Hey guys, had a 7Sager message me with a question and I thought you could help out! Here it is:

Hi I had a question regarding the 5th question on Section 2 of preptest 78 (June 2016). you came to the conclusion that B is correct. but cant we also say that A (i.e. QS) is also true? I mean QS were also out so how do we differentiate in the end?

Hey guys! Had a 7Sager email in with a question that I thought you guys could help out with. Note that any iterations of "you" are referencing J.Y.

I have a question for you regarding reading comprehension, specifically the comparison passages.

I noticed that in several older videos/tests with the comparison passages, you read both passages first and then went straight to the questions. In the newer tests though, I saw that you did one comparison passage first, then went to the questions and answered them or eliminated answer choices, and then read the second passage and returned to the questions afterwards. When I do this second approach of reading one passage, going to the questions, and then reading the second passage VERSUS reading both passages before the questions, I end up spending more time on the questions.

Would it be wiser for me to stick to reading both passages first and then heading over to the questions, OR should I retrain myself to the method that you have been doing in newer tests of reading one passage and then going to the questions before reading the second passage?

Also, I'm curious what your view is on marking/notating the passages while reading the passage. Your videos focus on the memory method. For me personally, I have to underline and circle words in order to stay focused and engaged with the reading. I've seen different methods regarding notating such as the Powerscore book and Nicole Hopkins' methods of Reading Comp. From your experience, do most of the high test takers whom you have worked with heavily mark the passage or not as they read?

Thanks!

Hey guys, a 7Sager asked a question and I thought you guys could help out! Here it is:

I have about 10 fresh PTs left and I'm registered for the February test, and was wondering if it would be advisable for me to leave all of them untouched for the June test or to go through only the LG sections before the Feb test? I heard there are a lot of curveballs/weird games for the late 70s tests which I haven't solved yet, and so I thought it would be a good idea to get as much exposure to them.

And in the meanwhile, would it be best for me to re-take older PTs that I've forgotten and hardcore blind review like we did together?

Hey guys! If you're taking the LSAT and your account is inconveniently set to expire a few days before the test date, just email me (dillon@7sage.com) and I'll extend your account for free through the December test. (Make sure you include your 7Sage email!)

I can guarantee you that my inbox will fill up with these, so give me time to reply to them all. If your account expires by the time I get to your email, don't worry, I'll reactivate it for you. :)

Hey 7Sagers, had a user email me in with a question that I thought you'd be great at answering. Here it is:

Hi All,

I need your help urgently! I have been wanting to go to law school for years but was never able to score highly enough on the practice tests. Then I quit my job and decided to take a class and study full time. I picked 7Sage over all the other classes that I researched. I started March 18th and was at 144 on the June 2007 test now that I did the course I have been taking practice tests and I got a 134. I had been hoping to take the June test but decided to push back until September. So many questions for you. 1. Was the 7Sage course a waste of time and money since my score dropped 10 points? 2. What should I do now? Take practice tests and get a tutor to go over it with me? Do any of you tutor? Anyone willing to work with me? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey guys! Here's the official Feb. LSAT Discussion Thread. Please keep all discussions of the Feb. 2017 LSAT here!

Here's some ground rules, taken from my usual sticky:

We know that everyone will be excited to discuss what was on the Sept. '17 LSAT, but mentioning specifics about the test (e.g., "I got B for question 6" or "the 3rd LG was sequencing") can get both us and you in a lot of trouble with LSAC. Saying that the test was hard/easy without going into detail is okay, but anything more specific is not okay. LSAC monitors this forum.

If you're unsure what may be too specific, feel free to PM me with what you'd like to post.

The only exception is you can say which sections were real or experimental. For example, the LG with "flowers" was experimental. That's okay.

TL;DR: PLEASE don't talk specifics about September's LSAT!

Hey guys, had a student email in asking how to best use the LSAT Trainer and 7Sage together. We don't have a guide on how to do that so I thought you guys could help out. Here's the email:

I just had a quick question. It might be a question that does not have an answer yet or it does have one. Before i signed up for the 7sage i read online and a lot of people stated the way your course is was similar and goes perfectly with the LSAT trainer book by Mike Kim. My main question is that do you have some sort of document or PDF that gives you the page number of the lesson a student would be currently on in the 7sage course to the LSAT trainer book? That way if a student like myself who cannot afford to pay for the ultimate package, can still have access to more questions via the LSAT trainer book. is there something of that sort? Just thought i would ask.

