Analogy questions are the one type of questions I have routinely had no idea how to approach. Even when I read the explanation I often am still confused on how you're supposed to arrive at the answer or even how it's an apt analogy. What are people's strategies?

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'm trying to figure out the best way to drill RC. Do I do a bunch of hard passages at this point? Timed? Untimed?

Hi,

due to some unfortunate circumstances, I havent been able to study for the August LSAT as efficiently as I should have and I'm starting to panic, are there any tips on what I should be prioritizing? (parts of the cc that are most important or just drills and pt's at this point).

Thanks!

Hello,

I joined a 12-week fundamentals virtual group class back in June. I have been drilling and practicing questions untimed, but have not taken a full practice test or done timed drills. I took a diagnostic test back in March.

When should I begin doing timed practice? or should I hold on until I’m done with the course in August? I definitely think timing is a weakness for me, but hate the idea of wasting practice tests if I’m not ready. Thanks!

Is it possible to change the settings for when I take a practice test to get rid of the experimental section?

I first attempted this behemoth in 2017 right after undergrad. In hindsight, I was not ready. I tried again in 2024 but mistakingly applied and got denied from one law school. For my third attempt, I am implementing new strategies such as 7Sage and will be applying to 7 law schools. Be Patient with yourself & always try again.

Which live classes are best to attend? Just beginner ones? Do I drill? I've read others say to hold off on significant drilling until you finish CC.

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?

Is the difference between the two that one has "if true" and the other doesn't?

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?

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

Does anyone have any recommendations for diagnostic tests?

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?

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?

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?

You can now use arrow keys to jump forward and backward while you're watching a video on 7Sage. We've also added other helpful shortcuts along with a shortcuts menu.

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

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!

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?

As the title implies, I don't really train RC that much, I've been focusing on LR in order to get my average down to ~ -5, and hopefully -4, before August test, but I rally haven't drilled RC much, maybe 1 passage for every 40 LR questions. RC is much harder to improve on for some, and I was so tunnel visioned on trying to improve my LR, that I think my RC average of ~6.5 has only consistently gotten worse, with my worst preformance being over these past 2 days, when drilling a couple of spotlight 1 star passages I've gotten 4 or 5 wrong on each. Maybe Im just really bad at spotlight, as it is my worst passage, but I keep being shocked by the results of the passage, seeing ive gotten almost all wrong on a 1 star. Any tips?

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?

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?
