I have noticed recently that I almost always take a long time on the first game. For instance, if 7Sage indicates that the game should be completed in 7 minutes, then it would take me 2 minutes longer. Regardless of the game type, this has happened both during warm ups and full length PTs. I’m either taking too long to diagram or have to refer back to the game board multiple times when answering questions (less confident?) This in turn messes up my timing for the rest of the section where I feel rushed.

Does this happen to anyone else? And what would be a good strategy to fix it?

Hi! I took the June 5th test and got a 159, I was averaging around a 163 before the test.

I signed up for the July 15th test but I took a 3 week break and then couldnt get back up to my regular above 160 scores. So I withdrew and didnt take the test. The fact that I couldnt bring my score back up made me think that I have to review foundational information.

I want to take the test again, and would start studying around September 1st. I'll be working part time around 15 hrs a week and would like to get a165 or above if I retake. I think i have an OK foundational knowledge but would want to revisit material.

How do I know which test to aim for and which 7sage package to use? Should I combine this with any of the Power Score bibles?

How long does it take to get through 7sage’s lessons/course material?

Thank you!

I want to take the October LSAT, but the exam falls on a Monday. I have four classes every M/W/F at my college. I am wondering if taking this exam will count as an excused absence or unexcused? I know every college is different, but i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what the outcome was. I'm worried because the LSAT will fall somewhere around my midterms, but I can't be sure until I get my syllabi for the classes next month. I want to make sure that if I do have to miss a midterm for the LSAT that it will count as excused and I will be able to take midterms later.

Please let me know if anyone has any idea because I cannot find the answer on my school's absence policy. Thanks!

Hey guys, I just started studying for the LG portion of the exam. I was wondering if you had any tips for learning what to look for in the answer choices. For example if the question stem asks, "All of the following could be true except . . . " JY, without skipping a beat, says okay we are looking for 1 Must be false and the 4 others could be true. Not the best example, but its the best I could come up with right now haha. Thank you in advance!

Does it work well together with the content in the CC for 7Sage?

Should I do one before the other? I'm about to start the CC for LR soon with Ultimate+.

I've got plenty of time since I'm registered for the April 2020 LSAT.

Thank you!

Thx.

Is there a way to create a problem set based on a specific type of RC question? Based on my trends I need to work on meaning of phrase in context and application of hypothetical situations. Is it possible to create questions sets with that filter or are RC problem sets simply based on full passages.

I have yet to solve one LG on my own even without any time restrictions. I do very well with LR and RC, but for some reason LGs have been beating the crap out of me. It is difficult for me to fully comprehend how I should initially set up my game board, better yet make any inferences consistently. Mind you, I am still in progress with the LG section of the CC—but am nearly finished—but regardless, it has been totally disheartening for me.

How long did it take for you guys to fully grasp LG?

Does anybody have any advice for practicing logic games when you have spare time at the doctor's office, in between meetings, etc.?

Whether that be completing a full problem set off my phone or writing out a quick diagram, I am hoping for some suggestions as to how to practice without my laptop on me!

Thank you :)

I am studying from a LR LSAT book and it has it diagrammed as

Man->many parts.

I thought “is required” is a group 2, so shouldn’t man be the necessary clause like many parts->man?

Hi! I know everyone has different strategies for what works well for them for FP LG PT 1-35.

I would love to hear others experiences in how they saw optimal improvements working their way through each of the game sections.

Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to improve on LR speed? I average about 2 minutes per question (and I feel like I am rushing). Although I am slow, I am mostly accurate.

I would love to hear all of your thoughts :)

Hi all,

I've been studying for a little over 7 months but I've always had trouble with Sufficient Assumption and Pseudo Sufficient Assumption questions. I get them right a lot of the time but it takes forever, and writing out the lawgic often makes it worse for me.

I don't think JYs method works for me very well. I understand the principles of lawgic but I have a lot of trouble when the logic chains they present use slightly different subjects/are not worded in the same way. It's also really easy for my brain to get it all jumbled.

Anyone else have this issue? What worked for you?

Are there other methods for approaching these outside of writing out logic chains that can work?

Hi guys,

I was just wondering how do you mark or circle the lines in RC on a tablet. When i was doing passages on paper i always circle or underline the key words i think is important so is it the same way in tablet?

Not sure how to word this but;

how do you all set up your in-out board to represent a not both rule when the rule has an and/or statement in it.

For example If A is in then B and C are out or vise versa.

If it was just A -> /B then I know I can put A/B in my out group, but I'm not sure how to represent it when there's an and involved.

Does that make sense?

I'm taking the test in September, and I'm trying to really crack down so I can break my plateau and increase to where I want to be. It always helps to talk out certain questions and discuss study methods and techniques, so if anyone is in Orange County and wants to meet up, or would be down to work on certain problem sets & then discuss, let me know!

I've found that the Problem set creator automatically gives you under 35 minutes to complete single LR section. Is there a way to change that so it's the full 35 minutes?

I am scheduled to take the November LSAT and need advice on when I should start taking timed sections. I get majority of the questions right without the time constraint but as soon as I try to take a timed section I psych myself out. Also, how many PT's should I be taking starting now up until November?

What are your strategies for fool proofing LG with the digital test? Do you still print the "bundle"/PT 1-35?

Can someone please help me see how C is correct.

My thought process was this:

P1: high atmospheric winds off the western coast of Africa -> formation of hurricanes threaten US mainland

P2: abundant rain falls in SS Africa -> hurricanes hit with particular frequency

Abundant rain -> promote the ability of the winds to form hurricanes

I did not really see the flaw, but I thought there was some kind of jump. So maybe a unstated assumption.

In another blog I read said it was a correlation/causation, but I do not see that.

The Point at Issue: Disagreement question that starts with Shannon: Any work of art...

How on earth is answer A correct?? Please help, thanks!

Admin note: edited title

Could somebody explain to me why the correct answers are correct for questions 7, 18, and 25?

Why is 7 (e) instead of (b), why is 18 (d) instead of (c), and why is 25 (b) ?

Appreciate any help, thanks

Hi! My main struggle is the reading comp section- likely because I suffer from ADHD. The syllabus appears to not have much on reading comprehension unfortunately, so I have a few questions.

thank you

Can someone explain why this answer is not D. And confirm the conclusion please. Is there a different way to explain this other than what was explained several years back. Thank you

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [first set of words]"
