Check out JY’s explanation breaking down the passage for PT 42, Section 3, Passage 4. He shows how crucial it is to be able to visualize. It is a great passage to hit hard for review!
Hi everyone,
I've been studying on my own for about 5-6 months, and I am taking the June LSAT coming up. I just recently learned about 7sage and decided to subscribe in the month before my test. Obviously, I don't have nearly enough time to go through all of the material, which brings me to my question: are there are any lessons that you guys felt were the most helpful - or maybe triggered an "aha" moment in your brain - in each of LG, LR, and RC respectively?
Currently, LG is my strongest (scoring around 17-21/23) with LR and RC both behind trailing behind (19-20/25 and 20-21/27). Would welcome any advice given the one month timeline I have right now.
Thanks in advance!
I applied to HLS/CLS/Chi a few times, but since then my score (171) has expired and I retook this Oct.
I wrote a new PS for this cycle (using partly on my previous apps' PS) that's based on my long work-ex in tech industry.
Would be interested to know the feedback from those with law school experience.
I scored lower on my retake (168) than my first score (169)
I studied for the first take about 3-4 hours a day/5days a week for about 5 months, after a 5 month period in between
my retake was about 2-3 hours a day 4 days a week for another 4 months
My first score was my PT avg the month prior going into the test
My retake was a total underperformance, as I was PTing around 171-173 a month going in...
I retook because I was WL at my top school choices... with my 169...
I'm very disappointed because I really felt confident in my retake especially with a better familiarity of the material this time around...
my LG was 0/-1, LR 0/-4 (avg -2), RC was -3/-6 ( avg -4)
I have used all the recent PT's and the rest for sections and problem sets...
I am definitely thinking about August with the deadline approaching....
How do I approach studying as I used most of the material with no fresh PT to gauge my standing
I appreciate any input
Thank you all!
Hey everyone,
I just finished my LSAT writing section. However, I realized that when it prompted me to take a picture of my id, i held it away from the camera and next to my face on accident. I believe it will be super blurry, so is this something I need to worry about? Am I overreacting?
I need help really bad guys. I read the Ellen Cassidy book on Logical Reasoning and throughout my studies I've been doing really good on Logical Reasoning. I just hit the newest Practice Tests (80s) and it seems like every answer choice I pick is wrong. I'm struggling so bad with these newer tests and their abstract language. I'm crying and so so anxious about my upcoming test because it seems like nothing is working. It seems like all my work has been for nothing. Does anyone have any advice at all on how to reset my mindset for the newer Logical Reasoning sections? I try going to Manhattan Prep and watching JY's lessons on the new answer choices but it seems like literally nothing is helping.
Is there any available resource to compare how difficult PT-X's LG section with PT-Y's LG section as a whole?
E.g. for an average 170-scorer, how many approximate misses in PT-55 LG compared to PT-75 LG within 35 mins in strict test conditions.
This is not referring to how difficult an individual Game but only LG section as a whole.
Any data out there about how many people ultimately get a 90th percentile LSAT score + after multiple attempts? If I'm understanding the percentile charts correctly, approximately only 10% of folks get a score higher than a 166 in each administration. But not aware of data out there about "ultimate" scores across multiple test attempts.
any engineer/math majors who found it terribly difficult to do LG on computer-based test, and were able to get into 17x on computer-based lsat official administration?
how exactly do you work on lg on paper for every answer choice?
it seems much more difficult than LG during paper-based test days, as most if not almost all answer choices need transcribing on paper to be worked on.
earlier the answer choices were already on paper, so one could just draw on their top or check them against own diagram on paper.
i find it almost impossible now.
i have taken LSAT before during its paper-based days and have a 17x score, which is now expiring, and need retake.
LG was almost perfect for me on paper in 35 min.
but i have taken PT several times on computer now and it's much worse.
Hi All,
I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I started my LSAT journey with a diagnostic score of 140. I am currently scoring in the low 160s and blind reviewing at 174+. I plan to sit for the LSAT between September/October.
I am in need of a study buddy of the description below:
a) scores in the high 150s and low 160s;
b) interested in taking the LSAT in September/October;
c) aims at reaching a 170 ballpark; and
d) ready to be a committed and dedicated study buddy.
If this is you, please inbox me.
Second, I need people who are scoring in the 140s who want to raise their scores to mid 150s and low 160s. I would be sharing helpful information that has served me well in this process, especially on Logical Reasoning and Logic Games. This is all for free. It is my way of giving back to this community and also a means to solidifying the contents I have learned so far. Also, because the LSAT can be a lonely and frustrating journey, if you just want to vent, I am here for you. If you feel this is for you, please inbox me.
Whatever your score is at this time, please know that that is immaterial. You can reach any score you want in this test (regardless of your diagnostic score) if you are willing to mentally sweat for it.

