're unable to provide authenticated copies for the time being.

Is anyone else having similar problems? I emailed them asking how I should request my transcript then but honestly I have no idea what to do about this.

So, I've already gone through equations on powerscore and manhattan prep.

Let's say Ppp was $100 20 years ago, and now $10

while tpp was $8 20 years ago, and now $11(as it doesn't say how much it had increased)

20 yrs ago, tpp was way cheaper than Ppp and it was more than10 times of tpp.

Still, currently Ppps offer a less expensive approach than tpp.

So my question would be, not knowing the increase rate of TPP, why do we have to assume that TPP*10 > Ppp 20 years ago?

Hello everyone! 7sage calculator/predictor is pretty (overly?) optimistic on my chances for admission in most T14s (except Y/S). Admission odds aside, do I stand a chance of scoring a decent scholarship from some of these schools? I'm scared some of these places will balk at my GPA. Non-URM, 3+ years of corporate work experience, interesting softs.

Hey everyone just had a question. How much impact does being a division 1 student athlete at an ivy league school have on your applications? Would admissions take that into consideration when looking at my GPA (3.66)? Also, wondering how much impact does being a professional athlete at the youth level have on the application! Have experienced both and transitioned into academics fairly late and would appreciate any feedback! Would I have to write an addendum emphasizing my time as a student athlete/professional?

Thank you!!

Hey 7Sage community,

I need some help. I really want to apply to law school this cycle and am going to take the November LSAT. For the past three PTs that I've taken I've scored between160-163 on the actual test and have gotten 173-175 on blind review for these same tests (breakdown of my scores below). I really want/need to bump my score up a few more points to be even within reaching distance for the law school that I really want to get into. I know it's a bit of a stretch, but I am particularly trying to get into Michigan for a variety of reasons, partly because I am currently a grad student here and have a pretty strong why Michigan essay as well as strength in my undergrad GPA (3.9) and other things that will help my application. I think that with this extra bump in my LSAT score I could have a shot of getting in.

So here's my problem: How can I raise my score by roughly five points or so in just under two months? Like I mentioned above, I'm a full time graduate student, plus I work part time, so I've found it hard to fit in time for anything more than a PT and a blind review of that test each week. Given the breakdown of my three PTs below, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can target specific areas or what I should focus on in my study time in order to improve before the November test? I really struggle with timing as well (as is exhibited by the difference between my actual and BR scores), so I am wondering if anyone has tips for improving timing? Also, if anyone is interested in dabbling in tutoring and is interested in helping me at all, please DM me!

Here is a breakdown of my three most recent PTs:

PT 1:

Actual Score: 163, -9 RC, -3 LG, -5 LR, -7, LR

BR Score: 175

PT 2:

Actual Score: 160, -7 RC, -8 LG, -4 LR, -7 LR

(*note: the high number of missed questions on LG for this test is unusual for me -- what happened here is I ran into a hard game that I had practiced before and I psyched myself out by remembering that it was really hard)

BR Score: 175

PT 3:

Actual Score: 162, -8 RC, -2 LG, -5 LR, -7 LR

BR Score: 173

Thank you to anyone who can provide some help! I appreciate any and all advice!

Best,

Heather

Due to Flex only being 3 sections, what would be your scaled score for the Flex if you missed about 8-10 questions total? Just curious due to myself starting to take PT's in the next few weeks after more untimed sections.

I am looking for an affordable tutor who can also tutor another person along with me for the November LSAT. Please help currently panicking. @leeanacummings

Has anyone recently dealt with a foreign institution (Europe) sending transcripts to LSAC? My university Can create all records necessary and translate them. What they categorically refuse to do us mail them to LSAC.

Anyone mailed the seal envelope themselves?

Hey everyone! My name is Emaan! I just started my LSAT journey here on 7sage but have been studying by myself these past couple of weeks. I'm looking to see if anyone is interested in a study group/accountability group/ just a place where we can talk about the test, the CC, discuss any questions, practice and just vent!

Comment below if you're interested!

So my UGPA ended at a 3.1, but I don't know how my CAS GPA will look like, and fear it could be significantly worse- around a 2.8 even. I re-took several failed classes, so replacing an F or D with a B or A on 3 occasions helped my GPA quite a bit on my school's transcript, but it seems CAS won't calculate it that way.

On the bright side, I'm scoring mid to high 160's currently on practices and feel confident that by my second LSAT take, likely November, I'll achieve the 170 I'm aiming for, or at least a 167+.

Using 7sage's law school predictor with these numbers (2.8, 170) has had me rather confident about my chances for the schools I'm hoping for 20-40 ranked, with UF my #1 choice. 7sage predictor puts me at 85% chance for UF.

