So the Foundation course in core curriculum is "Let's Dive In", "Arguments" and "Grammar" etc.

They contained number of hours required and finished.

After finishing them the hours disappear. I wanted to look at the predicted hours by 7sage and compare it with my own progress to gauge a better understanding of how long it would take to complete a section. Appreciate any help.

I am a bit confused on doing my blind review as I do the "You Try"s throughout the curriculum on the new site. It was a visible option on the previous site, and you had to certify you did the blind review before obtaining your results, but I do not see that option on the new site. However, when I press submit, it says I did not do the blind review. Am I missing the option to do so somewhere?

How do I get better at reading and understanding arguments faster?

I've been noticing a consistent problem during my LR practice. I usually am able to narrow the answer choices down to two, but I end up picking the wrong one. It's frustrating because I feel like I have that foundation to rule out the clearly wrong options, but I just can't seem to choose the correct one between the final two.

Has anyone else struggled with this? What strategies helped you and is there a way to train this skill specifically?

Any advice, drills, or thought processes you used would be SO SUPER appreciated!

Do you try to minimize subvocalization (hearing each word in your head) when reading RC passages? Why/why not?

Here’s a Q&A for you.

How can I find the old (classic) site?

Just type classic.7sage.com into your browser instead of 7sage.com. Note the “classic” at the front of the url.

How long will the classic site continue to work?

We plan to maintain the Classic site until at least 2026.

What’s the difference between the old site and the new site?

You're here, aren't you? Click around and find out! The headline is that the new site has a cleaner design, more explanations, better analytics, a ton of new features, and countless small improvements to help you reach your goal score faster. 

Can I transfer my subscription on the classic site to this site?

Yes! Head on over to our billing page:  https://7sage.com/users/settings/billing. If you see a button to transfer your subscription, click it! If you see a button to reach out to student service… do that! ( We can't auto-transfer all subscriptions.)

If I transfer my subscription to this site, will I still have access to the classic site?

Yes! You will still have access to the classic site until you stop subscribing or until the end of 2025—whichever comes sooner.

Can you transfer my data (analytics, etc.) from the old site to this one?

Not yet, but we're working on it. The most important data is PrepTest data,  and you can already manually import those to new 7Sage. It takes about 4 minutes per manual PT import. Go here:

https://7sage.com/users/settings/practice/import/manual

In approximately 4-6 weeks (hoping for 4!), I expect that we'll have built a way to automatically import 3-digit PrepTest data from classic to new 7Sage. 

In another 4-6 weeks, we should have a way to automatic import of 3-digit drilling data from classic to new 7Sage.

Should I switch to this site?

If you’re just starting out or if you don’t have a lot of analytics on the old site, yes, you should definitely switch to this site.

If you have a ton of analytics on the classic site—say, more than two PrepTests worth, or more than 40 drills—you might want to stick to the classic site.

I take my LSAT next week, and I am in the low 160s at the moment. The literal only things on logical reasoning that is keeping me down are the conditional and causal reasoning questions. Are there any specific lessons from the syllabus that anyone found really, really helped with these? I know I could just rewatch all of them but due to my limited time I want to make sure I'm really prioritizing what matters here. Thanks! Good luck everyone

I’m deep into the PT and drilling phase of my LSAT prep and have hit a wall trying to navigate the tag system in 7Sage’s analytics. Is there a centralized resource that explains each tag and links to the corresponding lesson or video for review?

I came across Albert Gauthier’s July 2024 blog post titled "New LR Tags in 7Sage," which was super helpful, but it only covers the new LR tags and doesn’t include links to explanation videos for most sections.

Right now, I’m working through my high-priority areas, but I’m getting increasingly frustrated trying to figure out what each tag even means and what lessons I should revisit.

Does a full tag reference guide exist anywhere on 7Sage? If so, where can I find it? If not, can this be something the 7Sage team prioritizes adding? It feels like such a crucial tool to help make targeted studying easier and make the analytics section more worthwhile.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone want to meet on zoom 5:30-7:30 PST, mondays, weds, fridays to work on sections/passages and discuss answers/methods? mostly looking to do problems on my own and then discuss. aiming to take the test in sept/oct

Can correct answer choices for necessary questions be perspective claims? I remember the lessons mentioning that they often aren't but I wanted to clarify!

