Im currently having issues pertaining to Logic Games. I'm having issues in terms of which game board type I would apply depending on the stimulus. I'm not sure if I should do In/Out or Grouping or a mix of two depending on the situation is what I'm having issues with immensely. I haven't practiced the logic games section that much though in terms of the explanation videos JY provides. Do you think if I print the Logic Game questions out that are provided in the curriculum and doing them over and over again will help me identify which game board I use in the future on other questions? I would appreciate any guidance!
Hi everyone! For the Flex, I know people use a phone camera during the check-in process to show what their computer looks like. Does anyone know whether I can use a small handheld mirror to do this instead?? Thank you!
Hi all!
Does anyone know when LSAC will release new testing dates? I know that they have release the dates for January and April, but will there be any other test dates for 2021?
Hey all!
I'm taking the Jan flex next week and am shooting for a 160. I have been doing research and it appears that 54/76 points translates to a 160 on the flex. However, I was going through my Preptests on 7Sage and scored 54/76 on PT 81 which (on 7Sage) translated to a 158.
I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on which scoring scale is closer to the flex? Would love to know if anyone else has noticed something similar!
Could someone explain why D is wrong and A is right?
I initially chose D because it said "Parents are given vouchers" and "to attract students."
I thought students could be attracted, but then that doesn't mean that they would attend the school, because it's up to the parents.
I would really appreciate any advice!! I'm retaking the LSAT this weekend after taking it back in July. I got a decent score the first time I took it but it really isn't what I wanted and I was convinced I could do better. I have been dealing with a lot of test anxiety so I don't think I've prepared to the best of my ability for the January Flex (the anxiety kind of makes me not want to study if that makes sense?) but at the same time I'm not sure what more I can even do.
I'm scoring 2-3 points above my July score which still isn't where I want it to be. At this point I don't know if I should just take it this weekend and go with the score I've got or if I should withdraw and take a break from studying/LSAT stuff in general and try again over the summer. I'm not applying during this admissions cycle so I'm not restricted to taking it now. I also really just want to be done and not have to go through studying and stressing about it again but I also am not content with the PT scores I have.
Hi!
Strange question, I know. I was granted a 50% time accomodation and recently realized that, with 53 min per section, I'll have to be sitting about 3 hours when you include the pre-test rituals with the proctor. Now, I have tiny blatter and can barely manage more than two hours without peeing. Since I was not granted any break time, I need to figure out a way to pee. Any suggestions? Will I be allowed to have a bucket next to me duirng the test? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Does anybody know if the June test will also be Flex?
Hey everyone,
I hope you’re all keeping safe and healthy!
I’m writing the January Flex and I’m wondering if there’s anything I need to download before my test (MacBook user)? Do I just sign onto my ProctorU before my test and it’ll load me to a screen? Please let me know about your experiences :)
Hey all!
I am pretty in-tune with when to split grouping game boards based off my own instincts, however I just took PT 85 Game 1 (a sequencing game) and tried to split that game board thinking I could do it off the "T in 1/7" and "T7 -> R1" rule.
Anyways, it's a pretty easy game but after realizing I couldn't split it effectively, it became rather difficult under time pressures.
I was wondering for anyone who particularly likes/specializes in sequencing games: if it's a game with a lot of precise rules and no clear split do you just head straight into the questions? And do you have any tips on what to look for in order to tell if you should try splitting under timed conditions for a sequencing game?
I feel as though there is usually a clear split for grouping games (emphasis on usually), but I would love to know everyone else's thoughts on if it is more common than not, to not split a sequencing game given that there are usually more spots?
just thought I would ask so I can get comfortable with the idea of not splitting!
please let me know if anything above makes no sense lol, just finished a heavy day of studying
I have been studying for the LSAT for quite some time now and I have yet to get -0 on a new section of LG games. I can easily get -0 on sections I have already done but every time I do a new section, I can never get -0. How long did it take ya'll to consistently hit -1 or -0 on LG?
Hi everyone,
Do you have to complete the online writing sample prior to your LSAT test date? Or is it ok to do the writing sample within the few days after you take the test? I'm taking the LSAT on Saturday, so if I should do my writing sample before then please let me know asap :) thanks everyone!
Using the predictor here on 7Sage, I have a 56% chance as it stands now of getting into the school I want most... Is this good enough? Should I shoot for a higher LSAT to increase my chances with this school and other schools or apply now and cross my fingers? Please let me know!
