I hope this is a good space to share this, if not please let me know. 😅

I was looking for California LSAT study groups to hold myself accountable on studying or finding support spaces where we can do drills and PTs and go over them.

There's probably other groups out there, but just wanted to share this group in hopes of finding active people who are working towards the June 2025 LSAT and beyond.

💙 Those working 9-5 jobs are welcomed.

💙 All LSAT score levels welcomed.

Because this group is new, our first meeting will be Monday at 7:30PM (PST) on Zoom,

but anyone is welcomed to join and create Discord events with the time they want. 💙

Thank you!

Currenly I have around -6 on LR section under time constraint, but after BR I can get to around -2. I realized the mistakes I can easily fixed and most time even marked is when I encounter MBT or Parrallel questions types which uses formal logic and for me requires diagraming as I am not used to formal logic yet.

I understand maybe to improve the speed on these questions requires time and practice but I also realize when I translate them into formal logic, they start to look like math to me and the meaning is lost. I do get the question right but I am worried with that my intuition will never get trained and I always have to waste time to translate those into math & diagram to get them correct, which might result in not finishing the section.

So my question is just on how I should practice those questions? Should I continue to diagram out each time, and my intuition will actaully grow with it? Or should I start trying out diagraming out in my head and apply more meaning to it? Would it faster for some people to actually diagram out during the actual exam?

Thank you for answering in advance.

An example in this post is from a live class so it MAY BE A SPOILER****

Hi! I am continuously running into issues with conclusions regarding sufficiency and necessity. I completely understand the structure of Lawgic, and I can chain conditionals with no issues using Lawgic, my issue is when sufficiency and necessity lead to a conclusion, and I cannot conclude the argument is valid or draw a conclusion. I can write it out correctly, I just don't understand what it really means..

Example:

Exercise 2: Evaluating Argument Validity

Is the following argument valid?

The vote to grant Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers will not pass if Senator Amidala delivers her speech. Amidala cannot deliver her speech unless the attempt to assassinate her fails. Her assassins planted a bomb on her starship but unbeknownst to them, she was not on the ship when the explosive detonated. Therefore, the vote to grant the Chancellor emergency powers will not pass.

The argument is not valid because of the Lawgic: (I have the structure down)

SAS → /P

SAS → AAF

AAF

/P

Where I am getting confused is the explanation that is provided: "Satisfying a necessary condition yields no valid conclusions." So when can we yield a valid conclusion?? What condition should I be looking at to conclude whether an argument is valid or not?

Another example:

Biologist: We know the following things about plant X. Specimens with fuzzy seeds always have long stems but never have white flowers. Specimens with curled leaves always have white flowers, and specimens with thorny seedpods always have curled leaves. A specimen of plant X in my garden has a long stem and curled leaves.

Q: From the biologist's statements, which one of the following can be properly inferred about the specimen of plant X in the biologist's garden?

I have all of the Lawgic correctly written down:

fuzzy seeds-> long stems

fuzzy seeds -> /white flowers

curled -> white flowers

thorny seedpods -> curled leaves

x has a long stem and curled leaves

The answer: it has white flowers but lacks fuzzy seeds.

HOW??

I understand it has white flowers, but how is it not "It has white flowers and thorny seedpods."

Is it because if there are curled leaves, then there are white flowers (curled leaves -> white flowers), the fact that having curled leaves is in the sufficient means that white flowers has to follow?

And thorny-> curled means nothing because curled is not in the sufficient?

If something is satisfied in the necessary, you can't conclude anything from that?

