I take the exam on Sunday and im in need of some last minute tips. I dont plan on taking another PT but I will be drilling and taking individual sections over the next 3 days.

How do I tackle 4-5 level LR questions? On the PT I just took I got every question right except for the 6 questions that were 4-5 level difficulty. I thought I got them all right but I fell for every trap answer ):

Any suggestions on increasing RC score a couple points? Even if it is new strategies / how to eliminate wrong answer choices? Im awful at this section and have not been able to increase my score consistently. The best I've gone was -6 but just now I got -11.

For question 17, I can't differentiate between D and E. For question 18, I got the correct answer via POE, but I don't know what "merely in a matter of degree" means in answer choice C. Can someone translate what that is talking about? Does it mean "quantitatively?" That seems like a weird definition.

Question 17 essentially wants us to support Maritain using something in Passage A. In Passage B, Maritain thinks that animal communication is a conditional reflex and not conscious intent.

Answer D: I see how this answer supports him. Calling causes females to approach and males to retreat. There is no evidence that the frogs do it in order to rely the calling frog's desire/intent to mate nor influence the other frog's behavior. This seems to suggest it is pretty reflexive.

Answer E: But, doesn't this equally support Maritain? The primates don't adjust their call depending on who is there/rely knowledge. Thus, there appears to be no goal/conscious intent either. Doesn't this also suggest that the primate coos and calls as a reflex when it sees food or predators, respectively?

Would it not make sense to include this as its own section?

I have added my Bachelor's and other institutions I have attended to the LSAC and sent my transcripts for all of them. I would like to know whether I should also add a diploma program I took.

For context, I am a Canadian applicant and have not received a degree from my other institutes (mainly just transfer courses I took and one graduate program I dropped out of). I just finished the diploma program so I have not yet graduated from it (finished all my courses but graduation is next year).

Hi everyone,

I am late to the game and I am using this summer to tackle studying for the LSAT, and taking the August exam.

I know this is an overly ambitious plan of attack but sadly I do not have many other options.

That being said, does anyone have any tips or advice on how I should approach this?? I am not sure if I am better off trying to complete all of the foundational material and lessons, or skipping around or what.

I do not have enough time to complete all 900+ hours of the program before August, so that being said any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

As of now, I am getting through the foundations and then going to begin incorporating the practice tests and such starting mid June, and then from there out switch between the foundation and practice. Not sure if this is the best approach though.

Thank you ! And Goodluck to everyone !

Hello,

Myself, elle.sat.woods180 and emaanc99

Are looking to add two members to our study group.

Our goal is to reach +170 scores for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The highest score I have received on the LSAT was a 167. I have scored 165 multiple times and my most recent LSAT scores have been varied from 160 to 167. I have taken approximately 80 LSAT Preptests. I only have 10 more. I took these tests in numerical order but also decided to take LSAT 89 and 88 because of their difficulty in order to prepare myself for the November/January LSAT. It did not work.

Our method of study is to pick LR/LG/RC questions/passages and blind review them. We general pick questions and passages based on their difficulty. We would spend an hour or two every weekend to meet as a group and go over the questions/passages that we selected.

Send me a direct message if you are interested in joining our group.

Thanks,

Wanted to take one more PT this week before i take the jan lsat? Should i just take most recently released one?

As of today, I changed my LSAT from October to this August. I have been studying about 40 hours per week since May 17th. However, I have only taken the initial diagnostic as a prep test because I had generated a custom study schedule based on having 4 months, which would allow me to complete all of the material provided in 7sage by October.

I received a 151 as my score on my diagnostic, and my goal is a 170. I realize that now, I only have a little over 2 months to raise my score significantly. I have completed half of the C.C. (including every practice set and video, 100hrs of material so far).

