Took the February test and the proctor made a mess of the time. She cut one section short by three minutes and extended a different section by 7 minutes. Being a 7Sager gave me the focus I needed to get through it without having a panic attack. Although, few test takers didn't fare as well.

Is it worth it? Are the LR drill packets and LG bundle only available through premium? Would love your thoughts. Thanks.

So I was doing a MSS Question, specifically:

LSAT Preptest 20, Section 1, Question 1

After reading the stimulus, I went to the answer choices. Something clicked for me - I went back to the stimulus, read it, and then said “therefore,” then read each answer choice individually until I found one that I felt made a reasonable conclusion, given the set of premises in the stimulus. I settled on Answer Choice B through this method.

Am I onto something?

For the record, I haven’t gotten to the MSS Question type lessons on 7Sage, so if I have merely “discovered” something that JY goes over, please burst my bubble and tell me so.

I want to take the test in June. I know I need to study a lot for the LR and RC. I did not do well in any of those two section. Should I study LG first then LR. Or LR then LG. Strength my LG and LR. Need your advise.

So, I took my December 17 LSAT and received a 135. I self-prepped and had anxiety once i took the exam. I decided to join 7sage and prepped through this course until the Feb exam. I felt confident during the exam but time was running out so I had to guess on a few questions. My main question is, is it a bad thing if I take off an academic year to focus on getting a better LSAT score? I graduate with my undergrad degree in May 2018. I just want to make the right decision because I know many schools do not accept June LSAT scores for the fall.

Thanks 7Sagers !

Hey everyone, I want to announce that you can now search text within a lesson!

Some of you are thinking, "Wait, we couldn't do that before?" Yeah, that wasn't a thing before. But now it is!

Try it out. Let us know if it's working right for you.

I'm in at Yale Law School.

Thanks for all the great LSAT resources, 7Sage!

First off, what type of question is this? I can't tell from the question stem. It seems like it's a cross between a SA and a MSS, but I'm not really sure.

I'm having a little trouble why seeing A is correct. Why can't there be other types of floor surfaces? I thought this was a little too strong.

Is there an official thread for this? I need a distraction (or destruction)

I've been wanting to go to ASU law school for a while now...and it's feeling like a pipe dream. I know it's achievable and it's not like it's Harvard or Yale but I'm having a difficult time with my LSAT and GPA.

I have taken the LSAT twice by now, one was in 2017 February and February of this year. I'm a bit sad because I studied hard to aim for 160+ (a good acceptance rate for the law school of my dreams with my GPA), and I know for a sure that I did not get 160 on this February test.

Last year I got 152, and this year I'm expecting a solid 155 or even less.

With the admissions coming up, I'm still going to apply (again), but I'll have to wait until next year to apply if I get rejected. If I got less than 160 (I'm 99% sure I did, unless I guessed by pure luck), according to the law school numbers, I have about 0% chance of getting accepted.

So next year and the 3rd LSAT it is...

My main question is, when should I take the 3rd LSAT? Should I take it during December...or should I wait until 2019 February again?

Should I take the 3rd one in June that's coming up, and if I don't get the score I need, take a 4th one in December?

What are your guys' opinions?

Hi all,

I'm from Canada and am considering applying to the US.

I'm very interested in entertainment law. I'd like to apply to US law schools, but I'm not sure if it'll be a good idea. First off, I'd have to consider cost of school and could only go with a huge scholarship which is easier said than done. Secondly, I know certain Canadian schools allow you to sit for the bar in certain states, but a friend of mine was speaking of NAFTA regulations, Trump and how Canadians won't be able to just "hop on over to practice". I'd also have to consider immigration, I'm not sure if USA jobs offer this option. Either way, I'm considering all of these things because it is something I intend to consider in the near future.

Thanks

I normally crush the LG section and I found it really hard. I couldn't get past a few inconsistencies (obviously on my end). But I would like to know just quick responses. Harder, typical, or easier than usual?

I have learned so much already, however, I know my best is yet to come.

Pros:

7Sage is truly amazing!

The Casio watch J.Y. recommends rocks during actual testing (I think that is why the price is up to $19.92, yes .92 that is odd right, at the store – but I can tell you it is worth every penny)! While they had a clock in the test center, I would have had zero chance trying to follow it during the live sections. I don’t think I would ever want to test without it – thank you J.Y.!!!!

I believe I scored exactly in line with how I was prepared – nothing caught me off guard – I felt great about my strong sections and struggled in my weak ones.

Understanding where my weak sections are actually fueled my confidence while I struggled through them if that makes sense. In other words, I knew what I didn’t know therefore it did not shake me at all while testing.

Cons:

Here is where I need your help –

I am determined to score a 160+ in June (I have been currently scoring in the low 150’s). Do I just start the course over from the beginning and try to deepen my understanding of all of the fundamentals, or, do I focus on the lowest hanging fruit which for me is by far Logic Games (this is my worst section every time and it is not even close).

I appreciate this community so much – thanks for taking the time to help someone that has been asking a ton of basic questions – I hope to pay it forward someday (after my second test of course, lol)!

