is there a nov 2023 lsat study group I could be added too?

I have been trying to improve logic games but I end up getting confused sometimes and I just do not know how to improve

I truly believe I can score a 180 (-0) on this test and want to find a study partner with similar delusions.

Necessary Conditions:

currently in the 160s

taking the November/ January LSAT

Hi!!

Whenever I do Modern test with 1LR, 1LG, and 1RC I get about -5 ~ -6 on LR. However, when I do two LR it is -5/-6 on one LR but about -10/11 in the second one. I see the pattern but I am not sure what the issue could be?

Hi everyone! I just started 7sage as I tried other resources for studying and it was not enough nor useful to be honest.

I am taking the November 2023 LSAT and was wondering if there was anyone who would be interested in doing a virtual study group. Others are definitely welcome!

I just thought it would be nice to be with others in similar boats!

I am scared drills ate giving me false hope. I am able to attempt an answer quicker and eliminate with accuracy. I can get down between answer choices, with one being the right answer ( because before I was eliminating right answers) but on PT's I feel I am not as accurate as when I am drilling. any advice? I have studied the q stems and can easily point out what q type it is. Maybe test anxiety? can anyone offer any help

I've been studying for several months now, and I do pretty damn good on the drills and adhering to time constraints, but when I do the actual preptests i'm missing so much! I don't know if its anxiety or the fact that everything that comes up is hard.. but it's upsetting because I have such great hope for the October LSAT. I don't know what to do.

👥 Study Group Location: Virtual (preferably EST to make things easier!)

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 150 - 160

📆 My planned test date: Jan 2024

🔍 We'll focus on: timing, confidence, PT's, and reading comprehension

I also want to look at the group as an accountability group so we all know we have each other to lean on when things get hard and the journey gets lonely! We understand each other's circumstances and the road we are on, so we should stick together :)

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: zoom

✅ How to join: Message me on 7sage :)

Happy Studying!

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

Anyone know how I can unsubscribe from a discussion thread without having to unsubscribe from 7sage emails all together?

I heard a suggestion to read the questions first for reading comprehension, and then read the essay. I was wondering if anybody has tried this and found it effective to help improve?

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.

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 :)

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?

Does anyone have advice on how to narrow the range between the score of a timed PrepTest vs the score after blind review? I'm consistently getting a range of about 10 points between both and it is discouraging.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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 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.

Greetings Friends,

I am really stuck on comparative passages. Every other passage I am solid on and rarely get any wrong, once the comparative show up I will get -3,-4 on that passage alone and completely screw up my RC section. Any tips to get better at them? Going through and answering questions based on passage A does not work for me.

Thanks,

Is there a way to take a single section of a PT and BR? #help

Hey all,

The weakening section is making me really frustrated and I'm starting to panic because I'm just not consistent. I'm even missing some of the "easy" 1/5 difficulty questions. On the most recent example I still cannot understand why the answer I selected is wrong and the correct answer is right.

The problem in question is LR Weakening lesson 13/21, PT32 S1 Q12 "Polar Bear Navigation"(https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/animal-navigation-weaken-question/?ss_completed_lesson=994). I selected E because the argument's context defines navigation as returning to familiar territory without using the five senses._ This shows that the animal wasn't "navigating" as defined in the arg, but doesn't contradict the premise that the polar bear did return home-- it just contradicts that this shows it was navigating. How is this possibly an incorrect weakener?

Answer B was correct, which states that the location 300 miles away was actually along the polar bear's normal migration route. This makes sense as a weakener, because it shows that the return route wasn't actually unfamiliar. However, in my mind this required an assumption on directionality. Why would this mean the polar bear would return home, and not to the other endpoint of the migration route? To me this was too big of an assumption to make and so I eliminated this answer choice. Why is this not too big of an assumption to make?

Thanks so much for your time! Really struggling with weakening even though my scores are fairly good, almost always -5 on LR.