I am in panic mode - which I know isn't going to help the situation. I have been scoring in the low-mid 160s for months. I take my second LSAT next week and my last practice test was a 148, lower than the first PT I ever took! I get test anxiety already, so this isn't helping. Has anyone else experienced regression like this?
Is it possible to get into Harvard with 3.55gpa and 177 Lsat?
How long is the Lsat flex and how long is each section? for those that did flex already.
Hi I did one full section on PT80 (one LR section) and I want my answers without completing the other sections is that possible? Or do we have to complete the whole test to see results?
I'm testing on Saturday, and I'm just wondering when I should stop studying? I took a PT Sunday and did well, so I feel really confident going into the test. Should I leave it on that note or take on more tomorrow? Maintaining that sense of confidence is really important for me going into Saturday, so I'm worried another PT might somehow mess with that if for some reason it doesn't go as hoped, but I don't know if it's a bad idea to have 6 days between my last PT and the real thing. I've still been doing some light studying and will continue to do so probably through Thursday, but I really can't decide whether or not to test one more time, so any advice would be appreciated.
Any advice would be appreciated. This is my first time taking the flex (3rd time taking the lsat overall) and I’ve basically been studying every day since June 2020, like studying has become my full time job for the past 6 months. Initially, I started at a score of 143 and, to my dismay, I’ve been PTing around 157/158 (using the flex option on 7Sage) but My blind review is always 174-177. I’m aiming for a 170+ score but constantly getting in the 150s has seriously hit my confidence. I want to apply for fall 2021, and I’m debating whether I should switch it to feb to give myself another month to improve or if I should just chill out these next few days and take it on Saturday
I selected E. I thought the people's confidence was important. If the other scientists knew that the people's confidence in professor smith was low, they didn't have to worry about needing to discredit it because no one would believe him. Please help me understand why this is not the correct choice and why C (present evidence to find truth) is.
Why is the main point (D) "research effort" and not (A) it is probably technologically possible to alter the climate?
Let me begin this with some context: I have never qualified for any type of diversity related situation in my life. However, somebody said something to me the other day that popped a lightbulb on in my head and now I need your advice 7sage...
I am a twenty-something year old without social media. That's right, not a single one. Zilch. Do you think that would fly? The group of people I was talking to informed me that I was the only person they knew in the world (lol) that didn't at least have facebook.
My initial thought was to spin it as not being influenced by Silicon Valley algorithms all day (no offense), and how disconnecting myself from that sort of content has opened up both my mind and my personality more to other's point of view.
Am I crazy? Will an adcom laugh me out of the building?
#HELP
Anyone have thoughts on if it would be more beneficial to start with the last questions of LR and then go the first when taking practice tests since the last ones are harder than the first?
Hi everyone. I attended three schools to obtain my undergrad. First I was dual enrolled and graduated high school with my associates degree. Then I went to Northwestern where I didn't have a great time. Many issues and some problems left me with academic dismissal after I left the university midway through a semester and didn't finish out the year. I then went to FIU and used none of the credits obtained at northwestern, just the credits I got from my associates. So my question is do I have to submit transcripts from northwestern at all? Or can I choose to omit them since they had no bearing on my collegiate career?
I originally planned to apply to both PhDs (history, just finished a Master's with a 4.0 at UChicago) and, separately, JDs this cycle (have worked in a lot of paralegal and legal research jobs); but I made veeery slow to no progress on the LSAT, and it became clear to me by November, when I needed to focus on getting the PhD applications out the door, that it was unlikely I would reach a super competitive LSAT score for this cycle (which would be necessary given my terrible UGPA at Princeton - 2.51 10 years ago due to medical issues long since resolved). I determined to finish the PhD applications and then make a decision on whether or not it made sense to apply in January/February with my current GRE score.
I'm now at the juncture of trying to understand how my current GRE score stacks up (170 Verbal 99%, 159 Quant 69%). The ETS's GRE-to-LSAT calculator says this is equivalent to a 172 (weighting the verbal 60% and the quant 40%). But I see on 7Sage that that conversion is not necessarily followed by law school admissions and that the best indicator is the GRE percentile. However, since the GRE does not provide an overall percentile, my question is, how should I look at those two separate percentiles for the GRE verbal and quant scores and figure out what an overall percentile is roughly? Would I look at the two percentiles evenly, weighting them 50-50, or, like the ETS conversion calculator assumes, weight the verbal percentile more? And how much more?
