I am still planning on taking the November LSAT. I know that scores release about 3 weeks after the test. My fall semester officially ends on December 13. Will I have to submit my application with this year’s fall semester included or can I submit my application with the GPA that I currently have (not including my GPA post-fall semester)?

I know your personal statement is supposed to be about you, but the moment that changed my career trajectory (and made me decide to go to law school) is entirely centered around something someone else did. I mentored students and taught civics classes through a nonprofit organization, and one student who spoke to the school board made me realize law/being a voice for others is what I wanted. He did it, but I was there when it happened, worked with him all semester, helped write his speech, etc. I also can talk about how from there I did other things (president of the nonprofit college chapter, joined a volunteer group, advocate locally for communities), but it's still technically something he did that would be the introductory "story". Any advice on if this is okay to write about?

Hi,

I applied to a number of schools last year, and was very excited to receive an offer from a Canadian law school (although it's for the dual JD program). However, I had to decline the offer due to a number of family reasons.

I am applying again this cycle, and I wanted to know if I can apply to the same law school again even though I had to decline their offer during the last cycle?

I struggled with figuring this out when I first started doing logic games so I hope it helps. If it's a grouping game where we are told each element within one category of elements must be played "at least x amount" (or some equivalent statement, and generally it will be 'at least once') it can be made into a chart. This is because with 'at least' there is no limit on how many times each individual game piece can reappear, making them not unique.

I know that you get something like a notebook with some pages and that you can ask for more if need be, but I wanted to know, what are its dimensions roughly? I imagine it's either printer paper size or like those smaller blue booklets they give out on university exams. Thanks!

I do well on most logic games and have also improved in Logical Reasoning. However, I have seen little to no improvement in RC and am unsure of how to accomplish any sense of improvement. Can you please suggest ways in which I can attempt to improve?

I especially encounter this problem when I run into difficult passages which I cannot decipher in the section but also in passages which I think I understand the content but end up having multiple wrong answers in.

Hello everybody!

With a fresh PT just released and LSAT writings around the corner I figure its time to host another public Blind Review seeing as how the video explanations for the questions are not available and there may be some out there who want to do PT 88 before they are released.

I am hosting a blind review session for PT 88 next Saturday at 11 am eastern. There is no need to register just clink on the link provided below at the right time and you'll be in.

We will cover all the sections but history tells me LR will receive the bulk of the attention. The idea is to come into this session as a true blind review, and to get the most out of this session I would suggest that you do not check the answer sheet and bring the questions you are unsure of during the session. I will provide the answers as we go along so if there is a question that you did not flag but got wrong we can address that on the spot.

Here in about 2 weeks, my Starter status will expire and switch to Alum (I think). I'm currently in my admissions cycle and will become a bit more scarce here. I know 7Sage really helped me on this journey, and I don't know that I could have done as well without the program or this supportive community. (3(/p)

To everyone still at it: keep going. There is another side. I have seen it! It's also very stressful, but it's pretty awesome. :)

For those who have been curious, so far, I have 2 acceptances and 4 apps out. One acceptance came with a scholarship, and the other came with a full-ride offer. I hope to come back and update you guys on how it all panned out in the end. Hopefully by February, I'll know for sure.

Keep fighting the good fight, guys! It's worth it.

Hello,

I just got a very short email from LSAC saying that "due to circumstances beyond our control" my test center location has been changed for the October LSAT. The new test center is an hour further away and I registered several months ago (way before the deadline to register). I really don't want the stress and confusion of having to drive an extra hour the morning before the LSAT. Does anyone know why this happened and if it is worth calling them to see if I can change back?

I know so many people on here are scoring 160+, but I just took my first post-CC PT and I feel great. Diagnostic was a 145, scored a 152 on my first test and scored 167 on my BR of that PT. Lots of time until the February test to continue improving, but just feeling excited to finally see some progress and to not have to guess where I'm at based on problem sets!

I'm seeing a lot of LR questions worded with statements like "more likely" or "less likely."

e.g. people with university degrees are more likely to have dogs than cats

Can I interpret this sentence as university degree (positively CORR) dogs? Is there a better way to understand more likely/less likely sentences? Thanks in advance!

Hey, sagers. For those of you over this hump, I'm seeking advice as I approach my retake on Oct. 28. The Sept. test, 88, which just dropped, is basically the only fresh material for me at this point, so I'm glad I'll have the chance to take it this Sunday. But, I've heard it's actually a good idea to refrain from scoring and reviewing the final PT before the real deal because if I do well (yay!) I'll be confident, but if I suck (boo!) I'll be terrified. I retook 87 today, which I haven't spent much time with since June and did OK, so the alternative plan would be to focus on BRing the heck out of that one and spending the rest of the week doing single sections, reviewing my notes and chilling out to get in the right mindset. Please advise if you can. I love 7Sage so much, but I can't wait for this journey to end!

