I recently took a cold diagnostic (I took the LSAT cold in Summar of '23... big mistake) without the LG section using the new 4-section format for this August. Scored a 171 timed, 172 BR. Is it worth it to go through the syllabus, or should I just spend the whole summer grinding out PT's and BRing? I'm thinking my time might be better spent that way, since the syllabus will likely cover a lot of stuff I've already got a grasp on.

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to how to sign up for the August LSAT test. I am also wondering how/when to apply for extra time on the August LSAT test.

Best,

Drew

This passage talks about the baroque period and im unsure why the answer is guiding instead of compelling. There was no explanation available. It asks you to identify the meaning of the word directive. I feel like the passage implies that it is more compelling and forceful than the word guiding.

I'm just wondering about which prep tests are used to create drills for logical reasoning. Are they taken from a couple of tests or are they scattered from all the prep tests available?

I can't figure out why the answer is C! No matter how much I look at it, I gravitate towards D.

Hi everyone! I am taking the June 2024 LSAT and am registered to take it in person at a testing center. The registration for choosing the day you take the test opens tomorrow for the Wednesday and Thursday test days and the day after for Friday and Saturday test days. Is there an advantage to choosing a certain day of the week? I had been planning on taking it on Saturday, June 8th because that works best with my schedule but wasn't sure if there is an advantage to taking it on one of the earlier days instead. Thanks in advance for any advice and insight on this!

Hello all,

I want to type out notes for questions while taking the logical reasoning section. However, I do not see an option to type out notes on 7Sage when taking a test test. My questions:

Thank you all!

Sincerely,

Stressed New LSAT Studier

These logical reasoning questions make me feel so stupid! It makes so much sense afterwards but not in the moment. I don't know how i'm going to get a strategy down that will make me see this in the moment and before I make the mistake. I need a foolproof strategy for this! Anyone got any tips or methods they've found helpful? Please message me! I'd love to bounce ideas off of one another for LR and become study buddies.

i'm curious if you could still actually study and practice logic games even after they remove this section from the test. i find learning and practicing these problems are very beneficial in developing analytical skills for law and other aspects of life. i'm not very good at these under time pressure but appreciate the challenge and feel good about showing improvement in my practice scores.

Hi everyone. I have been studying for the lsat for more than 2 1/2 years now. My highest score was a 175 and I am usually scoring between 165-169. I took the April Lsat and scored a 159 :(. I don't know where to go from here now. Im really solid in LR and LG, but Reading Comp kills my score, consistently getting -7. Can anyone help me, or is anyone interested in being a study buddy?

There's still time! Drilling as much as possible before June!

I swear I remember learning in one of the lessons that the lawgic if A then B and C can be rewritten as if A and B then C and vise versa but I can't find that lesson anywhere and am not sure if I just made that rule up in my head. Is this lawgic logical?

Hi,

This is a question about an answer choice like that of PT62 S2 Q20.

It's: The younger a universe is, the brighter the stars are.

Do these relationships work similarly like conditionals, in that only after concluding that the universe is younger, we can say the brighter its stars are?

i.e. you can't see a situation that the stars are brighter, therefore conclude that the universe is younger with this type of relationship?

Thank you.

I see people say they "drill sections" but it doesn't even look like 7Sage has the option of drilling an entire section without actually opening up a whole test. How would I drill, for example, an LR section from an actual test? How do you (person reading this) do it? I get that there are filters on the Practice > Drills but I don't want just random questions with tags, I want to drill a legit section for a test to make sure I don't muddy up a bunch of tests if that makes sense.

I have been immensely stressed about this test. It has monopolized my thoughts since I took it last Nov. and didn't score that well. However, if any of you are like me, maybe it will help to hear this: you ARE capable. Put your game face on, and show these test-makers who the real boss is. Know that your knowledge and preparation will not fail you on test day. The hard work you put in will pay off! Keep striving and keep hoping, because you can achieve anything you put your mind to. Best of luck to all of us next month and to those in months to come. LET'S DO THIS!!!

