Hello!

I have just finished the core curriculum and I am starting to drill questions. I have heard about people keeping journals for their wrong answers and I plan to do the same. However I wanted to reach out to the community and see how you guys kept your journals! Was it written by hand, on the computer, and what did you write down for each question you got wrong? Anything is appreciated!

Also I have heard people keeping journals for questions that they felt they had a breakthrough with or just for other reasons in general. If you are one of these people, please share your strategy and how it helped for you!

I am curious as to what the average LSAT score on 7sage is. I am asking because even on the lowest difficulty questions where 96%+ people get them correct, the average score for the answer choice is typically around 167. Does this mean that the 7sage average score is only slightly lower at around 165? That would be quite an impressive average score for the site. Using this average score as advertising could likely help to get more people to sign up.

Helpppp. I can't see the difference in reasoning between answer choice A and B. What am I missing here? Is B correct because the person is losing a property rather than 'suffering' as answer choice A states? Thank you!

I don't know if this is a problem with LSAC and not 7sage, but I could use some help from anyone who has had a similar experience. Regardless of whether I try to access and connect my 7sage and prep plus through the notification on 7sage or through the email sent to me via LSAC, I cannot seem to get past logging in. After I log into my account, the blank page just keeps infinitely refreshing. Has anyone else had similar issues? I've tried contacting LSAC via email but it's been at least a week and they haven't gotten back to me.

Hi!

I am wondering if someone would like to make a study group with me. I really want to study seriously with another person and I am aiming for the 170s. Anyone is welcome. I am in the Mountain Timezone. Comment if you want to join!

Hi,

So this question was really bugging me: I was easily able to eliminate B, C, and D. However, E (which was actually a wrong answer choice) just didn't look like it was found in the passage because although "meadows and glades" were mentioned on line 28, I couldn't find evidence that these were found "in forests".

In addition, I crossed out A (which was actually the right answer) because, despite the fact that they mentioned how all the fires "varied" from one another, I thought E was a trick answer choice and line 26 showed a possible similarity-- that if all the fires all had different effects from natural fires, this counted as a similarity.

Can anyone explain how we can know that E's "meadows and glades" were found in forests, and why A is right?

All #help would be appreciated!

I just took the May LSAT Flex and came out of my test feeling VERY bad about it.

I'm considering cancelling my score but I wasn't sure how much law schools would care about a low first score.

I've heard that schools really only look at your highest score but is this true? Or could a low score possibly impact my application?

Hi all! I finally (and literally) bought into purchasing a prep course given my history with standardized exams. I self-studied for the MCAT a few years ago and did not do very well. I thought I could tackle the LSAT with Khan Academy, but once I started taking the PTs, I began to trend down from a 150 diagnostic. My goal was to take the June LSAT, but I'm almost 100% going to get a coupon and my hope is to a least take it by August (although I don't necessarily have to rush to take it by then, but would be ideal before I start my 40+/week fellowship). I normally study 4-5 hours/day and would like to keep it reasonable (have a life outside of LSAT)--any suggestions on prime amount of time to study? I know there's the study schedule generator, but it's suggesting I study 60+/week. I don't think that's feasible, but would like to hear more from others.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and can offer advice on how to use 7Sage having already had several months of self-study? Would love to hear from people who have been working with this for a few weeks at least, but any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Rules:

❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅‍♂️

You CANNOT say things such as the following:

  • “Hey, the 3rd LG was sequencing and the last one was In/Out, right?” (Don't mention the game type)

  • “The last question in the LR section was a lawgic heavy MBT! Was the answer (B)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)

  • “What was the answer for the last question of RC? I think it was an inference question? Was the answer (C)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)

    Hi everyone,

    On Wednesday, May 27, at 9 p.m. ET, I'll host a webinar with Gail Dauer, the former first reader of all applications at the University of Michigan School of Law and the newest member of the 7Sage Admissions team! Gail will shed light on how Michigan’s admissions process worked, when she gave files with low numbers extra consideration, and what made her pause as she read files with high numbers. You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.

    :warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

    :cookie: After the webinar, we’ll award one attendee a free Edit Once (see https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll).

