Hello All,

I just recently purchased 7Sage and I/m still trying to get accustomed with the program. However, I was wondering if it is possible to take only one section of the LSAT (Let's say a RC section) and then have the ability to blind review that section through 7Sage. Then proceed to look at the 7Sage provided solutions. I know you can do this with an entire exam, but I'm not entirely sure if you can do this with only one section. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi everyone,

This may or may not sound like an odd question.

I have heard that you are not allowed to speak out loud during the LSAT. So, I have being using my index finger as a guide while I read a LR stim or a RC passage which has helped with my retention of the infos.

I usually find that it helps keep me focused on each sentence and it helps keep me on track if I pause in the middle of reading.

Has anyone had an issue with ProctorU about using their finger as a guide while reading?

16high (Nov'21) --> ??? Jan'22

Looking for advice on prep/study time heading into the January exam. I took a break between the November test and when we got our results back, and then hit the ground running for the January exam. I am now spending about 12-18 hours a week right preparing, and try to get through at least 2 full timed sections in everyday (I alternate between all three pretty evenly) and then one or two practice tests a week on top of that. Heading into the November exam, I was doing almost 30 hours a week, and noticed my scores dipping in the few weeks heading into the exam. I also had a minor proctoring issue in one of the sections that cost me about 3 minutes of time.

I noticed a big jump in my scores from November - I was averaging 169/170 before that test, with a lot of outliers including a 165 and a 175, but now I'm averaging a 172, with a much tighter range of scores. Despite the improvement, I'm freaking myself out that I'm not preparing enough, since I'm doing less than half the amount of studying I was doing before the November exam. Part of me is wondering if maybe I burnt myself out before November. How are other January test takers preparing/managing their anxiety ahead of the test?

Posting this very late b/c I have been busting my butt on the other app materials (personal statement, LOR's, etc.)..... Just want to thank 7sage and the awesome games and LR curriculum. The 7sage LR course was helpful and I got even better by reading LR Loophole after finishing the 7 sage course work (brought me to a -1/-2 consistently on LR). The games curriculum of 7sage was out of this world and brought me to a consistent -0, only thing I did outside of 7sage was do logic puzzles everyday to get my inference muscles really strong. The explanations on this site were extremely helpful through out this process. I would recommend doing all of 7sage's base lessons, using 7sage for LG, using a combo of 7sage LR curriculum as well as the LR Loophole book. As far as RC, it really just takes ALOT of practice and BR'ing to make sure you know why you are eliminating certain answers and confirming pretty much every answer you pick with the text - 25/27 RC questions are directly or indirectly (meaning you have to make an inference from the text) supported by the text. To get my reading speed and comprehension levels up I found the book "Speed Reading With The Right Brain" by David Butler very helpful. If you guys have any questions or need any advice please PM me on here and thank you so much to the &sage team for helping along this wild rollercoaster of a journey!

Hello 7Sagers,

I am facing this issue that when I do questions timed, I have ~70 accuracy in LR, but blind review, it seems so easy I have near perfect or perfect. Time wise; probably double the time to achieve full accuracy. Problem: not understanding the stimulus quick enough. Sometimes I have to re-read it like 4 times before I can make sense of the stimulus. Once I understand then it is relatively simple. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am at about 172-174 Blind review. Thanks!

Hi guys!

I am not a native English speaker. All those twenty years I read English on paper. I am practicing reading English on my computer for the digital LSAT. At first, I thought this won't be that hard, maybe I could find my way quickly. But it's so hard to change my reading habits and make my eyes get used to reading those tiny English letters on the screen. It's completely different if I print those PTs and finish them on paper. I will read more carefully and I can mark the keywords without being distracted. Do you have any tips for me? Thanks again!

Hi everyone, I recently finished my LSAT and I scored a 168. I was averaging 172 on PTs and am willing to tutor a few students 1 on 1 for free. I was lucky enough to get help on my LSAT journey so I wanted to give back. Please dm me on 7sageprep if you are interested. Also, let me know what you are averaging on your PTs as well as when you plan on taking the LSAT.

