I am wondering if it is a good idea to mix up the order of practice tests I take. It seems like the ones at the beginning of the list are all from early years. I am thinking I should take tests that are more recent in order to have them be more similar to the modern day ones.

Hey, y'all! I'm taking the LSAT for the first time this Saturday. Would someone mind explaining the generic structure? I know it's LR, LG, RC and an unscored section, but is there a certain number of passages/games they'll give you for each? Thanks!

I was wondering if there were any tips for how I should be tackling questions and timing in my current progress. I am working through the core curriculum right now and I am noticing that I am quite slow when it comes to answering questions during drills. Should I focus more on process of elimination (takes me longer) or should I focus more on "hunting" for the answer? I do notice that sometimes I am confident with the answer choice I have chosen, but at this stage I am always second guessing myself and it really slows me down.

Hello!

I understand that when doing LG, to help chain up the rules, sometimes you need to contrapose conjunctions and disjunctions ("and" turns into "or," and "or" turns into "and"). However, I'm struggling to remember how the flipping and negating goes. Does anyone have any tips on this?

E.g.

Original: G and S --> /I

Contrapositive: I --> /G or /S

Am I doing this correctly?

OR is it:

/G or /S --> I

(Do we flip conjunctions/disjunctions when contraposing, or just negate?)

First timer, taking LSAT this Friday. I was trying to scheduling LSAT writing, and when I clicked the "Launch LSAT Writing" link from the LSAC website, it redirected me to the Lawhub page. I called both ProctorU and LSAC and neither is helpful. Did anyone run into a similar situation and solve it? Thank you.

Hi, how often are you guys taking PTs? I am still going through the core curriculum syllabus and have started my studying the end of June this year 2023, and try my best to study throughout the work week. Wondering some thoughts on whether I should be incorporating some PTs weekly even though I am not finished with the core? Any and all thoughts please!

Hi,

I tried creating a LR drill based on 25 questions and these categories: Agree, Weak, NA, Para, AP, Inf, RRE, Streng, Disagr, Flaw, PSAr using PT B - 75 on Hard Difficulty, yet I get the error message "Sorry, we were not able to create a drill based on your criteria. Please try again."

I'm on Windows 11 and Google Chrome. Could anyone help me out? Thanks.

Hi all,

Lately, as I have begun dumping more time into LG (and I mean a considerable amount of time, roughly 4-6 hours a day), they have begun to cloud my dreams. I've woken up at least once every night for the last week because the LG I make up in my dream gets too confusing. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience and what you/they did to mitigate it.

Thanks!

When reviewing sections that have more than one video per page (such as here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-33-section-4-game-1/), if you press space it will pause the video on top and then play the video on the bottom at the same time... This is one of the most annoying things I have ever come across and drives me absolutely insane.

Is there a way to press space and have it simply pause/unpause the video YOU ARE WATCHING, rather than BOTH videos (even when you never interacted with the second video)?

Struggling to keep the language PG b/c this is pissing me off so bad.

Hi! Does anyone know what the priority rankings mean when looking at your analytics? Because there are some question types that I have a high % of accuracy but then it gives a number - or + regarding priority. So if i have a higher % of accuracy shouldn't that question type have a lower priority ranking (meaning a positive number)?

Thankyou!

I have an active LSAC Plus subscription. I have been using it for weeks and it expires in 2024. I just purchased 7SAGE and it says I need to buy the LSAC subscription to link my account. It will not let me access any of the material. I have tried logging in and out, my email is the same for both platforms... I don't know what to do. Has this happened to anyone?

To increase and better my time on questions for studying and for this test, many have recommended reading. Is there anything specific, and types of reading that will specifically aid me in increasing my time to meet the target time?

I recently took the LSAT writing section through the online proctored service. During the walk-through phase before the writing section is administered, the description states that any disallowed services on the computer will not be able to function once the LSAT writing section begins.

Surprisingly, while I was taking the writing section, Grammarly populated.

Has this occurred to anyone else?

Will the use of Grammarly disqualify my writing section?

I want to work in medical law (specifically with medical device patents pertaining to mental health), so I am looking at applying to JD/MD programs. I was thinking about Psychiatry for residency (4 years). If I pass the bar during the school year (I believe it’s also held in February for NY bar) before residency starts, would it be possible to start working as a lawyer during my time in residency? Has anybody done this? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm planning to take the September LSAT with a target score of 168-170. (Ideally 170 but I'm not sure if that's realistic at this point.)

My first diagnostic test, without doing any core curriculum, was 164 (I majored in Computer Science, so I was pretty familiar with logics to begin with). This was in early June, about two months ago.

Now I have taken about 6 more PTs since I finished my core curriculum about a month ago. One of them was 170, but the others were consistently 166-167.

I know it has improved a bit, but the improvements came from LG, going from average -4 to -1. The lack of improvements in RC I understand a little more, since RC is generally the hardest to improve, but my score in LR has either stayed the same, or even got worse (ranging from -4 to -7).

This is worrying me quite a bit because I have been focusing mainly on LR; I worked a lot on dividing the section into the first 15 and last 10, timing strategy, and going back to CCs. Before, I had barely any time to do the last three questions or go over other questions at the end. Now I fly thorugh the first 15 ( except for maybe 1 or 2 harder questions) and I have a plenty of time to do the harder questions. There are even times that I have like 6-7 minutes left at the end of an LR section to look over certain questions one more time. I finish the sections way more confident than ever, but the results are so inconsistent. I usually get 1 easier question wrong, and the rest are from the last 10, ranging from 3 to 6 wrong answers. But even though I have improved in skills (better reasoning skills, hunting for the answer, skipping, timing, etc.), my score stayed the same or even got worse.

I have a month left now, and I want to get at least 168 on this... Do you think this lack of improvement in score is from just not having taken enough PTs yet, or do you think maybe because I was familiar with logic in the beginning, I did not have a lot of room to improve in the first place?

I have put in a lot of work for two months, but it's so discouraging not seeing my score imporve...

It is recommended over and over again that w logic games it is key to print out the games and do them over and over again. I cant print the PDF versions of the games. Help! I know it is not an issue w my printer/computer bc I printed a different doc no problem

I have been studying the LSAT for two weeks now and so far I have done one week LG, another week of LR and this week I'm doing RC. I feel like this is a good study schedule but a part of me is telling me to mix it up a little so I'm really not sure. I plan on taking it in January and I am using LSAT trainer, Khan and now 7Sage