We've added new lessons on LSAT writing to the curriculum! For those of you taking the test in August 2024 or later, LSAC is making some changes to the writing section. (Here's the official announcement from LSAC in case you missed it: https://www.lsac.org/blog/new-approach-lsat-writing-will-debut-july-31-2024)

In order to help you prepare for the updated writing format, we've introduced three new lessons to the curriculum:

https://classic.7sage.com/progress/#lsat-writing-august-2024-and-later

(NOTE: To see the new lessons, you must be using v2 of the core curriculum. If you're not sure how to access v2, see here: https://classic.7sage.com/accessing-ccv2/)

Lastly, if you're planning on taking the June 2024 LSAT, fear not! The old writing curriculum isn't going anywhere. You can continue using it.

I just finished this test and spent a lot of time on this question. B seems like the obvious correct answer at first (and is the correct answer), but the argument about efforts being wasted on protecting endangered species' NATURAL habitats is, in my opinion, unaffected by the creation of an animal refuge. The establishment of an animal refuge seems to me like an obviously distinct effort than one that is protecting a natural habitat. By it needing to be established and the word "refuge", it seems artificial by definition.

Can someone help me understand this?

I often have trouble with parallel reasoning and this one is throwing me. SOS

So my April LSAT score was a bust, so going to gear up to take it in June. Any recommendations for a 6 week study sprint? My best section is Logic Games so truly going to be my last time to take the test with the best conditions possible. I studied a couple hours 6 days a week from February - April (with tutoring) and was pretty consistently scoring above what I got on the April test. Think I got tripped up just through general test-day anxiety (and what I thought was a super difficult RC section). Should I just try to take as many PTs as possible the next 6 weeks? Should I do more drills? Go back to some of the basics? Little lost here.

Truly so frustrated by my April score and June will be unfortunately my 4th time taking the test, so any words of wisdom or success stories to make me feel some hope would be lovely.

I Did all the passages in RC. Does anyone have the same issue? How should I study for RC?

Hi! I've been studying for approximately 6 months - I scored a 157 Oct 2023, then a 155 Nov 2023 (my fault, I was burnt out by the time I did the Oct that I wasn't mentally prepared for Nov). My highest timed PT has been a 163, but it fluctuates from 156-163, yet my BRs are usually 165+. Timing seems to be my kryptonite. It's not really a matter of running out of time, it's a matter of rushing and missing vital information whilst timed. Any tips on improving my timed score? I usually spend 2-3 hours per day studying, and on weekends I try to do 3-4. Despite that time allocated, I feel like I barely get any practice in, as BR and review takes up a chunk of time. I believe I understand the concepts, but it all fades away when the clock's ticking.

I've been doing 3-section PTs from the PrepTests section, and plan to do a simulation LSAT 4-section PT (1 experimental) this weekend. I've tried timed and untimed drills, but haven't noticed any improvement. Please let me know if you other methods to improve timing!

LR and RC are the consistent sections throwing me for a loop when timed.

Has anyone read the book LR Perfection? Any thoughts and whether it is worth reading through it before the June test? Thanks!

So I was watching the explanation on 7sage and the person explaining the game said that 1-5 was one game board and 6-10 was another, but idk how they knew to split. someone please advise.

Hey guys I feel like Im able to solve questions but sometimes watching the videos I realize I did not make inferences upfront and split into game boards which would literally cut the time I take to do questions in half.

How can I get better at identifying and pushing out inferences up front from a set of rules?

the argument says that Neanderthals probably preserved their meats by smoking it, citing that burnt lichen and grass were found in many of their fireplaces, and that a fire made of these materials produces a lot of smoke, but not as much heat or light as a wood fire.

the correct answer is B. When I read the explanation, it says that B is correct because it suggests that Neanderthals used lichen and grass out of necessity rather than specifically for smoking meat. The explanation also says that the point of this argument is that Neanderthals used lichen and grass only to smoke meats.

But that is NOT how this argument is written to me. To me, the argument says that the only way Neanderthals preserved their meats was by smoking it, citing burnt lichen and grass in fireplaces, that burnt lichen and grass fire produce a lot of smoke as evidence. So I chose A, which suggests that they also used heat, which is ruled out in the last sentence in the argument.

I do not understand, for the life of me, how the main idea of this argument is that Neanderthals used lichen and grass primarily to smoke their meat, and not that smoking their meat was the only way they preserved it!

Is it me????? Every time I think I make headway on these questions, I get them wrong and it's so discouraging.
