So I just wrote my third attempt at the LSAT today. And I am not feeling too great about it. I had 2 LG game section, and i really struggled with one of them ( was able to complete on 2) and did very well on the other one (finished all 4 of them). It turns out that the one I struggled with was the real section!

I also struggled on one of the LR section.

that being said, I'm 90% sure i did worse on this LSAT than on my last one. So will it be a good idea to cancel my score? Since I've already attempted it 3 times and I don't want another bad score to be on my record (not sure if so many attemps will impact my applications?)

Or should I not lose hope and just wait to see how i did?

FYI-I am a Canadian Lsat taker.

I started to feel sick on Wednesday and took that day off but last night I didn’t sleep well and I’m feeling really fatigue when drilling LG now..I took might&day quil. My plan was to review one more RC passage and redo a LR section that I thought was hard.. but I’m not sure if that’s a good move now. I’m also afraid to just go to sleep now and end up not being able to fall asleep tonight ... I really want to take the test and I hit my target score range last week T_T

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Hello. I was wondering if I fail to cancel LSAT registration by tonight 11:59pm, the schools will get to KNOW that I withdrew from Jan exam. I want to make a decision tomorrow morning depending on my physical/mental condition....so I don't want to cancel it tonight in case I do want to take the test for the last time.

Are the 2018 tests harder than 2008 tests? Most of my most recent preptests were from 2008.

Is the difficulty difference negligible?

Thanks!

Might come across as a stupid question. I just want to make sure about one thing, can we hand write in the space provided for “print name”, while doing the signature or do we need to edit the pdf and make changes via that. TIA

hey guys,

So this game has 2 "if" rules as follows:

My confusion is from the the first rule. I understood that if George is presenting "J" then Rita is also included. But does it also means that if Rita is presenting "J" then so does George?

please help.

What I wrote down for BR: I do not see an answer choice that really strengthens Ms. Fring's argument. However, if a company follows an experts advice and the result was very little profit(ac E) I believe that would be a substantial example allowing us to reject Mr. Blatt's argument.

I know that this is a strengthening question and we should be looking for something that strengthens the argument and not weakens Mr. Blatts argument, but I do not see how ac C is correct. What does volume of business have to do with blame? The stimulus just says the more they cost the more they can be blamed not the more or less they cost the more or less business they have.

Wow, LSAC is adding another fee! Lol. I was just playing around on the site, thinking about if I wanted to take a last ditch shot at another LSAT for scholarship purposes, and saw this when you click through the June registration:

Notice starting with June 2019 LSAT: The writing section will be separate from the LSAT starting with the June 3, 2019 test. This change will result in greater convenience and flexibility for test takers as the testing date will be shorter, the essay will be typed rather than handwritten, and it can be completed at a time and place of the test takers' choosing. By registering for the June LSAT, candidates will be automatically eligible to complete the writing section as of the date of the LSAT and up to one year thereafter. Candidates are only required to have one essay on file to complete their Law School Reports. Essays completed during previous LSAT administrations will still be valid for use in Law School Reports. There will be an additional fee of $15 for each administration of LSAT Writing.

The way I read this, I think that the LSAT Writing section will be included in your registration fee once with the new method (doing it on your own time after the test), and then if you take the LSAT again but opt for another writing section, it will be an additional $15 fee. Good news: you only have to do it once! Bad news: personally, I don't enjoy the thought of basically writing yet another application essay. The standard will likely be higher and schools will probably now pay much more attention to them, since you aren't doing it at the very end of a grueling test under timed conditions. Now, you will really have to step up your game and write a good essay. Also, of course LSAC found another way to add a fee hahah.

(Ok but now that I am re-reading it, I can't tell if the writing section is included in the June registration, or if you do have to pay the $15 to take it. Not totally clear to me. But, be aware of the additional fee!)

Hi! I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow and would love a bit of last minute help on this one to boost my confidence.

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-34-section-4-game-4/

In the explanation, JY explains that answer B is correct using a thought process I cannot seem to grasp despite the number of times I watch the video. if J is in, then P is in - no problem. but then to say that when J is in, O and N can also be in confuses me...I understand that looking left of J - taking the contrapositive - O and N are in. but in doing so, don't you have to leave J out since it requires the contrapositive of J to get O and N in? I must be missing something super basic here. please help :) Thanks!

This has been something that works for me. In the past, I have found that when the timer calls out 5 minutes left, even if I only barely started on the last passage, I can usually finish the passage and questions before the time is up, and not notice a significant score decrease in those last passages. Taking this knowledge with me, I approached a whole section with this mentality, and was able to consistently finish before the 5 minutes warning, and having the time to go back to hard questions with a fresh eye helps tremendously, allowing me to digest all the information I previously read. This is similar to what I did when I conducted confidence drills, but this gives me a more tangible sense of urgency.

The hard part was not losing the sense of urgency. Usually, by the third passage, I start slowing down, and need to remind myself that I'm running out of time.

I would also say that this is not a technique that works for everyone, and is probably fairly advanced. You may have to first master the memory method or other fundamental techniques first before this can consistently be applied.

Hope this helps. Cheers~

PS: Just did the test, and can confirm, at least for myself, the "5 minutes remaining" strategy did wonders. It keeps the adrenaline pumping non-stop. I can't confirm that I did well, but I did finish every section before the 5 minutes call, and probably both logic game sections and an LR section with about 10 minutes left.

