Hi 7Sagers, I moved here few years ago and English is my second language, no educational background here. I have studied engineering and would like to pursue my goal in Patent Law. I have been studying for LSAT since late 2017, and am struggling with time. I do pretty good in LG but in LR and RC I have problems with time. I wonder if anyone had a recommendation that helps test takers like me, reading faster and comprehending simultaneously.

Hello,

I'm taking the June test and I have a specific question regarding the actual proctoring of the exam. I've noticed that I tend to get flustered in between the time they say "put your pencils down" and when they start the next section. It seems like literally three seconds go by in the time that all happens.

For people who have actually taken a proctored LSAT, do they really go between sections that quickly or is there more than 10 seconds to take a deep breath beforehand?

Thanks!

In this question why do we "attack" the premise. I thought we don't really try to attack the premise but in this question it does. How often does this type of question show up on the LSAT? I understand this question just a little bit but I am unsure why the answer choice is what it is.

I miss an average of -15 on RC. I have finished the CC, but I'm still struggling with this section. Is improvement a matter of drilling a lot of untimed/timed sections? Does anyone recommend a supplemental textbook? Like Powerscore or the LSAT Trainer for RC?

Hey!! I'm been doing the core curriculum for the past 2 weeks and i'll be wrapping it up in the next 2.5 weeks after which I will start doing the PTs as per my Ultimate+ study schedule.

I'm just wondering if I should be practicing more of the questions I'm having trouble with now or once I'm done with the CC and will be working on the PTs?

Thanks in advance!!

I have a deeply engrained habit of always writing down things that I think are interesting right when I encounter them.

I think I'll need to learn how to override this to make it through the RC section on time. I keep reading these passages and thinking, "Well this is incredibly interesting. I want to read more about this. Let me just quickly make a note to look this up on Wikipedia later." When I have really been under the gun with the initial couple full PTs I have taken I think I have somewhat stifled this urge but it's still there.

Anyone else have similar thoughts?

I have started just keeping a log of what I've read that I fill in afterwards / when time has run out and this helps make me feel I have a chance to document what I read for future research but I still find myself wondering during the reading about this topic and realize I just need to squash this wonder about connections and implications that are outside the scope of what's written about in the text and required for the questions.

Either that or I need to find a test that measures my excitement around learning a little bit about everything.

Good luck to all with you studies!

Any direction towards what you do to remain hyper focused during RC readings on just what is required would be helpful.

I find this strengthening question particularly tricky. Can anyone help explain why E) is the correct answer? Also explaining why C) isn't would be helpful!

So, I have been consistently testing at a pretty good score that I am happy with, however, when I start using the proctor feature or sit down to take a timed exam I freak out. My score definitely varies and I am worried on test day I will lose it. What is the best way to quickly bump up my score so I give myself some extra score padding for if/when I freak out.

Thanks.

I have been using the schedule maker and have been really liking it. Today, I bought more LSAT practice tests to have those more recent ones replace the older ones offered in the starter pack.

But, what happened in the schedule maker is that it added them all as if I was going to do all the practice tests (not replace the older ones), and now my weekly tasks are off.

I put May 17 as the start date and July 15 as the end date. Could someone with 7 sage starter pack, please include here a screenshot of their template study schedule off of those dates? I cannot get back to the screen where I can see my study schedule before I bought the extra practice tests so that I actually know what I am suppose to get done each week.

Can anyone explain this question for me? #help

Please remember to take it easy this week. If, like me, you woke up this morning after crazy test dreams, with a headache ~ take today off. Only light studying from now on...we're prepared, we're awesome...and we're NOT going to blow it with burnout. Cheers.

This study group is for those who are aiming for a 170+ on the LSAT. This study group will have a schedule that will require a significant amount of time needed to allocate per day. If you have scheduling conflicts, this study group is not for you. Please direct message me or comment in this forum if interested.

For those of you who have successfully appealed LSAC's fee waiver decision, do you have any tips for my appeal?

Hi guys!

So I was considering writing an addendum for my low LSAT scores. I ask if I should or not because I do not have a valid reason (for example a family loss or major negative life event) only that I am a horrible standardized test taker. Is it worth it to show that even my high school SAT scores were average to low and that I excelled immensely in college graduating with a 3.67 GPA and that I will equally do just as well in law school?

I am going to be taking the LSAT again (after deadlines) but I am trying to see if I can apply to this one school that has a late application deadline of June 15th that will allow me to start this September instead of waiting another year.

thanks!!!

I put D as my answer to this question, but the correct answer is A. I don't understand why, since the stipulation for a work to be considered unique is for it to have historical or aesthetic value. How would that apply to an unflattering painting of someone's father?

Can someone please help me figure out why A is the correct answer and the wrong reason for C?

Thank you!

I was going to ask if anyone could help me out with answer choice A and B, but I think I figured it out.

(A) You don't know that cell death OFTEN does not occur in test animals. The stimulus does not support this answer choice.

(B) "Until now studies ... have always involved administering to test animals doses of additives larger than the largest possible human exposure levels and massive enough to kill large numbers of cells in the animals, and then observing the ... rate" definitely supports our answer choice (B), which says that results encouraged overestimation!

How is the answer to PT 7 S4 Q8 E?

Maybe this is a bit of a silly question but I was wondering if the more recent LSATs (post-Nov 2018) are available on 7sage? Or are they even available at all? Thanks!

Anybody have any tips on how to improve in reading comprehension? It has consistently been my worst section throughout my studies, and from what I've heard most people feel the same way. I feel like this section has the least amount of study resources in any curriculum as well, lol. However, anybody who's strength lies in this particular section have any insight on how they succeed? Or anybody who has improved in this section have any advice? There has got to be a way to improve here other than just being a natural, right ??

Hi everyone,

Does anyone want to BR PT 86 or 85 this week before the June exam? Please message me or reply if interested!

I took 7Sage lessons before attending the law school, and I am now in the process of applying to be admitted to the bar.

While filling out the application package, I just couldn't understand the logic behind the requirement to list every law-related employment.

If an applicant omits a law-related employment and decides not to write it in his resume, then how will the ABA investigate this? What kind of resume does the ABA have on file to cross-check what they wrote in the application package? As far as I think, the only resume the ABA could possibly have is the resume an applicant originally used in his application to the law school (and this should be of course done to punish those with padded resume). But my guess is this will not help much in cross-checking the later law-related employments when many law firms do not even list an applicant's internship experiences.

That an applicant has to write about overseas internships is harder to understand. For instance, how will the ABA check this? Will they, say, call a law firm in Spain or China to cross-check? This seems very unlikely.

I am just lost as to why these requirements are here.

I have 2 questions guys.

a) So i will take the July test just because of the accommodation they are providing. In 2 days or so I will finish the LG CC and I was wondering until my test date, should I do the original bundle as much as I can (1-36)? or should I mix up my foolproofing and do games from later PTs like (50-60s).

b) Also since I have little time, do you guys think I should jump to timed PTs after I finish CC or do timed sections... I know i am not ready yet but the July test is once in a lifetime shot i think. I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me more advice than the questions that I asked because I feel lost and dont know what to do.

P.S I will take the September test most likely so my main prepping goal is for that test.

This might seem like silly question, but anyone who is left handed have a way that they have figured to cover up rules while going through the games? I have noticed that covering up the rules with your fingers is often suggested. However, I think this is only effective if you are right handed, lefties end up working over their right arm.
