Hi everyone,

On Wednesday, May 27, at 9 p.m. ET, I'll host a webinar with Gail Dauer, the former first reader of all applications at the University of Michigan School of Law and the newest member of the 7Sage Admissions team! Gail will shed light on how Michigan’s admissions process worked, when she gave files with low numbers extra consideration, and what made her pause as she read files with high numbers. You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.

:warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

:cookie: After the webinar, we’ll award one attendee a free Edit Once (see https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll).

:warning: The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

→ Please register for the webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_d1AMlym0S12cEjki6rgAVQ

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

I'm a little bit unsure if I should risk it at this point (probably not).

The unit next to me is super loud, from crazy loud music that I can hear all over my unit, and someone yelling or fighting anytime of the day. Been using noise cancelling headphones while studying or working. Some of the people at our floor decided to report them but the issue got more worse after all the complaints. In addition, my state just started slowly reopening and the construction next to our building just resume this week.I kept on pushing back my exam because of this issue. Originally signed for April, then switched it to June, now I'm signed up for July.

Sighed I just need a space to vent, hoping for better days ahead. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during this times :) Happy Studying!

What is the most effective way to approach flawed reasoning questions?

Any tips would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

I took about a dozen practice LSATs in my last prep course and want to upload those test results to the analytics tool here so I can better pinpoint where I'm going wrong. How can I input those results without having to take the entire test over again on 7sage's site?

Will any college accept my July 2020 LSAT score for August 2020 admissions?! Has this ever been done before? I understand this is a long shot. Looking to apply to the same school which I went to undergrad

What’s up guys, I’m planning on taking the October LSAT and am looking for a committed and disciplined study partner! I’m shooting for a 170+, have a goal of consistently studying at least 20 hours a week, and live on the west coast. If you’re interested in studying together hit me up and let’s get after it!

I picked A. Correct answer B. I don't see how the current groups give enough info to draw a conclusion.

JY states that the group of "people rely on the web when attempting to diagnose medical conditions" falls in to the group of "people who browse the web for medical information". True. But I don't think this matters?

We need to make an appeal that the first group, the people who rely on the web, will be fooled by the quackery. It's possible that the only people that group of people rely on the web only contains people with a medical background, as well as, people who can always discriminate between scientific valid theory and quackery, in which case, B doesn't assist at all in proving the conclusion because they are relying exclusively on scientifically valid information.

I see another necessary assumption being something that needs to eliminate this subgroup, and make it not possible to exist.

A was the best choice from here.

Follow up - does "typically" have a definition on the LSAT?

So I decided to stop studying for the LSAT on July 2019 and focus on my school. Now I am going to restart. I was not doing that good actually so I want to redo the whole CC. Any advice on how to do this and in general any tips for restarting ?

I am planning on applying this fall for fall 2021. I am planning my classes for my last two semesters, and am finding that with the load I would greatly benefit from taking one of the classes the summer after I graduate. I walk at graduation but of course am not completely done until that class ends in the summer. Can I do that for law school if I want to start in the fall? Or do I have to be completely finished in the spring. Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, all!

After some fits and starts and a few delays, I'm finally signed up, ready, and excited to take the June LSAT Flex test. And as I begin practice testing in earnest, I'm left with one question: Are Flex test takers able to use an ink pen during the test?

I ask because when I'm able to draw up my Logic Games game boards using a pen instead of a pencil, I find my game boards are tidier and that makes getting through the games simpler. I consistently score three or four points better on Logic Games when I'm able to use a pen.

I understand LSAC provided an ink pen to those who took the digital LSAT and I'm hopeful those of us taking the Flex test will also be able to use one. But before I start practicing with a pen, I thought I should ask the group to see if May Flex test takers were able to use a pen or if anyone has information I don't.

Thanks in advance!

did anyones study schedule randomly change ?? it added stuff to the prior week and im confused on what to do now?

Hi,

So I got this question wrong because D looked wrong to me (D was actually the right answer).

The stimulus is saying that reduced speed limits do not protect the environment because it makes it so that cars spend more time spewing exhaust on the road.

To me, this meant that the author was assuming that if you spend more time on the road driving slowly, you will spew more exhaust (or the same) than if you were driving faster

In order for this to be true, time has to play a big factor in the amount of exhaust spewed; but is it the most important (which is the meaning of "primary")? And what if it only determines a big part of the emission spewed but not the "total" emission? I feel like the argument would still stand

This is why “total emission” and “primarily” seem like logical jumps for me

Can anyone show me the flaw in my reasoning that makes D correct?

So I've been working on really getting good at recognizing all the potential numerical distributions in certain logic games and I wanna know how some of you are going about dealing with them. When exactly is the best time to go about figuring out all of the potential distributions? Or better, how do you know when finding out the distributions will actually prove as beneficial and not a waste of time? Does anyone think it is never a waste of time to do them every time possible (if you're really good at logic games)? Powescore says it's a critical tool which I agree with but how consistent are you supposed to be with using this "critical tool".

I'm not sure which LSAT type I should be preparing for - I live in NYC, the epicenter of Covid19. What do you all think? LSAC hasn't responded to my emails.

Im assuming after May all the Flexs will count towards the policy. What about may specifically? Dave Killoran said its not counting towards the limit but like I dont see the official information that confirms it?

Aiming for 162, is it possible to increase my score by 7 points by the June test? I have gone through the core curriculum 3 times and have been stuck around 155 for weeks on the PTs. How can I improve? Should I invest in an lsat book or another online program? Average -4 LG, -7/-8 LR, -11 RC.

Hi Everyone,

I'm supposed to start law school in New York City in the Fall, but I'm genuinely confused about what I should do now. The idea of paying a ton of money to potentially be taking online Zoom classes seems like such a waste.

I'm curious what other people's thoughts are who are in similar situations?

Just for transparency, I have been in the work force and out of undergrad for 4 years, so I do have the safe option of just staying at my job. I know it is a different situation for those of you coming straight out of undergrad.

Thanks!

Is there anyone planning to take the LSAT this November? I have just recently started my studying journey and was wondering if anyone would like to start a study group via Zoom/Skype/Email?

Hi,

The answer here was D. However, I thought D here was wrong because the stimulus never explicitly mentioned anything about "total" emissions-- it just said that the cars spend more time spewing emissions. Can anyone explain to me why D is right?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Hi all, I’m considering purchasing the LSAT Prep Plus from LSAC. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding it? Has it helped you? Do you have any criticisms? TIA!

Good Morning Everyone,

I am taking the July LSAT, and I remember in one of the videos JY discussed in a rc passage explanation that you should do a warm up before doing questions. I was wondering if anyone does a warm up routine before the LSAT, and what should it be?

Hope everyone is doing well! Not sure if this has been discussed but I notice certain patterns/trends that are helpful in making a jump from 140 to 150 and I’m curious if any of you could share tips/insights that helped get into the 160’s and more specifically 165+ range. Aside from LG which I believe fool proof is key, study tips for LR and RC that helped with this would would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm looking for a study group in EST with a goal score of 170+. Please let me know if you are interested.

Should I do a Prep-test throughout studying (i.e. halfway through or 1/3 way through) to gauge my growth and see what I still need to focus on or should I leave them all till I'm finished studying? What are your thoughts?

Hello all! I am looking for a LSAT study buddy, a study group and people to share resources with. I recently started my studying journey. I am aiming for the Oct or Nov LSAT but it all depends on when I feel ready. I am open to Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc. I am in the eastern time zone.
