Reset Drills

Hi, is there a way to reset the drills? I am nearly out of 'clean' questions, games, passages, which makes it difficult to have it create automated drills for me. Thanks!

My PT scores are around 166-173 and just got a 16mid score in April, aim 173+ in June. Hope to find someone to discuss PTs especially RC/LR section together, also we can oversee each other's study schedules. Please DM me or reply if interested!

We've added new lessons on LSAT writing to the curriculum! For those of you taking the test in August 2024 or later, LSAC is making some changes to the writing section. (Here's the official announcement from LSAC in case you missed it: https://www.lsac.org/blog/new-approach-lsat-writing-will-debut-july-31-2024)

In order to help you prepare for the updated writing format, we've introduced three new lessons to the curriculum:

(NOTE: To see the new lessons, you must be using v2 of the core curriculum. If you're not sure how to access v2, see here: https://classic.7sage.com/accessing-ccv2/)

Lastly, if you're planning on taking the June 2024 LSAT, fear not! The old writing curriculum isn't going anywhere. You can continue using it.

So my April LSAT score was a bust, so going to gear up to take it in June. Any recommendations for a 6 week study sprint? My best section is Logic Games so truly going to be my last time to take the test with the best conditions possible. I studied a couple hours 6 days a week from February - April (with tutoring) and was pretty consistently scoring above what I got on the April test. Think I got tripped up just through general test-day anxiety (and what I thought was a super difficult RC section). Should I just try to take as many PTs as possible the next 6 weeks? Should I do more drills? Go back to some of the basics? Little lost here.

Truly so frustrated by my April score and June will be unfortunately my 4th time taking the test, so any words of wisdom or success stories to make me feel some hope would be lovely.

Hello! Just got my April score back and received a 172. Pretty happy with it, as my average is a 171. The thing is, my GPA is no bueno; a 3.24. I don't plan on going to any top-top schools, but, as a California resident, I would love to have a shot at UC Berkeley, UCLA, or USC. My last 3 PTs before the test were a 175, a 173, and a 176 which makes me feel like I could do better. I am already signed up for June but I'm not sure if trying to grind this month for a few points more would be that beneficial as I've already passed those schools' medians and regardless I'm going to be a splitter. I feel that spending my time on my essays instead would probably have a larger impact overall. Let me know what yall think!

I accidentally submitted my LSAT writing before I had the chance to delete my notes (pros, cons, etc) and so now my notes are at the top and my actual essay is at the bottom of the submission ... what should I do????

Hello 7SAGERS,

I have a question and it could be something others are thinking. My last time taking the exam was my 4th. One of my exams had a tech issue but it was counted even though I couldn't finish. I've been trying to do better with my study even thought I work two jobs, one full one P/T. I wanted to start law school in Fall 2024.

With only one more chance to take the exam this calendar year, and two more available over lifetime -- what would you do? I seriously want to change my career course and it feels like timing is everything but I also know that I need money to attend law school and that translates to your score. I have been seriously stressed about this. LG hasn't been my strong suit so I know I could wait until Aug or Fall to take it again, but that means applying for 2025 cycle and I've already put in apps for Fall 2024. I'm nervous that even if my last score is decent what if the schools have run out of funds for scholarship? ?And if I didn't do well, I am not sure if I should withdraw all of my apps or just wait for their decision - but I don't know if you can decline if you're accepted but you don't receive scholarships??

I'm seriously stressed about all of this. Can anyone inform on these questions I have? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am an international applicant currently doing my bachelors at the university of Edinburgh (studying German&Philosophy). I am planning on taking the August 2024 LSAT. So far I’ve only done the old PT, scoring around 170. Would like to find someone to go through the new format PT together :) Feel free to drop me a message.

Also I have a small question. I am finishing my bachelors degree in June/July 2025 and hoping to attend the 2025 fall JD class. Is it too late/too early to take the August 2024 LSAT? Thanks for any information.

Hi! I've been studying for approximately 6 months - I scored a 157 Oct 2023, then a 155 Nov 2023 (my fault, I was burnt out by the time I did the Oct that I wasn't mentally prepared for Nov). My highest timed PT has been a 163, but it fluctuates from 156-163, yet my BRs are usually 165+. Timing seems to be my kryptonite. It's not really a matter of running out of time, it's a matter of rushing and missing vital information whilst timed. Any tips on improving my timed score? I usually spend 2-3 hours per day studying, and on weekends I try to do 3-4. Despite that time allocated, I feel like I barely get any practice in, as BR and review takes up a chunk of time. I believe I understand the concepts, but it all fades away when the clock's ticking.

I've been doing 3-section PTs from the PrepTests section, and plan to do a simulation LSAT 4-section PT (1 experimental) this weekend. I've tried timed and untimed drills, but haven't noticed any improvement. Please let me know if you other methods to improve timing!

LR and RC are the consistent sections throwing me for a loop when timed.

Hello, I have been studying for a little over a year for the exam my first ever practice test was 130 and over time, I have gotten myself to score consistently at 150, but I can't seem to get above that no matter how much I study or practice. Logic games were my worst section, so I am waiting till August to write. Logical reasoning is my best section and I usually get about 15-18 correct but I have been seeing fluctuations in those scores when I do practice test sections on powerscore. My reading comprehension, I get anywhere from 12-16 usually correct so it's not terrible, but there's room for improvement in both of these sections. I have already done private tutoring through 7sage it was very expensive and did not improve my score. I am starting to feel a bit helpless and feel like I have improved to my maximum potential on this exam and I need some advice.I try and study about ten hours a week doing drills and reading my books I always blind review and watch the explanation videos.I have been staying away from practice tests mainly doing drills and timed sections

Hey everyone, @KevinLin7Sage did an internal presentation for 7Sage Tutors on the difference between CC v1 and v2. I thought it was such a good presentation that I wanted to share it with everyone. So, if you've wondered what the differences are between CC v1 and v2:

Hello,

I'm trying to understand why answer choice (a) for this question is incorrect.

I chose answer choice A and am struggling to understand why it's wrong. I understand why D is correct, but I can't get comfortable with ruling out A, and I went back and forth between the two for a while before deciding on A. The tutor in this video said that the issue lies with "all relevant respects", saying that we have no relevant connections to an anteater. However, I would think that we are talking in the frame of mammals - "all species that are similar in all relevant respects" = mammals, all of which, except for the anteater, dream. So, facts about one species of animal (spiny anteater, the specific facts being about their brain size) provide confirmation for hypotheses about all species that are similar in all relevant respects (mammals, the hypothesis being the parasitic connection hypothesis) to the particular species in question (again, spiny anteater). Does anyone have any additional thoughts on why this is wrong / other methods of ruling it out?

I have the June LSAT, and I took a PT two days ago and bombed the logic sections. -10 on experimental and -7 on the scored one. I aced the first games, but both times, I encountered some kind of layered sequence (grouping, twist), and I found myself running out of time and guessing.

I specifically took PT91, and the two killers were the electrician game and the crop rotation game. I've drilled since and realized I've tried to categorize first, but how the heck do you do these quickly?

tips for LR?

Feeling discouraged and frustrated, but I know this is a hard test and meant to play with you. My biggest area of struggle was always LR (and still is). I'm still pretty new here, and since starting 7sage I thought I was finally starting to grasp the concepts and tricks to handle LR questions. I took my first preptest to see how I'd do, and got a 139. I know I am able to do much better, but I dont know what I'm doing wrong, if im second guessing myself or simply overthinking each question. Any tips on how to handle LR? Anyone else deal with the same issue? Will I be able to master LR by the time my August LSAT comes around?
