I am planning on taking the August LSAT; I am currently scoring in the low 170s and am generally free on the weekends and most weekday evenings. I would be happy to go over anything, I just need someone else to work through questions and develop a stronger understanding of the test with.

Often, when doing RC passages, I doubt myself. The answers I select feel like they're half guessing, but I am usually correct. Anybody have any advice on how I can go about having more confidence in my answers?

Hi All!

Not really sure where this goes, but I am wondering if there is any chance that the August 2024+ PTs will be loaded onto 7sage. I know that these sections are used from past LSATS, but I find it would be helpful when looking at analytics to be able to track that data.

Or even possibly have an option to create custom prep tests as I found out which sections correlate to which PT.

I was trying to make a problem set on here using questions I got wrong on various preptests in Lawhub, but when I went to add PT 62, S2, Q18 (which in Lawhub is a SA question re: planets/solar system) it pulled up a completely different question (MBF question re: computer programming). is there a reason and/or a solution? thank youuu

Hi,

I am looking to take June 2024 LSAT. I work FT. I am a nontraditional student with little ones. I have flexibility on a weekend, Mon and Fri. I am looking for preferably a female buddy or buddies. I would like to meet once or twice a week to go over possibly a section or two and go over how we both would approach a question type. Or we can do a RC passage together or/and can try to explain it to the other what we just read . I believe if you can explain what you just read, you are one step ahead. We can work on games together, too. I guess just someone to share this miserable journey with and be each other biggest supporter. We can brainstorm together. Please let me know if you're interested!

Hi everyone

I plan to take the August LSAT, and I am looking for anyone else who is available to be accountability partners or study buddies leading up to that time. Preferably Zoom or another video platform would be fine.

Could anyone provide an example of a stimulus or anything that fits into the answer C? It doesn't actually have to be matching the content in C, just the form of "confusing x with y".

Thank you very much.

In the new version of the core curriculum, the way JY teaches Argument Part questions, he tells us to beware of answer choices that use language like "assumption" or "implies" etc. because if the question states an idea explicitly mentioned in the stimulus, it by definition cannot be an assumption or implicit. This made a lot of sense to me and still does! However, PT39, S2, Q16 makes me struggle a bit. As the right answer calls the explicitly referenced idea "an assumption."

Attractive Wrong Answer: C - "It is offered as evidence for the contention that human beings must be descended from either lungfish or coelacanths."

Correct Answer: D - "It is an assumption that both parties to the dispute use as a starting point for their arguments about human evolution."

The question says "which one of the following most accurately describes the role played in the dispute above by the proposition that frogs are definitely related to the species of fish from which human beings evolved"

The stimulus says "Since biologists agree that frogs are definitely related to the species of fish from which human beings evolved..."

How could that idea possibly play an "assumption" role in the argument if it is explicitly stated?

I know the LSAT makes it pretty hard to hold any absolute truths about the test, but I really thought it would be hard to ever have a correct Argument Part answer choice reference an assumption. Am I totally off-base here? Thanks!

I plan on taking the lsat in June 2024 and was aiming to get high 150s/low 160s. I took my first PT in february before I started studying and got a 143. I took it again this month (march) after 45 hours of studying and got a 148. I am discouraged by my recent score. Can I realistically increase my score to a 160 in 2.5 months? I know that hours don't necessarily convert to points but how many hours would you estimate it would take? Any tips would be appreciated!

I've been studying for the LSAT for a while now but I haven't done a full practice test yet. I've completed LR and am about halfway through LGs... my thinking is that I want to complete all three sections so I know how to tackle all the questions. Do you think that is productive or do you think it'd be beneficial to do a practice test before completing the core curriculum?

Hello All,

Can anyone speak to whether you chose to use your testing accommodation or not when taking the LSAT? And do you feel it is a hindrance to use it when taking the test in a testing center vs compute test at home?

I’m asking because I took one test and I did not use my usual testing accommodations . And then I took the next one at a test site and used my accommodations. To my dismay I did 11 points worse than I did when I tested without my accommodations. Also the test site was very noisy and disorganized which I reported to LSAC. I’m just trying to figure out if I should no longer use my accommodations. It felt like it was a situation that culminated into me doing worse and I felt I was treated differently - myself and another test taker who also had accommodation. We had to wait an hour to start our test and that caused a lot of anxiety at least for me. Thank you.