    :warning: The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

    → Please register for the webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_d1AMlym0S12cEjki6rgAVQ

    After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

    If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

    I'm a little bit unsure if I should risk it at this point (probably not).

    The unit next to me is super loud, from crazy loud music that I can hear all over my unit, and someone yelling or fighting anytime of the day. Been using noise cancelling headphones while studying or working. Some of the people at our floor decided to report them but the issue got more worse after all the complaints. In addition, my state just started slowly reopening and the construction next to our building just resume this week.I kept on pushing back my exam because of this issue. Originally signed for April, then switched it to June, now I'm signed up for July.

    Sighed I just need a space to vent, hoping for better days ahead. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during this times :) Happy Studying!

    I took about a dozen practice LSATs in my last prep course and want to upload those test results to the analytics tool here so I can better pinpoint where I'm going wrong. How can I input those results without having to take the entire test over again on 7sage's site?

    What’s up guys, I’m planning on taking the October LSAT and am looking for a committed and disciplined study partner! I’m shooting for a 170+, have a goal of consistently studying at least 20 hours a week, and live on the west coast. If you’re interested in studying together hit me up and let’s get after it!

    I picked A. Correct answer B. I don't see how the current groups give enough info to draw a conclusion.

    JY states that the group of "people rely on the web when attempting to diagnose medical conditions" falls in to the group of "people who browse the web for medical information". True. But I don't think this matters?

    We need to make an appeal that the first group, the people who rely on the web, will be fooled by the quackery. It's possible that the only people that group of people rely on the web only contains people with a medical background, as well as, people who can always discriminate between scientific valid theory and quackery, in which case, B doesn't assist at all in proving the conclusion because they are relying exclusively on scientifically valid information.

    I see another necessary assumption being something that needs to eliminate this subgroup, and make it not possible to exist.

    A was the best choice from here.

    Follow up - does "typically" have a definition on the LSAT?

    I am planning on applying this fall for fall 2021. I am planning my classes for my last two semesters, and am finding that with the load I would greatly benefit from taking one of the classes the summer after I graduate. I walk at graduation but of course am not completely done until that class ends in the summer. Can I do that for law school if I want to start in the fall? Or do I have to be completely finished in the spring. Hopefully that makes sense.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, all!

    After some fits and starts and a few delays, I'm finally signed up, ready, and excited to take the June LSAT Flex test. And as I begin practice testing in earnest, I'm left with one question: Are Flex test takers able to use an ink pen during the test?

    I ask because when I'm able to draw up my Logic Games game boards using a pen instead of a pencil, I find my game boards are tidier and that makes getting through the games simpler. I consistently score three or four points better on Logic Games when I'm able to use a pen.

    I understand LSAC provided an ink pen to those who took the digital LSAT and I'm hopeful those of us taking the Flex test will also be able to use one. But before I start practicing with a pen, I thought I should ask the group to see if May Flex test takers were able to use a pen or if anyone has information I don't.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,

    So I got this question wrong because D looked wrong to me (D was actually the right answer).

    The stimulus is saying that reduced speed limits do not protect the environment because it makes it so that cars spend more time spewing exhaust on the road.

    To me, this meant that the author was assuming that if you spend more time on the road driving slowly, you will spew more exhaust (or the same) than if you were driving faster

    In order for this to be true, time has to play a big factor in the amount of exhaust spewed; but is it the most important (which is the meaning of "primary")? And what if it only determines a big part of the emission spewed but not the "total" emission? I feel like the argument would still stand

    This is why “total emission” and “primarily” seem like logical jumps for me

    Can anyone show me the flaw in my reasoning that makes D correct?

    So I've been working on really getting good at recognizing all the potential numerical distributions in certain logic games and I wanna know how some of you are going about dealing with them. When exactly is the best time to go about figuring out all of the potential distributions? Or better, how do you know when finding out the distributions will actually prove as beneficial and not a waste of time? Does anyone think it is never a waste of time to do them every time possible (if you're really good at logic games)? Powescore says it's a critical tool which I agree with but how consistent are you supposed to be with using this "critical tool".