Any insight is appreciated, thank you!

One of my favorite parts of this course was the opening statement about the mechanisms that ensure the test will have good questions, and we should therefore be less concerned about arbitrary distinctions. You say that there is a large board, review processes internally, and there are incentives for test takers to appeal problems since it will improve their scores.

I take issue with the last premise though. I took the LSAT a few months ago and had two really large issues with the administration.

For one thing it started 2-3 hours late and was administered terribly with lots of loud sounds and talking. I wrote a complaint to the LSAC about this and nothing happened. This hurts my confidence in the fairness of the test.

Second, I had a strong suspicion about one of the questions being incorrectly written, but since the questions aren't posted anywhere and there seemingly isn't a way to appeal for adjustments, I have a strong suspicion JY was wrong in his initial course. I do not think there is any way to appeal questions, which is such a shame since this is such an important test and it is developed by a private company with zero oversight and a profit incentive to crank questions out as cheaply as possible.

Basically, I bought 7Sage after the June LSAT to try to score 170+ in Sept. I haven't really seen any score increases and while I understand that improvement gets harder the higher the score is, I'm a bit lost in terms of what else I could do beyond just drill more. At this point I'm just hoping to get lucky since my June score was in the 170 range they give lol. Any advice on how to break this wall?

Hi, is there any way to download practice test score reports with the new 7sage? I believe the classic 7sage allowed this but I'm not seeing the option to do so with the new one. Thank you.

I've done a few drills on other platforms before coming over to 7Sage and I was wondering if there was a way for me to view 7Sage's explanation of the question without having taken the test or PT? Is there a page that outlines all of their explanations of some sort? I feel like I remember something similar being on the old website, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for the help!

I tend to have a very high accuracy rate on main point questions whereas I often miss primary purpose ones. Even on the same stimulus, I can get the main point correct and the primary purpose wrong. I feel like the two question types test similar skills, so I'm not really sure why this keeps happening. Any insight would be much appreciated :)

I'm getting all kinds of mixed information when I look this up, so I apologize if this is common knowledge I'm just missing somewhere. But when you take the test in-person, does section 2 start immediately after section 1? And the same for 3 and 4?

Basically, do you get 60 seconds to reset or do you just roll immediately through?

This makes a huge difference in how I prepare...

I felt like I did much better with RC before starting to train. My diagnostic in RC was -5 vs. between -8 and -10 now.

My LR is, on the whole, much much better than before I started studying, but my gains in score have been marginal because my RC has dropped off.

In studying for LR, I realized that reading/translation/repetition seemed to help me the most, and I'd love to tackle a similar strategy for RC, but just doing RC passages over and over with Low Res summaries isn't helping me a whole lot. Still missing one or two per passage that have to do with something super specific I glazed over on my readthrough. I feel like I struggle with balancing reading for detail and reading for structure/concepts -- it's often I get one or the other on a first read (all I have time for obviously).

Any tips for making RC improvement more manageable?

Hi all! I wanted to come on and share that my LSAT journey has not been linear but have been seeing slow improvement. For context, I took the Nov. 2023 LSAT with wishy-washy studying to get a 148. I cancelled that score and have been on and off studying since then. I have finally gotten up to the 160s with average PTs being in the high 150s. While I do not want to discount the progress I have made, I cannot discard the fact that my progress has been slow and slower than I would like it to be. I know this is a hard test, but I know that it can be learnable. I am going average -4 on LR and average -10 on RC. I just recently got to a 160 on my recent PT last week. LR feels naturally more intuitive compared to RC, as I find myself running out of time on RC. While, I recognize the patterns in RC and consider myself good at the big picture questions, I struggle with implied and detail oriented questions. I guess I am just looking for advice on how people have improved from this place and what helped them quickly get out of this slump. As my goal would be to hit the 170s in the next few months. Happy to share more info., if its helpful. Thanks!

