Can someone help me with the word "only." It is a word that is giving me so many headaches when trying to do conditionals. I seem to be having trouble when only is mixed with "will"
I am doing the skill builders on this lesson - https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/skill-builder-kick-it-up-to-the-domain/
I am having trouble with question #12:
High school teachers who teach AP courses will only tutor students they believe to be in danger of failing and they believe that only students who missed Monday’s class are in danger of failing.
From previous classes, we have learned that "only" is a necessary conditional indicator. But when it comes to statements above, I seem to get confused. In cases like these, does only modify the "second action"
I will only go to class on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Tim will only write the exam when he is ready
I will only make eggs if they are fresh
Would this be the same as:
I will go to class only on Mondays and Wednesdays
Tim will write the exam only when he is ready
I will make eggs only if they are fresh
i have some happy news! i went from a 148 diagnostic to a 159 in less than 20 days after only completing the foundations lessons! thank you 7sage for emphasizing building up this knowledge over time--it's really helped me!! (3(/p)
Do you guys suggest taking PT while progressively working through the syllabus or after I have covered all the course concepts and lessons?
I am so stress with this upcoming test. First, because it will be the last with LG, so I am expecting the worst, to have the most difficult games ever. Second, I am getting loose in LR cause my focus is LG that I am getting incorrect responses, and when I do the blind review i get them correct, and then I think why I cannot think when I am under time pressure. Can someone give me an advise ??? I know my Core curriculum fundamentals are there.
I'm just generally curious what people's daily schedules look like when they're trying to study on a daily basis. Moreover, I'm interested in ways people try to squeeze the most they can out of each day.
Hello everyone,
I am considering changing my test from June to August. I have been scoring in the low 160's and would like to score in 165-170. My highest PT was a 165. I have taken about 15 practice tests. Logic Games is my best section but not by that much, usually 4-6 questions are missed on average.
Given other posts and listening to some podcasts, it seems that the obvious choice is to push to August. In other words, if not achieving a goal score in PTs, push it to a later date.
I am hesitant about changing from June to August because I'd really like to just give the LSAT a go and see how it turns out. I know it seems naive, but I've been studying for 3-4 months and feel like I finally have the momentum to try it. Additionally, I don't know if I'll be able to mantain the same schedule that has allowed me to improve thus far.
I think I would be comfortable taking it again in August. Please let me know what you guys think and happy to answer any follow-up questions in the comments. Thank you in advance for your suggestions and guidance, it does mean a lot.
Hi everyone! Is there a way I can adjust the "unlimited time" on drills in the a specific LR section? Or can I use a prep test to drill the section with the time limit? The only problem with that is I cannot click on the section I want to do.
I just started 7sage 2 weeks ago and Im already done 100% of the foundations and just strating LR but i just noticed that V2 has been changed to not include the LG which i wont need since im taking the Sept LSAT. Im wondering if i should start over on V2 or just skip to LR on V2. Is there a huge difference in the foundations. im also confused as to why i cant switch and keep my progress. is it worth it for me to switch
Hi All! Fairly silly question but I was wondering what exactly the test format looks like for the official LSAT. When doing practice questions you can chose between 7sage format or standard format - is the standard one comparable to the actual format on the test? I read somewhere that when you're taking the LSAT for RC that there's a function that allows you to search words in the passage is this true? Additionally if anyone with insights could tell me about the paper and pencil format of the test that would be super helpful too. Thanks!
I had months of data in the old format and now it's all inaccessible when I'm drilling in the new format. #help can someone on the team please help me transfer my data (questions taken at the very least) from the old format to the new format? The auto builder is useless without my LR data and I don't want to keep repeating questions in my drills
Seems to be that I am getting the most points off because of my lack of good timing. Does anyone have recommendations on how I can improve this? I want to take the LSAT in June before LG is gone, being that LG is my best section.
Hi,
I am a new user of 7Sage and was wondering why most of the lessons for logic in the foundations unit are missing videos. Is this a new section that has not had videos made for it yet? Thanks!
With LG being removed, I can't help but feel like LR in the Aug 24 test is going to be a bit more difficult. What are your thoughts? As someone that struggles with LR a little bit, I was debating whether to take the August or September LSAT in hopes of applying to Law schools by the end of October. Interested to hear your thoughts!
Is the June LSAT going to be 3 sections or 4 sections? I keep getting different answers and just wanted to make sure.
I don't know how else to describe it. I'm extremely worried that i'm going to finish all of these powerscore bibles and all of these early preptests like PT40-50 and then suddenly the sections are going to get way harder when I get into PT70-90. I already know that the RC gets harder on the more recent PT's which freaks me out. It makes me think all of this work I've done in the core curriculum etc is going to keep a good score out of my reach
I was a community college to state school grad that pieced together a bachelors degree from random credits and studied for the LSAT while working and supporting a family. I started with a 154 and took the LSAT seven times. My application was a C&F nightmare and reading the first personal statement I applied with makes me cringe so hard I get a headache.
