I know that there are a couple of 7Sagers who ended up quitting their jobs to study. For those who have done this, do you mind telling me your rationale for quitting and whether or not you thought it was worth it?

Thanks!

So all the sudden I cannot print any of the tests or problem sets. Chrome keeps blocking flash player from running. I have given it permission, changed the setting to not have it ask to run flash but run it automatically but it still keeps blocking the test/problem sets from coming up to print in that drop down box.

Edit: I tried firefox and it won't let me even log in to my account even though I am putting in the right user and password.

Any idea how to fix this?

Hi everyone,

I have submitted an application to this one law school about two months ago, but it hasn't get back to me with any official decision yet (not even waitlisted or rejected).

I have email them a LOCI last week, which their office of admissions replied by saying that they will notify the admissions committee of my strong continued interest. But still, no official decision received yet.

Do you guys think I still have a chance to get admitted into this one?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Sorry for not posting this in the question itself. I have premium so I'm not able to access all the explanations.

I’m not understanding the answer to S4 number 4. The problem reads:

I don’t understand why D is right and E is wrong. I do understand the logic of D, but “eradicate” means to kill off entirely. If the black spot and tar spot returned after the pollution decreased, the two diseases were not actually eradicated. For this reason, I selected E, which while imperfect was the only remaining option that strengthened it.

Would love some assistance if anyone can help me out. Thanks! :)

So it seems like for MSS, Main Point, and Weakening/Strengthening there doesn't seem to be much need for using Lawgic language (ex: A some B -> C, therefore A some C). However, when it comes to validity, MBT/MBF, Sufficient/Necessary Assumption there is a large need for Lawgic language. Should we only use Lawgic language for those types of questions, or is there a strategy for this? Can Lawgic language be used for all questions, or only some (in the name of efficiency)?

Hi All!

I’m slightly freaking out...I’ve been relentlessly preparing for the June LSAT and I’ve been so busy working and studying that I missed the deadline to register, and now I don’t know what to do. Is there a wait list I can get on to take it ? Or a late registration fee I can pay? I really didn’t want to go another month to wait and take it in July :(

I have only completed two preptests (yes i realize I am extremely behind for someone writing in June). I intend to write 3 a week from now until June 11. I just wrote my second preptest the other day and I scored a 154 (I was disappointed because in timed individual sections I was scoring in the low 160s). However, the next day I blind reviewed all the questions I had circled and I scored a 166. It was bittersweet because I was excited to know that I have more in the tank but also frustrated when I look at how large the gap is knowing that I have about five weeks left to prepare. I guess the purpose of me coming on here is I wanted to know if anyone was able to significantly narrow the gap between their PT score and BR score and if they have tips for doing that. Ps. I cannot postpone writing the LSAT. My personal and financial situation does not grant me that option so it's now or never kinda thing. So advice that I can use within the next month would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all! June is approaching fast and I keep thinking about taking mental breaks from the LSAT to refresh. I typically go on a run or hang out with some friends. However, when I do this, my next PT/Drill session is the worst! It's like I completely forgot about all of my lessons. I try to do some warm up problems before I take a PT but even then, I find myself re-watching CC videos. Any advice to take a mental break without forgetting things?

I'll likely be in China this coming fall, and I might need to retake depending on how June/July works out for me.

I've noticed that China has three testing centers - Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing. I was wondering if any of you have had an experience at one of these testing centers. They're all within 1 days travel, so I'd like to register for one that has good reviews.

If anyone's taken it in China I'd be super interested to hear about your experience.

So I'm on 9 waitlists right now, wondering when they start moving typically? My understanding is that may 1 is a big day for deposits, so lots of schools are getting an idea for who's committing or not and therefore, in theory, should be letting some waitlisters in soon?

Has anyone gotten in off a waitlist yet this cycle? Or have experience from past years and want to chime in??

Hi there! I purchased 2 copies of the 10 actuals (62-82, I believe) and would like to utilize these for the practice exams. My schedule has other tests listed to print out from 7sage. Does it matter which I use? #help

Kindest regards,

Nico

Hello everyone,

For some reason, I always thought that the difficult questions (4 and 5 level difficulty) are packed at the end of an LR section. So I have been trying to do like the first 14 or 15 questions in the first 18 minutes, and the remaining 10-12 questions in the remaining 17 minutes. But now I am noticing that many of the difficult questions are also in the first part of the section. Which one is right? And is my strategy a bad one? I always find myself not having enough time to answer one or two questions, so I am trying to find the best way to use my time. Note: I am taking the June Test.

Thanks in advance!

