Hi 7sage,

Would it be possible to include an analytics page for reading comp that shows you which kinds of passages you need to work on in reference to the topic? Meaning am i getting more questions right on a Law passage vs. Art... etc...

Thank you.

I learned two main things I learned from Loophole that I thought I would share with everyone here.

Hi guys I'm going to take the Janurary LSAT and I have a question about setting requirement in my room. I got many pop star posters on the background wall in my room and I don't know if it's ok to keep them while I take the online LSAT. I currently live in my NYC apartment and there's no other room for me to take the test. Should I take the posters off? (It will be huge work for me to take all 30+ posters down and I really don't want to ruin the decorations because I put lots of effort in it). Thank you very much for help guys!

Why is AC C incorrect? Isn’t the publics awareness for obvious things an explanation in itself for why the water issue is well known? Thanks for help

Looking for someone to review a couple LR sections with before the January test.

Currently averaging -6 and would like to review with someone for the next 2 weeks or so.

Lmk if interested!

Could you please explain why E is wrong?

While fool-proofing games from PT1-35, have heard JY often say Misc Games from the earlier tests are very rare now - is that still true? I always tend to trip up on those kinds of games. How much should I worry about these keeping recent tests in mind?

I'm having trouble figuring out what AC B from PT90 S4 Q11 is saying. I watched JY's explanation so I now know what it means to say, but I'm not sure how I would have figured this out on my own? Usually punctuation marks would be on my side to help parse it out, but I find it peculiar that there weren't any because I really think this sentence could be read two ways?

The original AC says:

"Infants who consume cow’s milk that has not been boiled frequently contract potentially fatal gastrointestinal infections"

OR

Let me know if that makes sense and what sort of queues I could look out for to read this sentence right! I just find it difficult because there is no punctuation swaying you either way?

I think the error that author makes is false equation (population # = # of library users) but can someone explain answers (B) and (E) in further detail? Thanks in advance! :)

How do you read the passage for RC? What is helpful for you?

Also what are some common traps you have found in RC answer choices?

Is this statement ever a possible answer? OR is this answer a self-contradictory statement.

"A factor that need not be present in order for a certain effect to arise may nonetheless be sufficient to produce that effect. "

Is this just saying it doesn't have to be sufficient but may nonetheless be sufficient...?

I'm just confused to this answer choice, what does this even mean?

For a principle question, let's say the stimulus was about a scenario and the correct answer choice was to identify the principle in that situation. Could the contrapositive be correct?

Ex: the principle describing the scenario is 'if you run a marathon, you will be tired'

In the answer choices, if one was 'if you're not tired, you didn't run a marathon,' would that be acceptable? Or does it have to be 'if you run a marathon, you will be tired'

Apologies if this is a dumb question!

Hi everyone,

I'm about 5 months into intensive studying for the LSAT and am struggling to see big progress on my games section. This is pretty much the only section I've studied as I started off averaging -3/4 each on LR and RC so I decided to focus my effort on the one I struggle with.

I scored a 157 on the November LSAT after averaging 161 prior to it, and just hit my first 164 practice test the other day (could have been luck). Despite everything, I've still never cracked -8 on the games section. I try to foolproof every type of game but I'm starting to panic with my LSAT coming up in January and needing to get a minimum of 163 to be competitive for my law school choices.

If anyone has any advice on how to go from -8 to -3/2 in two weeks please share, it would be so incredibly helpful. Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if there is a cheat sheat that details all of the different question stems in LR and how to approach them (i.e., weakening questions = attack the support, necessary assumption = take the contrapositive of the ACs and see which one wrecks the argument, etc. etc.). Please let me know if something like this exists. I haven't touched anything LSAT-related since the June exam and I'm looking to jump back in. Thanks!

Any strategies/tips for improving?

How many weeks did it take you to see improvement whether you solely self-studied or did a combo of self-study + tutor (1-2 sessions) every week?

And on that note, can anyone recommend a tutor that helps you by listening to your reasoning (i.e., for eliminating A/C and picking the correct AC) and telling you where said reasoning is flawed?

For (A) to make sense, isn't it necessary that we need to assume that "informing people to make better choice" is journalism's only purpose?

Otherwise, say if journalism might have another purpose (say entertainment), gossip might fit such potential purpose. Hence, we couldn't be able to reasonbly conclude that gossip is sometimes included for nonjournalistic purpose.

Could anyone explain where my thought process went wrong? thanks.

Hi everyone! I am registered for the January test. I made a mistake in my scheduling and did most of the newest RC sections in the first leg of my preparation. Now I'm left with unused sections from PTs 30-50s (and 6-7 latest PTs which I have saved for timed practice test runs). The only option I have for drilling is using the old test sections. I am constantly scoring -0 to -3 in these. Do these sections reflect a similar difficulty level as those of the modern tests or these sections are comparatively easier?

Any advice of improving RC score is also welcome. Thanks in advance!

Currently averaging –2-3 on RC sections. Misses are confined almost exclusively to 4- and 5-level difficulty questions. Basics are on point, and I generally feel calm and composed during PTs.

Question: Is it worth going through RC sections in post-BR reviews, i.e., in review sessions 2-3 days after taking and BRing a PT? If so, advice on how to effectively conduct such review would be greatly appreciated.

For context, average score of 5 most recent PTs is a 173.

So I decided to take another year to do this again & aiming for June but after 9 months of doing nothing but work, study, repeat I think I burned myself out. Any advice for starting again? I don’t think studying 24/7 helped - it may have harmed actually. I’ve been trying to get back into studying the last couple weeks but have been unable to get myself to do it.

I got this one right, and I was able to easily eliminate C-E, but I don't understand how to eliminate B.

I spent a lot of time debating between A and B. I chose A as the right answer because if urban populations have doubled in the past decade then it does not indicate an increase deaths but rather indicates the population was the same amount of deaths as before SO it is not an increased amount of deaths proportionate to the death rate.

Can someone please explain B to me!? Thanks!!!

A ---> B --SOME--> C; therefore A ----> C, is that a valid argument?

I know A ---Some--> C is an invalid argument, but I am unsure about the not some situation.

Hello All,

Just as many of you, I struggle with reading comprehension. However, I am new to 7Sage and would like strengthen my RC score, but I understand that it is one of the later sections we go through in the core curriculum. Would anyone know if it's fine to simply start learning about the RC sections, or would you suggest that I take things in order.

Thanks!

I am planning on re taking my LSAT again and am thinking about taking the March 2022 LSAT. Is that considered late in the cycle for the Fall 2022 semester? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Would taking the February 2022 LSAT be a better idea? Thanks again.

I need advice on "setting up" matching games. I seem to have the most difficulty with number restrictions and being able to swiftly move through these games. Does a "catch all" approach exist when dealing with these types of setups, at least, in order to get started? I feel as if these are preventing me from breaking into the 150s. I'm at a 148 right now and it's driving me mad.
