Hi, does anything know exactly when we will be able to schedule our date and time for the January LSAT on ProctorU? I know it "usually happens 10 days before" but I cannot find an exact scheduling time. Does anyone know?

I think the correct AC is drawing a super fine stretch. Please explain to me why this AC is correct. Critics have charged that the hormone is a health risk to people and thereby ingest unsafe quantities of it. Then the biologist rebuttals with the fact that people could eat the injected amount every day and not be affected and that no one eats a whole deer in a day anyways. This led me to believe E was the right AC. If this was a weakening question, I could see how AC A is correct. In a NA question is it possible to view the correct AC as a weakening sort as well? Am I looking at this incorrectly?

Basically was planning on applying this cycle but pushed LSAT back a bunch of times and now am taking it in January. Asked my Professors to submit recs beginning of Jan. Should I just hold that off and ask them to submit them in November or would it be okay if they submitted recs to LSAC now?

Personal Injury (PI) or personal damage exceeding 500 (PD>500)------> LR (legally required to report accident)

"Unless the driver is incapable"- Capable-----> /LR (is this right?)

/LR (Ted is NOT legally required to report accident)

Must be true:

/LR-----> /PI and /PD>500 or Capable? Is this right?

After I read the stimulus, am I supposed to just go to the answer choices? I couldn't anticipate what the potential answer could be...I had issues with A and E

Premise: more varieties of mate in P than anywhere else+ more widely used than anywhere else

Conclusion: P likely place where mate originated from

Is A incorrect because the premises are comparative while this is stating "great variety of types of a beverage?" when the number of mate in P could be a small number like two and a beverage can be in use in an area for a "very long time" but still not be the place where it originated?

As for E, could this be represented as a double arrow relationship? longer beverage has been used(----) beverage more widely used so if mate is more widely used in P than anywhere else, P would also be the place where mate was used the longest which strengthens the conclusion that P was likely the place where mate came from?

I’ve had anxiety problems since I was 12, and have also been on medication for anxiety since then as well. Despite being on a medication, I still get anxiety during tests to the point where I nearly get sick to my stomach. The LSAT is the biggest test of my life, just like it is for many others. I have pretty much everything riding on doing well and hitting my target score. What can I do to lessen my test day anxiety? Is it possible for me to receive extra time or something? Is there a medication I should request from my doctor to help reduce the anxiety I have? I am just extremely stressed about this situation, and I haven’t even scheduled my test date yet.

When JY says that we can disregard a statement that is preceded with the word “although”, can we literally just skip right over the statement that follows that word without reading it as if it has no effect on the argument? I know that doing so would save a few seconds, but im too OCD in making sure i read every word, feeling i might miss out on something important.

Hey guys, I've comprised a method of studying in which I take a PT, tally up the different question types that I miss, and then create a problem set with specifically those questions in a section-esque format (24-26 questions). One problem that I think I may be running myself into is creating this set with specifically only 4 or 5 star difficulty questions, which I initially did to get stronger in these areas, sort of like using a donut on your baseball bat to get stronger and faster. However, it does get pretty discouraging sometimes when I miss a few more than expected on the set. Realistically, how many of these 4/5 stars do you guys think I can expect on any given administration of the LSAT? Your answer to this is only to quell my anxieties that I'm a failure 👍🏻🤠

So basically I'm applying in Feb. and my GPA is currently a 3.54 but next semester I'm doing an internship program for credit and you get As in all 12 credits pretty much automatically and that would def boost my GPA to like a 3.6 and I'm sure that would be advantageous to my application. How should I go about using this to my advantage? Could I add an addendum and if I did..would they care? I'm hoping that the GPA I actually graduate with would be reported in the rankings (which I assume would be the only consideration for GPA in terms of a tiny difference such as this).

Thoughts?