I’m not starting CC until next month but I want to practice LG with JYs videos until then, does anyone know which year to start going back from so as not to interfere with practice working through CC (and obv. not burning PTs)

Side note: I’m taking June 2019 so I plan on taking a minimum of 40 PTs over the next year

For some reason, no matter how much I study, I cannot seem to absorb the lessons! I'll only get a few quiz questions right and most I can't understand! I try studying 2 hours if I can after work everyday but it doesn't help me very much. Is there a specific way to help ensure I'm actually learning this properly? I want to take the LSAT in September 2018 but I'm scared I might not learn what I need to in time.

I decided to skip the early sets (1-20) since I figured they'd be significantly different from the more recent sets. I've been doing the sets from PTs 40-60 but decided to go back to the early ones to save some fresh PTs for later. I usually go -0-1 on LGs with at least 5 min left but I've been struggling to finish the whole set on time mainly due to not understanding the rules and not knowing how to begin my setup. Does anybody else find these games harder than the more recent ones? How often do the weird games show up on the newer PTs?

I am considering on registering for the September LSAT. Considering on purchasing the three month course from 7Sage. Would this be worth trying including previous materials I have?

Is no news really good news with admissions???? What does it mean???

So far, I have treated Only A is B as B-->A. So far so good.

Recently, I have come across this question:

Does the statement "only A is B" deny other necessary conditions?

If so, does that amount to A--> (anything not B ) a false statement (such as A-->C)?

Here's why I pose the above question.

The word 'only' seems to imply exclusivity. Take this example: "Only you are the winner of this competition."

(and in this competition, it is possible to have multiple winners. It just happens to be that you are the only winner

I lay this down to rule out 'context' issue)

To me, this sounds like "winner of this competition --> you" and nobody else.

This would logically mean that winner --> (anyone who is not you) be false.

Similarly, if I were to say

"Only A assures B"

For example, Let us assume C-->A; given the statement above, would saying C-->B a false statement?

Related to this question is does this amount to bi-conditional? My gut tells me no, but I am uncertain.

Assuming (only A is B = B-->A and no other necessaries) is true, this does not necessarily mean A = B, since there could

be other elements within B that is not A.

Core c. completed twice , slight increase in over all score (without doing PT's second time) just a post diagnostic. Comprehension has increased but I'm not seeing a huge difference in sore. I've heard of the lsat plateau-- may this is the situation right now. Ive also taken notes on the material twice.

Goal is 155plus (average for school I want in)

current 145 give or take untimed

I've been prepping since mid jan with a PT job.

Now the plan is to focus only on lsat.

I registered to take the june one, but now I am thinking to do a date change for july since I already paid.

I'm not seeing a huge increase - hence I'm getting bored of prep.. and I've already put off law for long enough.

I really want to get in for this cycle. Ive been focusing more on the material then doing PT's.

Question -

-what did you guys find really helped your score - reviewing or doing more questions , timed, untimed .....

-Do I have enough time from now until the july lsat to get to where I need to be ?

is it realistic ?

-And when all is said and done and I get a mediocre score should I still apply ?

After talking with a law school admissions consultant I am second guessing whether the topic of my personal statement, two experiences hiking and camping in the Grand Canyon, is really the best choice. Originally I had planned to write about my undergraduate moot court adventures, but that was mostly because I was under the impression that the personal statement implicitly wanted to know "why law". I'd love to hear from others which direction they would go as well as any insights from their own experience.

Does anyone have experience with a list of all Premise and Conclusion indicators that can be made into flashcards?

Looking to make a set for studying purposes.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thought this was a nice, quick read. I think he gets to the ultimate truth here: At the end of the day it is on us to make our careers happen. Going to a top school helps but, it is on us to make sure it comes to fruition. No one is going to do it for us.

Hi all, this is my first time participating on the discussion board. My name is Savannah and I am preparing to take the LSAT again. I recently discovered this site and have read amazing reviews about the program and wanted to ask some advice. Which package would you recommend and why? I'm torn between wanting to save a few bucks and wondering if I'm just wasting my time. I've took my first LSAT on 9/2016 and second 2/2018 and the third test will be the end of the year. I'm feeling discouraged and really need some help. I've used the LR and LG David Killoran's bibles, a book by Mike Kim and some Kaplan books and so many official lsat prep tests from amazon. The prep courses were too expensive, so I have self studied this entire time. The Killoran bibles were great and helped me to improve on the LG section, but I'm still struggling with the LR and I hate RC so much, that I don't want to talk about it lol.

I planned to take a prep course at some local college this summer, but the two I signed up for ( before paying, thank goodness) were cancelled due to low enrollment.

I guess I wanted a course w/ an instructor to help me understand why I'm getting the questions wrong and to help with test anxiety tips ( In Feb my anxiety was so bad, b/c the proctors kept walking out of the room slamming the door and everyone was coughing). I don't want to be a career test taker, I want to be on my way to completing my goal and really hope this program helps.
