Wrote this past June LSAT and scored a 145. Starting cracking down on my prep late August / Early September and scored a 158 untimed this past week. This did give me the motivational booster that made me feel like for the first time I might be able to do this thing.

Any tips for endurance? I took about an hour for each section but a lot of that was having the correct answer but sitting there wondering if it was actually right. My goal for the November test would is to score a 160 since I have a 3.9 GPA and that would put me in a good scholarship zone for most the schools I would like to attend.

Hi everyone!

I'd like to know how you all review wrong answers to avoid making them again. I'll take a PT Section/Drill, see what I got wrong, then go to the explanation videos. But my scores are staying pretty stagnant and I want to get down -6 or less.

Any advice would be welcomed on how to better my review process.

Thanks!

Hello,

I really like the platform overall, but wish I could save answer choices in folders. There's some questions I wish to come back to or want to save for specific reasons, but I only have the option of pinning them.

I would really like a way to save questions in a more specific way so I could have a folder for myself with titles like "need to re-review" or "hardest conditional reasoning."

I mark questions in a book by hand that I would like to revisit but its really annoying to keep track of it this way, and once I do return to them its annoying to find them in the system using the drilling platform.

I'm taking the November LSAT and NA and Flaw have been really giving me a hard time, especially NA. I was really good at them like a month ago but for some reason I am unable to pick the correct answer now. I've tried the Must be True trick, but end up taking out the correct answer and start negating the 2 wrong answers - which evidently don't get my anywhere. I also read the Ellen Cassidy loophole. Any tips/tricks to help? Or videos you guys recommend?

Is anyone else not able to start their October lsat because of proctor U tech difficulties? They keep telling me to come back in 30 mins, but when I do they tell me to log out again.

Any good routines to get warmed up before the test?

Thanks :)

Does the virtual tutor choose question type that you tend to get wrong or are the question types randomly chosen? I just would like to know if it is effective for drilling.

Hello all -

I'm registered to take the September and November LSAT, and with the September test in just two weeks, I'm questioning my decision to take it as I do not feel prepared - I've been studying since March, starting out with the LSAT Trainer and then focusing solely on the 7Sage curriculum starting in June. While working a full-time job, it took me much longer than I would've liked to just get through the core curriculum, and now that I'm finally at the stage of drilling and prep testing, I'm receiving PT scores below my goal (I'm anywhere from a 147-154 in the timed PT, and 155-160 in BR. If I got a 155, I wouldn't be too upset, but ideally would want something in the low 160's).

I know to jump from a 150ish average to a score in the 160's in two weeks is unrealistic, however should I still take the September LSAT if I'm not feeling prepared? I know that the rule of thumb is to wait until you feel ready/your PT scores are hitting around your goal score, and I know that's not the case for me, but I want to apply this cycle and still be competitive when it comes to scholarships/admission and don't want to rely solely on my November LSAT score now that the October registration deadline has passed.

Essentially, what do I do - take the September LSAT anyway, or withdraw and take in November and potentially December? Any and all feedback would be appreciated - I know law schools primarily look at your top score, but I've seen/heard a lot of discourse about how many times you take the test, that you shouldn't take it more than twice, etc. so if I know that I don't feel ready, I'm not sure what the best course of action is regarding taking the September test.

Thank you in advance!

Looking to find people to work with on PT review and drilling for November LSAT. Preferably evenings (full-time college student) currently testing in high 150s looking to get to mid-high 160s.

Does anyone know if I took the LSAT in Oct 2023 and I submitted a writing sample then, do I have to submit a new one everytime I retake? I retook the test last week so im wondering how it works.

TY!!

Hi all,

Any tips for Sufficient Assumption Questions? I've gone through the curriculum but this is still my biggest struggle area...

Thank you!

Hello peeps, I will be taking LSAT in January. I have been struggling with RC. I am mostly getting -16 to anywhere -20 and I am finding it difficult to improve on it. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

if each section of the lsat is 35mins, why are my prep tests 52:30 Mins?

I've heard differing things- can you take your own earplugs into the lsat testing center? Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I stated my test preferences when signing up for the test, can I change the date I change the date when I actually schedule my test? For example, if I stated I prefer Saturday, can I actually schedule Friday?

I noticed, just by fluke, a written explanation detailing why answers were wrong beneath a video explainer but I can't seem to replicate it on other questions and explanations. Is there only writing on some explanations? I prefer the writing to the video on some questions. Thanks! Example: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-130-section-4-question-16/

Hi All,

My most recent PT i got a 154 (best of all time). I'm really hoping to get into high 160s.

I am getting 6-8 wrong on LR and 10-13 wrong on RC. I've also been seeing a tutor once a week for 2 hours since the middle of September and plan to continue seeing my tutor until my test date.

I really need to improve my RC but am having a hard time improving. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve on RC in a short amount of time?

Is this score increase even possible? (positive comments only pls I do not need any negativity in my life)

I've been doing well on my PTs (in the 170+ range), but every time, i do sooo badly on the experimental section. I'm talking -6 to -9 questions wrong. Should i be concerned?? I dont even get how it's possible for me to go from -1 on one LR section to -8 on the next.

Early in the development of a new product line, the critical resource is talent. New marketing ventures require a degree of managerial skill disproportionate to their short-term revenue prospects. Usually, however, talented managers are assigned only to established high-revenue product lines and, as a result, most new marketing ventures fail. Contrary to current practice, the best managers in a company should be assigned to development projects.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the author’s argument?