I seem to be confused on which questions types to expect Alternative-Reversal-Coincidence answer choices when dealing with a causal argument. Is this exclusive to Strengthen-Weaken questions? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I've seen a few discouraged posts on the forum lately..I also had a giant pity party the last three days after taking an LR section and performing so much worse than I should have. I haven't wanted to touch LR since.. heck, I haven't even been interested in celebrating the holidays. Anyways, I was wallowing and wasting time on social media when I saw a post that helped get out of my funk. This isn't anything we haven't heard before but I thought it was well written so I hope it helps some of you as well:

You have given so much to this, and I just hope you know that even here, your work is not in vain. It might take a little longer to arrive where you want to be, but you are still free to take this day by day. Even when you are weary of waiting. Even when you are having to watch others reach the same exact heights you were reaching for, you are not a failure. You are not behind. You will still arrive where you need to be in time. Your story is just going to look a little different. But you will rise anyway. You will find a strength you did not know you had. You will find that even when things did not go according to plan, it did not hinder you from traveling the course. And no matter the additional time it took, it was not too late for you.

PS: if a weird sense of humor is more encouraging to some of you, google "Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It's a Sewer Rat". it'll give you a laugh

Looking to take the test in August; I have taken before without really studying at all, but need a tutor to keep me accountable and on track for Aug 2022. I work full time; so I need to spread out my studying a bit more to cover everything. Weaknesses are RC (90% of my problem) and LR (17-24ish questions, 10% of my problem). Let me know your rate and when available! I can be flexible with hours and do my lunch break etc. since I work from home.

Before I started any courses, I took a diagnostic and got a 154. I got powerscore, studied for two weeks, and got a 166. I was thrilled! If I went up 12 points in two weeks, surely I’d be scoring mid-170s and have my pick of schools - next stop Yale!

Months later reality has set in. I’ve finished powerscore, moved on to 7sage, but keep scoring low to mid 160s on PTs. Has anyone dealt with something like this? And if so, how did you break through to the next level?

Thank you so much.

I am so consistent at being inconsistent. I have had LR sections with -3 and -1 and then I’ll follow that up with -5 and -6. It’s so frustrating because I know I can do this. I want to take this test in January but don’t know if I’ll be ready by then. February is an easy date to shoot for but I want this over with. This test is so damn hard and stressful. I hate it. Ughhhh

I have been using older PTs to create "experimental" sections to add to the three section flex PTs and was wondering if they ever give a test that has the same section repeated back to back (eg. S3 RC experimental and S4 RC). I have unintentionally done this and it seems to really affect my score on the second repeated section. Should I keep preparing for this possibility or do they make sure that tests do not have this?

hi! i've been scoring consistently in the low-mid 170s for the last 2 months. i'm trying to build my mastery even more, and I've found that tutoring other people helps with this. if you would like some tutoring to work through tough LR q's and tough RC passages, or LG, i'd be more than happy to do so for free :) i have time these next few weeks to do so, so HMU!

It used to be that when I clocked on the syllabus, I could see which lessons I had completed/starred. For some reason this isn't showing up anymore. Does anyone know why this might be?

Once you finish the CC, should you just do the most recent PTs (like the most recent 20 or 30)? Or should you start with older PTs then move to some newer PTs so you don't "use up" all of the most recent PTs? I ask because I always hear that more recent PTs are quite a bit different than PTs from, say, ten years ago. I don't want to waste time taking old PTs that aren't very similar to more current tests, but I also don't want to burn through all the newer tests if that's not how it's meant to be done. Any help/advice is much appreciated!

Hi All,

I am just beginning my LSAT journey with 7Sage and was wondering what your strategy was/is with the core curriculum. I see that the lessons begin with LR, then get into LG and RC. Do y’all stick to the curriculum and get LR out of the way first, or jump around between all three in order to balance? I am worried about only doing LR, then the other two and forgetting everything. Please correct me if I am looking at the curriculum wrong, too!

Thanks
