Has anyone else gotten an email about signing up for a testing time for the April test yet? I saw sign ups are suppose to start today, but I haven't gotten any emails yet, and last time I'm pretty sure I got an email about it in advance

In the drilling mode section it says there are a certain amount of 'clean questions' remaining for each category. Does this refer to questions that only exist in PTs 1-35? I would like to do more drills but also don't want to spoil future practice tests.

Hi everyone, I've been faced with a dilemma and I wanted to hear everyones opinions on my situation. I started my LSAT journey on 7Sage back in December while studying as a full-time student and working. I worked through the Logical Reasoning curriculum up to this point and just started working on the Logic Games curriculum. It's now March 18th and I'm wondering if there are enough weeks for me to master the games section in order to take the June LSAT. Also, I realize I'd have to learn the Reading Comprehension curriculum and start drilling and taking prep tests.

Some of my friends took the LSAT this spring (with the logic games) and told me that I should shoot for the June LSAT. Reason being they thought the games were easy to master and got most of them right to improve their scores. I understand my studies will be different from them, but I want to make sure I'm not missing out on a golden opportunity when the games are still available. A better question to ask you all is, how long did it take for you to understand the games?

Furthermore, I plan on applying in the fall by the end of October. If I were to decide to take the August LSAT would I be pushing back my application timeline for most schools? What if I needed to take a couple more LSAT's for the score I want?

Any advice or personal thoughts on this would be really appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I'm interested in establishing an in-person study group in NYC. I live in Queens, but I'm open to meeting anywhere within the city. I'm studying for the August LSAT. Let's get this W.

Hey 7Sagers,

Just FYI, if you're having a tough time pulling up your RC score and are wondering if you could be doing anything differently, I recently posted some RC tips over on the blog:

LSAT Reading Comprehension Tips

If you've had success with other approaches, please share! Post any tips of your own here or over in the blog's comments.

Happy reading and comprehending!

As soon as I start to read questions my brain starts to melt and mush. I have to reread the first sentence so many times to actually dial in, and beyond that point I usually have to read the who stimulus/passage 3-5 times to actually have a grasp of it. I feel like I cannot process the information fast enough and that has been the issue for me for some time.

I'm embarrassed to say it but with the time allotted (35min) I usually can only finished about 10-12 questions per section. The only way I can actually finish a section is by skimming and guessing. I actually got some time accommodations (thankfully), but I am only able to finish a few more questions with the extra time. I leave about 9 questions blank.

I feel very insecure about how my brain works and how my processing speed is regarding this stuff. Does anyone have experience with this? I have the KNOWLEDGE, and I have the SKILLS & TOOLS (I could use of course more practice), however I'm worried about my inability to apply what I know, because in order for me to apply my skills I have to be able to READ and FOCUS and PROCESS quickly!! Help? Tell me I'm not alone...

I am sitting for my first LSAT in April and with less than a month to go it is starting to feel real. I am hoping to boost my score by another 5-7 points which feels like a lot but I have a good plan in place for the final countdown...

How is everybody feeling? Prepared? Nervous? If it goes poorly the plan is to take again in August, but I would love to just get my goal score first try and be done with it.

Good luck to everybody!

I've been studying and I noticed a very peculiar trend in my wrong answer choices as well as the reason I get these answers wrong. And the issue is I always wind up missing some important detail in the stimulus that will lead me to the correct answer choice. And it's always something small like a key word whether it's something that indicates strength (always, some of the time, never) or something like "adequately, imprecise, etc". It's always something small but this small thing usually changes the answer choice up a lot. And my wrong answer choice is almost always the second most selected answer meaning that I'm falling into the trap the LSAT writers have set out in some way.

Any advice/ practice strategies for resolving this issue? Or any more concise explanation? I see the pattern but I'm still having a bit of a hard time completely understanding and pinpointing the issue.

This one really confused me because I thought we were always supposed to assume that the premises are automatically true. So the author saying "original" would be a statement of fact rather than circular reasoning. Could someone #help

Hi everyone, I am an international applicant currently doing my bachelors at the university of Edinburgh (studying German&Philosophy). I am planning on taking the August 2024 LSAT. So far I’ve only done the old PT, scoring around 170. Would like to find someone to go through the new format PT together :) Feel free to drop me a message.

Also I have a small question. I am finishing my bachelors degree in June/July 2025 and hoping to attend the 2025 fall JD class. Is it too late/too early to take the August 2024 LSAT? Thanks for any information.

I am planning on taking the August LSAT; I am currently scoring in the low 170s and am generally free on the weekends and most weekday evenings. I would be happy to go over anything, I just need someone else to work through questions and develop a stronger understanding of the test with.

Great news: we’ve updated the 7Sage digital tester to include the set of remixed PrepTests LSAC recently released (PTs 101–158). To access them, simply head to the digital tester as usual and click the “August 2024 or later” button at the top.

Wait, what?

Here’s the backstory if you missed it: On February 22, LSAC released 58 “new” (well, technically not new) PrepTests on LawHub, a set they’re calling the “August 2024 Admin Test Format.” They start at PT 101 and go to PT 158.

