I picked D, which is wrong, and I kind of knew it would. I could not pick C because the it did not translate to what I needed.
Incompetent----> Does not complete
CP Completes ------> Not incompetent.
But the problem for me here was that not incompetent does not( according to our negation lessons) equal competent right?
I was wondering if you guys went over whole of the curriculum first and then started doing full pretests, or were you doing them as you go along ? Also were you doing whole length pretests or just sections?
-Thnx
In other words, is going through the whole course and the 35 prep tests enough to realize one's maximum potential? Is it necessary to do other earlier prep tests under timed condition? Also, after blind review, is it necessary to do the tests repeatedly?
Do any of the practice tests provided have 5 sections? How important is it to do practice tests with the full 5 sections?
Hi, I know this topic has been covered in the forum already but I thought I'd ask again for more input.
I'm currently debating whether to continue and upgrade 7Sage course or travel abroad to take the in-class Testmasters. I'm scoring in the 150s and I feel as though the class structure + homework would help me pull up my score a bit from there which I can pull up further with 7Sage on my own.
Any thoughts?
Wanted to share a bit of inspiration with everybody, and thank the guys at 7sage.
3 months ago I started studying for the LSAT with no idea what I was getting into. Logic Bibles were, frankly, not that helpful, and googling around for tutors just revealed absolutely shocking prices. By chance found a 7sage youtube video explaining LGs, which was my first encounter with an actually useful explanation. Hesitated for a moment over the 200 bucks or whatever it was for the online program but it's been the best investment probably of my life.
Here's my graph of improvement since my first timed PT:
That's 100% down to the 7sage curriculum: My LG bible is getting dusty on a shelf. I really think that the improvement I've seen is not just possible for everybody, but on the low end - those final few points are tough to squeeze out. Everybody taking it in a week - good luck! And to those down for September, you can achieve so much in that time, it'll blow your mind.
Hey everybody,
I'm drilling some Cambridge MSS questions and Im having some trouble with the idea of them. I think of them as "Must Be True" questions, even though I know that we are looking for conclusions, but for some reason, JY's videos don't seem to help me, and this particular problem threw me for a loop. Can anybody explain their particular methods for solving these? I've learned a lot from people telling me their methods, and in particular, can anybody explain this problems? The explanations I've read on Manhattan's LR forums and Kaplan's explanation aren't helping... (To give further context, out of ten of these questions, I'll probably get 8 right, and 6 of those right ones will be due to POE since for some reason, my prephases dont come out right...)
Can anyone describe how helpful the blind review has been for them?
Please read every word of this.

Please leave your smartphones at home. If proctors see it, they will call security and physically remove you from the test center.
What is the approximate expected difference (if any) between practice test scores and the actual test score?
Hey 7sage admins,
You should create a Reading Comp Bundle (conclusion). If you create a Reading Comp Bundle, I would buy it. I also think many others would be interested in buying a Reading Comp Bundle as well. Furthermore, the creation of one (referential phrasing to the Reading Comp Bundle) has the potential to generate more revenue for your site. Again, please create a Reading Comp Bundle.
Your most loyal 7sager,