I have literally spent HOURS trying to understand this (and understanding other examples further down LR). I don't want to move past chaining conditionals until I can completely understand this, so I'm stuck in my studying. I'm actually struggling so hard. Also is it clear what I'm getting confused on... ?? I can re-edit if this is too all over the place sorry :(

Hey guys. I'm enrolled to take the April LSAT, and am consistently scoring 168-169 on prep tests. I can't seem to break into the 170s and do not see any particular patterns in questions I'm missing. Sometimes I'll get -1 and -3 on LR, sometimes -3 and -6. Reading comp I miss about 4. There have been a few cases where I've simply been rushed for time and misread a question, but my results just feel inconsistent so I don't know where to focus my energy. If anyone has any advice please let me know!

she was cute as a button. her and henry were debating normative statements on the last 7sage podcast she was on and she gave some very clever response to one of his points. it was toward the end of the episode, something about "just because i can doesnt mean i should" or something like that

Took a diagnostic test with no studying and scored a 157. Did the foundations section and then scored a 158. Then about half way through the LR curriculum I scored a 153. Scared to take another test and see results drop or not improve. Has anything like this happened to others and how did you deal with it?

I started studying for the LSAT last year and I was planning on taking the October LSAT. It’s annoying because I feel like I understand the techniques really well. I get on a role sometimes and can get almost all the questions right but then some days I feel so exhausted like I can’t even get out of bed. I don’t think that studying for the LSAT is hard but I feel like at this point I’m drilling and not making any progress. I almost always get maybe 1 or 2 answers wrong in a RC passage. When it comes to LR I was getting between 3-7 wrong per 25. I got good at it and then took some time off after my last exam. I feel like I have so much pressure on getting the best result I can. Like if I don’t get a 160+ I have failed completely. I’m so tired. I don’t necessarily want any advice I just want to voice my frustration with this test. I’m planning on taking the August test. It feels so far away but also so soon and I don’t know how to improve my score. I don’t want to run out of test material either. I still have more than 2500 LR questions and over 100 rc passages. I’m trying to study 3 hours a day minimum but lately I am so exhausted that I can’t do anything. I started taking lions mane which is supposed to be a cognitive booster but lately I feel that has just been making me more drained. I also typically drink at least 1 energy drink before studying.

Super vague question but how do you recommend to study for reading comprehension? I get like 16 problems wrong each time. I just always feel way too rushed to comprehend the text. I've got a good understanding of LR but lost of where to start with RC.

Hello,

My name is Abe and I have been studying for the June 2025 LSAT since February 14. Although I have tutoring on Mon, Wed, Fri with supplementation from 7sage and the LSAT Loophole, I would love to form a study group so we can all benefit ! Anybody else here in LA looking for a study buddy? Let's chat!

Hey y'all,

I'd like to start an online study group for any girlies that are looking to test in September of this year (or around then).

I have recently started using Yeolpumta (a Korean app that tracks your studying and lets you create study groups), and I feel like it would be fun and motivating to have a supportive community of women to look to for encouragement and positive vibes while we work toward our LSAT goals. I want the group to be a way for like-minded women to hold each other accountable and maybe even make some friends. ✨💕

Message me if you're interested, and I'll send you a link to join the group on YPT (the aforementioned app).

EDITED TO ADD: The group is still open, so feel free to send me a message any time. Since some people who join may not be as active in the chat, I want to keep allowing new people to join in hopes that we'll have an active chat and get a nice rapport going. I'll edit this post if/when the group is closed.

Started to prep for the September LSAT. I'm thinking of starting a study group, ideally with others who are also in Calgary.

Currently I'm in the low160s, and I'm hoping for high 160s.

I'm hoping to study with others to stay motivated and bounce ideas and techniques with.

For context I have taken 8 full length timed practices and continue to score around 160, while my blind review scores have shot up to a 167. No matter how much I review in different ways or drill the question types I miss most often, I cannot get the scores to match or at least get closer together. I'm feeling like I'm out of options and my test date is coming up sooner than I'd like. Any advice on how to use my last few weeks well to close the gap?

I purchased this guy's course and there's no contact email or way to cancel. I paid $40 for a bunch of useless shit on the site that hardly loads. There's a money back guarantee but no way to even cancel. It's shady af. I am trying to get a hold of him to get a refund and cancel before I get charged for next month. I know he was once affiliated with 7Sage and he even recycled some of the content that's on here. The entire course used to be on 7Sage which is why I am coming here for answers. Can anyone help?