How many practice tests would people recommend doing a week if I continue to study about 40 hours a week? I was thinking that I should now focus my time watching lessons over the rest of LR, LG, and RC, applying the techniques in 2-4 of the practice sets in each section, and then be able to move on to solely practice tests and blind review. I would go back and use the practice sets not done to drill the question-types I am getting wrong on the practice tests.

Please let me know if you have any advice!

Hello,

I am struggling with keeping in the time constraints I've set for myself during my PTs. I try to remind myself to look at the display timer every time I click on the next question or am going through ACs, but sometimes I am deep in a LG and totally go over time before I've had the chance to look back. I used to use my phone to time myself and it would sit directly in front of me as I took a hardcopy PT.

Since everything is digital, I'm trying to switch up my practices accordingly... But I'm wondering if anyone has used the LSAT analog watches available and would suggest them? I'm thinking that with the watch right next to my sheet of paper, it will be easier for me to keep an eye on the time. Do you think I should invest in a watch - and if so, which one - or do you think monitoring the timer will become easier with practice and would be best to stick to the display timer only?

Would appreciate some advice before I spend the money on a timer that may hinder my studying in some way rather than help! Thank you so much!

Hey LSAT prepsters.... I just signed up for that study buddy thing here on 7Sage. If any of you are interested, please respond back or check out that new study buddy sign up and we'll get connected ASAP. I live in San Jose and plan on taking the October LSAT. Let's push each other to greatness and support each other when we are feeling doubtful. I'd love to meet once a week and we can also do phone/internet chats as well. It's all about helping each other stay on track with studying and to break apart question types to see the tentmaker's themes and tricks. We can definitely crack the code and get into top schools.

Hi I'm planning to take the LSAT Oct 2022 or later and was wondering if anyone else who's not planning to take the LSAT anytime soon wanted to form a study group

Looking to do a PS and resume swap with people applying this current cycle!

Hi all!

Thanks for showing up to Free Live Class Day on Monday and our Proctored PT last Saturday! If you missed it, or if you're ready for more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday January 27 at 1:00 PM.

Looking forward to the Blind Review sessions on Monday for PT 72. Anyone can access the recordings for our January 23rd classes Blind Reviewing PT 73 here: LR and RC! We covered the group's flagged questions in LR––the crowd had a bone to pick with Flaw and Assumption questions. Getting to the bottom of the meaning and structure for Passage 2 and 4 in the RC section was a journey. If you wanted to see what Cameron's "fancy-subject" photos actually look like, here you go! They are kinda depressing after all.

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 72; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

hi! (fair warning, this a question from is the genuinely tragic mirrors passage btw): for the life of me, i cannot figure out why c is the right choice for this one. i think it's largely because i literally just don't understand what the answer choice means. like genuinely word-wise.

i get that the idea of "separating observers from scientific phenomenon" as it's discussed in the text + how this informs the tendency of scientists to prefer certain explanations for phenomena. but i don't understand how that idea is conveyed by answer choice c. answer c reads: "One explanation of what mirrors do reveals the traditional tendency of physicists to separate a phenomenon to be explained from the observer of a phenomenon."

i've been racking my head trying to parse the bolded part word-by-word but i genuinely can't figure it out. isn't the point the text is making that science ppl prefer explanations that don't rely on the observer? how does "separating a phenomenon •••to be explained••• from the observer of a phenomenon" do that?? if someone could even just help break down what this part means that would be useful lol. ty in advance (3(/p)

I get most of my LSAT LR drills correct (usually except for the hardest difficulty) and I find myself overthinking those really hard questions because I am trying to practice a methodology and skill instead of relying on my intuition, that gets the easier/medium/hard questions right. I'm just wondering what my approach should be.

LR- PTB.S1.Q1

Misread the question and u was stuck between two answer choices that I thought would be correct. I need to understand the main point for this question because it can lead to tricky answer choices.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Hello Guys

As you see, I am looking for a study peer who can be committed to preparing for LSAT Nov in logic games, and I am willing to PAY for him/her towards working together. If you are scoring 160 and above and interested, please message me in private.

