I am wondering if the questions on the 7sage Drills are taken from LSAC directly? or are they written by 7sage

I find the way 7sage goes through the reading comp passages soooo useful. Although I have one problem and do not really know how to navigate it. If I take my time when going through the RC passages and review it the way I learn in the videos, I find myself taking 30 minutes to do 2 passages...and that's just not good.

How do you guys condense your time reviewing the passages, while using JY's method?

Why is the answer "B" instead of "A?"

Some historians believe that "the decline in wheat production was due to:"

1 Excessive irrigation

2 Lack of drainage

1 and #2 together lead to salt accumulation, problem #3

The way I understand it is that wheat production requires too much water, there isn't enough drainage, and salt builds up as a result of these two problems.

So with answer choice A, if barley requires less water than wheat, then does that strengthen the belief that they solved the too much water to produce problem (#1), the lack of drainage problem since less water needs to be drained (#2), and consequently salt accumulation is not a problem because the two problems causing it no longer are in the picture?

B, on the other hand, just accounts for salt buildup, but that is only a part of the problem because even if salt buildup doesn't matter anymore, we never accounted for too much water or the lack of irrigation.

Hopefully that makes sense and I appreciate any help.

Hello,

I am a bit lost on how frequent I should be taking PTs. I took a diagnostic test a while back, but haven't taken one since as I am still working on the LR lessons. I have heard a lot of mixed advice on how often to take PTs, so I guess I am just wondering how often you all take PTs. Should I take a PT 2-3 times a week once I am finished with my LR lessons? Or should I begin taking them now? I also plan to take the Aug. test.

Has anybody noticed the additional changes in the filtered tags where they have new tags such as "analogy" "Cause and Effect" etc, but there is no questions that fall under the new tags. Is this change still in the works or is it just my account that is not showing the questions

I’m trying to gauge whether or not my experience is normal.

How much time does everyone spend on reading the passage? JUST reading it, not answering the questions.

Every time I review a test or drill, 7sage tells me I’m spending about 2-minutes per passage while also telling me that my target time should be closer to 7-10 minutes. I’m not getting every question correctly so that’s not even a flex. I seem to be struggling to slow down but maybe this is just growing pains.

Since this upcoming June test will be the last test that includes the Logic Games are we predicting the games will be relatively easy or relatively challenging? For example PT 80 Logic Games were extremely hard for me, I couldn't even finish the section. Whereas the LG for the June 2007 PT were relatively easy? What are your thoughts?

I had originally been scheduled to take the LSAT in June, deferred it until August due to my strengths being in LR and RC, and now am unsure of how to proceed.

I have an extremely firm grasp on the LR and RC and do not wish to study the small, pedantic details for a 2nd and 3rd time because I do not want to get into my head and overthink.

But also I am worried that if I strictly take practice tests for 2 months straight, I will be burned out for when I take the test in August.

Has anyone else experienced this and how did you proceed?

-Thank You

I started using V1 back in February when I thought that I would take the LSAT with the logic games, but now I need to push back more because I’m not ready. I’ve done over 300 of the LR lessons, when I switch to V2 it goes back to 0. Can I just keep using the V1 for LR if I’m taking the LSAT August and later?

Hi all, in the RC Analytics / Question Types there is a category labeled "WSE" but it doesn't explain what the acronym stands for. Can you please enlighten me?

Thanks!

Hi, I just finished this practice test and was very confused about why the answer to this question is E.

The stem is asking which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument. The argument can be summarized by the following: if a medieval epistemologist believed something, then it belongs to the broader category of medieval epistemology and vice versa.

The correct answer is: "there is much debate as to which medieval thinkers, if any, were epistemologists." The answer I chose is (paraphrased): some medieval epistemologists had beliefs that contradicted those of other medieval epistemologists.

Who cares if the first one is true? It's true that there is a debate, not that there for certain are no medieval epistemologists. Whereas, if the answer I chose were to be true, it introduces a clear contradiction (where X and not X are true at the same time). Could anyone help explain this? Thank you.

Hello, I am contemplating a lot if I should take the June 2024 LSAT. I have started studying since Jan 2024 however my study schedule has not been consistent to the point that I still need 15 hrs left of the core curriculum and I have not been able to take any practice tests to see where I am at. I really want to get a high score at least 165 +. Should I wing it on the final chance I can do logic games or should I prep more for the August LSAT???

I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed with my first lsat exam coming up next week. I don't feel very prepared and i feel alone in this process. I think i am becoming mentally drained and taxed from studying and not seeing results I want. i am super busy and a undergraduate playing soccer and working. I have been studying for 6 months for the june lsat 3 days a week for 2 plus hours. Im not sure if im studying wrong. i take practice exams twice a week. Is reviewing and doing the drills the best way i learn i feel like the way im studying now isnt working and i would like to try somthing new for when i take the lsat exam in November. im tyring to decide if i should just cancel the june lsat and take my first one in novmber or at leat take it and get some exprience im not sure.

