Anyone else attending JY's RC wokshop here in NYC? Excited?

Any thoughts on how the study format will be?

Hey all, as tomorrow marks the first of November, I was wondering how the other November test-takers are spending the last 2.5 weeks before the big day. I'm trying to avoid burnout, and am taking a PT every two days. At this point, I'm almost struggling to find motivation in the face of the fact that the next 2.5 weeks cannot make or break my score. How are you guys staying motivated?

Hey Guys!

I have taken various PTs (60-78) and have used the grader section of 7sage to grade them. If I purchase the starter will I be able to quick view all the questions I got wrong? Currently it shows a lock, but I’m not sure if the starter may unlock a quick view for pt 72 for example. It says analytics is unlocked with the starter and just wanted to confirm this. I would do the Ultimate but I can only afford the starter. Thanks!

I've noticed that sometimes there's an appealing-seeming AC in LR, oftentimes early in the ACs (like B or C), that will "seem" kind of right (but maybe too strong or wrong for one reason or another), and then, when I go through the remainder of the ACs, it's harder to see them in a disinterested way as that experience of being kinda impressed by B for instance will lead to a less rigorous interpretation of the other options and a sort of confirmation bias where you don't want to seem wrong in your initial assessment of B. Any solutions for this?

Anxiety and worry are getting in the way of my reaching my full LSAT potential. How do I stop this? Or deal with it so that it's not affecting me during the timed LSAT sections I do?

This hasn't been a problem lately until this past weekend when the proximity of the November LSAT hit me.

I just reread this and will be following the tips: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/winning-the-psychological-battle/

If you have any other suggestions, please share!

I’m guessing there’s not a large contingent of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend fans around these parts (everyone should be though - guys, it’s so good), but the show just gave us a new anthem for aspiring law students. Enjoy.

When I was taking the September LSAT, there was one guy in the room that kept making this periodic noise of coughing-wincing. It wasn’t loud but was certainly distracting and he had been making that noise for quite a while.

I’m afraid that during the November LSAT, the chance of this happening will be higher since it’s cold now and many people might get sick but still come to the test. Have you guys encountered a similar situation like this and how did you manage to overcome the distractions and focus on the test instead?

TIA!!!

So I pulled up the first practice question through Kira and it’s “how would you estimate the revenue generated from ticket sales at the London 2012 Olympics”

Is this for real? I don’t even understand the question?? I would hope that in 2012 there would be a computer system that just scans the tickets and does the math for you? Maybe use Quickbooks? Did my Kira interview practice questions get switched with a business school interview??

Hi all,

Does anyone recommend doing logic games in order, from earliest to latest?

HELP I AM SO BAD AT THESE WHAT DO I DO

I am having some trouble comparing A and B to each other. I believe the flaw itself is that Sid is confusing the consequences of a hypothetical with just one person walking across the grass. Can anybody shed some light on A and B?

Hi,

How is the process for ADHD accomodations? Anyone have difficulties getting accomodations for ADHD? I’ve always suspected I had ADHD my whole adult life but for the longest time I refused to see a dr about it until a year ago, when the dr confirmed my suspicions and diagonesed my with ADHD. I never got any accomodations during college or any other exams.

So, I broke the cardinal rule. I burned through a decent amount of recent PTs (70-77) because I thought I was going to take the November test. Instead, I'm waiting another cycle due to a new job opportunity (which I think will give me an edge admissions wise), my genuine feeling that I can still improve, and my desire to be an early applicant (aiming for June LSAT to apply for fall 2020).

I still have some PTs from 50-60s untouched along with 78 and up. Would it be a bad idea to alternate my weekly PTs from older to newer? Or just jump around in general ? How signifigant are the differences between the way exams are formulated among these groups ? Will I be hurting/confusing myself? Either way, I feel like this may be my only option. As I like the momentum of taking a PT every week and strcuturing the rest of my study week around BR and question type drills.

Hey guys! I know people post these fairly often, but does anyone want to swap personal statement? Mine needs a lot of work, but I think a fresh set of eyes might help identity exactly where that work needs to be done. Of course, I can read and comment on your statement as well!

