Hi I was wondering if someone can give examples, and ways to tell a difference between the two argument structures, and how to tell them apart in a stimulus.
Premise: B Conclusion: A -> C (missing assumption: B -> C)
versus
Premise: A Conclusion: B->C (missing assumption: A-B).
Beyond happy to be done 🥳
Took my first diagnostic in October of 2023 - roughly 1 whole year before I took the October exam a couple weeks ago.
Though 146 was my lowest, I've scored PTs in the 150s and a 180 and everything in between. I just wanted to give hope to those of you with low diagnostics that a 170+ is possible with proper study and hard work and to remind those of you still on your LSAT journey that progress is not linear and is rarely ever truly consistent.
Thanks a ton to 7Sage and to JY for all the explanations, the drilling app, and the analytics UI. Couldn't have done it without you guys.
I'm a non-URM with a 4.0 and a 172. PT average about the same with a few (recent) scores between 174 and 177. Is it worth taking again in November? My top choices are Michigan and Northwestern.
I started studying by taking a diagnostic and scored a 160. After a week or so of fundamentals, I took a PT on an off day and got a 152 which bothered me a lot, but I decided I wouldn't PT until completing the courses and understanding the concepts. The day after completing the courses (about 1.5 months later), I scored a 161 or 162. Since then, I have done 4 more prep tests, all 4-7 days of studying apart, and have gotten a 160 every single time. The past 2 times I have taken a PrepTest, I have felt really good about each section. I usually always have 5-10 minutes left over every section where I go back and review the questions I have flagged, and regularly get to review every question I'd flagged.
I'm taking the November LSAT in just two weeks and I'm a bit disheartened that I have been working for 2 months and making virtually no progress. I'm desperate for any advice or ways to renew my approach.
Can I get better at inference, MBT, MBF, MSS questions through doing the LG core curriculum? It seems LG is all inferences and I would say these types of questions are consistently my biggest time sucks and it's not even close.
I’m currently scoring in the 140s and looking for a study buddy from 7Sage who is scoring around the same range to do some LR questions together. Ideally, it would be great to find someone who enjoys learning verbally so we can discuss and process thoughts together. If you’re interested, please leave a comment or DM me! I’m in the PST time zone and usually available either in the morning or after 6 pm. Thank you!
Hello friends, I have been studying over the last 4 months and have seen a SIGNIFICANT improvement on my LR, currently averaging about 1-4 incorrect per section. However, my Reading comp has remained horrible, averaging about 10-13 incorrect per section. I have tried many different reading comp methods over the last couple of months to no avail. I am very desperate for any RC tips you may have since the November test will likely be my final test before applying to law school. I am currently sitting around a 162 and if my RC was similar to that of my LR, I would be able to score around a 169-170 range, hence the urgency.
Taking the November LSAT and looking for someone to hop on Zoom and review questions together. If you're interested let me know. Took the October LSAT and got in the mid 160s, recently PTing in the low 170s.
Hi everyone, I've studied for the LSAT for a while now, with the following fresh PTs remaining: a few in the 90s, two in the 80s, and one in the 70s. I plan to take the November LSAT and want to have a few remaining for the January if needed. Should I save one or two 90s for January and use the 70s and 80s now? Or is it better to remain accustomed to the most recent PTs (90s) before November?
Any suggestions appreciated!
If so, have you found that it helps and is worth the money? Any possible recs?
I just received my October test results and my score was nowhere close to where I need it to be and was even worse than PT results. I also had technical issues during my last section of the exam which definitely affected my score. I am currently registered for the November LSAT but will likely push it back to January because I know this amount of time with a different study approach would allow me to improve my score.
Any help here would be much appreciated, as I have not looked into tutors much at all before today. It's been a frustrating day to say the least but I know I can't change anything and just have to move forward.
I took the September LSAT and got a 154. Then I got a 150 on the October LSAT. Should i cancel the October LSAT score? Please let me know because I am super conflicted.
Greetings 7Sagers!

I am trying to figure out whether or not I should cancel my October LSAT. Sadly I scored one point lower than I did on my June exam. Since it is only one point, should I let it be or should I cancel it since it is a lower score and I really only want to show my best score?
I got the score I was hoping for today, and I want to say thank you to 7sage! But I also want to leave some videos for posterity that motivated me during my studies. I came across this story when doing some googling about an absence of evidence flaw question regarding Fermat's last theorem.