Hello Everyone,

I realize there are an abundance of posts regarding users seeking LG help. I have scanned the archives extensively, and am still perplexed by my own situation. I started studying for the LSAT a little over a year ago. In the first diagnostic I took, I only managed to get 2 LG questions correct (yes, you read that correctly). Meanwhile, my scores in RC and LR were very reasonable. Fast forward a year, and I am scoring around -5 in RC and -4 in LR. However, my LG is consistently around -10. I should be scoring in the mid to high 160's, but the games are pulling down my performance. I am not in any way ok with this, as I am shooting for a 170. I have spent HUNDRED(S) of hours combating the games, and have invested comparatively very little effort in RC and LR. I usually make a couple errors in the first two games, but the real score sink occurs around the third game, (generally harder than the first two). I spend far too much time in this third game, and can't reach the fourth one. I have taken and BR'ed lots of difficult games, so it is not an exposure issue. I am generally setting the games up very quickly at this point. I seem to have issues internalizing the rules in their entirety, and pushing out all of the inferences. When I get hung up on a question, I have lots of difficulty moving on without feeling flustered. My current method of attack is to really clearly diagram the rules, and answer questions as I go, instead of trying to split lots of game boards. I find that in the harder games, I am not very good at finding conducive ways to split. I am seeing lots of improvements over the past weeks in LG, but my PT score is not reflecting these advances.

Can anyone offer advice? Thanks so much.

Scoring an average of 167. Looking for someone preferably at a lower score that I can help out, allowing me to learn through explanation. Someone with a grasp on LG or RC would also be fantastic, as I usually do quite well on LR but struggle on LG and RC.

I've been studying for the LSAT for several months now. The section that is the most inconsistent for me is LG-- sometimes, when the games are relatively easier, I'll fly through them and get them all correct. Other times, if they're more difficult, I will get seriously frustrated and mess up that game OR I can overcome it and get the questions related to that game correct. It's really no telling.

I tried to do the foolproof method to fix this issue. I think I've foolproofed at least 15 whole sections of LG already, and those games I can get -0 in, no problem. But every single time I do a new section and a game is harder than usual, I will completely mess up the whole section. When I go back and do it again-- even without reviewing it or watching the video-- I will be able to fly through it with no incorrect answers. I know this is a strange problem, one that I'm assuming comes from test-taking anxiety, but does anyone have any advice on how to handle it? Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi all, does anyone know how the refund option works? I'm taking the Jan test and am also thinking about registering for the Feb test in case I don't feel good about my score after taking the Jan test. Do you know how much I would get refunded for if I withdraw before the deadline?

How can I tell what type of fire "maintenance burns" is referring to?

Happy New Years to everyone! I realize that I haven't created a discussion post for awhile and rather than hold a webinar ( as I know alot of people are very busy with the holidays just winding up) I decided to create a Reading Comprehension post focusing on one aspect of Reading Comp, which people can use at their own pace/time.

My LSAT journey has been a long one but I have found that my biggest improvement in RC came as a result of three major things:

Changing how I read the passages/Approach to the section

Changing how I reviewed, I found reviewing consistently with a small group to be most beneficial for me, as well as establishing a wrong answer journal and a better BR template

And finally, the topic of this discussion post, which is changing how I approach the questions.

Rather than just provide you blanket advice, I took a RC section (PT 58) and wrote out a Google Doc which, while it does provide you general tips, shows you how to confidently and efficiently tackle each question and tries to put you in the mindset of what a high scorer is thinking as they approach the questions rather than just tell you why answer choice B is right and answer choice E is wrong.

For maximum benefit I recommend taking PT 58 as a prep test first, or at least the RC section. After you have completed the section BR your usual way. Then, take a look at the Google Doc to compare your approach. For reference, on this particular RC section I scored -1 timed and -0 on BR. This is my "average" RC score ( which can range from -0 to -4) depending on how the section balances out in difficulty in comparison to the other sections.

Here is a link to the Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E0LP49UXvYYm-nPNx8x9qk0KxdQ-9pCp1kfSshB8RBM/edit?usp=sharing

I'm looking for a video about using the framework. I can't seem to find it, can someone point me in the right direction? I've already looked at the Causation/Correlation videos. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Now that it is 2 weeks officially until the 2021 LSAT, I was wondering if anyone knows when we are able to select our time slot and how we go about doing that ie. what website?