The change is in preparation for the post-August 2024 LSAT which will be offered without Logic Games. The newly released PrepTests consist of two Logical Reasoning sections, one Reading Comprehension section, and one experimental section. Technically, the material on the tests is not actually new; these are composed of shuffled and repackaged sections from previous tests (PT19-PT94), excluding Logic Games.

I’m so confused!

That’s fair! This is a lot to keep track of, even for those of us who only ever think about the LSAT. Here’s a post with a lot more details about the new/not new PTs.

Hi guys! I just started with the v2 core curriculum and I think it'll be a great idea to get a study buddy(ies) to help each other through this insane process. Lmk if you're interested! I'd love to connect over discord since it is so easy to use. Thanks!! Also, if you can add me as a friend on discord (swaggerjagger02) so we can get to know each other and plan some sessions!

I plan on taking the lsat in June 2024 and was aiming to get high 150s/low 160s. I took my first PT in february before I started studying and got a 143. I took it again this month (march) after 45 hours of studying and got a 148. I am discouraged by my recent score. Can I realistically increase my score to a 160 in 2.5 months? I know that hours don't necessarily convert to points but how many hours would you estimate it would take? Any tips would be appreciated!

I've been studying for the LSAT for a while now but I haven't done a full practice test yet. I've completed LR and am about halfway through LGs... my thinking is that I want to complete all three sections so I know how to tackle all the questions. Do you think that is productive or do you think it'd be beneficial to do a practice test before completing the core curriculum?

In the new version of the core curriculum, the way JY teaches Argument Part questions, he tells us to beware of answer choices that use language like "assumption" or "implies" etc. because if the question states an idea explicitly mentioned in the stimulus, it by definition cannot be an assumption or implicit. This made a lot of sense to me and still does! However, PT39, S2, Q16 makes me struggle a bit. As the right answer calls the explicitly referenced idea "an assumption."

Attractive Wrong Answer: C - "It is offered as evidence for the contention that human beings must be descended from either lungfish or coelacanths."

Correct Answer: D - "It is an assumption that both parties to the dispute use as a starting point for their arguments about human evolution."

The question says "which one of the following most accurately describes the role played in the dispute above by the proposition that frogs are definitely related to the species of fish from which human beings evolved"

The stimulus says "Since biologists agree that frogs are definitely related to the species of fish from which human beings evolved..."

How could that idea possibly play an "assumption" role in the argument if it is explicitly stated?

I know the LSAT makes it pretty hard to hold any absolute truths about the test, but I really thought it would be hard to ever have a correct Argument Part answer choice reference an assumption. Am I totally off-base here? Thanks!

Hi, I just renewed my lawhub subscription from the same account and still unable to link to 7 sage. The link button is not even show up on my 7 sage account. I have the same LSAC account. Please help

I'm having trouble loading the recording of live classes and explanation videos. I've tried two different browsers. Is this a known issue? Thanks!

Which prep tests are left clean for practice tests when you use drilling? What practice tests should I be using for drills vs for full length practice tests?

My study journey began in January and I plan on taking the August LSAT. I spent the first two months going through the LR Bible and was doing well in the practice sections at the end of each chapter. Just recently, I finished the 7Sage CC and felt confident whenever I drilled at the end of each section. Due to my anxiety surrounding this exam, I've been procrastinating when it comes to taking an actual PT and decided to take a small step toward my goal by taking an untimed LR section using the 7sage drilling feature. To my dismay, I was unable to focus on any of the questions and had to re-read over and over again. To compound the issue, nothing was clicking or making sense and it felt like I was reading gibberish. I got 15 out of the 26 questions incorrect and I feel inherently stupid. I didn't even have the mental energy to blind review and at this point I'm questioning if I'm truly cut out for this. Am I just brain fatigued? Any encouragement is welcome.

When I make a mistake on logical reasoning, it seems to have to do with having misread something in the stimulus or answer choice. For example, reading "apples" instead of "some apples". There's a warning this has happened because none of the answer choices seem to make sense. The problem is when I go back to reread the passage and answers, I tend to make the same reading mistake again. However, when I reread the question the next day the mistake tends to be gone. Its almost like I'm temporarily stuck and I need to reboot somehow.

Has anyone experienced this and do you have any advice?

For those of you just starting out on your LSAT journey and looking for some direction on how to study (as well as those who've been studying for a bit already but want a quick "sanity check" on how you're going about it), I recently posted an article over on the blog that might be of interest:

How to Study for the LSAT: Advice from a 180-Scorer

If you're feeling like you've just been dropped into the middle of the deep, dark LSAT woods without a compass (and we've all been there at some point), consider this your orienteering field guide. In it, I share advice on how long to study for, what a good study plan looks like, how to build your weekly study schedule, and lots more.

If you have any questions or if there's something I didn't cover that you think I should have, drop a note here or below the article and let me know!

Do you guys take old practice tests timed? Like 1-50? How accurate are those? I'm doing 2 times practice tests per week and then reviewing. Is that a good idea?

I subscribed to LawHub Advantage yesterday and it is linked to my 7sage. However I still do not have access to the LawHub Advantage material, and I get a pop-up saying that I need to purchase it even though I already did. Do I need to link, and unlink the account? Please help!!
