I usually got -4 to -6 on RC, and -4 on the rest of other sections on PTs. I have significant improvement on the other two sections following blind review method, but Reading Comprehension is the section that I found no improvement after 2 months of full-time studying.

I saw people mentioned to figure out the relationships between various subjects and opinions and to anticipate the answer after reading question stems, but I found it very difficult to do so. I usually can get a fair understanding on the structure and any shifts from paragraph to paragraph, but I found it insufficient to answer inference questions.

There are usually at least 3-4 different subjects and opinions in a passage. The relationships among them are extremely difficult to keep track of. For difficult passages, the subject matters and different people's opinions themselves are difficult to understand, not to mention handling their relationships with each other. For example, in a passage (PT30, S3, P2) there is a debate going on about Greek Dramas tragedies written by an author X, and 3 scholars give different and distinct opinions on what lead to the consequences. When I read, I understood that there was a debate going on, and three scholars give different opinions about the same subject, which is Greek drama tragedies. But one question asks what is the difference between the opinions of scholar No2 and scholar No3, I can't summarize the difference, even after going back to read it one more time.

Convoluted answer choices add another layer of difficulties to the questions, which sometimes give me trouble, since I am not a native English speaker. But this problem is a minor one compared to the former. These all give rise to trouble when doing inference questions.

Does anyone have experience on improving skills on handling relationships and make inference upfront? Or any general advice on how to deal with these problems? And if any of you know a tutor can help with these issues, tell me please. I'd really appreciate your help, and thank you in advance.

Good luck studying, everyone!

Hi everyone, I tend to see a trend in my PTs that I miss most of my questions in LR between Q15 and on. I wanted to starting drilling this level of difficulty questions.

Do you guys think drilling "medium and harder" difficulty in LR would be the equivalent difficulty of questions 15 and on?

Thank you in advance (:

Hey, guys. I think I got this one but I'm seeking clarification. I was between A, B and C and chose A. I think C is correct because a "property owner" is defined in lines 15-21 and A and B are incorrect because they describe how one can obtain ownership. A and B do not specifically discuss a "property owner." Also, A and B both seemed right to me because they were both similar and mentioned in the 4th paragraph. Would you guys say that this should've been an indication that they were both wrong? I had a hunch and had I gone with it I would've chosen C though not with confidence. Am I close?

Hi Guys,

I have noted a direct contrast between principle and MBT.

Take these 2 questions for example:

MBT: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-34-section-2-question-23/

Principle: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-25-section-2-question-11/

In the former one, anything that can be pushed out works as long as it abides to the principle within the stimulus.

However, of the latter one, when you are asked to draw a principle from the question, the right answer is best to cover 100% of the text. As by this logic, answer choice B is inferior than D solely because B only covered 50% of the argument while D covered all of them.

Hey everyone,

I started studying around 2 months ago after my first failed attempt in 2018 (diagnostic in the low 140s) and I'm currently scoring in the mid 150s (154-157) and my BR has ranged from 165-170. My accuracy is decent in LR and LG (often missing around 4-5 questions due to just lack of time)- however my performance in RC is highly responsible for my low score.

I've tried doing sections untimed to improve my comprehension (which lands me at around -4 or -5) however that takes me around 12+ minutes just to read and answer questions per passage. I've only recently joined 7Sage (previously used Manhattan prep's method for RC) and in an effort to avoid confusing myself with too many strategies I've avoided the whole memory method and low-res summaries.

Anyone know where I can go from here? Timing is a huge issue!! Looking to take the oct-nov lsat (preferably in the 162ish range) but I'm open to pushing it off until January as well.

Thanks so much in advance ☺️

Had trouble with this question and saw a lot of students also pick the wrong answer I chose. Since there's no explanation video thought Id give it a shot at explaining for future students.

So the thing to keep an eye on within the stimulus is the fact it tell us that what decreased was the (number of bass caught by anglers!) meaning not the number of bass. Now that we know this we attack the answers and look and eliminate all the answers that might explain why the (number of bass caught by anglers!) decreased.

A. Well l if the waste is attracting the bass predators then there's sequentially less bass and less caught by anglers

B. If the water is colder and the bass are leaving then that explains why they are catching less bass

*C. Doesn't say anything about bass just says more anglers are showing up, if more anglers are showing up then the (number of bass caught by anglers) should actually increase not decrease.

D. Tricky- This actually is a valid reason though, if there is less anglers in the river then that explains why the number of bass caught by anglers decreased.

E. Well if the vegetation the bass feed on was destroyed they probably left and thus it can explain why the number of bass caught by anglers decreased.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Just another thank you for JY and the 7Sage team. I didn't have the money or in person time to pay for a lot of the other courses, but signed up for 7Sage because I had heard JY had a great approach for high scorers. God, that was the best decision I ever made. I only had 8 weeks to study, but in those weeks, this site was my bible, and JY, you led me to the promised land. Can't thank you enough!

