Hey guys,

I am so sorry to post this silly question but I would be super thankful if you give me a short answer to this.

I just really like to canvass ur opinion on this issue. Is it wrong to say that "the downside of human intelligence" or "the downside of having human intelligence" instead of the dark side of human intelligence? Does that sound awkward to u even when I am simply referring to the negative aspect of that endowment? By doing so, I am not talking about the moral perversion. For instance, by being equipped with human intelligence, one could be cunning and calculating, driven by his/her needs. This acumen could sometimes hinder us from developing any unconditional/trust-based relationship with others. Then, what was supposed to serve us positively does a disservice to our welfare against our will. Is it really improper for me to depict its negative effect without resorting to the evil genius in the realm of philosophy? What I want to say is that there could be some cumbersome issues arising from this faculty. Meanwhile, I would like to distinguish the inconveniences from the out-and-out moral failures like crime. I think there could exist some of the attributes that do not promote our well-being while they do not necessarily cross their paths with the humanity's seedy underbelly. what are ur thoughts on this? Forgive me for posing this moronic question.

I am very confused what study schedule I should be using for the August LSAT should I be using the V2 beta or the regular study schedule because they both say different things to do per week? I am just confused how I should structure my studying because the regular one has a lot less time per week than the beta but the beta includes prep tests.

What is the best way you all have found to study with 7sage? I usually watch a guided video then try and do a drill of the same sort. Wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving anything on the table. Any input would be awesome. Thanks everyone!

I'm a non-trad student (27, still in undergrad because I took several years off due to certain life circumstances) and I work Friday-Sunday in healthcare (pharmacy tech), and I do not truly have any days off. During law school, I plan to quit working, but I'm not able to yet. I just feel like I don't have any time to get much LSAT studying in between working, my classes, and sleeping. My highest PT score is 151, and although I know that isn't horrible, I want better so I can get scholarships and in top 50 school if possible. My CAS GPA is going to be poor because my freshman year, my dad died and I quit going to class for a while and failed 3 classes, but I have done really well since I went back, mostly As and a couple Bs. So, I have to get a good LSAT. Anyone have any tips how to squeeze in some LSAT studying while working and school?

Why I can't print my Drills? I don't see the option "Printable" anymore.

Update on 2024-03-21: we've ended this experiment and turned off the study session calendar. Thanks to everyone who came to a collaborative study session!**

Hey 7Sage,

I'm excited to announce free, on-demand, small-group study sessions! Every weekday, we're offering four sessions with ten slots each. The sessions are designed to be student-led—no 7Sage staff will be in the meeting—but we'll provide your group with a suggested activity.

Please note that the meetings will be recorded for the safety of all participants.

Sign up for a small-group study session now!

This is an experiment, and we’d love to hear your feedback.

Great news: we’ve updated the 7Sage digital tester to include the set of remixed PrepTests LSAC recently released (PTs 101–158). To access them, simply head to the digital tester as usual and click the “August 2024 or later” button at the top.

Wait, what?

Here’s the backstory if you missed it: On February 22, LSAC released 58 “new” (well, technically not new) PrepTests on LawHub, a set they’re calling the “August 2024 Admin Test Format.” They start at PT 101 and go to PT 158.

The change is in preparation for the post-August 2024 LSAT which will be offered without Logic Games. The newly released PrepTests consist of two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension section, and one experimental section. Technically, the material on the tests is not actually new; these are composed of shuffled and repackaged sections from previous tests (PT19-PT94), excluding Logic Games.

I’m so confused!

That’s fair! This is a lot to keep track of, even for those of us who only ever think about the LSAT. Here’s a post with a lot more details about the new/not new PTs.

Hey! I'm planning to take the LSAT in April and/or June so I can take the LSAT with logic games. I've been studying with 7Sage religiously and do daily drills with both the advanced and auto builder. However, today I went in and everything looks completely different and there is no option to drill logic games. Additionally, I can't see which drills/questions I've done (including LR and RC) as all the preptests are different now. Can 7Sage please fix this and provide a drilling option for those taking the April/June tests?

For the past four drill sets (main point section under "syllabus"), I have submitted my answers and completed blind review, only to find that the correct answers and explanations are not shown. Under the “Review Results” heading, it just says “Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries.” It did not do this for earlier drill sets.

This makes it impossible to meaningfully work through the syllabus. Please advise.

In the drilling mode section it says there are a certain amount of 'clean questions' remaining for each category. Does this refer to questions that only exist in PTs 1-35? I would like to do more drills but also don't want to spoil future practice tests.

Has anyone else gotten an email about signing up for a testing time for the April test yet? I saw sign ups are suppose to start today, but I haven't gotten any emails yet, and last time I'm pretty sure I got an email about it in advance

My home environment isn't a reliable place to take the test. I am considering taking at a testing center. Has anyone tried this? Do they provide the computer the test is administered on, or do I need to bring my own?

Hey 7Sagers,

Just FYI, if you're having a tough time pulling up your RC score and are wondering if you could be doing anything differently, I recently posted some RC tips over on the blog:

LSAT Reading Comprehension Tips

If you've had success with other approaches, please share! Post any tips of your own here or over in the blog's comments.

Happy reading and comprehending!

I've been studying and I noticed a very peculiar trend in my wrong answer choices as well as the reason I get these answers wrong. And the issue is I always wind up missing some important detail in the stimulus that will lead me to the correct answer choice. And it's always something small like a key word whether it's something that indicates strength (always, some of the time, never) or something like "adequately, imprecise, etc". It's always something small but this small thing usually changes the answer choice up a lot. And my wrong answer choice is almost always the second most selected answer meaning that I'm falling into the trap the LSAT writers have set out in some way.

Any advice/ practice strategies for resolving this issue? Or any more concise explanation? I see the pattern but I'm still having a bit of a hard time completely understanding and pinpointing the issue.

Hi All!

Not really sure where this goes, but I am wondering if there is any chance that the August 2024+ PTs will be loaded onto 7sage. I know that these sections are used from past LSATS, but I find it would be helpful when looking at analytics to be able to track that data.

Or even possibly have an option to create custom prep tests as I found out which sections correlate to which PT.

I was trying to make a problem set on here using questions I got wrong on various preptests in Lawhub, but when I went to add PT 62, S2, Q18 (which in Lawhub is a SA question re: planets/solar system) it pulled up a completely different question (MBF question re: computer programming). is there a reason and/or a solution? thank youuu

I plan on taking the lsat in June 2024 and was aiming to get high 150s/low 160s. I took my first PT in february before I started studying and got a 143. I took it again this month (march) after 45 hours of studying and got a 148. I am discouraged by my recent score. Can I realistically increase my score to a 160 in 2.5 months? I know that hours don't necessarily convert to points but how many hours would you estimate it would take? Any tips would be appreciated!

I've been studying for the LSAT for a while now but I haven't done a full practice test yet. I've completed LR and am about halfway through LGs... my thinking is that I want to complete all three sections so I know how to tackle all the questions. Do you think that is productive or do you think it'd be beneficial to do a practice test before completing the core curriculum?

Hello All,

Can anyone speak to whether you chose to use your testing accommodation or not when taking the LSAT? And do you feel it is a hindrance to use it when taking the test in a testing center vs compute test at home?

I’m asking because I took one test and I did not use my usual testing accommodations . And then I took the next one at a test site and used my accommodations. To my dismay I did 11 points worse than I did when I tested without my accommodations. Also the test site was very noisy and disorganized which I reported to LSAC. I’m just trying to figure out if I should no longer use my accommodations. It felt like it was a situation that culminated into me doing worse and I felt I was treated differently - myself and another test taker who also had accommodation. We had to wait an hour to start our test and that caused a lot of anxiety at least for me. Thank you.

Hi, I just renewed my lawhub subscription from the same account and still unable to link to 7 sage. The link button is not even show up on my 7 sage account. I have the same LSAC account. Please help

I'm having trouble loading the recording of live classes and explanation videos. I've tried two different browsers. Is this a known issue? Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm from a non-English speaking country and my first diagnostic test was 142. The major problem is that I cannot finish the test with such a short period of time. I've already received an LLB from my home country and it's totally possible for me to do lsat well in my first language. So English vocabulary seems like the biggest barrier for me. I'm kindly inquiring are there any ways to increase my vocabulary in 6 months and is it possible for me to get a 160+ last eventually?

stimulus :

"There can be a known known only if theres a known unknown, but there can never be an unknown unknown without a known unknown. Thus, every unknown unknown which is known is actually a known unknown which is unknown."

question : the conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

the content of this question is inspired by the "Rumsfeld Matrix." What would be a sufficient assumption for this question? Is this a hard question or did you find it on the easier end of SA questions?
