They did release 'new' PTs that turned out to be reused versions of the old PTs, without the LG sections. I'm planning to take lsat before August so I'm mainly looking for 'actual' new PTs after the 2020s, there must be a pretty sizeable amount they've saved up so far + these old PTs have LG sections in them which probably are going to be abandoned altogether with the new system. Does anyone think they'll be releasing them anytime soon?

I've finished the core curriculum in its entirety, and now I'm wondering how I should be splitting up my time while drilling.

I'm aiming to take the June LSAT (the last current exam format that's offered for International test takers for this year) and so I only have about 2 months left.

I'm wondering how best to split my time amongst the different sections. While of course I want to dedicate the majority of time to my weakest areas, I also don't want to just completely bench the other sections.

Any advice how to best schedule studying, so that I maintain a solid exposure to each section?

Thanks!

Will 7 sage's explanation videos change in accordance with the new prep tests on LSAC? I know that the new prep tests use prior material, but I'd to know how the explanation videos will change once games are gone. Thank you.

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 160-165 (Goal: 170s)

📆 My planned test date: June 2024

📈 To study, I have been: Drilling untimed and timed

🔑 My goals for this group are: Each participant will teach and take away a strategical approach to a question type. Ideally participants in the group have completed the core curriculum and have a good grasp of the different question types in LR and RC.

🔍 We'll focus on: LR and RC

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: Everyone takes the same PT before meeting up. At study group, we will discuss the questions we missed, focusing on optimal strategies for each question type. This can be on a weekly or biweekly basis.

I think the study group will be more effective when everyone gets a chance to discuss, so I'd like to keep this group relatively small. A group of 3-4 is great, max is 6.

As title says, at this point in my studying i am only really getting the 5 star difficulty questions wrong. When i take untimed tests, I'm scoring in the high 170s (ik this doesn't matter lol), but on timed, I'm still scoring in the mid 160s and sometimes high 160s because of these dang 5 star questions!

Btw I am taking August lsat, no LG.

What seems to be the preferred method of studying when you reach this point? I recently also got an lsat lab subscription so I have more explanations available for these 5 star questions (7sage is great, but many explanations are missing or seemed rushed through). But other than drilling 5 stars and the ones I've got wrong, and going over them until i am 100% confident why its right, is there anything else I can be doing? Maybe specific types of drills or like confidence drills? I honestly don't know. I'm getting so tired of months and months of studying. I also have the loophole book so maybe that for LR help? I know I'm capable of 170s but not sure what that final push I need is. I feel like I've hit a plateau.

Hi all,

I haven’t received a response from 7Sage about my switch to the V2 version of the core curriculum, so I’ll share my thoughts here. I am a little over 64% done with the LR section in the V1 version. I wrote down a list of the question types I did on V1 and what I have left. So I clicked the “complete” option on the ones I did for V1 on V2, and that left me with 6 question types compared to 9. Do you think I went about that correctly?

Also, the foundations section for V2 has a lot more lessons than V1, but I was thinking of clicking the “complete” option for the foundations section and just come back to specific lessons for questions I get wrong. Is that a valid approach?

Also, does V2 use more recent questions? What happened to the problem sets and using problems from tests 1-35?

I would appreciate any help!

Hi need some help here. JY mentioned that we should take a break between taking a practice test and doing a blind review but should we still do this for drills? I find that I'm too close to the questions to honestly blind review them after but don't want to stop my momentum (especially since I work full time and am studying whenever I can block time off in my schedule/weekends). Does anyone have tips for being efficient with studying and blind reviewing in a way that makes a true difference?

My app was placed on "reserve" which I don't know if its a fancy or nice way of saying waitlisted. Either way they gave me 2 weeks to upload a LOCI. I applied late in the cycle so not much new achievements to mention, and I already wrote a Why Essay. Should I reiterate or expand on those points again in the LOCI? What additional info should I include, and how long should it be? I read the 7sage articles but wanted some additional info.

I am having trouble understanding what the question means when asking what is "IMPLICIT in the authors argument"

For those who are in the 170+ range on LG, how do you know how many inferences to make up front? As JY says, it helps to have made a decent amount but sometimes I spend too long doing that and it hurts me on time and the questions ending up not needing all those inferences.

Greetings! I could seriously use some outside opinions on this issue as I am beyond torn on what do:

I am currently in the end of my law school process and am in a tight spot. I currently have two acceptance letters (Hofstra and University of San Francisco) both with scholarship offers (although Hofstra’s scholarship offer extends beyond my 1L year, pending I keep a certain GPA). Both of these schools have April 15th First Seat Deposits. I am still waiting to hear back from two schools (Pace Law, which is ranked slightly higher than Hofstra & Syracuse, which is my dream school). If it helps, I want to become a sports and entertainment lawyer (more focused on Employment/Labor Law, Contract, Copyright, and Trademark law) and believe my pursuits would be best suited to take place here in New York (thus why USF has been eliminated).