It is exactly one week until I take my LSAT, any tips on how to go confidently into the exam? I am doing well but I am not sure what to do with this last week, keep studying? Chillax?

I know it's common for beginners to (mistakenly) think there are multiple correct answers to a question, but I just can't see how there's only one correct answer in this case. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Question: PT114.S2.Q9

Complete stimulus: During the three months before and the three months after a major earthquake in California, students at a college there happened to be keeping a record of their dreams. After experiencing the earthquake, half of the students reported dreaming about earthquakes. During the same six months, a group of college students in Ontario who had never experienced an earthquake also recorded their dreams. Almost none of the students in Ontario reported dreaming about earthquakes. So it is clear that experiencing an earthquake can cause people to dream about earthquakes.

Complete question stem: Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

Complete answer choices:

A: Before the California earthquake, no more of the students in California than of those in Ontario recorded dreams about earthquakes.

B: The students in California were members of a class studying dreams and dream recollection, but the students in Ontario were not.

C: Before they started keeping records of their dreams, many of the students in California had experienced at least one earthquake.

D: The students in Ontario reported having more dreams overall, per student, than the students in California did.

E: The students in Ontario who reported having dreams about earthquakes recorded the dreams as having occurred after the California earthquake.

Answer choice A is marked as correct, and answer choice D is marked as incorrect.

My reasoning: Answer choice D strengthens the argument by eliminating an alternate explanation: California students had more dreams about earthquakes because they have more dreams in general. Therefore, an earthquake occurring in California would not be the reason why half of the students reported having dreams about earthquakes.

Thanks for the help!

So I noticed I am starting to do well on the first two passages when a do a 4 passage 35 min RC drill (trying to get used to reading without fatiguing so it doesn't happen test day), but towards the middle passage i feel like i lose all comprehension of what I'm reading or it'll take me tons of time and then I still get them wrong. I have dyslexia (unfortunately I wasn't able to get a updated diagnosis before registration deadline), so reading typically takes me longer as is and burns me out quicker. If any of y'all have any tips or ideas to help me not bomb the middle-end of the RC sections I would be very grateful. Note- im averaging around 154, highest timed score 158, and blind reviewing around high 150s low 160s

I have almost completed the Foundations Section and wonder when is a good time to start taking practice tests. I have heard from numerous people that regularly taking practice tests is what really helped them improve their score. Any advice on when to start taking them, how often, etc. is much appreciated!

Pretty much understand everything except one thing, please help me 7Sage wizards

Most opera singers who add demanding roles to their repertoires at a young age lose their voices early. It has been said that this is because their voices have not yet matured and hence lack the power for such roles. But young singers with great vocal power are the most likely to ruin their voices. The real problem is that most young singers lack the technical training necessary to avoid straining their vocal cords—especially when using their full vocal strength. Such misuse of the cords inevitably leads to a truncated singing career.

E)Most young opera singers who sing demanding roles strain their vocal cords

Young Opera singers -most> loose voice

Young Opera singers -most> lack tech training to avoid loosing voice

Isn’t the valid inference

A most B

A most C

___

A some C ???

I thought A most C was invalid…..

I never have enough time to complete the last passage during a PT. I am considering working from the last passage to the first, since I am noticing that they are a bit easier for me. Is this worth doing? Has anyone tried this before? I am taking the August LSAT, so looking for any last minute tips I should implement.

Dear Tutor, I am a little confused about when to move a "no" or negative indicator to the left in order to apply the "negate the necessary" rule. For example, I understand that " No Cats are Dogs can be diagrammed as such Cat-->/Dog Or Dog-->/Cat. However, what if there is a No on both sides? For example, Prep Test 111 Section 3 Question 18 Answer Choice: (B) reads "No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience if the audience will not be treated to a good show." I almost diagrammed this by moving the "no" in the sufficient condition to the necessary condition, which would have made B correct. So, if there is a "no" or negative indicator on both sides, it is best to leave it be?
