Wondering if anyone else has this issue of answering then doing blind review and your first answer is right but you then doubt it and overthink and choose a wrong one. How much does intuition play into this test
Can someone shares the Flaw List that Nicole Agranonik shares in her class?
A lot of the example interview questions I've seen online seem to overlap with some of the content covered in essays (why law? why now? etc). Are there any tips to bring up new information/not sound too redundant?
Hi folks,
Im new to this whole lsat business. In fact, I've been putting off starting studying because...we'll, frankly, I'm not entirely sure what to do? I took a diagnostic and got a 163 but im not sure where to go from there. Do I just start drilling? I understand the basic logic behind the questions just fine, I think. Its just a good number tripped me up, so I dont think I need introduction to the base concepts.
How will 7Sage be affected by LSAC maintenance scheduled from 7/11 - 7/13 and 7/24 - 7/28? Will we still able to practice test / drill? If not, what can we do to ensure we have study material during these outages in service?
I’d like to take the exam in my living room, but the way to my kitchen is open as is the hallway to my front door. If I taped a curtain over both of these openings, thereby making my living room an enclosed box, would this satisfy the test room requirements? If anyone knows or just has suggestions I’d really appreciate it!
So I posted here before about the same problem, and I have basically found that in attempting to load the RC sections of a Preptest, I essentially get stuck loading it forever.
I have tried everything - trying different browsers, clearing cache, I even went so far as reinstalling my OS to see if that would fix it - and nothing worked.
A few folks from the 7Sage team have messaged me to support. I wanted to post this to get the attention of any other mods who could submit a technical ticket for me so that someone could maybe review any issues with my account.
Hi All,
Sometimes when I am working through the 'You try' sections of the lesson and I get a question correct, I don't feel the need to watch the video. I'm curious what other people do- do you tend to do the same as me or watch the video no matter what?
If my plan is to "study" for 12ish hours a week, how is that broken down? Do I do 12 hrs of lessons? Or do I finish a section and then practice questions, live classes, or podcasts for that section? If I do the latter, how much time do I spend on each section, and how do I know when to move on?
Forgot to put this in the feedback forms, but can we, pretty please, keep office hour classes? I personally find it extremely useful to look at the always excellent questions others bring in, and moreover, we get to look some of more recent questions that understandably are left alone in other classes, which in my humble opinion, makes the fact it's a smaller class the perfect setting. Office hours: small but mighty, please reconsider removing them. Much appreciation (for everything)!
Hey all,
I'll dive right into it - I am struggling with something called an inadvertent memory recall (made the name up) when re-doing practice tests. I don't know if this is a real "science" thing or if someone in the community mentioned this already (searched after doing some light research) but its something I'm struggling with. I have my own solutions posted below and extremely curious to hear what you're thoughts are to avoid this habit.
Here's an example, about 2-3 months ago I wrote PT 73 and recently re-took it. I noticed that I was inadvertently 'lax' when doing both LR sections, which at the time felt strange. While I was in 'lax mode' (which I try to avoid at all times) in the LR sections, however, I caught myself recalling bits of information I remembered up when I first took the exam! This is clearly a big no-no as it can lead to a highly inaccurate score, hinder my ability to get better and, worst of all, it may as well be a false indicator of genuine improvements. My last PT was a 168, but after taking PT 73 my score was 155! I practically went back to my 'old self' when I re-took this exam when, clearly, I improved.
My 2 solutions to this accident are as follows:
Purposefully give yourself tunnel vision and magnify into each word when reading the LR stim.
If a piece of 'old self' information creeps up on you while doing an LR question, quickly sling your ass back to reality (much like a rubber band) and restart at the top of the stim.
That's my 2 cents. Curious to hear other remedies or advice!
Hi! I took my diagnostic yesterday and I am hoping to take the August LSAT. I finished the Arguments section, and I am wondering what the practice test timeline should be? When should I take my first PT after my diagnostic? I know 7sage says to not take more than 1-2 PTs a week, but when should you begin taking them regularly?
