The question stem in this question reads: "In order for the conclusion that Bevex is safe for people to be properly drawn, which one of the following must be true?"

Before doing blind review, I labelled this question as a MBT question (as is also labelled on 7Sage). However, after some thought, this question seems much better suited as a SA question. Does anyone agree?

hi guys, ive been studying for the LSATs since Feb 1st. Ive been taking a course along with the 7sage course. I took a diagnostic test the very first day of my LSAT class and scored a 126 (no knowledge of anything).

After studying a good amount of the basics, I scored a 142 two weeks after my first exam.

i’ve continued to take the course and have been referring back to 7sage when I have had a hard time understanding in-class course material.

My third practice test, i scored a 143. my fourth one scored a 144. and my fifth one today (3rd month of studying) I scored a 145.

ive been getting 7-8 wrong on RC and LG for each PT (which I am fine with at the moment) for each practice exam, but I can’t seem to get more than 20 right on the LR portion. Since my second practice test, I have gone back through all my course material, bought the LR bible and gone through the whole thing, and have made notes in a seperate notebook on all the problems I had a hard time solving/problems I got a mistake on.

i go through every answer choice and write down why a specific answer choice is wrong/right and why I chose the answer choice I chose.

Ive graduated college so all my focus is on the LSAT and i have been spending 30-40 hours a week.

I have seen no improvement in my score at all.

I’m starting to think that the LSAT is not for me and becoming very discouraged. Everyone else in my LSAT course has taken the same amount of courses as I have and are sill students/ working a full time job and soending significantly less time studying than i have. and they have been scoring a 162+ without hesitation.

Any recommendations on studying/improving my score?

there isn’t really a ‘specific portion’ of the LR that im struggling with. sometimes i would get a bunch of flaw quesions wrong, and sometimes I won’t. It seems to be all over the place. If I was getting a specific aet of questions on the LR wrong, it would give me an idea of where i would need to improve but I have nothing to base it off of.

Hi everyone!

I started by LSAT journey about 1 year ago. Before I had even heard of 7Sage, I took a PT and scored a 159. Then I did some studying with some other materials on-off for a few months. Because I work a full-time job and because I am not particularly good at managing my time, I was very inconsistent with my studying.

I came across 7Sage last summer and decided to sign up. I slowly made my way through the curriculum over the next 7 months (again, I wasn't super consistent, but I always did my best to get back on track).

Yesterday, I took my first PT after finishing the curriculum. 172 (178 BR).

The lessons and materials on 7Sage are superb and really helped me get to this point. I'm feeling really good about practicing more and improving before I take the LSAT in June.

For everyone starting out, don't try to rush the process. If you have a lot going on in your life (full time job, kids, fighting crime), don't feel bad about taking a little longer to get ready for this test. I'm really happy that I didn't rush into taking the LSAT last year. I've been studying on and off for over a year now, and I feel really good about the position I'm in.

After careful deliberation over many weeks, we’ve selected two winners for pro bono admissions consulting. We received dozens of applications from all around the world, and we were tremendously impressed by your stories.

While we couldn’t help everyone we wanted to, we believe that these two individuals are uniquely positioned to benefit from admissions consulting.

Our winners are:

In recognition of their outstanding applications, we also decided to offer free Edit Once packages to our three runners-up:

Congratulations to Nabintou, Nour, Guilnara, Jasmine, and Georgia, and thanks to everyone else who took time to prepare an application.

*This is not an April Fool's Day joke.

First off, I love 7sage for helping me achieve a decent LSAT score and also the admissions site was extremely helpful as well. The only thing I think is glaringly missing from the admissions curriculum is a section on negotiating scholarships. I imagine there are A LOT of accepted students out there in the same boat as me - comparable scholarships from a few comparable schools trying to decide where to attend, with one of the biggest priorities being who will give me the most money? There is some good info out there on the interwebs about it but I would definitely love to see a well-vetted 7sage take.

All that said, I'm wondering if anyone with experience negotiating can answer this for me:

What is the best way to contact admissions to ask about negotiating a scholarship? By email? By letter attached to an email? By snail mail?