Hey 7Sagers! I had a student ask for some pointers and tips regarding applications with a February LSAT and a low previous score and I immediately thought of our wonderful community.

Do you guys have any tips or pointers to share?

Hey guys! We've got a fellow 7Sager who's looking to 1) improve herself and 2) pay it forward to this awesome community. We suggested that she offer to tutor for free.

Her average of her 6 most recent PTs is 166. These were all PTs from the 70's.

She wants to work with you to BR your LR or RC sections from your PTs. If you're PTing in the low 160s (or lower), consider this opportunity. She's usually free from 7pm EST onward.

If you're interested, let me know by commenting here and I'll put her in touch with you.

It's a great opportunity!

Have fun discussing!

Hey 7Sagers, just wanted to update you on a small change we're making with our "Mentor" title.

We've had the title available for a long time and it has done wonders for the community, so special thanks to all past and present Mentors! The title has kind of evolved over the years into something better (at least in my opinion) and with that, we wanted to change up the name.

"Mentor" sounds like you'd be talking with someone who is a LSAT master—but not everyone is aware that our Mentors might still be studying for the LSAT and are just trying to help out. So, instead, we're switching the title over to a star (⭐). This will show that you're important to the 7Sage community the same way that "Mentor" does, but without the responsibility that some of the students might accidentally put on you of being a perfectly oiled machine, so to speak.

We're still trying this out and are thinking of different ways to incentivize all of this, so we may add more stars for students who help out more. If you have ideas, let us know!

If you have the Ultimate+ course, the explanations have been automatically added to your account. You can see that here:

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/preptest-81-video-explanations-questions/

If you'd like to pick up PT81 and its explanations, you can pick it up here:

https://classic.7sage.com/addons/

PT81 is on sale for $5.97 for a VERY short time—get it at that price while you can!

Hey guys,

PT82 is now available for $5.97 for a limited time:

https://classic.7sage.com/addons/

If you have Ultimate+, then you already have access to this PrepTest in your Syllabus.

The explanations are not yet complete! We currently have LG videos up, but everything else is missing until we complete the rest of the PT. Until then, you'll receive the printable test, LG explanations, and quickview videos. Once the explanations are complete, they will be added on if you own the PT form 7Sage or have Ultimate+.

Enjoy!

Hey guys,

If you haven't noticed (though I'm sure you have), we've been having some issues with weird spam as of late. I've been instructing users to use the "flag" button when they see it, but it wasn't working on mobile.

We recently put in a fix to allow it to work on mobile. You may need to clear your cache if you're using the browser (http://classic.7sage.com/clear-cache/), but it's now working!

If you don't know what I'm talking about, this is the flag button:

Hey guys! We've got a fellow 7Sager who's PTing in the 170's and looking to 1) improve herself and 2) pay it forward to this awesome community. We suggested that she offer to tutor for free. Thing is she's pretty shy in the threads / comments so I'm making the announcement for her.

She wants to work with you to BR your LR or RC sections from your PTs. (There are a few PTs she hasn't taken yet so she will decline doing those—you can figure this out with her—but most PTs she's already completed.)

If you're interested, let me know by commenting here and I'll put her in touch with you.

It's a great opportunity!

Hey guys,

Got a great question from a student that I thought you could help with. Here it is!

Do you mind answering a question I have about "accurate and complete list" type Qs on the logic games?

So, if I'm not mistaken, for a question like: "Which one of the following is a list of variables, any one of which cannot belong to group A?", we have to check ALL possible worlds and come up with a complete list of all the variables from all the possible worlds that cannot go in A.

--as opposed to: a question like "Which one of the following could be the list of variables that go in group A?" Because this question doesn't have the phrase "any one of which," it would suffice to find an answer choice that matches just ONE of the possible worlds, right?

So my question is:

For a question like "Which one of the following CANNOT be the complete assignment of paralegals to the Thompson case?" (PT 69 G4 Q22), would we have to check ALL possible worlds or just ONE possible world? I'm thinking that because it's not phrased as "Which one of the following is a list of paralegals, any one of whom cannot be assigned to the Thompson case," it would be enough to circle the answer choice that matches just ONE of the possible worlds. Is my intuition correct?

Sorry, this is so much to read through, but it would mean so much to me if you could help me out with this, as I am really confused!

Hey 7Sagers, had a student email me with a question that I thought you could help with. Here it is:

I seem to be struggling with the grouping games. Like which diagram to use, and if any key words support a diagram decision. I would also appreciate any further advice? Any example from prep tests 76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, and/or all would be awesome.
