Hi everyone!

I am a single mom studying for the LSAT and I currently cannot afford to pay for professional revisions or help with my personal statement.

Is anyone willing to take a look at it and provide some feedback?

Anything helps! Thanks!

is there a specific strategy on how to map LR questions when taking flex?

I seem to always get confused when I mark it up at random.

Hello Sagers,

I am currently going -7/8 on LR and I wanted to know how long it took y’all to get to -2/3? And if you have any tips on how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

I understand there was a pending case against LSAC to have the logic games removed and that the LSAT-flex currently consists of 3 as opposed to original 4 sections. Is the LSAT-flex representative of the test we should expect to see the future or merely an accommodative form given our current environment (covid)?

I do have an active Ultimate+ membership. I have reached out to 7sage, but I just want to ask and see if maybe anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I've never had to link a PrepPlus account (additional cost) to watch any video explanations before; my Ultimate+ always worked fine. I am mainly looking at logic games, which are supposedly all accessible w this membership.

So previously I've used the same picture of myself that looks the same as I do most of the time, with no facial hair. However, since this is my third and last LSAT I'm taking (January 2021), I decided to grow a playoffs beard exactly one month before the test date. I can't find an option to upload a new pic, so I was wondering if anyone knew if LSAC would be fun haters like they usually are and decide that I don't look enough like the picture/that the pic isn't recent enough. I'm prepared to shave it if I have to but now I like the beard and would rather not. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

Will law schools care if I take the Jan LSAT and apply in October. Would it look like I was trying to avoid the longer LSAT and would that look bad?

Hi All! I have seen a lot of people post seeking advice on their personal situations with the LSAT (to which many 7Sagers have provided great responses) and I have recently found myself in a bit of a pickle that leaves me wanting to do the same. This month marks a full year of me studying for the LSAT. I have increased my score from the high 140s to the high 150s (last three tests were each a 157) and my ultimately goal was to break into the 160s and ideally to have a 165+ score as my GPA isn't the greatest and I am really concerned about receiving money from the schools that I apply to. I recently had an unfortunate family situation that cropped up leading me to change my originally scheduled Jan test to April and am now facing some familial pressure and personal doubt about that decision. I worry that since I have already put a full year into this and have yet to break 160, am I just kidding myself in believing that I can do this by April? I already decided to extend my gap years and work full time so it doesn't really impact my application cycle to take the test in April as opposed to January, but I do still have a chance to sign up for the Feb administration. Should I just bite the bullet and take it asap as I feel like I'm losing the will to keep going or should I keep trying to break 160? I'm just feeling burned out and in self doubt at the moment and any advice from people that know what it's like to dedicate time to studying for this test like you guys is appreciated! (I also work full time by the way and unfortunately am not in a financial position to quit my job).

What school(s) can one get in with a 149/150 score?

I am a bit confused with PT2.S4.Q14. This was the logic I worked out for each of the answers:

A) This would support the argument, as it would show that there is a causation between the change in definition to only including heart attacks and strokes

B)the cities financial properties are irrelevant to the argument

C)"Expert opinion" is not relevant in this argument

D) Other cities opinions are not relevant in this argument

E) Last year's count does not necessarily reflect the count of this year. it's possible that this year the count was lower

The correct answer was E. I understand that both A and E aren't perfect solutions (otherwise this would be a sufficient assumption), but i do not understand why E is a stronger choice than A. Thoughts?

I have always been an awful test taker, regardless of the subject or however knowledgeful I am in those topics. I would rather speak in front of the class then take a test. With this test it has only increased my anxiety levels, has anyone or does anyone have any tips to combat this feeling. I feel that it is truly hurting my score and in thinking that i need a certain score to get into the my school of choosing is further amplifying that. Please help, I am taking the LSAT in 2 weeks, which is not helping :(!!!!!

So right now I'm averaging around 17 (-8/-9) per LR section. I always BR at -2/-3 and when I look back a majority of my errors are STUPID. For example, one time I read an SA stimulus as an NA so obviously got that one wrong.

I was wondering if anyone has advice to maximize an LR score at this stage in my practice? I need to be at 20+ for the flex (in 2 weeks.) Right now I'm planning to do a flex test a day in the 80s and drilling LR questions from the 70's - as I have heard they are tougher.

I know it's entirely doable for me since the core understanding is there, I am just experiencing superficial problems that likely have a lot to do with: skipping strategy, translating stimulus' (I always only get problems wrong when I don't understand the argument, rarely for lack of reasoning), AND TIMING!!

I'm sure many have been in my boat before, I would love to chat with anyone who has advice or who is writing in January and has the same problem! These points are the difference between the 150s and 160s for me, so I'm desperate!

Hi all. Hope y'all are well.

Like a spectacular idiot, I underreported my GPA on the resume I submitted to law schools.

Not by much, just 0.05

I know they will see my real GPA on my transcripts, and I assume they will consider that number over the one I misreported.

Any chance I need to do something like email them a corrected version of my resume with my real GPA or am I being neurotic?

Thanks buds!

Help! The explanation mentions that option D is the correct answer. I get that, however, I don't understand how the answer helps the colonials assert their power. In showing a play that depicts friendship, how does that help them assert power?

Took the LSAT in October, and got a 149. My average practice test was a 151. During my first test, it was a very time consuming part of the year for my job. Recently joined 7 sage, and looking to improve a few points for the January LSAT.

Yes I should have started studying a year ago. Curious to what ideas are out there to achieve this bump in a few weeks. Not looking for a quick fix, but just the best way to pepare with the time left.

Appreciate the advice in advance!

(Hope this post is allowed.) I need a private tutor to help me jump from the 159-low 160s to at least a 170. Please send tutor reccs.

Hi! I have noticed that when I take PTs, I struggle with changing gears when sections change. What I mean by that is if the first section is LR, I am able to get into the swing of LR but then when it switches to RC for the next section, I'm slow at getting my brain to read and answer RC questions.

I notice that I do worse on sections as the test goes on. This isn't an endurance issue because I'm not tired or want to stop, I'm just not able to think as quickly.

Any advice for what people do or how to get over this?

I don't understand how answer choice A helps the argument, can someone please explain?

I've done all the LG Problem Sets of the Curriculum, as well as all the problems before PT36. My problem is on the actual LSAT, I was too slow, causing me to guess questions (and get them wrong).

Going forward, what's the best approach to improve speed on LG? Should I:

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.
