🙃 Confused

Context vs. Premise

Hi! I am starting to get into deeper content analysis after doing a good bit of practice, I want to get some clarification on how to discern the difference between premises and context, for the sake of the author's argument. This is a general area that could help me, but the question came up originally when I was reviewing Argument Part questions.

Does anyone have recs for questions/drills I can do to improve on alternative hypotheses? I'm practicing S/W/E but this flavor always trips me up!

Ex: this argument is strengthened/weakened by proving/disproving an alternative hypotheses

😖 Frustrated

No Access

A couple of weeks ago, I made sure to transfer my account from the old website to the new one. I also reviewed all the lessons in the new platform's Core Curriculum that I had already completed on the old site, just to ensure I was fully up to date with my studies.

However, after taking a short break, I logged back in today and found that I can no longer access any of the lessons—despite having already transferred my account and being actively billed. All the lessons are locked, and whenever I click on one, I'm met with the message "You need to activate LawHub Advantage on your connected LawHub account. An active LawHub Advantage account is required to access 7Sage subscription content." This wasn’t required before, and now it seems I’m being asked to pay an additional $120/month for a LawHub Advantage account just to access content I’ve already paid for. I don't understand, so it would be great if someone could get back to me about this. I'm really hoping it's just some technological mishap.

Hey guys! I need some help! So, I've taken the LSAT in June and officially scored a 164, but on my PTs I averaged mid to high 160's. I have only ever broken 170 on a blind review PT (I got a 173). Other than that, I struggle to break out of the 160's. I am registered for the August LSAT; how do I break 170's by then?

With one admissions cycle closing and another about to open, Tajira McCoy and her panel of law school deans field a series of questions many applicants consider at this point of the admissions cycle:

When does it make sense to reapply in the coming admissions cycle (and do I really need to change my personal statement)?

What if I decide to attend the best school that admitted me and then try to transfer next year?

What are the considerations for transfer admission, especially given new trends in legal recruitment?

And, heck, have you ever wondered why you’re doing this Our deans’ give advice to their past selves about the doors and opportunities a legal education will open for them.

All that - and more - is covered in the latest roundtable.

OC Study Group

Hi, anyone in the OC area in California want to form a study group? I'm taking the September LSAT. I would be open to any virtual or in-person study groups, preferably with others who's current PT's also range from the low to high 160s.

Video lessons

I'm not sure if it's no longer a feature on the new website, but how do I access the video lessons of the core curriculum? It's easier for me to listen to it as if it's a lecture than just read it all on my screen.

I did a level 4 MC question earlier (PT 126/S1/Q18 if you're curious), and I am realizing that I struggle knowing how to differentiate the context from the conclusion. Sometimes, typically on easier questions, it is obvious to me, but on harder ones like this, it is hard for me to understand it. I am fairly good at differentiating support from the conclusion, but the context throws me off since it is sometimes used as a reference rather than as support.

Does anyone have any tips? Thanks!

I was doing a section and my battery died on my laptop. And when I came back 7sage did not detect that I had left the test abruptly, or lest not the way I anticipated.

the timer stopped but then updated and I lost 4 minutes. Its ust for minutes, and I'm still new, but as I get further and work on my timing more, I feel like this would be very disruptive.

I just want it to hit the pause button for me for cases like this, even if I lose the time for it to recognize and check, that is still better than 4 minutes.

What does it mean when you finish a drill and it says recommended for BR? I just did an RC drill and it recommended 3 questions for BR even though I had gotten all the questions correct initially. This made me think that my original answer was incorrect and so I searched for another answer even though what I had originally put down was correct. I am wondering how these questions are flagged as recommended for BR?

Hey everyone,

I'm pretty worried about the testing environment, especially around fidgeting. I tend to fidget a lot, things like touching my face or subvocalizing (even without sound) are big coping mechanisms for me, and I've been "warned" about them in other proctored exams. I've heard rumors that the LSAT is super strict about this stuff.

I'm planning to take the test in person, hoping the testing center might be a bit more understanding since they have more direct control over the testing environment. Has anyone else dealt with similar issues? Any advice or tips on managing fidgeting during the LSAT, especially for an in-person test?

Thanks!