Hi, I just renewed my lawhub subscription from the same account and still unable to link to 7 sage. The link button is not even show up on my 7 sage account. I have the same LSAC account. Please help

I'm having trouble loading the recording of live classes and explanation videos. I've tried two different browsers. Is this a known issue? Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm from a non-English speaking country and my first diagnostic test was 142. The major problem is that I cannot finish the test with such a short period of time. I've already received an LLB from my home country and it's totally possible for me to do lsat well in my first language. So English vocabulary seems like the biggest barrier for me. I'm kindly inquiring are there any ways to increase my vocabulary in 6 months and is it possible for me to get a 160+ last eventually?

Greetings 7Sagers!

Join us on Thursday, March 14 at 8pm ET for a Live Marquee Class hosted by Admissions Consultants Taj McCoy (formerly at Berkeley Law) and Sam Riley (formerly at Texas Law). They'll be joined by David Kirschner, Associate Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid from USC Gould School of Law. The trio will discuss the importance of campus visits and setting expectations at law school admitted student weekends (ASWs).

Register on the event page here: https://classic.7sage.com/event/marquee-event-campus-visits-featuring-uscs-david-kirschner/.

Note: The event will be recorded and available for playback in the live class archive.

stimulus :

"There can be a known known only if theres a known unknown, but there can never be an unknown unknown without a known unknown. Thus, every unknown unknown which is known is actually a known unknown which is unknown."

question : the conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?

the content of this question is inspired by the "Rumsfeld Matrix." What would be a sufficient assumption for this question? Is this a hard question or did you find it on the easier end of SA questions?

I understand that A is right because it counters a possible objection that Han purple and white glass were produced independently of each other, in different places.

But I thought that C also nullified a possible objection, so I'm having trouble understanding why it's ultimately wrong. I chose C because I thought it countered the reverse explanation: that white glass was the accidental effect of Han purple production. If only very few people knew how to make Han purple and then created white glass later (by accident or not), then how would white glass have become so common, like the stimulus says? I don't think it's a huge jump to say that if very few people knew a technique for making Han purple/white glass, then both were probably not very common. So this shows that an alternative explanation would not be consistent with the fact that white glass was common. Doesn't C, like A, also counter an alternative explanation?

Is it different from A because when we negate it, and say that a lot of people knew how to make Han purple, that negation doesn't clearly weaken the argument?

Any further clarification on why C isn't really doing the same thing as A (weakening an alternative explanation) would be very helpful!

Hi, I have finished all the general and specific theory relating to LR. I know the next step to complete is guided application, but I am kind of at a stand-still on the most efficient way to practice. I know that drills can help, but I wasn't sure if I should just start practice using these and possibly end up wasting them, or not using them as efficiently as they're meant to be. Does anyone have any tips or next steps on how to get the ball rolling again? Thanks!

Do you guys take old practice tests timed? Like 1-50? How accurate are those? I'm doing 2 times practice tests per week and then reviewing. Is that a good idea?

When I make a mistake on logical reasoning, it seems to have to do with having misread something in the stimulus or answer choice. For example, reading "apples" instead of "some apples". There's a warning this has happened because none of the answer choices seem to make sense. The problem is when I go back to reread the passage and answers, I tend to make the same reading mistake again. However, when I reread the question the next day the mistake tends to be gone. Its almost like I'm temporarily stuck and I need to reboot somehow.

Has anyone experienced this and do you have any advice?

My study journey began in January and I plan on taking the August LSAT. I spent the first two months going through the LR Bible and was doing well in the practice sections at the end of each chapter. Just recently, I finished the 7Sage CC and felt confident whenever I drilled at the end of each section. Due to my anxiety surrounding this exam, I've been procrastinating when it comes to taking an actual PT and decided to take a small step toward my goal by taking an untimed LR section using the 7sage drilling feature. To my dismay, I was unable to focus on any of the questions and had to re-read over and over again. To compound the issue, nothing was clicking or making sense and it felt like I was reading gibberish. I got 15 out of the 26 questions incorrect and I feel inherently stupid. I didn't even have the mental energy to blind review and at this point I'm questioning if I'm truly cut out for this. Am I just brain fatigued? Any encouragement is welcome.

I am having trouble understanding how to approach MSS question types. Any tips on how to approach them?

After revisiting this question, I got the answer right but really struggled with it. Does anyone have any tips on how to quickly assess this question.

Hey everyone! My name is Erin and I am hoping to take the April and June 2024 LSAT! I am looking to start a discord group for motivation, studying, tips, and an overall community of positivity for us who want to take the April-June Lsat! I noticed there was a discussion posted prior but I don't think a group ended up being started! Let me know if any of you are interested! I know studying can be lonely and can often find yourself if periods of low motivation and it would be great to have a community to uplift each other !!
