Hello! The Content Team at 7Sage has been teaching the new version of our RC curriculum. You can find the archives here. Just search for any RC class that Albert, Kevin, or I've taught.

One request we got during class was to share the flowchart that we used. So here it is!

Hi everyone, I'm taking the LSAT on June 7 remotely. I received the email from LSAC today saying that the LSAT Writing has opened up. Admittedly, I hadn't done much research on the LSAT Writing up until today, but this sentence in the email struck me: "Given the large volume of test takers, we strongly encourage you to complete your LSAT Writing as soon as it becomes available." I sort of scrambled today to figure out how to approach the LSAT Writing section, but I couldn't find anything on 7Sage or on the LSAT Reddit saying that there is a "better" day to take the writing section, or that taking it earlier is better. Is there something I'm missing? Is it better to take it earlier because there might be more proctors available? I don't really know anyone that has taken the LSAT or is a lawyer, so any insight is much appreciated, thanks!

I’m looking for a study buddy in the Dallas area. I am interning there this summer and will be living in the downtown area. If anyone is interested please reach out- I don’t care what you’re scoring or anything, it is more so for accountability and to work through hard questions with it.

Hi all, instead of writing individually, here is the link for anyone who msged me about discord link, and/or if you are still looking for a accountability and beyond group, here is the server link: https://discord.gg/AWekDrtwHc

Keep getting this message when I try to use the autobuilder. I'm giving it like 20 tests to pull from and a bunch of question types, what's wrong? #help

Hello everyone, I apologize if this information is listed elsewhere. If anything, I am hoping to understand strategies being employed at large and their results.

I am going through the older LSAT course. For each question type, the section begins with a brief summary of the question type followed by example questions and then a series of drills ranging in difficulty. These drills all pull from prep tests 17 - 35 from my understanding with the exceptions of some that generate from 40 - 60s.

In perusing the comments for each drill, there seems to be a fair mix of those who time those drills and those who don't. Which should I be doing?

That may be a loaded question because 'should' almost certainly depends on what works best for the individual (unless, of course, the instructor suggested one way to my ignorance). Whether to time or not seems ultimately to present a tradeoff between ensuring a base-level understanding and timing. Improving timing will have not benefit if the questions are not correct. And, to a lesser extent, your accuracy in questions can only get you so far under time constraints.

So, what has worked (and is working) for everyone? Up to this point, I haven't timed any of the drills. I was planning on completing each question-type section and doing timed drills of prep tests 1 - 16. But is it wasting practice tests to not be timing every single one? I would so appreciate hearing everyone's strategies - especially if it resulted in great results. Thanks!

Hey I am studying for the August LSAT and was wondering if anyone was in the area looking for study buddies ? Let me know, PM me if you can!

Hi! For some reason 7Sage is not allowing me to access the drills and prep tests even though I have purchased the law hub advantage subscription. On law hub it ways that my account is active, so I'm not sure how to connect it. Any help would be appreciated!

For quite a while my LSAT score was stagnating in the low 150s flash forward to three weeks ago I took a prep test and scored a 156 which was the best i have ever done. I have done two more pts excepting them to be the same or higher than my best pt they were both low 150s again. I am struggling to go from 150s-160s any advice it feels like I improve do badly and loose my progress I registered for august but I worry that I will not be consistently scoring in the 160s goal score of 165.

JY and a bunch of 7Sage tutors promote a quick pass of questions between passages A and B. What do you guys think? I feel like the time tradeoff to eliminate a few answers is questionable.

Hello there, I have just purchased the core plan a few days ago. However I am wanting to refund the subscription. I have come to find out that I must have LawHub advantage to simply have access to 7sage. I would rather just use the LawHub Advantage, how can I do this?

Hello. I am applying to schools in the fall and have a 3.84 LSAC GPA which dropped in my last semester of college from a 3.9 because I got a C+. I know that it's just one lone grade, but I basically got disowned by my parents because of cultural problems (during the week before finals) and I failed my finals. Considering that if I didn't get the C+, I would be competitive for the T-14, should I write an adendum?

Hello,

I recently took the April LSAT and scored signfiicantly lower than I did on practice tests. I was averaging 168-173 on a number of PTs, but scored a 158 on the real thing!! I didn't buy Score Preview so am stuck with that score.

I've started studying again and have taken two tests - I got a 175 on one and a 171 on the other. My GPA was a 3.80 in college.

In short I'm wondering if my 158 will ruin any chance that I get accepted into a T14. I know they report the top score, but this is a pretty glaring result, does anyone have any insights here?

Hi all,

I have been studying for 2 months now and my score has not been all over the place it seems from between 145-148. Any advice on how I can change my studying to get to my goal score 160 by October. As of right now I just started using 7sage and I am going through the curriculum and have taken two exams averaging a 148. I just feel stuck and overwhelmed.