I have two questions - one, is that law school predictor very reliable? Because I'm kind of shocked that good schools would really want me if my CAS GPA comes out that low, knowing how high most applicants' GPAs are. (I know LSAT is a big factor, but the GPA difference seems so big that, to me, a score just above L75 wouldn't reconcile that. I could well be wrong, though). And two, anyone else who applied with low GPA can speak from experience how their admissions went, or just anyone with the knowledge?

Any help or advice is very much appreciated.

Background

I toyed with the idea of going to law school around March, but I wasn't sold on it. I was nervous to take the LSAT and was unsure of the career outcomes. I had a solo road trip from Florida to Colorado, so I decided to listen to some podcasts about law and the LSAT.

Luckily, I stumbled upon the 7Sage podcast and all of David's wonderful interviews. I binged on every episode during my 2-day drive. Hearing from 7Sage students and admissions staff was eye-opening and inspirational. This is one of the best free resources regarding law school admissions that I have found -- and trust me, I've listened to a ton of videos and podcasts lol.

Studying for the LSAT

I took a cold diagnostic on Khan Academy and received a 158. At this time, I imagined UF to be my ultimate goal. All I needed were a few more points! But Khan's structure left me unsatisfied, and I was scoring between 156 and 163 after a few weeks of studying.

I knew the free option wasn't going to work, so I signed up for 7Sage. JY's explanations were exactly what I needed, but I found the comments to be the real secret to my success. We all know how JY can say an answer is just wrong without an explanation, so it helped to see others explain why a certain AC didn't work.

Going through the CC helped me learn the test, and I started to score in the low 160s. I knew I had more to learn so I followed this schedule:

Monday-Friday: 1-3 hours of studying (I would do 2 or 3 timed sections or go over lessons on key concepts)

Saturday: Full PT and BR after

Sunday: Go over all flagged and wrong answers

Hitting 170

My routine helped me get to the mid 160s, but I felt like my scores were not consistent. So I focused on each section for 1 week at a time to see if I could master them.

Monday - Friday, I would do 2-3 timed sections of a specific section or question type. RC was the most important, and 1 week of studying it helped me get to a -3 consistently.

At this point, I averaged 169-171.

The Real Deal

My first real LSAT (July 2020) was a 166. I was happy but also let down. I knew I could do better.

So I took a week off and then did 2 practice tests per week. I also reviewed every wrong answer I ever got on any PT. This helped me see old mistakes that I may never have corrected.

Finally, I scored a 170 on the August LSAT.

Thanks again JY!

Other small tips:

  • I stopped drinking altogether as it caused brain fog
  • I drank 2 cups of coffee before a PT and always studied with a cup of coffee. Then before the LSAT, I would pound an energy drink
  • I am an editor by trade, so I read A TON. This probably helped with RC
  • For RC, I practiced "Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast." Slow down and be precise. The speed will come.

    Hey everyone! Getting ready to take the October LSAT-Flex and I'm trying to make sure I have everything all figured out and ready so I don't have any tech-related stressors on the day of the test. I have a list below of things I'm planning on doing in the next week or so, but wanted to see if there's anything I'm forgetting or not thinking of that others would recommend.

  • Check laptop settings to make sure meet minimum tech requirements for system, etc.
  • Check internet speed to make sure up to requirements.
  • Ensure testing room does not have other electronics including watches, e-cigs, fitness-tracking devices, calculators, cameras, recording devices, iPods, etc.
  • Ensure that I have physical materials: ID, 5 blank sheets of scratch paper, one or more writing utensils, highlighter, tissues, water bottle (in plastic container).
  • Anyone that has taken the test or is taking this test have anything else I should do tech/prep wise? Thank you! Good luck to everyone who will be taking it with me!!

    Hey yall!

    I had closed my account after the August Flex. But I'm a splitter and I think I can achieve an even better LSAT score for the November test if my PTs were any indication, so now Im back babyyyyyyy!

    But anyway, I'm wondering if anyone is in a similar situation as far as having gone through almost all the recent PT's. Not only that, but I've found that I've only got about 10 clean and fresh PTs out of ALL of them. Now those 10 PTs will be enough for the five weeks or so that I have left to study, but they're very old. Has anyone found it helpful to retake already completed PTs? Or have general tips or strategies they use when they've already gone through all of the core curriculum/most of the questions?

    Thanks!

    By applecare support, I found a folder within that belongs to lawhub, and on one mac it takes up 50GB!!!! and on my new mac, which I used to access lawhub, it takes up 600GB!! I was wondering if it's okay to delete those files (they were under library>applicationsupport>google>chrome>default>indexedDB>https_lawhub.lsac.org_0.indexeddb.blob)

    Do anyone have the same problem? I

    was able to locate the folder by applecare support people. I was worried that if I deleted them, it would cause problems when I take my flex. (I tried deleting it on one of the computers and lawhub works fine, but felt insecure about what would happen during real-time flex).
