I've really struggled with precede and how it's sometimes implemented in certain questions. Please let me know if what I have below is correct.

Setup:

1 comes before 2.

2 comes after 1.

1-2

Truths:

"Follow"

I follow 1. (Spoken as 2)

2 follows 1.

2 followed 1.

2 had/will/did follow(ed) 1.

2 is following 1.

1 is followed by 2.

"Precede"

I precede 2. (Spoken as 1)

1 precedes 2.

1 preceded 2.

1 had/will/did precede(ed) 2.

1 is preceding 2.

2 is preceded by 1.

"Proceed"

I proceed 1. (Spoken as 2)

2 did/will proceed 1.

2 proceeds 1.

2 had proceeded 1.

2 is proceeding 1.

1 is proceeded by 2.

So whenever I sit down to study and have a hard time getting something I get super stressed. I noticed that my mind looks for an escape and I just open a new tab and wander just to avoid the stress.

Anyone experience anything like this? Any advice?

Hello,

I had a massive panic attack at night time the night before my November 2021 exam. I was wondering if any of you have experienced this and what advice you could give me moving forward? I will be taking the January exam 2022 and I want to be fully rested, relaxed and confident.

I would appreciate any/ all advice :)

I have gone through all the books out there. The bibles, Manhattan prep, Cassidy, someone on tikTok recommended something... I legit went through them all but nothing makes sense like 7Sage.

This platform is legit, and it also makes sense like I am learning these concepts on the same machine I will use to take the test! The commentary by JY is enlightening. The discussion posts are on point. And the AI behind this thing is insane!

thank you everyone at 7Sage. This platform is worth every penny.

My LSAT journey has, at long last, come to an end and I have several books that are now in need of new homes. As I am in Seattle and shipping is expensive for the heavy tomes, I will only be offering them for local pickup. One per customer, and please only request if you are unable to afford these on your own. I know some LSAT materials can be cost prohibitive, it is my hope to mitigate that for a few folks. Here's what I've got:

-The Loophole in Logical Reasoning

-10 Actual, Official LSAT Preptests (52-61)

-PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible (2015 edition)

-PowerScore LSAT Logic Games Bible Workbook (2015 edition)

-The Fox LSAT Logic Games Playbook

Please PM me to request, again, only if in the Seattle area!

Hi, I am blind and I have been approved for 151% additional time; however, when I take the practice test here, the only option is between 50% additional, 100% additional, and 1XX% additional time but not 151%.

It would mean a lot if you could perhaps give that option or add an option where students can add custom time they wanna take to finish a set.

To prove my request, I can also email the accommodations letter issued from LSAC.

Please advise

Hi, I am approved for my accommodations, and it is my understanding that the most time you can get is 100% extra time but, going through practice test I see an option for 186% time? Is it possible to get accommodations for 186%? or is 100% extra time the most LSAC can provide?

I have MS and am blind.

Hi all,

Helpful insight would be appreciated; I am practicing my "translating" my Sufficient & Necessary conditional statements.

"Only" is a "group 2" operator that introduces the necessary condition, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out why this matters in certain simplistic contexts.

Consider the statement: "Only cats meow."

M --> C

/C --> /M

But with "only" sentences, it seems like the reverse logical operation is also true.

C --> M

/M --> /C

Am I simplifying it too much? In other words, is this logical reasoning or rule only relevant when ideas are more complex?

Thanks,

Hello all,

Recently, I have noticed, studying around 3 hours per weekday, in the mornings, has had great results for me with little stress.

What are some of your sweet spots, in terms of hours studying per day? I’ve heard of some waking up early and studying multiple hours before work—I work full-time as well—and others saying they break up their prep into 30 minute chunks throughout the day every day. What are some of your habits?

Best,

Gabe

Hello everyone,

I’ve noticed many people on the internet talking about the recent phenomenon of “inflated LSAT scores.” In true LSAT fashion, is this a myth? Reality? If it is real, can someone help provide me an explanation for this phenomenon?

Thanks

Like the title says. Looks like MCAT is in-person now.

Hi All!

I recently made myself a personalized weekly/daily planner to help with my study goals/habits. I'm the kind of person that loves to-do lists, tracking, and crossing things off so I find myself being more successful when using it. Happy to email anyone the template if it might be helpful (PM me your email). I typically just print out the pages at the beginning of every week.

Episode #60 is here!

I saw on the preptest list there is pt 90 may 2020 and pt 90 without a date attached to it. Are those two different exams?