A

On average, new ventures under the direction of managers at executive level survive no longer than those managed by lower-ranking managers.

B

For most established companies, the development of new product lines is a relatively small part of the company’s total expenditure.

C

The more talented a manager is, the less likely he or she is to be interested in undertaking the development of a new product line.

D

The current revenue and profitability of an established product line can be maintained even if the company’s best managers are assigned elsewhere.

E

Early short-term revenue prospects of a new product line are usually a good predictor of how successful a product line will ultimately be.

My Work:

Pre-phrase: There is not another reason why new marking ventures are failing. They are failing because they specifically do not have talented managers.

Conclusion: Contrary to current practice, the best managers in a company should be assigned to development projects.

Premise, What is the evidence to support this?:

• Early in the development of a new product line, the critical resource is talent.

• New marketing ventures require a degree of managerial skill disproportionate to their short-term revenue prospects.

• Usually, however, talented managers are assigned only to established high-revenue product lines and, as a result, most new marketing ventures fail.

Why is this argument flawed?

What if there is another reason as to why these new marketing ventures are failing?

I've read power score's explanation and understand by E is incorrect (the answer I chose) but still confused on how to approach strengthen questions. I focused on the conclusion, "Contrary to current practice, the best managers in a company should be assigned to development projects." and interpreted it as the author wants the best managers on these developmental projects. So the focus of the argument being on developmental projects. And led to my prephrase "the author assumes there is not another reason why new marking ventures are failing" and hunted for answer choices that could fix that problem. Because I thought for Strengthen questions you focus on the conclusion and fill in the gap between the conclusion and premise. So when I read answer D, "The current revenue and profitability of an established product line can be maintained even if the company’s best managers are assigned elsewhere", I thought, "isn't the author focused on success for the developmental projects and not the success of the established projects?". To me It wasn't relevant to their conclusion. Can someone please explain why this is an incorrect way of thinking? also please provide tips on how I can improve my pre-phrasing when it comes to filling gaps in the argument and looking at flaws. I appreciate any help!!

Hey!

For the life of me, I cannot understand the level 5 difficulty questions for PSA. I can get the lower and medium difficulty questions correct, but it seems like the higher difficulty just isn't clicking. Does anyone have any tips or mental strategies for how they approach difficult PSA questions? I think I'm getting lost in the answers (and I believe my most common mistake is confusing sufficiency/necessity language even though I'll have it diagrammed properly!!)

Hey guys!

Since they are getting rid of LG come August 2024, they are completely revamping the logic reasoning questions. They will be much tougher, and some of the questions will have hints of LG in them too. I just took the February 2024 lsat, and much of the Logic reasoning games were way tougher than anything I have ever experienced, in terms of LR. January 2024, and my february 2024 test takers seem to concur with this.

All of that being said, how should we go about studying for these revamped Logic reasoning questions? Does the 7sage V2 already have us covered? Does the V2 already have study materials for this evolved version of LR??

The LR question I seem to have the most trouble with are easy to moderately challenging RRE questions. Like seriously I've gotten 25/26 on a section and the only one wrong was an RRE that 95% of student got correct. This problem may itself be a paradox I need help resolving.

I'm not sure how to fix this, so I'm going to share some of my thought process and if any of you have suggestions that would be useful.

One problem I got that threw me for a loop was

Cat's spend much of their time sleeping, they seem only to awake to stretch and yawn. Yet they have strong agile musculature that most animals would have to exercise strenuously to acquire.

My first thought is that there is obviously a biological difference in cats that allows them to be muscular without exercising much.

I saw the correct answer, "Cats get ample exercise from frequent stretching." and immediately I thought this in no way addresses my problem. No matter how much exercise they're getting from stretching would anyone ever classify stretching as strenuous? Not unless they're in a yoga class. That seems to be a huge assumption. That's an equivocation, stretching does not equal strenuous and it misses my resolution that cats are biologically different.

I then didn't really like any of the answer choices, and settled on a wrong one that felt less wrong because it somewhat addressed my kind of biological developmental need idea, "Cats require strength and agility to be effective predators." and I hemmed and hawed because what if all animals require this strength and agility?

Point being is I'm trying to develop a better way to think about these that allows the correct answer to always stand out more, and am open to any suggestions if anyone has them.

Hi, so I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between pseudo sufficient assumption - find the rule, questions versus principle questions? and if you can tell me how you identify the question type from one another please??

Thankyouuu in advance!.

I have been studying since June full time and have been doing pretty well. My highest PT which was only about 3 weeks ago was a 160 which is what I am aiming to get for the real thing. However I am now seeing a huge decline in my scores and I am getting -8 and -11 on sections that I typically get -5. I am getting really stressed and discouraged considering the October test is in 2 weeks. I am also registered for November so i just don't know what I'm doing wrong and what to do about it now. Also , is it bad that I am going to take october and november back to back? Should i change my october test date to november and then take november and january instead? im getting overwhelmed.

I skip around passages from easiest to hardest. typically, at the 3rd passage I start comprehending the passage less than if I were doing this passage isolated to the rest in the form of a drill . I assume the issue is because I have trouble shifting focus from passage to passage. As a result, I find myself not being able to complete 4-6 questions because I try to keep understand the passage after the initial read to reference those questions. Does anyone have any advice to overcome this> Thanks.