I've watched some of JY's video explanations of comparative rc passages, and in each one, he suggests reading the first passage, going through the questions and eliminating what doesn't fit, and then going to the second passage, then going back to the questions and selecting final answers. I see the intuition behind this strategy and have tried applying it, however I notice that I end up taking significantly longer on comparative passages than other reading comp passages, even when the content is more mild in terms of readability. So I was just wondering if other people find that this method doesn't work for them and whether they find more success reverting back to the traditional way of doing RC? I know everyone's different when it comes to rc, but I'm mainly wondering whether maybe this strategy is something more concrete like LR strategies, or if it truly is just preference. Thanks!
These numbers are hardly moving. Granted, I have been on here for less than two months, but for some reason each time I log in and see this I feel discouraged and hopeless. Any suggestions?
ps. I plan to take July 23 test
They did release 'new' PTs that turned out to be reused versions of the old PTs, without the LG sections. I'm planning to take lsat before August so I'm mainly looking for 'actual' new PTs after the 2020s, there must be a pretty sizeable amount they've saved up so far + these old PTs have LG sections in them which probably are going to be abandoned altogether with the new system. Does anyone think they'll be releasing them anytime soon?
Hello all,
I recently took the June 2022 Test and am not pleased with my score. Compared to my other test in January I did improve but only by 3 points. 133-136. I know not the best and a bad score. But my score I need is only a 146. So I’m 10 points off.
By this fall, I’m starting a career job, and all. But I am contemplating a retake for a third test in the future.
I need advice though: should I wait and study longer? Since this last test I studied from February to Early June so almost 4 months. But this time should I take 8-12 months instead? Also, what other strategies would anyone recommend this time around? Mix of 7Sage, Books and a tutor?
Again, I think I am going to take a 2-3 week break to strategize a new plan with any advice y’all can give me and hit the ground running in August/early September
Thanks.
Hello 7Sagers,
Anyone have an alternate way from JY's of conceptualizing the game board set up on this one?

Happy studying!
If I am taking my first LSAT in August, and have already begun studying the syllabus, how should I incorporate practice drills and PTs to maximize my efficiency? Should I complete the syllabus fully and then complete practice drills and PTs after? Or should I mix in practice drills and PTs within my studying of the syllabus?
If any of you want to discuss whether or not you should cancel your June LSAT, you can book a free 15-minute consultation with members of our admissions team here: https://calendly.com/d/dtn-f57-4n6/should-i-cancel
I am having trouble understanding what the question means when asking what is "IMPLICIT in the authors argument"
I am registered for the June 2024 LSAT. Should I be taking the Legacy mode which has 4 scored sections or the Current mode which has 3 scored sections. I know that the June 2024 LSAT only has 3 scored sections, but the current mode does not seems to have an additional experimental section.
We have three people showing up at an upcoming study session at Gangnam on Wednesday, July 9 from 8:00 pm-11:00 pm. One member has an official score of 172 and the other member is scoring in mid-150s. We are looking to hit at least 175+ on the LSAT. The fee for using a study cafe meeting room is only 1,900 KRW per person for each hour. We do not make a profit out of this study session. Please send me a direct message if you are interested in joining the study next week.
Hello!
Across my last 15 PTs (50s - 80s) I consistently scored -1 to 0 on LG. I consider it by far my best section and can always rely on it to carry my score. However, on both the April and June LSATs, the last game completely destroyed me. I found myself guessing on 3+ problems, which I never do in any of my practice tests. It was not a time issue either; I had plenty of time during both tests yet could barely get past the game board setup stage since the questions felt so different from the PTs.
After the April test I practiced a ton of different games at all difficulties and had really high confidence going into June's test, only to be destroyed by the last game again. How can I prepare for LG for the August LSAT? I feel like I've done a billion games on 7Sage and consistently get -1 to 0 on all of them, yet when I get to the real thing it feels completely foreign.
Which LGs are similar to the April/June 5 star games?
Hi,
I have went through the cc of 7sage a little bit ago, and are moving into the LG section of the cc. However, as many have recommended, I have been trying to incorporate LR drills while going through the LG section of cc. I have been trying to do drills in LR specifically focusing on question types but seem to still be getting a lot wrong even with BR. In addition, I have purchased the Loophole since many said the supplemental material helps a lot. I was just wondering on anyone's recommendations on how to study? (I can dedicate a majority of my time studying since I only work PT as well). (I also have not touched RC at all in cc yet) Should I work through the Loophole before continuing anymore drills on 7sage? Should I still try to go through LR and LG at the same time, or how should I work through both most effectively? Any and all advice much appreciated!!!

Hi I just did a logic game in PT9 (S3 G3). I was wondering if you know of another logic game in the practice question bank that is similar to PT9 S3 G3? I would like to practice a similar game type under a different scenario.
Hi! I'm looking for a study buddy in Montreal (planning to write the coming September exam). Feel free to leave a comment or message me if you'd like to study together/stay accountable!