Any other advice would be appreciated too. As seat deposits start to come in and others start to withdraw, it'll be negotiating time soon (rubs hands together)

Thanks!

I've been studying for about four months now, at first I started out getting -8 on LR. I did the core curriculem, and I'm still getting -8 on LR. I go back and BR, I write down the types of questions I got wrong. I go back to core curriculem or the LSAT trainer and focus on those questions. The one silver lining is, I'll get -5 every now and then on my second LR section, and it's always my second LR section that I do better on, but yea. I know this takes a while but it's just very frustrating. Not sure what to do guys. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I did see a post on distinguishing these argument forms a little while ago, but my question is when are these applicable? I only imagine that these are helpful with SA, PSA, F/DW, type questions, though I imagine it could be useful in all question types. Are there any other sections of the LSAT where this lesson will be needed? How often/where do you find yourself coming back to these forms while studying or PTing?

Finally done with the LR section of CC and going through my notes.

I dont remember which exact LR question this is from but I remember one of the questions said something along the lines of "doing A will ensure that B happens."

I have in my notes A -> B, but I want to make sure I didnt write that down wrong.

It sounds like A is sufficient for the occurence of B, not that A is necessary to make B happen.

Thoughts?

I ran through the whole 7 sage course (without PTing) and then I decided to hold off the LSAT and now I started to review all the concepts all over again. I've noticed that I improved a little bit (re-taking Problem Sets), but not a lot. I am not really sure how to study for it, anymore. If anyone can please give me tips or help me create a study schedule that would be great.

Hi, everyone!

Is anyone willing to read through and provide feedback on my Statement and Supplement for my applications this fall? I'm happy to do the same for you! I can share via Google Docs.

Thanks,

Storm

Curious to know what you all are doing to combat burnout!! Not looking for general advice about burnout, I just want to know what YOU are doing! You're my motivation :)

I am taking June so I have ~10 wks until the test and I feel like every second of studying counts but at the same time I am currently feeling heavy burnout. I am trying to take frequent breaks (a few hours or so) throughout the week to deal with it but today I feel like I need the whole weekend off. I just want to meditate and online shop haha

I'm assuming at least a few of you are in a similar position - whether it's feeling burned out, feeling guilty for taking breaks, or just generally feeling the weight of the coming test (lol I'm calling it dooms day).

What's your plans for the next 10 weeks to maximize learning/brain space and avoid burnout??

Hi Guys,

Can anyone explain the differences between

Marxism

Socialism

Communism

Capitalism

Fascism

Nazism

Differences between these with examples or any Video explanation?

Thanks in Advance. :)

Just wanted to say this because my boyfriend is sick of listening to me talk about the LSAT.

I took a practice test two weeks ago and literally cried in the library. It was pretty much the worst thing in the world. But then, I took a PT today at 45 minutes per section. I did this to give myself the chance to actually get through the test. And then it happened.

I tackled a LR, logic heavy question 18 or something like that. I smiled in the middle of the test because I ACTUALLY DIDN'T FREAK OUT! I answered the question confidently because I spent the last two weeks BR'ing drilling. I don't know if I got the question right but I'm just happy that I attempted the question!

That's the breakthrough moment and it feels sooo good. So believe me, it feels like the end of the world now but just wait till you kill the LSAT on game day.

Hi everyone,

I am aiming for the June LSAT and am already underway in my LSAT studies. After seeing previous discussions on how useful the Ultimate+ is, I am torn as I feel time is limited at this point. If I purchase the ultimate+, and say I have already practiced curriculum suggested for the first two weeks, would any of you recommend starting from week 3 and carry on this way?

I am definitely a rookie, so I appreciate everyone's suggestions/feedback!

Thank You Victoria for the gif to support the SG!!- @teamteamvicster (3(/strong)

I hope you're ready or gearing up to start PTing for the June 2018 LSAT. Join us this Tuesday if you are finished with the CC.

Provisional Schedule: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=f3n8s2l60gkgm2ju8m8kk4vhn4@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York

Note:

For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able on your own; then join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” KEEP THE CORRECT ANSWER TO YOURSELF. Win the argument with your reasoning.

These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via GoToMeeting and intellectually slaughter each test.

Enter any questions you wish to go over on the spreadsheet below!

I would like to retire around 40.

Barring crazy circumstances --inheriting money from a long-lost uncle, inventing the next FB, etc-- what would that look like with a law degree? I am 22 right now, plan to start law school in '19 and be finished by '22, at 26. Would you go Big Law for 14 years and try to make partner really early? Try to find a niche and start your own law firm? Consult? Work internationally? I live a very modest life, have no undergrad debt, and can't see myself living "big" even if I had the money. Would love to hear your advice or anecdotal stories of people with law degrees who were able to retire a lot earlier than 65 (and who actually used their law degree to do so).

Thanks!

I began studying for the LSAT shortly after I graduated from undergrad, about 5 years ago. I scored a 145 diagnostic. Since then I've taken the test 3 times officially, and my scores are 160, 160, 161. I haven't been studying intently the entire 5 years, I'll go for a few months of intense studying and then I'll take a few months break, etc. This is my "make or break" year to apply as I can't continue in this cycle anymore, and I am feeling sick and stressed already. My goal is 170+ so I can get into a T14 law school with my not so stellar 3.3 GPA in Poli Sci/Psych.

I am beginning to feel that my dream of attending a T14 law school is slipping, and it's depressing. I'll take diagnostic preptests that I've taken 2-3 times before and score 165-168 on them, though I know those numbers are inflated because at some point I probably encountered the question, even if I don't remember the exact answer.

I guess my questions are 1) Now that LSAC has lifted the 3 tests every 2 year requirement, is the fact Ill have 3-5 test scores on file going to diminish my chances? 2) At what point do I throw in the towel and say I've reached my maximum potential on this test? I work full-time, study about 3 hours a night on weekends and 6-8 hours a day on weekends and my personal life is taking a hit and I'm not getting any younger.

I've been told I could apply to a lower ranked school and likely get in with a scholarship, but I have high standards for myself. Does anyone have any tips for me? I'm not the type to give up, but I've never felt so discouraged in my life, and this test has been a chip on my shoulder for 5 years, and the weight is starting to take its toll on me.

Hey 7Sage,

While 7Sage Editor @Ben.Mauk was helping you get into law school, he was also, apparently, writing a feature on a stateless people in Cambodia who live in floating villages. This article is an absolute stunner:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/03/28/magazine/cambodia-persecuted-minority-water-refuge.html

Here we go again:

Thanksgiving

Christmas

New Years

& now Passover/Easter.

Thank you once again for ruining more weekends & holidays. In less than 6 months, I've had more anxiety and less patience than anything else through out my existence.

Does anyone have experience taking a mock class in open house? The school gave us a case to study to prep for class and I dont know what to expect. The class will be taught by the dean

Hey guys, I'm doing some LR drills and I can't seem to wrap my head around the correct answer for this question. Here's my lawgic for the stimulus:

L(LCF) --> FA --> ~~MR~~

L~~LCF)~~ --> S --> ICW --> MR

~~S~~ --> ~~ICW~~ --> ~~MR~~

When doing the drill, I picked C because: S --> ICW --> ~~MR~~ must be false. The sufficient is satisfied so the rule must trigger, which means that MR can't be negated.

According to the question bank, though, D is the correct answer. My lawgic translation for that choice is as follows: ~~S~~ --> ~~ICW~~ --> ~~MR~~

It seems to me that D could be true. I know I'm missing something, but I just can't see it. Any insight, my friends?

Hey everyone,

Ever since I've been studying, I've had some trouble with parallel flaw/reasoning questions. Not really sure what it is about them that's giving me so much trouble, but out of all the question types, I've seen the least improvement with these two. How do you approach these questions? What is your strategy, and what, if anything, helped you perform consistently well on these two question types?

Thanks for the help.

Has anyone successfully figured out how to do so? I've only been half successful at this. I read somewhere that there was a way to do so. Am I even allowed to do this?
