hi guys,

if a conditional statement says something like, "if i win the game, I should buy a toy", how do I diagram this out? Is it even diagrammable? If so, how would this work, since it's not a certainty expression?

Thank you!

I took the June 2018 LSAT and although I wasn't happy with my score, I was happy with my writing sample which is handwritten. I took the June 2019 LSAT and am happy with my score, and am wondering whether it would look bad if I submitted my June 2019 LSAT with my June 2018 writing sample.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if I am consistently scoring between -1 to -3 in untimed LR sections, should I even bother with doing more untimed sections? or should I focus on taking timed sections to be improve my time? I usually am not able to answer all questions when I only have 35 minutes, missing around 7-8 questions in the LR section.

I saw that the unlimited essay editing option on 7Sage is out of stock. How often does it get restocked and how quickly usually?

It's been 3 months and I've been getting 158 in all the most recent PTs I've been taking (70+). I've gotten 161 and 164 in older PTs. I BR every test but see no improvement on the new PTs I take. RC is by far my worst sections followed by LR. The analytics do show a very strong trend in the types of questions I'm getting wrong. How do I work on those when the CC only has worked examples of a handful of those types?

Is it okay to have ranges for some activities/jobs and not for others? I know consistent formatting is important but some of my positions were more variable in terms of time commitment week to week.

For my current full time job (big law firm), should I just average out my hours? I’ve had as little as 35/week to 90+/week.

2a. Relatedly, I have 2 sub-entries for that job entry because I switched departments (litigation to an entirely different non-litigation group). Should I put a separate hours/week or just put one for that employer?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance! Also, if anyone wants to swap resumes, please reach out :-)

Hi everyone,

I have found that inference questions have, by far, been my weakest point in RC, so I have been searching for a better way to understand the question type. It occurred to me that Inference questions in RC behave somewhat similarly to necessary assumption questions in LR. That is, it seems that if you negate the inference, it will "wreck" or at least be inconsistent with the part of the passage in which that bit of information appears.

How do others think about RC Inference questions, and does this analysis make sense?

Hello All,

I have recently started a full time job, and before I got a job, I have been grinding at the library for 5+ hours, but now that I have a job it is extremely hard to focus and not stress over the fact that you have so much on your plate!! I work from 7 am - 4 pm and after that I go straight to the library. I usually try to study for 4 hours, but end up not being able too, because of how stressful it is. I feel like if I cannot handle my job AND studying, I will probably end up quitting.

If anyone has any advice on how to handle a full time job AND handling the LSAT at the same time please comment!

Hi everyone, my name is Matt, or as I will be known on here Journeyto99thpercentile. I recently took the July lsat and was very disappointed to say the least about my score. Over the past several day's I have been reflecting on what went wrong and what I can do better to improve by the November administration of the exam. As an open disclosure I am not a paying student of the site (at least for now), but after having listened to the 7sage podcast and listened to those who overcame score plateaus to reach their dreams scores, part of what they attributed to their success was being very active in the forums and blind review. For this I am super excited to read through here daily to give my insight and seek insight from you. I bounced around the 160's in my practice exams but fell into the low 150's on my July exam. I won't get into the details to save time, but I allowed test day nerves to take me away from my test day strategy, which wasted a lot of valuable time as I had under-confidence bouts throughout my sections .

I'd love some feedback on anyone who has taken the lsat and underperformed, but was able to bounce back and reach their dream score. Please explain what you did and what you attributed your success to. One of my biggest frustrations right now is in LR. Most of my questions that I get wrong I was able to successfully narrow it down to two answers, but chose the wrong one. If anyone can give tips who have experienced similar issues and what you did to overcome it, I'd be immensely indebted to you.Thank you in advance for your replies and I look forward to traveling down this road with all of you until we can reach out dream scores!

Hey guys!

I applied super late last year with bad results so I withdrew my applications and will be applying again this cycle. I was wondering if I have to repurchase CAS to send in my applications? Also will I need opt for CRS again?

Hi

Looking for a kind advice regarding my study plan for a retake.

I am aiming for October one, having approximately 50 days left.

When preparing for June one, score range was 165-169(timed) and today got 178/180(BR) for untimed.

I took all the lessons with some preps I haven't had taken yet. My account gets to prep 72.

Do you recommend an upgrade and take the most recent preps as well?

