Hello all,

I've completed my PS but have a problem. When I double space the essay manually, I get around 900 words and can fit everything I want to say so badly in the two pages i am given. But when I use the double space function on microsoft word, it shoots me to 2 full pages and a paragraph in the third page. Im trying to cut things out that might be a little redundant but Im hardly getting 700 words and dont think this is appropriate.

Can I get by just double spacing manually?

(P1) A recent study shows that there is a correlation between refusing to think about your problems and getting gum disease.

(P2) Stress causes suppression of the immune system.

(C) The recent study shows that suppression of the immune system causes higher levels of gum disease

(NA) Refusing to think about your problems increases a person's level of stress.

Why do we have to assume that refusing to think about your problems CAUSES increased levels of stress? To me, it just seems that we are only required to assume that those who refuse to think about there problems are more stressed. Maybe it is the stress that causes them not to think about their problems... Who knows! I don't see why we have to assume a causal relationship between the two for the argument to work.

Is it necessary to account for semester breaks during my undergraduate studies? Do I need to provide an explanation?

Do I need to explain my cancelled LSAT test?

I have really bad anxiety but I haven't seen a doctor about it. Do I need to mention this is why I cancelled the score.

Hey guys!

So I have consistently been getting a BR Score that is on average close to my Target score nonetheless getting questions correct and completing them all within the time allotted has proven to be difficult for me.

I would still like to aim for higher than my target score though I only have so much time until the December test so I feel like it's wise to start working on timing now.

I have one month until Test Day. What has worked for you guys in terms of timing for each section?

As for trying to still get those harder LR questions. I plan on drilling down specific question types, however I find that near the end of each LR section is when I start having trouble with questions.

I could not detect the conclusion in the stimulus, therefore initially chose answer choice (A).

After reviewing, I just want to confirm if the conclusion is the sentence that starts with "Increasing the number of electric cars on the road..."

The AMA train continues!

Join me on Wednesday for a great discussion with JY about how I worked my way up to scoring a 177 on the September LSAT.

The short answer: the 7Sage community. It truly kept me engaged and motivated to do my best. We will talk about my LSAT journey, the section strategies that worked best for me, studying phases, and more. It turns out that I actually enjoy this test, and I hope this will be a fun and informative conversation.

I hope to see you there!

Hi guys, so I’m currently studying for the December LSAT & finishing up my essays for the application.

Since the test is in December and I won’t know my score until January, does it make a difference whether I submit my application in December (without knowing my store) vs. in January, once I have received my LSAT score.

Hi @"Alan Cheuk" and @"Dillon A. Wright",

Would it be possible to see answers for LR questions in PT1-17 in the Question Bank?

I know there are no explanations available, so there are only Discussion buttons. But it would be great if we can see the answers quickly. (I have to go to e-docs to see the answers.)

Hi everyone!

I was going over the questions I got wrong and I really do not understand what C is saying. I understand why all of the other AC are incorrect, I also understand why D is correct; however, I am having trouble understanding what C is saying. From what I understand: is C saying that only one cause can have one effect? But isn’t Ray saying that the effect (trunk popping) could be caused by anything other than a pothole? Or maybe I’m not understanding the logic of this question? It was shocking that I got this question wrong because I have usually only been getting questions near the end wrong. I really don’t understand why C is wrong. Can someone please clarify?

Thank you!

I had a friend who told me that everyone has something interesting to say about themselves, and for a long time I wasn't a big believer in that. I thought that I could never think of a good personal statement because my life was too normal and boring, but I whipped one up and after ps swapping with a lot of people the past two days, I definitely feel a lot more inspired so I wanted to pass that on to anyone who was feeling the way I did.

I didn't think my statement was anything special, but I've gotten pretty positive feedback which has given me more confidence, and everyone's I've read has also been great! Even if the writing isn't 100% there yet, every single topic that I've read about has been super unique and so different from my own point of view, and now I really do believe that everyone has something they could write about to make a great personal statement. So good luck!! And feel free to let me know if you want to ps swap :)

After receiving a shocking RC score on the September LSAT, I'm working on improving it for December. I've found that "read for structure" is a common suggestion. I've had trouble implementing that, but when I do manage to do so, the passage is super easy. I've found these common structures for LSAT passages:

If I manage to identify the passage as one of those four things, it's almost like having a road map. Often I won't miss any on that passage. Are there any other obvious structures I'm missing or am I maybe just bad at identifying them?

