Hi everyone.

I have been using analytics to try and determine where my weak points are with regards to question types but I have noticed that tricky stimuli seem to trip me up more than the actual question type. Analytics claim that strengthen and weaken questions are ones I need the most improvement on but I have been nailing them in recent PTs and I feel like the questions I do get wrong on both timed and BR differ greatly from one PT to the next. There doesn't seem to be a consistent trend. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Most of the time when I watch JY's explanations, I will have that "ah I get it moment" which usually comes about because I didn't consider something in the argument, but of course there are those very few questions I need to really dive deep to figure out why my AC was incorrect or how a seemingly wrong AC is actually the correct choice.

Hi everyone, apologies if this has been posted before but I would love to hear all of your opinions about taking an LSAT prep test when tired. I have just over a month until I take the real thing and I feel like I haven't taken anywhere enough PTs so would you recommend just powering through or doing everything I can to get enough rest and opt to take the exam in the late afternoon/evening to compensate?

I'm also not scoring anywhere near as high as I'd like (currently around 160) and much of this I feel is due to psychological factors such as timing anxiety, and frustration. My thoughts are that I can work through this in time but again, would love some advice.

Hello folks,

I am looking for a study buddy who could meet in person in Toronto, mainly to take mock exams together. I am taking Sept and Oct 2023 LSATs. DM me if you are interested.

PrepTest A - Section 1 - Question 16

For this one I was able to gather my information to see how I could even weaken this argument. Automatically Bruno was accused of being the spy. In my process of reading this question type, I was automatically thinking of an AC that would no longer make him the spy in question. AC A gave that set up exactly. Although I was able to figure this question type out, I am wondering if there is a quicker approach for weakening/strengthening question types that could help me. I felt like I could've answered this one quicker than I did, so anything helps!

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Is there anyway to view how long an entire drill set took you? I often take practice sections by adding all the questions onto a drill, while I can see each question and its target Im wondering if there's a way to view how long the whole session took me.

From PT B - Section 1 - Question 06.

None except the most virtuous deserve praise

I know it's part of the 4th group, where you negate the necessary. But I've only seen examples like "none of the Americans are political" and there's no video guide for this one.

How does the "except" affect the translation?

I'm unsure if this is supposed to be...

DP -> MV

MV -> DP

I was confused between answer choices A and E for this one.

Is A incorrect because it leaves out the part about researchers being puzzled by how kinglets are able to survive cold winter nights? I was trying to figure out if answer choice A had any descriptive/factual errors, but I couldn't find any, so I'm guessing the problem is that it doesn't address the fact that scientists are trying to figure out the mechanisms behind the birds' survival.

That seems to be the only difference between A and E.

Been over a month on my end and nothing.

My mental health took a hit due to familial circumstances and I haven't studied in over a month. I think the end of August was the last time I even signed on.

I was feeling so motivated and excited about my progress and now I am feeling discouraged and struggling to get back into the swing of things as I work on my mental health. I think part of me is scared I will be back at square one when I try to jump back in. The bigger part of me is overall lost on how to get back into things. Should I be going back and reviewing old lectures, trying some easier, short drills, taking another diagnostic?

If anyone has any advice or words of encouragement, I would sincerely appreciate it.

I hope everyone is doing well with their prep and reaching their goals, if you're reading this, I know you've got this :)

Hi, after creating a few drills using the AutoBuilder, I know longer see the option to create a drill of the incorrect when last taken - drill questions. Is there a way to get that option back? I don't know how else to practice the questions that I got incorrect when completing the 7Sage drills.

While I am getting more satisfied with my accuracy on the drills, I am consistently slower than the target time. I'm wondering if the target time is set at the very most time that should be allotted for the question or if the target time is set to a bit better than it needs to be.

Anyone know?

I am currently studying 20 hours a week, and I take one or two days off. Each study session goes between 3-5 hours, sometimes I go more than that. This is how my study days typically looks like:

M: Drill 2-3 games and review

T: Drill 2-3 games and review

W: R.C and L.R (drill 10-15 questions), review my answers

Th: finish reviewing my answers from the previous day if I didn't finish. Then drill more L.R and R.C

F: Drill one logic game, 10 L.R and R.C

S: Review my answers and drill the three sections again.

