I seem to have some trouble grasping lawgic diagramming. does anyone have tips? Once things get a little bit more complicated I seem to have trouble pulling some of the correct parts.

Hello.

I am taking the test in September.

I have accommodations and I requested the experimental section to be removed. I was wondering if I need to take the my practice test with or without the experimental section.

Thank you!

Is there a timeline on when printables of the new format prep tests will be available?

No test center in ALL of South Bay ALL YEAR is forcing me to look for a new test center. CSU East Bay Hayward is an Oct center.

Which building/room is the test held and who proctors it there?

I once took a kaplan test at CSU with tiny desks so it concerns me.

This is an emotionally-charged topic that has sometimes led to threads being closed by @"Dillon A. Wright" but there's a great article in the New Yorker about the topic. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/09/the-limits-of-diversity Highly recommended for anyone interested. I think it could actually be made into a really good RC passage.

Does anyone know where the section or something went or what it is under where JY provides a link to articles that can help us get use to reading complex topics?

When you have taken the LSAT and submitted transcripts do law schools get an early view of your profile? Why do visiting law schools at my campus ask for my LSAC number? Is there any way law schools view you and are interested or is it only after you submit an application? Do law schools actively hunt for potential students or they just wait until the application period opens and see who submits?

How many preptests do you need for the analytics page to be accurate?

so evidently a score in the 71st percentile on the LSAT earns you a score in the 89th percentile on the GMAT (business school admission test). I am an inactive member and am retaking the LSAT down the road. I scored a 157 on the October LSAT (12/16 PTs in low 160s with BR in low 170s) then decided to get a MSF degree and postpone law school. The verbal section of the GMAT is a simplified version of the LSAT with LG replaced by sentence correction. Even though I am not pursuing law school right now I have already reaped benefits. Did you know that you get 2 minutes per question on the GMAT? TWO FREAKING MINUTES!? Imagine what you could do with that time on the LSAT!

Anyways...thank you to 7sage, Pacifico and Nicole Hopkins. It's rather enjoyable to read forum posts here, be reminded of all the fatigue I felt on a daily basis and see how it has positively influenced my life (even if it's outside of law right now).

Hey All,

I'm in the PT and drill phase of my LSAT journey and find myself needing guidance on personal specifics. Would any seasoned LSAT warriors themselves (or those who know of such fabled warriors) PM me and help out?

Any and all help is appreciated and I will do what I can in return.

I have been studying for a while. My highest on a practice test is 163 and I've gotten 160 a couple of times. However, my blind review highest scores have been 169 and 171. The reading comp is the defining factor at times. Should I wait to take the lsat in Jan or do I just take it next month. Im signed up for both. additionally, what are some strategies you use during reading comprehension. I want to continue scoring higher but sometimes I get 18/19 and at other times 13/14. The next lsat is closely approaching.

Hello, am I the only one that feels a lot of the explanation videos for the answers are very vague and don't explain why the answers are right most of the time?

Admin note: I edited the title for clarity

Hey I am very interested in joining and just want an idea on how to even approach this course. Currently I am thinking about going through all the curriculum(I have 8 hours a day to spend on this), taking a diagnostic test, seeing where I am at, going to sign up for either a class or coach version, take drills and get a custom study plan. Is this a good plan, what plan do you suggest? I also want to know how do i know when to take my prep tests, do you guys offer any type of timing or anything so i can know whether or not I am taking an exam to early or too late. Also what is the difference between the coach plan and a private tutor. I mainly just want to have a structured plan (without me having to guess when I have to take a exam etc) while also getting real feedback?

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

I am taking the new LSAT with just LR and RC. Which basleine exam should I take? 7Sage did not direct me to one when I started the curriculum.

Hi! I literally just began studying and am thinking of buying the power score LSAT bibles to supplement my studying. I’m planning on taking the test after August, so should I only get the RC and LR bibles and not the LG bible? Is there any chance that logic games will be included in some capacity even if the official section is gone (and therefore it would make sense to get familiar with the material)?

I have spent the last two and a half months going through the core curriculum and now that I have finished it, I feel like I have built a solid foundation of the test. I have a couple questions about the test, mainly the LG, and progressing with my studies.

About LG:

I have done some games prior to doing 7sage’s LG course, but they were all in PT40s-60s. I saw a couple misc games in those PTs and didn’t think they were too bad. However, I felt that some of the games I saw in PT1-35 were the most difficult games I’ve ever seen. Mainly because the misc games were so hard to diagram and it was frustrating to visualize it. I was under the assumption (because of what my friends told me) that the old LGs were easier than the new games, but the more I look into it people say the old LGs are more difficult and the new LSATs does not have some of those weird diagram games anymore from the 1990s-early 2000s. What’s the consensus on the older and newer LG games in terms of difficulty and diagramming?

Also, I plan on foolproofing using Pacifico’s method(link for reference: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737) for PT1-35 so I can get a better feel for doing games. If anyone is familiar/did it with it, how many games did you do per week? Should I for example, start 5 on Monday, re-take on Tuesday, start a new 5 on Wednesday like one of the last comments on that thread said.

