Does anyone know how to indent bullets and or numbered lists via keyboard shortcut on 7sage? When I try to indent/nest my points using the Tab key, the input focus just tabs over to the "Save" button field. Does anyone know how to get around this? If there are any resources listing keyboard shortcuts specifically for using keyboard shortcuts in the Lesson Notes sections of Unit Lessons and Explanations, please drop a link in the comments. Thanks y'all!

Prior to PSA while going through the content I was fairly confident in my try it yourself question answers and was getting them right a high percentage of the time. However since SA I have been struggling on these questions and am getting fairly easy questions wrong. I realize that I am also unable to identify wrong answers as easily as the previous questions types and just wanted to ask if anyone had any tips on how I could do better on SA, NA, AP, MoR, and Flaw.

Hi gang,

I have been trying my best to implement a low-res summary approach to my RC passages. However, I find that taking time to perform these low res summaries takes some precious time away from actually answering questions. Is one word sufficient enough for something like a low res summary? Any tips out there for time reduction?

Sincerely,

Your Friendly LSAT Studier

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this question has already been addressed, as it likely has, but I haven't found enough information to fully determine what I should do about the lower LSAT score I received today.

Regrettably, I have taken the LSAT 6 times this past year (this fact itself might require an addendum). Despite going overboard and being generally impatient, my trajectory has been a good one, at least until today: cancellation > 163 > 164 > 169 > 171 > 166. To my eyes, the 166 completely devalues the 171 that I had just a month before. And yet I've resolved to not cancel the score. Instead, I've been considering bringing up the drop in score in an addendum. However, I'm not confident that the explanation, reasonable as it is to me, is good enough to warrant an addendum. I was just feeling a ill the morning of the exam and my brain fogged a lot more than usual. Panic also set in when I realized that I couldn't focus on the exam at all. Alternatively, I could just not bring up the drop in score at all and to not shine any undue spotlight onto it. Mostly, I want the adcoms to know that I feel that the upwards trend truly represents my abilities, not the one blip at the end of it. But I worry that stating it so baldly without good reason might do my application a disservice. Any thoughts?

Thank you for any help you might have.

Just wanted to share my experience in case it may be helpful to anyone, as I know I found some of these posts comforting while going through the test process.

My original diagnostic score from November of 2023 with no prep was a 161. I then began prepping casually on Khan Academy and scored PTs of 163, 162, and 162. Once I decided to commit to the LSAT I began a different test prep program other than 7Sage and registered for the June 2024 exam. Within this program I had these PT scores 162, 160, 164, 158, 161, 165, 164, 165. On the June LSAT I scored a 162 and was extremely disappointed because I had made nearly no progress from my diagnostic. Luckily I was able to get my money back from that other prep program and my friend recommended 7sage.

After starting individual tutoring with 7sage I immediately started feeling better and more confident and planned to take the September LSAT. My PT scores were as follows: 164 (174 BR), 167 (169 BR), 168 (169 BR), 169 (170 BR), 169 (176 BR), 167 (BR 168). Then, my last PT before the LSAT did not go to plan due to testing environment conditions and I got a 163. Obviously this shook my confidence a little bit but after talking with my tutor I was able to relax a little bit. I ended up getting a 171 on the September LSAT, and while I am confident if I continued to study I could improve even more, I am feeling pretty good about executing on test day and earning my pb for a timed score.

I felt so defeated after the June test, and even before checking my results from September I was so anxious that I would not improve my score. All this to say I highly recommend the individual tutoring program and always go into test day confident and knowing that you could get your best score yet on the official test.

Hi all,

I recently finished the core curriculum’s lessons on logical reasoning and tried my first PT after my diagnostic. My diagnostic was a 150, and my second PT was a 144, after finishing the core curriculum’s lessons on logical reasoning. I tried another PT today and score a 146. Can I increase my score to a 170 by October? I plan to write the lsat in October and should have sufficient time to study, but am worried about the lack of progress. How do I improve my lsat score? Is it just about practicing questions and trying as many as possible?

Thanks in advance

Posting here once again to source ideas for my LSAT study group. We do study groups (loophole and PT BRs) and game nights (kahoot and jeopardy) on a near daily basis but if anyone else has ideas please lmk. We have also been having some sessions dedicated just to conditional logic. Can add people if there’s interest in joining. I also have the links to a couple other groups so can invite people to those too

Hey everyone,

The new LR tags are pretty confusing to me. The basic ones before I found were easy to understand in terms of what I needed to work on. Now it's telling me to work on what seems to be broad types of questions like Value Judgement and I just want to know the specific question types. Can I make it go back to the original analytical tags or is this permanent?

Thanks!

Hey, I am struggling to decide which one of the following strategies would be most effective- typically now I flag 8-10 questions per section. Would it be better to circle back to the harder ones im very unsure of first (less than 50% confidence), and use up my remaining time to try and seek out the right answer. OR would my time be better spent checking over the ones I flagged that I had 75-85% confidence in? For reference I usually have 6/7 im decently confident in, and 2-3 im very unsure/debating. Risk is i spend my time checking over the 6/7 quickly, and sacrifice the 2-3, or i spend my time on the 2-3 and risk still getting them wrong since theyre the hardest ones AND not double checking the easier ones and maybe getting 1 of those wrong. Pros and cons to each side, but I cant seem to make up my mind. Wondering if anyone currently uses any of these strategies to try and get the most accuracy in the last 5 ish mins when theyre checking over their answers, please let me know!

Hey everyone and Happy New Year's! As we enter 2025 and manifest high scores in the months to come, I thought it'd be great to find a local study group. Is there anyone in the St. Louis area who would like to work together or who knows of a group that's already formed?

Thank you!

Does anyone know of any resources that resemble the skill builders from the core curriculum, but mix them all up together? Since the skill builders lump all the similar ones in order, I can feel my brain zoning out and not actually learning the drill but instead just copying and pasting the format of the answer.

I am going to make a quizlet that basically mixes all the skill builders from the foundations unit, but figured I'd see if it already exists before I do!
