I have registered for the July LSAT-FLEX. What would be the last day to withdraw with coupon? I am considering withdrawal because I am still in 60% of myt core curriculum and didn't fell prepared. I have also registered for the August test. Any recommendation that I should still take the July test just to get first-hand experience for the test?

Hello,

This may have been touched on in the explanation videos somewhere but I must have overlooked it or something..

For LR, how do we use subscripts? Some of the explanation videos began using them and they appear useful so I would like to begin implementing it but I am not sure how it works, any clarity would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to an example video (question 3): https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/quiz-on-drawing-valid-conclusions-with-translations-2-answers/

Only roses are red. Only thorny things are red. There's a red thing in the flower garden.

Red->Roses

Red->Thorny things

Red (Subscript) Flower Garden ?

Not to come off dumb...in regards to LG-what does JY mean by memorize the sets? I am just beginning the LG section and he says this in the first couple of logic set questions we review. Does he mean literally write it over and over without even having the stimulus up? Or does he mean just drilling the same logic game over and over until you're under 5 minutes. I'm sorry just confused and want to do what he is telling me to do lol

#help I've been hitting the mid 150's and what I've noticed is that I am missing all and I mean all the V. High questions and none of V. Low questions. What am I missing? I am shooting for the 160's (going to my state school) and while my score will get me in - I want to hit the 160's. I'm just not able to make the move up. Any suggestions?? TIA

In questions where it is appears that there is a Sufficiency/Necessary issue, are there examples of questions where the SA/NA answer is a trap? I find myself spending way too much time trying to decipher if the stimulus is mistaking sufficiency for necessity or mistaking necessity for sufficiency even when there is only one Answer Choice involving SA/NA.

Does anyone have an example where the distinction matters? My gut tells me to recognize the cookie cutters where you can find them and move on.

For example in PT 80 - Sec 4 - Q16, I knew B was right but for some reason was thinking the order of SA/NA in AC B matters (even though it does not) which made me think that maybe there was a sneaky trap (though I knew there really wasn't).

I go -1 or -2 on LR so don't think this really a foundations issue, more of a confidence thing. Thanks for any thoughts!

Hi 7Sage folks!

Does anyone have any recommendations for LSAT tutors? Or tutors are any of you taking on new clients? I'm taking the LSAT flex in July and although I'm doing very well on my PTs (getting about 167-169). I would love to work with a tutor to hopefully boost my score a little so that on actual test day I'm able to bring my best game.

Let me know! Thanks!

I have been taking older PTs in order to preserve the newer ones for when I am closer to test date, but out of curiosity, I tried a a more recent test. Here's what happened:

PT38, I scored a160 (171BR)

...5 days later...

I took PT69 and scored a 166 (169 BR)

They were both timed. In fact, I took PT69 under the strictest conditions I've exercised yet.

Now, I know a 6 point jump after 6 days isn't due to some random leap of development. I am genuinely curious if there have been any known changes that might make the newer tests a little "easier"? I didn't get a sense for this while I was actually testing (other than maybe LG being a little more clear).

Perhaps does this mean I should focus more on recent PTs, or conversely, I should focus on the older ones in order to potentially make more gains by challenging myself harder?

Hi. I am currently registered to take the LSAT July 13. This was a last minute decision, as I originally planned on taking the LSAT in late August. I registered for the July LSAT out of fear of not receiving a score back quickly enough from a late August LSAT for sending my application in as early as possible (I would like to get into a t14 school). However, I am in a course that running on a schedule that assumes I am taking the August LSAT, and as it stands: a) I have only taken three practice tests and the highest score I have gotten is a 164 and b) I am shooting for a 170. I am worried that I will not get the score I would like on the July LSAT and will have to take again in August. My question is--- do I withdraw my registration from the July LSAT and get more practice in before I take the LSAT? Or, do I go ahead and take the LSAT in July, hoping for a score that would allow me to get my application in as soon as schools begin accepting applications? The crux of my question is getting a good score and maybe having to take LSAT twice/getting application in as early as possible.

Thanks if you've made it this far!!!

MY THOUGHTS: It says that A is correct and I dont understand why? I get that it is elimination, but if Quasi has one that is higher than it wouldnt it be B? I am seeing that it doesnt say that four is the highest, that we shoudn't assume, but when you look at question A it says that Nice has two stars and headstrong has three stars making it that Nice is less that headstrong so that to me means that rating four must be the highest. So how can quasi be four and then headspace be three? It also says in the rule explanation that quasi cannot recive a rating of just 1 or two stars. I guess i am asking when they dont tell you what rating is the highest how can you know which anwser is right when they give you two possible anwsers? I am deff overthinking but just need someone to step by step clarify why it is question A!

ACTUAL QUESTION: A critic has prepared a review of exactly six music CDs- headstrong, In Flight, Nice, Quasi, Reunion, and Sounds Good. Each CD received a rating of either one, two, three or four stars, with each CD receiving exactly one rating. Although the ratings were meant to be kept secret untill the review was published, the following facts have been leaked the the pubilc.

RULES:

For each ratings, at least one but no more than two of the CDs received that rating.

Headstrong recived exactly one more star than NICE did.

