How are you handling making notations on/for your RC - highlighting is not enough for me is the only tool available? I feel like I'm losing time writing down things.

Hi,

So the correct answer here was B. According to JY, B is right because the argument requires an assumption: that in order for direct mail advertising to not be bad for the environment, it needs to replace those who would normally buy something through car rather than getting new people to buy stuff. However, I didn't see this argument flaw because I didn't know how we could assume that direct mail advertising was bad for the environment at all-- after all, the stimulus only tells us why normal shopping is bad, and doesn't tell us that direct-mail advertising creates paper waste or anything like that. Creating paper waste or any negative effect of direct mail advertising in real life seems to be a scientific fact, and I thought that LSAT doesn't want us to create assumptions regarding scientific facts. As a result, the argument actually looked pretty sound to me, and none of the answer choices looked any good to me.

Can anyone explain to me how we are able to assume that direct-mail advertising is worse than not buying at all when the stimulus never seems to tell us that (thus making B correct)?

Thanks!

Best regards

Hey guys! Just graduated college and looking for an accountability partner (preferably someone who is taking the LSAT in October of this year) so we can avoid slacking off on self-studying. If you are interested, please let me know. I live in Cali BTW. :)

Hi.

I am curious whether it is possible to reset the analytics. For example , I've recently started studying full-time again and wish to delete my current Problem sets and completed PTs. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Thanks.

I am hoping to compile a list of all the questions I have pinned (using the purple bin after finishing a problem set) in the past 5 months of studying. Any idea of how I can access this information?

Last thing I think about when I'm falling asleep and first thing I think about in the morning - HOW DID I DO????? IS IT GOING TO BE WAY LOWER THAN MY PT'S? HIGHER? OH GOD. Anyone have some tips to stay sane/personal experience with this?

Does everything work well on a Kindle? Are there any limitations?

Hi,

The correct answer here was E. I understand why the answer is E (because it shows an alternative explanation for the phenomena described in the stimulus), but I have trouble understanding why D is wrong. After all, if following the protocol actually works in curing infection, then doesn't that weaken the argument by showing how maybe it isn't the protocol that is counterproductive, but possibly something else that is causing the higher infection rates?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, can somebody please help me out, I’ve been studying since March and am aiming for a 165. I average missing 4-5 per LR section, missing about 3 on LG, but RC is killing me. I’ll go anywhere from missing 5 to 12 and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to improve. I plan to take the October exam and was thinking about taking 2 weeks and doing 2 RC sections a day (one in the morning untimed and one at night timed) any suggestions would be appreciated thank you!

hey guys, i took the June 2007 pt as a cold diagnostic in January as i started my LSAT journey and got annoyed at how low my score was, and deleted the results - horrible lapse of judgment - without blind reviewing as i didn't know how to effectively do it at the time. now im finally done the CC, after many breaks, and want to see how much better i got, but i realized i deleted the results so i cant go back and compare from the original. My question is, should i just retake the June 2007 pt and then blind review and see how they compare to the score of the cold diagnostic, or is it just a waste of time and just start PTing at PT1? thanks for any feedback.

Hey guys, I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew and need extra time to study. In the e-mail we got for the July 2020 LSAT-Flex, LSAC noted that there is an option to opt-out and get a coupon for any LSAT from Aug till next April, but they did not indicate a deadline. I tried e-mailing LSAC to ask if there is a deadline and haven't gotten a response yet. In your experience, has there been one? I'm trying to see if I can still study till I'm confident enough for the July LSAT-Flex, but I don't know how much time I have to make that decision. Would appreciate your thoughts!

This is the one question type I can't seem to be able to master after months of studying. I think my biggest problem is not having the right prephrase but overall just have a really hard time identifying subtle flaws. Does anyone have any suggestions that can help me improve identifying the flaw and also strategically eliminating answers?

What do people think about taking the LSAT again? In general is it a good idea and is it reasonable? On a personal note, I recently took the May LSAT Flex and I am signed up for the July test. I did good on the first one and have recently taken a few weeks off to focus on other things, but I came back to a PT today and got the same score as I had on test day. That made me think I could get a better score if I put a couple more weeks of prep into it. Does anyone have any advice from their own experiences about taking the LSAT more than once? Thanks everyone, 7Sage and its community have already raised my score a whole bunch and I am forever appreciative of everyone.