Hey 7Sage Fam,

I have consistently been scoring around -3 on LR for tests 50-69. Recently I have started taking tests in the 70-80 range and all of a sudden my average has dropped to -6. Is this a general trend, or am I just losing my mind?? I feel like the LR has gotten more difficult and at this point it isnt an outlier, it is a trend. Is there any evidence pointing to LR on the more recent tests being more difficult?

November'18 Study Group | Blind Review PT 84 | Thursday, November 1st| 7:30 PM EST

Hello all!

We're almost towards the end! But first, we have to decide when to have our call.

To those that are unaware, there's an admisisons seminar this Thursday at 9:00 PM EST: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/18290/admissions-q-a-thurs-nov-1-9-p-m-et. It's a great opportunity to attend a seminar and directly ask David your questions and hopefully have them answered! (I think you have to raise your hand to be called upon).

Thereby, please vote on whether you would prefer to have the call on Thursday, November 1st or Friday, November 2nd. The voting ends on Tuesday, October 30th, 2018 at 11:59 PM EST. You can't change your vote.

If you are done the curriculum or almost done the curriculum, join us when you can. We welcome people in all stages of prep. The point of the group is to get your lsat nerd on with other like-minded people and make the process more fun. Expand your thinking and learning by interacting with others! For my fellow shy-people, everyone is going to be focused on their own answers/questions that I guarantee you they will not be judging you based on mispronounced words, reading-speed, etc. It's all for fun!

Note: Take the PT under timed conditions; BR to the best of your abilities; join us for all or part of the call! For the purposes of the group please don't check the answers beforehand. If you happen to know the answer, keep it to yourself, and win the argument using your reasoning. Also, please don't go "so I know the answer is C but I don't know why B is wrong?" as the purpose is so that we all collaborate on improving our reasoning skills.

Enter the questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below! Write your name beside the question(s) you wish to cover, if the question(s) you want to cover are already marked by someone else, add your name! :) The more discussion, the merrier.

Can someone please help me comprehend why "reducing stress can help weakened immune system" is same as "stress can weaken the immune system" ? It seems like invalid negation to me...

Thanks a lot!

Hi 7Sagers,

Every once in a while, an applicant asks us if it's okay to write about personal trauma, and specifically about sexual assault. The short answer is yes. Your story is yours, and if it impelled you toward a career in law, then it's not only appropriate to say so in your personal statement, it's powerful.

I wanted to share with you one of the most powerful personal statements I've ever read. The writer hopes her essay helps you aspiring applicants put your own statements on paper. You can read the essay here: https://classic.7sage.com/law-school-personal-statement-about-sexual-assault/

Hi 7Sagers,

I'll host another office hours this Thursday, at 9 p.m. ET. Once again, I won't give a spiel, I'll just field your questions from start to finish. You don't need to register in advance.

When: Nov 1, 2018 9:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

I was wondering if anyone here has bought used copies of Powerscore books and what the result was. I mean, did it arrive all marked up inside or was were you able to save money without sacrifice in quality? I would think that having answers penciled in already would detract from the benefits of the practice sections. A new book is rather expensive though.

Here is my problem I could easily get a great score on the LSAT if I stop second guessing the right answer. I know trust your gut, but I still always second guess it and pick the wrong answer. Please help! any advice!

Hi Everyone,

I am considering taking the LSAT next year 2019. If anyone is interested in meeting in NYC, please let me know.

Best.

Jimmy

Hi all,

I am looking for some feedback.

I am currently in a routine of taking an LSAT every Saturday and Sunday morning, as I work full time and can't take it during the week. I write in November. I have been consistently getting 163 (my target score) and feel overall good/excited about the exam.

Now- my sister is giving birth and she lives an hour away by flight. I booked a ticket to go this upcoming Friday to Monday (November 2-5). I plan to take an LSAT Saturday and Sunday when I'm there but it will be in my aunts house, not in real conditions (like not at a library).

Am I making a mistake by switching my schedule up this close to the exam, as it'll only leave 1 weekend to study after? Or will a break help?

Looking for some feedback if I should cancel the flight or just go.

*** I am going at end of November if it helps too.
