I find the way 7sage goes through the reading comp passages soooo useful. Although I have one problem and do not really know how to navigate it. If I take my time when going through the RC passages and review it the way I learn in the videos, I find myself taking 30 minutes to do 2 passages...and that's just not good.
How do you guys condense your time reviewing the passages, while using JY's method?
I keep choosing the second best answer, and then watch the explanation videos and understand why the answer I chose was wrong, but yet I keep doing it. Any advice on this?
Hi guys,
I know that it's not good to start in the Spring semester compared to the Fall semester but let's just say that I start in the Spring semester then plan on transferring after 1L to a better law school.
Is it actually possible to transfer after 1L with spring semester start? or do you know any schools that do accept?
I know that you can for the Fall semester start and I know that it's going to be difficult and people will say I shouldn't attend if I plan on transferring to a new school.
But besides all that, is it possible?
Any experience or opinions?
Thank you.
Hey ya'll, I'm a 170 scorer and I'm planning on taking the August (or September) LSAT, I was wondering if there'd be any high scorers out there like 176s that'd be willing to study with me and discuss logical reasoning questions?
They do say that it's also helpful for people who know their stuff to continuously articulate their thinking to others in order to solidify that knowledge :D and I can be a good listener. I found that I learn a lot more when I talk to people about my thinking and hear their input, so it'd be great if I could establish this with someone.
Thanks!
I have been looking at the LSAT for many months probably couple years on and off due to work, etc. It still takes me half a day to complete one LR section and I still get -8 wrong. I don’t intend to stop studying though. I feel like a turtle in the race. Thank you for reading.
I plan to take the August 2024 test without the Logic Games, is there any way to take all Games-related info out of my 7 sage to reduce clutter? Thanks
I previously chose B and got it wrong. I now see why A is the correct answer.
The question stated "People would not follow a leader if they felt there was nothing they could gain by following that leader. Therefore, even those leaders who are incompetent or evil bring some good to their followers."
In lawgic, this translates to "If they felt there was nothing they could gain by following that leader, people would not follow a leader. Therefore, even those leaders who are incompetent or evil bring some good to their followers."
Nothing to Gain (/GA) --> Not Follow a Leader (/FL). So /GA-->/FL. The contrapositive of this is FL-->GA. (If you follow a leader, then you have something to gain).
Following Incompetent or Evil Leader (FIEL) --> Bring Some Good (BG). So FIEL-->BSG
A most closely matches this.
(Expound upon theories) EUO-->BT (Believe are True)
(Any theory expounded) ATE-->GOT (Grain of Truth)
B talks about worst circumstances and then vicious people. But A sticks with the subject of theories being expounded upon, and the stimulus talks about following leaders.

