Team soybeans, we messed up.

I took the LSAT in September and scored almost 10 points below my average. That said, I got right back on the horse and continued to study so I can redeem myself this Saturday. I got back the September exam through the LSAC portal and I am wondering if people think it would be beneficial to retake the September test or go over some sections this week? Or would it just bring back bad memories and ruin my mojo??

Should I diagram a "might" statement as an existential quantifier? Like "If Jack is smart, he might eat healthy." But, it doesn't have to be the case that Jack ever eats healthy, so that's why I don't think it's correct. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Episode 8 is here and just in time!

Hey, what is everyone doing to try and improve speed on LG. It seems I can get through three and the fourth is always a fill in. I have in no way mastered the LG section and probably never will, but I have the basics down. It seems when I pick up speed I miss things.This also happens on RC sometimes. Thanks!!!

Hey everyone!

So I'm writing for the first time in 4 days and am trying to do what I can to make sure I don't bomb my logic games section. I certainly haven't fully mastered LG because I either score -1 or around -6. When I score -6 the bulk of those questions are from one game. In Blind review I can always do the game I screwed up without any difficulties so something else is causing this. I think it's mental or maybe I rush games that I can take 12 minutes on.

My plan is to just keep foolproofing and do the games that gave me the most trouble in the past. I'm not doing full pts or anything so I don't think I'd burnout at all.

Is it foolish to think I can pull off a great LG section on test day?

I get tripped up whenever I see a word I have never encountered before. Words such as unimpeded, unadulterated, ephemeral, impartial etc..

First, can someone post the link to where we have a selection of difficult words that typically appear on the LSAT. I remember it being somewhere in the curriculum.

Second, how do you handle a situation where you see a word and you don't understand the meaning ? It could lead to choosing the wrong answer, simply because of the misinterpretation of a word.

Which watch should I get for Saturday? I think I saw a video of a watch that rotated on the top, if that makes sense. I'm not sure if that one is still allowed. Which watch are you guys using? Please provide links if you can! Thank you!

I an taking the March 2018 LSAT. My diagnostic was a 150 and my goal is 168-170. I know 7sage suggests 1yr of studying but I have to take the march LSAT for the program I am appying to. My weakest subject during the diagnostic was LG, but after blind review I got them all right, so timing is my biggest issue. What is the best way to attain my goal considering im a student and dont have 40hrs a week to study?

Anyone have any thoughts on how this law suit will affect law school admissions? If the plaintiff's win, will it only affect undergraduate institutions? How immediately will that change URM admissions? Will it change it at all? Race is an evident part of many people's identity, and can be written all over their application. Will diversity be something schools won't promote? Because diversity doesn't always involve race. I'm very curious about this case. I'd love to hear what you guys are thinking.

Some of these explanations are so long, verbose, and full of stuff that's not relative that I'm having a hard time paying attention. JY is all over the place. Do I really need a nine minute video for two minutes of information?

Hello, all! I am freaking out a bit because my RC has never dropped as much as it has this week and I am taking the exam this Saturday. If anyone could throw some tips out, that'd be greatly appreciated.

Hi Hello,

Can someone explain this question? As in, the correct ans. choice. I'm having a realllly hard time convincing myself that it's "necessary". #help

Hey guys, I'm taking the LSAT for the 2nd time this Saturday and was looking for some advice on keeping time. The first time around, I had a really hard time seeing the clock in the classroom and I was always 1-2 minutes off on when I thought the section would end on my watch - which is ultimately what ended up hurting my score, since I would be scrambling to finish a section that I thought I had more time for.

While studying for this one, I've been practicing resetting my analog watch to the top of the hour at the beginning of each section so it's easier to see when 35 minutes is up. It only takes about 3 seconds to reset and it's been a huge help for me to keep track of time. Have any of you had luck trying this approach? Will I get in trouble with the proctors if they see me adjusting my watch in between each section? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

When I started my LSAT journey, RC was the section I was least concerned about. I finished all the passages, and would get maybe -5. It was something I could see improving with time. Then I did a prep program (Powerscore tutoring for anyone who's curious) and now, I'm only getting to 3 passages. More troubling is the fact that I seem to be having trouble with questions that ask me to infer or guess how the author would feel about something. How do I overcome that? Anyone else have trouble with these sorts of questions? What helped? Any tactics/and or strategies would be really appreciated!

Hey everybody, I'm trying to decide on what I should do in regards to the next LSAT:

I'm registered to take the November 17th test, but as of right now, I'm not happy with where I am scoring. I've gotten better at LR, but worse at RC at least on my practice exam that I took today.

The 7sage program is helping a lot, but I'm nervous I'm not going to do as well as I want on this upcoming exam. I have already taken it once and was unhappy with my score, so I obviously have to improve. I am debating whether I should wait and take the January 26th test, but I'm worried that it may be cutting it a bit close to application deadlines (most schools I am looking to apply to have a March 15th application deadline.)