Hello Sagers,

I took an LR section today and I came to a realization that I often see in my studies and thought that many of you could use this as well. When doing my LR section I always try to base my analysis on whether to skip or stay based on my confidence. If I know I get a question correct (Ex. SA question and going on hunt mode) I know that is a point in my bag. But sometimes I am confident in an answer choice and then see another answer that I am confident in. This is where I lose points. Often times we see an answer choice that is in fact correct but then we see that other AC and think, "Oh no..." and then what do we do? Some of us sink time or some of us skip but still think about that question. Today there were 3 questions where I had under-confidence and it cost me 3 points. Instead of going -3, I went -6 just because of this simple error.

Takeaway: Understand where your confidence is and use that to skip or stay. Create a process of being able to knock that one answer choice that you just cant let go of. Be confident in your answer choices and move on. That is what top scorer's do. They don't dwell on an AC for 1 min. They pick an answer and move on. If they have time to come back they will flag. This test is about confidence and whether you are overconfident or under-confident it can impact your score dramatically.

Stick to your processes for each question type and don't freak out if you don't know the answer. It is just one point. We don't need to be perfect to get a top score.

Hope that helps some of you and happy studies!

Hi! Does anyone have a sample LSAT schedule that includes working full time and/or working out? I just recently got a fulltime job at a law firm and I am adjusting to it. I am taking the January 2022 LSAT so I really need to make time to study as this is not my 1st time retaking it. Ugh. Anything helps!

I have scored 163-165 on my last 10 PTs. Sitting around -3 LR, -2 LG, -7 RC. However, this is inconsistent. The only pattern I can really see is the higher difficulty questions (level 4 and 5) trip me up. Any tips of nailing these down?

I took my test this past weekend and it was pretty damn difficult for me. The 2 RC sections threw me for a loop. Not only that but as soon as I began the exam and read the first 2 questions on the LR I completely brain fogged and began crying uncontrollably. Luckily I had a few accommodations and was able to pause. However, I know that I didn't score well at all.

I just want to say that I am so proud of everyone who took this exam and I have so much respect for every one of you. I studied hard and didn't have a good testing experience, but I am glad I did it and I am pushing forward to learn more and to retake in January. For all who felt they bombed the exam and retaking in January, let's keep our heads up and don't forget we have already come so far to feel that we shouldn't give it another shot, or 2 or 3, or however many more times it takes lol. :)

I just finished my fifth PT and am really happy with how I'm progressing, but still have a lot of room for improvement. I've been diligently using my analytics to identify which content sections I need to review/what types of questions to drill, but am wondering if it's better to do my studying in sections (ex. do 5 days of RC, three days of MBT/MBF questions, 2 days of RRE questions, etc.) before my next PT (I've been taking one every two weeks), or jump around (RC one day, MBT/MBF the next, RRE the third day, LG the fourth, then back to RC, for ex.).

Any ideas? I really want to study as efficiently as possible but am still not sure what works best for me.

Hey guys! I had a hard time with October because I was too tired to finish the test. How should I build enough stamina to do the whole test? Any tips?

Thanks!

I just finished my test and I am extremely upset and disappointed. The first half of the exam went well and I had no issues at all. However, after the 10 minute intermission I continuously got a message saying that the page was unresponsive (by continuously I mean several times within the minute). So basically, the whole second half of the test I lost a lot of my time and was distracted. I'm still hoping I somehow do good but the experience was horrible and if I had to test again I would wait to test in person. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hi all, I am registered for the April 2022 LSAT and started working through the core curriculum in mid October. I work 40-50 hours a week for a bank's legal department and I am only able to study for about 18-20 hours a week. According to 7Sage's study schedule I will not complete everything, including all of the prep tests, until next October if I am studying for 18 hours a week. My plan is to complete the core curriculum and then do 2-3 prep tests per week from there and get through however many I am able to complete between when I am done with the core curriculum and the real test, but I know I will not be able to complete all of them. Once I'm ready for prep tests, should I start from newer ones and work my way back towards older ones so that I'm working on tests that are (I'm assuming) more similar to the test I will take? Or oldest to newest? Or maybe start somewhere in the middle? Any advice is appreciated!

I have generalized anxiety disorder, and it acts up during full-timed tests. I am scoring very well when doing individual sections or smaller problem sets, but when I have to take a full length exam, my anxiety is triggered and I get easy questions wrong.... Anyone else experience something like this? Or have any resources they use to manage this when it happens? Thanks (3(/p)

Hope this post finds everyone well!

I have plateaued at the 158-160 range and am looking to jump to the mid-high 160s before the January test. I am averaging -7 on LR, -10 on LG, and -7 on RC. Any tips on what worked for you?

Thanks in advance!
