I am determined to get a 169+ on the LSAT and I am consistently scoring around 164-165. My very first score without studying was 147 so I have come a long way in the last 4 months (hardcore been studying for past 2). My last score was 165 but due to running out of time on one section, otherwise I would've pulled out a 169 or more. I am taking the September 24th LSAT and don't tell em to postpone because A. I can't anymore, B. I am going for this test. I need advice on how to break through this plateau and improve. Logic games I usually miss anywhere from 0-3 at the very most. Logical reasoning can be anywhere from 0-7 most of the time I miss like 2 in an early LR section and the later section I miss more. And then reading comp varies since if I understand a passage I can pull out missing zero but if its a hard passage I can miss in total anywhere from 2-8. I need a 169 or above and I want to hear from people who increased their score within 3 weeks. I am studying every single day for several hours a day. Any tips would be nice.

Did anyone find these LR sections difficult? I found them pretty tough.

Hi everyone,

I have an opinion question for people who may be in my position and already spoken to admissions teams about this topic.

I have an undergrad GPA of 2.8 from a state school-I did not take school very seriously and was working full time while going. Anyways, I graduated in 2011 and have since been to school again for a MA in education, with a GPA of 3.9. My PT LSAT scores are coming in around 158-165 depending on the day.

Does anyone have opinions on trying for T15 schools or going for a state school with a good local network? I have a small daughter as well so being somewhere cheaper/more scholarships would be helpful. Most T15 schools seem to have VERY high cost of living. Is anyone else relying on grad GPA for admission? Thanks!

I was curious to know if anyone has taken the C2 test and what they thought about its difficulty.

N.A Defender Type Answer Choices and Strengthen Eliminating the Weakness Answer Choices

I somehow feel that those two answer choices are very similar. Does anyone here have opinion on how those two answer choices differ? Those question types are both assumption type questions, and I assume that is why I feel those two are from similar (not the same) grounds.

For example, this is an made up argument but...

Assumption: This september, there are more people coming to watch movie in theatre A.

Conclusion: Therefore, theatre A would collect more profit this month.

Strengthen (Eliminating the Weakness AC) and NA AC could be both something like the theatre did not offer large price discount this September.

Hello! I studied LSAT 3 years ago, then I thought it was premature, so I went to a grad school.

I took 2013,December LSAT and at the time I received two LoRs from my undergrad professors, didn't apply. They are still in my LSAC account.

Now I am taking September LSAT. Do I need a new LoR to apply for 2017 or can I just use those ones I already have?

Thank you guys in advance!

Good luck for everyone!

I've been starring explanations that I would want to rewatch from various tests and assumed I'd be able to filter for them. But when I went to the question table, I see that we filter by the flag icon? and the videos that I had starred aren't pulling in. Any one know a work around?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to decide where to register for the LSAT.

These are the options:

College of Alameda

Marriott Walnut Creek

Samuel Meritt Health Center

Of the three I'm leaning towards College of Alameda because of the desk space but I'm concerned about the noise level. Almost all the reviews were great but one person wrote that he could hear the planes flying overhead from the airport. I feel like that would distract me.

If anyone had taken at any of these locations, please let me know what you think!!

Hey guys,

I am registered for the September LSAT and 7sage recommends i take preptest 39-44 before test day. I've done 36, 37 and 38 so far (timed). I'm wondering if I should take the 6 most recent preptests timed since the newer ones can be different from the older tests and no one wants surprises on test day.... if i follow 7sage recommendations, i would be oblivious to the new tests. Do preptests change dramatically enough for me to worry about this problem? Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm taking the 7sage starter pack and I just got to Must be True questions. I really want to go faster on my valid logic arguments, but I don't want to waist LSAT questions before I'm actually comfortable with valid logic formulas. I was wondering if there were any sort of website or books that could give me drills for logic problems. Thanks!

I was thinking about saving 3 (49, 77 and 78), but I am well within my scoring range and don't know if, because of that, I should use them. Just looking for some input. Thanks!

Hi, what is OPA JY is talking about in passage explanations?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Whenever I'm conducting a blind review on logical reasoning I always find that at the end of the test I've circled anywhere from 12-17 questions for review per section. I am usually scoring in the high 160s but I feel like this is too many questions to not be 100% sure about. Has anyone else found this?

Also do people do a blind review of LG and RC the same way? Usually I end us just redoing those entire sections for practise.

Hello,

I really liked the RC explanations, and just wondering do you have explanations for RC only?

