I swear no matter how fast I go I cannot finish an entire RC section. I have no problem finishing LR and LG. But for some reason I can’t get through this section in 35 minutes. I usually have 5 minutes remaining with an entire passage left.

What have you guys done to speed up RC without making a bunch of silly mistakes.

Was wondering if there is a difference between a question asking for the overall conclusion of an argument vs main conclusion vs summarizes the main point ?

Iv noted that some AC summarize the MP, and some will literally restate the sentence that has the MC,

Thoughts?

'even without' does not seem to follow our group 3 indicator rules....

Ella can pass even without giving her presentation

Using Group 3 rules I came up with /pass --> give ppt

but that doesn't make any sense....what the sentence is really trying to say is not ( pass ---> ppt ) which amounts to pass and /ppt

very diff to mechanically following group 3 rules....

thinking harder about this and it doesn't matter whether it is without or even without group 3 logic doesn't hold nonetheless...

am i missing something here??

Hi everyone, so I'm about to send in my first application today (gulp), and I was wondering how people have formatted their short answer responses? This school has multiple possible prompts, so should I copy paste the question I'm answering at the top of my word doc/PDF, or should I just assume it'll be obvious which prompt I'm writing about and just upload the clean text? The short answer questions are fairly distinct.

Over my last 5 tests I have averaged a 156.6. With my high being a 160. My goal is a 167. I took the LSAT in September with a 155 and I've signed up for the December LSAT. I feel like I have been putting in a lot of hours, and without seeing the returns I feel like I should be getting. I am a splitter (hopefully). I have a GPA of 3.25. My letters of recommendation are pretty strong. I've done all the CC. Should I take the February LSAT instead? Should I sign up for an in person class? It feels like I am at the edge of breaking my score and getting where I want to be, but I've also felt like that since before the September LSAT. My huge worry is that I have not been studying for the LSAT in the most efficient way possible.

Quick question: is it OK to submit solely letters of recommendation from professors that I had during graduate school? In my case, I have one professor and one supervisor from work (I have been out of grad school for almost 4 years). I guess a follow up question could be whether I should get more professors from graduate school (I can ask another one).

Thanks!

With the CC almost done and the LSAT in December, what is the best thing to work on to improve my score?

What info do you guys need from me to best answer my question?

I've been averaging I'd say 160 on PTs, around 165 as of now for BR?

Thanks

Hey, I have not been able to access my notes for a couple days now. Originally, I thought it was just my computer, but then I went to the library and tried getting in and I had the same error. It just says that part of the 7sage is down, which is weird because I'm able to access every other section on the site.

Anybody else having issues? By the way, I tried opening it in an incognito window and I also restarted my computer and the one at the Library but still had the same result

I have a meeting with my letter of rec writer tomorrow and I'm wondering what I need to bring re the insurrections on LSAC. Is there a form she needs to fill out?

Quick study break thought... I wonder ... should I ever get the chance to meet JY in person, maybe something like a 7Sage Ashram retreat (which probably operates more like a happy hour), if JY would speak to us at 1.2x. I find 1.44x quite unnatural, but also I'm quite impatient at 1.0x speed for the wisdom as well.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have a method for memorizing Valid Args? I know #1-#6, But I’m struggling with #7-#9. Feel free to share. Open to suggestions. Thanks!

Im having a bit of a mental block as how to knockout AC B, i know E is right but can someone help me get rid of B?

I am having a really hard time figuring out how my time in the military falls into my law school application process. I'm not sure if I should focus on it in my personal statement, or to write a diversity statement for it, or maybe both. I'm not sure if being in the military makes me "diverse" in the sense the schools want. Obviously the military makes me different than a lot of other applicants, but I'm just not sure how.

I also don't want to use the veteran card to heavily. I do want schools to consider me on my merits, and for whatever reason, saying I'm a vet feels like I'm using the "easy way out". I'm not sure if I can explain this better. I'm sure my fellow vets will get it.

So is a diversity statement a proper place to address my military experience?

I am having so much trouble getting more than half of In/Out game questions right. I have a moderate grasp on conditional rules and when they trigger or fail, but I’m so slow at In/Out games because I can’t set the rules up well because I get thrown off by “not both” rules. I’m taking the December 2 LSAT, so I don’t have time to pay for and go through the course on here. Any advice on how to nail this type of game?

I have been wanting to write this post for a while now.

I started studying in the End of July 2017, finished the CC and took my first PT on August 31st with a very disappointing score (152). Throughout the CC I felt very confident in my understanding of the concepts so the score threw me off a little. All of August I had fool proofed games, but a new 6min game would still take me upto 10 on fresh PT's.

