Hi there,

I know it is important to simulate real test day conditions, which means making sure I have the stamina to do 4 sections to simulate the experimental section. However, 7sage's August 2024 version only has the 3 actual sections. Is there a way 7sage recommends practicing the August format but including 4 sections? Should I just immediately take an extra RC or LR section from another pretest right after I finish the 3 section PT?

Also, is it recommended to do this for EVERY PT, or should I just throw in a 4 section every once in awhile?

I need advice. I have only been studying for 2 months now but I am already starting to get worried. I have taken 2 PT's & have not finished LR either time, scoring with -15 on both. While I am not too far into CCV2 (still in foundations), I have not been challenged by something this much before, which I guess is threatening to me. I am unsure if it is the wordiness & my want to just have my eyes glaze over while reading the stimuli or if I truly am just not getting it.

I am currently a high school science teacher & my study schedule isn't what I would want it to be due to everything I have going on. My mental stamina is also low. HELP )':

Hey Everyone! I've only been studying for a few weeks and decided to apply what I learned from 7Sage about quantifiers to all/most/some practice problems in the LSAT Trainer. I'm stumped on one question and would very much appreciate it if someone would be able to map it out for me logically.

The passage is: "Most of the dishes at Oldie’s Diner are unhealthy, and most are offered on special during lunchtime. The dishes on special come with the customer’s choice of free fries or a free soda. All of the dishes offered on special are written up on the restaurant’s chalkboard."

The question is whether "Most of the dishes on the chalkboard are on special" can be true.

No matter how I go about the question using formal logic, I only ever arrive at some dishes written on the chalkboard are on special (Written-Chalkboard (--- s ---) On Special). Thanks in advance studious future attorneys!

Hey everyone, I have recently made the decision to retake the LSAT in the summer of 2025 (goal of 170+) because my current score (166 from Jan 21’) will be expiring by the time I plan to finally matriculate to law school in the fall of 2026.

Last go around, I began studying in October of 2020 with a diagnostic of 156, and reached a score of 166 by focusing HEAVILY on logic games. I did fine on LR and RC, but had a limited window to study (January was the cutoff for a program I was applying for at work). As a result, I really just skimmed the LR curriculum.

With Logic Games leaving the LSAT this year, I’m losing my greatest strength, but I’m also gaining the opportunity to improve a lot by taking the LR curriculum seriously.

How early is too early to begin 7sage again? I won’t make the mistake of limiting my study to 3 months again, but is 18 months too much?

I posted a q on the thread for PT32 S3 G2 here https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-32-section-3-game-2/

It asks

"Any one of the following could be true about the organizer's selection of works EXCEPT"

It's an in and out game. The answer choices give a partial list of what's in and are asking if the combination could be true. I'm confused because [I thought] when they ask what could be in, we're looking at a comprehensive list, rather than partial list--so it really threw me. I scavenged the comment section and no one else seemed to get tripped up so clearly this is me 😅

-Can someone explain how you knew the AC's were partial?

-Would you say this is a unique q or naw common get a grip

Reply here or directly on the question thread! tysm!

So I just bought the subscription to use the logic games drilling but im not sure how it works. I am using preptest 1-50 for drilling and preptests 51- for actual practice tests. I just want to know how to select only 1-50 for my drilling and have it pick random ones with no specific game type.

Hey all, could somebody please explain this: once you see what you got right and wrong, there's also an indicator for what others chose and the percent who chose the correct answer. On every question I've done, even the hardest ranked ones, it's always 50-60%+ that are getting stuff right, often higher. Does this mean the majority is answering everything correctly? Kind of demotivating to see a '70% chose the correct answer' on every 5* question I struggled with...

Hello All,

I have taken the LSAT a number of times, and most of the time my score is unsatisfactory in comparison to what I had been PTing. Most recently, I scored a low 160 when I had been averaging 170+ the last 7 or so PTs previously. Any advice on what I could be doing wrong?

LG I have down to -0 and RC I know I can improve. I think most of the issue is LR, where I feel like the questions I PT are so much different (and easier) than the ones that show up on the real exam. I don't strictly recreate exam day conditions during PT, but maybe even less than ideal conditions (people walking around, visual/audio distractions, etc.) and yet I still do well on PTs and not on the official exam.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks y'all

Hey Everyone , Im currently working through the CC (I have done another program before so a lot of this is well needed review/reinforcements). I know that I won't be able to 100% complete the CC questions listed but I can do a good portion. I want to get a general idea of how I should be studying until April. I still feel like I’m lacking structure. To be fair, I work full time so timing has been a big issue of mine. Anybody want to share their weekly study schedule or bounce some ideas on what I can do to maximize my time. How often I should be doing PT's reviewing them? What should I target? I often find that I’m doing endless drills I’m not sure if that’s even the best way to go. Thanks in advance!

I've been studying now for 10months and do not see much of the improvement.

Comparing to what it felt like 10 months ago when I first started to study, it was very difficult to understand the passages as well as the answer choices, and comprehending took so much time. I was always short in time by 5~10 minutes when I do the time section on LR(getting -7 ~ -14wrong).

