Hi 7Sage community! I had a quick question about the new LSAT interface that has now been confirmed for adoption starting in August. I realized while practicing with the new interface on 7Sage that in RC, the new interface no longer highlights the portion of the text that the question stem refers to. This is especially confusing and time-consuming when questions ask us to identify multiple sentences (e.g., how does the second sentence of the first paragraph relate to the third and fourth sentences of the third paragraph?). Does anyone know whether the highlight feature will disappear on the official test as well? :/

Does anyone have an efficient way of studying the Logical Reasoning question stem? I was thinking of making flash cards but I am open to any other ideas. Thank you!

When would you guys advise to take the last exam before Friday? I took one yesterday, but I want to see if I can crank out one more this week. Do you think it might be too close to the exam to take an entire PT on Wednesday?

I took my first full length Practice test today and got a 160. My goal is 167-168 by the August LSAT. I was wondering if anyone else could share how much they improved in a 2 month window. Is it doable to get those 7-8 points in 2 months. I’m just curious about other people and their scores. Thank you.

Is anyone else doing the comprehensive study plan and feel like the LR section is overkill? I like all the drills but it feels sooo repetitive. But now when I try and switch the LR section to "balanced" it has my date of finishing tomorrow and I'm obviously not going to be able to catch up.

Right now with the comprehensive plan it has my "practice" section only lasting 3.5 weeks even though it says 5 weeks in the plan. I feel like thats not long enough.

I want to be taking more practice tests and running drills but its taking me forever to get through the LR question types because of this... so I don't know what to do. Please help lol.

So I just took a practice test and I looked at my results just to see my score, I was planning on doing a blind review on missed questions but I can't find where to start a blind review, is it unavailable because I looked at my score or am I missing Something?

Hi all,

Any advice on how to get faster especially with RC, I find that I am getting the answers I can get through correct but I always run out of time right before the 4th passage. What has helped people? Also any advice for going faster in LR would also be appreciated!

Hi! This June LSAT will be my first time taking the test. I am wondering what people recommend doing the week before the test? I have consistently been taking two full practice tests a week and drilling throughout the week. Currently, I am scoring where I would like to be.

For those who have taken it before or have more knowledge on this, what would you recommend doing to feel best on test day? I do not want to burn myself out before the test, but I definitely do not want to lose any progress I have made.

Any recommendations would be super appreciated!!

I haven't studied since I last took the LSAT in Jan this year, and thus I am unsure if my analytics reflect my current understanding.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello I made an lsat study group on groupme where we can help each other out , ask questions , give each support and tutor each other. This is good way to study for the lsat because we can learn from each other so we can get the best possible score . The more the merrier . This is a good and free way to receive extra help .

When you've studied for YEARS (on and off) and get sub-par, mediocre timed PT scores (153 being the highest) but blind review in the mid-high 160's-177?

Words can't even begin to describe how demoralizing and unmotivating this is...

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to get insights on how to warm up before taking a timed PT. Do you guys do a RC passage or a couple of LR questions? If I go directly to the PT, I feel like I can't really "click" until the end of the 1st section.

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Happy studies 😊

Hi all! If I remember correctly, I thought there were summaries of all LR and RC question types, their prevalence, what to look for in right/wrong answers, etc. I can't seem to find them. Does anyone know where I might find these? Thank you and happy studying!

This is still a very good score for me, but the fact that just a few months of consistent studying can basically guarantee you a score in the mid 150's, thus granting you entry into a decent law school... Let's just say if you told me this was possible when I was starting out I wouldn't have believed you. So to all the self-doubters, to all the ones who took a gap year because they kept questioning if they were really cut out for this or not, I remind you not to give up, your future self will thank you.

Hello everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been consistently PTing at a 168 average recently, and I just know I have the potential to hit a 170+. My BR proves this. I noticed that there are questions that I will get wrong on LR, but during BR, I'll immediately choose the right answer, even going as far as thinking that the answer is obvious. I don't know how it flies over my head during the actual test, and this happens for at least 3 questions every exam. Those 3 questions could push me to the 170s. Sometimes these questions are flagged and sometimes they're not. Regardless, somehow I'll totally miss the obviousness of the right answer. I've been trying to focus more on that mistake but I'm not getting anywhere. Does anyone have advice?

Hi! I find that the process of elimination helps me a lot to narrow down answer choices when I am struggling with a question. However, I have been drilling flaw questions and can't seem to figure out how to decide between the last two answers I have narrowed it down to. To me, the differences between the answer choices are both so minute, and somehow I always end up choosing the wrong one. I just know I am SOOO close to getting the right answer and would love some help to get there.

Please let me know if you guys have any good strategies for breaking the ties and approaching flaw questions!!!!

Hi everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been studying since December and I always felt like things were never really improving for me understanding wise. For example, I will watch an explanation video and completely understand what I did wrong and what I was supposed to do but then when I go to apply it on a similar question I always seem to be getting it wrong anyway. Over time I started noticing that its not that I simply wasn't improving but I was actively getting worse. For context, I recently finished the LR module and now I'm wondering if I should move straight on to the RC module or keep practicing LR until I have that down, then move on to RC. My diagnostic was a 140 so not too great. I'll be drilling LR questions and I will sometimes get level one or two questions wrong and oftentimes at the end it'll say my preptest equivalent is in the 130 somethings meaning I'm getting worse despite practice. I plan on taking the test in September with a goal of at least 155 so I do believe I have enough time to get there. Is this a normal thing to be happening or should I be worried about this apparent decrease in my scores. If this is something I should be worried about, what are some things I can do about it? Also, should I keep working on LR before moving on to RC or should I just move on to RC now? Any advice is appreciated and if you need me to elaborate more on anything, please let me know!

Hello , I am new to lsat studying . I'm am terribly struggling with to find the gap of why the premises doesn't lead to the conclusion. It's hard to come up with a bunch of reasons as to why it doesn't lead to the conclusion . If I do come up with a gap it doesn't match the answer choices.

Anybody else struggling? What are some ways I can come up with different reasons why the premises doesn't lead to the conclusion faster and more accurate?

Also , is finding the missing gap useful for only strengthen , weaken , flaw , sufficient assumptions etc?

Hi!

I'm wondering if there is a cheat sheet that exists to help coin what language indicates a specific task.

For example: "properly inferred" = Must Be True

I understand that for a lot of question stems there's more obvious wording (i.e. Which ... must be true = must be true) but I'm just curious if something like this exists and can be shared for the examples that aren't so readily apparent.

I have a cheat sheet with each question type and their approaches and would LOVE to be able to add this info to each.

Thank you!

Hello I’m new to 7 sage and I’ve only used the free account but I want to invest into studying. What plan do y’all have and recommend I definitely am looking for something that will keep me disciplined throughout this process :) feel free to let me know what y’all recommend

Hey y'all, hope everyone is doing well :) I'm struggling to close that gap between my timed and blind review tests. Albeit, I just started my timed phase and bombed PT 150, I'm looking for advice that I can implement as I continue to do timed tests.

I feel more relaxed during blind review and this always gives me a different (and most often correct) perspective on the material. Thus, I pick the right answer. How do I approach my timed test the same way I'm approaching my blind reviews? I'm always scoring at my target 170s in my blind reviews, it's just frustrating that I can't get this to happen on my timed runs.

Tyvm for the time nd consideration gang

Do the difficulty ratings of questions update as more users attempt the questions?

Also, is the formula used in calculating the those ratings publicly available?

Is there a specific order y'all recommend for approaching the RC passages? Right now, I’m trying to do the passages with the highest number of questions first and save the passages with fewer questions for last. Also, is there usually an easy-to-hard order within the section, like, is the first passage generally easier than the last?

LSAC just sent out the following updates regarding the new LawHub interface:

1. The final version of the LawHub interface-- including fully functional highlighting for stimuli, question stems, and answer choices-- will be released in June.

2. LawHub just this week added functionality that enables test takers to see questions they’ve flagged directly in the question bar, without having to open a separate review panel.

3. All Official LSAT PrepTests in LawHub are now available in an updated version of the new UI.

4. The content of the test is not changing.

5. The annual subscription price for LawHub Advantage will increase to $124 on July 1.

Curious what everyone thinks about the new interface so far.