I applied to Syracuse in late January and my application was marked as complete and in review 2 months ago. I still haven’t heard anything from Syracuse. My first question is if I haven’t heard anything by now, does that mean or hint something in terms of my applicant status ?

My second choice would be Pace, which has a transfer history with schools I am interested in exploring a transfer to such as USC and Fordham (would be for my second year) and . My LSAT falls above their 50th percentile (153) but my undergrad GPA is 2.89 (Grad school GPA of 3.67). Would my academic credentials grant me admission into Pace? I applied last week and the file is currently under review.

These questions lead me to Hofstra which is my third option. The 1st seat deposit of $400 is due next Monday. Should I pay it and hope that Pace and/or Syracuse get back to me before the second seat deposit is due for Hofstra (which is May 1st)? They offered me a waiver for both seat deposits (a total of $1000) which would bind me to matriculate to Hofstra and withdraw all my other applications but again, this is my third choice and if I got into the other two schools, I would go before I went here.

I know a lot of questions (3 in total) but any advice on this current situation will help! I think having some outside eyes on it could help me in my line of thinking. I do not want to pay the seat deposit but also do not want “screw” myself out of admission to a law school.

Does anyone know how likely it is to get a experimental section as your first section of the LSAT? I am worried when I take it that I will be hit with an experimental section at the beginning, and this will knock off the rest of my test.

Hey everyone,

The chaining conditionals portion of the 7sage V2 curriculum (lessons 26 and 27 of Conditional and Set Logic) is quite complicated with little to no explanation on the skill builder. Has anyone used any other resources to help learn this portion of the curriculum? It seems very important, but with no videos or expanded explanations I am having a hard time with it.

I looked into using V1 in order to get more help, but that focuses a lot on LG and I plan to take the LSAT this fall (no LG). I suppose I could come back to this section, but it seems pretty important, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed if 7sage does not have further instruction on chaining conditionals?

Thanks,

I reside in Huntsville, Alabama and I have my test set for June 2024.

Would anyone like to meet and study together?

This is my first attempt at taking the LSAT.

[Admin note: Edited post. Do not post threads or comments in all caps.]

Does anyone have a good estimate on this? I am trying to budget my line.

I am the type of person that really gets into details when doing questions.

Also, can you please tell me when I should do the drills? should I wait until entire LR section is completed or should I start drills when I start that section?

Can someone please explain question 13. It's frustrating there is no explanation available. :(

Hi everyone ! Is there anyone in the Boston area! I would love to create a study buddy group for those taking the June LSAT

So Ive been taking preptests and I seem to be stuck getting -1/-5 on LR. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE. I cant seem to get a perfect score on this section and was wondering how some y'all are studying for LR or how you went about drastically reducing the number of LR questions you get wrong?

I'm from Mongolia and I currently live in Texas.

I tried my best to find and connect with a Mongolian lawyer practicing in Texas to get some advice. But I couldn't find any. Only found two lawyers but they both live in different states.

In my diversity statement, should I emphasize where I'm from and how not a lot of us go to law school in the US (how I may be the first one in TX)?

Or would that make me a weaker candidate? (for example, the admission officer thinking I won't make it through to the finishing)

All my recent practice tests have been scores in the low 60s. On average I get -1/0 LG, -8/-5 LR, and -11/-8 RC. I have a learning disability related to reading which is why my RC are so low, and I get accommodations of extra time on the exam to compensate for that. My RC used to be a lot worse but with lots of practice I've really improved. On blind review I usually go up around 3 points total (with the majority of correction on my LR).

I'm trying to get at least a 165 on the exam but preferably higher, so I figured the best way to improve was working on my LR section more. And I'm really trying to improve before the June LSAT since it will be the last time to take it with LG which is my best section. But the problem is even though I get more questions right on blind review the next day, every time I take a practice test I'm still getting the same results. My last 3 PTs have been 161. Maybe it has something to do with time pressure or overload of questions one after another I'm not really sure. I also tried taking more time to really make sure I'm getting questions right before moving on but that strategy completely fails cause I just end up not finishing all the questions before time runs out.

I'm going to keep doing timed drills and practicing but does anyone have any other tips?

I choose A, I thought it was a Sufficente/ Necessity error confusion, but I can understand that the suttle part is when the argument give us an example of a recent research where flexibility works better than tighten groups if a common purpose is shared, but what if not? That means the sufficient condition is not meat and we lose the necessary condition, so we don't have an argument.

The passage starts with a conditional claim, then there is a shift, claiming that in order for the A ---> B B has a condition, so in order for the claim to be true we need to assume that the condition is true for all cases. That's why AC E is correct.

We need to connect the assumption that the appreciation of the play and the attention, and thats AC B

AC A is correct because even though No creative employes are at the company we can not conclude for that that there is not one creative person in that company that it's what AC A is giving us

How are you guys approaching RC when doing low res? Since LSAT is digital, you can't write in the margins of the passage. Should we just commit to memory the low res of each paragraph? Or are we supposed to write them down on scratch paper?
