I would like to take one timed LR section (~25 questions in 35 minutes). Do I just take one section from one of the full PTs or create a drill set? Is there another way of doing this I am missing?
Also: While taking a PT, how do I flag questions I want to review in BR?
Is the difference between the two that one has "if true" and the other doesn't?
I'm running into a situation where I get most of the questions that require formal logic right, but only after taking a good 5 minutes mapping out the logic in the stimulus. If I don't go through this exercise I need to guess the answer most of the time (unless the logic is as straightforward as a couple simple if/then statements). I will obviously not have the luxury of all of this time on the test. Any tips on how to get faster at mapping out formal logic?

There's a lot of information going around about the LSAT...so much that it's often hard to tell what's true and what's not. Fortunately, ZeSean and Henry are here this week to separate fact from fiction and break down some of the commonly-heard LSAT myths. Tune in to this episode for some LSAT myth-busting!
Just took a practice test and proceeded to the Blind Review after.
How representative is the score of the Blind Review to my overall success of taking that PT? Should I expect growth to that score?
Taking test in August. At this point, taking a prep test every week. I want to take the ones that are most accurate to test day. Are these the most recent ones? in the 150s range?
Hey yall, just subscribed to 7sage. I wanted to do a practise section with a show answer option to warm up, but this function is unavailable. I understand that this is because of the emphasis on the blind review model which i think will be beneficial. I havent been able to find a proper explanation of how blind review works on this site tho. where might I find an explanation? are you able to do blind review for practise sections or just full tests? is there an option to toggle it? how does BR work? does it automatically take you to a blind review part following the section?
I'm trying to work now to get my RC score down to the -5 range, and I'm drilling a lot on the passage types im bad at, and most of the hard or hardest passages I'll get 2 or 3 wrong, and on the easier ones, 1 or 2 maybe, if I get a good selection of passages its likely I;ll be in that -6 range. EXCEPT for spotlight passages; something about spotlight passages just doesn't click for me, there's a majority 1 star or 2 star passages where I'll get straight up 4 out of 6 or 7 ACs wrong, and I don't understand why, does anyone have any tips? I'm confident my LR will be at -4/5 for August/Sept LSAT, but if I can't get my RC out of the -7/8 zone I won't be able to get a 165
I keep having this issue where my energy and focus plummet after around the 2nd section of a practice test. How can I keep energized and focused while taking PTs?
Hi Everyone,
Would someone be so kind to advise what best worked for them on studying for the LSATs, I wrote the test once and did not like my score therefore I’m going to be rewriting the LSATs
The question below made me confused because I thought the conditional statement "the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands" was a fact because there is a Sufficent Condition that triggers a Necessary Condition there for it must be true. So when I learned A was wrong, I was confused because the conditional statement created a "rule." So, I need help. How do you disprove a conditional?
THE QUESTION:
Recently discovered prehistoric rock paintings on small islands off the northern coast of Norway have archaeologists puzzled. The predominant theory about northern cave paintings was that they were largely a description of the current diets of the painters. This theory cannot be right, because the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands, and there are no paintings that unambiguously depict such creatures.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument against the predominant theory about northern cave paintings EXCEPT:
A. Once on these islands, the cave painters hunted and ate land animals.
B. Parts of the cave paintings on the islands did not survive the centuries.
C. The cave paintings that were discovered on the islands depicted many land animals.
D. Those who did the cave paintings that were discovered on the islands had unusually advanced techniques of preserving meats.
E. The cave paintings on the islands were done by the original inhabitants of the islands who ate the meat of land animals
Salespeople always steer customers toward products from which they make their highest commissions, and all salespeople in major health stores work on commission. Hence, when you buy vitamin supplements in a major health store, you can be sure that the claims the salespeople make about the quality of the products are inaccurate.
Obviously this is an ad hominem. I know that. But we are taught to apply a two step test: descriptively accurate and does it describe the flaw.
the right answer choice?
infers that some claims are inaccurate solely on the basis of the source of those claims
translation: 1-99 of claims are inaccurate, solely on the basis of the source of those claims.
how is this descriptively accurate? the argument assumes because sales people have specific incentives, salespeople are not telling the full truth.
the argument never says SOME claims are inaccurate, instead it says THE CLAIMS ARE INACCURATE. how the hell am I supposed to see the invisible some? Also the argument never says they are liars because they are sales people, it says it's because they work on commission.
someone tell me how I am wrong. I feel like im getting punished for being detail oriented.
Hi everyone.
I am taking the September 2025 LSAT. I took the January one after studying for about 6 months, but would like to raise my score. I took a bit of a hiatus on studying until April/May due to work. I've been trying to get back into my studying groove but I am having trouble on where to start, since I know the basics but kind of forget some things as well. Any advice on how to be productively studying?

Hey everyone,
Im feeling a bit lost. I've been studying the lsat for a while now, and no matter how many attempts I always seem to get around 10 questions incorrect in a section of 25 questions (both timed and untimed). Does anyone have advice on how to break out of this plateau?
Thank you in advance!
I am writing with extra time, is there a way to set my 7sage to allow me the extra time on practice drills and tests?
hi 7sage admin! I went to create a custom drill set that I could then share with a study group but when I share with them the drill set with the custom tags it randomizes the questions. Is there a way to create a custom drill set that locks the questions in for a study group so we can complete the same questions and discuss later?
How do you go about reviewing your wrong answer journal? When do you return to those questions? I'm trying to keep up with it, but I'm not sure what I'm really supposed to do with them when after I've moved on. There are so many more drills, lessons, tests, and questions to do, when do you take time to go back through them?
the impression I get is that the majority of people struggle more with RC than LR, but I'm the opposite. I wanted to know if anyone who is in a similar situation had any tips? I often find the advice of "just drill" to be not super helpful because 1) I'm already doing that and am looking for more specific guidance and 2) it often comes from a person who doesn't struggle with LR in the same way so just drilling might be a good enough solution for them. Thoughts?

In this episode, Nicole and ZeSean take a look at a breakdown of each LR question type's frequency in a given section, providing insights on the ways this information might impact the way you study for the LSAT. Join us this week for a fun episode looking at the numbers!
I'm new to the Discussion portion of the site, so apologies if this should be posted elsewhere. I'm wondering if there's a support group for those of us applying for test accommodations. I'm the process of requesting physical accommodations + extra time and would be interested in others' experience. Thanks in advance.
I’m not sure why I do this but I like to take PT and only finish one section to see my score. Is there a way to delete PR data since I have a few sections saying I got -25 -26 and it messes up my data. I’m not sure how to do it on the new website
The title says it all!
I'm mainly looking for people in the 160-170 range.
I have an official 158 on record already, and I'm hoping to get a 165 at minimum.
I've had a few tutors in the past, and they didn't help me too much. I haven't tried a study group before.
If you have tutor suggestions, feel free to drop them, too!
Just a few weeks ago, I was seeing my RC score improving. I was at about -6 or -7, which definitely was an improvement for me as RC was something I was scared of. However, as of late, I am consistently getting -10 on my practice tests and full section RC practices. I am looking for any tips to resolve this, or even hypotheses as to why this may be happening. I am taking the August LSAT and really want to land in the 160's, but this is hindering my process and making me nervous. Thank you!
