So I’m getting ready to take the October LSAT and I’ve realized I’m not even close to ready. My entire time drilling, I’ve only ever done LR. I’m in a bad spot. I’ve barely touched on RC but I am hoping my stride for mastery of LR will help my skills on RC. I suppose this leads me to ask what is my best strategy to getting prepared for this test? How many questions should I be drilling per day? To add to the frustration, I’m not sure I’m getting much better at the question types that I most struggle with. I’ve only done a few practice tests since I feel like drilling would be more effective because it’s targeting my weaknesses. Any advice is appreciated.

I am studying with a group and it gets kind of confusing and inconvenient that if i drill/PT in the new format it doesnt have any records of questions ive already seen.

If anyone can help explain this I would truly appreciate it!! I've been trying to understand it for the past hour but still can't grasp why the right answer is right. I've watched the explanation video on 7sage and read power score's explanation but don't understand their conditional diagrams.

Conclusion: Thus, without increased funding from sources other than profit-driven institutions, the chemistry department is unlikely to gain the prestige that only achievements in basic science research confer.

Evidence/Premise:

Diagram explained by Power-score:

Premise: Advances in basic research -> More money

Premise: Gain prestige -> Advances in basic research

Conclusion: Gain prestige -> Money from sources other than Big Pharma.

Assumption/Pre-phrase: More money -> Money from sources other than Big Pharma

This is my new Diagram while reworking the problem:

SABR = Significant advances in Basic Research/ Only achievements in basic research confer

SFBR = Secure Funding for Basic Research

GP = Gain the Prestige

IF (NP) = Increased Profit from Non profits and non Pharmaceutical companies

Premise 1: SABR -> SFBR

Premise 2: GP -> SABR

Conclusion: GP -> IF (NP)

So here is where I am lost. I originally only had Premise 1 and the Conclusion diagramed because I thought "that only achievements in basic science research confer" was a part of the Conclusion. But I am assuming because of the necessary indicator "only" we need to add another premise and thats where premise 2 comes in? But I'm confused where we connect the pre-phrase/missing link/assumption because there are 2 "GP's". If anyone can please help explain because I know understanding this will be helpful towards future questions with the same difficulty and concept. I tried understanding it without conditional diagrams as I would approach it like any other NA question, but that was difficult as well.

Hi everyone! 7Sage Alum here. After a year or so of grueling practice, I finally got a score I wanted to shoot my shot for a T-14 this past August - a 170! I'm a bit nervous applying because I took the LSAT three times, with 2 previous attempts with logic game and the August one without (does that also matter? will the 170 be discounted in anyway because it was in the new format?) I wondering if I need to write an addendum to explain what happened and if so, what to write in it.

For more details, here is my LSAT history: November 23: 159, January 24: 163, August 24: 170

Im not sure there is already an active study group for this, but if anyone wants to get together and go through some common LR questions types and share some tips and tricks for best strategizing methods, that would be awesome! Some of the live classes kinda do this and they have super helpful seeing how others walk through questions.

Hi guys!

I am a bit confused on how to use "without" when writing out conditionals. I understand that you negate the sufficient when you see the word without, but what if the statement says:

John always sleeps without socks.

Isn't "always" a necessary indicator?

Would it be diagrammed as:

sleep -> /socks (this one makes more sense to me)

or

/socks -> sleep

Another example, I know that if the statement says: You can't come home without making money, the conditional would be written out as:

come home -> made money.

Just a bit confused with the "always... without..." statement I mentioned initially.

Thanks!

hello i am looking to start a study group on discord or teams leave send info and i will create one.

I'd like to print Preptests to do blind reviews. How can I print in 7sage?

Does the AI drill builder feature draw from recent PT's (like the 5 most recent)? I want to make sure I can take them without using questions that I will use within my next few prep tests.

I have been doing a couple of NA questions and I have noticed that the right answer choice sometimes sounds stupid but most of the time is linked to something said in the conclusion. Would this always be the case? Is the right answer for NA questions always linked to something that was mentioned in the conclusion?

I feel like i have been getting these confused. Could someone explain the approach to solving these? I know the NA has to be true but what does that even mean I think im overthinking these questions.

