I am at the point of my prep where I just jumped into the 160s and I'm starting to see it's more difficult to get large increases with each PT. Should I go back and redo some of my older tests/sections/drills to make sure I truly understand any answer I previously got wrong?

Ok so pretty much X 50 ppl

Y has 100 ppl

X 1 person hospitalized

Y has 4 ppl hospitalized

So initially I thought this doesn't really seem like a paradox but wtv, lets just explain why Y has more hospital patients.

A. Ok if preventive health programs are more common X than in Y that'll explain why Y has more people in hospitals.

B. (I was between this and D just because I couldn't eliminate D) This actually explains the phenomena though. If city X is a leader in outpatient treatment whenever possible that explains why they have less hospitalizations they just send everyone home.

C. Perfect the drinking water of Y has DANGEROUSLY high toxins compared to that of X so that could cause more people to be sick and end up in hospitals

D*: (Read carefully) The hospitals in Y are of high quality and X ppl are sent there for treatment. Ok just because X people are sent there let's say to get the pain medication that wouldn't explain why Y has more hospital patients. They could just go get the medication and leave.

E. Fair assumption to make that if stress is correlated with higher hospitalizations

I am thinking of starting a small (in-person) study group!!

We will discuss further for details to how to run the study group but following is the general idea.

Time: Twice a week for 5 weeks

(Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) can be changed

Location: A study cafe in Seoul (the cost will be shared equally)

We will take "timed" practice tests 62-71 under simulated conditions (I find this to be the best practice)

Blind review will be done individually at home

Come back with additional questions and we will try to help ourselves by helping each other

Most importantly, I would like all of us to be a positive influence

providing good moral support as well as holding each other accountable throughout the treacherous LSAT journey

If anyone is interested, leave me a comment or message me

And I will organize the Kakao Group Chat :)

Taking the September test next week [remotely] and I have been doing all my studying using my monitor and magic trackpad, I know the monitor will have to go on test day, but I scoured LSAC and Prometric's websites to see if a bluetooth mouse is allowed or not, the interest seems to indicate its fine but most answers are a few years old, so I'm unclear if policies have changed with the times or the new proctoring server.

Any guidance would be super helpful!

I took my diagnostic test recently, my test score was pretty mediocre. I feel confident in my LR sections, this is my strength. I always enjoyed this section and I am pretty consistent in getting these right. However, I tanked in the LG and RC section. I ran out of time in RC and that's were most of my missed questions came from. In the LG section, I read them all, but could not make sense of how to diagram or where to start.

I am aiming for the LSAT in October, but will probably take the Aug. test depending. I know I can score in my target range, but I really need to get the LG / RC sections up if I am to do so.

My question is, should I skip to LG / RC sections in the 7sage curriculum and focus on building these skills up? Or continue to work through the curriculum in order as listed? Does the material build on and I will be missing the fundamentals to LG or would it be okay to skip around and target my weak areas?

Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering on what's your approach on working through the Core Curriculum (CC) which includes some Practice Sets and then doing Extra Drills (making custom Drills on Problem Sets page). Specifically:

What is your weekly schedule like? While this is subjective, I am trying to understand what the balance of doing CC Topics, Practice Sets and extra Drills (if any) is for everyone.

Do you complete the week's assigned CC topics including all Problem Sets or leave some sets behind to come back say after finishing the CC?

When Doing the Problem sets after a CC topic (or even when doing extra Drills), what is your approach in regards to timing? I.E. Are you doing them in standard timing, or give yourself more time or do it in Untimed mode.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Few facts:

  • Planning on taking October LSAT

  • Started studying from beginning of June 2022

  • Working my way through LR section

    I was wondering how I should attack/understand this question?

    It asks if it discusses the relationship between the reliability and one of the AC's. What does relationship mean in this case? Is the question asking if the passage mentions some sort of a connection between the reliability and one of the answer choices?

    Thank you.

    Hi everyone, I'm currently struggling with RC (mainly timing issues). I'm working with standard time and it's just not enough for me. When I'm practicing with a little extra time or just untimed, I tend to write out my low-res, view points and all that stuff and I ZOOM through the questions missing no more than 1 or 2 at the most on the passages. When timing constraints are on, my note taking is shit and I can't comprehend the text as much as I should be and I rush. Do I just need to slowly get rid of the physical note taking?

    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!!

    I am anxious to see my LSAC GPA, the 7sage calculator shows a substantial increase because of my community college grades. This new GPA opens up doors that were otherwise closed. I don't want to get my hopes up until I see the academic report. I don't plan on applying until October 2024. All I have sent are my transcripts could I still purchase CAS??

    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!

    This question doesn't have an explanation, so here's my thought process.

    Question Stem- Principle Question

    Stimulus- Machines and tech alter our choices. (example). Clock altered our choices by allowing synch +. HOWEVER, clock also closed some doors. Living without clock is kinda impossible now.

    So Machines and tech that alter our choices can have some downsides as well.

    A. This makes sense, however, the use of "enslave" and "liberate" sounds really extreme. Keep for now.

    B. No. The stimulus no where says what people should and shouldn't do.

    C. That MAY be true, however, not what the stimulus is saying.

    D. The stimulus does not weigh the pros and cons, so we don't know if it was worth our dependence or not.

    E. "Most"??? We only know about one instance that made our life more synchronized and productive. There MAY be more machines. However, that is not within the scope of the premises, and therefore out.

    Only answer remaining- A. Correct.

    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.”

    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.

    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.

    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)

    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:

  • Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.

    • 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!
