Hi! I am new here to 7Sage and wanted to ask about the Blind Review option for the drills. I'm not quite sure of the method I am supposed to do besides reviewing my answers before the answer results and would love some guidance on how best to use the Blind Review method for drills. Many thanks :)

Can I just study LSAT for the purpose of increasing my English levels?
Hi,
I was hoping someone can provide me some guidance. I have taken four tests (101,102,103) and the modern 84. I cannot see all four tests in my analytic page. It either shows me 101,102,103 or just 84. Can I see all four at the same time?
Best,

Hello, I am planning out the rest of the two months left until the June LSAT with the games. My best scoring section is the games which will no longer be on the test in August, therefore, I am hoping to get a decent score so I don't have to retake it without the Game section. I have been trying to take the older tests but with the test coming up I want to plan for at least 2 PT a week and maybe the Newer tests.
I have completed the following: PT 47 to PT 52 , PT 59 to PT 71, PT 78, and PT 20.
I have not touched anything above 80 which I was thinking I start the last month. Is there a good way to plan what PT to take and which to save?
Let me know what you think I should do, what PTs to take, which ones to save for after June, etc. Any help is appreciated!
Will learning Logic Games help me understand logic better and do better on LR and RC?
Is anybody else way over time on there "set up target time" and way ahead on the "questions target time"? I feel like I'm alway about 3 minutes behind on the setup and 3-4 mins ahead on questions. Any advice to speed up my set up? I don't feel like I'm making an unreasonable amount of deductions. I feel like sometimes it just takes me a second to understand the game.
I was planning to study for the August 2024 LSAT but now that LG is gone, should I just stop studying it? How does this affect the core curriculum of 7sage, are they just going to remove it? From now on, do I just stop doing the LG section on PTs?
So confused, please let me know what you all are going to do.
Hi,
I am in the range of 161 - 165 (my last LSAT score was 163). Looking for a study buddy who could discuss difficult questions with me or a buddy who might have lower average scores but need tutoring. Just think this is a good opportunity to obtain new perspectives on the LSAT and analyze challenging questions to improve LSAT skills together. Commitment is two/three hours per week.
I am planning on taking the June LSAT, predominantly due to LG being my best section, but I am worried about getting to my goal score (minimum 169) due to heavy score fluctuations. Some days I reach 170 and then immediately drop to a 162. I am an undergraduate student currently and am trying to balance my coursework and job with studying for the LSAT, so I know stress has probably played a role with this, especially with weakening my test stamina. Still, these fluctuations are giving me anxiety considering how close it is to June and so any advice on how to start getting more consistent results and improve my timing would be greatly appreciated!!
I just took a PT and scored a 141 with a BR score of 162 and my previous PT being 147 with a BR score of 154 about 2 months ago. I don’t understand how I dropped so much compared to my previous PT. I am aware that timing is probably the biggest factor that’s killing my score. But I don’t understand how I dropped so much when I’ve been drilling for the past 2 months. During the LG section I could not solve one of the games (it was a miscellaneous) so I got 7 wrong there automatically because I ran out of time and I rather not guess on the questions so I don’t have a possibly inflated score. And I got 4 wrong on the other games. The RC section was brutal I got -19 and during BR brought it down to -10. I can’t seem to finish the section I can only get to 3/4. This is by far my worst section. For LR I got -13 and during BR brought it down to -5. This drop in score from a already low score of 147 to an even lower score is demoralizing and makes me questions if this is even for me. But my BR score is significantly higher than my PT score which is clearly an indication of a timing issue. I know I definitely need to work on all the sections but can anyone give me any advice on what I should do as I am planning on taking the June LSAT because LG is by far my best section. And I am completely baffled by this and don’t even know how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
So I realize why it's C (reason for M's comeback "even students in technical majors are requred..."), but initially chose B. Can we rule B out because we are unsure of Ramona's stance on B?
Hello! I've been studying the logic games section and JY always says to print the question to practice but there is no way on the website to print it. Am I missing a step? Please let me know :(
Hi everyone,
I'm applying for accommodations for the June exam and was just wondering if someone who has applied before could provide some guidance. I have the "qualified professional" statement ready to go, but is it necessary to also send my own statement ("Candidate Statement of Need") as well? If so, any tips for how to write a decent candidate statement? Many thanks!
Journalists often claim that their investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society by forcing the powerful to conform to the same standards of conduct as the less powerful. In reality, however, the tactic is detrimental to society. It makes public figures more concerned with mere appearances, and makes everyone else cynical about the character of their leaders.
The claim that journalistic investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society plays which one of the following roles in the argument?
I chose (A) It is a claim that the argument attempts to refute. However, the answer was (B) It mentions a justification that is sometimes offered for a practice that, the argument concludes, has undesirable consequences.
I think I understand why (A) is not the correct answer, but I am not entirely sure why. To my understanding, the paragraph can be split into 2 parts: one side states a claim that justifies investigating the private lives of political leaders, and the
other states the bad consequences. The second part does not outright refute what the Journalists are saying, so (A) cannot be the right answer.
Does my train of thought makes sense? And does anyone have any tricks/guidance on how to avoid making the same mistake in the future? All help is appreciated.