Hey everyone, hope everyone is either PTing to the stars or getting waterboarded with acceptance waves.

I just wanted to get some advice from the 7Sage family in regards to the near future (Saturday) and long term.

I am doing a dry run for the LSAT on Saturday (I have really bad test anxiety and thought it would be a good idea)

I started studying early Jan and cold tested with a diagnostic score of 150 on the June 2007 PT.

I took PT 16 today and went -12 LG, -9 -8 LR respectively and -4 RC for a score of 157.

Any advice for me to prepare for Jan LSAT and subsequently the March/June?

Thank y'all in advance!

📣Update: Unfortunately, our guest had to cancel. @"selene.steelman" and I will still have a conversation about letters of continuing interest and waitlist etiquette, and then we'll take questions. We'll still give away a free edit at the end. Sorry for the bait and switch!

Currently going through the CC and fool proofing the problem sets. I have done a decent job at diagramming but i am finishing the games at a slower rate. It is also taking me a while to make inferences for certain games. I'm guessing this is going to take a while? Lol

Anyone have advice or motivation for someone who is starting to doubt themselves and their reasoning as test day approaches?

Hey everyone,

First time poster - doing some last minute studying. I'm reviewing November's test but I don't see JY's explanations for the last passage. Do you know if this is available anywhere? In particular I'm stuck on questions #23 and #26. If someone could just explain the right answers to those 2 I'd really appreciate it. I really liked D for #23; and B for #26.

Thanks and all the best!

Hi everyone,

My account is about to expire in a week. I am still working on my apps though so I would still want to access the 7sage Admissions Course that I am currently using. When my account expires, will I still have access to @"David.Busis" 's Admissions Course?

Thanks!

If anyone would like to contribute last minute summaries and strategies for RC, LR, LG please feel free to post!

So, my Lsat is this Saturday and my buddy who is taking it with me found a pretty good article that will motivate us to keep chasing our dreams!

Hello,

I am confused with the setup for this logic game. What would it look like?

There are exactly six computers - P, Q, R, S, T, and U - on a small network. Exactly one of those computers was infected by a virus from outside the network, and that virus was then transmitted between computers on the network. Each computer received the virus exactly once. The following pieces of information concerning the spread of the virus have been established:

-No computer transmitted the virus to more than two other computers on the network.

-S transmitted the virus to exactly one other computer on the network.

-The computer that transmitted the virus to R also transmitted it to S.

-Either R or T transmitted the virus to Q.

-Either T or U transmitted the virus to P.

I had a hard time with the questions because my setup was confusing me!! Thank you!! #help

YOOOO! I just wanted to ask a quick question about the must be true test for Necessary Assumption answer choices? could someone elaborate on that? Im confused with it. Specifically for the Rattlesnake question JY gives us in the lesson. The AC has to do with food which was never even mentioned in the premises/conclusion. How do we determine whether foreign information is relevant to the argument?

I was doing a bunch of research on this topic, but at the end of the day, I can't seem to really find the benefits of such programs. @oshun1 posted a discussion about JD-LLM in International Law. I'm curious about the concept of such a program, and don't see the point. For many schools, you can learn the exact same things, and can spend a semester abroad as a normal JD. The same goes for the other joint programs too. So, for those applying to joint-programs, can you please share what is the benefit of the JD-LLM, or other joint programs? Is it more prestigious during and after graduation? Does it allow for more opportunities and resources? Thank you.

Hello,

Background: I started studying with 7Sage the first week of November. I started at a 151 diagnostic. I have been studying full time since then and my average is now 168. I have not touched PTs 56-86 except for 67 and 68. Basically, I am back in school full time now working on my masters and am getting pretty tired of the LSAT. However, I want to keep my skills fresh for the March 30th administration. Frankly, I am aiming for 170. I finished with a 4.0 UGPA so I am trying to get into T10 schools. Thus, I am seeking opinions from anyone who might have been/is in in a similar situation. I am debating whether 1PT a week and drilling a few problem types is enough, or if I should be shooting for 2-3 PTs a week? To me, I get a lot more out of drilling the hardest question types of the problems I struggle with in comparison to taking full tests. Any advice is appreciated!

I am about 60% done with the CC. I plan to test Jun & July. LG is my weakest section however I fear that if I foolproof during the CC I will be stuck on the LG curriculum too long. I have already FP the first 3 PS for sequencing games.

I'm an American citizen but also French and I've lived for 6 years in China- studied there a year and a half and got my bachelor's in France. Also was homeschooled...

So first, how do law schools view foreign educated people?

I got 164 LSAT on 3rd try but my foreign degree from France is supposedly only B level even though they are thought of as good scores in France, and my addendum will be that I actually didn't even speak French when I started the bachelors lol.

I got my transcripts evaluation back only a month ago and it says the studies I've done are not equal to an American bachelor's degree... does that mean I should throw all I've done out the window? Will no top law schools accept that?

Also how much will my international/weird background help me out? or not??

I just don't know where I should apply realistically. I've heard law schools don't really care about foreign GPAs because they don't need to report them.

Thanks a lot for the help >.((/p)
