Is anyone willing to explain the third game to me for May Flex 2020? I have it figured out but I was wondering if there was a faster/easier way to solve this game. Thank you!

For the LSAC LawHub prep tests purchased with the monthly plan on LSAC's website, is there an option to switch the test to a Flex test like on 7Sages prep test Platform? Are others routinely taking the LSAC's prep tests to simulate the actual test day interface and then reviewing the questions with explanations from the corresponding test on 7sage? Looking for the best way to incorporate the LSAC tests with the 7 sage explanation material.

I'm new to 7sage and I have been going through the curriculum. I like the idea of low resolution summary but I'm curious as to how you'll are doing this on the LSAT Flex where you are unable to write on the passage. Are there any techniques that you'll use for annotation?

Background: I usually score around -6 on LR and LG, but my RC grades usually sit around 50% incorrect answers. I'd like to get this down to the same level as the other two sections before I proceed with studying them further. (I haven't implemented the Low Res/ High Res summary technique on a practice test yet, before I didn't have any strategy at all.)

What is question PT2.S1.Q17? RecS?

Where can I find the written out guide of what all the tags mean? I am trying to identify the question types I tend to get wrong, but I am confused by the tags and their abbreviations.

Thank you!

Does anyone know how one would go about Blind Reviewing a Preptest from LawHub? I find it unfortunate that they automatically score your results.

I made great improvements in the LR section after using the loophole. On the pt's in the 60's and 70's i was usually -3 to -5. Since moving into the 80's though my scores have gotten much worse, anywhere from -5 to -8. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found that taking a break from timed sections and pt's to go back to doing translation and clir drills helped? That is what helped me get to -3 on the earlier pt's but i am scheduled to take January and taking a break from timed work scares me. Appreciate any feedback you may have!

I simply do not understand how the answer choice parallels the stimulus at all. Can anyone explain it to me to help me understand? Thank you! PT8.S1.Q16.

Hi all - I'm in about month 8 of studying with various breaks and hiatuses along the way. My last section to master is Reading Comp. I can go anywhere from a -1 to a -9, but it's very dependent on timing. How have you all mastered timing for the reading comp section and balanced that with accuracy? It takes me 3-4 minutes to get through the passage. It would be great if I could get through in 2-3 minutes, but even if I tell myself that's my goal it usually doesn't happen and I end up running out of time on the last passage. Any tips would be helpful and thank you in advance!

Why is A incorrect? Wouldn't this reinforce that connection between exposure to germs and a higher number of family members as being the reason why the kids have lower incidence of allergies?

Have a conversation with the author

• this encourages a deeper analysis because it helps to imagine different viewpoints

• frontload: spend as much time possible on understanding the passage

Connect back

• to previous paragraphs

• previous parts of longer sentences (especially those with modifiers or ---.....---)

• pay close attention to referential phrases and anything that gave you pause

How to approach questions

• carefully read question stems

• think of ACs as contenders: treat each AC as not 100% correct, not 100% incorrect

• rarely go back and reread: unless it's a few seconds to verify some detail because sometimes our brain registers a word or phrase when skimming parts of a paragraph then we see an AC that includes that word/phrase but ends up being a trap AC. our brains find a way to make wrong ACs sound right

Active reading

• use examples: picture things in your head, or as JY says, flex your imagination (especially for sciences passages)

• engage with the passage right from the get-go

• having a structural low-res summary is always helpful, but memory retention is also important: your ability to recall detail can save time

Strategies on timing

• don't reread too much if down to two and it's a 50/50 tossup - if you can't get it in 5 seconds, flag and move on

• use "ctrl + f" as last resort

And most importantly: be careful and slow when reading; be aggressive when choosing and knocking out ACs

I've found @Christopherr 's RC sessions to be really helpful and I think this might be useful to those who couldn't make it!

Hi all. Nearly all of my last bit of prep has been focusing on getting my RC better/more reliable. Sometimes, I can get -0 on a timed section I've never done before, and then turn around and get -4 on a timed section that is a redo and I took it only 2 months ago. I'll even swing as far as a -7 or -8 on new, timed sections. There seems to be very little rhyme or reason. Not only that, but a lot of the time, I won't even get the same answers wrong as I did the first time. For example, I retook an RC section today and got -4 compared to -5 when I initially took it. And, the ones I got wrong this time were ALL ones that I got correct the first time. It makes me not even want to study for RC because I feel like nothing I do matters-- I may do good or I may do bad, but it truly does all feel like it's up to chance. Like obviously I should have been able to get those four questions correct, as I've done so before. Anyone else struggle with the same thing and found a way to get their variability in RC down? Thanks.

This is hurting my brain. #Help

I don't understand how A would strengthen the argument. If even a few members of Group B ate nutritious breakfasts and didn't increase their productivity as much as Group A did, wouldn't that weaken the argument even if Group A has a stronger correlation between eating nutritious breakfasts and increasing in productivity? And when A says few in Group B had nutritious breakfasts, can that be translated as "most did not have nutritious breakfasts?"

It took me 20 min, and I still could not find the right answer, so I just left it. I was stuck between A, D, and E. Any help? Thanks 7Sage.

"have another question about what JY means by memorizing all the inferences for the logic games. Lets say I memorize all the inferences like he says, the problem I is when test time comes I will be presented with a brand new logic game with a completely different set of inferences than I have memorized. The moment I'm given a new test wouldn't I be starting at square one again? Or isn't it like being asked to memorize a maze in order to find your way around a completely different maze? Am I not understanding something? Is is not so much "memorizing" as it is consciously understanding all of the inferences? Because if I memorize all of the inferences then I can get through the game without even thinking about what I'm doing. Does that make sense? Thanks for your help."

Hey all!

I just scored a 156 and BR'd a 164 on PT 82 (the Flex version) this may not seem like the best score to a lot of people but my first diagnostic last year was a 142 - so to me, this means the world because it means progress!

I am still very anxious as my goal is a 160 for the January Flex test, so I would like to be scoring between a 161-163 (or higher lol) for going into January. My weakness lies in RC, I've come a long way but just can't seem to find any consistency in it.

Wondering if anyone knows anything about this RC section (is it an easier one or is it average?) Also wondering what study tips were most effective for you in RC. I've been doing as many passages as I can, blind reviewing, and going through the answers in JY's videos. I've found this to be really helpful but as always I'm open to suggestions! I also scored -10 on this LR section which I think is unusual for me.

Yay to progress and staying positive!

Hi, I posted on here before talking about free group tutoring, especially in LR (see post linked below!)

I wanted to let everyone know (and possibly some new people as well) that the time/topic has been finalized!

The group session will on Wednesday 12/2 noon/12pm GMT+9, or 10pm EST. It should go on for around 1.5-2, or so, and I'm going to be covering, roughly, the following topics:

Afterwards, I'll be going through an entire LR section and talking through my approach. If you want to follow along, please have PT20 S1 in hand.

Join the following zoom link @noon/12pm GMT+9, or 10PM EST!

Hey guys,

I scored a 155 on the november LSAT. I did practice tests 74-89 and the flex exams. I want to get into the 160's. I am really unsure on how to study for this month and a half. Any advice?

Hi, I took the LSAT in August scored a 138. I retook in November and used the LSAT Trainer and really studied. I scored a 134. I dont even know how thats possible. What do you guys think I can score by January Lsat?? I don't understand why I'm doing so bad. I start 7 sage today.

When I go back to the older games, I just completely blank out on them and need to watch video explanations to even have a shot but I feel by memorizing the game, it somehow takes away from the learning process? What am I supposed to do when I am stuck on a game?

Long story short, I've taken the LSAT 3 times. Please I don't want to hear, "well if it hasn't worked yet then you're not meant to go to law school." I took the test in October and I was not on my A game.That's not what I'm asking. It's my dream and I'm giving it one more go. I'm so hopeless with LG. Doesn't matter how many explanations or charts I see I'm stuck in the same spot I have been for 5 years. I've accepted that LG and I will never happen. I'm trying one more time for the test in April. I spent almost a month from the beginning of November to now just focused on LG and I have squat. Now I don't need a score in the 160s or 170s to go the schools I want, I'll settle for anything in the 150s. I'm starting to think of methods how I can still achieve this. Would it be smart that if in around another month I still haven't made progress in LG to focus on getting more points in LR and RC? Because since the flex test is around 74-78 questions, based on a score calculator, I would need to get about 40 right to be in the 150s. I'm open to any kind and respectful advice. Good luck to everyone.

I practiced a lot of LG questions and I got a huge improvement on it. However, my timing is terrible.

I want to ask for help on LG timing!

Please drop your advice!

Thank you so much :)

I scored a 169 on the October LSAT and looking to break 170 on the January test. Reading comprehension is holding me back, and I am currently averaging around -3 – -4 on practice tests for RC. If anyone has any tips/tricks/drilling suggestions to get down to -1 – -2, please let me know!

Hello, in the RC section I struggle a lot with finding the main point of the passage. Does anyone have any strategy for how to quickly figure out the main point of a RC passage?
