I am studying from the core curriculum beta version and i am completely lost on the logic. I think I need a more visual explanation because I really don't feel like I understand it.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions on what to do so I can understand it.

How does the score conversion work? Like if only 3 sections count, are they accounting for the fourth that we take, assuming we don't take it 'simulated modern'? Or do they just completely not count the experimental section as the actual LSAT would?
Hi all!
My understanding is the following:
However, when "or" means "and" in a sentence, do we follow Group 3 rules? How would we write it in Lawgic?
Example: Jane is a faster eater than either Mary or Jon.
Thanks in advance!
Hello! I took a look at putting things into CAS, but for some reason it doesn't have a level for community college or associates? All I see is Bachelor's, Graduate, and Law but the only thing the community colleges could give out were associates. What should I put for this?
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not it is possible turn off the green check marks that show your progress in the syllabus? Thank you for your help!!
So, I started using the V2 of the CC, and I absolutely love it. This is what I have been wanting and looking for.
It was a great idea to do a lesson on the question type, show a question being done, and then have us try it with a video of the explanation afterwards! This is excellent!
The transcript after the video is an amazing way to reinforce what we just watched. It is also perfect for those who can't watch the video for whatever reason and they would rather have a transcript to read of what was said in the video.
I will edit this when I have more feedback.
I do have a question, for the drilling after the lesson, when is it a good time to move on to the next lesson? How many questions should we get right? Should we do all variations of drills such as easiest, easier, med and so on?
I don't think the beta version 2: core curriculum is for me and would like to revert to the original core curriculum/ study schedule (without losing my progress). is this possible? thank you!
The LSAC has not released an official August test date, but they usually hold one each test cycle. Do you guys think there will be one? Cuz I don't necessarily think I will be prepped enough by the June Test date.
requesting to refund for June and want to sign up for August
I took the LSAT last year and scored a 140. This is a poor score because I didn't get to do as much studying because I was working and in school full time. I plan on taking the LSAT in June and I have been studying. I'm trying to break the 150's.
Anyone got any tips and tricks? Was anyone else scoring this poorly? (My GPA was a 3.7 and I have plenty of law firm experience it's just I'm struggling with this exam).
Title says it all.
I have a hard time blind reviewing. I am currently working through the CC and whenever I finish a lesson I focus on drilling questions from that lesson; Isolated questions. Questions from pt 37-159. Approx. 20 questions in two days with 3-5 questions of the previous lessons.
So, after completing these drills, I just check the answers. Most of the time I am down to two answers and initially choose the right answer, but second guess myself and choose the wrong answer.
I look at the question that I got wrong and what the correct answer was and I just think to myself, "Damn, I knew it, I had it chosen at first but went with the other answer" or "I knew it.. I should have chosen that answer" without choosing it the first time.
So, should I blind review my drills of specific questions, or should I wait to blind review full pts after I finish the CC and I'm doing all the question types rather than the current lesson plus previous lessons.
Also, I feel like I'm not really getting anything out of BR. I will just watch the video and explanation and be like ok that makes sense, but still make the same errors.
For example, I'm on SA questions. I would do about 20 SA questions with an additional 20 - 25 questions of MBT, STR, Weaken, MSS, MC. I would do all the easiest questions, move onto easier, and so on. Every few weeks or so I would combine them all and do a 20-25 question drill of all the types I've been practicing with a wide range level of difficulties.
Hey 7Sage,
Some of you may have noticed that we have a new LSAT podcast. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. Do you like it? Is it better than the old podcast? Why or why not? How can we make it better?
Be honest, please! The more you share, the more we'll be able to improve.

