Hi need some help here. JY mentioned that we should take a break between taking a practice test and doing a blind review but should we still do this for drills? I find that I'm too close to the questions to honestly blind review them after but don't want to stop my momentum (especially since I work full time and am studying whenever I can block time off in my schedule/weekends). Does anyone have tips for being efficient with studying and blind reviewing in a way that makes a true difference?

Hi everyone, I am brand new to anything law related lol and studying for the LSATs. I am watching the videos according to the study schedule on here. I would like to know how I should start with the LSAT live teaching classes? Or should I watch all videos first before taking live classes? There are many to choose from, but which class should I take first to familiarize myself more with the LSATs for beginners? How can I find that class to start with?

God Bless, thanks!

I am sitting for my first LSAT in April and with less than a month to go it is starting to feel real. I am hoping to boost my score by another 5-7 points which feels like a lot but I have a good plan in place for the final countdown...

How is everybody feeling? Prepared? Nervous? If it goes poorly the plan is to take again in August, but I would love to just get my goal score first try and be done with it.

Good luck to everybody!

I was a little confused on why C is the right answer.

The stimulus says:

If an external force intervenes to give members of a community political self-determination, then that political community will almost surely fail to be truly free, since it is during the people's struggle to become free by their own efforts that the political virtues necessary for maintaining freedom have the best chance of arising.

The correct AC for PSAr is:

A community cannot remain free without first having developed certain political virtues.

But doesn't this just restate the premise? The premise already says "the political virtues necessary for maintaining freedom", and the AC is free -> political virtues. So I was wondering how this principle helped.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I haven’t received a response from 7Sage about my switch to the V2 version of the core curriculum, so I’ll share my thoughts here. I am a little over 64% done with the LR section in the V1 version. I wrote down a list of the question types I did on V1 and what I have left. So I clicked the “complete” option on the ones I did for V1 on V2, and that left me with 6 question types compared to 9. Do you think I went about that correctly?

Also, the foundations section for V2 has a lot more lessons than V1, but I was thinking of clicking the “complete” option for the foundations section and just come back to specific lessons for questions I get wrong. Is that a valid approach?

Also, does V2 use more recent questions? What happened to the problem sets and using problems from tests 1-35?

I would appreciate any help!

Hey everybody!

I'm sure many of you just got the email regarding the writing sample opening tomorrow. Does anybody have any thoughts, advice, etc. on completing this? I felt as though the email could have included a bit more information.

Specifically I am wondering how much time I should allot since it seems like we have to complete it in one go once we launch the session. Also, I am wondering how much of an impact overall this has on your test results considering it is not scored.

Any general advice from people who have completed this before would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance and good luck to everybody taking the test in less than 2 weeks!

Hiii you guys I'm looking to find people in my area who are also studying for the LSAT right now and potentially form a study group so let me know if anyone is interested that lives in Western Washington primarily in the Bothell, Seattle, Bellevue area :)

Don't understand the stimulus & why C is the right answer choice. Can someone explain please?

hi everyone! just wondering if anyone who has taken lsat with extra time or extended break accommodations can speak to if they were placed in a separate room with their own proctor? and if they had to check in with the test site prior to testing or if just being approved by lsac and showing up is enough. thank you!

Anyone taking the LSAT in August or September of this year? Study Group? This is my first crack at it so I'm kind of nervous, but I am excited to start.

Hi guys! I'm set to take the upcoming April exam and my goal is 175+.

Right now the diagnostics look okay, as I am consistently scoring above my goal - anywhere from 175 to 180.

But what worries me is how often it turns out to be that our actual scores are much, much lower than our practice exams. I was scoring around 168-9 last year, when I first took the exam, and fell 7 points on the real exam. Yes, a score to be proud of, but I was crushed.

Maybe it's pointless, but I'm just looking for some hope and reassurance that with some good work, my scores will turn out okay:) An additional question to not just the 175+ scorers but everyone here, what were some of the issues that caused you to get a much lower score than your practice exams? For myself: it was not realizing how much RC/LR performance can deteriorate when you're panicking:)

As title says, at this point in my studying i am only really getting the 5 star difficulty questions wrong. When i take untimed tests, I'm scoring in the high 170s (ik this doesn't matter lol), but on timed, I'm still scoring in the mid 160s and sometimes high 160s because of these dang 5 star questions!

Btw I am taking August lsat, no LG.

What seems to be the preferred method of studying when you reach this point? I recently also got an lsat lab subscription so I have more explanations available for these 5 star questions (7sage is great, but many explanations are missing or seemed rushed through). But other than drilling 5 stars and the ones I've got wrong, and going over them until i am 100% confident why its right, is there anything else I can be doing? Maybe specific types of drills or like confidence drills? I honestly don't know. I'm getting so tired of months and months of studying. I also have the loophole book so maybe that for LR help? I know I'm capable of 170s but not sure what that final push I need is. I feel like I've hit a plateau.