I can't distinguish between A and E- I originally chose A and then overthought it in BR and chose E. #help

Hey guys! So for reference, I took the LSAT the first time last November without much studying (I work full-time and am in school) and got a 159. Most of my PTs last year were in 156-159 range, with highest being 163 on 93. Well, I just finished the CCv1 yesterday, and took a PT this morning (60) and got a 165 before BR. My goal is to get a 169 or higher on my test in June. I missed 2 on one LR and 4 on the other, with -5 on games (game 3 was AWFUL) and -7 on RC bc I ran out of time for last two passages. Do you think I can improve to a 169 or higher in two months??
I am consistently not finishing the LG section when I take timed PT. I've been having 6-7 questions I do not get to before time runs out. However, when I BR I get a -0 on LG. Should I continue studying LG with the goal of increasing my speed to take the June exam? Or, do I just give up on LG and focus my attention on RC and LR and wait for the August Exam?

I’m trying to study for the June LSAT (the last one with logic games) and I don’t know why, but my last two practice tests have been awful. A couple of weeks ago I was scoring decently and showing improvement, but I couldn’t even finish the last couple of tests. Yesterday I got so overwhelmed halfway through the first section that I threw in the towel, and today I made it through 3 sections but quit because I was literally shaking and couldn’t string two thoughts together. This has never happened before with any of the half-dozen practice tests I've done, so I was hoping that someone knew what was going on? Two weeks ago I was fine, but now I feel like my brain is moving at half its normal pace and the easiest logic/reasoning is beyond me.
I have never sat for the real exam before and really can't decide whether to take June or August. I just took 4 section PrepTest 42, and got a 168 actual with 176 on Blind Review. This is right around where my last 2 prep tests have been.
The breakdown was:
-4 on LG (I didn't get to the fourth game).
-3 on LR (felt good)
-1 on RC
-6 on LR (completely lost focus, spent 3+ minutes on some questions, and didn't make it to several questions)
7sagers, please help – what do you recommend? I'm not sure if I should cut my losses on LG and drop it and just study LR and RC for the August test, or if it's realistic to get to -0 between now and June. I will have much more time to study come summer.
Do I sign up for June? If so, what course of study do you recommend? My goal score is 170 minimum. I suspect I'll have to retake in August no matter what... My dream is an HLS score. Applying this coming fall.
Hello everyone I am new here and just starting my LSAT journey and plan on taking the September exam. I'm trying to customize a study schedule to guide me as I am completely lost on what my daily studying should consist of. I tried to put my study end date to August 31st with today as a start date for 30 hours a week, but it either changes my end date to May 31st or changes my hours from 30 to 10 every time I try to submit. Would anyone know why this may be?
I’m trying to print the practice exam version Aug 2024 and it cuts off the top. Hence the pre Aug doesn’t do this. Please help.

I've got a pretty low GPA primarily due to an illness and subsequent death in the family where i had to step up and be the primary caretaker. Couldn't drop out but found some success working at an IB after graduation. Wondering if i have a shot at getting into Northwestern, that's basically the dream school for me.