Like, for the newest 10 PTs or something like that?

Thanks!

So, I just did timed pt and scored 16/24 on logic games (ran out of time on the 1st question of the last game). Do you think if i print the games from pt 1-35 and just drill them until I get them right under time conditions it will improve my score? Will 35 tests be enough? Ideally, obviously, I would like to get them all correct. Though being realistic about my skills, I am aiming to get 22/24 on the actual day.

So... my question is whether I'm making the right decision by taking the September LSAT. I have a 3.8 GPA and I'm aiming for a 164-166 on the LSAT... Now, from the last 5 PT's, I've scored 161 twice, 164 twice and a 162. I've noticed that on days where I wake up feeling really good, I end up getting a 164, which makes me feel like I'm literally RIGHT there at around a 164-166 range. The issue is that i'd wanna hit the score a few more times before test date so i can go in confidently. (Which can still happen given that i have a couple more weeks.) Another thing is that if I do miss my target score by a couple points, I can take it again in December with a bit more improvement so I'd have two tries at it. Anyway, i feel like this post is all over the place lol. What do you guys think? (I also want to take the test earlier so i can submit my apps earlier, which would give me an advantage in the application process.) I'd appreciate any feedback.

How many letters of recommendation is good? 2? 3?

I was just reviewing the comparative passage video by JY for PT 75 and had never encountered the approach of doing questions after passage A and then doing them again after passage B. Does anyone know where on 7sage I can find more about that strategy. I feel like I missed it somewhere. Do other 7sagers like this strategy/find it helpful? It seems like it would take extra time and I struggle with time on RC as it is. But perhaps it is like splitting game boards on LG where you make up the time on the questions?

I got a question for high scorers; when you see an argument like PT 22 - Section 4 - Question 21 that have sufficiency necessity confusion but you decide to not map it out, do you have a absolute certainty that it is sufficiency necessity confusion or you just have a feeling for it? I am asking because when I read the question I thought it probably is sufficiency necessity confusion but I was not 100% sure until I mapped it out during BR.

Note:

Hey guys! I hope your study is going well... I just have a few questions you may be able to help with:)

I have been a bit confused on the exact definition of a few common words that continue to appear on LR Answer Choices. For example, "It qualifies the conclusion of the argument." I have always thought that to qualify something, you make it more relevant, or more suitable. Or to be eligible for something. Is this what the LSAT writer means as well?

And another, "Takes for granted that there are only two possible alternative explanations." Does this mean that, the argument assumes that there are only two explanations, without supporting with evidence?

And lastly, is there a difference between "Phenomenon and Correlation?" JY's lesson explains that Correlation includes two events happening concurrently but many answer choices use the word, "Phenomenon" in a confusing way. They use it when the stimulus seems only to address simply a causation/correlation event.

I am sure there is some document out there that defines the LSAT's common words..if so, I would LOVE to see that:D

Thank you all for the help!!

Hi guys, after advanced logic I ended up skipping the logic games lessons because I wanted to focus on just lr. I am now going to start the logic games part of the curriculum (I have just done linear games). I was wondering if I would miss out on anything by just doing the reading comprehension and LR section on the trainer and skipping the logic games (because I want to use 7sage solely for that). What do you think, and are the lessons interlaced in anyway in the trainer?

I need help in understand why D is wrong. I understand why E is correct. My reasoning is below, if you think my reasoning is faulty please let me know!! Thank you!

So I diagrammed the stimulus as such:

SAT --> PCS --> --LPR --> SGM

--SGM --> LPR --> --PCS --> --SAT (this is the contrapositive)

A) This answer choice is going in the wrong direction. We cannot infer anything about squeezing foreign competitors out of the global market, from a country raising prices.

B) Faulty conditional logic. We know a chain of conditions that can lead to a country being squeezed out of the global market, however, we cannot use that condition as a sufficient condition. It takes a necessary condition and makes it sufficient and uses a previously used sufficient condition and makes that necessary. This is an incorrect reversal.

C) I eliminated this because of the clause "their foreign competitors must have adopted new manufacturing techniques", just because they lowered their production costs more rapidly it doesn't mean that they adopted new manufacturing techniques, it could have been because of some other reason.

D) This is what I am unsure of. I said this is wrong because it is comparative, it's bout what happens to a particular country not comparing both countries. However, I think two countries are being compared which contradicts my whole reasoning. So, if someone could help me out in understanding why D is wrong, I would be most appreciative.

E) This is the contrapositive of the first two premises and thus the correct answer.
