yhe right answer is E and i picked B. I dont get at all why E is right because isnt that going against our whole conclusion which is that what the Marine Biologists are saying (lobsters eat one another is in response to hunger when they are together) is Wrong?

E is then saying that any food that they got wasnt enough to kill their hunger ( and therefore the ate eachother)

What am i missing?????

I know this is definitely a 5-star question. But a few things that I keep getting stuck on are the following:

Does will encourage imply causation? My thought is no b/c if I encourage some1 to eat a chocolate cookie does not mean I caused them to do so.

How do we grasp a phenomenon when doing LR stimuluses? Like I could not at all iron out the two phenomenons that the ACs were playing on in this question? How can I improve on that?

Thanks

I’ve had a couple of schools I’m applying to ask for my SAT & ACT scores.

I did not have these handy, thus it took a while to get this done.

Make sure you have these available as a just in case!

On the section where it asks you to list all your previous employment and the dates, if you are unsure of the exact month of when you started or ended is that penalized against you? For instance, I worked at Perkins for my first job when I was 15 and I am unsure of when the exact start and end dates were.

I'm currently in the process of getting through the Core Curriculum, but should be done by mid to late September. So then is when I plan to start seriously PTing and blind reviewing exams to improve my score. If anyone is interested in going through PTs together that'd be great. I travel some for work depending on the week, but I'm always available for studying on the weekends. Let me know if any of you are interested. Thanks!

Is it really 3 weeks still?

Hi everyone. I’ve been studying for a few months now and while I think I have achieved general improvement, I am absolutely tanking my practice tests still. I think it’s from general anxiety around taking it but I have no clue how to get out of my head and focus. I know I have learned a lot and I do pretty well on individual practice sections but the whole test is my issue I just freeze and lose focus. Any advice?

I'm interested in business leadership programs such as the Doctoroff Program at UChicago and Jacobson at NYU. As a K-JD, would applying for these programs put my overall application at a disadvantage? Is it possible to be accepted to the school without acceptance to the business leadership program?

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if there's any issues if I'm taking the September LSAT but haven't done the writing sample for July?

Hey guys - I just took PT86 and scored 1 point higher than my PT average so am really happy!! Typically after completing the digital test I'd see the option to blind review each section before scoring, but this time it only said "show questions" and immediately showed me which ones I got wrong. I was kind of upset because it's not a true blind review that way.

Anyone know if I clicked on something wrong or if the BR option will be coming back?

Thanks!

Does anybody want to exchange and proofread each others resumes for grammar, style, spelling, etc. errors? If so comment and I'll message you!

I started studying for the LSAT in May with about 7 wrong on per LR section, and 10 wrong on RC, and 7 for LG. My scores became consistent in the lower 160s since late June. Now I'm in the mid160s, with RC and LG visibly improving, but LR unchanged (5-7 wrong per section). I finished 7Sage CC in August, and really liked the courses. But it seems that my LR skills haven't improved at all? I'm shocked to learn that, but I only have about 4 weeks left for my first LSAT. I'm considering postponing the test, because I don't think I can hit the 170s within the next month...

I have looked through earlier posts on similar issue, but haven't seen a similar situation. Any advice, experience and good tips would be much appreciated! Should I go back to the LR CC? Should I look for a tutor, etc..?

(I have read the LSAT trainer, Manhattan prep LR, but haven't done any drilling for LR. I always have 2-3 wrong per section due to mis-reading: simply pressed for time, trying to read faster.)

Hey I noticed the post "what affects your chances of getting into law school" only uses October as the earliest application date. This is the same with the law school predictor. How about if i apply in september? Does that give an even earlier boost?

Hey guys! With applications opening today, I can say I am still lost with the process of using LSAC and CAS to apply to the schools I want. Now that applications are open there is a button that says "apply." Should I have all of my letters of recommendation and transcripts on LSAC before hitting apply or is this just where you can edit your application and save it as you go?

What im struggling with is picking the answer- when i pick my answer im like 100% its correct and then i find out im wrong. Im picking the ans with with the most relevance and still getting it wrong! WHAT DO I DO?

eg: Pt3 sec 2

PT3 Sec 4

Like i just dont understand why these are the ans, when the ans i have picked are relevant to the passage

Any tips on how to make your test day the same as review? I always find that the silly mistakes I make on a PT come to me so easily in review.

Guidance on how to make sure that doesn't happen in three weeks?

How are y'all dealing.... need some support right now.

Hi all,

I was wondering what your thoughts are on writing a personal statement about overcoming mental health issues. I've heard mixed responses as to whether a PS on this topic is a good idea given the stigma that surrounds mental health, the possibility that law schools might question your abilities, etc. I personally think that if framed correctly, writing about overcoming mental health issues and what you learned from it can highlight positive characteristics such as strength or persistence, but I'm not sure if admissions committees would agree.

Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,

So far I have fool proofed games from PT 1-18 and another 10 between PT 36-50 (the PTs I have taken so far) and I am wondering if it is a good idea to take a week or two just to focus on foolproofing the remaining games before I start taking prep tests again? Or should I continue with fool proofing 4-5 games/week?

I just thought I should focus on fool proofing for a while since I have still been averaging around -5 of LG sections. Would appreciate your input.

If you're taking the Sept. 2019 LSAT and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, you can get a free 14-day extension from this page: https://classic.7sage.com/free-extension/

For those of you who are expiring after, good luck on the LSAT! We here at 7Sage are rooting for you.

How do you keep yourself motivated when you are tired? I am doing LSAT study part time and gunning for one of the fall administration exams this year (probably november or october if the burn out doesn't get me first). Sometimes I just keep getting everything wrong, other days I'll get everything right. It's hard to be okay with the bad days when you've had a few good ones.

If you're someone who is motivated or is well-adjusted: what keeps you going? What motivates, encourages or pushes you? How do you find ways to cope? Or, if you're in the same boat as I am: how have you been trying to adjust to these struggles?

I'm having a very "off" day -- I'm getting everything wrong, even though I know I can get it right. I'm struggling to accept that I'm going to have bad days and good days. I understand the logic of it all -- I know that the learning process isn't necessarily linear and that I'm going to have to expect the occasional set-backs, etc. but are there any mental/emotional/physical/etc techniques (for ex: meditation, etc) that you guys do that work for you when, and if, you find yourself feeling this way? I'm looking for camaraderie and also looking to learn from what you all have to share about your experiences.

For those of you with the loophole book and CC, did you find Chapter 9 and on to be helpful?

I found the book helpful so far, but would opt to skip if there's not much new stuff.
