Hey smarties!

I am trying to post things that are funny and light hearted to bring smiles to some of you going through a rough time.

The other day was a rough one. I did a PT and my head wasn't in it and I scored well below my average. Needless today I started crying, like ugly cry when Mufasa in the Lion Kings dies. It was a disaster. My roommate came home at that time and his only solution was to feed me I guess.

He took me out for a burger. This was a big deal because I don't eat junk food at all. It was the best burger I ever had. I went home and wrote another prep test and scored higher than my average.

All days can be turned around. Don't stress over a bad PT, eat a burger instead (3

I hope this picture makes you smile and makes you believe in the power of burgers.

I need help with my RC section. I keep doing terrible (10-12 wrong per prep test). Every other section is below 6 wrong which is where I want to be. Any advice?!

hello everyone, I am averaging in the 160-164 range and trying to bump my average a couple points before the September test. I recently took a prep test and score a 153!, I do not understand, I did terrible in every section, lows across the board. I don't know why this happened but now i'm seriously reconsidering taking the test in September. Has this kind of random drop happened to anyone else, I am freaking out here

I came across this today and I had a good laugh. I wanted to share this with the rest of you to give you a little laugh and some encouragement to keep going!

Personally 19 - 21 are my favourites!

Hey folks,

I'm in some need of advice! I took my first PT out of curriculum (PT 36) and scored 157 (diagnostic: 143). But now, my score has dropped to 152, 154. My LR sections can range from -12 to -5. I really want to get it to -2 or -3! I need some help on getting my score to finally break 160!

I ran into this on a Principle question. I diagrammed it as a unless condition, I was not completely sure though and really nervous about it.

Is it the same as either or/or not both? I looked in my notes for the group 1-4 lessons and I didn't find it in there.

Please someone explain to me why B is incorrect and A is correct. I don't understand in the slightest bit and I have read so many explanations but still don't get it. B seems to match the reasoning in the original statement.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you guys know which Prep Tests have reading comp sections with comparative passages? I want to practice those but I can't seem to find the PT's that have them. Thank you guys in advance.

Anyone else think that game was the easiest game, once you recognized that it was a weird pattern game? I've heard many people complain about it but I still don't understand why.

Hi,

I'm on my study break and well..... bored.

I figured at this point you've decided that you are going to take it or you aren't sooooo how many people on 7sage are taking the September LSAT? And where? Maybe people can meet up with each other before and/or after the test! On that note, I am taking mine at Brooklyn College (I think?.. I should probably check...).

Oh and 39 more days. Enjoy!

I took the test 2 years ago, but unfortunately didn't score the best to my ability. Even though I scored low, I still had confidence going into the exam. After buying 7sage, my score has increased 8-10 points. It has been consistent the past couple of months, which leads me to believe that I'm ready for September. However, I'm having severe anxiety the close I get towards the test date. Granted, I'm currently moving to a new state, which is adding on a lot of stress because I believe it will interfere with my studying. I still think I'm ready, but I have a fear that I will blank out the day of the test. Anyone else feel this way? Anyone know how to relieve this stress and anxiety?

Greetings everyone,

I have been studying for the LSAT since May 19th. I was studying an average of 6-8 hours a day the first two months of my Prep (rarely taking a break day). Every since mid-July, I have been studying an average of 5-7 hours a day. I have been consistently scoring in the high 160s with a couple 170s. However, in the past 10-14 days, I have been experiencing fatigue, and I believe it is very much affecting my score because during review I spot my mistakes easily. I was just taking Preptest 61, and even though I still managed to score a 167, I felt a very strong mental fog throughout the test. I really need good advice on how to overcome my fatigue and burnout, so I could regain my motivation and continue preparing for the September test.

I was not sure about the question sentence...it says "If three subzones in all are designated for retail use and a subzone in Z2 is designated for housing, then which one of the following is allowed?"

But zone1 cannot have R, why it says "If three subzones in all..." I thought it's just impossible...where did I misread the question sentence?

Hi everyone,

Every Sage that I've heard from talks about discipline and great study habits as being key to success on the LSAT. During a study break, I watched the video below and thought about the discipline and habits that are required to be an Olympian. We probably won't be famous or receive a gold medal for our LSAT scores, but we can learn a lot about the work ethic and positive attitudes that Olympians cultivate.

All the best to you in your continued studies!

I'm having hard time to solve substitution Qs like PT58,S2,Q12 and PT59,S1,Q10.

