Hey 7Sagers,

J.Y. and 7Sage's content creation team have recently developed a new way of engaging with reading comprehension passages and questions. You may already have noticed that many RC passages now feature new tags like 'Spot' for Spotlight-style passages and 'Prob' for Problem-Analysis-style passages.

To help you learn more about the passage styles and how you can improve your approach to RC by applying relevant strategies to passages of different styles, lead content creator Kevin Lin has taught a two-part live class to introduce you to the new method!

The recording of Part 1 is available here.

The recording of Part 2 is available here.

Hello,

I began studying for the LSAT about 5 weeks ago. I took a practice test back in October on a different site and scored a 151 with logic games.

I just finished the 7Sage curriculum so I took a timed PrepTest yesterday and got a 161. My goal score is 170 or more, and I just feel really discouraged with scoring a 161 after studying all the curriculum. Is it reasonable to expect a 170 by the August LSAT dates, or should I reconsider my goal score and or test date.

I am just not sure how much improvement to expect just by drills and PrepTests. Thank you!

hi! for those who have had accommodation approved - I just received a letter stating I am approved for my accommodations, do I have to do anything else? are they automatically applied to my current registrations? thank you in advance!

I'm not sure what to do, I am planning on taking the September LSAT but I'm not sure ill be able to gauge how ready I am by the registration date. I would do the October LSAT but then I wont be able to see my score before the November registration deadline if I need to take it again. Maybe im not understanding how it works etc. but im just not sure if I should take it in october and then register for november wihtout knowing my score in case i didnt get the score i wanted or register for september but I wont know for certain how ready I am by the time we have to register

Heads up, everyone! Starting July 1, LawHub Advantage will be increasing the cost of their annual subscription by $5. It's going from $115/year to $120/year.

If you're planning to re-up your LawHub Advantage subscription and want to save the $5, make sure to renew before July 1 at https://www.lsac.org/lawhub. Remember, you can get LawHub Advantage for free (and 7Sage for $1!) if you qualify for an LSAC fee waiver.

I'm taking the August exam, which includes practicing with sections of LR, Unscored LR, and RC. However, I consistently perform better on the scored LR sections than the unscored ones. As a result, my overall practice scores are lower. I feel like the way they write questions for the unscored sections isn't helpful for preparing or estimating how well we'll do on the actual exam in August. Anyone else feeling like this?

If you qualify for accommodations you can request to have the experimental section removed. I had some great, beneficial accommodations, but wasn't aware this is even a thing. Wish someone would've told me, so grabbing some karma points hopefully and passing this along. Also, @7sage, you should add 'accommodations' as a discussion topic.

Hey everyone! I am new to 7Sage and I just got the subscription after reading the Powerscore bibles. I am wondering how those of you who have subscribed to live handle studying and attending the classes. I am struggling with balancing which sessions to attend and finding the time to practice drills on my own. Do you attend most of the sessions or do you pick and chose? For me, there is a huge fear of FOMO and the live classes do help with motivation and getting going but I am on PDT time and some of the classes are crazy early at 6am. What do you all do? Also is it worth doing the 4 star and 5 star question sessions or just building up the skills in 1-3 first before even attending those days?

Hello everyone,

I recently learned that if you qualify for accommodations, it might be possible to request the removal of the experimental section from an exam.

Does anyone know how to make this request? Who should you contact, and do you need to specify the removal of the experimental section directly?

Thanks a lot!

I have a question regarding the drilling method that I should be using (Specifically for LR Q's).

-Should I be using the "Drilling" sections in the CC found after each LR question type in order to practice to improve on each of those question types?

-Would doing so too often cause me to lose valuable resources that I would gain from taking the full prep tests?

I want to improve on the question types that I am struggling with, especially the harder questions in those subsections, but don't want to use up all of the material from the prep tests.

If you have any advice on how to drill properly and efficiently your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! How would I go about printing drill sets/ prep tests? Thanks!

Do the new PrepTests allow you to do blind review? Also, are these all brand new unused questions or where did they come from? I used 7Sage for well over a year to study prior to the new LSAT format but I took a break for a few months, now I am confused about what test questions I should be using for drills and which I should be using for full practice tests.

Hi there,

I've been logged out of my account, and every time I try to log back in or reset my password, I experience problems. SOS #help I can't study!!!

hi! as the title indicates, i've done 3 PTs and went from a 166 to a 173, and then back down to a 167. i know studying more doesn't guarantee higher scores, but i was disappointed because i felt like i was on the up-and-up, lmao!

from your experience studying, what is this kind of fluctuation indicative of? and do you have any tips for scoring consistently at your target? i really appreciate any insight, i'm getting a bit in my head about this so i imagine being grounded by the community would be helpful!

Hello!

I recently took PT138 from the August 2024 and later tab and noticed an LR section completely overlapped with one I had taken with a logic game (PT60). Assuming the new tests are randomly distributing an experimental RC or LR section to keep the test at 4 sections, is there is any way we can block or substitute the extra section if we already took it?

(i.e. PT138 pulls three sections from the Dec 2012 exam and 1 from June 2010 (which in this case I already took); can we substitute that June one with a section from a different exam or just block it entirely?)

I started a masters degree program prior and finished about 60% of the degree, including a graduate certificate, with a 4.0 grade average. However, I quit and didn't finish the program about two years ago. I'm wondering if law schools will look at this negatively in the application process since they will get my transcript and see that I didn't finish this degree? Schools generally seem to allow supplemental essays to explain things like this, should I be including that in my application? There were many reasons I quit, mainly that I decided that career path wasn't for me after all (it was a masters in economics program, and I decided I didn't want to be in a math and computer coding heavy career).

Looking for people studying for the August Lsat based in philly! To study virtually and in person!

I need a study buddy to hold me accountable for studying for the LSAT. I am one month into my studying journey with 7sage.

Should I be doing PTs throughout doing the curriculum or just be doing drills and wait until I have finished all the curriculum and learned the question types before starting to PT. I don't want to be wasting time or resources doing PTs if it doesnt make sense to do them until ive finished the curriculum, or should I still be doing them regardless

this is silly but i can literally hear J.Y's little "um...okayyyyy?" in my head whenever i'm eliminating LR answers it's actually really helpful

Hello,

I currently have a problem where my computer lags when I do the drill sets, and it often freezes for a minute or so. I think it's because there are so many comments that it has trouble processing it. I already tried clearing the cache and cookies, and it didn't work. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to minimize the comments or collapse it momentarily so I can finish the drill sets. Thanks

Have the lessons related to logic games been taken out of the program? It seems as if the sections on logic of intersecting sets, conditional and set logic, & others are logic games?

Have you ever found yourself grappling with a complex idea, struggling to understand its intricacies? Whether you're a student tackling a difficult subject or a professional trying to grasp a new concept, simplifying complex ideas can be a game-changer. Fortunately, there's a systematic approach you can follow to break down even the most intricate concepts into manageable chunks. In this article, we'll explore a four-step guide to simplifying complex concepts effectively.

Step 1: Grasp the Core Idea

Every complex concept has a core idea at its heart. Your first task is to identify and understand this central concept. Start by breaking down the concept into its simplest form. What is it trying to explain or convey? What problem does it solve? Once you grasp the core idea, you'll have a solid foundation to build upon.