This community, including @"J.Y. Ping", @"David Busis", @"Cant Get Right", @Mike_Ross and way too many other people to mention, helped me unfuck my approach to this test and admissions. @"Nora Miller" basically got me into law school and set me on a path to become the somewhat serviceable writer I am today. Three years later, I've won multiple national bar association essay competitions, published with HLS, and worked as a law review editor. I've taught written advocacy for our LLM program and at our local prisons, and worked death penalty cases that I'll (hopefully) be taking with me as part of my pro bono practice. I've CALI'ed four classes and "passed" the UBE with an approximate 98th percentile score. Doing a second non-UBE bar exam before heading off to a big law litigation job.
Hopefully that doesn't sound too pretentious. The points I'm trying to make are (1) that if I can do it, anyone can do it... including you, and (2) I wouldn't have achieved any of that without 7sage and the great people here—the people I learned from, the people who allowed me to tutor them (a great way to improve your own understanding of the test), and the people who were willing to candidly tell me all the ways my application sucked or how dumb my essay about surfing in Boston was.
Do hit me with any questions, but like most people who pass through 7sage, my time here is probably done after this. Besides, I think I have to retire the username now that I haz JD. Make use of this great community, help each other out, and don't give up.
It's been real. Thanks 7sage.
I recently rescheduled my June 2024 LSAT to the August 2024 LSAT. While registering for the June exam, I purchased Score Preview and wondered what happens to it if you reschedule an exam. Do I have to repurchase Score Preview, or will it transfer to my new date? Thanks!
As we all know LGs are gone in August. My plan is to take one test prior to August and then the August exam as well (once with LGs, once without).
So my question is: is there a way to simulate a test without LGs so we can see our relative score with and without the section. I expect that my overall score will go up without the LG section but I wasn't sure if it was possible to see since the test has not been administered this way yet. Thanks in advance for the help!
Edit: I did more research and found the answer to my own question! I figured I would post it here in case anybody is wondering the same.
Answer: We've also updated our digital tester so that you can take PrepTests with two LR sections and no Logic Games section. To take a PrepTest in the new format, simply navigate to Practice->PrepTests in the main menu and click on a PrepTest. Once you're on the page for the PrepTest, click the drop-down menu to the right of the name of the PrepTest number and select “August 2024 3-section LSAT (LR, LR, RC).”

I'd like to see the notes and mark ups I made during a PT during BR. Particularly, I'd like to see the removed answer choices. Is there any way to enable this?
Hi Everyone,
Two weeks ago, I completed a diagnostic practice test. I went in blind, with little to none knowledge about the LSAT. Yet, I gave myself and extra 30 minutes for each section. Instead of 35 minutes, I had an hour and five minutes for each section. I scored a 148 and skipped the BR at the time, not knowing how important it was.
Minor digression here: (I spent my first two weeks of studying on the foundational section, and did about 3-4 drills. I realize now, that I probably wasn't getting enough practice in, and now aim to do more drills and timed and untimed sections as part of my weekly routine. I studied for about 30-35 hours over the course of the last two weeks. Right now, I'm at the grammar section of the foundations, about halfway through.) Okay, back to the test....
Just yesterday, I did another practice test. This time I gave myself the normal 35 minute window. I scored again a 148 and scored a 149 on the BR section. I didn't give myself enough time with the BR section, and learned my lesson.
I wanted to ask, is this a reasonable indication of progress in the last two weeks? I presume that by giving myself an extra 30 minutes to complete the first diagnostic test, that must of inflated my original number. What can I do next time to move forward, and have better and clearer indicators of progress?
This week I aim to continue the grammar section and logic section of the curriculum, on top of drilling, and doing one or two time and untimed sections. I also aim to review the recent exam over the course of the week, going over questions that I got wrong. Once I'm caught up reviewing the exam, I aim to take another test.
Why are my notes in the My Notes tab arranged alphabetically instead of in order of lesson? How do I fix this??
I was PTing for August before the new formats came out and now all of my old data is locked away in the old format section, including the questions I've already taken. Really unfortunate that I can't see which PT's ive already unsealed when looking at the new formats, need to constantly be switching back and forth. Can you guys please work out a fix to merge progress between new and old formats, specifically which questions we've already done? Annoying I'm paying for 7sage and wasting time on spreadsheets when you guys have all the data #help
how do I increase my speed for each section? I get almost every single question right on the questions that I am able to get on the PT and also on the blind review but I do them sooooo slow. I've take 4 practice tests thus far