S- Rest

I've been studying since May and I don't see that I am improving at Logic Games and I honestly feel so discouraged. From May-July I spent my time reading some books to learn about the different questions types and worked through some problems but I wasn't actively drilling, I was just reading mostly about the LSAT and using the Powerscore Bibles. It wasn't until August that I started drilling and practicing almost every day. I do review the core concepts and question types, things I learned earlier in my study, but it's been two months of drilling and I feel like I am not improving :/

I haven't done any practice tests because I want to get comfortable with my drilling first and getting my answers right before I take any practice tests. I am doing good with R.C, and L.R I am alright but conditional rules is confusing to me still. Some days I get almost all of my L.R answers and others I don't. L.G I absolutely suck doesn't matter how much I study. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to study L.G every day? Or is this just part of the process and maybe I am being too harsh? I feel like I somewhat wasted my time just reading the core concepts first during those three months of my LSAT study maybe I should've drilled more, I don't know.... I am taking my test on January. If anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate.

Hey hey! 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. Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

You must register in advance using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIocOCurT4jHtd7O3BdoLv03bCWpYWw2RKI 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 can be any PT; we recommend one that you haven't seen yet and that is at least as recent as PT 50. 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 Proctor 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 privately message your preference. If only the ProctorU 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!

Okay, I have been working w SA questions since the end of August now, ( I am an undergrad student so doing this on top of classes is ass), and I feel like I am really missing something. I am missing more than half on some of these PS, and even during BR, I don't catch my errors. Does anyone have any advice on how to get the fundamental patterns of SA questions engrained in my head? Or even just how to go about re-visiting the foundations of SA questions (I feel like the video examples aren't too helpful in this section)

If anyone has a logic games beginner study group please message me, I’m interested in all perspectives when trying to tackle this.

I still am waiting on decisions from other schools, but nearly all of my target schools have rejected me with one waitlist. I've also been rejected from two safety schools. While I expected mostly rejections mostly because of how late I applied, I wasn't expecting purely rejections.

I work at a firm now and am content staying here for the short-term, but I would prefer not to be here another year waiting to reapply. I would also rather bolster my GPA and LSAT than my experience, as my experience is good but my GPA and scores are definitely what are severely lacking on my transcript.

So... what now?

According to LSAC a ton of people have signed up for October. I've been checking and refreshing to sign up for a seat in a testing center. I'm required to test at a testing center because I'm taking it pen/paper. I've searched for slots all over my state and even into the next closest state but it's not showing any availability. LSAC gave me Prometric's phone number. I've called and been disconnected every time. I called LSAC and they're like, meh, we can't help you, call them back. It's so frustrating. When I asked them point blank if I'm guaranteed a spot if I've paid and sign up they say no, that it's first come, first serve. And I asked them if, worst case, I don't get a spot, will I get my money back, they said no. How is that possible? Like you can't give a company your money and be denied the product? I will continue to refresh but LSAC sucks.

Hey folks! Looking for study buddies in Vancouver area! Aiming deadline for January 2024.

Hi ,

I am planning on taking the January LSAT and i want a study buddy.

It would really help to have study sessions and go through test prep together.

I can do online, or in person.

I am free anytime after 4pm + weekends.

I'm consistently spending too much time reading the passages. I'm pretty confident when going through the questions and I answer them quickly, but my timing issues while reading/sketching the structural outline of the passage foreclose my opportunity to reach the fourth passage, which forces me to guess on all the questions on the final passage. I only refer back to the passage for questions referencing specific line numbers, and my structural outline is normally around 3-7 words per paragraph (sometimes a few more depending on subparagraph breaks).

What sort of drills can I do to cut down my reading time?

I have only taken a few PTs. I only have two weeks before my LSAT (I know, I am cramming and it is not ideal at all). Should I take the newest PTs then BR them? I would assume that it won't do me much good to take the oldest ones?

Realistically, I will probably only be able to get through 3-5 PTs between now and then.

I wanted some advice on what pts i should be using to study with one month before the exam, and maybe some ways to go about studying
