I am confused about how to classify the different question types into formal logic vs. those that use informal logic. For example, would you classify MBT as formal logic because it uses conditionals, but WSE as informal because it uses primarily the spectrum of support? Would other types fall in the middle, like SA, which some answers/questions involve conditionals and the spectrum of support?

Update: The server updates went very smoothly and we are back online! Total downtime was about 11 minutes. Thank you for bearing with us while we did the upgrade.

7Sage will be temporarily unavailable while we update the servers.

We expect that the site will be available again in two hours, hopefully less.

Please avoid doing a PrepTest or Problem Set near this time so that your work is not interrupted. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Hello!

I am currently progressing through the LR section and I am finding that I am understanding each section OK but I am very confused as to how to more overall identify when I am dealing with an argument versus when I am not. The causality arguments in the WSE section are also confusing me, as JY talks about how there are different kinds of them and I am also finding it hard to differentiate between an Alternative Cause Argument and the Basic One-Off Causal Argument among others. Can someone help summarize these in a way thats easy to understand?? Thanks so much!

Hey all,

I've been consistently scoring in the low 170s for the past several months, but can't break the mid-high 170s barrier. I signed up for the August and September test but am hesitant to go through with August.

For those who have reached the high 170s, what what your experience with breaking past the low17s? Is one more month enough time to break that plateau, or should I anticipate taking the test in October? I really don't want to take the official test again without consistently scoring in my goal range.

Thanks!

Hello! I'm 24M currently working in the tax industry looking to pivot to a career in law. I test in the low 160s and would like to push closer to 170 by July/August 2025. If you are interested in forming a small study group of around 4 people to keep each other motivated and accountable, definitely send me a message. I'd ideally like for the group to meet once or twice a week. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am wondering if someone has taken the LSAT at the in-person test center in Ottawa. I'd like to do that to avoid potential difficulties with WiFi/proctor because I just get so paranoid thinking about those. But I want to know how that experience has been for those who's done it there? Thank you!

I noticed that the LSAT August 2025 dates specify "Region: United States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) and Canada." Does this mean that there are no online options for international takers either? Sorry for the basic question, apologies if this isn't the place for it.

Hi everyone,

I am having difficulties finding an approach for detail-heavy passages, i.e. that don't have much of an argument to them but instead a lot of facts and details (For example Passage #1 - Burning Forests of LSAT 38/114 Section III). Since I usually focus on finding the argument and author's tone in each passage, I often lose of a lot of time going back to the details to answer the questions for this kind of passage.

Does anyone have any tips or strategy?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!!

My name is Adam and I am looking to start an OC study group.

A little bit about myself. I am currently PTing in the high 160's and looking to push into the mid 170's by August. I recently graduated UC Berkeley as an imbedded logic tutor and honestly I really enjoy the LSAT and would be more than happy to help anyone out that's scoring lower than I am.

My ideal outcome would be gathering a solid group of friends with varying degrees of experience that want to push themselves as hard as they can. So it doesn't matter where you are at in your journey, as long as you are motivated and optimistic about the exam you are more than welcome to join!

I don't think I can post a phone number here so DM me and we can get a group chat going!

Have a great day :)
