I drill each LR question type starting from "easiest". I don't move onto the next level difficulty until I get a perfect score on the drill. Once I get perfect scores on all drills of a given question type from "easiest" to "hardest" it would be really helpful if I could go back and retake all the ones I got wrong to make sure the concepts have been correctly solidified and I've made accurate progress. Would be great to add a feature to the drill filter where you can select "taken" and "got wrong". Thanks for considering! #feedback #request

I have a hard time when it comes down to picking out which piece of the argument is the subset or superset. When I drill I sometimes confuse the necessary for sufficient and vice versa. is there any advice anyone can give me not to do this?

I've been trying to find the substitution equivalence lessons here on 7sage after hearing JY mention it in a new videos, as well as people asking for the lessons in the comments. All the links in response to those comments requesting the video lessons lead me to empty pages without any videos or written explanations. Would someone be able to help me find those lessons? Thank you!

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??

I need advice. I have only been studying for 2 months now but I am already starting to get worried. I have taken 2 PT's & have not finished LR either time, scoring with -15 on both. While I am not too far into CCV2 (still in foundations), I have not been challenged by something this much before, which I guess is threatening to me. I am unsure if it is the wordiness & my want to just have my eyes glaze over while reading the stimuli or if I truly am just not getting it.

I am currently a high school science teacher & my study schedule isn't what I would want it to be due to everything I have going on. My mental stamina is also low. HELP )':

Hey Everyone! I've only been studying for a few weeks and decided to apply what I learned from 7Sage about quantifiers to all/most/some practice problems in the LSAT Trainer. I'm stumped on one question and would very much appreciate it if someone would be able to map it out for me logically.

The passage is: "Most of the dishes at Oldie’s Diner are unhealthy, and most are offered on special during lunchtime. The dishes on special come with the customer’s choice of free fries or a free soda. All of the dishes offered on special are written up on the restaurant’s chalkboard."

The question is whether "Most of the dishes on the chalkboard are on special" can be true.

No matter how I go about the question using formal logic, I only ever arrive at some dishes written on the chalkboard are on special (Written-Chalkboard (--- s ---) On Special). Thanks in advance studious future attorneys!

I posted a q on the thread for PT32 S3 G2 here https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-32-section-3-game-2/

It asks

"Any one of the following could be true about the organizer's selection of works EXCEPT"

It's an in and out game. The answer choices give a partial list of what's in and are asking if the combination could be true. I'm confused because [I thought] when they ask what could be in, we're looking at a comprehensive list, rather than partial list--so it really threw me. I scavenged the comment section and no one else seemed to get tripped up so clearly this is me 😅

-Can someone explain how you knew the AC's were partial?

-Would you say this is a unique q or naw common get a grip

Reply here or directly on the question thread! tysm!

So I just bought the subscription to use the logic games drilling but im not sure how it works. I am using preptest 1-50 for drilling and preptests 51- for actual practice tests. I just want to know how to select only 1-50 for my drilling and have it pick random ones with no specific game type.

Hello All,

I have taken the LSAT a number of times, and most of the time my score is unsatisfactory in comparison to what I had been PTing. Most recently, I scored a low 160 when I had been averaging 170+ the last 7 or so PTs previously. Any advice on what I could be doing wrong?

LG I have down to -0 and RC I know I can improve. I think most of the issue is LR, where I feel like the questions I PT are so much different (and easier) than the ones that show up on the real exam. I don't strictly recreate exam day conditions during PT, but maybe even less than ideal conditions (people walking around, visual/audio distractions, etc.) and yet I still do well on PTs and not on the official exam.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks y'all

I've been studying now for 10months and do not see much of the improvement.

Comparing to what it felt like 10 months ago when I first started to study, it was very difficult to understand the passages as well as the answer choices, and comprehending took so much time. I was always short in time by 5~10 minutes when I do the time section on LR(getting -7 ~ -14wrong).

Now, I feel more familiar with the LR passages, sometimes see the pattern and most of the time able to solve 1~2 star questions quickly and some of 4~5 star questions easy, and I am now able to finish timed section roughly in time.

But I don't see much of the apparent improvement and keep getting -8 and sometimes -12 if I was unable to focus and distracted. I will be very happy if I could get less than 3wrong consistently.

I am so devastated. Is this normal? Any advice will be very appreciated.

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official February 2024 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the February 2024 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, February 13th.

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 February 2024 LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the February 2024 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Hi Everyone,

    I just did question 18 in Section 2 of PT 77 and I am confused by the language in answer choice D. It says "fails to exclude the possibility that there might be legitimate evidence motivating those who reject Shakespeare's authorship". The fails to exclude part threw me off and I was hoping someone could better explain that to me. Thanks!

    I’m trying to understand the methodology of doing a practice set of let’s say 2 games, then doing them the best you can , then watching the video for explanation. I just feel like I’m doing the same thing of struggling through a game , then watching the video , doing the game over and over again until I get all the inferences. But then I try a new set and I feel like I either do ok or I’m back to struggling. I’ve done so much practice I’m sure I still I haven’t seen all the types of games there are? Sometimes the way the games are worded confuses me where I take extra time upfront to understand the rules so I can draw it correctly. I’m at a standstill at this point and I want to get it right. :/

    Hey, y’all! I’m taking the February LSAT next Saturday and was wondering what my study schedule should be. I’ve been focusing hard this last month on logic games as I think it can boost my score the few points I want to be able to get in. I’ve been doing about an hour a day or so drilling 3-4 games a day. Should I continue doing this? I feel okay enough about the other sections. My goal is a 150ish. Thanks!

    Heyyy ya'll! When LSAC released the decision of removing the logic games, I decided to hold off until August to take the test. That being said, I've been studying on and off for over a year and have been consistently studying while working a full time job since June. I finished the core curriculum and have been spending my time now drilling RC and LR, PTing, blind review, and wrong answer journal.

    I'd love to know what YOU are doing if you are taking August LSAT! How are you divvying up your time? What are you focusing on? How often are you PTing? Any outside recources you are using besides 7sage? I'd love to know, thanks :)

    I started studying last June and took my first test this January and got a 149😔. I pushed it back from October because I knew I wasn’t ready with Powerscore. I got a tutor through them and got scammed and didn’t realize till last minute 🫠. I ended up playing catch up last minute before the test, which I feel definitely played a role in my score. I plan on taking the April LSAT and know I still struggle with LR. Are there any tactics or suggestions people can offer to support with this journey.