Hi Everyone,

🔧We're actively working on resolving an issue affecting access to the Review Results of Old PrepTests (PTs 1-94) from Drills/Problem Sets/You Try. Our development team is dedicated to fixing this as soon as possible. We'll keep you posted on the progress!

In the meantime, if you need to access the Review Results of a drill using questions from Old PrepTests, you will need to switch the format of your PT to "Current (with Logic Games)". Simply head to the PrepTests page and look for the option at the top under the List PrepTests title. Check out the sample GIF below for guidance.

Stay tuned for further updates! 🛠️👀

This issue is now resolved and everyone should now be able to review the results from the Drills even if the PrepTests page is set to "August 2024 and later" format.

Not sure if this is just me, but it looks like there aren't any discussions under new PT questions now. But I know that these PTs aren't actually "new," but just mixed questions from old PTs. Is there a way to get these discussions from past PTs into these "new" PTs? Seeing people discuss questions is super helpful to me! #help

Thank you!

Love to build a study group!

Hi everyone-

The room in which I am planning to take my LSAT has frosted on one wall covering the middle section, with clear glass on the top and bottom. Will this be acceptable for my remote LSAT?

Alternatively, does anyone know how I can take my test on an L-shaped desk, where one of the sides has a desktop computer?

Hi my name is Anna! I'm a student in Dallas, Texas, and I'm studying for the August LSAT (new format) right now. If you're also studying in Dallas, maybe we can meet at a cafe and study together and/or form a study group. I'm currently using both 7Sage and Ellen Cassidy's The Loophole in LSAT LR. Shoot me an email at anbeckley19@gmail.com if you're interested!!

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 160-165 (Goal: 170s)

📆 My planned test date: June 2024

📈 To study, I have been: Drilling untimed and timed

🔑 My goals for this group are: Each participant will teach and take away a strategical approach to a question type. Ideally participants in the group have completed the core curriculum and have a good grasp of the different question types in LR and RC.

🔍 We'll focus on: LR and RC

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: Everyone takes the same PT before meeting up. At study group, we will discuss the questions we missed, focusing on optimal strategies for each question type. This can be on a weekly or biweekly basis.

✅ How to join: Join the discord: https://discord.com/invite/vtUaHu8E

I think the study group will be more effective when everyone gets a chance to discuss, so I'd like to keep this group relatively small. A group of 3-4 is great, max is 6.

Hi there, I cannot seem to figure out how to access and use the wrong answer journal in the review process after I've completed Blind Review. I'm not sure if this is a technical problem, or simply user error. Either way can someone help me out with this?

Thanks!

Currently, I am leaving a lot of questions on the table during BR because of my overconfidence errors (I'm not flagging questions that I ultimately get wrong). How do you correct overconfidence errors? I feel like it's difficult because you don't even know that you're committing an overconfidence error (you think you understand the stimulus and the answer, so why would you question it?).

Because of this, I'm not seeing much of a score increase between my actual score and my BR score. Help!

Obviously parallel flaw questions and some other question types like SA and MBT usually require logic mapping, but how do you decide during PTs and the actual test when to need to use conditional logic?

And what are the question types that 100% require mapping, often require mapping, and usually do not require mapping?

Thanks!

hey everyone. wondering if anyone who has taken the test at a test site can tell me the exact materials we are given at a test site. I think i am seeing some varying info online so just trying to confirm if we are given pens or pencils and how many pieces of scrap paper we are given and if they are lined or blank. also just confirming we take the test on a desktop at the site. thanks in advance ! (i know this is super specific of me to ask ahha)

Will 7 sage's explanation videos change in accordance with the new prep tests on LSAC? I know that the new prep tests use prior material, but I'd to know how the explanation videos will change once games are gone. Thank you.

Hi all, apologies if this question has been asked already (I've looked to no avail),

I'm planning on taking the August 2024 exam (without LG), but so far have been following the old v1 syllabus (I'm still on the CC). It appears a lot has changed with the v2 syllabus. Is v2 specifically tailored to the post-LG exams, or just an "update" to v1? I'm curious about whether it's better to start anew from the beginning of v2, or to continue with v1 and just skip LG sections, or to ignore 7sage's study schedule and blend the two syllabi.

For those of you also in this sort of situation, what are your plans?

Thanks

Hello, I started the LSAT journey with 7sage two weeks ago. Upon hearing the removal of the Game section, I decided to take the exam after August 2024.

However, I noticed that the study schedule on the V2 (new curriculum) does not include Practice Tests which shortens the formulated prep time. I am unsure if this will be updated by the admin anytime soon or that we adjust on our own by simply adding the previous PTs to the schedule.

Thank you in advance for your feedbacks.
