I just finished my first practiced test after finishing the 7sage CC. I have yet to blind review it but I feel insanely discouraged after finishing it as I missed a lot of questions in each section and honestly forget most of the stuff I learned. This is my second crack at the LSAT as well, any tips on how to move forward?

Edit: Thanks to everyone who commented, it made me feel a lot better before I blind reviewed and I ended up getting a 164 on my BR!

Hey 7Sage, I was wondering what happened to the print feature on the drilling page. I usually print out passages and do them during work or when traveling to and from. It is a good way to practice when I don't have access to the internet but now the function is gone even on the older version. Will this be brought back? This was one of the best features of the course compared to all other paid courses available

I always freeze when I read answer choices that say "takes a necessary condition to be a sufficient condition". I know in the abstract what they each are, but thinking through applying them as flaws is very difficult for me. Any tips?

Error - The eligibility id entered has already been used.

anyone know what to do about this? i sent a request to prometric but idk how long theyll take. im freaking out a bit

What do you guys think is better, drilling 5-10 questions on LR with a random difficulty level or drill untimed and timed sections?

What has helped you improved the most?

How have you improved with timing?

I am a very visual person and the test doesn't allow paper. I am having a hard time keeping track of the conditionals in my head. Any tips for figuring out conditionals during LR in your head?

Wondering if anyone has had this experience: I started studying for this test seriously around mid-June, and plan on taking it in September. My diagnostic score was 164 (after light question practice, untimed; I was working a lot, wish I could have done more), and since then I have taken a few more, whenever I'm feeling it. Tbh, I'm taking longer breaks than I should be (stopping this now as I get closer to test), but my score itself has not improved at all: 164, 165, 164, and, most recently, 163. I'm reviewing questions, seeing why I got things wrong, and right...but alas. However...my blind review scores have gone like this: 169, 169, 178 (!), 173. So, in other words, I have consistent improvement on blind, and none on timed.

I guess my question is: How on earth can I improve my timed performance? It's one thing to know I "have the answers in me" when I have enough time...but I'm struggling on the actual thing. Moreover, not infrequently have I changed correct answers to incorrect answers on blind review, which seems to be a problem.

Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience. I have a month until I take this thing, and I'd really like to make 172+. I know it's possible, but...yeah, how do I fix this? HOW DO I LOCK IN???

When I read a Reading Comprehension passage, I always look for the main idea, like where the author’s opinion or argument stands. For Main Point questions, does the correct answer always show where the author stands? For example, if the first paragraph supports idea A, but paragraphs 2 and 3 support idea B, will the right answer for the Main Point question always reflect the overall support for idea B?

I'm going through the syllabus and I don't know how I'm supposed to study. Should I perfect each question type before I move on, or should I move and go through the whole thing and then begin focused review.

Sometimes I don't know when it's time to move on.

I hate this test. It's so so hard. T-T

I feel helpless.

Hi All,

First, thanks for your time. Secondly, I have watched videos, and supplement videos as well. I have completed all the “You Try” questions and got it all correct.

But, as soon as I attempt the drills, I am not doing very well. Any tips, advice, or notes you can provide?

Thanks in advanced.

Is there anyway to print out the drill sets? Reading off a computer screen doesnt allow me to engage as much as I can on a piece of paper. I find myself doing alot better on paper than on a computer.

Hello everyone. Understanding that the undergraduate GPA is an extremely important factor in your application, I have a hard time viewing the strength of mine. I went to a strong liberal arts college that’s known to be very anti-grade inflation. They also don’t give out A+ grades. CAS gives credit to A+ grades and it seems a 3.72/4.00 GPA is at a disadvantage compared to many people who have it out of 4.33 with CAS conversion.

I’ve been told conflicting answers and now I’m even more confused. I would like to hear input to see where I am so I can put my worries to rest.

I am wondering if anyone is in the same shoes because I keep consistently getting "very high" priority questions wrong and consistently getting the "Very low" priority questions right. Does anyone have any tips that might help or if they have experienced the same issues.

I'm confused on my progress. The last few PT's I've taken over the course of a month have all been in the high 150s, so I've started to switch up my approach and purely drill for the past week. LR is my worst section, so I've been prioritizing that. Yesterday I took 3, 10 question randomly-generated LR drills and got 26/30 correct. I was very pleased with that. Today, however, I got only 17/30 correct. All the drills randomly generated were between 25%-35% expected incorrect.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. My diagnosis score 3 months ago was a 146, and since then I've only gone up 10 points or so and have not seen any improvement in over a month. I'm feeling a bit stuck here as my PT's are remaining in the same range, and my drills go really well one day, and not so well another day. Any advice would be much appreciated as I am feeling very discouraged and lost at the moment. Thanks!

Anyone want to form a study group chat to help send questions and keep accountability high? Less than a month to go!

Who's ready to crush this test?? We've put in the work and now it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Note down some words of self-encouragement or if you're not taking it yet, give us August test-takers some hype!!

In the new LR curriculum, JY mentions the importance of thinking about the mode of reasoning before going into the answer choices. I know the basic modes of reasoning that we covered in depth (part to whole, cost-benefit, etc) but later in the video lessons, he mentions specific ones (trade-offs, unintended negative consequences, interdependence) that he only touches on when discussing the answer choices. For the harder questions with less common modes of logic, I find myself struggling with putting these modes of reasoning into words which makes it harder to see flaws/analogous arguments, so does anyone have any resources that can help me get familiar with them? Thanks in advance!

How would you translate a sentence into lawgic that has both negate sufficient & negate necessary indicators in it?

Ex: "No entry after 9 pm without a valid ID." or "One cannot bake a cake without flour."

Hello everyone,

I am currently asking professors for LORs, and am a little worried. My classes are all online, and I'm worried that the professors may not take LORs as seriously as they would if we were in a traditional classroom setting. So far, I've asked two professors, and they both said they would be glad to do it, but one hasn't responded to my follow-up email from a few days ago, and I'm worried that she may have just forgotten about me or changed her mind. Any advice on how to stay in touch with these professors via email without bothering them?

Hey,

Anyone in Seoul interested in joining an offline study group?

I'm currently getting around low 160's on my practice exams.

Hope to see if anyone who shares common interests to join my journey!

FYI, I'm aiming for the Jan 2025 exam, but anyone with a different time goal are welcomed!

I'm taking the LSAT this week, and I would just like to know when others are planning to do their writing sections. I'm trying to focus on the actual LSAT, but I can't help but feel like the writing section is looming over me. Are most people waiting to prepare and take the writing section after their August test date?

Hi, I just started studying with 7sage.

I tried to use keyboard shortcuts (spacebar & k) to pause the video, but it doesn't work.

Searching Google got me nowhere. Plz help me, it is more uncomfortable than i thought to pause it using the mouse every time lol

FYI, I use Chrome, and I tried all 3 kinds of video players on settings but still not working. (also tried update to current version & restart)

I think it's just me tho ... seems like no one on the reddit & discussion experienced the same.

Is there anything else that i can try?

Thank you

I wanted to take a preptest, and I didn't realize I was under the obsolete format category of preptests. LG was the very last section. I just skipped the section. However, I haven't done blind review yet because I feel like my actual score is going to much lower / my data in analytics is going to be off since I skipped an entire section. I know I can manually input the #correct/#incorrect to see what I actually got, but is there any way to avoid it screwing up the analytics portion? Or is it not really going to mess with it since LG is gone?

Hello, I am kinda late to this process and I took a diagnostic test and scored a 135 and my goal is to get a 155 on a LSAT and I am planning to take it in October or November. Any tips and strategies that could help me. My weakest part is Reading comprehension.