Does anyone know how the exact strategy for weakening questions? I've listened to every approach but continue to get the the most easiest Weakening questions wrong.

I am not getting any patterns in my wrong answer choices other than it is the hardest questions that I get wrong with a couple of mistakes on the easy ones. I am scoring 165 consistently on my BR, what should I do to improve this?

Hello everyone,

I am looking to form a dedicated study group with fellow test-takers who are aiming to score 160+ within the next two months and ultimately reach 170 and above by the end of this year. If you are serious about achieving a high score and are committed to studying full-time or part-time, this group is for you! The focus will be on Reading Comprehension (RC) and Logical Reasoning (LR), with separate groups meeting on different days to ensure comprehensive practice and focused study sessions. We will meet online via Google Meet, twice or three times a week.

This study group will offer a collaborative learning environment where we can support and motivate each other to ensure that every single member achieves a high score. We will engage in regular practice sessions, share resources and study materials, and provide constructive feedback and discussion. I am looking for individuals who are committed to studying full-time or part-time, aiming for a score of 160+ within the next two months, and are serious and motivated learners who can actively participate and contribute. Those applying for the next fall term are especially welcome, as we can work together towards our common goal.

I am in the Pacific Time Zone and can dedicate time from 9 AM to 4 PM every weekday.

If you are interested in joining this study group and are ready to work hard to achieve your goals, please reach out to me with a brief introduction about yourself, your current score range, and your availability. Let's work together to achieve our target scores!

Hello Everyone,

I am new to 7Sage Lsat and would like to know how to use the program. I am currently registered to take the LSAT Test in November 2024.

Posting here once again to source ideas for my LSAT study group. We do study groups (loophole and PT BRs) and game nights (kahoot and jeopardy) on a near daily basis but if anyone else has ideas please lmk. We have also been having some sessions dedicated just to conditional logic. Can add people if there’s interest in joining. I also have the links to a couple other groups so can invite people to those too

Looking to increase by score by at least 15 points in the November test. I just really need words of encouragement and ways you guys are able to stay commitment and focused. What are some techniques you guys use? If anyone is interested in creating a study group please let me know!

Update: I created a discord and I'm still in the middle of setting everything up. Both for those of you who want to join!

https://discord.gg/JCKBH4BkEp

LINK IS UPDATED AND SET TO NEVER EXPIRE

If you are having issues joining please DM me!

do you think its better to take the same drill with the same questions or to take drills that resemble the test with the questions being mixed in terms of being really prepared for test day and the actual format that we are tested with

Hello,

I am writing the November LSAT and I am genuinely so confused and over whelmed with how to get started. How often do I need to do a practice test how do I work through all the material? They removed logic games, how do I tackle the other sections?

Looking for study buddies to help each other out in preparing for the exam. I currently plan on taking it in Feb but all depends on how i feel.

Hi all!

I am taking the April 2025 LSAT, and I am looking to start a study group. Regardless of when you plan to take the LSAT, I think that this may be able to benefit some people.

Hello. I am confused about the acceptance decision timeline for law schools. Since most have rolling admissions and Deans are eager to know as early as possible who is accepting, how is this done in practical and professional terms for the applicant? Is it typical and okay to wait until the deposit deadline to reply? Are you asked to explain that you are waiting for other decisions soon after a decision is made? This is a different process from undergrad so I am hoping to understand how to handle this in a respectful way. Thanks.

I need help understanding why the correct answer choice (A) is correct for this question. I understand that all the other answer choices are terrible (leaving A as the only answer choice), but I still feel like A is too strongly stated to be a necessary assumption for the argument.

In my thinking, a necessary assumption for the argument is that the econ explanation and psychological explanation are mutually exclusive from each other. Answer choice A seems to go way beyond this and say that the econ explanation is excludes all other explanations (not just the psychological one).

What's wrong with my thought process? Thanks!

Update: these sessions have finished, but recordings of all three are available below.

Hey 7Sagers,

The August score release is just around the corner. Once you receive a score, it can be difficult to determine exactly how it fits into your law school aspirations- especially when you're on the fence about cancelling!

Following score release, we'll be featuring a free session led by one of our Admissions Consultants to help you interpret your score on three different dates:
