I tend to mouth the words as I read, especially RC passages. I don't make any sound but it helps a lot. Would this be a problem on test day?

Hi everyone. I will take the LSAT on Nov 12th. I have started to prepare in August. In this short time, I finished a book and watched 7Sage videos. I did 2 PTs and got 145. I have only 10 days from now to improve my score to 153 and I need your advice. Do you think it is possible? Thank you and good luck!

does anyone have the setup to this game?

Hi all!

Drilling logic games prior to the Nov flex test and would love to add a few more to my memorization rotation. Here are the ones I've recently slipped up on that I've been drilling:

PT 74, S2, G4

PT 75, S4, G4

PT 80, S3, G3

PT 80, S4, G4

PT 90, S3, G3

PT 90, S3, G4

Any other suggestions (especially GrpMisc and Misc games) would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all! I've taken the LSAT three times so far-- September 2020, Jan 2021, and October 2021 (After a 6 month brain break.) I've consistently seen improvement in my scores and for both the Jan and October tests I was consistently scoring between 171 and 174 on recent prep tests under exact LSAT flex conditions, and yet I scored a 166 and 167 respectively on the actual day of the test.

Anyone else struggle with something similar, and have any suggestions on ways to prep differently in the two weeks leading up to the November test? I think the Logic Games messed me up in the October test because that was the one section I studied less of this round because last year it was always the easiest section for me, so I'm refreshing my knowledge and re-memorizing hard LGs now.

Does anybody know what LG this is:

It's a grouping game with the two groups being junior and senior high. And it had sub categories had to do with French, German, and Russian.

Thanks!!

Heya, I'm having some trouble with three RC questions from 91+ (9 on the first passage, and 21 and 22 on the third passage). Does anyone have any thoughts on why

For 9 and 22, I was attracted to answer choices C.

Thank you :-)

I worked really hard to perfect LG and I thought that I had arrived when I had a few weeks when my LG performance dropped to -0 or, at worst, -1. When that happened, I kept practising and did not become complacent. I knew not to always expect -0.

But what I didn’t expect was to almost forget how to do the games. I started going -4, -5; and that week’s PT was -10.

I don’t know what to do. Is this kind of regression normal? Am I overthinking things?

Hello, I'm currently sitting -6 RC, -5 LR, -3 LG (PT average 163-165 over last 7 PTs). Any tips getting the LR down to a consistent -2?

I selected (E) though (A) is correct.

(A) "Only Kangaroos can be released earlier than Fiesta."

(E) "Either Fiesta or Kangaroos must be released first."

How are these answers logically different?

If (A) Kangaroos is released earlier than Fiesta, then Kangaroos = 1, Fiesta = 2.

If (E) Kangaroos can be released first, ergo Kangaroos = 1, Fiesta = 2.

The outcomes of both answer choices strikes me as identical.

Someone please help!

Hi everyone,

On the October LSAT, the duet musicians game at the end of the section destroyed me. Normally LG is my strongest section consistently getting 0 to -2 on my PTs. But, for that game I couldn't solve it and ended up randomly guessing for the last 3 questions.

Can anyone recommend challenging games similar to that one from prior PTs? Thank you.

151 --> 145 --> 162 and finally done! I almost completely gave up after getting a lower score my second time around but am so happy I got over it and decided to give this test another shot, test anxiety definitely got to me on the second writing. Thank you 7sage and everyone that has shared their experiences on here!!!

Hey y'all

Writing in here to see if anyone has any advice for making gains on RC - Reading Comp:

I'm taking the November test as my last session before applying, and have not been able to figure out how to improve on RC. On average, I score perfect on Logic Games, and I average 1-3 wrong on LR; which are immense improvements from my original diagnostic range of -4 and -8. For RC however, my gains are not where I would like them to be. I started out in the 8-12 range (terrible I know) and have been able to trim that down to 4-7. Although I have made some solid progress, it just seems like i'm missing something on RC and this is costing me a T-14 score. For LG/LR, when I get a question wrong, it's almost always due to a mistake that I am able to recognize and internalize. I am also able to address the areas that I struggle with, and can address them accordingly. For RC, I realize that there are a couple questions on RC that will simply be too difficult for me to get right. However, my issue is that I continue to miss out on questions that are 50/50, and seem to be making a lot of the same mistakes on the same question types, even after Blind Reviewing for hours. After almost two years of practice, my time spent on passages has barely improved. I average almost 4-5 minutes on the passage, use the highlight functions to a large extent, and occasionally jot down Low-Res summaries for paragraphs.

At this point, i'm not sure if I can say that my issue is a practice thing. I just wish there was some way I could hone in on RC through some supplemental means, resources, courses, books, or exercises that could give me some tips and pointers.

If anyone has any advice that helped them improve on RC, any supplemental resources that they could recommend, or a general diagnosis for my situation, I would appreciate it tremendously.

Best of luck to all of you guys on your Law School journeys, keep grinding!