I am studying LSAT preptests. I would like to discuss your thinking behind test questions and anything else needed to brush up on. I prefer meeting via Skype or an online chat method. You can email me at create.jewels@gmail.com if interested to have one.

Hi all,

I've been struggling to wrap my head around this question (i'll post below). Can anyone explain this?

"It must be true that the lowest-numbered line on which" changes to "no lower than line". . . Why is it not that F can be lines 2 or 1?

It must be true that the lowest-numbered line on which

(A) F can be assembled is line 2

(B) G can be assembled is line 3

(C) J can be assembled is line 2

(D) K can be assembled is line 3

(E) M can be assembled is line 2

(A): Does it have to be true that F can be no lower than line 2? In other words, could F be 1st?

F could be lower than line 2! We have no rules stopping F from being 1st, and for completion’s sake—though you probably wouldn’t do this on Test Day—we’ll give you an example. F could be 1st, for example if the order were: FMGSJKH. Although there are several other possible scenarios in which F can be 1st, finding just one is sufficient to determine that this choice’s statement “could be false.”

Hi!

Though I watched JY's video explanation on this question,

I cannot still figure out what is a significant difference between an answer choice (A) and (C).

I thought "cultural relationships" in (A) can entail the meaning of how much external cultural influences affect the lives of people.

Could you explain these two answer choices further?

Thanks!

Hi,

Since this has no video explanation for it, I want to know whether I fell in line with the rest when I reached that conclusion. In this question, the author argues that butter manufacturers should be allowed to call their products "Can't believe it's not butter or Skim fat butter" to ward off any negative nuances from the term "Imitation butter". This person cites two reasons to back up one's allegation. A) People should be fostered to consume more low fat butter products because of their health concerns, arising from a high cholesterol level. B) This hostile naming like Knock-off/Ersatz could stave potential consumers off from those well-intentioned products owing to their aversion to the names. In that way, the industry could push people to indulge in more butterfat which could pose a threat to their health (esp. cardiovascular). In order to weaken this assertion, I thought it would be better off for me to claim that this aversion could beget more positive results healthwise for those buyers in the market. What if they, finding those suggestive names unbearably repulsive, decided to find the authentic low fat butter products which significantly slashed the fat content? For instance, they would rather find a real McCoy low fat butter, projecting an image of authenticity,instead of phonier butter substitutes, which happened to have less butterfat in it? People who voted for Trump would rather turn to him to gratify their desires, whatever they might be, in lieu of settling down for his miniature, Ron DeSantis, emulating his extreme creeds. I just thought that it was important for me to tackle the author's point that the negative naming could take a toll on public health because it deters people from purchasing the imitation butter which is healthier for them thanks to the low fat content in comparison with the regular ones. Thus, one of the ramifications was supposed to bear the unexpected consequence that made everyone more robust and hale: cutting off the consumption of butterfat more noticeably than what was expected from the fake butter. What are your thoughts on this? I would like to hear from other would-be legal minds. Thanks!

Hi all, this is the official 7Sage January LSAT study group. Join this group to chat with other 7Sagers prepping for the January LSAT. We'll also update the study group with Live classes and other events relevant to the January test date.

(Please still feel free to create your own January LSAT study groups too!)

Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone has experienced the loading errors after launching LSAT Writing in PSI secure browser. I've tried for two weeks and yet not been able to even take the ID photo. I've also tried to reset my computer and the eligibility but it remains the same.

Most unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with the 24/7 technical support line from China. And the LASC representatives only operate during normal business hour in ET. :( Even if they do, I have to wait up to 20min to get through. The email gets no reply either. I literally has sought all possible means /sad/tired/frustrated. Since I urgently need the April score, any of your advice/experiences would be appreciated. Thank you!!

Feb Test Takers (or Taking the test tomorrow and a glutton for punishment)

Don’t wait to hit the 70s in January! Be prepared!
