Hi,

I am having a hard time seeing why B is correct and C isn't, maybe because I really struggled with the stimulus. Could someone help explain this one?

Hi!

I'm having a hard time distinguishing when it would be most helpful (and efficient) to use charts in grouping games. On the June 2007 practice test, I used a chart for game 4 - the recycling centre question and it worked for me but JD doesn't use it in his explanation video. I guess it did take me a bit longer using the chart, but I can't quite figure out the precise characteristics of a grouping game where charts would be most beneficial.

Help!

I'm new to studying for the LSAT. I have been working through 7Sage's CC and am on the LR section of Causation. I study full-time but have been shocked by how long it takes me to go through the videos, work on a problem, and BR it...

Based on 7Sage's custom schedule, I've been very behind despite studying as much as I can each day...

I have to work on accuracy as well as comprehension speed. Despite being a good student, I need to refrain from reading the stimulus 3 times to understand it... I have had a goal of taking the LSAT the first week of October to apply to my dream school early decision (I've asked and the school said they do not know if they will extend the ED deadline due to COVID19 so I doubt they will).

Is this realistic?

Edit: My goal is acceptance at T14 school that guarantees a scholarship for ED. I believe the Oct 1st LSAT is the latest exam they will accept for the ED deadline on Dec 1st.

I have a question regarding the use of word "similar" or "related" in strengthen and weaken choices. For an example, if a stimulus portrays the argument that Seals from the Baltics were more susceptible to disease from pollutants than those not from the Baltics. If an answer choice option stated that: A SIMILAR animal to the seal from the Baltic Seaalso was more susceptible disease from pollutants than those that are not from the Baltic Sea.......... would that strengthen the argument? Or if an answer choice stated, a RELATED animal to the seal from the Baltic Sea also was more susceptible disease from pollutants than those that are not from the Baltic Sea... would that strengthen the argument as well?

Hello!

I am new to 7Sage. I am a sophomore, and I am looking to get a score of 175-180. Any suggestions in terms of studying?

I chose D, but I think I might have mistaken this for a strengthen question. However, I don't understand how E is correct. Why does the fact that it doesn't show that megatelescope research is worhty for comparison.... matter? I feel like this is one of the AC that JY will commonly ask "who cares/so what?"...

Hi! I am graduating college in a week! With that being said- I plan on starting work in July. Currently, the plan is to take the LSAT in August and work for 1-2 years. I have asked 2 professors to write me letters of recommendation and informed them of my timeline, they both were delighted to. Should I have them write the letters now or in a year when I plan to apply to law school?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am 22 and planning to take the LSAT in a couple of years. I was wondering: If you had the opportunity to go back to age 22, and knowing that you would be taking the lsat later, what are some useful habits you would have cultivated to give you an edge at the lsat? would you have read more, read more difficult stuff, practiced grammar in some way,...

Many thanks!

I've been working through the late 40s and early 50s preptests and I'm consistently missing sufficient (and pseudo-sufficient) assumption questions because the stimulus includes irrelevant content which appears to be a premise but is really there to distract.

Do you have any advice on how to spot irrelevant content in these sorts of questions? Two examples of what I'm talking about are PT52S1Q17 and J27S3Q24.

Is anyone else having issues registering on Proctor U? The site keeps saying 405 not allowed.

Hi all,

I plan on taking the LSAT in November and since I just started and I'm on a time crunch I was wondering if any of you have suggestions on how to study? I'm also a student so I'll be taking classes in the summer and full-time in the fall. Would it be a bad idea to go through the curriculum to understand the concepts and only do a few practice sets (not all since it is a lot and takes up a good chunk of hours) and then get done by mid-july and just keep on doing practice tests until November?

Thanks!

Does anyone have any thoughts on how the LSAT will be able to avoid questions being leaked with so many times being offered on ProctorU

Hey all! I would love to get a study group together. Starting to struggle trying to do this on my own and would love to get people together to bounce ideas off of each other :) Everyone is welcome! Also totally open to whichever platform is preferred to use to communicate.

