Hi, does anyone know the test dates for Asia in the latter half of this year? Or is it undetermined for now?

I just wanna clarify something. So i will start the LG section soon.. do you guys recommend i start fool proofing games during the CC or afterwards? and i do have access to PTs 1-35 so i can get the LG bundle.. can you guys tell me when and for what reason should I do the bundle? is that where i start fool proofing? I would really appreciate it if someone can clear this up for me.

FYI i will take the July test so maybe i should go with a different strategy?

THANKS IN ADVANCE! :)

Hi everyone I have been struggling with finding the strengthens but mostly the weakness of an argument? Any tips on how to master it? Because I been practicing and practicing and still struggling with the section. :(

I am struggling very much with most strongly supported questions. Sometimes I will do problem sets and get 4/5 and then sometimes I get 2/5. I've noticed that reading carefully and looking for key words are a good technique but what other strategies do you have for MSS questions? Thank you.

Could someone please post the podcast where several high scorers talk about they're daily habits in the few weeks leading up to the test? I can't find it easily by searching, and last time I listened to it when it was too late. I'd love to hear it again. thanks! #help

This question may have been posted previously in regards to science, but as somebody who studied liberal arts I find the economics and science questions in logical reasoning and reading comp way more challenging because I have to take extra time just to understand the content otherwise I end up not understanding entirely which leads me to the wrong answer. I read a bit of science and economics on my own but I was wondering if anybody has any tips for this? Publications to read etc?

Hi,

I am having trouble regarding timed pt and anxiety issue.

So when I do full timed-pt, my score is 160-167 but in BR, I constantly hit 173+.

This huge difference sucks since everytime I saw questions without timing going, it is not that difficult (I miss easy questions very often under timed)

I feel stucked and anxious whenever I am doing timed pt and that happens just before I took my first real LSAT and it continues.

Currently, I am doing one timed pt for one week.

I do not want to push myself so harsh to alleviate burnout status.

What should I do?

Now that the first deposit date has passed, you may find yourself sitting on a waitlist. How long do you have to wait? How long does a school maintain its waitlist? This will depend on the school. Some schools will notify and release candidates from their waitlist after a certain point. This would provide some closure for you as an applicant. Other schools may maintain their waitlist up through orientation in case of any “melt” throughout the summer. If deposited candidates withdraw because they get admitted off waitlists elsewhere, the school will turn to their waitlist to maintain their class size or their medians. A school may turn to the waitlist all the way up through orientation in some cases.

So how long should you stay on a waitlist? This depends on how badly you want to attend the target school. Preparing to attend law school, perhaps in a new city or state, can be a complicated process. Students have ended up sleeping on a couch or living out of a hotel room for a few weeks having accepted a last minute offer of admission from a school. They might start the beginning of law school orientation at one school and finish orientation at another school. If it’s August 1st, you probably will have deposited elsewhere, and you may decide it is better just to prepare for school with the concrete offer you have. At that point, if you haven't been released from the waitlist yet, you may decide to withdraw from the waitlist. Or, you may decide that you are only as committed as your options. If so, you should be aware of and be ready to meet these potential challenges of relocating in a hurry.

If no obstacle is too great between you and your target school, then what should you do right now as you sit on the waitlist? Well, you shouldn’t just “wait” quietly. There is no way to know what a target school is going to do with their waitlist, how big or small it is, or if they will pull 5 or 50 people from it. Nevertheless, if a school turns to the waitlist, and your application meet their requirements, you want your file to be one of the notable ones with current activity. Keep your file up to date by letting the school know that you are ready, willing, and able to commit to the school immediately should you be selected. Connect with the admissions office periodically by phone or by email (once every 3 weeks or as directed by the admissions officer) and say, “I know I am on the waitlist but I wanted to let you know that School X is still my top choice and if admitted, I would definitely enroll.” Be aware of the tone of your conversations, be professional, and take direction from the admissions officer with whom you are communicating.

Hi guys,

I want to make an argument and delete LSAT 25, S2, Q10 from the problem set because the answer choice is poorly written.

Without diving too deeply what the question is saying, it is about some spider webs that emits UV and conclusion is that the insects get attracted because of the pattern.

Naturally, after reading the question, the weakest spot from the argument that I had naturally draw without reading the answer choices has to do with this specific pattern and maybe it connects with "food or mating".

And the answer choice E, which is the correct answer choice because it proves that okay insects are attracted to the UV. But that is entirely restating the premise. The answer choice is made correct because we got A, B, C irrelevant and answer choice D being 180. SO answer choice E, which doesn't do anything that sort of just rephrase the premise, being the right answer.

Please let me know how you feel. And if you feel that the answer choice certainly strengthens I be very honored to hear your reasoning because I just don't see how answer choice E is different from confirming the premise and the gap still leaves untouched.

I've done some number crunching and determined the rest of my schedule for leading up to the June 2019 LSAT (~27 days away). I am studying full-time currently. I am currently fool-proofing logic games and have about 90 hours of logic game study left. This makes my study schedule as follows:

Now until May 22nd: Logic Games fool-proofing

May 23rd to June 1st: 6 full-length practice tests (one full day for a test and one full day for each review)

June 2nd: rest day

June 3rd: LSAT

Does 7Sage think I should change my schedule up leading up in June LSAT?

Okay, so I eliminated D right away and was stuck between answer choice B and E. Is D correct because Mayor Tyler said "in 1982 when I first showed how the building would relieve the overcrowding we were experiencing" and Councillor Simon said "Roseville has saved by not having to maintain an underutilized courthouse for 10 years"?

Hello all, I would like to be able to participate in some live Webinars, but being that I am relatively new to this gig, have no idea how to find out about them before they happen. So, can someone please let me know where to go to see a list of what's coming up? Thank you so much!!

Hi All. I am curious to know some techniques or strategies on how people have been studying. Are you doing ALL the problem sets directly after the lessons? For example for MSS questions, are you doing all the problem sets in a row? Saving some for later days? What have you found helpful in regards to this? I hear from people the best way to get better is to continue to do problems; However, my worry is that by the time I get to the Logic Games or reading comprehension, I would have already completed all the problem sets for the logical reasoning. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you.

The provided link has maybe not all, but many of the answers to concerns that I've been stressing over. Hopefully this helps ease some minds !! Sure helped mine (As much can really be done)

Anyone have strategies for RC anxiety? I was averaging around -4 for months until today when I went -12 on PT 79. I noticed my anxiety was through the roof by the end of the section and what worries me is that I didn't really notice until after the section was over. I knew I spent too much time on a pretty easy opening passage and I think I let that get to me. For some reason this seems to only happen with RC. I went -1 and -0 on LR that same test so I know I wasn't just "having a bad day". I'm thinking maybe because I usually finish the other sections with some time to spare, I'm not stressing out about the time crunch. But the amount of time we're supposed to spend on easy passages vs hard ones still seems so vague to me.

I got this question correct but have no idea why C is the correct answer. Can someone explain?

I was waitlisted at American and plan to attend a waitlist information session and sit in on a few classes. I was wondering should i notify my admissions counselor that i will be visiting? I don't want to be annoying. This would be my second visit (i visited last summer before applications). I was waitlisted in March and so far have sent 2 letters of continued interest (1 each month).

Hey Peeps,

So I'm currently working my way through the core curriculum, albeit hella slowly!

I was just wondering what are some of your thoughts on following your intuition when answering logical reasoning questions versus mapping/writing everything (conditional statements, necessary conditions, sufficient conditions, etc.) out?

I imagine using one's intuition is much faster but of course sometimes intuition can fail you.

I know this has been discussed a lot over the years, but what are the latest thoughts on the best watch to use that is allowed? I know I can set my regular analog wristwatch to 12, but even the small anxiety of doing that after each section seems like too much. I know people like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JVP0LE/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but I don't love having to watch the bezel since I'm not used to it. Does anyone know if the 180 watch or these, which are basically the same thing:

have been banned? I see conflicting reports online, and I'm not even sure if we can trust a phone call to LSAC because when I called them to ask if we could bring 2 highlighters, they said no and I walked right into the test with two highlighters. If it's still allowed, I think it might be the best one for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it just me but I cant seem to review the answers after I've done the practice questions...

I used to be able to see them but suddenly I can't see it. When I clicked Answers, it would just be a blank white page.

I made a new free tool that you might find useful.

It’s an admissions checklist:

And a great way to build a school list:

And a great way to track your results:

You can play with it here: Coda Checklist.

You'll have to sign up for Coda (it's free) and make a copy of my document to use it on your own.

I'd love to know if you find this useful, or if it's just arcane. Leave a comment if you check it out!

Hi All! I've heard back from all my schools except for NYU. I'm pretty sure which school I'll be committing to, but wondering if I should check in with NYU or just wait it out? I wasn't expecting to still be waiting in May! Applied early January.

If anyone has any insights, I'd love to hear them :) Thanks!

So I got this correct, but only on the basis that I knew this was a medium leveled question. I cannot fully eliminate A and need additional help.

When I read this my initial instinct was to say how do we know that 62% is representative. Again, after knowing this was a medium level questioned I felt that A was too easy to fall for and I re-read the stimulus and saw it mentioned that it wanted to increase readership. With that this is what followed:

A - Could not eliminate

B - So what that other journals have done this? We just care about this journal and what they are doing.

C - I choose this because out of the other answers this felt like it mentioned both that representative discrepancy mentioned AND the want for the increased readership. However, I am still not entirely confident in this answer choice

D - So what about the cost?

E - So what?

#help

I am just really confused of why the right answer is B.

My thought process was this:

C: It is advisable for businesses to implement such variations.

Why? because of all the information above. When I read this I thought there was an assumption between all businesses having a standard software. Writing this out, I see why this is wrong, but I also do not see why B would strengthen this.

Answers the way I saw them:

A: This is right. In my head this reinforced the assumption I thought I saw

B: So what? We never mentioned cost

C: Again, money is never mentioned. But also, it was mentioned that they were compatible. So this is pointless

D - This might weaken the argument b/c even if we fix one issue, there is another issue anyway. Also, what are destructive computer programs?

E: So what? These businesses want to do that. Even if they do not, it does not strengthen anything

Hey all, I have roughly a month to go until the June LSAT, and I need to brush up on my conditional reasoning fundamentals from the ground up, as it relates to Logic Games. I've tried to start with intro to grouping games but have found his list of conditional statements and their implied conditional relationships incomprehensible. Which videos should I begin with to have a solid foundation for understanding conditionality in situations like grouping games?

Thanks!