Hey All,

My law school applications require me to specify how many hours I worked per job, and I also want to mention that in my addendum as well. I cannot remember exactly how many hours I worked for one particular job. I remember that it fluctuated (It started off somewhere in the ballpark of 8-12 hours a week and then it increased later as I needed to make more money. It could have been anywhere from 15 to 25 hours...I don't remember). I left this job around 4 years ago and I've had a good amount of jobs since. Is anyone else having trouble remembering these details? How should I address this?

Thanks!

Hello All

On my LSAT Official Test in September, I got a 152 (my PTs were averaging 155).

I am retaking it in December, and I just purchased the starter package here.

I wanted a 170, not so sure on that anymore but a 165 is my minimum.

Best tips for jumping 13 points?

I'd be upgrading to get access to 9 prep tests (73-81). Is there that much of a difference in the difficulty of the tests that I should invest in upgrading?

Thanks in advance for your input!

In almost every reading passage I've done, there's always ONE paragraph that gets complex and it requires me to take some extra time to re-read and understand that paragraph. But I hesitate to do this bc I feel this monster breathing down my neck yelling me to GO FASTER. Trust me, I KNOWWWWW it's only going to hurt me if I don't understand the passage, so does anyone have any mental tips on how they allow themselves to take extra time to read something when needed? I'm feeling this especially now as I'm doing the memory method and am trying to meet the 3:30 mark.

Also, any tips on how people have come to craft effective low res main points for paragraphs? I feel like I'm missing the mark sometimes....

Thanks!!

I can't believe I missed the date to register. I honestly thought I had longer. I have no idea why. I am kicking myself. I can't talk to my family, or they are going to judge me for not marking my calendar. I am venting. February test here I come, and it looks like I will put off entrance until 2019. Good grief. I guess that'll give me some more time to save some money, and my kids will be a bit older also. I am so angry at myself.

I recently enrolled in ultimate plus and have watched a couple of webinar videos. Almost every video talked about the amazing and supportive community that 7Sage has. I understand that there are study group/BR groups. Can someone tell me how these groups work and further elaborate what is the best way to incorporate the community to maximize my lsat scores? Thanks in advance.

I worked 35+ hours while finishing up community college and then 15+ hours while full time at university. Went from unpaid intern to paid receptionist to legal assistant and received a raise.

Is the sentence that starts with "As plausible as this may sound, at least one thing remains mysterious...," the conclusion of this stimulus?

So the main point would not be whatever comes after the sentence, which mainly talks about how there were no increases in temperature following earthquakes. Therefore, we can eliminate (A) and (D)...right?

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-30-section-4-question-02/

The conclusion in the stimulus, I believe, starts from "However, as a result of its attempt..."

Here, the taxpayer is saying that due to the fiscal irresponsibility of Metro City, they now have to spend a lot more money on reconstruction of its bridges.

However, I thought answer choice (A) is too strong and suggestive of an answer, therefore chose (D) after process of elimination.

Author clearly doesn't state that they 'should' have budgeted more money for maintenance of its bridges. So how is this a MP question? It seems like the stimulus contains premises and answer choice is the actual conclusion--more like a MSS question.

Can someone confirm that the last sentence is the conclusion, and also explain how answer choice A makes sense?

For those of you who have filmed your tests, would you mind sharing your best practices for setups? (Do you use a tripod?) And have you been able to transfer videos off of your phone? I've been experiencing difficulties transferring large video files from my Android phone.

Two days ago I began studying for the lsat. I have never opened a book on the test or had any kind of previous experience with it. I just wanted to see where I was at initially. I made a 146, I was pretty upset. I want to make a 160, is this 14 point jump reasonable to assume I can do that with 4 months of preparation? I’m sorry but I don’t know much about the test in that aspect. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone!

I am wondering how long it took you all to start going -0 to -1 on LG. How many LG sections did you complete by the time you started hitting that -0/-1 consistently?

Thanks! :)
