  • @Yasinkhan107 , congratulations!! I got accepted to UVA Law last week and have 7sage to thank for it too I'm not certain yet if I'll be attending UVA, but it is definitely one of my top choices and I feel so honored to have been accepted, especiall…
  • @TheLoftGuy said: Not boastful at all, I appreciate you sharing. That gives me hope to try harder. If you don't might would you give me a few pointers? Are you only using 7Sage? What is your study schedule? I don't mind at all! Hope this isn't too…
  • @"Alex Divine" said: Congrats! That is amazing... You are going to kill it on game day ;D @"Dillon A. Wright" said: Dillon A. Wright Thanks guys! Didn't mean to sound boastful...just realized it may have come off that way
  • @"Gladiator_2015" said: Next week I'll focus on RC and will try two sections a day with thorough BR. Hopefully the focused approach will result in some improvements. I'm currently averaging -5 to -8 and would love to get it down to a consistent -4…
  • @TheLoftGuy said: What is your GPA? With a high GPA will the the 2 points matter? GPA is 3.85. Based on mylsn data for one of my target schools, I think even a 2 point increase could increase my chances of acceptance by over 50%, so it's definitel…
  • @"Accounts Playable" said: Over time, you'll start to see how formulaic RC really is (just like the games). This is so true! I used to struggle with RC, but after drilling so many passages and focusing on breaking down the right and wrong answers …
  • I also got this question correct on the test but remember being stuck between A and D. I just looked at it again and I can kind of make sense of it. I think A is correct because it correctly restricts the first spot to either Z or W, while restric…

  • @quinnxzhang said: To be precise, your sentence, "If a dog is sick, it will seem tired and lazy", actually expresses the following proposition: Every dog is such that if it's sick, it will seem tired and lazy. The negation of this is: Some dog is s…
  • @quinnxzhang, no hostility implied here, but I don't understand the point of the negation you made. It's definitely possible that I'm wrong, as I often am, but the explanation I gave has worked for me to get the correct answer for every necessary as…
  • The LSAT Trainer says that the negation test means taking the "exact opposite" of the statement. From the examples you included, I assume that you're having trouble figuring out which part of the statement to negate in If/Then statements. By "exact …
  • Hey @Liz L 123 Thanks for responding. I was averaging about 173 on new PTs before I took the June test. RC was my weakest section so I was very surprised to have only missed 2 questions on the actual test (average was about -4). And missing 9 total…
  • Hey @tianwei.l.94 I'm in the exact same boat as you. Scored a 169 on the June test, which was below my PT scores in the 170s. Looking to improve my score on the September test. I also felt like I had a good understanding of the concepts and I some…
  • I'm sorry in advance because this first part is slightly irrelevant to your question, but I thought PrepTest A was super easy (compared to every other PT I took) and in my opinion, it does not reflect what you should expect to see on a newer test. B…
  • @Edmond.Dantes and anyone else who is going to retake in September if your June score isn't what you wanted - how are you planning to study for the retake? I also plan on retaking in September if my score isn't within my target range.
  • On the one hand, I commiserate with you because not knowing our scores is stressful. But on the other hand - there's so much else we can be focusing on now! I allowed myself to obsess over the LSAT while I was in study mode, and to do everything I …
  • Hey thanks for explaining that for me. I think it just tripped me up because it seemed like they were distorting what was actually said in the passage, but I think I might have been overthinking it.
  • @Cant Get Right, your comment above made me tear up when I read it. It transcended simple advice and was the most encouraging and honest thing I've read in a while. Thanks for that