I was just looking at the explanations for some of the logic games from preptests in the mid 60s and saw how there's been a trend in the last few years of emphasizing the use of xor/exclusive or/negated biconditional in logic games (a is before b or before c but not before both). Since I don't have access to the very most recent preptests (2012-2014), I was wondering if there have been any other such changes to question patterns or emphasis on the LSAT, particularly in LG. Anyone have any thoughts?
Hey guys, what's everyone planning re: their prep for the final week? I'm going to continue on business as usual, writing PT 70 tomorrow, PT 71 Thursday, and PT65 on Saturday, with review days in between. I find that if I take a full day off prior to writing a test I don't do as well, so I'm going to review as I normally would this Sunday.
Non-math major here. So I found out that one of my biggest weaknesses in LR questions is the question type which deals with percentages and averages. I always sucked at math and thinking in terms of percentages and averages does not come naturally to me. Should I break out a math book and review? What do you guys do?
Sufficient Assumption questions are killing me. Anyone have this problem and how have you overcome it?
Hi guys, so I'm sure all of us writing June 9th are starting to get less and less sleep imagining the day we sit down to write this thing. For me this will be my very first (and hopefully only) LSAT, my question is how do I handle these last important days? I started prepping after my finals April 25, so I've had about 6 weeks of hard studying. I've progressed well in the limited time, starting diagnostic at 158, sat around the low 160s for the middle 3 weeks and then the last 2 weeks my PT have been 164, 166, 161, 168, 172 and 171, in that order. This is exactly where I need to score, hopefully avoiding the 161. I've saved prep test 68-71 to do over the next 8 days. How can I make sure I keep rolling, I feel like I'm starting to "peak", the LR answers are jumping out at me as correct and I have scored perfect on my last 4 LG sections (RC is the reason I don't score higher about -8 every time). I need this to last until the 9th, I cant afford to burnout but I also cant slowdown. Any suggestions for how to handle these final days?
I have been studying by myself and my LSAT goal was a low 160s. I scored a 156 then 155 then another 155 and sense then my scores haven't been higher than 152... I know I can't get a refund and my game plan is to sign up here at 7sage to prepare for the next LSAT. Anyways this leads to the question is it better to not take the June test at all? Or should I give it a shot to get a feel for the test? Maybe if I feel confident and think I scored in the mid 150s I don't cancel my test score and I have that score in my pocket. You guys and girls here seem to know this test better than any other place on the internet. What do you think?
This text comes up whenever I hover over a recent post but it does not include any time limit.
Hey so as the title says, I'm looking for a study partner.
I ask for the higher score because I think it'd be nice to study with someone that has a better understanding than you. This doesn't necessarily mean I am looking for a free tutor or something though - I've actually got a tutor from TLS I'll be working with soon (and have worked with in the past). I've been studying for a while now, my last PT was 156 and this was months ago, during my school semester. I studied a lot during my last summer and into my school semester a bit (wanted to take in december) but didn't quite get the score I wanted on PT's so didn't bother writing in addition to getting caught up with school work that took precedent over LSAT studying so I did what I could to maintain.
I am again however, hoping to write in december. I think this time will be a lot better for me since I don't have to spend a most of my time figuring out what the hell I was doing in the first place, and can spend these months drilling - which is where the partner comes in. I think it'd be good for things such as LR (over skype) or discussing general strategies for the test.
If anyone scoring well would be interested, just reply below.
Hey guys, we just updated our text box for comments under the lessons.
We've now standardized the conditional, bi-conditional, some, and most arrows.
Please hard refresh (hold down "shift" and click "refresh" on your browser) if you encounter formatting errors.
So I am having trouble finishing all the questions in time. I am trying to figure the best way to improve. As of now I am thinking of taking one logic game section per day un-timed but doing it as fast as I can. Then printing ten fresh copies and doing them under timed condition. Any suggestion would be welcome. Thanks
Hi guys,
Do you have any idea how the sections affect the overall score? I just took a PT and got a 160, while completely bombing the Logic Games (like I only got 6 correct in the entire section -__-). I'm obviously drilling them and I normally don't do that badly, but I was just wondering what score you think I might expect if I were to do better in that section.
Thanks!!
LSAC just opened registration for the September, December, and February LSATs. The good seats are filling up fast. You want to register as soon as you can so that you won't to drive far to your test location. Also keep in mind that some test locations are more comfortable than others. Some locations have long tables available instead of small desks. So read some online reviews before choosing your test location. I hope this tip helps, and good luck to all of you.
I am registered to take the LSAT this September. I am looking for a serious study partner who is diligent, enjoys strategy, and is taking the intuitive approach to studying. I am open to using Skype chat, or any other online or over the phone method of communication. I am a Philosophy major, and would love to meet others from my major.
Best,
Anne

Does anybody have neck pain from all this studying and test taking? My neck is killing me today! Any advice?