Some context:
Andrew Wiles describing proving Fermat's last theorem:
When should I start drilling questions? I am about halfway through the foundations, only learning the basics so not sure if I am prepared enough to start answering actual questions. Should I wait until after I finish the foundations? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
Anyone in the Philly area want to create a study group?
I began studying for the LSAT in January of this year and bought my 7sage subscription in February. I began studying off and on (life happens) until August. Once August rolled around, I took off from my job to study really hard for a month before the October LSAT. I spent hours a day studying and would take one practice test a week for a month. For reference, my diagnostic score was a 156, and I had taken 2 PT in June with a score of 156 and 154 respectively. AS I began to study and take my weekly PT in the month leading up to the October test. I had the following 3 scores in order: 154, 152, 157 (BR: 156, 158, 157).
I just got my October score back today an I scored a 162, which is the highest score I've ever received (I've never gotten a BR score that high) That puts me at the 81st percentile and I am super happy with my score. The law school I want to attend (though please understand I'll be applying to more than just this school) has a 50th percentile of 156 and a 25th percentile of a 159. I'll have a 3.99 GPA by the time I graduate so I have no worries there.
While I haven't continued such a strenuous study regime. I do practice problems once a week as the head of the Pre-Law LSAT study group on my college campus. So I could quickly pick back up studying to improve if needed.
Given all that information, should I go back in and try to take the exam again for an even higher score, or should I take my score I have with my super high GPA, along with a really good personal statement and try to get into school with what I have?
All of your responses are greatly appreciated and I wish you all the best of luck on your own LSAT journeys! You can do it!
Hi Everyone
I need some advice. Last year I had decided that I wanted to take the LSAT and go to law school. So I had taken the January 2024 and February 2024 LSAT and got 145s on each which is not the best score. From November to March, both of my grandparents were in and out of Hospital. They both passed away, one before my exams and one after. I affect me a lot because I was very close to them. I should have never taken the LSAT then because I mentally was not prepared. I spent most of my time in the ICU and although I did try to study, my mind was somewhere else completely. I know that the two LSAT's I took were not a representation of who I am as a test taker and my ability to go to law school, but do law schools know that or care?
I have been studying for the November LSAT. My tutor suggested taking the November LSAT and if I do poorly then I would study for the January one. I don't know what to do. I know it looks bad to take the LSAT many times and 4 is a lot. Would law schools be understanding to me potentially taking the LSAT 4 times due to my circumstances? Should I take the November LSAT?
Thank you in advance!
Hi all! I received my results and I am extremely disappointed. I had scored a 156 and 157 previously and I just scored 156 again. I really want to break 160, although I had broken 160 on multiple prep tests. I am totally confused and shocked. I felt that I had a great grasp on the questions. Can anyone give any advice? I previously registered for the November LSAT just in case, so I have just over two weeks to lock in.
This morning I got my score back for the October LSAT. I have been consistently scoring in the mid to high 150’s even though I have been studying for about 3 months. I felt decent going into October but knew I was also taking the November test. To be honest, I was really just hoping for a low to mid 150’s on this test so I could have the confidence to do good on the November test. As I got my score back this morning, I did not perform well at all. I have no idea if I just didn’t settle into the test well or what happened but to say that I am discouraged is an understatement.
I have no idea how what to do in order to properly prepare for the November test. Obviously my study patterns did not pan out. I would appreciate any tips what so ever on what to do or how to move forward.
Thank you.
hi everyone! i just took my diagnostic and did a BR. i signed up for 7sage. does anyone have any advice for a beginner lsat taker? Also does anyone have advice on when to drill while completing the curriculum? Thank you!
These are my two largest analytical priorities. Currently, I am drilling, preptestting, wrong answer journaling and reviewing core curriculum. I am wondering what else I should be doing to improve these.
Hello, I plan on taking the exam in February and then another one in June. However, I do not feel prepared at all unless something starts to click for me until February. Would it be better just to forego the February test feeling unsure/ under prepared and just take the June lsat where I will feel better prepared?
I've been studying for quite a while (since May but seriously since August ) and though in the beginning I made great stride with practice test score improvement, I am now a an impasse with progression. Ive read the LR bible, Loophole and LSAT trainer and i feel like a dunce. I cannot get to 160, does anyone have advice on getting past the wall of no improvement?
