I thought it would be fun (and motivating) for us soon-to-be 1Ls to share where we'll be attending for the next 3 years!

I'll start: I'm heading to William & Mary!

Hey guys, I was just wondering

Any info you can provide about flex would be much appreciated just so people can know as much as possible before test day, thank you!

Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm wondering if there is a way to view the question types analytics so I can see my accuracy changes over time depending on the PT. I'm trying to see if there is improvement on certain question types. Currently on my analytics it shows RRE as highest priority but that is over 10 questions and none of the 4 most recent I have gotten wrong. So I don't think that is actually an issue anymore. However, I want to make sure there are no question types that I have failed to improve on or if there are I want to be able to easily locate those types. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am really having a hard time coming up with a topic for my personal statement. I've sat down to write it probably a dozen times, and...nothing. I've tried thinking of anecdotal stories from my childhood. I've tried going the "why do I want to be a lawyer" route. I've tried thinking about the the "hardest thing I've overcome". I've tried addressing why I want to practice immigration. I'll get one paragraph out then scratch it. I'm feeling really discouraged about it. I studied 6+ months for the LSAT and brought my score up from a 149 to a 165. In some ways the LSAT seems less daunting than this personal statement. Any suggestions? Anything helps. Thanks in advance.

Here are bullet points of my life/educational background:

Homeschooled

Community college: Earned AA (living at home)

State College for last two years (Poli-Sci degree) (Culture shock first semester as I caught up on two decades of social development)

Dept of State Internship at US Embassy in Mexico City

Immigration Paralegal work (3yrs)

Founded my own immigration paralegal services business this year

Notes: Learned Spanish as an adult (I don't come from a Hispanic background). Now use it everyday for work. Have traveled/lived extensively in Latin America.

LSAT: Mid 160s / GPA 3.1 (Strong GPA addendum for one semester with low grades)

I'm having a bit of trouble inputting my new answers (after preptest BR) into the answer sheet- without deleting the original answers. I know there's an option to see how you do before and after BR, I just can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Anyone know how I can do this?

So my GPA in college was pretty decent (3.6 GPA) but I had some tough circumstances. Suicide of close friend and mom with cancer (She is good now). However, I ended college on an upward academic trend. Does it make sense to include these adendums to my application if my GPA was fine in college and will it help my application to include the adendums? Thank you!

Hi all I was wondering if anyone had a list of Law school 2020-21 application opening dates?

Hey y'all, I just realized that LSAC scores my GPA (CAS GPA) much differently than my undergraduate GPA (uGPA) and I am very concerned when it comes to law school admissions.

My university doesn't include A+ in the grading scale so the highest possible score is an A. Because of this, my uGPA is a 3.91, but my CAS GPA is a 3.64. The fact that there is so much difference is completely horrifying and I am very scared when it comes to getting into my dream schools. My LSAT score has wavered between 160 - 163. I know that if I can get much higher, I could possibly get into my goal schools despite my CAS GPA. Either way, Im shook and spooked.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this? Should I write an addendum to clarify that my university doesn't use A+ and that skewed the results? I am not sure what to do. I would be mad appreciative of advice.

How likely do folks think it is that the October LSAT will end up being a Flex exam? I'm in Florida where the COVID situation is really bad and I don't anticipate it getting better any time soon. I'm worried that LSAC will require it be in person and if that's the case I don't think I feel comfortable given the high level of cases in FL.

I really like all of the Pilot pens I've tried, particularly the Pilot Precise V5 in blue.

If you are finished with undergrad, and you are applying Fall 2021, and you want to apply early, do NOT procrastinate submitting your transcripts to the CAS. I have been waiting for three weeks on my academic report and UGPA calculation. I am sure it will all get sorted out, but I would hate for anyone to be starting this process mid-September and waiting for this to come through.

I have searched but I can't find it, does anyone know how to submit accommodation requests for the LSAT??

I just had my transcript sent to LSAC and my school confirmed that they sent it, but my LSAC account says it still doesnt have it. Does it take a little while to go through or should I be doing something?

Or am I just super lazy 😂 I just find it difficult to study with so much anticipation

For anyone taking the August exam, what are you guys doing one month before to prep?? I am scoring just little lower then I want on PT but I'm not trying to get caught up in the numbers and just focusing on drilling my weaknesses (RC, some LR).. I just want to see if anyone has any tips or can share what there doing one month before test.