Hi friends, new learner here! I'm on the Skill Builder section of the Complex Arguments foundational lessons (https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/skill-builder-complex-arguments/) and am quite lost on how to parse out Question 5.4:

"We see that our village solely trains personnel for specific trades. These individuals' lives would change dramatically if the programming failed. So it follows, proposition to build a new enterprise—although challenging—truly has merit. Sure a blacksmith center in the village after some sweat, monetary donations, and perseverance might be a reality. It just seems making a pitch for a blacksmith center really matters."

I've been reading and re-reading this question trying to figure out A) what this passage is even saying [it doesn't make sense to me!], and B) how the premises/conclusions were determined.

My initial reaction was the following:

Appreciate any help here! TY :-)

So, I'm curious what the most effective drill methods were for all of you. I'm giving myself 3 months to study and this is my first week of studying. I'm thinking right now to spend 1.5 hours of drilling a day but I'm curious how others have approached this and how effective you felt your method was... Thank you!

I was wondering if the conditional indicators are used in the logical reasoning questions, or is it just for the logic games that are no longer going to be on the LSAT. I am preparing for the next cycle and don't want to cover anything that won't help me. Thanks!

Feel free to duplicate and use as an aid in reviewing!

Each database includes a Default (Kanban) view to track how many times you have reviewed each problem, and a table view where you can sort problems by the reason you made the mistake. Each table also has a column for you to note important takeaways you noticed when reviewing the problems.

I hope this will be useful for some of you!

at first i hated them now I can't wait for the section.

I feel really in "flow" when i do logic games and rarely ever dread it unlike LR and RC.

Anyone else feel this way?

I am studying for the August LSAT, trying to make it consistently into the mid 170s. I average about -3 to -4 on RC and -1 to -3 on LR. What would be your recommendations to try to consistently go -1/0 on LR and bring RC consistently to -3 or better.

Hey guys I feel like Im able to solve questions but sometimes watching the videos I realize I did not make inferences upfront and split into game boards which would literally cut the time I take to do questions in half.

How can I get better at identifying and pushing out inferences up front from a set of rules?

i took my first two PT (other than my diagnostic) over a year ago after about 2 weeks of studying using the powerscore books, and scored a 165 and 168 respectively (which i know are more than decent!). i took a break from studying since school & work were super busy. i started up again earlier this month with 7sage and am planning to take it in september, but i feel like i'm not improving at all or even getting worse, especially in LR. my LR scores are almost the same as my initial diagnostic and two PTs last year. when i revise my wrong answers, i feel like i grasp the individual question but am unable to reapply the theories/methods elsewhere.

i'm aiming for a score in the low 170s. any advice for this kind of plateau—or should i just keep at it and be patient (i am a very impatient person when it comes to my studies)? or should i change up my method (slow down w the curricula, drill more, etc.)? i've just been going through the curriculum and i'd say i am about 70% through.

sometimes i feel like i just need to chill and take everything in but i physically cannot be chill in general. and comparing myself to my diagnostics last year & how quickly i made progress back then makes me a little frustrated. this post is a bit long but if there's any advice for how to better frame my studies/approach in general, i would really appreciate it.

Can anyone explain how C is a better option than D? (No official explanation posted yet)

This question doesn't have an explanation, so I wanted to see if anyone could back up my reasoning.

The flaw of the question stem is that it confuses necessary conditions for sufficient ones. Correctly formatting the script as well as having it be submitted by an agent is necessary for the script to not be discarded, but it does not guarantee that it won't be. There could be another reason, such as that it arrived too late, that it would be discarded.

A is not the correct choice because it is a valid argument.

B is not correct because it's a different flaw. It takes for granted that Jon is a good cook. You can also argue that it's flawed in that the necessary condition "delicious" is subjective.

C is correct, although its a bit tricky. It confuses sufficient conditions for necessary ones. Exercising daily or quitting smoking will improve Bob's health, but he doesn't need to do either one to improve his fitness level. He could lose weight by dieting for example. I think this is what makes this question so difficult (5 circles).

D is incorrect because it's a different flaw. It confuses the sufficient conditions for one argument with another. A car not having a permit or having an expired one are sufficient conditions for police being allowed to ticket. The Police being allowed to ticket does not mean they will ticket; They could give you a warning or maybe do nothing.

E is incorrect because its a different flaw. It takes for granted that because a dog can do advanced tricks it will respond correctly to basic commands. It's possible that a dog could do a backflip but would refuse to sit.

let me know if my reasoning is accurate - thanks!

I created a new 7sage account because I decided to take the LSAT. However, my lawhub account is connected to my old 7sage account and I cannot connect it to my new 7sage account.
