Hello. I have been following the blind review method for some time now, but I always fall short of two or three questions for logical reasoning section when I am doing the timed LSAT and it is so frustrating. It is even more frustrating when the score I get is not to my expectations and it just feeds my self doubt. Do any of you guys have similar issue? Any tips for completing the LSAT sections on time?

I've been re-doing PTs 36-86 and my scores are obviously inflated, so I'm not sure how much I'm actually improving or even getting out of it. Would it be better to focus on PTs 0-36? I've done all the LG but I haven't done the LR/RC except for what was covered in CC. Thanks!

Hi!

In this game and all the explanations it seems to be implicit that, while M or P can threepeat, they cannot repeat again the same subcomittee I.E. you can have PGH but you can't have PGP even though, even if this were true, all members could still serve on at least subcommittee- why can't M or P be used 4 times? Nothing was explicitly stated in the rules.

Why is A the right answer? Isn't A just the contrapositive of E?

What category would "Identify the Role" fall in? Where can I find more practice questions for this type of question within 7sage?

Is anyone currently studying for the LSAT(registered for June but pay push to Sept) while attempting looking for a job? I'm currently in this predicament and I'm finding that my consistency is suffering. Any thoughts or advice?

Hi all -- this question just has me stumped altogether. I would really appreciate it if someone could walk me through their thought process! In particular, if there are also tips on how to get through this kind of question faster (it's so fuzzy because it's MSS with a MBT-esque stimulus), that would also be really helpful.

I am looking for study partner(s) to study for the LSAT on a daily basis. I am located in Toronto. Let me know if interested!

Since my BR score is still way above my actual PT score, and I'm still experiencing panic every time I face LG timed, I'm considering seeking other kinds of help. I've heard good things about EMDR therapy helping with test anxiety. Anyone know anything about this?

When people say they are a non-traditional applicant, what do they mean? Is it just being older than 30?

After reviewing, I can see why the wrong answer choices are wrong, but I cannot also tell you why C is the right answer. To me is just does not make sense. To me I thought this if anything would strengthen the argument.

Would it be safe to almost immediately disregard conditional statements as a correct AC in MC questions? I haven't come across a conclusion that is a conditional statement since those would always be premises leading to some conclusion? Does anyone have a counter-example that disproves this?

Thank you!

Hey guys, I'm very new to 7Sage, but have found the discussion and resources to be a invaluable supplement to my LSAT studies. I apologize if something like this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it in a search, so please forgive me if I'm being redundant.

To be short, I'm graduating college in May and looking to take a gap year before attending law school, meaning my goal is to be part of the next (Fall 2019) admissions cycle. I'm planning on taking the June LSAT, since it's the last disclosed test on the schedule. I began studying at the beginning of March using the LSAT Trainer (I was totally clueless and had read that 12-weeks was a solid amount of time), and had been feeling fairly confident about my progression/habits until I stumbled upon a 7Sage podcast. You guys do some incredibly airtight review and in-depth studying, and I've begun incorporating a lot of these habits into my process (blind review, fool-proofing, etc).

What I've noticed, though, is that the time horizons for 7Sagers are generally longer than what I am looking at (3-months for June LSAT, potentially up to 6-months if I retake in September). I also sort of shocked myself and got a 167 diagnostic. I didn't want to put too much weight into that score in case it was a fluke, but I do seem to be testing at around a 166 - 171 level right now. Given my limited time and the fact that I feel fairly confident with my progression, is it wise for me to go the whole 9 yards and ensure that I'm fool-proofing everything ten times and blind-reviewing for hours on end, or should I only do these things for the question types I've identified as problematic? I don't want to half-ass this process, but I also spent 5 or 6 hours yesterday fool-proofing ten or so questions and worry that perhaps I could have cut that in half and used my energy on another problem area.

I understand this is a unique situation, and I anticipate a lot of the responses to be something along the lines of "extend your time frame," but please treat this like a logic game ... given THESE conditions, what do you guys suggest?

(That being said, I'm certainly not opposed to treating June like a trial and taking again in September, but I'll have more limited time once I start working in mid-June).

Thanks so much!

Hi! This is probably nothing, but do emails from schools that say "We are impressed by your accomplishments and believe you would be an excellent addition to our community," leading into a free application waiver mean you have a better chance of getting in than normal? I know the schools get the information from CAS, but not sure what exactly they're doing with it, and how meaningful these emails are.

Can someone please help me with this? I've been on my laptop for hours and for some reason I am not understanding how this works. I've tried the 7sage predictor for the LSAC GPA and it just does not make sense to me I think I might be using it wrong. I have all the courses I have taken and I would appreciate any help on this matter. And if someone is even willing to compute it for me (I'll send you my classes/grades,etc) I will gladly Venmo you $5 for a Starbucks drink/dunkin or any coffee of your choice! I'm just freaking out because I'm scared my GPA will be lower than it already is and I could really use some help with this.

Thanks so much.

Hi all,

I’m a short time lurker who just took the March exam. Clearly from my title it didn’t go well. After studying for a few months, working full time, finishing school full time I took the test and got my worst score ever.

I figured this would happen during the test because I hated my test site and didn’t even finish my sections. I sort of gave up mid way 🤫

With all that being said I’m intending to take the July exam and possibly one more later in the fall. I’m quitting my job to focus on the LSAT full time. I PT at around 160, but I want to get closer to a 168-170 over the next few months. Do you guys think I’ll be a good candidate for the Ultimate or should I start at a lower level with my test being so close. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

Hi.

The March LSAT results were in two days ago. I'm so glad to say that I scored a 169!

I know there are plenty of people here with 170+ and yet aiming for a higher score, but I am content with what I've accomplished after a long journey.

I'm an international applicant with a GPA classified as 'Superior.' I'm a traditional and have studied for the LSAT for a whole year.

I went from a 148 diagnostic, to 161 in June 2018, and to a 169 in March.

I was averaging mid-160s before the March test, so my final score took me by a huge surprise.

LR was my biggest weakness, as I started out getting -10 for each section. I improved a lot by drilling by question type and focusing on those types that I had the most difficulty with.

The Blind Review and foolproofing methods worked out wonderfully for me as well. At one point I was wasting my PTs by taking three tests per week, and obviously getting nothing out of each test. Learning the proper BR method was a game changer for me. I started seeing steady improvements in my overall performance.

I just want to say a big thank you to JY and 7Sage for your help.

I'd also like to add that 7Sage works, although the process could be long and wearisome, as it was for me. So don't give up!

Peace out :)

I will post a google docs later where you can highlight questions/games/passages you want to go over

Just wanted to share my excitement. Finally completed the core content, and did my first complete timed practice test since doing a blind analytic back in January. In January 2019 I scored a 143, and just now I scored a 158 :) I know it is just one test, but I could genuinely feel the improvements I have made while writing. I have got a long way to go, but this is a good step. Am aiming for a 170, which might be a bit unrealistic with only 6 weeks left before I write the June LSAT. Going to stay positive and keep working hard.

For splitters applying to T-14 schools, (borderline GPA, good LSAT score) do certificates look good on applications? My school doesnt offer a major/minor in Pre-law so instead I enrolled in a pre law certificate and will complete it my last semester of college (spring 2020) Does enrollment in the certificate look good? Can It help push splitters to acceptance?

Is the best that a law school offers is full tuition scholarships or can one get housing as well? Does anybody know? This is just in general but also if you have information about any specific schools.

What to say when you've been studying for a long time but you're not ready? Thanks in advance for your advice on this. I know it's not a totally new thread. It's something I need to revisit though. Trying to find the right thing to say.

As title suggests, I'm very afraid that I won't do well enough on my first write and would have no PTs left to use at that point. I was about to purchase the Ultimate+ course but was scared that I would use up all resources and still score below what I want. As you can tell, I'm fairly new into studying. But I do want to ask, what do you do if this ends up being the shoes you're in? So far I haven't purchased any course for this reason. Looking to write Sept19 test soonest.