Is the best way to use a tutor to help you Blind Review? Or to review questions after youve already done the Blind Review and that you've gotten wrong/still dont know why its wrong or right.

Anyone whos gotten a tutor, please feel free to share your experiences or what they have done to help you, or if a tutor really helps you at all.

Hey folks - how do you shatter your thinking/intuition that brought you to the wrong answer choice?

Hey guys, could someone help me understand why (e) is the correct answer? I seem to be able to produce at least one possible world in which everyone has flower arrangements with at least one use of lilies in it (U gets the LL block), and in which there are two people with the HR block (U and Z). As far as I can tell, I've got the antecedent setup/questions mostly right. It's just this last question that flummoxes me.

Thank you so much! Sorry for violating any norms here: I just signed up for the course and haven't yet got a sense of the norms yet!

It's been a long journey for me starting from last december when I decided to study for the LSAT. Background on me (hopefully not coming off as whiny), I'm a first-gen post-grad and and am the only person in my family that has ever even attempted to go to law school. Currently, I've been struggling to get a job (to work the year before school) while also trying to finish my LSAT asap before I start working. So I've been on the post-grad-job search-life and the study-for-the-LSAT life for about 5 months and it's been rough. I've tried to educate myself as much as possible in this process on my own and I know how important the LSAT is to get into the schools I want/for scholarships. Due to mental health issues and working all through undergrad, I have a lower GPA than what I feel is comfortable for applying to schools (but also have a double major and a minor so? but that's besides the point....) so I need to be a splitter.

I worked through senior year to get ready for the June test right after graduation. I took it and completely bombed.

Then I got 7Sage in July and it's been a Godsend but I've only just finished the curriculum and haven't had ample time to practice. But I still registered for the Oct LSAT thinking I would be ready. I stopped taking preptests bc I didn't want to waste them and I wanted to make sure I fully let go of the old habits I had before 7Sage. But now that it's like a week before the LSAT, I am seriously considering withdrawing bc my first preptest after finishing the curriculum isn't even close to what I want.

I was thinking to still take the test bc it took so much for me to purchase it that it hurts to let it go but I know I can do better than what I would do if I take it. I definitely know that if I take it, I would be going for a third LSAT anyway so shouldn't I just withdraw? A great scholarship to my dream law school is worth much more than $200 right? Or would a third LSAT not hurt?

I like to BR my answers and review the wrong ones all in the same studying session so I don't lose my train of thought, however im only just beginning to study so I do have a fair amount of wrong answers.

Im wondering if there's a way that you can just go through individual sections, BR them and then review the right answers without having to do the entire test?

Thanks!

Hey y’all,

I really value the input of community of 7Sage, so just wanted to ask:

Anyone looking to go to UGA law? What do you guys think of the school??

I am applying to start law school in fall 2020. I both graduated college and started my job in August 2019. Will I be considered “1 year out of college”/1 year of work experience when applying to law schools, since it will be around that much time until I start law school? Or will I basically be viewed as kjd?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I had been practicing with the LSAT official books (50s, 60s, 70s) and I recently purchased the 80s via 7sage. I noticed that in the 80s, there's a bit of a shift with the LR. I can't quite describe the changes, but I feel like there is an increased of "debatable" questions/questions that push you to make assumptions in ways that earlier tests didn't... for example, in PT 83 section 1 #18 (LR):

If the standards committee has a quorum, then the assembly will begin today at 6:00. If the awards committee has a quorum, then the assembly will begin today at 7:00. (MBT)

In the explanation, it says that we should "safely assume" that if the assembly starts at 6 then it does not start at 7 and vice versa, however, I feel like this prompt doesn't necessarily show any indication that both things couldn't happen. I made the correct assumption based on the answer options and the wording "will begin today" (something can only "begin" once), but the greater point is, it seems like the newer LSATs include more subtleties and newer patterns like this question.... am I crazy or am I on to something?

If I'm not crazy, then for those who have scored 165+, I'm curious how you adapted to these changes.

I had been scoring in the high 160s, low 170s for the earlier PTs, but my score dropped to low 160s on both the real LSAT and on 80s PTs. I have 2 more fresh 80s that I haven't taken yet, and I'm struggling to figure out how to prepare leading up to the November test. I'd love to hear others' experiences on adapting to subtle changes in LR.

Thanks!

Hi everyone - I just got the Microsoft Surface Go Tablet and I've been trying to do some problem sets on it. I'm having a lot of trouble with highlighting/underlining (with my fingers and a stylus). Can someone give me some pointers as to how to do this? Or point me to a tutorial? I've been searching online but haven't come across actual "how to take test on tablet" tutorials that details the highlighting. I know this sounds silly but I want to get this down so it's not another thing to worry about when taking the test. Thanks!
