Very silly decision

So i decided to take the NOV LSAT with very minimal studying. I purchased this program but I am not exactly sure how to use it and the syllabus is way too long for the few weeks I have left. What would be the best way to study?

Fool Proofing Technique

Hi everyone! I am going to be taking the Nov 2022 LSAT and I really want to drill down on fool proofing LG. I was wondering how to go about this. Should I go back to each PT and do all 4 games timed? then BR? then if I get even -1, do that certain game 10 times? I am not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to fool proof?

Thank you :)

I've gone through about 50-60 games so far (PT 1-35). I'm having a lot of trouble of creating the initial master board for never seen before games. That's my main issue, once I make the proper boards, I can clear the questions quickly.

Foolproofing has been "working" so far. For games that initially took me 15 minutes just to get half of the questions wrong because I don't know what the hell I was doing when making the masterboard, now takes me 5-7 minutes because I foolproofed them so many times.

It looks like my biggest fear is coming true. Foolproofing is making me faster at memorizing the games itself. Rather than memorizing the important inferences needed to be made when attacking never seen before games. To note, when I do foolproof, I do the whole game from scratch without memorizing the game rules, I try my best not to make any "cheat" inferences which are completely unintentional, but rather memorized because I foolproofed it (doing the game so many times over and over again)

Any tips?

I am taking the November 2022 LSAT. I took the LSAT twice already. I scored a 152 the first time, I went to retake a few months later and scored a 150. I was devastated and I didn’t know what to do. I gave up my law school dreams for a few years and decided to pick it up in January. After months of grinding back at the start of core curriculum again, I broke 160 in august, and hovered at 158-161 for a few months, after PT91 today I broke 165! Improving is possible, stay on your grind.

I’m scheduled for the November lsat and for the past four days I’ve been consistently getting a 161 instead of my usual 165-166. I’m reviewing all my wrong answers and understand the logic, but it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know what I can do to help my score stabilize in the next week or so. Does anyone have any advise?

This is my first time taking the LSAT. I’m kind of freaking out and am not sure if I should reschedule my test or not.

Drills Question

After taking a drill, and reviewing your results, there is a "priority" category. Which will either say "v low" or "v high"

What does this mean? I'm constantly getting the "v low" ones correct, but not always the "v high" which I am concerned about.

I find myself getting a little overwhelmed with the study methods and how to logically reason myself to understand the correct answers before they are explained. My first practice test did not go well and left me a bit discouraged. Does anyone have some advice on ways I can help prep myself a little better.

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official October 2022 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the October LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, October 18th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  • The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  • Good luck to everyone taking the October LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the October 2022 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Attacking the premise is right?

    Hey y'all

    It's rare for an answer to attack the premise and be right, but how rare is it after PT75.

    On question 75.3.13: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-75-section-3-question-13/

    The correct answer choice contradicts a premise in the argument, now as this is against the learned approach of never attack the premises. How often is it seen in the rest of the prep tests? If it is often, how did you guys adjust your process of thought in order to get these type of questions right.

    -Moreover, if y'all have some drills to be more consistent at getting 4/5 star difficulty questions right I would highly appreciate it!

    Hi everyone!

    I saw someone else's post for tutoring and thought I could do the same. I plan on taking the November LSAT and I am also currently scoring 165+, so it wouldn't be anything seriously official. I am looking to have consistency in my LR section by working through questions and explaining using a specific process.

    Let me know if you are interested!

    Notating Lawgic on LSAT

    I see that 7sage writes out the Lawgic for the majority of the logical reasoning questions and answer choices, which of course is very helpful in determining the correct answer. Can anyone that has taken the digital lsat before please advise if you are at a disadvantage because you can not write everything out? What was your solution to this?

    Hi everyone,

    So, I've been studying for the past month and a half or so and I can't seem to get logical reasoning down. I always, and I mean always, get only 50% of the questions right. The best I have ever done is a -10. I always go back and review what I got wrong, why I got it wrong, and watch every video explanation to the questions I got wrong. Usually it's due to reading errors, rushing, or just overthinking the answer choices. The last time I got 12/26 correct and had a complete mental breakdown. Took a break for one day and did a section just now and got -13.

    Anyone have any advice out there if you just can't seem to have any sort of breakthrough on logical reasoning? I feel so demotivated, sad, and almost like giving up. I've read half of Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book and it did help at the start but it feels like nothing sunk in. I'm taking the November test and I'm absolutely panicking.

    I am taking the November test and need advice. I have been consistently studying and even got 2 lessons with a private tutor. I am finding myself making small improvements (finishing RC with better timing, making more confident answer choices, etc.) but am feeling stuck and distressed. LG is my best so I had my tutor help me with LR and RC... he definitely helped me and I am approaching them better but my scores remain the same.

    Trying not to spiral (obviously failing at that) but I have a GPA of 3.89 and good softs - I just need this score. I really need to break into at least a 165+ and right now PT'ing between 160-163. I guess I just need advice on how to change my approach or some encouragement to just keep trying because I feel like I exhausted every single option.

    How do I tell if I need to pick all the game pieces that could fulfill the given condition, or if I need to select the answer choice that is a valid scenario? For this question (Which one of the following could be all of the solos that are traditional pieces?), I thought I needed to list all the solos that could be traditional pieces, which would be "second, third, fourth, fifth." But that wasn't an answer choice and I got extremely confused. I ended up rereading the game and all the rules a bunch of times and ran out of time for this game. For this question, I believe I simply needed to select the answer that depicts a valid game board. What is the difference between this question and a question that requires listing all possible solos that could be traditional pieces? I often cannot tell apart the wording between these two question types.

    Thanks.
