Please help.

For context only (not making excuses)- my last final of undergrad was during this covid nonsense, open note, open book, take home final. I needed help with 2 problems and a friend came over to explain them to me. My professor caught a lot of people for cheating and asked people to turn themselves in and they would receive a lesser punishment. I turned myself in and I just got an email from my academic honor council. I do not cheat on tests and (not an excuse but) this did not feel like cheating at the time.

I have already graduated but they said this is going on my record and they are taking away my Latin honors. I plan on applying to law school in a year after working a in management consulting at a prestigious firm. How screwed am I? I am engineering with a 3.85 and a 170 on LSAT, I was really trying to go to a top 25.

I would really love to hear from someone who had academic dishonesty and attended a top 25.

Thank you in advance and I would really appreciate any advice! And don’t tell me I deserve whatever I get because believe me I have never regretting anything more in my life! I am just praying my entire future isn’t in jeopardy.

Did 49.2 as the advanced translation drill at the end of Loophole. Timed but counting up without watching the clock (just wanted to see if I could apply the Loophole strategies in real time), and was able to come in just under time.

Set the camo review (first time trying it) at 8 minimum, and it shot back 8 sequential Q's. No answers changed. -0!

Now I wish I'd done it as a full PT! Not the biggest accomplishment, but feels nice after being maxed out at -2/-1 in LR for so long. I see concerns about compatibility come up from time to time... for me Loophole was a great companion to 7sage CC.

I have been struggling with Necessary Assumptions questions for a while. After rereading Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book I have finally had my eureka moment. In all honesty NA questions after using her methodology are not that hard.

Identify conclusion(Obviously)

Identify Premises(Bear with me)

Attack the argument like you would for a weakening question

Negate your Loophole

If you follow those steps you will begin to see major improvement in your NA questions. I think the reason for this because most tutors reccomend that you just read attentively when doing NA questions, but this course of action enables you to be on the offensive rather the defensive when looking at NA questions.

I have noticed that when it is a question type that is focused on attacking the argument I do great. So, this course action enables me to do what I'm good at.

If you have any questions PM!!!!!

Do you flag and come back to hard questions at the end of each passage in RC, or do you come back to them after attempting all 25~27 questions in the section?

Similarly for LG, do you attempt all games before coming back to a flagged question?

Hello fellow 7 Sagers,

I’m cramming to study for the JULY LSAT Flex so just wondering what questions should I focus on to maximize my points/score. Also any quick tips that would help that I can focus Mainly LR but really all sections! Thanks again.

I'm working through the CC and I frequently have time during the problem sets to BR any questions that I've flagged. I've been using the extra time to go back on questions I'm not sure about. There have been times were I have been able to clarify my reasoning for AC being right/wrong and reach certainty but when I can't reach 100% certainty it isn't due to a lack of time, but rather a knowledge gap. Given this should I still be blind reviewing?

Can someone please explain to me how we can automatically make the inference that M cannot go into 3, when it appears M is also associated with Speech as well as honors and Speech appears to have no restrictions for table 3 ?!?! So Shouldn’t this open the possibility of M being able to be in table 3 as well, even though the rules declare that all variable associated with Honors be in tables 1 and 2 ?!?!?

Hi everyone! It’s my first post on 7sage so here goes..I just finished my diagnostic test and am getting ready to start the blind review process. I haven’t done much of the core curriculum. When I circled questions while doing the test I found that I was certain about almost none of the questions. On one LT section I have twenty questions circled. Is this too many to be beneficial? Or is this pretty typical when first starting out?? Thanks!

Hi everyone! It was just announced that the July LSAT will now be administered online as the LSAT-Flex format. I was hoping that anyone who took the previous LSAT-flex administrations could give advice to us who are about to take it!

Here are some question I have:

  • How do you wish you would have studied differently to account for the new format?

  • Do you have any advice for test day and dealing with the online proctoring system?

    Hey everyone! Trying to improve my speed with games that a SUPER heavy on COMPLEX Lawgic.

    Any recommendations for good games from 1-36, 37-41 or 72-81? (These are the games that I've already done; the rest I'm saving as fresh PT's). Additionally, any games that use bi-conditionals would be extra-beneficial since this is also probably an area of improvement for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    Did anyone get a loaner tablet from LSAC for their May FLEX test? If so, how was the user experience? And was it easy to navigate and read comfortably?

    At what point should you feel comfortable that you have "mastered" a particular approach to a LR question type, so that you no longer need to review all the answer choices? or should you ALWAYS read all the answer choices? For Example, in MP questions, if you find the answer choice to be "C", do you continue to read thru the other answer choices, or just select it and move on? Is there a difference to your strategy if you think "A" is the right answer choice, do you read all choices in that situation? Plz share any info on answering strategies to increase speed and accuracy. Thnx!

    Hi there,

    I am going through my BR of the June 2007 LSAT. I got question 13 of section 4 wrong, so I am trying to understand why B is wrong but E is correct. The passage is focused on the study of music and language in humans. Could anyone help explain the reasoning to me?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi everyone! I'm an international test taker. As LSAC announced today, our paper test in June is becoming FLEX in July. This makes me very nervous since I've never experienced digital LSAT. So according to your experience, what kind of equipment works best for FLEX? Desktop v. Laptop, Mac v. Windows, with a mouse v. without a mouse, touch monitor v. non-touch monitor. Any advice is welcome! Thank you so much!

    Hi, I was supposed to take the 28 June test in East Asia but it's been switched to FLEX, and I'm trying to make an account for ProctorU for taking the FLEX.

    When I try to make an account it says "choose an institution" but my uni's name is not on the list nor can I choose the LSAC as my institution.

    How did y'all make your accounts?

    thanks
