Hi there - does anyone know if there a way modify the timer on the digital problem sets to not end after 35 mins? Thanks!

So when I do lg I find myself double checking my work constantlyyy to make sure I haven’t made a mistake or written something down wrong which obviously can be a good thing but I’m wondering if doing this too much might actually be wasting a lot of my time? Anybody who’s great at logic games have any tips on how to get so confident with games that you’re not doubting yourself, or any tips on how to get a good flow going ?

Hi there!

I just took my first PT ever and I found it super mentally taxing. It was difficult to stay focused throughout the entire exam and I was always rushing for time T_T. My score was -6 RC, -4 LR, -5 LG and -8 for the last LR. By the time I reached section 4 I found it super hard to focus. Are there some tips that you can share with me to help me improve my speed and concentration?

Thanks!

Hello!

During my freshman year I received a noise complaint. I was written up and received a formal warning that exists on my academic record.

Of course, for schools with C + F questions that specifically ask if you have received any warnings from a college, I plan to disclose this and submit an addendum. My plan was to just err on the side of disclosure and do the same for all schools, but I am wondering what others think.

A number of schools ask specifically "“Have you ever been subject to any disciplinary action" but do not mention warnings explicitly. Because this exists on my academic record, I was going to answer "yes" in these scenarios too, just to be safe, though I am not sure warnings are considered being subject to disciplinary action and if doing so would be unnecessary.

Would love to hear the thoughts of others.

Thanks!

Looking for one or two people who want to swap resumes and personal statements through email and give some good feedback. Thanks!

With every PT I take, there seems to be one section that I struggle on, so I drill that section, take another PT, and do well on that section but now another one drops off that I used to do well on. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like I am playing whack-a-mole

If Larry drives to work in the morning, he will hit traffic. Therefore:

A If Larry hits traffic, it must be morning.

B If Larry drives to work in the afternoon, he will not hit traffic.

C If Larry doesn't hit traffic, it must not be morning.

D If Larry drives to work in the afternoon, he will hit traffic.

E None of the above.

I would like to understand the answer.

Hi everyone. So, i'm currently scheduled to sit for the October LSAT and I reallyyy don't want to have to post pone it. My actual timed scores right now are ranging from 155-158 which is what I scored when I last sat for the actual LSAT in July (only recently resumed studying & previously did not use 7sage). My Blind Review score is consistently above 165 which is what I am aiming for on test day. Does anyone have any advice on how to tailor my study schedule to improve on my timing so that I can make this happen? I am consistently losing the most points on reading comprehension so I can definitely use some help there. Also, is it reaosnable to expect to improve this much within the given time frame??? Any advice will help!!

I am taking the September LSAT and with my current PT scores, I am in the range to be accepted into the schools i want. I started studying pretty late and am very busy with undergrad and work and wanted to retake in November, in hopes of a higher score, for scholarship money. Suggestions/thoughts?

edit: I would apply on October with my Sept LSAT score and then resubmit scores after November.

Guys, so for N.A we have the flip test for the answer to see if the assumption is necessary or not. Is there something like that for the Sufficient Assumption questions?

Thanks xx

Hey guys!

I discovered 7sage 2 months ago after I wrote the June LSAT, I previously used Kaplan when I was first studying for the LSAT and it seems like some of the methods I've learned from them is still engraved in my brain (they're not the best methods and they don't seem to help). Did anyone else experience this? If so, what did you guys do to switch over methods?

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to know that if

A -> B + C (with the + being "and")

Then the Contra would be /B or /C -> /A

And in another situation

A

B

/D ====> /A or /B?

Thank you!

Hi! I’m trying to decide which law school(s) in Illinois to apply to, but am not familiar with any. I was thinking of schools such as Northwestern, U of Chicago, Illinois State, DePaul, and Kent. I know they are all different schools and ranked differently, etc., but if anyone has experience with any of those schools could you please provide any input to help me decide where to apply? I’m also interested in scholarship opportunities from law schools so availability of aid would be a factor as well. Thanks in advance!