Now, I feel more familiar with the LR passages, sometimes see the pattern and most of the time able to solve 1~2 star questions quickly and some of 4~5 star questions easy, and I am now able to finish timed section roughly in time.

But I don't see much of the apparent improvement and keep getting -8 and sometimes -12 if I was unable to focus and distracted. I will be very happy if I could get less than 3wrong consistently.

I am so devastated. Is this normal? Any advice will be very appreciated.

For context, I am still in the application process. I have not yet received the desired LSAT score to apply to my first choice. However, I am confident that I would be accepted to a lower ranked school. I don't want to let another cycle pass without being enrolled so I have considered attending a different school and then transferring when possible. I'm just not sure it will work. Is there anyone who is considering the same or has some advice about the idea? Please let me know your thoughts.

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday February 17 at 1:00 PM.

Thanks to all who could come last week to the PT and BR sessions. On Monday, we reviewed PT75's deceptively fascinating LR stimuli: among them the Duke of Acredia, outfitting cattle with expensive GPS, and debating claims about a comet reservoir. On Tuesday's RC BR session, we dove deep into the comparative passage, two sides on whether liars and thieves deserve a taste of their own medicine. Fun! Hope to see you at the next ones.

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

  • Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.

    • Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

    Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 76; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday and Tuesday! (BR Series). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

    Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

    Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

    If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

    I am submitting a lot later than I wanted to. I got my LSAT score in September and my recommendations were in by November. I worked on my essays throughout the fall and was planning to submit mid-Jan at the end of winter break. But in December, an extremely close family member suddenly pass away and had to travel for 2 weeks for the funeral. I wasn't in a state to work on my apps for a few weeks after, and have just recently finished them. I have been planning for years to go to law school now and it is clear through my essays/resume that this has been my goal for a while (I'm KJD). I don't want admissions officers questioning my genuine interest in law school if they see that I'm applying so close to the Feb 15 deadline. Should I write an addendum about the extenuating circumstances that delayed my submission? #help

    I have been studying since January and I have completed 20% of the syllabus, my lsat is in April and I do not plan on doing another LSAT as I have to apply for Law school and I plan on going this year. I want to get around a 160. I did my first PT at the start and I got a 143. I'm confused on what is the most effective way I should be studying with the time I have right now.

    From the past week I have decided that everyday I will be doing drills and practicing one specific type of question whether that is LR or LG. I am not doing the syllabus in order anymore and I will skip to the parts where the types of questions are explained so I have a brief idea on how to approach them. Please give me suggestions and the plan I should be incorporating to reach my goal. Thank you

    LG used to be my worst section and now I'm ALMOST consistently hitting -2 to 0. But it still fluctuates widly lol. I would say I'm a natural at RC and diagnostic test with -3 and I haven't prepped for it yet. Currently focusing on LR section (Timed -6 to -3; untimed -3 to 0).

    Trying to hit 170 above and looking for a study buddy who can drive each other to committ to the test.

    Hi all,

    I have started studying for the LSAT in June (on and off during the summer) with a diagnostic in the low 150s. As I have had a busy schedule, I am still doing to core curriculum (LG at the moment) and doing every single drill. I will have more time to dedicate to LSAT from now on. I am aiming at 175+ ideally but haven't been doing that many PTs, just serious drills. I wonder if I should grind and take the April LSAT (and do it again in June if needed) or only the June LSAT (I am abroad so no other options).

    Any advice?

    I feel like I complain all the time over this test. It's honestly exhausting. I have been studying officially since August. I used a different program, had live classes every Sunday and watched live lectures all the time. Did the modules and home work (although I admit I fell behind especially when work and family things came around) took several PT's and I haven't seemed to break into the 150 timed test. I moved over to 7Sage when my other program finished and I couldn't afford it. This program definitely emphasized practice and re-doing things especially with LG. When doing PT's here Im still in the 140s but in Blind Review Im at least reaching the mid 150's which is honestly where my goal was in the first place. I feel very lost on what to do. Im still working through the CC but my test is in April and after pushing it back several times before I just dont know how realistic it is to get my score to the 150's. I work full time and I devote my early mornings 7-9, late evenings 5- whenever Im tired , and all of my weekends either doing problems, watching videos and now taking PT's. Sometimes I get the material especially when I have time to break things down and really digest what I have read. But when Im in the time conditions I feel like I forget all the steps and skills I learned, I panic and my mind wanders during the test. I basically give up mid test when I feel like Im not doing well. Im not sure if I need testing accommodations or if Im really just not getting the material and Im just going to have to deal with the score I have. I have put in so much work , made (and still am) sacrifices and it's frustrating to see that it's not really showing the way I want it to. I feel like Im failing. This is only a snippet of my journey but I just need some practical advice at this point on what I could do.

    I am looking to take the LSAT sometime in the future. I know how to do the LG. I just need more practice with it to do it more efficiently. My understanding is that LSAT will no longer require LG to be a part of it starting from August 2024. I am wondering how my score will play a part in admission cycle if it does not reflect the LG because I plan on taking the LSAT after August, 2024. If you could input your thought, that would be great! (:
