Discouraged

I have been studying the 7sage curriculum since January and just took a second prep test after my diagnostic since January and my score only went up by 2 points is this normal idk what to do and I am taking my LSAT in August. I feel let down and as if I wasted my time.

Basically what title says! I know I most likely want to register for the August test and since registration just opened a day ago I was wondering what the pros/cons are to registering early. I know when it opens up a couple weeks before test day really matters for picking time slots just didn't know the difference between if I register for the test now vs. in July or something lol. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I took the LSAT in April and am now studying again for the June. I only need a few more points to get up to my goal score of 168, but I have been taking some sections in the PT80s and am feeling like I am getting worse. LR used to be okay for me (average -5ish) and with these particular PTs the questions I have missed have been much higher.

I'm not sure if this is some weird dip in my studying, or if this is just a result of the 80s LR being really weird. I would really appreciate some insight if anyone else is seeing this or if it is just a me problem. And if it is just a me problem, how others have overcome a dip in between tests. Thanks!

I recently took a cold diagnostic (I took the LSAT cold in Summar of '23... big mistake) without the LG section using the new 4-section format for this August. Scored a 171 timed, 172 BR. Is it worth it to go through the syllabus, or should I just spend the whole summer grinding out PT's and BRing? I'm thinking my time might be better spent that way, since the syllabus will likely cover a lot of stuff I've already got a grasp on.

PT S2 Q23, Passage 4

This passage talks about the baroque period and im unsure why the answer is guiding instead of compelling. There was no explanation available. It asks you to identify the meaning of the word directive. I feel like the passage implies that it is more compelling and forceful than the word guiding.

Picking a Test Day

Hi everyone! I am taking the June 2024 LSAT and am registered to take it in person at a testing center. The registration for choosing the day you take the test opens tomorrow for the Wednesday and Thursday test days and the day after for Friday and Saturday test days. Is there an advantage to choosing a certain day of the week? I had been planning on taking it on Saturday, June 8th because that works best with my schedule but wasn't sure if there is an advantage to taking it on one of the earlier days instead. Thanks in advance for any advice and insight on this!

Hello all,

I want to type out notes for questions while taking the logical reasoning section. However, I do not see an option to type out notes on 7Sage when taking a test test. My questions:

  • Is there a way to type notes on LR section on 7sage?
  • On the actual LSAT is there a way to type notes for sections (specifically LR)?
  • Is scratch paper allowed for the actual LSAT test?
  • Thank you all!

    Sincerely,

    Stressed New LSAT Studier

    I know the correct answer is E, however I am stuck at how C is not the correct answer even after watching the

    Johnson is not a commercial raspberry grower AND he got a plant that carried a virus. We know that these two qualities (plant with virus and non-commercial growers) are the complete opposite of the type of business MOST large nurseries do. So, would that not make it probable that Wally's is not a large nursery because the type of customer and plant received by Johnson is the complete opposite of what MOST large nurseries offer?

    Is this a case of C not necessarily being incorrect, but E is just a better answer?

    Hopefully that makes sense and thank you for any help

    PrepTest C - Section 3 - Question 08

    I am confused as to why the answer is A and not C.

    In the conclusion:

    "But this cannot be so, for unless some uses of words are literal, there can be no nonliteral uses of any words."

    is the first part:

    "for unless some uses of words are literal"

    a part of the premise?

    Hi Everyone,

    I just did question 18 in Section 2 of PT 77 and I am confused by the language in answer choice D. It says "fails to exclude the possibility that there might be legitimate evidence motivating those who reject Shakespeare's authorship". The fails to exclude part threw me off and I was hoping someone could better explain that to me. Thanks!

    Hi,

    This is a question about an answer choice like that of PT62 S2 Q20.

    It's: The younger a universe is, the brighter the stars are.

    Do these relationships work similarly like conditionals, in that only after concluding that the universe is younger, we can say the brighter its stars are?

    i.e. you can't see a situation that the stars are brighter, therefore conclude that the universe is younger with this type of relationship?

    Thank you.

    Logical Reasoning Rut

    These logical reasoning questions make me feel so stupid! It makes so much sense afterwards but not in the moment. I don't know how i'm going to get a strategy down that will make me see this in the moment and before I make the mistake. I need a foolproof strategy for this! Anyone got any tips or methods they've found helpful? Please message me! I'd love to bounce ideas off of one another for LR and become study buddies.

    Logic Games after June Exam

    i'm curious if you could still actually study and practice logic games even after they remove this section from the test. i find learning and practicing these problems are very beneficial in developing analytical skills for law and other aspects of life. i'm not very good at these under time pressure but appreciate the challenge and feel good about showing improvement in my practice scores.

    Help!!

    Hi everyone. I have been studying for the lsat for more than 2 1/2 years now. My highest score was a 175 and I am usually scoring between 165-169. I took the April Lsat and scored a 159 :(. I don't know where to go from here now. Im really solid in LR and LG, but Reading Comp kills my score, consistently getting -7. Can anyone help me, or is anyone interested in being a study buddy?

    PT47.S1.Q2 - Disagreement

    I just finished this test and spent a lot of time on this question. B seems like the obvious correct answer at first (and is the correct answer), but the argument about efforts being wasted on protecting endangered species' NATURAL habitats is, in my opinion, unaffected by the creation of an animal refuge. The establishment of an animal refuge seems to me like an obviously distinct effort than one that is protecting a natural habitat. By it needing to be established and the word "refuge", it seems artificial by definition.

    Can someone help me understand this?
