I know this is probably a long-shot, but are there any 7Sagers in Tokyo? Please inbox me!

So I have been seeing a trend in my PT's about Logic Games for Replacement Rule Questions. Let's just say no matter what I do, I never get them right. And also find that those questions, for me at least, are time consuming. Can you guys share some tips or tricks which can help me get the answer correct and in less time?

Thanks!

Can someone help me out with identifying the flaw here? There's not an explanation video, so I've linked the question bank. Preptest C is at the bottom.

hey all

so i've been noticing a trend where for every LR section, there are about 2-4 questions where I'm down to 2 AC's (a wrong AC and the right AC), and I often pick the wrong AC over the right AC.

This is very frustrating because sometimes I feel like I'm just rolling the dice between the 2 AC's (and that I was so close to getting the right AC). Any advice or suggestion to deal with this?

I think perhaps I should just get in a habit of skipping these questions once I'm down to 2 AC's, and then try to come back to them?

The challenge is I often have other questions (like 2 or 3) that I had no idea how to do and I completely skipped that I return to do during round 2, and then don't have enough time to review these questions where I was just down to 2 AC's.

So for priority for Round 2...

Should I

Plan A:

Plan B:

The challenge is that often the 1st step in each plan takes a solid amount of time, and I run out of time to fully do the 2nd step.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Like, what are the chances there's a comparative passage on the November test?

Hey everyone,

I was hoping someone could help. Essentially, I applied for accommodations due to lingering effects of a recent concussion I suffered. I was seeking accommodations for the Nov 17 LSAT in Canada. Although, I was granted the accommodations my test date has been moved to the 19th which seems a little odd. I have 2 questions; firstly, will I still receive my score at the same time as other Nov writers? Secondly, will I get a different version of the exam than individuals writing on the Nov. Anything helps, thank you once again guys!

Hello everyone,

I am planning on taking the January LSAT which is on the 26th, and some of my schools have an application deadline of February 15. Will I receive my score on time for the deadline?

I consistently am getting -5 wrong on LR sections. However, most of the times those wrong answers are from Flaw and Weakening questions. I am blind reviewing, looking at explanations, and writing down each questions I get wrong with explanations as to why I got those questions wrong. I have done LR sections untimed with writing down the premise and conclusion along with timed, and I'm still stuck at around -5.

How do I get better at these questions? I feel like I'm doing all I can. Am I just doomed?

In the video explanation for PT40, Game 3, why did JY set up the circle of cities out of order? We got the cities in the order of HMPTV, and yet when putting up the cities, he wrote them in the order of H M P V T starting with H at the top and going clockwise (notice that he switched the T and the V). Does anyone know why he did this? He didn't seem to explain that at the beginning of the video when he writes down the cities in that circle.

I suspect it was because with the way he wanted to note that H and T couldn't be connected and H and M couldn't be connected, his order allowed him to keep crossed out lines for the M H T at the top of the circle - which wouldn't interfere with drawing connections between the other cities. But if we did the cities in the order given, then in order to cross out the connection between H and T, that would visually interfere with making connections between some of the other cities, like between M and P, for example, since you'd have to draw a connection between M and P while that connection visually intersects with a crossed out connection between H and T. If that's the case, I understand visually why it makes sense, but I don't see how anyone would ever think to write the cities in that order unless they already knew the precise rules and inferences that were about to come up!

The test is coming up and I must say, I'm starting to feel a bit discouraged. I do feel a huge leap from my initial (137) in June of last year because now I'm consistently scoring 149-151 but on PT 38 about two days ago, I scored a 156 which was my best yet. I was very happy, but today I took PT 39 and scored 149. BR'ing and finding it extremely difficult to focus and I'm just doing terrible. I'm not sure if this is just a really difficult exam for me, or if I'm just burnt out? Anyone have any advice, I'd really appreciate it. I think I'm just worried the test in November will be even more difficult than this PT 39 I did. I just felt confident and now not so much :(

Anyone else attending JY's RC wokshop here in NYC? Excited?

Any thoughts on how the study format will be?

Hey all, as tomorrow marks the first of November, I was wondering how the other November test-takers are spending the last 2.5 weeks before the big day. I'm trying to avoid burnout, and am taking a PT every two days. At this point, I'm almost struggling to find motivation in the face of the fact that the next 2.5 weeks cannot make or break my score. How are you guys staying motivated?

Hey Guys!

I have taken various PTs (60-78) and have used the grader section of 7sage to grade them. If I purchase the starter will I be able to quick view all the questions I got wrong? Currently it shows a lock, but I’m not sure if the starter may unlock a quick view for pt 72 for example. It says analytics is unlocked with the starter and just wanted to confirm this. I would do the Ultimate but I can only afford the starter. Thanks!

I've noticed that sometimes there's an appealing-seeming AC in LR, oftentimes early in the ACs (like B or C), that will "seem" kind of right (but maybe too strong or wrong for one reason or another), and then, when I go through the remainder of the ACs, it's harder to see them in a disinterested way as that experience of being kinda impressed by B for instance will lead to a less rigorous interpretation of the other options and a sort of confirmation bias where you don't want to seem wrong in your initial assessment of B. Any solutions for this?

Hi all,

Does anyone recommend doing logic games in order, from earliest to latest?

HELP I AM SO BAD AT THESE WHAT DO I DO

I am having some trouble comparing A and B to each other. I believe the flaw itself is that Sid is confusing the consequences of a hypothetical with just one person walking across the grass. Can anybody shed some light on A and B?

Can someone please help me comprehend why "reducing stress can help weakened immune system" is same as "stress can weaken the immune system" ? It seems like invalid negation to me...

Thanks a lot!

I took the LSAT in June 2017. It didn't go as well as I wanted. I took a bunch of time off to figure out if I really wanted to do law school (I do). I am taking the November test and my PTs are bouncing around a wide range (161-168). My goal is 165+. Any advice?

If you're taking the November 2018 LSAT and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, you can get a free 14-day extension from this page: https://classic.7sage.com/free-extension/

For those of you who are expiring after, good luck on the LSAT! We here at 7Sage are rooting for you.

I'm scheduled to take the November test, but today I am real dissatisfied where I'm scoring. I'm starting to seriously consider the January test. Or .. even the March test? But March seems such a late date for applying for 2019. How much could I expect to raise my score in the 3 months till the January exam or 5 months to March exam?

And if I decide to do this, should I wait to apply to competitive schools only after the second attempt?

I started using the skipping strategy that the Sages talk about in the webinar on a timed drill section today and got TWICE as many wrong as I usually do. What gives?

I’m in need of some advice from whoever can offer me some. I have been writing PTs and have been not doing well on the LR sections. However I have been doing good on the practice questions that come after every LR lesson. I also have confidence that I know how to tackle LR questions. Can someone help me try and figure out what can be done to resolve this or am I just over analyzing?

I am fluctuating in the range 165-172. My median score is a 168 and I'm aiming for a 170 on test day. I know I am capable of it - my BR score fluctuates about 2-3 points in either direction of 175.

I'd love any advice on how to consistently produce my top scores. Some details/stats:

With 3 short weeks left what can I do to nail down those last few points? Should I shorten the time on my PTs? Take fewer PTs and focus on Flaw, NA, PSA? Something else entirely?
