Hey guys,

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or tips they can offer me with regards to these Logical reasoning question types. I'm currently PT'ing at around 170 and I typically get -2 on LR but it seems that these two areas are my weakest. I've watched the videos on them but it still seems like there is something I'm missing, especially since this is considered one of the easier more basic types.

Hello!

I'm looking for a study buddy so that we can motivate each other and also work through/review some difficult questions together. in the late 70s and 80s I believe mental wellbeing is super important, so I would prefer working with someone who is a good communicator that has (or tries) to have a positive attitude toward the LSAT!

I have gone through the Powerscore LG and LR Bibles, LSAT Trainer, JY's LG videos, and Loophole. I have completed every PT from 50-89....and working on foolproofing LG

I would say my weakest section is RC and strongest section is LG, but I really want to do well in every section because each part is weighted equally now.

I would like to meet once or twice a week; evenings EST work best for me, so that would be ideal!

Please message me or comment if you're interested! Thanks

I struggle with reading answering all the questions within the 35 minute time frame. Anyone have any advice on this?

Hi 7sagers,

I had a quick question regarding RC. Something I've noticed when I'm doing RC is that on trickier problems, I almost always am able to eliminate the answers down to two answer choices, and at this point, I know one is the right answer and the other one is a trap answer.

Here is an example of a situation I'm talking about -

on PT51 Passage 4 Q27, I KNEW the answer was between b) and d), and it was just a matter of choosing the answer choice that's supported by the text. (right answer is d), I chose b)).

I realized this happens on many questions on RC where I am able to eliminate the answers down to two choices but fall for the trap answer about 80% of the time.

I wanted to ask the 7sage community if you have any tips when you are faced with this situation of having to choose between one right answer and one trap answer! Do you go back to the text to find support? How do you "logic" it out?

Looking to study 5:30am- 8:30am Monday-Friday Central Time.

Looking for people scoring in the low 150s to get to the high 150s/low 160s.

Wanting to take the exam either Nov (if possible) or January.

Plan:

We can figure some out for RC lol

Please comment email below. Looking for 2-3 people.

Hi there,

I wrote the August LSAT and scored a 149, so I have registered to take the November LSAT. I studied this summer with PowerScore books and Khan academy, but really enjoyed the 7Sage LR videos that are on YouTube- which made me decide to join 7Sage for access to the Logic Games videos in particular. I was PTing in the high 150s before I took the test, so getting a 149 was a bit of a shock.

My excuse/disclaimer is that I am currently on parental leave and home with a now 4-month old baby, so studying has been tricky. I'm excellent at managing my time during his naps and after both my kids are in bed, but I am well aware there is a lot of ground to cover in the 7sage curriculum and I won't have enough time.

My question is, in this situation- how would you suggest focussing my time? I struggle most with Logic Games, though I'm obviously not nailing LR or RC either.

I can commit at least 20 hours a week (approx. 3-4 hrs a day, 6 days), give or take.

Thanks for the advice!

I don't even know what to do anymore! My first test (In person last year) was my best score despite me PTing around high 160s that time. I have basically just been doing practice flexes for the past 3-4 months and somehow still scored my worst on the August flex despite PTing consistently 174+ (even two 180s!) I really don't know where to go from here. I plan on taking November and know I can break 170 if not do even better. I would really appreciate some advice from some people who have been through this themselves.

Anyone living in midtown nyc area looking to be study buddies? I finally broke 160 and I'm taking on a bold ambitious goal to hit the 170 mark for the November test

Does anyone have the same feeling?

I bombed every single LR section after PT70.

I find that LR questions after 70 allows more room for making subtle assumptions and hence the answer choices are not as clear as before. This is probably the reason why I got trapped more often.

I indicated to LSAC that I don't have a quiet place to test and haven't heard anything back from them. Has anyone else had this problem? I saw a while ago someone said LSAC gave them a reimbursement for a hotel room and wondering if I should reach out to them or if they will let me know what they can offer

Question says it all.

I want to cancel my score using the Score Preview for First-Time Test Takers but does anyone know if this will also wipe my writing sample? I'm not keen on taking the writing portion again.

Hi, I have a problem when testing my laptop by ProctorU.

It shows my camera width and height could not be found, while I allowed my camera on the website and I could see myself.

Does it happen to anyone else?

Thanks!

I'm taking the October Flex and will be studying full-time until then. My average is 162 and my goal score is 168 with a floor in the mid 160s. I'm starting to hit a wall around -7 RC, -5 LG, and -5 LR. If anyone else is in a similar place and would be interested in coordinating PTs so we can BR and review them together, please let me know. I'm planning to take PTs every other day until my test on October 8. I've been doing even numbered PTs and am up to PT70 so the schedule would probably consistent of even-numbered PTs from 72 to 88. Thanks!

I took the August test and scored much lower than anticipated. I am applying to T20 schools. Should I cancel the score? I've been scoring 168-170 on practice tests for the past 4 months but scored in the low 160s. I'm taking the October test.

Hi everyone!

I'm having a hard time with parallel method of reasoning questions. I know that I have to find the method in the stimulus and find the answer choice that uses the same method. Any tips?

Thanks in advance,

Amy

Okay, so I'm currently running through SA's and PSA's and ran into this and actually gave it some time to sit with me (after looking it up on the actual explanation video, powerscore forums, manhattan prep forums) and I've come to rationalizing D as such:

"So what the general idea is:

Adopt tax package > Discontinue daily story time > Inconvenience parents.

or

Adopt package > Inconvenience parents.

For some reason this exists, which is what makes [D] right:

Adopt package > [Inconvenience Parents > DONT adopt package]

Technically, could be true. The truth is that WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF SUFFICIENT IS TRIGGERED (If " Inconvenience parents " is triggered, and we move the diagram forward). This could mean that we can NOT adopt (/Adopt)"

Is this the correct way of thinking about this?

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-23-section-3-question-14/

This is from PT 46 LR 24.

For this statement "Anything that exists would continue to exist even if everyone were to stop believing in it", I know that to write it in a conditional, it would be:

If exists --> continue to exist even if everyone were to stop believing in it.

My question is on contraposing this conditional. My question is what to do with the "even if" in the negated form. Would this be the correct way to read the contrapositive of the above conditional?

If it does not continue to exist even if everyone were to stop believing in it --> does not exist, or could you also say,

If it does not continue to exist after everyone were to stop believing in it --> does not exist?

I know at this point this is a very cosmetic difference, but something about "even if" makes it sound like you're limiting certain possibilities, whereas "after" makes it more open-ended. I would love to hear some thoughts on this!

So could anyone give me some advice on LR timing?

I had some suggestion such as

Could anyone give me their advice?

Has anyone applied early decision to their first choice law school and received an email from the dean of admission? I'm wondering if this is a good sign. If anyone has an experience like this please please let me know.

I'm not quite sure what constitutes as a Professional/Occupational License, as there is no list. I'm assuming careers like nursing and trade unions are a given. But how long is the list?

For my example I've been in the Food, Beverage and Hospitality for almost a decade now. I was at a point to studying to become a certified wine educator. I got as far as "advanced" but no "diploma". The link below explains a lot more of what the certifications entail.

Hi! I'm revisiting the LR work and I feel like I've just learned so many things and there are so many things to keep in mind that I've getting a little bogged down. Does anyone have any helpful tips on how the transferred the material they learned in the course content into memory, and then into application for timed sections? I'd really appreciate it!!

*To clarify, I have all the notes and study materials, but I'm having trouble utilizing it efficiently and memorizing all the considerations.

Hello! I'm looking to form a small study group for the Nov. test. I'm currently PT-ing in the 165 range (BR 176-178) and aiming to get to 171-173. Currently, I'm averaging -3/4 for LR (aiming to get down to -1/2) and -4/5 for RC (aiming to get it down to -3/4. For LG, I'm struggling with time and not getting to the last game (working on it! :) )

I'd love to create a group with people with similar stats. It would be great to sync up on practice tests. I've done PT 60-72, so study buddies around low 70s PTs would be amazing! Trying the cadence of 3/week at least and regularly meeting to review PTs at that similar cadence.

Things I'm personally working on:

Feel free to send me a direct message with your situation and we can see if it is a good fit both ways!!
