Hey Everyone,

Starting to fool proof logic games and have a few questions:

For example, when you read a question and you already know in your head that the answer is C. Do you go through the motions to confirm C?

Look forward to your responses.

Hey there 7 Sager's!

I'm sure there are a handful of you out there that are in a similar conundrum as I am. I took the LSAT in October, scored below the median at my target school, however I am retaking in January. Should I apply prior to taking in January, or hold off until I get my January score back? My concern is being rejected because of my first take. Is there an option to submit an application and attach addendum explaining that I will be retaking in January and for them to hold off on reviewing my application? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

To Philosophy-major, Com-sci major, and Law school students,

I just finished watching the first videos of "Introduction to Logic" section of the course. I wonder if I should take Symbolic Logic as a course offered at my college. As far as my research goes, Symbolic Logic might be great for the LSAT, for future law-related endeavors (since I wish to go to law school), and computer-science-related endeavors (since I am a com-sci major), but I'm not sure to what percentage the course might help with those above it is purported to help, and if the percentage of helpfulness is low, then whether I should self-study those parts where the course is helpful.

Thank you!

Someone please tell me why A is correct.

I think SoA is incorrect because: let's pretend there are two subdivisions, A and B. Let's say sub A contained houses of $1mil and sub B had houses costing half million. Let's say someone like Bill Gates lived in sub A. $1 mil is drastically lower than what he can afford, but de facto segregation between sub a and sub B still exists.

Please explain AC A. Thank you.

I was reading online that Georgetown guarantees to respond to Early Decision applicants in less than 4 weeks after they apply. How does the interview fit into this timeline?

in other words, does that just mean they will tell you if you get an interview within 4 weeks? Or will they interview you, and then also tell you if you get in.

thank you!!

Hey, everyone! I have set aside 10 more Practice Tests to go before my actual test. I am contemplating whether to add in some old tests, such as 56th or rather stick with the latest 10. I have certainly practiced with old tests in the beginning of my prep, but now I'm in the 70th-80th... I know No. 88 brought in some oldies... so I am curious whether I should refresh my memory on the scope of the old PTs. Thank you!!!!

Hi guys Im just looking for some advice here on where to go next, Im registered for the January exam but im still struggling with my timed for RC and LR. I do fine untimed but times it almost seems s impossible. i had a breakdown earlier and was just crying because i have been studying for about 9 months now and I need to apply to this cycle. So I am under a significant amount of stress. Where do I go from here? I know I should keep practicing my section timed but should I do the timed sections separately? And for RC how should I continue with reading the passage in a more timely manner as well as answering the questions.

Basically how to get speed without sacrificing my accuracy? Also anyone know anything that helps boost confidence I feel as if this exam is beating me up every day.

Anyone please help me with advice or personal experience please I'm so desperate.

Hi the problem sets that we can pick from and create on 7sage is there an option of printing them. ??

Hi! Once my November LSAT score is released, I'm planning to re-apply to multiple schools after only being waitlisted or rejected by them last cycle.

I'm currently revising a new PS that mostly dwells on some life experiences/changes the past 12 months. Most advice I've read says that I should submit a new PS, which makes sense. However, advice on how to tie the two together, if at all, is hard to find!

Obviously, they still have my old PS personal statement on file, but how much should I reference the topics/ideas from my old PS within my new PS?

To put it more generally, should I assume that they'll consider my new PS in tandem with my old PS, or only refer to it if they have any questions?

I’ve been wondering about this for a while and google isn’t giving me an answer I like haha. Anyone have any thoughts?

Can anyone give me their best tips on how to do well on RC? It is constantly the one section that is dragging me down. Some days I can go -5 and others it is -10+. It is super frustrating. I am planning on taking the LSAT in January one last time. I typically read each paragraph and make short 3-4 word summaries on scratch paper. I try to piece it together and analyze the structure. I honestly sometimes just don't understand some of the passages. I struggle more so with the law passages and science. I am Pting between a 159-163. My LR and LG have improved a ton. Goal is a 157+ on test day.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to go about sending a school an additional LOR after being wait listed, if the school only accepts 2 LOR's via LSAC and you sent two with your original application?

Thanks!

McGeorge school of Law is holding a mock LSAT. I called signed up and they said they are one of the few places that can do it. They also said they have no idea which test will be used and they are working with a specific section of LSAC people. I signed up because I think it would be great experience to maybe get some nerves out and really simulate the whole process. But its a 3 hr drive and i just dont wanna go only to get a test ive already done. Any thoughts? Its an official event if you just type in Mock LSAT December 14th Mcgeorge in google.

