I have been studying for the past ~year and a half and I'm taking it for the third and final (I already sent out apps end of nov/beginning of dec) time on Saturday. My prep lately has been going pretty good - I just got my highest score two weeks ago and that will readily get me where I need to be BUT this week my drills, RC in particular, have taken a hard left turn. I'm trying to be relaxed about studying this week, I'm going to take a pt tonight, but now I am not sure if I should hold off until Friday night or not take it at all and focus just on RC but I also have some LR I really would like to solidify too.

PrepTest 94 - Section 1 - Game 4
I can't seem to figure out a faster way of answering this QS without brute force, any ideas?
I want to see the ideal way to split up the groups
hi everyone, I explained in my last question about how i worked with a private tutor at another company and i regrettably got a 140. I cancelled my score and changed to a 7sage tutor. I plan to take my next test in april, but now this sets me back in the admissions process (submitting my applications to a school for a possible scholarship). I'll probably talk to a law advisor anyway, but I want a collection of opinions/possible options.
hi all! I am averaging about -12 on LR prep test and each time it seems to be the 2nd half of the section that I get answers wrong. They tend to be a mixture of tags. Anyone have any advice on fixing this issue?
I've done the diagnostic and before using 7sage (and now realizing I shouldn't have) I did a few practice tests. I consistently did very well on the LR (-4 to -0) but need some work on the LG and RC. Part of that is because I took formal logic in college which helps a lot with LR. I also saw that the LR section was 120 hours of time where the other two are each 40. Because of this, I thought it was better to try to go through the other two sections of the course, and see how I'm doing on practice tests after that before seeing if I needed to do the LR section.
But as I'm starting to go through the RC section of the course I'm seeing that there are a couple small references to the LR section. I wanted to see if it's worth going the entirety of the LR course section now or if there are a few specific parts of it that are relevant but not necessarily the entirety. Has anyone else been in a similar situation where they're good at LR but need to work on the other two? Would love any advice people have!
I applied for a fee waiver through the LSAC for my applications but was instantly denied since I disclosed my parents' income information on the form. I have to pay for my applications myself and plan to send them out by the end of the month (I am taking the Jan LSAT) but don't know how I will be able to pay for them myself since I won't have help from my parents. Has anyone had any experience with emailing admissions offices asking them directly for fee waivers? Does it look bad to ask? Is it too late to ask? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
-5 to -7 on LR and RC, -11, -14 on LG. I've been doing games for over a month and my test is in 2 days pretty much. Really thought I was gonna be able to have these click but it just didn't. I thought this was supposed to be the most "learnable" part of this test? What is wrong with me
hi everyone, the question is pretty much self explanatory. I worked with a private tutor at another company since july 2023, thinking i would be ready for the november 2023 test. he made me think that the studying i was doing with him would get me a 160, and i regrettably got a 140. I immediately cancelled my score and changed to a 7sage tutor. I plan to take my next test in april.
How long after I take the Jan LSAT can I wait to take my writing section? Thanks!
If I am getting -10 consistently on reading comp and i am taking jan lsat, should I just cut out an entire passage, and try to do my best on 3 passages?
Hi all! I am registered to take the January 2024 (+ potentially February) test and was wondering if anyone would like to form an in-person study group. I have been studying for ~6 months and am looking to fine-tune my skills and stay motivated.
Zoom works as well!
hey y'all! I hope everyone had a merry christmas! I really need advice!!!!!!!!!! So, as I am working through my law school applications for the fall 2024 cycle, I am now thinking of possibly writing an addendum for my low lsat scores. I took the lsat in June scored a 147, and then in October a 148. I registered for this upcoming January as well. I have an amazing resume full of extracurriculars as well as a 4.0 GPA. During the time between June and October, my grandmother fought the end of her battle with cancer and passed away right before I took the LSAT in October. I truly do believe this is the sole reason for me not drastically improving, seeing that I was scoring 158's on my practice tests consistently. However, I am wondering if I should write an addendum for this and apply now and explain this and not take the January LSAT. Or should I take the January LSAT and not write this? What do y'all think? A lot of my applications are due at the beginning of February.
Hey hey, 7Sagers!
We've got another Proctored PT coming up for the month of January, which will be held this Saturday, January 6th from 1-5 pm ET. 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:
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 comment below or email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!
7Sage's drill-builder only lets you see the answers to questions after you finish the drill. We're thinking of letting you choose whether to see the answers at the end (as in the current setup) or to see the answers—and possibly an explanation—after each question of the drill.
I'd love to hear from you in the comments about whether, when, and how often you might choose to see answers after each question.
I got this wrong initially by marking down A but the correct answer is E. This stimulus tells us a few things
It can be hard to tell whether adults can be held morally responsible for the treatment they receive because its hard to know if that is on their control or not.
Sometimes people's actions are the inevitable consequences of the treatment they received when they were an infant (and since infants can't control anything they can't be morally responsible for receiving that treatment).
What absolutely MUST be true here?
A. an infant's actions are not on the chopping block here + never is really strong language
B. maybe this is true but it feels really tangential
C. this concept of partial responsibility does not exist anywhere in the stimulus we are operating in a binary universe
D. we know that the statement (people cannot be morally responsible for things they can't control and the inevitable consequences of things they can't control) is true but this offers a false contraposition of that statement (suff - neck confusion)
E. If everyone sometimes performs acts for which they are not morally responsible, that means that no-one should be held morally responsible for every act one performs.