Either Headstrong or Reunion received the same number of stars as In Flight did.

At most one CD. received the same number of stars as In Flight did.

At most one CD received more than stars than Quasi did.

Which one of the following could be an accurate matching of ratings to the CDS that received those ratings?

ANSWERS:

(A) One star: In Flight, Reunion; Two stars: Nice; Three stars: Headstrong;Four stars: Quasi, Sounds good.

(B) One star: In Flight, Reunion: Two stars: Quasi, Sounds Good: Three stars: Nice; Four Stars: Headstrong.

(C) One star: Nice; Two stars: Headstrong; three stars: In Flight, Sounds good;Four stars:Quasi, Reunion.

(D) One Star: Nice, Sounds good: Two stars: In Flight, Reunion; Three stars:Quasi; Four stars: headstrong

(E) One star: Sounds good; Two stars:Reunion;Three stars: Nice, Quasi; Four stars:Headstrong, In flight.

During my drills, I was really confused by the following sentence that I made up myself.

(I knew it might not make sense in scientific terms, please bear with me.)

"All genetic material is contributed by every female gamete."

Thanks!

I took the May LSAT-flex and, at the time, couldn't find any rules in regards to whether using control F during the reading comp was permissible, so I decided against doing so just to be safe. I will be retaking in August, and was wondering if anyone has used control F or knows if that's allowed? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have roughly 3-4 hours per day, 5-6 days a week to dedicate to the LSAT.

My diagnostic was 144 with -11LR, -20LG, -15LR, -10 RC

I would love to write the October LSAT and apply for the 2021 cycle. I need a 162-165 for the school I want to get into.

If you were me, how would you approach the CC?

I started Mike Kim's Lsat trainer because I heard good things and am 1/3 through. Should I continue the trainer and hit 7 sage hard, or finish the trainer, then 7sage.

Is this enough time?

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated?

Hello 7 Sage community,

Is there anyone that would be willing to work on reviewing LR sections from the 50's and 60's?

I am looking for someone to verbalize reasoning structure with to help build good habits. I lose mental discipline sometimes and get lured into AC's that isn't affecting the heart of the reasoning in critical arguments. My tutor forces me to articulate this when reviewing and I've found it helpful to find holes in my approach.

Please let me know if interested. My schedule is flexible.

Thank you!

HI Guys,

I am a little bit iffy on what to write about for my personal statement. Would that be more of a resume about why you want to go to law school, or tell a story about yourself? Currently, really confused. SOS.

How would you diagram “the only thing you need for A is B ” and “the only way to have C is through D”?

Are these two the same statements?

I’m starting to feel like, at least the first one, is a bi-conditional. Thoughts?

I got 7sage mainly for logic games. And between now and my exam, I dont have time to go through the entire LR curriculum so Im wondering if theres any specific topics i should study in particular? I already have a solid LR foundation and do relatively well on LR sections but if theres any popular "must study" topics in the curriculum ill definitely check them out.

Hi! I'm taking the July flex. I've read a lot complaints about the test being proctored poorly and about proctors requiring things that seem a bit impossible, like keeping the computer/webcam far enough away that the proctor can see everything that I'm writing on my scratch paper and and also my face. With my computer, I have to put the computer far across the table (too far to be able to read anything or even type) in order to show both my face and an entire sheet of scratch paper). I've also read about other strange issues like being interrupted for looking too closely at the screen?

Does anyone have any advice about what I can do to help make sure the flex goes smoothly for me? Has anyone said anything to their proctors before the test to lay out any sort of ground rules and expectations? I'm also wondering if anyone bought a different webcam setup to mitigate any of this? Thanks in advance! Just feeling a bit jittery after reading all these horror stories.

Hi,

The answer here was B, but I chose D. Can anyone help explain to me why B is right and D is wrong? For context:

Here was my reasoning for why I thought D was right:

I thought that passage A would agree-- on line 13, he describes an argument that explains that progressive taxes make rich pay more, he never disputes that fact, and later on in the last paragraph, he even implies that progressive makes rich pay more by talking about how progressive gives rich more incentives to try to cheat the system than flat tax would.

In addition, I thought passage B would disagree-- on line 34, he says that progressive treats all taxpayers equally.

Here was my reasoning for why I thought B was wrong:

I knew for sure that passage B would agree on this issue (line 56). However, I wasn't sure if passage A would agree or disagree since in the last paragraph of passage A, it seems that passage A is saying that MOST rich people in flat tax systems (line 27-- denoted by the word "usually") pay the same as people in progressive tax systems. In addition, the fact that rich people in flat tax systems, without any apparent tax dodging, pay about the same as progressively taxed rich people, shows that they would normally pay less had the progressively taxed rich people had not dodged. Thus, this COULD mean that SOME rich people in progressive tax systems still pay more than rich people in flat tax systems, making passage A a bit ambiguous on this issue.

#Help

Thanks!

Best regards

I have heard that law schools like to see one good score rather than retakes, but have also heard that it can be good to send in a better score after your first one to the schools you apply to. I know it's better to apply earlier, so I'm wondering if it would be more beneficial to take the LSAT in October and apply in November and then also take the November LSAT, or to just take the November one and apply in December so I have an extra month to study and only one score?