Hi everyone- can anyone point me to the hardest LR questions that they have ever seen implicating numbers, percentages, market share etc.?

Feeling a headache today, which is reminding me to send positive vibes and wish calming, clear thoughts to everyone. Let's remember to lighten the study load this week, breathe, slow down and stay confident. We are superstars, and we're going to knock it out of the park!

Does anyone think the January Lsat will be flex or in person ?

I created a few Logical Reasoning practice sets for myself in Problem Sets but am finding that Reading Comp questions are mixed in....? Why are there questions that involve long articles and ask for the main purpose? I have never come across RC in my logical reasoning drills. The questions ask about the author and the passage and are not classified logical reasoning questions. #help

Hi 7Sagers

I'm planning on taking the October Flex but am struggling to improve my LG score. Currently I'm averaging around between 3 to 5 incorrect, and am hoping to reduce that to 0-2 by October, but not sure if that's being unrealistic :( I'm feeling a bit discouraged after taking PT 57 (the section with the infamous dinosaur game). I feel like my biggest struggles are finishing the section on time, not being able to draw my game board and draw global inferences as efficiently/quickly, and not knowing when to decisively split my game board.

I've already taken full practice tests: PT 1-20, and a couple from the 20/30/40/50's range and am planning on taking several more from those ranges and from the 60/70/80's range before I take the October test. I know it may not be ideal to take a few from each range instead of solving them chronologically, but I've heard it's good to practice with recent tests as well and I simply don't have the time to solve everything before the October test. I'm currently drilling PT 21-35 (games only), foolproofing those, and foolproofing all the LG sections from the full PTs I'm taking, but it's frustrating to see close to no improvement.

Do you guys have any advice on how to improve LG score in a month, and if this is even the most efficient method? Not sure if I should focus on solving more games before test day (even if that means I have less time to foolproof and review previously solved games), or focus on perfecting the ones I've solved before (even if that means I have less time to solve games either in drills or in full PTs).

Also, is it worthwhile to foolproof games based on game type (so today I foolproof Pure Sequencing games only, tomorrow Grouping In+Out only, etc.)

Open to hearing any of your guys' thoughts - Thank you so much!

I have spent significant time trying to understand what the claim the correct answer (D) is referring to?

Title.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

I do not understand why 7Sage teaches "except" as a biconditional. It makes more sense to me to see it as a simple Group 3, where you just negate the sufficient. I've seen other programs teach it this way, too. I'm not trying to get into a comparison argument. I just want to know which is going to be useful to me on the LSAT. Here's an example: "I go to the store, except on Monday." It seems that the aforementioned sentence is the same as "I go to the store, unless it's Monday."

Is there a way to know (after initial setup) whether or not there are any apparent inferences that can be made? I often have trouble knowing if I should spend time searching for inferences or if it'd be better to just work through the questions

7 Sage Sentence:

Practice IS REQUIRED to be a skilled artist.

SA—->P

Loophole Sentence:

One MAN in his time IS REQUIRED to play many parts.

M—->PMPS

Commentary:

I assumed “MAN IS required” to be the necessary and “play man sports” to be the sufficient since MAN IS THE REQUIREMENT?!? (PMS —>M) however, regurgitating that info out loud to myself, I realized within context it didnt make sense; but when does the LSAT ever make an effort to make sense 🤷🏽‍♀️🥴😭...why is that Both statements above mirror one another in terms of terminology but differ in context ?!?! #HELPPP

7Sage sentence:

Practice IS REQUIRED to be a skilled artist.

Answer: SA—->P

loophole sentence:

One man in his time IS REQUIRED to play many parts.

M——>> PMS

COMMENTARY:

I am confused I assumed “MAN IS required” to be the necessary and “play man sports” to be the sufficient. (PMS —>M) however, regurgitating that info out loud to myself, I realized within context it didnt make sense; but when does the LSAT ever make an effort to make sense 🤷🏽‍♀️🥴I guess I’m curious to know why both sentences aren’t diagramed the same when their both in the same format ?!?!😭... #HELPPP

Has anyone taken this section before?

Luckily, I've been narrowed my LR score down to -2 ~ -3 per section in the 60s.

And I even had -1 on the first LR section of PT 67. But, I somehow got close to -10 or so on the second part of the LR.

This section doesn't really have many 5 star difficulty questions, but I found this section incredibily difficult.

Did anyone have similiar experience? How was your experience?

Thanks in advance! : )

N/A

Would love to hear where you took it and how the experience went! Would it be okay to register for a test center in one country and take the Flex online in another country?

Thanks in advance!