Any kind advice on how to prepare for a retake would be appreciated.

When I'm going through the Core Curriculum, should I be going through every problem set available in my subscription before moving on to the next item?

Hi everyone! I tried to register for the October 2019 LSAT in Seattle area, and there's an option for a waitlist. I even tried November 2019 and there's also a waitlist. Has anyone had experiences with the LSAT waitlists? It's giving me anxiety that the November 2019 is completely booked. Yikes!!!

Hi all,

So I've been studying for the LSAT for the past 9 months. I started with a 138 and now PTing around 157-159. I struggled to balance studying with a full-time job until I decided to quit in April and focus mainly on the LSAT. Unfortunately, it feels like days are passing by and I'm not improving. I was usually pretty good at LR with -3 to -6 wrong on each section. I would get -5 wrong on the LG and would totally screw up the RC (my worst section). I began focusing on the RC and managed to get -8, but currently miserably messing up the LR. I've registered for the Sept. LSAT and really hoping to gtet at least a 163-165. please give me advice on what I should be focusing my time and energy on. Any tips or suggestions would be useful.

Looking for words of wisdom. Do I keep going and try to get into the October administration, or should I go with the score I have and try to be one of the first applicants? I had a 153 diagnostic, June I hit 167, July was 168. My PTs were consistently in the high 160s with a handful in the 170s. I know plateauing at 168 range was a lot of mental/caught up in my head/fatigue—I got a 177 on an untimed PT where I probably gave myself ~7 min per section longer. I also did a PT with my tutor by my side with help on probably 5-8 questions and I finished each section with ample time and a 179. Thoughts, feelings, general messages of kindness? Thank you in advance!

On the 509, does this mean that students who are above 75% for their LSAT and their GPA receive this? Or is it one or the other?

Hi guys!

I just did PT 86 RC and did great an all sections except passage 4. I know JY posted videos for ultimate+ users, but since I'm not in a position to afford that ranking, could someone help me out with tips/explanations? As I cannot find anything online.

Thanks!

Hey guys!

So I took the LSAT in June 2019 and scored a 165. I took it again in July to see if I could go any higher, but I scored a 165 again. Would it look worse for me to keep it or to cancel the score? Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Scored a 153 on July LSAT which was a bit lower than expected. Looking to get into the 160's for the November test. Is this feasible? I've been studying since January. Still not 100% on LG I believe. I'm guessing I need to FP again?

Hi Everyone,

I was hoping someone would be willing to share their progression in improving the Logic Reasoning section of the LSAT, and how they were able to get good at both speed and accuracy!

I have the $10 one which expires in October but I may possibly want to upgrade to the One Edit plan. Would my subscription also be renewed?

Help! I'm having trouble studying for the RC section of the LSAT. any good advice/tips?

So I can tell I'm getting a lot better and that my skills are improving significantly, however, it hasn't translated to significant score increases yet. I'm wondering if this is normal when you still haven't taken very many PTs?

I started taking full PTs about a month ago and have to date taken a total of 4. My first full PT was a 162 and since then I've scored 161, 162, and 164 on the latest one (last week). It's somewhat confusing to me tho because I can tell that my skills have improved quite a bit in the last month. This is especially obvious to me during BR where I'm much quicker at identifying correct and incorrect answers, among other things. My last two BRs have been 174 and 175.

I guess I'm just asking if it's normal for your actual PT scores to not necessarily increase as quickly as you feel like your skills have. I hope that makes sense. I'm trying not to get discouraged and keep telling myself I've only taken 4 PTs, but it's still frustrating.

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I’m feeling a little down. I just took my second prep test today and scored a 140. I’ve been studying for the LSAT for almost a year now. I started with Kaplan and took two real LSAT tests. On my first one I scored a 141 and on the second one I scored a 146. Not great. Then I decided to start with 7Sage and give it another try but so far I am not seeing a huge difference (not saying that the course is bad cause so far it’s been great). I even quit my full time job recently to take a break and fully focus on studying and practicing for the LSAT which I will be re-taking in November 2019. I usually understand the material and I do great in the practice assessments after each session, but for some reason when it comes to taking the actual prep test or even the real test, the timing messes me up and I have a hard time focusing. If anyone has any helpful advice on how to improve or tips to apply when taking the test please let me know.