Where can I find pinned questions completed during LR problem sets? When I go to the analytics page, under pinned responses, I only see pinned responses from completed practice tests. I have pinned some questions that I answered under the assumptions module for LR, and those do not appear here.

Hi everyone, I'm taking the LSAT on June 7 remotely. I received the email from LSAC today saying that the LSAT Writing has opened up. Admittedly, I hadn't done much research on the LSAT Writing up until today, but this sentence in the email struck me: "Given the large volume of test takers, we strongly encourage you to complete your LSAT Writing as soon as it becomes available." I sort of scrambled today to figure out how to approach the LSAT Writing section, but I couldn't find anything on 7Sage or on the LSAT Reddit saying that there is a "better" day to take the writing section, or that taking it earlier is better. Is there something I'm missing? Is it better to take it earlier because there might be more proctors available? I don't really know anyone that has taken the LSAT or is a lawyer, so any insight is much appreciated, thanks!

Does anyone know if they will be posting the recording from the June study group? I was at work at the time, so I missed it.

I figured since there is no explanation video on this one, I'd offer my two cents. Please feel free to respond if my explanation is lacking anything or if you have a better one.

So the correct AC is B and here is why. The stimulus tells us that essentially that scientists relying on social reasons like prestige is not actually a bad thing when they are accepting arguments because social reasons are used to influence every human endeavor. The reason why this is the flaw is because it essentially relies on the fact that this justification is used so often as a valid reason to justify this claim. We know this because social reasons are stated to influence every human behavior, highlighting the frequency of use. The principle behind this argument is "if a justification is used frequently then the justification is valid. But obviously this is not true, just because a justification is used frequently it doesn't mean it is at all a valid way of supporting the argument. I mean we can even use real life examples to really highlight how wrong this claim is. Human emotions also influence every human endeavor, does that mean scientists are justified in accepting scientific arguments based on human emotions and is it right that doing so isn't detrimental? Of course not, doing so would lead to so many biases and flawed groundless conclusions.

I'll also disprove C because it seems to be a popular AC. The reason why this is not the correct AC is because it is not the flaw. This AC is saying that the argument does not consider the fact that these scientists in addition to relying on social reasons also consider relevant evidence when accepting these claims. This actually sounds like it is strengthening the argument. Now we have evidence that these scientists are not just blindly accepting arguments based on social reasons and that there is actually some actual definitive evidence behind these justifications.

This is how I explained this question to myself, I'm curious to know your thoughts.

Can anyone explain how C is a better option than D? (No official explanation posted yet)

I keep choosing the second best answer, and then watch the explanation videos and understand why the answer I chose was wrong, but yet I keep doing it. Any advice on this?

Is there any way to get an estimated timeline for when the videos will be released for: Conditional and Set Logic, Logic of Intersecting Sets, Formal Logic Flaws, Logic of Causation. I appreciate it takes time to record the videos, however I find it much harder to focus and absorb the lessons without the audio component. If it seems the videos will take too long before August, I would rather try to learn these lessons from other sources. I appreciate any feedback or advice!

Will there ever be answer choice where both authors disagree with it and that would be considered that they both agree (to disagree) answer?

(Example: LSAT 80, Logical Reasoning I, Q18)

This is a both agree question, however, I was wondering if there could be a scenario where both of them disagree on an answer choice (and that would be considered an agree to disagree)? Feel like there’s a simple explanation for this but I was thinking about it.

RC can kick rocks. I have been studying my ass off to get better at RC and have watched my scores get significantly WORSE! WTF, this shit makes no sense. I am consistent -3 to -5 on LR and consistent -0 to -3 LG, but my RC is anywhere from -4 to -12. And the worst part is that I don't even know what to do. I have tried reading like it is super exciting, slowing down to just comprehend, focusing on language strength, identifying main points, I've hired multiple tutors, and done the RC hero method. Bro, why does none of that shit work? What do I even do? Am I cooked?

at first i hated them now I can't wait for the section.

I feel really in "flow" when i do logic games and rarely ever dread it unlike LR and RC.

Anyone else feel this way?

Hello, I am a junior will be a senior next semester and I have been studying for the lSAT since January. I got the Kaplan book and read front to back, completed all the practice exams on kahn academy, have a tutor who i work with frequently, and have done many lessons to improve my scores but i am still in a range of 146-153 ( scored 153 once and it was my best otherwise i get 149,148,147,or 146 alot). Anyway im taking my very first lsat exam on june 7th and i feel like at this point im not going to do well. I have a 3.9 GPA playing Divison one soccer. I am very dedicated and really want to get into law school but have never been the best test taker. i never get to answer the last 5 LR questions normally to my best abilities because i am rushing with time. Im not sure what i should do at this point. I have spent so much money and feel like a lot of time to do well on this exam but if any one has any advice they could give me i would really appreciate it!

I have been studying the 7sage curriculum since January and just took a second prep test after my diagnostic since January and my score only went up by 2 points is this normal idk what to do and I am taking my LSAT in August. I feel let down and as if I wasted my time.
