Should I be watching the video for core curriculum and solving the problems before hand?

I am clicking the link to link my 7sage account with LawHub, however it isn't working. Does anyone know how to link the two accounts?

I'm trying to identify flaws. is PT 56 S3 Q10 an equivocation flaw; can you use more than a word but a concept in this type of flaw?

Is PT 52 S3 Q4 a false appeal flaw?

Is PT 54 S4 Q16 an implication flaw ?

thanks

So when I do the drills I am placing around a 159 but my times are disgusting. Anybody have advice on how to get faster?

I already purchased the in-person classes sessions. Where can I find all information regarding the classes so I can start preparing for this week classes?

Hey 7Sagers!

We're launching the beta version of the new Core Curriculum which teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively! If you're curious, go to your account settings via this link: https://classic.7sage.com/account/?try_v2=1

❗ Remember, this version is still undergoing beta testing. You may come across a few quirks or notice some features from Version 1 that aren't quite yet integrated. We're doing our best to fully switch over, and we appreciate your patience as our team makes the switch!

If you want to learn more, you can watch this YouTube video:

💡 Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions regarding Version 2. If your question isn't answered on this forum post, then feel free to comment and ask below! For now, please keep all questions regarding the new Core Curriculum on this thread. If you have any feedback regarding Version 2, we'd love to hear it, too!

So...what's the difference?

CCv2 (Core Curriculum Version 2) presents LR through a more streamlined and unified theoretical framework. It's not completely different from CCv1, but we've thoroughly explained LR in CCv2. The RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same.

The new core lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

Can I switch back to Version 1 if I want to?

Yes! If you would like to switch back to the old Core Curriculum, scroll to the top of our "Syllabus" page and click the "Switch to V1" button. It's next to the "Collapse" button.

Should I immediately switch?

We think yes. Since Version 2 teaches Logical Reasoning more efficiently and effectively, we recommend switching to CCv2 completely. Please note that the RC and LG lessons of both CCv1 and CCv2 are the same. What's changed are the Foundations and Logical Reasoning lessons. Additionally, the new lessons use LR questions from PrepTests 61-65, so if you're down to your last few clean PTs and they happen to be those, then this probably isn't for you. But if you're not worried about running out of clean PTs, then this is a great opportunity to see what we've been cooking up!

I've already completed Version 1. Should I go back and redo Version 2?

In this situation, the best way to utilize Version 2 is to look at which question types in your analytics you think you should prioritize, and then view the new lessons for that question type. For example, if your analytics say that you should prioritize Sufficient Assumption questions, then go study and review the new lessons on Sufficient Assumptions.

Version 2 is shorter than Version 1. Should I be worried?

Not at all! JY has explained the Logical Reasoning lessons in Version 2 in a more efficient manner. The RC and LG sections are still the same.

I'm around halfway through LR in Version 1. Should I switch over to Version 2 to complete LR, or should I stick with Version 1?

With where Version 2 is right now, we think you'll get the most out of your studies by switching over. There's no need to redo modules that you've already done, unless you find yourself needing a refresher, but we think that Version 2 approaches LR in a more unified theoretical framework, which can help with your learning process!

I can't find CCv2 in my Syllabus!

Email our student services and let them know (studentservice@7sage.com). They can switch your account on the back end.

Are the lessons in CCv2 fully complete?

Yes! CCv2 is fully complete and you can use it without switching back to CCv1.

Why are there no video lessons for the Foundation lessons?

JY is currently in the process of recording video lessons for the Foundation lessons. Stay tuned for updates on their availability!

I bought the 7sage core subscription earlier this week and then purchased the LawHub advantage subscription today. When I try to access practice tests on 7sage, I keep getting a message that I have a LawHub account linked, but it's not the advantage subscription. I checked and both accounts are under the same email address. I also tried the trouble shooting tips, but it's still not allowing me access.

Hey there,

Anyone interested in virtually body doubling for April's test? We'd zoom while studying separately but the body double aspect helps your brain stay on task. It's like getting the pros of studying in a coffee shop without having to deal with loud talking and spending money every study session. We could also follow the pomodoro method while studying so we have built-in breaks with our study blocks. I just took the January test and I'm waiting until first week of February to resume studying. No official score but the four PTs I've taken ranged from 159-165. I need to buckle down and learn LG until it's second nature for me. Will also be drilling a lot of RC and then toward the end of my prep I'll be doing the PTs in the 80s and 90s.

I'm Mountain Standard time and during the week I'll be available to study from 7 pm-9 pm. Maybe even 5 am - 6 am as the test gets closer.

Drop a comment if interested!

Hi, I finished a 7Sage podcast from two months ago talking about the changes to the LSAT. I heard that there will be a new 7Sage platform at the end of January, so what does that mean if I am currently working in the core curriculum? Will there be a change? Also, there are many more LR questions than the two other sections. Is that intentional?

