So I have found, as with many others I am sure, that time is the enemy (in general but way more so on the LSAT) When fool proofing are you guys starting out timed then just reducing the time each round, or do you begin untimed? I am never sure exactly how much time to give myself. I am not 100% on games ever but with a solid 15mins I can figure just about anything out (sometimes I still miss a question), but I know I will NEVER have that for just one game. I am not sure with what games I should be giving myself 8-10 mins, and which I should be giving myself 5...i've been thinking for fool proofing to give myself 10 mins on all to begin with, then each round of 'retesting' reducing it by two minutes? does that sound like a good idea? I really need to improve my logic games because right now I am finishing PT tests and getting usually all of the questions I FINISH right, but only actually finishing 2/4 games, which as you can imagine is killing my score.

How is answer A incorrect and E correct? First, where in the passage is E supported? I can't find it. Next, doesn't A capture not only the main point of the passage but also Goodrich's prescription in lines 40-43 and line 45? Goodrich doesn't think that common law should be looked at as a set of rules (a legal code). Also, line 45 states that common law is a text with history and tradition, and in line 46, studying common law historically is really important. How does this not capture the idea of "a relic of the history of the English people?"

I do very well on LR questions but always trip up in one of the following situations:

Anyone near the Charleston area willing to study together? I find I focus more when I'm with someone else studying together and none of my friends can help me.

I cannot seem to get above a 176 on my blind review. I am grateful that I test at around the same level as my BR (171-175) but I also recognize that I am not going to be able to get above a 175 if I am not doing so on the blind review. I do the wrong answer journals (why did I get this wrong - what was my thinking - why is the correct answer right - why didn't I think it was right - what type of mindset/strategy is necessary for me to get it right next time) and I even log trends in wrong questions. I even have a vocab list I study. I just cannot get past this plateau. Any advice would be helpful

Does anyone know how to access the giant web outline with all the components that the guy uses through the LR sections it looks like a massive web I would really like access to it to see all the essentials components outlined on a visual field.

Just kills me on the inside when I can rock the tough ones and I miss the super easy ones according to 7Sage :)

When I am doing blind review, I perform 300% better - an ACTUAL stat I am tracking with LR.

Something about the clock is truly impacting my judgement on these questions.

When I do timed sections of RC - I can get two passages with 100% accuracy on the questions. Then I have no time to do the other passages.

This is becoming a major point of contention for me in my study journey. HELP!!!

Hi, can anyone elaborate on the math that J.Y. does in this problem in the explanation video? I’m still confused on how he got 200 for one aspect of it.

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

I got this one right in BR, but would like an explanation as to why it is the best answer.

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

I originally put A, I now understand why A is wrong. But I don't really understand why D is the right answer choice and what it means by "supposed class allegiance"

Why C is the the right choice?

Context: Some researchers claim that people tend to gesture less when they articulate what would typically be regarded as abstract rather than physical concepts.

Premise: Because some people perceived words like xxx, as XXX....

Conclusion: To point out that such a correlation is far from universal is insufficient reason to reject the researcher's claim.

where is the reconciliation?

From my understanding, RC seems to be subjective. I'm still unsure on which approach to use as all of them give me similar results.

How do you all approach RC? Suppose you have a passage in front of you. Do you refer back to the passage? How long do you usually spend on reading the passage? Do you notate at all? What were your RC scores when you first started and what are they now?

Thanks!

I took the June 2021 test and the reading and logical reasoning didn't seem too bad, but the logic games seemed very difficult to me. I'm taking August test next week so overall how do you guys predict the games section on the August 2021 will be in comparison? What about the entire test in general? Also the curve for the June test lowered a lot of people's scores, do you guys think the curve will be more in our favor for August?

I am genuinely so lost when it comes to this section, and I don't really want to move on until I am sure I have a better grasp. Can anyone help me when it comes to what these questions are even asking? I know it is a weakening question, but how do I differentiate a causation question from a basic weakening question. And once I figure out it is a causation question, how do I go about solving it????

I did PT 80 this past weekend and I began reviewing it yesterday. Game 4 was crazy confusing was it just me? also the 3rd game wasn't difficult but it was taking very long. i missed 5 when i'm typically -0-2 on LG

I am new to 7sage, day 3, and have a few questions. I have subscribed to the live plan and wanted to know is there a way to access the chat of a recorded session? I attended the how to prep for the LSAT session over the weekend, is there anyway to access the links that were shared in that chat? Also, for the Study roadmap, the suggestions while completing the core curriculum, are to do the flashcards. Are those a set of flashcards that we make or is there a link for them?

Hey I'm working on PrepTest 33 S4 G1Q5 (among others) and I keep having issues with complicated question formats.

The general version of the wording that most trips me up is "Which of the following must be true EXCEPT" and an answers like "_____ is not 4". Individually I can deal with these, like when I have an "EXCEPT" question or negative answer choice, but together I keep going in circles.

Are there any steps I should be during to answer these questions without spending 3+ min on them?

For reference, I get -2ish on LG so I am focused on fine tuning, so skipping is something I want to avoid at this point..

Thank you in advance!

This episode is all about getting intentional with your LSAT prep. We talk about how to stop spinning your wheels, set realistic goals, and create a study plan built on small, repeatable wins. We also go over concrete examples of how to apply this approach to tricky areas like conditional logic and reading comprehension. Whether you’re weeks in or just getting started, we’ve got tips to help you study with purpose and get results.

Having trouble identifying how assumptions play a role in LR stim's. I keep hearing 'inferences' and 'assumptions', pseudo-sufficient, sufficient, necessary in the content, but I am having trouble distinguishing the authors' vs my own assumptions (reasonably) to ID the correct answer choice. How do you go about ID'ing those inferences and/or assumptions to evaluate an argument's strength?? Any clarity is major appreciated!!!

I take the LSAT on paper instead of on a computer. I would like to be able to print sections and PT's from 7Sage so I am practicing the same format as the real test. How can I print from the new 7Sage?

I think I understand why D is the correct answer choice. However, I am curious as to what you guys think is the best way to approach this question? Clearly using an in an out game board is the best choice. However, this question was hard for me to answer quickly just because it felt like a question that required a lot of trial and error, which obviously didn't work out (especially time wise).

I have consistently been getting -8/-9 on every timed LR section that I do for the past month. When I BR, I tend to get -6/-7. I have tried drilling harder question types, but nothing seems to be sticking. Should I go back to the core curriculum? I read through all of Loophole too. Taking the Nov LSAT and frustrated I can't seem to master LR.