Also what website do we go to, to access the Flex on the day of? Do they send you an email with instructions prior to it?

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to 7Sage and have previously been studying with The LSAT Trainer. While the LSAT trainer is fantastic, my logic games still need work!

Do you all have any tips for blind review of logic games? I have jumped right into the Logic Games section of the 7Sage syllabus, however, I made sure to watch J.Y's explanation of blind review. I understand how blind review may be applied to logical reasoning, but is there anything in particular you all do when blind reviewing logic games?

So far I have been making sure to think about my reasoning/process for each question during blind review. Any extra ideas to practice during blind review of logic games would be appreciated!

Hey 7sagers,

I will be reapplying to law school this year. I like my previous personal statement, however, there are some changes I will be making.

Admissions counselors recommend not submitting the same exact personal statement twice and I will not be doing that, but i am wondering how much one is expected to change their personal statement when reapplying? Also, any recommendations of editing services?

Thank you!

I will give a gist about myself and hopefully you might find me a beneficial study partner.

I am a non traditional applicant (8 years out) and I have taken the exam 2x with my last score at 150. I am PTing in the mid 150s and looking to get somewhere in the 160s . Would like to have a study partner who can commit to 2x week (once during the weekday and 1 weekend day). Preferably someone who is Pting 155 or higher looking to get 160+. My strength is LG than LR than RC. I am ok with zoom or FT.

Hi! I wanted to see if anyone wanted to create a group chat on WhatsApp or GroupMe or something to just keep each other accountable/talk about our studying? I am planning on taking in August or September and have only done light studying in the past, but now am getting more intense in my studying. My diagnostic was in the 150s and my goal score is in the mid to high 160s if that puts into perspective my goals, but I think it would be even neater to have this chat have people with diverse goals and scoring.

Either message me or reply to this forum and we can work out a way to create a chat!

(EDIT: A GroupMe has been formed! I've been DMing the link to everyone saying they want to join, if i missed you or if you would like to join as well here it is: https://groupme.com/join_group/65087898/UQixp43e)

Sometimes I hit 170/173/174, other times I hit 164-167. Would like to stabilize this and improve my scores so that they're consistently 170+ (preferably 172 or 173+). Looking for a study buddy who is in a similar situation!

Will somebody tell me how long they spend on each set of problem sets with five questions? I go through them once as fast as i can. Relax for a couple minutes, then dive into a deep analysis of the entire problem starting with the stimulus. I then write down why each problem is either right, or wrong, and determine the correct answer in this manner. Then i watch the explanation videos for the ones i got wrong, and the ones i had initial trouble on the first time through. This tends to take me anywhere from 20-45 minutes for each problem set, depending on its difficulty.

Does anybody else utilize this method?

I am looking for a tutor to help me with logic games and the rest of the sections on the LSAT (LR and RC). The tutor that I have now is not responsive at all and I am looking for a tutor to help me. I am starting from scratch as if I do not know anything about the lsat. I am hoping to take the April lsats. Therefore I am looking for a tutor who is available twice a week until the April test date.

Hello everyone,

I have been a 7sage member for a while but haven't even gone through the CC. I am a full time Electrical Engineering student and have a few jobs on campus, so I usually would be so overloaded with work that I keep pushing studying for the LSAT. Though now I am pretty much free with winter break, and my upcoming semester is very light as I am done with all my engineering courses.

I have been having a real hard time the last 2 weeks sticking to studying. I attend a pretty tough college so studying a minimum of 6 hours a day up to 14 hours is not strange to me and I have the stamina for it but focusing on the LSAT has been a struggle.

Anyone have any advice on how to become consistent, and stick to it? Anything you did to hold yourself accountable?

I feel odd asking as I know its a "motivation" thing. But I really am in for the hours to study, though every time I plan a study session I either just get distracted with random things or something gets in the way.

Thank youu in advance
