Hi everyone, this is my first time doing this. I am taking the lsat in April ( and June) and I was wondering for these last couple of weeks is there any tips/advice for studying for any of the sections? What helps you all study, how do you find time studying while working and going to school? If anyone answers I would really appericate you.
I'm taking the LSAT for the first time in April at a testing center and I can't deny that the nerves have started. For those who have taken the test in the past, what is your best piece of advice? What would you tell past you about the test if you could go back in time and give them a heads up?
Hi folks - I just took the November Flex. For reference, I took my first LSAT-Flex in October and did well. I went into November thinking I could do better...While the November test was fairly standard, perhaps even easier than October, just as I began to take the test, Biden was called (!), and for the entire test all I heard were people screaming and cars honking. I also had zero adrenaline, zero nerves. I felt like my body was so relieved from the election being called that I just crashed just as the test started. 1) Do you think LSAC would allow me to retake the test if I filed a complaint (I'm assuming ProctorU has the video recording of all the noise); 2) Has anyone taken an LSAT with zero adrenaline and done well? Legit I was so calm/exhausted/out of it that I feel like I lacked the edge necessary to execute the score I wanted. Also, if I don't cancel my score, is it bad for admissions to see let's say a 170 and then a 160? Thank you!
Hey guys,
I am so sorry to post this silly question but I would be super thankful if you give me a short answer to this.
I just really like to canvass ur opinion on this issue. Is it wrong to say that "the downside of human intelligence" or "the downside of having human intelligence" instead of the dark side of human intelligence? Does that sound awkward to u even when I am simply referring to the negative aspect of that endowment? By doing so, I am not talking about the moral perversion. For instance, by being equipped with human intelligence, one could be cunning and calculating, driven by his/her needs. This acumen could sometimes hinder us from developing any unconditional/trust-based relationship with others. Then, what was supposed to serve us positively does a disservice to our welfare against our will. Is it really improper for me to depict its negative effect without resorting to the evil genius in the realm of philosophy? What I want to say is that there could be some cumbersome issues arising from this faculty. Meanwhile, I would like to distinguish the inconveniences from the out-and-out moral failures like crime. I think there could exist some of the attributes that do not promote our well-being while they do not necessarily cross their paths with the humanity's seedy underbelly. what are ur thoughts on this? Forgive me for posing this moronic question.
Hello everyone! I'm interested in establishing an in-person study group in NYC. I live in Queens, but I'm open to meeting anywhere within the city. I'm studying for the August LSAT. Let's get this W.
How could a company have no creative employees yet fulfill the condition "have creative employees"? I went with C because it questions the validity of the language "is said to have" which seems like shakier reasoning than no creative employees can have creative employees.
I am very confused what study schedule I should be using for the August LSAT should I be using the V2 beta or the regular study schedule because they both say different things to do per week? I am just confused how I should structure my studying because the regular one has a lot less time per week than the beta but the beta includes prep tests.
What is the best way you all have found to study with 7sage? I usually watch a guided video then try and do a drill of the same sort. Wanted to make sure I wasn't leaving anything on the table. Any input would be awesome. Thanks everyone!
I'm a non-trad student (27, still in undergrad because I took several years off due to certain life circumstances) and I work Friday-Sunday in healthcare (pharmacy tech), and I do not truly have any days off. During law school, I plan to quit working, but I'm not able to yet. I just feel like I don't have any time to get much LSAT studying in between working, my classes, and sleeping. My highest PT score is 151, and although I know that isn't horrible, I want better so I can get scholarships and in top 50 school if possible. My CAS GPA is going to be poor because my freshman year, my dad died and I quit going to class for a while and failed 3 classes, but I have done really well since I went back, mostly As and a couple Bs. So, I have to get a good LSAT. Anyone have any tips how to squeeze in some LSAT studying while working and school?
I have been missing significantly more LR questions after taking PTs in the 80s and I'm not sure why. Does anyone have any advice for improving on these questions? I really am not sure why I keep missing so many LR so suddenly.
Why I can't print my Drills? I don't see the option "Printable" anymore.
You can now print a PDF of LSAT Questions straight from the Question Bank!

Go to the Question Bank! Let's say you've done PT66, 67, and 68 recently and want to drill all the flaw questions from those PTs.
Select "Flaw or descriptive weakening" (or add "+Flaw"), type PT66, then add all the Flaw questions:

Then type PT67 and add all questions. Then do the same for PT68.

