I have a couple of questions regarding the generic study schedule provided by 7Sage. When I first started the curriculum, it went without a hitch. As I have moved through, I am getting more and more behind. I just arrived at the first block of logic games and fool proofing everything has really bogged me down. I'm understanding the games after going through the method, but it seems to be taking forever. Has anyone else ever bogged down on one section or gotten really behind? If so, how did you deal with it? Did you strive to catch up, move your test up, or what? I have found that it is nearly impossible to carve out the required amount of time to stay up with the schedule. Also, this brings up another question. I know the importance of going in order of the syllabus. However, I've been working LG exclusively for about a week. When things get bogged down, I find myself losing sight of the principles that I learned in previous sections when it had been a while since touching on them. How do others using the site deal with this? Should I be hitting LG, LR, and RC everyday, or a few days between them or what? It is important to note that I am planning on taking the December 2015 test and I've been attempting to study while working 40-50 hours a week. Been at the program since early December. Thanks for any input I might receive.
I keep reading posts where people say "figure out what type of logic game question is giving you difficulty and practice on that." But I can't figure out a particular question type I'm having difficulties with. I have improved a lot in logic games (it's my favorite lsat section) but it's usually the last question that gives me a really hard time. I feel like lsat writers have designed the last question to be the most time consuming... does anyone have a technique for the last logic game question? Should I put it aside and do other games first then come back to the last question on each game?
Hey, everyone. When you do the PTs for the second time (about 6 months after the first take), do you think a improvement in scores entails a genuine improvement or just that I remember the questions?
I am currently scoring -8 on LR, -2 to -4 on LG, but -15 on RC (Best of - 12).
With 2 weeks left. Do you guys suggest I work entirely on RC? People told me to work more on LR since it is two sections but RC is really killing my score...
My goal is to get above 160 (raw score 70) and right now my raw score is around 60ish. I have been working primarily on my LR by drilling and reviewing the videos but the score does not seem to be changing as much. I assume since my RC score is SO bad, I would have much more room for improvement. Is two weeks enough?
Anyone who has had similar experiences in RC please give me some advice. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I need your advice. I am going to take Feb LSAT. About a month ago, my scores on PTs were 158-162. However, I took 3 PTs in last 2 weeks and got about 150. I am getting lower scores on all sections. All of a sudden just before the Feb LSAT, getting lower score is very frustrating for me. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
JY or other admin personnel in charge please help me here.
JY mentioned in the training video that we have to practice logic game on the real-test-like sheets in order to train ourselves to write small and fast.
However, the logic game question sets I downloaded from this class all have spacious room to write on compared to 2007 PT ( the only PT I took so far). Shall I not practice with so much room on the paper?

I'm confused between C and D. I chose D because I just felt it made more sense, but I still have no idea why D is a better answer than C.
Does the conclusion also make sense if C is an answer just like D?
And if this question is about a necessary assumption instead of a sufficient assumption, can C be an answer?
Please someone enlighten me. Thanks!

I've been having trouble writing the logic out for this. I don't know why I can't make it come together. Can someone help me out?
How does that translate into the logic argument form?
never mind
Hey 7Sagers! One of our users is having a bit of trouble with this game and I thought you could help me out! Here's the game:
http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-37-section-3-game-1/
And here's the discussion:
7Sager: (Posted over a year ago) J.Y, When I wrote the rule that “If males are assigned to Veblen South, then Wisteria North is assigned males”, I rewrote the contrapositive as “If Wisteria North isn’t assigned males as in if they are assigned females, then Veblen South is not assigned males, as in they are assigned females.” This got me in a lot of trouble with question 5. I have never heard of conditionals being irrelevant. How can you tell, especially from this game?
J.Y.: (Posted over a year ago) Vs M –> Wn M contraposes to Wn F –> Vs F
How did that get you into trouble? It’s the correct contrapositive.
Different 7Sager: (Posted 2 days ago) because it forces F into Wn so for question five Ws is an M thereby making answer choice D incorrect. in fact none of the other answer choices actually work either as far as i can see. i would really like this answered as well please! i have been struggling with it forever!!! ARGH
Reading Comprehension is one of my worst sections (-7 to -9 wrong all the time per 35 minute section).
I really wanted to put in some work (before October 2015 exam). I have purchased the LSAT Trainer, as I've heard some really great things about it. I'm also going to be purchasing some Cambridge packages to drill later on. I've also..... taken up reading a variety of books so that I can enhance my reading ability.
In terms of practice, because I've already been through this once already, should I be focusing on timing? I really want to focus on effectiveness of my method. I know I should be looking at the structure and not the content. Marking MP, Author's opinion, Opposing Opinion, Background, ect. Should I focus, at least on the first sections, on really attempting to identify structure, and then introduce the timing later on?
Advice would be appreciated! :) Thanks.
Hey guys! For those taking the test in February, we have 2 WEEKS LEFT! How do you guys feel? And how are you planning on studying until D-DAY?
If Feb LSAT is undisclosed, how is it that the test creators know their questions are not flawed? Should I be troubled by this? lol
Hey everyone,
I'm studying for the June 2015 LSAT and wanted to know if there was anyone out there willing to study with me? I am located in Northern Maryland! Thanks.
Anyone else find they are making stupid mistakes on Logical Reasoning...?
I usually score between -6 to -8 on these sections when I do them timed.
Once I complete a Logical Reasoning section I re-print the section and do all the questions un-timed as Blind Review, without looking at the answer choices I circled before. (I still do the questions fairly quickly)
I find that when I go over them a second time, I only get 3-4 wrong... Does anyone else have this problem?
Any steps I can take to get these right on the first attempt? There seems to be no pattern as to the questions types that I am missing.

Hi guys,
I would like to know which games are usually harder(and/or time consuming) among 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. So far, I have seen 1st game is usually easier, and 3rd one is harder. Sometimes, 4th one is also harder. My problem is, while taking timed PT, somehow, if I pick up a harder one as 1st or 2nd game, then I cannot answer all questions( i.e., I cannot complete the last game, which might be even easier, and I end up getting lower score instead). Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Is anyone else having any problem with using the note function?
I've been taking notes on the note section at the bottom fine until today. But it doesn't show the cursor on it and still doesn't work even after I refreshed the page and restarted my laptop.
Help?
Is it normal to take 9-12 minutes on a passage that has 7-8 questions? This time is also spent annotating, underlining, and etc. I usually only get 1 wrong though, which I guess is a good thing? I'm not sure if I should pick it up more or stay around this range.
I have completed about 10 PTs and during my blind review I've noticed that 90% of my wrong answers come from making the same silly mistakes or misreading something. I've tried drilling and reviewing the course material. Any one else work through this? How did you power through? How do I confirm I really "got it" and won't repeat that mistake again?
Hi! I wanted to get a feel of everyone's study schedule for the last 2 weeks before the test (especially the full time working people). How many PTs? etc.
Looking for a study buddy in downtown Toronto for the June LSAT!
Anyone have any tips or assistance for getting more of the most difficult LR questions correct? Especially necessary assumptions?
This might be an odd question, and I am hoping someone on staff can shed some light on it for me. Does the February test differ from any of the other tests throughout the year? They never release the Feb. exam and I suddenly had a pang of hesitation thinking they might throw something new/different on it.