If anyone has any advice as to what I should do, that would be great!

Thank you

Hey guys!

I'm just wondering if I may receive some advice. I've been feeling a little unmotivated to study lately.

This is due to a variety of reasons.

Being sick.

Anxiously waiting for an exam score.

Girl issues, staying single, and trying to move on. (Honestly this is my biggest issue about my life, and it's kinda sad because it doesn't seem like the biggest issue ever to most people, but I have a GPA boosting semester so it's easy to have time to think, and I placed it like this for my entire junior year to work on the LSAT, but lately this one person's been in my thoughts really often and I prefer to get it out of my mind because I'm trying to focus on LSAT and goto Law School.)

Anyone got advice to get more motivation?

Anyways, thanks y'all!!

Hi guys,

I have been studying for the LSAT for 2-3 months now on my own. I am doing well, but I really want to take it to the next level. I am taking the November LSAT in a few days and I know for sure that I would like to take it again in the future. However, 7sage will be my partner this time around. How much time should I plan to study? If I aim to take the test again in June 2019, is that an ideal test date if I start Ultimate Plus on December 1st?

Hey 7sagers - just a quick question:

In Penn Law's application, the "Undergraduate Employment" section reads: "If you were employed during the academic year while in undergraduate school, list the positions you held beginning with freshman year" --> does this apply to jobs held during the summer as well, the summer in between freshman yr & sophomore yr etc?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I need help deciding on which two prep-tests I should take before the November exam! My last prep-test was #84 and it made me drop 7 points :( I've read that exam was difficult for a lot of people, so since my confidence has taken a hit, definitely not a preptest that is tooo hard, something of average diffculty. Don't want to lose all my confidence before the actual exam haha. I'm trying to pick between 78-82 so it's more recent. What do yall think? The last three I took were 83, 84, and 85.

Thanks for reading!

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well :)

Burnout hit me pretty hard after the September test and I haven't studied more than 20 hours total in the last 2 months. I am scheduled for this weekend's administration but I don't feel strong. My PT average is one point above my target score but I haven't taken a PT under timed conditions since before the September test. My performance in September was -6 my PT average and I honestly felt better going into that administration that I do about this one.

My gut is telling me to give up on this cycle and prepare to retake in June but probability seems to favor taking in November since my PT average is above my goal score and taking now could theoretically push up my law school start date by an entire year. Obviously it's a gamble and unlikely that I hit my PT average on test day given the 2.5 month break from prep, but the upsides are pretty solid. That being said, I realize that life goes on and that I probably won't be any more or less happy taking a year off as I am a k-jd student and only 22 years old.

Try to put yourself in my position as I am still on the fence about taking the test this weekend and there is a lot of exterior pressure to start law school ASAP that I feel might be clouding my better judgement here.

I was approved for the accommodation of testing in a private/low distraction room for the Nov 17th test. Less than a week from the test, the LSAT still hasn't confirmed where I will be taking my test. I've called a couple of times, and just keep getting the same response "You will receive an email when we have confirmed your accommodations." This is super stressful since I don't know if I'm going to need to make travel arrangements based on where I end up taking it, or whether they will be able to confirm them at all!

Does anyone else have experience with this? Should I be worried about the possibility that I may not be able to take my test under accommodated conditions at all since I still haven't heard back with my confirmation letter?

I so appreciate any advice -- this is stress I was really hoping to avoid the week before the test!

I've been pretty much hitting my goal and maintaining my goal score with my twice-a-week preptests and my last two were low. Second to last was low and most recent (yesterday) even lower. I'm freaking, now that I am so close to the test. Why is this happening now? I was experiencing a bit of pain and sinus pain during both tests, I don't want to rely on those excuses... Thoughts?

Hi all,

I am set to take the November LSAT this week but feel that I could do better if I took the January LSAT.

Should I still submit my applications in December and inform schools of my pending January LSAT or wait until I get the results and apply in February? Some schools I've contacted will look at my application as-is even if I have a pending LSAT score and may render a decision before my January results come in.

Is Feb. too late in the cycle???

I understand why (A) is correct, as well as why the wrong answers are incorrect. That being said, I'm having trouble identifying the type of flaw/assumption that this argument is making.

Is this a study flaw? Is the author assuming that the data from this study is solid enough to prove that there's no causal link between tv advertising and cereal preferences?

Usually, when I attempt weaken questions, I try and identify the type of flaw/assumption that the argument is making. Here, I couldn't do so, and just had to get to the right answer through process of elimination. When I inserted answer choice (A) into the premises, I saw how it weakened the conclusion, but I still don't know which type of flaw this question falls into.
