Even though I'm going slow and parsing out passages, often times I get W, S, E questions wrong because I'm not making the same kinds of assumptions they make to get to that answer choice. Maybe it's also because I just started W,S,E questions like a week ago in the CC, so it's still a little new to me. What has helped you most with making reasonable assumptions? The assumptions explained in the lessons sometimes feel very arbitrary.

The shocking moment you're going through a passage, and totally certain you're going to get at least half the answers wrong but end up getting a perfect score. I closed my laptop and went to bed.

Just a PSA (but especially for girlies): Narcissistic abuse literally damages your brain and interferes with your reasoning and critical thinking abilities, processing speed, and memory. I went from being consistently getting around 95 percent correct to a much more variable percentage. Please preserve your brain power for studying for this test. Gaslighting can affect your ability to gauge the strength of premises, for example. Your goal is to figure out the validity of the arguments on the LSAT instead of the validity of someone's son's lies. Abusive people force you to reason like them, which does not translate to the best results on the LSAT. Having to sift through 27 lies a day is equivalent to the mental load of doing 27 extra practice questions that actually make you worse instead of better.

Some questions if anyone can help!

How similar is the interface and format to 7sage in general and to the Standard Font option on pts? For instance can I hide the timer? Are all the buttons for underlining, flagging, etc. in the same spots?

During the 2 minute breaks, can I get up?

Can I sip coffee while I'm taking the test or only during the breaks?

Can I eat while I'm taking the test or only during the breaks?

During the 10 minute break, can I for instance go to another room in my house to get food or brew coffee? Are there things I can't do during the break?

Thanks!

I'm looking to meet with others who are taking the test soon ( June / August )in the Boston area. I'm located near Framingham but open to commute / zoom meetings to create a more engaging environment preparing for the LSAT. My PT's are in the high 160s and want to be around others who are inspiring to do well on their upcoming test. Besides solo study, I think it's vital to have a group who keeps each other accountable in their journey. PM / leave a message here.

I see frequent discussions on here asking for study groups and study buddies but I don't really understand why. I feel like LSAT prep is such a solitary experience that requires one to be alone and focus, so from me to you all, why does having someone else help at all? I feel like it would be nothing but a distraction for me.

I signed up to take the April 2025 test with the target score of 165. Currently, the highest score I have been able to reach is a 160, though often times I can reach a 162 with blind review. This is after 4 months of studying and completing all of the 7sage material. With the window closing on paying a smaller fee for changing the dates, I cannot decide if I should take the test knowing I will likely score lower than my goal score or take it later when I am more confident and will only have to do the test once. Looking for any advice :)

I'm restarting Logical Reasoning and need help on trying to get a consistent schedule of self studying to get to Reading Comprehension. I work full-time. Should I take notes again? I went through the foundations and still do not understand everything. I find that some of the diagraming work, but mostly unhelpful and confuses me. Most things are vague in the course or seem contradictory when reviewing answers. I assume I will get it later on when I go back. How often should I review the lessons and how long should I work on a section. I have not taken a PT since my diagnostic. I am not certain where I am percentage wise. I wanted to know how long I should drill before moving on to the next section of question types and how often. I should do the drilling plus blind review for it?

I just started studying for RC. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it's best to (1) give myself extra time during drills so that I can "learn how to do it slow before learn how to do it fast," or should I (2) stick to the exact time that I'll have on test day so that I don't get too used to/comfortable with that extra time?

Just took my 3rd prep test (PT 120). Got a 169. LR -4, RC -4 and LR -1. Very Happy with this result as I am still pretty early in my studying journey.

The only caveat is that for what 7sage deemed to be the "experimental" section on this exam, I got -8. This LR section was noticeably harder, I have never gotten -8 in a section before.

I am just wondering whether this section was truly "experimental"? As getting a -8 on the one section that didn't get scored feels a bit like it invalidates my 169.

Any thoughts or experience on the so called "experimental" sections would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! I'm just beginning my studies for the LSAT and was wondering if someone could give me a comprehensive list of all of the question types (broken down between LR and RC). I'm getting conflicting answers on the internet and just want to be clear. (Sorry, I'm sure there is somewhere on 7Sage that has this exact answer but I am still figuring out how to navigate the site.)

Also while I'm posting, I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed after looking at the syllabus. Should I expect to go through every module? I just am not sure the best way to study. Practice tests + syllabus? Finish the syllabus first before drills or practice test? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I'm not too sure what is the difference between weaken questions and flaw questions. If we're describing a flaw that the author makes in their reasoning, for example that they take for granted an assumption, then wouldn't it be that if this answer were true (like the unstated assumption was actually false), then this would weaken the argument since it would undermine the conclusion? I feel like the intent of these two questions kind of overlap, like is pointing out a flaw in the author's argument not the same thing as trying to weaken it?

I am a non-traditional candidate who has no clue about LSAT and needs to prepare for the June test. How helpful is the 7Sage prep? Which other courses do you recommend? Do you recommend the live classes or personal tumor prep? Thank you.

I drive a lot, so listening to content is a good use of my time. Anyone know of a good audio book or podcast that reviews questions, strategies, etc that will help increase my score?

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to save more clean full PTs for future testing? The function currently can only create drills excluding PT151-158, I am wondering if there is a way to select specfic PT to exlude in order to create drills excluding more PTs.

Thank you.