Is there any effective tactic to crack this kind of the Qs?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks in advance!

Hey 7sagers,

This Wednesday, July 27, at 9 pm ET, Charlie Melman (@cmelman95 ) will host a webinar in which he’ll tell you how—and how not—to increase your score from the middle of the pack to the 99th percentile.

Charlie studied for the LSAT from September, 2015 to June, 2016, and along the way he learned a lot about the test, how to study for each section, how learning works in general, and—perhaps most importantly—how to manage YOURSELF through the arduous study process.

He’ll talk about the bad things he did, the good things he did, and how he approached every section. Drop by on July 27 at 9 pm ET, and he’ll be happy to take all questions!

Is it just me or was this section more difficult than most ?

I notice the list hasn't been updated for quite a few weeks, where can I find a full list of 7sage tutors?

So the correct answer is A. I'm really confused by the answer choices and the stimulus.

When I read it, I initially thought this is an extreme example that uses examples within examples because the whole point of the example is that people would elect to feel 75% of their age. However, the example keeps going back with the ages and I don't think his ultimate conclusion is representative of how someone at 48 years old would feel.

My issue with A is it says projecting many responses from many individuals, and while the stimulus acknowledges that it's example is using a hypothetical person not all the diversity of age responses recorded.

B) looked very attractive to me

C) Also looks attractive, but I think there isn't an overly sweeping generalization, it is making a generalization from recorded responses.

D) The first part of this looks good to me, but the author never claims one of the statements is false, he uses it to prove a point.

E) There is nothing about experimenter expectations of respondents, or manipulation of responses, so I think this answer choice is irrelevant.

PLEASE HELP!! Because I hate this question and am really stuck. :/

Here is a list of every LSAT question classified by type. It is sortable by LR type, RC passage content categories, and LG type. It's kind of hard to find on Cambridge, so I thought I would post it here--especially because everyone has been asking for lists like these recently. (The terminology may be a little different from what you're used to, but you should be able to make it work.)

Good luck!

Hi all!

Great advice on here, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this siutation. I've heard that LSAC can and does make some common mistakes calculating GPA. I have a fairly high UGPA, but some courses I took in high school bring that down (if only I had known then...). I expected this, but it seems like they brought my GPA down more than I expected. My LSAC gpa is lower than what I calculated on 7Sage LDAS GPA calculator. The two that I'm concerned have been miscalculated are one 2-quarter class where I received a B and B- and another where I received an A- and B+. The first has three credits listed under B and one under C while the other has all four credits listed under B. Everything else looks like I had expected.

This may be correct, but I'm obviously unfamiliar with the process. Does anyone know if this is the correct calculation? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone has ever noticed a trend with june and september lsats being similar in difficulty? Or that the june lsat is ever in any way similar to the september lsat?

Giving the test this September so just wondered :)

When you see a conditional statement in either the stimulus or the answer choice, do you always translate to the contrapositive to check if it matches your pre-phrase? I noticed that I almost never translate to the contrapositive, and that may be why I get hard sufficient assumption questions wrong. It seems like you HAVE to translate to the contrapositive because that's how the test designers make it more difficult.

A good example is PT73, S2, Q12. The correct answer as well as the most tempting have to be translated to the contrapositive to fill the gap, and the translation also gets at the nuance in their differences.

What does everyone think?

Emailed a professor who I'd really love a letter from but he hasn't responded. Sent the email two weeks ago, should I follow up or just wait another few weeks and see what happens? Don't wanna annoy him, but at the same time I'd like to have him do it now before the semester starts. Not really sure how to proceed, if anyone has been in a similar situation I'd really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

This is a Method of Reasoning question.

I really need help in understanding why answer choice C is wrong. I understand why A is correct and why the other ones are wrong, my reasoning is below:

A) The premise is more people would put money in their savings accounts, the challenge is the past initiative with money being diverted from personal savings and net personal savings remaining unchanged.

B) The disagreement is with the author and a group of policymakers not "among policymakers".

C) I really don't know, this answer choice looks good to me. Isn't the author saying it is more likely to fail because of initiatives in the past did not bring about the change the policymakers desire. Would this answer choice be incorrect because it is too definite?

D) This one can be eliminated because we do not know that this group of policymakers are the same policymakers that advocated the past initiatives. Perhaps they were young kids during that time and not policymakers.

E) The author is not disputing the assumption that a program to encourage personal savings is needed, he is trying to dispute the fact that it will work. He indicates it is not likely to work because of attempts in the past that failed.
