Looking for a study buddy who are taking the LSAT in January 2025 to hit the 155-160s range. My Discord is PK#1370, feel free to contact me and hopefully work together to do great on the LSAT

I currently scoring in mid-160s, and the main issue holding me back is missing 2-3 level 1/2 questions at the beginning of the LR section. Any advice on how I can improve this? I initially thought it was due to rushing or overthinking, but I'm not completely sure at this point. Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve this?

Lately, anecdotal evidence has me thinking that the LSAT skews more toward the later answer choices (D and E) in what seem to be harder questions. I wonder if anyone has run some simple statistical analysis on this, and this would seem to be the site that does it.

Here's a few research questions that might yield interesting results (or not):

-For LR, taking the last 10 questions of all sections that have been released and taking a look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For RC, take the last 2 questions of each passage that has been released and look at the distribution of correct answer choices. Is there a skew toward D or E?

-For both of the above. Instead of just looking at the distribution, one thing I have noticed is that on many of the more difficult questions, LSAC tends to insert a misleading answer toward the beginning while the correct answer is at the end. This tactic exploits a psychological tendency that people have called "priming" where a given stimulus (like a tempting but wrong answer choice) shapes the way a test taker views later information. So for all questions in which more than 15% of test takers wrongly chose A or B, what is the distribution of correct answer choices? Is there a skew toward D or E?

The last research question is especially helpful because it provides a vital piece of information when you've narrowed down answer choices toward the end. It's a more pointed way at educated guessing than blinding picking D or E. I'd love to hear what people find, if anything.

Hi everyone! My name is Tony and I am currently PTing between 169-172 and it has been a long, long road. Anyways I am wondering if there is anyone here who is taking Jan exam who also took either Oct or Nov to come up with some strategies, anticipating question types and passage topics, ETC comment!!

Mainly the title but to add some context: most of the questions I get wrong I simply just misinterpreted the stimulus, whenever I watch a explanation video for a question I just didn't understand it always comes back to "I did not understand what I just read". To help with this I am actively reading on the side every day but if there is anything else I am missing please let me know. Furthermore, my analytics do not really show a pattern of question type that I am absurdly getting wrong. I have made study plans focusing on question types that I am not extremely confident with but I am wondering if I just need to take more tests or review the CC?

looking to really study for the jan test and would love to study with others!

i don't have any designated hours but ideally, i want to study throughout the day.

im in EST and GMT for the next month :)

If you’re interested, comment your discord info and I’ll friend you and add you to the group

do you think its better to take the same drill with the same questions or to take drills that resemble the test with the questions being mixed in terms of being really prepared for test day and the actual format that we are tested with

Recently been having trouble with the app. on my cellphone (android). Two problems in particular :

The background noise function is seemingly permanently turned up to 10. It just spits out constant noise even at the level 1 setting.

Oftentimes after like the 1st/2nd section the app will act as if it were the 4th/5th section and play the recording for turning in answer sheets and stop timing. I can fix it just by resetting the app, but it's kind of irritating when it happens in the middle of PTs.

Anyone else have this issue? How did you fix it?

I am kind of confused about why half of the questions I've done on a skill builder lesson disappear

I hope someone knows the answer to this question —

I am currently enrolled in a master's program (at a different school than that which I attended for undergrad), in which I have gotten straight A's. I know that graduate level courses do not count towards the LSAC's calculations of GPA. However, I have taken five undergraduate courses during the course of this program (4 were prerequisites and 1 is an elective language course). Will these undergraduate course grades count towards the calculation of my GPA when applying for law school?

Hey there,

We noticed an issue with our videos not playing on our app after the latest iOS update. Sorry about that!

We're investigating a fix but it might take a while. In the meantime, to access 7Sage on your iPhone or iPad, please use Safari or Chrome and go to 7sage.com and login from there.

Let us know (studentservice@7sage.com) if this is affecting you and we will add +1 month access time to your account for the trouble. 

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!

Have u guys noticed Chappell roan song titles are so close in spelling to LSAT topics ? Casual and Causal? Phenomenon- Femininomenon? 🤔 just another late night ponderance .

Hey,

I am looking for a study buddy. I live in Connecticut around Storrs area. I finished my CC. I currently work on PT 1-36 drills. Looking for someone who wants to put in 15+ hours a week.

Let me know or direct message. Thanks!

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!

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!

Correct answers in MSS questions are almost always one of two types: restatement of an idea from the stimulus or the conclusion of the stimulus (which was left unsaid in the stimulus).

But I've noticed a slight variant of the latter where the right answer choice asks us to identify a sub-conclusion -- slight more complex since we need to account for the premises and the conclusion stated in the stimulus. As a result, these operate a lot like a bridging question.

In 52.3.23, the stimulus gives us two survival benefits of HS and concludes from that support that a dense colony could survive indefinitely. That conclusion isn’t supported very strongly at all. There is so much we don’t know. But we need to accept the stimulus as true: these premises support that conclusion. It feels a lot like a bridge which means we are likely pushing out a sub-conclusion from the stimulus.

A. "If there was a dense colony then that colony would be capable of carrying out the two benefits indefinitely" (paraphrase). This is perfect -- it connects the survival benefits in the premises to the indefinite time horizon in the conclusion and in that way receives support.

B. This gives us a little more info about how one of those survival benefits operates but that's not supported by anything in the stimulus.

C. We don't know anything about "most organisms"

D. "If this bacteria thrives indefinitely, then HS has removed all oxygen and killed some organisms". There are two big problems here. First, it says these HS survival benefits are necessary for indefinite thriving. That's just not supported. What if we put the bacteria in a highly controlled lab environment with no oxygen and plenty of food which didin't need to be killed? Second, the stimulus doesn't say that all oxygen has to be removed.

E. Any colony? Ensures? Not supported in the least.

46.4.09 is another example of such a MSS although I think it is much more difficult.

Does anyone know if and how to view your LSAT Argumentative Writing submission after it has been completed?

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!

The system always says "enroll in a full course", but I'm already enrolled and paid. Now I can't study any lesson except the free trail. Am I the only person having this problem? Plz help!

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

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

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.

So I decided no to take the July LSAT even though the accommodation was appealing (still turns out we cant register for the September test with the freebie) So my question is, now that I dont have to rush.. I am currently halfway through the LG CC, should I full proof during the CC or after I finish the LG section of the CC?