Update on 2024-03-21: we've ended this experiment and turned off the study session calendar. Thanks to everyone who came to a collaborative study session!**
Hey 7Sage,
I'm excited to announce free, on-demand, small-group study sessions! Every weekday, we're offering four sessions with ten slots each. The sessions are designed to be student-led—no 7Sage staff will be in the meeting—but we'll provide your group with a suggested activity.
Please note that the meetings will be recorded for the safety of all participants.
Sign up for a small-group study session now!
This is an experiment, and we’d love to hear your feedback.
Hi there,
I hope all is well.
Does anyone have any tips for Must be True questions?
Great news: we’ve updated the 7Sage digital tester to include the set of remixed PrepTests LSAC recently released (PTs 101–158). To access them, simply head to the digital tester as usual and click the “August 2024 or later” button at the top.
Wait, what?
Here’s the backstory if you missed it: On February 22, LSAC released 58 “new” (well, technically not new) PrepTests on LawHub, a set they’re calling the “August 2024 Admin Test Format.” They start at PT 101 and go to PT 158.
The change is in preparation for the post-August 2024 LSAT which will be offered without Logic Games. The newly released PrepTests consist of two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension section, and one experimental section. Technically, the material on the tests is not actually new; these are composed of shuffled and repackaged sections from previous tests (PT19-PT94), excluding Logic Games.
I’m so confused!
That’s fair! This is a lot to keep track of, even for those of us who only ever think about the LSAT. Here’s a post with a lot more details about the new/not new PTs.
Hey! I'm planning to take the LSAT in April and/or June so I can take the LSAT with logic games. I've been studying with 7Sage religiously and do daily drills with both the advanced and auto builder. However, today I went in and everything looks completely different and there is no option to drill logic games. Additionally, I can't see which drills/questions I've done (including LR and RC) as all the preptests are different now. Can 7Sage please fix this and provide a drilling option for those taking the April/June tests?
For the past four drill sets (main point section under "syllabus"), I have submitted my answers and completed blind review, only to find that the correct answers and explanations are not shown. Under the “Review Results” heading, it just says “Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries.” It did not do this for earlier drill sets.
This makes it impossible to meaningfully work through the syllabus. Please advise.
This one really confused me because I thought we were always supposed to assume that the premises are automatically true. So the author saying "original" would be a statement of fact rather than circular reasoning. Could someone #help
Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."
In the drilling mode section it says there are a certain amount of 'clean questions' remaining for each category. Does this refer to questions that only exist in PTs 1-35? I would like to do more drills but also don't want to spoil future practice tests.
Has anyone else gotten an email about signing up for a testing time for the April test yet? I saw sign ups are suppose to start today, but I haven't gotten any emails yet, and last time I'm pretty sure I got an email about it in advance
Hi guys! I just started with the v2 core curriculum and I think it'll be a great idea to get a study buddy(ies) to help each other through this insane process. Lmk if you're interested! I'd love to connect over discord since it is so easy to use. Thanks!! Also, if you can add me as a friend on discord (swaggerjagger02) so we can get to know each other and plan some sessions!
My home environment isn't a reliable place to take the test. I am considering taking at a testing center. Has anyone tried this? Do they provide the computer the test is administered on, or do I need to bring my own?
Looking for in-person study buddies in the area- hoping to take any exam prior to next cycle. I can provide a calendar for us to populate. This is also a good way to explore new cafes/study spots in the Bay! The primary purpose of this is to provide accountability and motivation (stemming from a bit of healthy competition). HMU!!
Hey 7Sagers,
Just FYI, if you're having a tough time pulling up your RC score and are wondering if you could be doing anything differently, I recently posted some RC tips over on the blog:
LSAT Reading Comprehension Tips
If you've had success with other approaches, please share! Post any tips of your own here or over in the blog's comments.
Happy reading and comprehending!
I've been studying and I noticed a very peculiar trend in my wrong answer choices as well as the reason I get these answers wrong. And the issue is I always wind up missing some important detail in the stimulus that will lead me to the correct answer choice. And it's always something small like a key word whether it's something that indicates strength (always, some of the time, never) or something like "adequately, imprecise, etc". It's always something small but this small thing usually changes the answer choice up a lot. And my wrong answer choice is almost always the second most selected answer meaning that I'm falling into the trap the LSAT writers have set out in some way.
Any advice/ practice strategies for resolving this issue? Or any more concise explanation? I see the pattern but I'm still having a bit of a hard time completely understanding and pinpointing the issue.