I am retaking the LSAT this summer and I am afraid of ProctorU Interruptions.
I was interrupted multiple times during my first test and honestly thinking about it gives me anxiety. She kept on telling me to move, reposition myself, and readjust my computer during LG and RC. This messed up my concentration and wasted time. I even had to re-read some RC passages which wasted even more time.
Is there a way we can avoid Proctor Interruptions?
(I did not file a complaint with LSAC or ask for a retake which I regret)
Hi! Is it wise to go through all of the drills or problem sets in a class while you're studying the set? Or is it better to learn the material/watch the question run-throughs and then spread out the drills throughout the week? An example would be the MSS Question Class set in the LR section. I feel if I do all 12 of the MSS problem sets spread out (maybe 2-3 a day), it'll help refresh my memory more often instead of doing it all at once and then not touching it until I take a PT.
Please send me a private message if you are interested
Hello all, I have studied for about one month and I am scoring about a 140 and supposedly and I am wondering if I should take the June or August exam. I get almost every LG section correct however I see what is pulling me down is my RC and LR which I can only get around 8-10 questions right. I struggle to understand the answers choices so much I feel like I understand the conclusion and premises in majority of the LR section however I do not understand the answer choices at all at times. I use to prep with a physical RC and it helped me annotate and take side notes. However 7 sage does not offer a lecture nor an alternative way to practice with the new electronic version of the LSAT. So if their are any tips on how I can fix these flaws I would appreciate it.
How come when looking online at certain LSAT prep websites, some sites appear to incorrectly state that there are 5 sections on the LSAT including 2 logical reasoning sections and 1 unscored section? I thought that even the old version of the LSAT only had 4 sections as well, but the difference was that the double section was predetermined to be logical reasoning and now the double section differs depending on the test you take. I’ve never heard of there being an LSAT with 4 scored sections and 1 unscored… This fifth section is also not listed as the writing prompt as that is listed separately from the unscored section on these sites.
Hello all, I have been asking my friends who are in law school when to retake the lsat. They suggested I take the August 2023 exam and take the September 2023 exam as a back up. But I am worried that wouldn’t be the smartest choice to make. I work full time and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle but I’m not sure if that is the right decision to make as I have little time in between that month to study. Should I wait an additional month before retaking? Thank you!
Hello everyone! I'm taking the April LSAT this Friday, and I was wondering if anybody could share some suggestions and tips on what to do the day before/the day of the LSAT to mentally prepare or get ready. Would it be helpful to do some reviewing the day of/day before, or give myself a brain break to avoid burning out? What's a good breakfast to have the day of? Does anyone have any stress-management techniques? I want to hear any and all advice you think is worth sharing, or literally anything that you've noticed helped prepare yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, etc. for the test.
When I select certain tags to create a drill, the website loads for a short time, then tells me it could not make a drill based off the criteria selected. There should be enough questions in each tag to constitute a drill, so I'm unsure why this is happen. Please let me know if I am doing something incorrect or if this is a bug, thank you!

Hey all! I’m taking the April test this Friday and I was wondering about the writing test if I need to complete it before I take the test on Friday? How long is the writing test opened for? I was hoping to take the writing test next week or the last week of April before the score releases in May.

Hi all
I'm diving back into the world of LSAT prep after an extended break since taking the flex in late 2020. For that test I mostly prepared with Khan Academy, though I also took an LSAT course a year prior during college. On that exam I scored a 166. I'm positive I aced LG, thought I was -1 or 2 in LR, and then lost my mind in RC; whatever other incorrect answers got me that score came on that section.
After the test, I joined the workforce with the intention of gaining experience, finding myself etc. before applying to law school. Somewhere along the line I decided I should go back and all-in on prep, as I want to improve upon that score and my chances of admittance at a T-14 Law School. Now I'm on 7sage, about to buy a subscription.
I'm posting here because I'm a bit overwhelmed at the task ahead of me, and am feeling some anxiety about being able to get back to the level I was at in 2020, much less surpass it like I'm hoping. It feels like I'm back at square one, at least until I do the dive and pick up on some old skills. Does anybody have similar experiences or suggestions, either on repreparing or general RC improvement?
Thank you