I understand that we're advised not to add anything from high school on our resumes, but I was wondering if there was a similar rule for personal statements? Is there a point where a story for your personal statement is considered too old to be considered relevant by an admissions board?

I'm still finishing up my undergrad, and hope to go straight through to law school, so a lot good number of stories that I find to be interesting about myself are from high school, including my "what made me want to study law" story.

If anyone has insight on this I'd love to hear from you!

I understand that splitting game boards is a good way to do up front work and go through the answers quickly, and splitting up the board helps most of the time. Also, I find that sometimes, there are more than six or seven questions where it is worth splitting up and getting several game boards, yet after doing several splits on some games for example: PT 26 section 1 game 1, I originally split the game into several boards, but I did much better when not automatically splitting the board and going through the questions without setting up the boards and which was more effective for me in getting the correct answers. I did make some errors in the original set up, but it took way too much time, yet setting up two or three boards on the fly for each question that required a deduction seemed to work out much better for me. Please advise on when is the best time to judge if it is more efficient to go straight into the questions, besides the amount of questions there are. Do any of you find any specific key identifiers that help you decide when you will split the game right away?

Hi!

I know that a lot of law schools advertise how many undergraduate universities they have students from. I’ve been to two universities (first 2 years in a college in GA and then my graduating university in Texas). Do law schools use all universities for those numbers or only your graduating institutions?

Hi friends: My undergrad institution decided to give an extended ddl for the law school fall entry. I thought it worth a shot. The problem is that I really had trouble with getting my rec letters, I am super super stressed out abt having to zoom with my professors and talk and negotiate. I do have two/three rec letters from previous school year that I got for some business ma degrees and I knew they're super generic but they're supposed to be talking good stuff about me.

My question is how much it would hurt if I just use the generic ones that may talk some random stuff like "quant skills". If I use them instead of seeking new ones, I believe I could use that energy/stress into getting my LSAT up for like 5 points. And after all i have no idea what my chances are as it's only one school and I haven't taken LSAT yet and I will only have one shot in July before the ddl.

Thanks so much for your advice!

(Edit: it’s a pretty decent school and it seems that it’s gonna be less competitive this round since it’s only for class of 20 here). I do realize that it’s better to get new ones, but I don’t have my ps ready and the deadline’s in a little more than a month, and I think it’s better if I send in the requests now. What should I provide in lieu of my ps?

Hi all,

I had two outstanding reference letters for this cycle from professors who know and support me in my ambitions. I'm sure they will have no problem resubmitting but for some reason I can't get myself to send the email without feeling like I'm a nuisance to them. Has anyone had experience asking their references to resubmit for a second cycle? How would you recommend approaching this via email?

Thanks and I appreciate the feedback, hopefully this question can be helpful to someone else as well.

Looking for someone who is early on in the CC and wants someone to send daily reminders / talk about course material to help keep each other motivated. If this is something that peaks your fancy then drop a line. I am shooting for the October LSAT.

I keep getting these questions wrong almost every time I am confronted with one. SOS.

I do bad toward the end of psets, but I don't know if I should continue with the curriculum or go over the entire pset/lesson again to see if I understand it better. Any recommendations on what I should do? Should I just move on or review that section all over again.

Hi,

I moved to the US 10 years ago when I was 18, and I started speaking English only then. Unsurprisingly, Reading Comp is my weakest section. Anyone who speaks English as a second language but has experienced some success on the RC?

Do any of y'all have any recommendations for reading sources that might help with RC passages?

I've been struggling mostly with comprehending science and humanities passages, so any digital publications with similar articles would be really useful. I've heard that Scientific American is a good source, but any and all other sources (and specific articles) would be super helpful.

If there are video or podcast resources that can give some background on RC material (law, arts, science, humanities) that you'd recommend, I'd love to check those out as well!

Is it one of a kind? Are their earlier games that reminded you of it? Any drill suggestions? Thanks.

Having trouble with choices A and E.

Perhaps I may have it correct but I’m trying to gauge if my thinking is correct.

For choice A. This is correct because the whole notion of “destroying any diseased cow as it shows typical symptoms” matches with the support in the stimulus that BSE CANNOT be detected until overt symptoms are found—hence making choice A’s proposal impossible to help eradicate BSE as by the time a cow has been infected with BSE, it may have already exposed other cows.

However, why is choice E incorrect?