Thank you and best of luck to August test takers!!

I am struggling with MSS Question types. Any tips?

For people that have applied and been accepted to law school, how accurate was the 7sage predictor in your admissions decisions? Or what are your chances if you were to apply this fall? I am curious how accurate the percentages are! Thank you :)

Hi Guys,

I am coming back to 7Sage and law school prep after a almost 5 years away, so I am out of the practice studying as well as with the current news about the test. I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed 8 billion times.

What is replacing the Logic games and when is this happening? Have there been any major changes to this or any other section since the ruling to take the games away permanently?

If anyone has any advice as to what I should focus on, or any areas that are not as helpful anymore, is much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if someone knowledgeable on topic could provide their thoughts... how significantly do the preptests in the 60s differ from the most recent preptests (85+)?

I am registered for the August LSAT flex and in the last few weeks, I have gone through preptests 60-66 (timed), consistently scoring at or around my score goal....

Basically, I am wondering if you think the scores I have been getting on the 60s would roughly translate to the newer tests.

Thanks,

P

Any ideas on how to take the test in a way that simulates the flex format? It seems like 7Sage doesn't allow you to only take the 3 sections, nor does LawHub. I'm taking it in August and really want to practice with the closest version of the test I can find.

Hey y'all to those who have taken the LSAT flex previously! I am taking the August LSAT, and was wondering about the time slots that you are able to choose from for the Flex. What is the earliest start time and how many slots a day are there? T

hanks in advance!

Okay someone PLEASE help me. So I am planning on taking the November 14th LSAT (just under 4 months from now) but I have heard that it is beneficial to apply early decision to my #1 school if I want a better chance of being accepted. The problem is, the ED application deadline for my school is November 15th.

-Do you think it is wise to apply to a school, just to be considered ED, even before receiving my score? If not, should I plan to take the October LSAT instead? My BR score is right where I want to be but I have yet to get there in the timed PT. OR, should I just plan on taking the November LSAT and apply in December when I get my score? If I do this, will it hurt my chances of admission because it is not considered Early Decision? My schools is not in the T50 so I don't know if that helps me really.

I really need help so I would appreciate any input at all. Thank you guys!!!

Hey fellow 7Sagers,

I'm having some trouble understanding this question.

Here is how I diagrammed it:

CR ----->/LW

SRO---->LW

(and then I diagrammed the last premise)

L (--S--)CR

SRO -----> /L

I hooked them up by taking the contrapositive of the first premise: SRO ------> LW -------> /CR (--S--)/L

But ultimately, I wasn't able to find the right answer. And JY says that we're supposed to disregard the last premise—Some lawyers are not cattle ranchers L(--S--)CR. How am I supposed to know that I should completely ignore this premise and why? This was the sentence that kept me from getting this question right! I need someone to clarify this concept, please!

Cheers!

Hey! I've gotten a lot out of this discussion forum, so I thought I'd do my part and help some peeps out. I made a Logic Games Log to track progress... I have been using this along with a method shared by another 7 Sage user to increase my proficiency on LG.

The Method:

*With each attempt, use this log to track your time, questions missed, and thought process.

I hope this helps!!!

The vast majority of LR questions turn on your ability to see the gap between premise and conclusion. If you can understand why the premise is good or bad support for the conclusion, the question type becomes trivial and the answer choices fall into your lap. Evaluating an LR stimulus is similar to LG -- do the work up front and you will be rewarded. This post will discuss a way of thinking about arguments that may help you to better evaluate them.

The idea is pretty simple. First, identify the premise and conclusion. Then ask yourself : Just because premise... does conclusion HAVE to be true?

Example: It is a very sunny day outside. JT's ice cream shoppe will be busy.

Just because it is sunny out, does JT's ice cream HAVE to be busy?

Well probably not...

What if JT's ice cream sells god awful product?

What if JT's is in the middle of a desert and no customers are even close to it?

What if it is sooo sunny out that people are too hot to leave their homes?

This test helps to expose why the premise isn't really great support for the conclusion. This is the first step in LR success. If you can consciously figure out why an argument isn't great, you take active control of the question. This makes you less vulnerable to traps and more likely to pick the credited AC.

It sounds trivial, but LR is as simple as thinking about why premises do or do not support conclusions. The difficulty lies in slowing down, understanding what the words are really saying, and putting the gap in your own terms. Hopefully the "Just Because" framework can help make this easier!