I'm going to be on two long flights at the end of this month and am planning on running through lots of printed logic games. However, I'm not sure the best way to go about reviewing the games since I'll be unable to digitally access the answers (and explanations) to the games while on the flight.

Has anyone found an effective review method for LG that doesn't require the internet? I suppose I could try to simply print off answer sheets for each relevant LSAT, but wasn't sure if there was any other option. Thanks!

I almost always fall for this rule/time sinks when seeing this in LG, I can never draw out this rule intuitively. Some examples:

9.3.1 At least twice as many roses as orchids.

27.2.3 Exactly twice as many of the film buffs see the H film as see the F film.

32.3.2 At lease as many F novels as R novels are selected.

At least twice the amount of A as B

Can someone please kindly tell me how to understand them properly and efficiently? Thank you so much!

Hi all,

I never knew this day would be coming, but time really does fly. I started my LSAT journey back in Jan 2017 and it's been hell of a ride. I started with a 130 (no joke) and I've been able to improve my score drastically and I don't think it's sugar coating it when I say it's because of the help I got from the 7sage community.

Yesterday, I had my Penn Law (or Penn Carey Law) interview and after I was done, I couldn't help but think back to how I got to that point in my life. It's always been a dream for me to go to Penn Law (due to my strong interest in business law) and just the idea of doing an interview was surreal to me. What I really want to say to you all is never give up and pursue your goal. I know this has been said many many times, but keep enduring while you're studying for the LSAT or writing your personal statement and you'll eventually get there. I've had many many many sleepless nights not just studying for the LSAT, but also putting together a strong application with the personal statement, LORs, why X essays, resume, etc. But seriously it was all worth it in the end. And if I could go back in time, I'd do the same thing.

I hope I have more interviews coming my way, but in the meantime, let me know if you guys want any advice regarding LSAT, admissions process, etc. Would be more than happy to answer questions. Thank you again 7sage community!

Anyone know of any good audiobook resources that would be worthwhile? I spent 1.5-2 hrs in the car commuting every day and figured I might as well is that time to “study” and learn/reinforce...

Thanks!

Does anyone have advice on the Columbia law fun facts section? Can anyone provide feedback below?

I was held back a year in Kindergarten because I struggled learning how to count but as an adult I ended up becoming a CPA Accountant.

While Vietnamese is one of my native languages, I feel more comfortable speaking Spanish than Vietnamese when speaking in professional and academic settings.

I don't watch tv often but when I do its either Keeping up with Kardashians or documentaries like PBS Frontline.

Hi! Wondering how to study differently for my third time (technically fourth time but I took July and cancelled it because I ended up getting the same exact score as my second LSAT). I have already taken essentially every relevant practice test in the year + that I studied, and I don't necessarily need to review the basics (I have a thorough understanding of the test concepts).

I am starting studying again in January and taking the April 2020 test. I think I need to put less pressure on myself and focus on self care more this time around, because I consistently practiced 5 points higher than what I score on test day. But I am just not sure how to study this time around besides just taking practice tests like every weekend and doing a really good job on blind review.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

I took the November 2019 LSAT last Monday the 25th at John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Everything seemed fine; we all completed the test and were in and out in about 4 hours. Nothing went wrong with the test center or the tablets as far as I'm aware. Yesterday afternoon, I received an email from LSAC with the subject line "LSAT Test Center Reassignment." The email says that since I was unable to take the test I registered for, my make-up exam will occur this Sunday Dec 8th at John Marshall Law School (same test center as before). I checked my LSAC account and it, too, says that I'm registered for the December 8th LSAT and that I can print my admission ticket. I've tried calling LSAC multiple times and every time I've been on hold for over an hour because all of their lines are busy.

Has this happened to anyone else over the past couple days? I'm so confused as to why LSAC thinks I was unable to take the exam on the scheduled date. I already spent a lot of time and money traveling to Chicago for last week's exam, and I'll be in a really tough spot if I have to re-take it this Sunday.

If your gpa is above 75th for all t14 schools, what is a good goal lsat score that would give you solid chances of getting into at least 1 T14 with some money?

Should I put my LSAC calculated GPA on my resume or my undergraduate institution's calculation if it differs?

Hi, I know that older exams (pre J07) differ in structure etc. How does one incorporate them into your studying? Should you treat them like real PTs but take the score with a grain of salt? Or....

I've got a Google Calendar where I log my study times. Would love to share it with whomever, so we can make sure we're both hitting our goals and see an overview of what we are reviewing!