Is it possible to get a 5 section digital Prep Test? I am starting to take PT's and would like to include a 5 section test every so often. Thanks,

I'm working my through the Ultimate+ package of the CC and I'm learning a lot so far. In LR, I've been doing all of the available practice questions before moving on and I find that I do well in the beginning but end up getting completely demoralized in the final few sets of the section. For example, I worked my way through all of Necessary Assumption and was going -1 at the worst until practice set 16 and for the final few sets, I was struggling to even go -3. Is this something other people have experienced when they went through the CC for the first time? Do you think this is a product of not the knowing the information well enough or is it because some of these sets require doing five back to back level 4 or 5 questions at once that makes them more difficult than they would be on a PT?

Hey guys, does anyone have any suggestions on recognizing when an argument is causal when it does not include key words like "responsible for", "resulted in", or straight up "caused"?

I'm seeing question 22 on on Section 2 in PT 73 being identified as causal, and I totally missed it. Wanted to see if anyone has a good way to break these things down. Thanks!

Hello 7Sage Community((/p)

My LSAT journey has been and long rough road. I took the December 2017 LSAT and scored 155. I stopped studying for awhile and discovered 7Sage. I started the core curriculum and 7Sage helped open my eyes to how to correctly study for the LSAT. I started studying again mid-April 2019 while working full-time. I have been able to increase my PT score to 164. I signed up for the November 2019 test, but I am a splitter student (my gpa is 3.0) and I am considering rescheduling my test to February 2020. This would mean 4 years between completing my undergrad and entering law school. I am torn about taking the November test or cutting my hours as a server and subsequently taking the February 2020 test. Any thoughts?

Hi all,

Would anyone be interested in swapping drafts of their personal statement for peer review?

Let me know!

For universities that are christian schools but say that they prefer to have diverse bodies, including those with different sexual orientations and that they don't discriminate on orientation, is it okay to send in a personal statement that talks about your experience as part of the LGBTQ community? Or is this something you should error on the side of caution with and create a new personal statement just for those schools?

I have seen a few questions in which NA is actually an SA or a weaker form of SA ( --> in SA to -- most --> in NA, otherwise the same). I understand that NA and SA has different logical relationship with a valid argument (Any SA -> VA -> All NAs), and that NA does not require as strong / absolute a claim as often seen in SA.

In what cases can NA / SA become equivalent then? Is there a definite logical relationship between SA / NA? I.e., SA -> NA, where NA includes SA? Thank you!

A certain experimental fungicide causes no harm to

garden plants, though only if it is diluted at least to

ten parts water to one part fungicide.Moreover, this

fungicide is known to be so effective against powdery

mildew that it has the capacity to eliminate it

completely from rose plants. Thus this fungicide, as

long as it is sufficiently diluted, provides a means of

eliminating powdery mildew from rose plants that

involves no risk of harming the plants.

Which one of the following is an assumption on

which the argument depends?

(A) There is not an alternative method, besides

application of this fungicide, for eliminating

powdery mildew from rose plants without

harming the plants.

(B) When the fungicide is sufficiently diluted, it

does not present any risk of harm to people,

animals, or beneficial insects.

(C) Powdery mildew is the only fungal infection

that affects rose plants.

(D) If a fungicide is to be effective against powdery

mildew on rose plants, it must eliminate the

powdery mildew completely.

(E) The effectiveness of the fungicide does not

depend on its being more concentrated than

one part in ten parts of water

I picked A but the ans is E- WHY??

I've read that personal statements should be 11 or 12 pt font, double spaced. Does the same apply to diversity statement, GPA addendum, etc? Additionally, do these ever begin with a salutation like "Dear Admissions"?

I know people don't generally make a fuss about the writing portion but what is the best way to prepare?

I know the prompt generally presents two 'criteria' and two 'plans.' Does it matter whether we recognize the criteria or plan as the main point of the argument? For example, do you have to argue that CRITERIA 1 is more important than CRITERIA 2 or PLAN A over PLAN B and consider the criteria - because one could feasibly argue that you are able to achieve both criteria 1 and 2 with one plan (could argue that long-term financial stability will yield the most profits over time). Or is that seen as not being decisive enough with your argument?
