I'm running into a situation where I get most of the questions that require formal logic right, but only after taking a good 5 minutes mapping out the logic in the stimulus. If I don't go through this exercise I need to guess the answer most of the time (unless the logic is as straightforward as a couple simple if/then statements). I will obviously not have the luxury of all of this time on the test. Any tips on how to get faster at mapping out formal logic?

With the first big law fair of the season about to happen—the Washington, D.C. LSAC Forum—we know there are jitters out there. What questions should you ask?

What question should you totally NOT ask?

It it ok to wear comfortable shoes?

We cover all this and more with Maggie Slater, the Assistant Dean for Enrollment Management at the West Virginia College of Law.

The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is widely considered a challenging exam—but not because it tests specific knowledge like history or math. Instead, it measures critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension skills. These are not necessarily "taught" in most traditional classrooms, which makes the test feel unfamiliar and tough for many students at first.

One reason the LSAT is difficult is its time pressure. Each section is strictly timed, leaving very little room for hesitation. You’re required to read dense texts, understand abstract arguments, and solve logic puzzles—all within tight deadlines. The Logical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) sections are especially tricky if you're not used to that style of thinking.

That said, the LSAT is very learnable. With consistent practice, a good prep plan, and proper understanding of test strategies, many students significantly improve their scores. It’s not about memorizing facts, but rather about training your brain to recognize patterns, make inferences, and manage time effectively. So while it’s a tough test, it’s definitely manageable with preparation—and many find it even enjoyable once they understand how it works.

Hey yall, just subscribed to 7sage. I wanted to do a practise section with a show answer option to warm up, but this function is unavailable. I understand that this is because of the emphasis on the blind review model which i think will be beneficial. I havent been able to find a proper explanation of how blind review works on this site tho. where might I find an explanation? are you able to do blind review for practise sections or just full tests? is there an option to toggle it? how does BR work? does it automatically take you to a blind review part following the section?

🙃 Confused

Need to stop checking the answer

Hi everyone, this might sound a little silly, but does anyone else have the constant urge to check the right answer after every question? I'm trying to break this habit, but I can't help it! Even during prep test I'm still constantly checking the right answer on a separate tab.

I am not sure how and when to drill. Do I drill after each section? If so, how do I know which types of questions to do? I’m still on foundations and haven’t started LR yet, FYI.

The question below made me confused because I thought the conditional statement "the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands" was a fact because there is a Sufficent Condition that triggers a Necessary Condition there for it must be true. So when I learned A was wrong, I was confused because the conditional statement created a "rule." So, I need help. How do you disprove a conditional?

THE QUESTION:

Recently discovered prehistoric rock paintings on small islands off the northern coast of Norway have archaeologists puzzled. The predominant theory about northern cave paintings was that they were largely a description of the current diets of the painters. This theory cannot be right, because the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands, and there are no paintings that unambiguously depict such creatures.

Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument against the predominant theory about northern cave paintings EXCEPT:

A. Once on these islands, the cave painters hunted and ate land animals.

B. Parts of the cave paintings on the islands did not survive the centuries.

C. The cave paintings that were discovered on the islands depicted many land animals.

D. Those who did the cave paintings that were discovered on the islands had unusually advanced techniques of preserving meats.

E. The cave paintings on the islands were done by the original inhabitants of the islands who ate the meat of land animals

I've been making my way through the syllabus but not quite sure how much I should be extending my study outside the questions and focused drills. Should I be aiming for a PT once a week and focusing my efforts especially on the question types I know? Should I just be taking drills with the questions types I've covered? What has been a good strategy for other people?