Can you round up your GPA from a 3.918 to a 3.92 for your resume?

Hello 7sagers,

kinda bummed because a couple weeks ago after hitting my highest blind review score (163) my most recent BR score has plummeted to a 157. Looking at the blind review stats there were a handful of questions in the LR section that I changed from correct to incorrect. Any advice on how to correct that going forward, taking the LSAT-Flex in 3 weeks so any advice is welcome.

I am registered for the July 2020 LSAT, I have been scoring low 160s and I want to improve my score into the low 170s. What are the most useful 7sage courses you have used so far and that I recommend doing. The course planner is saying I need to spend 90+ hrs a week to complete all the material, but I don't think all the material is 100% required right?

Please let me know what you all think, I'm an LSAT newbie.

Can anyone think of examples that would make the following answer choices correct

OR have come across LSAT arguments that have a method of reasoning matching the answer choices below?

it is compatible with accepting the argument’s conclusion and with denying it

it makes a value judgement that is incompatible with a principle outlined

It distorts the opponent's argument and then attacks the distorted argument

Thanks!

Hey guys!

Is it wrong go through any type of strengthening question as a SA/PSA? (Finding the premise, identifying the conclusion, and choosing the answer choice that adds to the premise) If this is wrong, how do you determine just a strengthening question from that of a SA/PSA? Does the word "principle" in the stimulus have anything to do with it?

Does anyone know if we still have normal tools for lsat flex? Or if the highlighter listed on the materials list replaces the virtual highlighter we would usually get

Has anyone ever heard of anyone who began studying for the bar before 1L year? I know it seems like a bit much but I am looking to prepare for 1L year, have lots of time, and am taking out so much debt I need to absolutely kill it 1L year, at least in my head. It seems like the bar focuses on 1L material anyway.

I have already studied most of 7sage Law School and am hungry for more. I would pay for the bar prep courses but I am wondering if those who have been through school and the exam think this is senseless.

Finally, when do students usually sit for bar? Do they generally take it in July and then subsequently begin work, or does work begin earlier?

Thanks for the help.

I've taken full advantage of remote-working over the past few weeks to focus primarily on the LSAT. I've seen meaningful progress and a slight bump in my PTs because of the quality and quantity of time I've committed to studying. Now that quarantine appears to be loosening its grip for those in different work situations, I can't help but think of how much time I WON'T be able to dedicate towards studying.

Are there other Active E's or O's also studying for the LSAT?

How are others with demanding job hours - anything outside 9-6 - looking to prioritize studying? What did you all do prior to the pandemic?

what's the password for printing out practice quizes/tests?

Hello,

I just have recently started studying for the LSAT and I am about 60 hours into the Core Curriculum after about 2 weeks. I am going through massive up's and downs when it comes to LR as it is very new for me. I am just beginning to introduce myself to Must Be True questions and I did a problem set with a high difficulty but got 0 correct even after BR (fucking abhorrent, I know) which is really discouraging. I was just wondering how long it took some of you guys to see significant improvement in LR?

I am determined to get a good LSAT score and keep going. My GPA is nothing to worry about but I really want a good LSAT score as well. I guess this post is me wanting to know if there is light at the end of this tunnel.

Thank you!

I remember the first time I read through this article I couldn't stop thinking about it. Started reading through it almost every night at some point. I got in the habit of writing down “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast”, in my notes over and over. Definitely recommend checking out this guys journey, thoughts?

Also, I found the Logic Games portion he covered the most interesting. Just imagine the advantage you'd have on the lsat flex if you could consistently ace every logic games section during a point in your prep and then be able test in the comfort of your own home.

Hey everyone, so I'm working my way through the course so far, and I was just wondering if its recommended to do the problems before JY goes through his approach and ultimately answers the question? Or should I just sit back and look at how he approaches and handles the questions?