I have no idea how to put everything I want (need) to put in my personal statement. For example, I'm a veteran, mom of 7 children(one of whom passed away), I did stand up comedy and professional acting for 5 years, and I have 3 Gigi babies. All this on top of other stuff. I have no idea how to get all this stuff in without making my PS a novel

I take my first LSAT in about an hour and don't feel great about it. I am still consistently -10 or worse on the logic games section, and roughly -5 on LR. My RC is fine, within a -3. I've seen that some law schools do average test scores between all the LSATs you take and some do not. I also know with score preview you can choose to discard the score. That makes it feel like a glorified diagnostic test to me, but I'm really not confident in my score. How do you decide to discard a score or keep it?

I plan on taking the LSAT in April (and June if I’m not satisfied w my score) but I recently discovered Logic Games would be retiring August 24’ - https://www.lsac.org/blog/what-to-expect-starting-with-august-2024-lsat

I’m curious to know how we feel about logic games. Personally, I’m most concerned with timing and feel that varying assessments type on an exam could work to my advantage.

Hello!

Just wondering if anyone knows whether having 'part-time' on my transcript in my final semester has any negative impact on my application to T14 schools. For context, I had credits from APs which allowed me to take 4 instead of 5 classes some semesters and as it is now my final semester I only need 3 courses to graduate. However, while 4 classes is still considered full-time (and 5 classes is the maximum load in a BA at my uni) 3 classes is considered part-time and my transcript will reflect that. Additionally, taking 3 classes gives me a significantly greater amount of time to study for the LSAT which I am aiming to take in April so I can avoid the issue of losing LG in the LSAT.

Is anyone familiar with the issue? Thanks!

I figured out that this was a game someone made up to challenge themselves. Thanks all!

I found the answer...

Hi! Anyone have any simple tips on how to increase speed? I am taking the January LSAT but was curious to know if there any tips out there I should avail? (Ie. eliminating answers that have specific strong words, etc.)

I've noticed that sometimes these questions have an answer that's something like "indifferent" when referring to an author's attitude on a subject in an RC passage. Is indifferent ever really the right answer? I understand that maybe very rarely it might be the answer, but I just feel like they almost never put a passage where the author is really "indifferent" even if they don't include ANY of the author's own opinions or any polarizing words. I have fallen for the trap too many times where I see a passage and pick indifferent because I don't feel like the author has really had much of an opinion, but I don't think it's ever been the right answer. Curious about other's thoughts. This is probably one of my worst question types lol

I have been averaging a 173 through my last few prep tests and I have come to have a pretty good intuition about what I scored before I actually see it. I know in my gut that I maxed out at mid-high 160s on the January test and just don't know how to use the time before Februarys test. Should I go back to basics and try the other version of the syllabus, or just drill.

I am a week into LSAT studying, about halfway through the “Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis Questions” section, and am wondering when I should start seeing close to 5/5 with BR on drills and quizzes? For the most part, I do well on the videos J.Y. goes over with us as part of the curriculum, but am being absolutely wrecked during drills, even with BR. I have months before taking my first official LSAT (June probably), but am curious whether I should be absolutely nailing these sections before moving on any further, or if I should continue through the syllabus as it will all fall together later on. Thanks in advance!

Dear all,

I came across this article on avg URM LSAT and GPA by school but it is from 2017 and was wondering how accurate it is. I have not been able to find anything more recent:

https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/do-underrepresented-minority-urm-applicants-have-a-law-school-admissions-advantage/

It basically goes through a dataset of admitted/rejected applicants and shows which schools have lower LSAT/GPA medians for URMs versus their overall medians.

Thanks,

Hi folks,

I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow. I just realized that my photo from my previous LSAT tests is of me with hair. I recently shaved my head and think I should probably upload a photo of me with a shaved head. But I don't know how to upload a new photo. Can someone help? Thanks

I know CCv2 is suitable for the August 2024 LSAT given the removal of LG in June 2024, so I should probably pursue CCv2; however, I've already mapped out a 6mo study schedule with CCv1 which has ~820 courses whereas CCv2 has ~540. The minimized course offerings in CCv2 cut out ~2.5 months of study time. This is important because I want to pace my study schedule such that I am prepared for the August 2024 LSAT.

What's a good way to pursue CCv2 without majorly disrupting my study schedule?

Perhaps I blend courses from CCv1 and CCv2 to extend the study period or simply add more PTs to my new CCv2 study plan?

Hi everyone,

I've been studying for almost a year and I have put in a lot of hours but I'm not making any more progress than I already have, especially in LR and RC. My diagnostic score was a 141, my personal best is a 155, and my goal is a 165.

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations to improve my LR score? It's getting very discouraging to invest so much time and money into this test and not get the score I want after so long.

I've done nearly the entire core curriculum and hundreds of problem sets in drills but it's not translating on actual prep tests and I'm very nervous to not get the score I want for when I take the test in April and June.

Any bit of help is greatly appreciated, even just saying what your strategy is for each question stem if it's different compared to what I do or what JY does.

Thanks!

Hello all!

I am planning on retaking the LSAT on January after having taken it in August 2023 and not getting the score I wanted.

I wanted to know if there was anyone else in the area that was going through a similar timeline on taking the LSAT in January 2024 so I can have a support group that speak with! I work full-time as a paralegal and get to study for 2-3 hours in the evening + weekends. I got a 140 in August and I'm hoping to improve my score by atleast 15 points.

I'm in FL but wanting to go to MA for Law School. Also any advise on that transition is greatly welcomed !

Thanks!