Hello! I am getting ready to write my second letter of continued interest for a school I am on the waitlist for.
I have 2 questions:
(I am aware that these are very specific questions, but I want to make sure I do this right and maximize my chances) Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!
Hey yall - I noticed a big discrepancy in my PT scores when grading my tests via the grader function on the 7sage app (from google play if that matters) vs when I use the actual website analytics page. The grader function usually shows a higher score than the analytics. Wondering if the grader function on the app is based off of old score conversions? or if my analytics page is not using the modern scaling (it says it does but not entirely sure)? Help! Thanks.
Can someone explain why the answer isn't D?
Why is the answer "B" instead of "A?"
Some historians believe that "the decline in wheat production was due to:"
1 Excessive irrigation
2 Lack of drainage
1 and #2 together lead to salt accumulation, problem #3
The way I understand it is that wheat production requires too much water, there isn't enough drainage, and salt builds up as a result of these two problems.
So with answer choice A, if barley requires less water than wheat, then does that strengthen the belief that they solved the too much water to produce problem (#1), the lack of drainage problem since less water needs to be drained (#2), and consequently salt accumulation is not a problem because the two problems causing it no longer are in the picture?
B, on the other hand, just accounts for salt buildup, but that is only a part of the problem because even if salt buildup doesn't matter anymore, we never accounted for too much water or the lack of irrigation.
Hopefully that makes sense and I appreciate any help.
Hey all,
I was kicked out of the virtual exam room eight (8) times during the exam, twice during each section, at roughly 15-20 minute intervals. After the eighth time, the Prometric system said that if I 'abandoned' the test again, I wouldn't be allowed to rejoin and finish it. As a result, I had to rush through the final section and guess on half of the questions just to guarantee that I finished before getting kicked again. I have no idea why it happened. It could have been connectivity issues, but I work from home twice a week with no issues and even upgraded my home internet to 5G before the test specifically for this reason. Regardless of the cause, I was kicked out of the test midsection, forced to rejoin the test, and go through the security/screening process 8 times, which obviously wasn't ideal for doing well.
It's a long shot, but do you know if I have any options regarding whether I can get this test expunged, retake it, or even take the issue up with LSAC or Prometric? I'm not hopeful of anything, but I'd appreciate any help or advice you all could have.
Should I be doing PTs throughout doing the curriculum or just be doing drills and wait until I have finished all the curriculum and learned the question types before starting to PT. I don't want to be wasting time or resources doing PTs if it doesnt make sense to do them until ive finished the curriculum, or should I still be doing them regardless
Do you all prefer to keep the ability to see your original answers on or off when blind reviewing? Why or why not? This question came up for me while I was BRing a RC section of a PT.
Hello,
I currently have a problem where my computer lags when I do the drill sets, and it often freezes for a minute or so. I think it's because there are so many comments that it has trouble processing it. I already tried clearing the cache and cookies, and it didn't work. I'm wondering if there's a way for me to minimize the comments or collapse it momentarily so I can finish the drill sets. Thanks
I am just happy that I have finished the test today and got sort of valuable experience for sure. A bit lost for some time out of panick. Remote testing at home. No technical issue encountered, proctor was very friendly. Had a ten-minute intermission for the restroom, came back and went through security check.
Honestly, LG was not that hard, and it was the only reason I rushed to take the test this time because I have practiced a lot over a long period.
My goal is 170+, which I know, is only realistic with tons of efforts, at least, for myself.
I will continue to study for the next one in Aug.

Hello everyone, should we study at all before taking a diagnostic test? Thank you!
Have the lessons related to logic games been taken out of the program? It seems as if the sections on logic of intersecting sets, conditional and set logic, & others are logic games?
I am wondering if the questions on the 7sage Drills are taken from LSAC directly? or are they written by 7sage
this is silly but i can literally hear J.Y's little "um...okayyyyy?" in my head whenever i'm eliminating LR answers it's actually really helpful
Have you ever found yourself grappling with a complex idea, struggling to understand its intricacies? Whether you're a student tackling a difficult subject or a professional trying to grasp a new concept, simplifying complex ideas can be a game-changer. Fortunately, there's a systematic approach you can follow to break down even the most intricate concepts into manageable chunks. In this article, we'll explore a four-step guide to simplifying complex concepts effectively.
Step 1: Grasp the Core Idea
Every complex concept has a core idea at its heart. Your first task is to identify and understand this central concept. Start by breaking down the concept into its simplest form. What is it trying to explain or convey? What problem does it solve? Once you grasp the core idea, you'll have a solid foundation to build upon.

Just took the june exam-6th. LR was so weird but not hard-if you memorize a bunch of ways on how to do it you fail very abstract. LG - they kind of gave up on it almost like a joke, the first RC so boring in addition to those Russian names , should be illegal to include literature in comparative passages, the second one was a cake walk-pt 19 vibes. what happened to good stuff like formal logic, necessary assumptions....there no telling on this one.
Hello,
I am looking for advice. My current plan is to apply early for the upcoming law school cycle and work for a year in-between. I just graduated with my undergrad in engineering at a gpa of 3.6 but I am worried about improving my lsat score, my first lsat was in November and I got a 166. I retook it in April and got a 167. I'm wondering if taking the lsat for a 3rd time is a good decision , my current motivation is a at an all time low after getting such a small increase.