Hello, I'm taking the November LSAT which is just over two weeks away -- at what point did this section click and what advice would you give to get to that point? I used to think about LR as distinct question types but the past month or so I've noticed that almost all question types have similar patterns in their flaws (if argument-based). During BR I'm missing 2-3 but during timed sessions still missing about 7. Any advice for getting around not seeing the arguments clearly during timed practices? Sometimes there are stimuli that I just don't understand when timed but when I BR, it's like DUH! Of course! Any advice getting around that? Advice regarding timing for both LR and RC would be appreciated also. Thank you!

Scheduling window seems open for November LSAT. ProctorU allows scheduling now. I was expecting it to be available at noon per LSAC's email.

Hi everyone!

Second time writer here (first exam was January 2021). I scheduled my November exam this morning, but for some reason the ProctorU countdown timer has added an additional hour from the actual time I picked. The correct time zone is showing on the scheduled date and time, it is just the timer that is off. From my previous experience with ProctorU in January, I am aware that once the timer runs out, you can start the check in process for your exam.

I tried to chat with a live agent about this to fix the timer but they told me to simply check back 2 days prior to the exam.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Thank you!

Thank you 7sage. I began studying for this test in March 2020 and can finally say I am done with it in October 2021.

I began with a diagnostic of 148. I took the test in June and got a 159, but knowing I had more potential stuck to studying for the Oct LSAT. I was so close to the median for a lot of great schools and knew I could increase my odds by a lot just by raising my score a little bit more. I ended with a 163 this October. I know it’s not a 175 like many people strive for, but for me the 15 point increase and 40 point percentile increase is more than enough to be proud of. I am confident in my ability to get into some amazing schools with this score. 7sage is what got me over the hump and I’m forever grateful.

For those who got their score back and are realizing that their LSAT journey isn’t over, you got this. There were weeks and months I thought I would never break 155. I truly believed I had reached my peak 7 months ago. Remember what you’re studying for- the reason you are going to law school in the first place. We put in the hard work now so that we can make a meaningful difference in people’s lives later on.

While a 163 may seem like nothing special, I fought so hard for it and I’m extremely proud of myself and this community.

Good job my friends!

Hey everyone, I just took PT91 on lawhub and was wondering if anybody would be willing to help me out with a few explanations for some of the questions, specifically:

22: I chose E but not for any particular reason other than I didn't want to waste more time than needed on the question.

23: I can sort of see why AC (A) is the correct answer and if I read it more carefully I would've probably chose it but I chose AC (B) instead. I was stuck between both answers but in my head I was thinking AC (B) was correct because of how the last sentences says "cannot be caused by a simple phenomenon"

24: Was stuck between AC (C + D) ended up choosing C because of the time constraint and failed to realize that the use of 'some animals' obviously implies humans. Just wanted to confirm that C mentioning the precise location of genes is completely irrelevant to weakening the argument.

Much thanks to anyone who decides to explain these to me!

Is anyone else having an issue signing up through ProctorU right now? I got the email from LSAC to sign up but when I tried scheduling a test time it shows "no active exams". When I tried to schedule an exam under "schedule a new session" it only offers my undergraduate institution as an option, not LSAC.

Anyone else experiencing this? ProctorU is a mess and I'm worried this won't be solved anytime soon. Anyone had any luck?

Is anyone who's doing well on the logic reasoning section able to offer some free tutoring. Im totally tanking this section consistently and I'm super frustrated. The videos are just not helping.

Anyone have any advice on how to handle the last two weeks before test day? I'm planning on taking one or two more PT's over the next few days and then to focus more on drilling/reviewing before the November LSAT. My last 5 rolling PT's are averaging at my goal score, so I'm feeling like I'm less in the 'learning' mindset and more in the 'execution' one.

I'm pretty consistently going -0 to -2 on games, so I haven't been practicing it much these past few months. Loosely my plan is to really focus back in on games heading into the test, just to make sure I'm up to speed and not rusty. Not sure if I should continue taking full LR and RC sections or switch to drilling. Or just keep on keeping on with PTs.

How are you all preparing?

Thank you 7Sage!! It took me 2 years of studying, lots of social events sacrificed, and some financial risks to get here. Still signed up for the November test, but we'll see. Happy to be done for now!

I'm rarely one to make a public discussion post like this, but I want to express my gratitude to 7Sage and encourage others to give it a shot.

In September 2019, I got a 156 after using PowerScore. I re-took in November 2020 after studying w/ Khan Academy, and saw a marginal score increase (162), but I was still nowhere near my goal score. I started w/ 7Sage in March of 2021 and told myself this would be the last time.

The 7Sage core curriculum helped me tremendously. Starting with such a great foundation (and treating my LSAT studying like an online class) really helped to raise my floor score. I found myself performing with greater consistency and was confident going into test day (a strange feeling!). Anyways, all this to say that I have been thoroughly impressed w/ 7Sage, and after having used other popular methods like PowerScore and Khan, I can say that this was the best prep regiment I tried hands-down. Excited to never have to think about this test ever again!

On all of the tests, the experimental section is either 3 or 4. Will it be like that on the LSAT as well?

The 7sage video says that the stim. says:

S -> (U or C)

thus, S -> (C -> U)

But this doesn't seem right?

Shouldn't the contrapositive instead be: (U and C) -> S ?

This question is in general very frustrating and confusing, but I need to understand how J.Y. came to the conclusions he came to.