help can someone please explain why H isn't in 2 for this question?

Is the LR section harder to improve on or RC? I do great on the games, not so much on either of those. I have 5 weeks before I take my 2nd LSAT test and need to bring my score up by at least 7 points....please any tried and true methods that would really help someone in a pinch or is it still just practice practice practice?
Reading the stimulus, I thought there was the following logical gap in Anita's claim:
having a quandary about newsworthiness(the premise) and the guidance being inadequate(the conclusion).
So I picked (D) since I thought it meant the contrapositive of my pre-phrase. However, is (D) wrong because of "ethical dilemmas" since the stimulus refers to quandary specifically related to newsworthiness?
Also, is (E) wrong because of making a "professional decision"?
Then, why is (A) the correct answer?
I am post-CC right now and so far I've only done Pt 36 along with some timed sections. Regarding timed sections, would it make sense to superscore each section as a practice test and input the data into analytics? I'm quite confused on this front because I would like to boost the analytics data to see my weak areas. Additionally, how often would most recommend completing these sections throughout, the week, as I don't want to burn through too many pts too soon?
Is the main conclusion for main conclusion questions always explicitly stated in the stimulus? I was wondering if there was ever a case where the main conclusion turned out not to be in the stimulus but an answer choice that happened to be supported by all the premises in the stimulus. Or would this be a MSS thing instead?
Thanks.
Any tips to increase speed on LR. I get up to question 19-20 with around 2-4 wrong but the last 5 I tend to have an average of 5 minutes to complete. Should I attack it in a different way maybe going with the lsat 5 Questions first then solving the rest any tips would be great!
I just want to make sure I’m thinking about this right. I did a game where one rule said if H is in, G is not. And another rule said if J is not in, S is in. So when diagramming, if the slash is through the right variable (necessary condition) it’s always true that both can be out but both can’t be in. If the slash is through the left (sufficient condition) it’s always true that both can be in but both can’t be out (at least one must be in). Right? I tend to make reversal mistakes so I’m trying to make sure I fully understand.
I'm planning to take the August 2024 test and using the new testing feature on 7Sage. I am trying to make sure the tests I take in the future are untouched by drilling. But I'm confused whether material from beyond 36 is being used. I did some drilling earlier and it looks like there are some tests after 36 that have been used. Thanks for your help in advance.
I thought that drills only pull from PT1-35 but I see them pulling from the PT70s and PT80s for the LR drills. How do I avoid this as to not compromise all of the prep tests? I want to save some where I haven't seen any of the questions to use for prep as well.