I have noticed that after my blind review of drilling Qs, timed sections, and full practice tests, the vast majority of questions I get wrong under timed conditions I get correct during my blind review (usually -4 or -5 to -1 during blind review). I am curious what aspects beyond time related factors are worth reviewing or examining in my wrong answer journalling of these questions, as when I do not have time constraints I confidently understand content of the questions and can determine the correct answer.
So my untimed scores are around 175/176. It takes me about 46 min to finish a section. However, on an times PT my score drops down to 163-165, anyone have tips on how to improve timing while maintaining accuracy?
My last 4 pt's have been on average a score of 159. The law school I want to go to has a median lsat of 159. Should I keep PT'ing over the spring and summer and take the test in September and apply in October of this year? At what point would I want to get my recommendation letters and other loose ends of my application tied up? What scores should I be seeing before I stop PT's and sign up for the real thing? Thanks
Is it weird that I can easily breeze through more recent LSATs but for some reason I can't even draw a game board from pre LSAT 38 games. LR sections are togher for me too. Should
I wanted to take a moment to really shout out tutor and course instructor James Marmaduke for going above and beyond. Through a twist of fate, I ended up registered for his Feb 2025 advanced LSAT course and he genuinely cares about each and every one of his students. From my personal experience, especially if you are very self-accountable, I can truly say that a class with James would be worth investing in. As I sat through our first weekly check-in, I was surprised at how much he actually cared about my overall LSAT journey and how obvious that this was more than just a job for him. Also sending much thanks and appreciation to Thomas Langmuir for his patience and support in making this happen in the first place!
Hello everyone! I am wanting to join a study group, suggestions? Thank you
I just took the June LSAT but I haven't done the essay yet, so I wrote a practice one under timed conditions. I'm a strong writer & editor but I have been out of college for a year and a little rusty on writing these argumentative style essays. I'm going to take the essay in the next couple days, but does anyone want to compare practice essays and give each other a little feedback? I took argumentative essay #2 on LawHub, but I'm open to other topics ofc
Hey guys. I just ordered the powerscore 2020 triology books off of amazon. This includes the Logic games, logical reasoning, & reading comprehension books. I want to take my LSTAT on Oct.28th. Any great (or bad) experiences from these books? Also, any advice ?
Thanks !!
Hi Everyone! I came across a some most drill in a LSAT text book which ended up having some trouble with. I thought I would post the question here and get some feedback.
Drill:
Most of the dishes at Oldies Diner are unhealthy and most are offered on special during luncthime. The dishes on special come with the customers choice of free fries or a free soda. All of the dishes offered on special are written up on the chalkboard.
From this information I was able to come up with teis inference:
Oldies most Special---> Chalkboard
The question states "True or False, most of the dishes on the chalkboard are on special".
The answer is true but I am unable to understand why. Thanks in advance! #help
Hey guys, I took the June LSAT and I didn't score what I wanted. Im taking it again in August and feel more prepared. I was wondering if anyone had any input if I should sign up for the September one or if I should wait till the October one? HELP!
Hey all, I remember someone asking a few weeks back about NYC test centers. I just checked LSAC and CUNY Law is now has open seats. I’m guessing some folks may have cancelled for November.
I’ve tested at CUNY before and it’s a great test center. Registration went smoothly, you have plenty of table space, and the restrooms are near the testing room.
I've been going through the PT'S sequentially since pt 36. Got my best score on the last one I took which was pt64 and then yesterday i took pt 65. What was that!? Two 5star rc passages, extremely unusual lr questions, it was a nightmare. Did anyone else take this pt and halfway through felt like they've never taken a pt before?
Hello everyone. I really need some last minute help with my Reading Section, as I take the test in August. I have been averaging -1 to -3 on my LR, however, I have been averaging around -7 to -10 on my RC. I am averaging about a 165-168, but would love to reach a 170. I am looking for a 1 on 1 tutor who can answer my questions and explain to me what I may be doing wrong in my approach for RC. I would love to spend around 50-115 dollars per hour with the tutor. I have tried Varsity Tutors but they were veryyyyy disappointing. Does anyone know any 175+ LSAT tutors that could help me?
