Hey everyone,

The chaining conditionals portion of the 7sage V2 curriculum (lessons 26 and 27 of Conditional and Set Logic) is quite complicated with little to no explanation on the skill builder. Has anyone used any other resources to help learn this portion of the curriculum? It seems very important, but with no videos or expanded explanations I am having a hard time with it.

I looked into using V1 in order to get more help, but that focuses a lot on LG and I plan to take the LSAT this fall (no LG). I suppose I could come back to this section, but it seems pretty important, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed if 7sage does not have further instruction on chaining conditionals?

Thanks,

If -8 on average correlated to a 170 on the last 20 LG / LR / RC tests, curious to get folks pulse on whether that will shift under the new test. I know it will vary from test to test, but I'm looking for a directional sense.

The reason I ask is that I understand many folks in the 170s went -0 on LG. So, I'm wondering if the test being all LR / RC will mean that maybe on average a -9-10 would be enough to be a 170 under the new test expecting that fewer folks will be able to consistently hit -0 on any section.

Btw, this does assume that the scaled score adjusts with testers performance and the LSAC doesn't decide to just give fewer 170s (which would seem counterintuitive).

I know this is rather speculative, but just curious for thoughts.

I've been studying for months now and am not improving on reading comprehension. Lately I've actually been doing worse than usual. It may be because of burnout, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or strategies that made them improve their RC score.

I graduated undergrad in May 2020, looking to apply to law school for the fall 2026 cycle. What has been dawning on me recently is the letters of recommendation. Since July 2020, I've been working at the same company and can get 2-3 kick-ass LORs. However, for ones from a professor - I never really had strong connections with my professors from undergrad, nor do I think they would remember well enough if I asked at this point.

Is it fine if I just go with the professional recs? Or is it really necessary to get at least one from undergrad? I just think the professional ones will resonate/carry more weight than any I get from a professor that I haven't kept in touch with, was close to, nor remembers me too well. I had a 3.756 GPA, if that's a potential question for me. Thanks for any feedback.

As a child I had an IEP from 3rd grade to 8th grade for reading and writing. 9th grade year I was allowed to take one advance history course, but still had to have follow up meetings to see how I was doing. By 10th grade I was taken off IEP observation and moving forward was no longer require to go to IEP meetings and such. I did receive accommodations though between 3rd and 8th grade, 9th grade they did pull back on that a bit. Would I be allowed to have accommodation even if I was taken off the IEP? I also did not have any accommodations in college. If I am allowed accommodations because of the IEP, would I still have to follow up with a doctor for proof?

Hi all, it's me again! Just wanted to share this Discord again for anyone that is interested in finding active LSAT Discords/online groups.

We got a lot of people studying for this cycle and next year (but also just starting 7Sage curriculum), so if you are in search of an active group, study buddies, or just have questions about the LSAT, please feel free to join. 💙☺️

  • all LSAT learners welcome!

  • all LSAT scores welcomed!

  • Anyone can create/lead an LSAT study session whenever. Yes, this is a free and open online space to study.

So far I am grateful for all the support people give to one another on here, and want to share it again in the hopes that more people can benefit from it.

https://discord.gg/Hb9s8XASad Let me know if the link isn't working (🥲 last time it expired or something)

Back when I started taking PTs to study, I didn't realize that I should save the more recent tests for when I was closer to my test date, and took the tests beginning with PT 92. I'm taking the LSAT in August and was wondering if people have an opinion whether it would be better to retake more recently administered tests I've already taken, or take older tests with which I'm unfamiliar? I've retaken 91 and 92 recently (took them originally back in March) and only recalled a few questions from them, but I do fear that my scores are potentially skewed by those few! I'll only have a chance to take one or two more tests before the actual exam but was just curious what people might have to say. Good luck to my fellow August test takers!

Hi, I am having a lot of problem with this passage. But especially with this first question. I got it wrong during timed and BR and considering I eliminated (E) immediately upon reading, I am convinced that I did not understand this passage, more specifically the main point of it. I selected (D) (after debating for a long time between (B) and (D) because it basically said the same thing, which I realize should have been a red flag) and the reason I did was that I was unsure as to what was more important in the passage: the connection between African American art and African Artisanship or African American art and it's connection with the Western World/history of America. I assumed it was the latter because although Artisanship was primarily the focus of the first 1/2 of the passage, I felt that the second half solely focused on how Porter's work was different from Locke because it put African American art work in the context of American art. This also continued on to the last paragraph where what Porter was working on was African American art's influence on Western Art in general. Where am I going wrong I am genuinely at lost.

I'd like to discuss this question, as it seems there's no explanation available on 7sage. That should be rectified, as this is a very tricky and unconventional question which therefore warrants a thorough explanation.

In the mean time, I'll give it a shot:

The question stem here seems to be, "Which one of the answer choices will fully justify (or make must be true) one of the two question options, definitively?"

It's an odd question in that it doesn't ask you to justify approach A or approach B -- it instead asks you to identify a principle that will make EITHER ONE OF A or B must be true, whilst simultanouesly making either B or A must be false -- all based on the stimulus information.

So far as I can tell, (B) is the only one that does this with that level of certainty. It says that, based on the stim information available, the renovation was correct while the demolition camp was incorrect.

Unusual, difficult question.

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

I am currently three weeks into my study schedule only covering main conclusion and most strongly supported, (excluding the drills included in the study plan) do I start drilling after I'm done the curriculum? Do I start doing PTs after I'm done the curriculum? I have no test date and plan to just go with the wind, when I'm ready Ill take the test, I am in no rush but would like to know how I should attack studying.

Hey ya'll, I'm a 170 scorer and I'm planning on taking the August (or September) LSAT, I was wondering if there'd be any high scorers out there like 176s that'd be willing to study with me and discuss logical reasoning questions?

They do say that it's also helpful for people who know their stuff to continuously articulate their thinking to others in order to solidify that knowledge :D and I can be a good listener. I found that I learn a lot more when I talk to people about my thinking and hear their input, so it'd be great if I could establish this with someone.

Thanks!

Looking to see if there are any other lgbt+ folks in EST who would be interested in a study buddy?

Last take for me was 164, and I’m shooting for 170. It’d be great to also meet folx with similar score goals, but not required.

PS: happy late pride!

Ever wonder why your Blind Review score is so much higher than your actual timed takes? In this episode, Bailey and Henry dig into that frustrating gap and what it really reveals about your test-day performance. They break down why the discrepancy exists, how to diagnose the root causes (from pacing issues to second-guessing), and practical strategies to bring your timed scores closer to your BR potential. Whether you’re consistently a few points off or dealing with a double-digit gap, this conversation will help you turn Blind Review insights into real score gains.

Hi friends. I wanted to share how to do just 1 timed section at a time since 7Sage makes it a bit difficult. First, go to PrepTests. Find a PT that you haven't done yet, make note of the number (e.g. PT152). Then, go to "Drills." Create a new drill, select "All Prep Tests," select either LR or RC, then type in the "filter" box the name of the PT section you want to do (e.g. PT152). Choose all the questions from 1 section, then create drill. The timer feature within the testing window allows you to set a 35 minute timer as well.

I find this one-timed-section-per-day strategy to be best for me. It breaks up studying into very manageable chunks (can do the timed section, blind review, and post-results review in about an hour). It is good practice for getting timing right on the real test and building stamina too. After awhile, these timed sections have felt like a breeze, and a real test is only 4 of them total.

I hope this is helpful for fellow studyers!

I like to BR my answers and review the wrong ones all in the same studying session so I don't lose my train of thought, however im only just beginning to study so I do have a fair amount of wrong answers.

Im wondering if there's a way that you can just go through individual sections, BR them and then review the right answers without having to do the entire test?

Thanks!

Hello 7Sage friends,

While I am critical of some of Powerscore's methodologies, I think their free Crystal Balls are worth a listen. You can still sign up for the one they're hosting on 9/12/21 for the October LSAT on their website.

If you can just derive a peace-of-mind from having attended the event, rather than considering yourself as having obtained some woo-woo powers because you listened to it, I'd recommend to check it out.

Cheers and happy studying.