Has anyone gone through the coursework who only needed help with one section? My LG is very weak but my LR and RC are already where I need them to be for test day. Has anyone been in this situation starting off with 7sage? Did you find going through the entire course worth the time, or have another approach to using the 7sage resources?

I took the test this morning in Irvine, California. An incident occurred that I suspect many test takers will file formal complaints regarding. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea what might happen with the test or the scores. Details are as follows:

A test taker showed up at roughly 8:40am, at this time the proctor had already started reading the instructions but the test had not begun. This test taker also brought a large handbag and a cell phone. The proctor told the test taker to place her bag at the front of the room, to which the test taker asked if she could keep it under her desk instead, the proctor correctly responded no. By this point, no mention was made of her visible cell phone, so I spoke up and told the test taker to turn off her cell phone immediately. The test taker turned to the proctor and asked if she could use her cell phone to keep time, the proctor correctly responded no. All of this to say, that there is no possible way the test taker read any of the rules before arriving, or she read them and willfully chose to disregard them. Which also means her signature on the test ticket wasn't a truthful agreement by any stretch. Despite all of this the proctor still registered the test taker and showed her to her seat.

The story doesn't end there

Halfway through section 1, the test taker broke into a violent coughing fit. These coughing fits proceeded intermittently every couple of minutes, and continued until the start of the second section. During the second section the proctor dismissed the test taker to the relief of the rest of us in the room.

During the break and after the test, several test takers communicated their intent to report the disturbance to LSAC, as the coughing fit was extremely distracting, also the proctor obviously violated a number of rules by still admitting the test taker. I'm wondering what has LSAC typically done during situations like this? Will they cancel scores by request without penalty? Will they call a "mistrial" and require a retest for everyone? Can I still keep my score if I want to?

I'm concerned because despite the disturbance I think I did okay, and I would like to keep my score and be done with testing.

If anyone has similar experience or knows what typically happens in cases like this, sharing your insights would be much appreciated.

According to this video, it seems like the Secret Service tests heavily on conditional logic. Try to see how many questions you can get right!

Hi! I'm practicing Must Be True/Most Supported questions and am having trouble with understanding why B is the correct answer as opposed to D. Answer D seems more like a paraphrase which is why I thought it's correct. Would love an explanation. Thanks!

Does anyone else feel incapable of relaxing post exam. Almost like studying separation anxiety lol

The Lsat has now ruined my:

Thanks for all the warm warm wishes of death, X's & O's (which I wasn't planning on getting anyway), and holiday hopes & dreams.

Love,

Is C right because its requires you to assume that since the number of large/med tornadoes reported has stayed the same, then the number of small tornadoes reported has increased? I'm not sure how one could see this answer strengthening the argument without making this assumption.

Hi why is C wrong? Wouldnt commercial development lead to more humans which lead to more mammals which eat the plants? I had a hard time distinguishing between C and D.

I am doing really well at the CC this year (as opposed to last year when I skimmed through it), getting 100% on most of the problem sets, and if I ever get a question or two wrong I'm getting them right upon BR. I know i've only gone thru the easier question types but I still feel good about my progress. I have been going through all of the problem sets (not saving any for later). I'm 20% done with the CC. I'm at the strengthening problem sets.

I'm wondering if I should start drilling MP/MSS/Weaken/Strengthen LR questions, maybe mixing together 25 of them of varying difficulty levels and taking them in 35 min like a full section in the test? So I can start working on my pacing. I don't see the point of drilling full LR sections from PTs as I have only learned how to do a few question types.

Or should I just drill sections of the exam when I am done with CC?

Since the question types do all relate to each other, and since I am reviewing my notes every day, I do not think I am necessarily doing myself a disservice by not repeating previously learned question types every day as I go through the CC.

I don't understand how E can be the correct answer. There actually appears to be no correct answer. The LSAT relies heavily on Formal Logic and applying a healthy dose of Logic to this answer dictates that every feature in slots 1-4 must contain either an "I" or an "M". Otherwise, you are a floater and can be anything. It should translate visually into this:

~5 ---> I or M

Alternatively, 1-4 ---> I or M.

In other words, slot 5 can also be I or M. The newspaper can have five M and one I without breaking any rules.

It appears a little bit like a double standard in this case as I can't see any way E conflicts with the rules using Formal Logic.

I cancelled once, got a 160, and feel like I probably got a low 160's on the Feb Test. I have had many PT's of 170 or higher. I'm now thinking of taking the Sept test and just working the next 6 months on the LSAT. It feels ridiculous to have taken the test 4 times. And I know without a doubt that if I practice for 6 more months, and in a more in depth not scrambling mode (took sept, dec, and now feb) I can at least go high 160's. But how would a school look at a C, 160, 162 (guess), and then let's say a 168. Would they just take the highest score. Would they be forced to average? Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hey all,

I just did #16 from PT 53, Section 1 --

the stimulus has clear conditional logic indicator words ... like "must," "any", etc. but after I watched the video explanation, i realized that answering the question does NOT use conditional logic/diagramming.

when i first tried to do the problem , I tried using conditional logic -- but got no where.

In the JY's video explanation, he doesn't use conditional logic -- EVEN though there are conditional indicator words.

How do you know whether to diagram (or NOT) -- especially when there ARE conditional logic indicator words?

Many thanks!
