I feel most comfortable warming up for a PT (and presumably the real thing) with a couple easy LG and LR questions, although my question for experienced test takers is: do you have a "cheat sheet" with helpful hints/reminders that you have built up over your studies, that you prefer to review right before testing as opposed to practicing questions? If so, how helpful have you found this and would you recommend?

Where my 7sagers at??? First test down. 155. The road to 175 just begun

Hey guys i will be taking the LSAT in Nov. It is my first time taking the LSAT, do you think that 4 months should be enough time to study? Planing a retake in January. Any advice on how much I should study everyday to use my time wisely?

Hi everyone,

@"Juliet --Student Service--" and our consultant Gail Dauer have put together a very useful list of virtual law school events. You can see it here: https://coda.io/@david-busis/7sage-law-school-list/virtual-law-school-events-28

I plan on retaking the LSAT in October, so do I need to complete the writing section for my first test? Or can I skip and just do writing on my second test?

Hi all,

I was curious if anyone had experience with editing services for their personal statements? I am starting to finish mine and was curious if they are worth the money and which ones people have had good experiences with?

AHH I'm so stoked to be hitting PT's the way I am.

Work hard, learn the fundamentals, and you're nearly there!

Does anyone else have a difficult time dealing with burnout/mental health while studying? I have been studying everyday for the past two months in quarantine. I have pretty much isolated myself from all my friends, and I've probably been spending around 8+ hours a day studying. I know this is the wrong way to go, but I feel like if I study less and start doing other things, I'll become easily distracted. I've only taken two or three days off these past two months, because I always convince myself that I can handle this amount of work. I was planning on taking July, but I had to cancel because a couple weeks before the exam, my PT scores were dropping significantly. My lifestyle at home is ok, but I find myself getting agitated by the exam around family sometimes, which worsens the situation. I'm very result oriented, so I tend to expect quick improvements, but I know the LSAT requires a ton of patience. I've tried yoga, and it's truly helped, but at the end of the day I can't tell if all this work and mental stress is worth it. I've wanted to become a lawyer since the 5th grade, but now I feel like this amount of stress and work just isn't healthy. I keep reminding myself that there are ways to manage this type of stress, but for some reason, I can't seem to get myself to improve my work-life balance. I've come to a breaking point about two times in these past couple months where I absolutely needed to take a break, and I find it difficult to judge when I really need to take a day off. I've dealt with some difficult emotions, and I reconsider going to law school when I feel burnt out. After a day off, I definitely feel ready to get back into studying, but I don't feel like this type of lifestyle is good for anyone. I want this studying process to be a more positive, and healthy experience, and I know everyone is capable of making it one. I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with burning out and anxiety. I'm sure this is a difficulty for a lot of us, but if anyone has had similar experiences with trying to overcome these setbacks, feel free to leave a comment. Thank you

I need a bit more explanation and practice of chaining conditional statements. Are there additional resources here or has anyone found a good resource for that? Thanks!

Hi can somebody help me out with this question, there is no explanation available and I don't really understand the difference between answer choices D and E. Thanks

Hey guys, looking for a study partner for October lsat!

Hi 7Sagers! I've been a member here since June 2019 after I sat my first LSAT. I went on to write it a total of three times and ended up with a solid mid-160s score. My uGPA was an abysmal 2.8 and my degree GPA was a sub-par 3.35. My grad school GPA was 3.8. I am coming from 14 years of active duty enlisted military service. I am non-URM. Here's how my cycle went...(Scholarship amounts are $=25%)

So, that's how it went! I posted some early results a while back but thought it would be fun to give the full results to (hopefully) inspire those who are still facing the LSAT.

Did anyone else get rid of A and C and choose B because it seemed as though A and C were essentially the same answer and therefore neither one of them could have been correct?

Okay...am I losing my mind here? The type of work described in AC A (the alleged correct answer) isn't even mentioned in Jorge's statement. AC E (what I chose) describes a work of art that both Shanna and Jorge have differing opinions on. Unless moral right =/= ethical right, or if "tires of it" doesn't qualify as "finds caring inconvenient", I really do not see how answer choice E is incorrect. Could this be a mistake in the system?

Hi、I,just started to enroll 7sage and now at the phase of looking through the syllabus.

One thing I noticed was that the syllabus and the study plan generater leads me to take through the path of first finishing everything about LR、then logic game and last RC.

Does the typical 7sager comply with this route?

Or would you advise to divide and study all 3 sections everyday?

(or at least alternating between 1-2 days.)

I'm kind of concerned that I might lose

my edge regarding the other sections if I focus at only one section for too long,

And I've also heard that its better to start RC as early as you can because it's the slowest in terms of improvement.

For example, say we took the conditional statement "raindrops are formed in the clouds unless there not is an eastbound wind."

Group 3 translation would be: "If there is an eastbound wind, raindrops are formed."

In this situation, can we assume that the eastbound wind comes first and then raindrops are formed afterwards?

Can someone please help me diagram and understand the inferences made from these statements?

Some As are Bs.

All Cs are Ds

No Bs are Cs.

Here is what I have so far.

AsomeB—-> ~C

~D—->~C

Inference: Asome~C

Hi all,

I believe that the LSAT cites the sources it uses for RC and LR at the end of each test. Does anyone know if I can find that list of sources for the past few tests, even if the tests are not released? I really struggle with RC, especially literary/culture passages and would like to obtain a basic familiarity with the textual themes that May appear. Any help would be super appreciated!

Also, when are they going to resume doing actual LSATs? BC I struggle on RC and test better away from home, I would definitely prefer an actual LSAT administration.

Hi all - should I test / apply only when my PT scores are where I want it to be even if it means pushing back another cycle or more?

In a perfect world, I would plan to test in Oct/Nov, apply late fall, and be admitted for 2021. I'm anxious to apply this cycle because I'm currently I'm out of work and the given the job market is super crazy right now, it would feel seamless to try to go to law school next year after prepping full time right now. I'm already +3 years out of school with work experience and can't help but feel I'm getting up there in years. However, my undergraduate GPA wasn't the strongest either so even with my plan above, I wonder if it'd be risky to apply "late" as a potential (super) splitter.

I haven't taken a full diagnostic in a year and I would consider myself to be in the learning phase. Currently studying full time and ultimately would like to aim for a T20 school.

Hi all,

I tried applying for a waiver from LSAC and the website determined that I am a dependent. Neither of my parents claimed me as a dependent on their 2019 tax returns. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to get around it on the LSAC website or will I have to contact LSAC?