Tips on moving forward:

So, now I’m kind of stuck on what to do for the other sections right now as I foolproof LG. I committed myself for 1.5 months on the LR curriculum and when I finished it, I didn’t look at it until I finished the LG and RC section. But I think that break was beneficial for me anyway, so how should I progress into doing full sections from untimed to timed. I also picked up the loophole because I heard it’s great to supplement with the LR curriculum. I was wondering for anyone who did the same, how did you incorporate reading the Loophole to what you had already learned from 7sage? Mainly what I am asking is how should I set up my weekly schedule now for drilling? My targeted test date is June, so I have about 2.5 months and I have no obligations for anything else.

I just finished the core curriculum and took my first practice test. 163 but aiming for 170+. Struggled with LR (-9). Now I plan to go through the rest of the practice tests (37-present).

I'm curious what sort of gains other people have made since their first post-cc practice test.

Thank you very much in advance!

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!

I am looking for an accountability partner from now until the April LSAT. I want someone who is planning to apply early for Fall 2022, has been studying for the test for a while, is aiming for a T10 law school, wants a 170+, and wants to get this thing over with by the middle of this year. I prefer someone who is weaker on LG (no specific limit here) but stronger on LR and RC (-2 to 4 range) so we can complement each other. I am breaking even on all sections but while I can mostly figure out my errors for LG by myself, I often can't do so with LR and RC. My highest PT was a 168 and I am looking to break into the 170s. If you are interested, please PM me, not comment. We can meet once a week through zoom or maybe even more depending on how things go and I honestly just want another human by my side through all this because this test material is very dry to say the least

I've taken a couple of prep tests and haven't really seen any improvement. Should I be drilling more? Go back to lessons? How do you guys make the most out of what 7sage offers and how can I see more improvement? Taking the LSAT in September 2024.

Hey friends,

I’m signed up to take the June lsat and I’m pretty nervous. I’ve have hit my goal score a few times but I am not constantly hitting it yet so I’ve been working hard to improve my timing because that’s where my lower scores tend to come from. Either I get stuck on a logic game or a RC paragraph and will end up with a bad score in one of those sections. I am slowly improving in those areas but here is the kicker…. next week I will be gone for five days on a business trip. On this trip I will be very busy and won’t be able to dedicate the same amount of time that I have been to studying which is fine but I would like to use the limited time I have on this trip to study the most effectively. So, I’m looking for advice on helpful ways to keep my mind sharp and maintain or improve my current understanding. (To be clear, not going on this trip is not an option and I knew that well in advance and have planned accordingly). My plan currently is to print out a bunch of drills and prep test and keep them in my purse so that I can pull them out and work on them any time I have a 15, 20, or 30 minute break. Depending on each days schedule I am aiming to either wake up early and study for 1-2 hours or stay up late and study for 1-2 hours at least a couple of times. Any advice/strategies would be greatly appreciated! Good luck to those of you who are also signed up for the June lsat, may the odds be ever in our favor!

*Also if anyone has any tips for being quick and consistent in RC or LG I’d love to hear it. I’m way better at logic games which is why I’m taking the June test but every once in a while I run into a miscellaneous game that absolutely blows my brain lol.

Hey LSAT prepsters.... I just signed up for that study buddy thing here on 7Sage. If any of you are interested, please respond back or check out that new study buddy sign up and we'll get connected ASAP. I live in San Jose and plan on taking the October LSAT. Let's push each other to greatness and support each other when we are feeling doubtful. I'd love to meet once a week and we can also do phone/internet chats as well. It's all about helping each other stay on track with studying and to break apart question types to see the tentmaker's themes and tricks. We can definitely crack the code and get into top schools.

I haven't seen anyone mention Honest Meditation here, so my apologies if this has already been recommended. As someone with too much anxiety mixed with ADHD, I never found the usual meditation videos and apps that helpful. I get bored way too easily and I have trouble being alone with my thoughts. As a result, I either spiral into a bottomless abyss of anxiety or fall asleep from lack of interest.

Enter, Honest Meditation.

I don't know what it is about cursing, but it's such a freeing feeling to have someone calmly acknowledge all the bullshit swimming in my head as soothing music plays softly in the background. I think the swearing keeps my brain engaged. Check it out y'all:

I started studying for the August 2024 LSAT in January; combo of PTs once a week and essentially the core curriculum (from a local prep company). I was testing pretty consistently around the 160 mark until I started drilling for 4-5 hrs/day on 7sage and BRing, after which I jumped to a 165/166 (first got a 166 at the end of May). Since then, I was testing pretty consistently at that mark for five weeks until randomly two weeks ago I got a 160 (PT84) and last week I got a 159 (PT85) (most of the drop was on LR sections). A lot of things I read online suggested taking a break due to burout (which I've definitely felt), so I took this last week off.

As I jump back into studying this week, I'm just really worried I'm doing something wrong w my test coming up soon. A lot of what I read online last week regarding score drops were for people who had just started the CC and/or had only taken a few practice tests. I've taken 18 full length tests over the last 7 months and drilled hundreds if not thousands of questions outside of tests, so I feel like my situation's a little different. Any suggestions on how to get back to that 165/166 mark / things I should be doing differently? Again, I BR, WAJ, drill, etc.

Thanks in advance!!