September, I made the mistake of doing timed sections instead of drilling LR and RC and did not see much of an improvement. All of October I drilled LR and RC and I do feel a lot more confident looking at the questions now.

However, My timed score is still between 152-155. I BR between 165 and 172. With 3 weeks until test day, I got a 153 yesterday which is so disappointing.

I know I'm capable of scoring in the 170's. And i've been studying full time for 4 months, so this is just really frustrating. To give you some background, I had my own company for the past 2 years, we hit a roadblock in May and that's when I finally decided to take the plunge and attempt the LSAT. I'm 25 and live in India right now. Making it to this admission cycle was very important to me since I'm very unclear with where to work for the next 2 years incase I don't make it in this cycle, since i'm at a point where i'm completely switching my career.

I'm unsure of what i'm doing wrong with my prep, since while drilling I feel fairly confident. Maybe i'm just not good with testing under timed conditions? If that's the case, how do I get over my timer anxiety.

I'm sorry if this sounds like a rant, but switching careers isn't common in India and no one around me really gets the amount of stress i'm under. I would love any inputs :)

Typically I go -2 to -0 on LG, -4-5 on LR, and -2-5 on each LR. Right now my schedule looks like this:

Sunday: 1 LR & LG timed section; BR

Monday: 1 LR& RC timed section; BR

Tuesday: 1 LR & LG timed section; BR

Wednesday: Full PT; BR

Thursday: 1 LR & RC timed section; BR

Friday: 1 LR & LG timed section; BR

Saturday: Full PT; BR

I'm also a full time student with a part time job, so I probably miss one day a week, but I kinda see that as a mental day off tbh. For those of you who have made the 170 jump, do you remember when it clicked? If you had been doing anything specific?

Hello everyone,

I am taking the December LSAT at a nonpublished center in Luxembourg. This is all due because of the hurricane in Florida and me moving to Luxembourg shortly after the September test was cancelled. I contacted the LSAC and they graciously helped me sort everything out. I'm nervous because I do not know what to expect from a nonpublished center. Has anyone ever taken the exam at a nonpublished center? Will I be the only student in the room? I'm just worried about all the things that could go wrong. Anything that can be in my advantage?

Thanks guys!

Hi, what do people normally do the day of the test? Does anyone do a few questions or should I avoid looking at practice material? Thanks :)

7Sage Fam -

What was the score of your first preptest after finishing the core curr.? Looking not to boast or brag, but rather to gauge my progress and hopefully motivate all of us. Further, how much have you improved since that preptest (PT 36)?

My diagnostic was a 152, and I just scored 168 on PT36. Looking to be consistently around 175. Any tips are welcome!

Thanks all

Hi guys!

So usually I'm pretty good at timing but for some reason today I was off. How can you tell if you're spending too much time on a game? I'm usually good at telling if I'm spending too much time on a specific problem but I'm asking for a game in general. How much time is recommended for a harder game?

Thanks in advanced!

Do you guys have suggestions for how to take a video of a practice section/PT on the Samsung Galaxy S6? I've been using the default Camera app and I almost always have problems with the video cutting out after 1-5 minutes or with the quality of the video which is sub-par.

Hello all!

I have another addendum question. I know this may have been answered in previous discussions, but I wanted to get a clarification just in case. I received my CAS academic summary report and my GPA has fallen by .1. LSAC doesn't count grades received from studying at a foreign institution and my grades during my semester abroad, which were pretty strong, have been discarded. Would it be beneficial to write an addendum? I know that the admission committees receive copies of our official transcripts, but I'm not sure how much attention they really give them.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi!

I am having trouble seeing the value in blind review because every time I honestly do it, I never change any of my answers. A few facts about my situation: I have 100% more time and find myself finishing the sections with time to review (this may not be true on test day because of the nature of my accommodated disability), I am scoring average 172, missing an average of 4 questions in the LR, and I've increased my score from 134.

When I blind review, I go through the answers I have circled and make sure I am positive they are correct. I maybe change an answer 1/100 times. My question is: if I'm not getting anything out of it, is it worth the time to blind review? It is actually causing me stress because I'm not getting any value on something that most test prep companies advertise as the holy-grail.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Is this common for 170+ scorers?

I'm filling out my application now and this is confusing me. For context, there's "Major" with a drop-down list, and right below is "Other Major," where you type the answer.

For "Major" I put "BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT - OTHER." My actual major is "Business Law," which is not in the drop-down list. Am I supposed to put "Business Law" for "Other Major?" Or is that for a 2nd major?
