I have gone through all of the lessons and drills for weakening questions and find myself increasingly humbled every single time. I think "oh man! This will be the one! I feel great!" and get a 0/5. Strengthening questions? Easy peasy. My brain clicks it into place every time. I don't understand how I'm struggling between the two.

What are your tips for weakening questions? What/who did you sacrifice your soul to?

The weakening questions are my weakest section. I am aware of the humor in this situation and I fear, my friends, that I am not laughing.

For this question, I was wondering why E is the wrong answer? Passage A and B endorse the same principles that lying is necessary in writing good narrative, but B says later they see it as unethical while A does not. Is it because the principle they are endorsing isn't exactly the same but applied to diff contexts (lying is necessary in historical vs. lying is necessary in autobiographical) and thus D is the right answer?

I got into Colombia law with an early decision, but when I applied, I sent my application two hours past the deadline, so I didn't think they would admit me through ED, but they did. My dream school is Harvard, and I think I have a decent chance of getting in, but now I don't know what to do. Disclaimer: I was going to email them a week after my application went through to tell them I didn't wanna do ED but didn't bother since I thought I missed the deadline

In person classes - NYC

Good evening 7 sage,

I was curious and wanted to ask if anyone else has signed up for the 7 sage in person winter classes-NYC? I signed up and are using the payment plan option. I also wanted to know if 7 sage will provide us with an address. I haven't received an address yet and was wondering if anyone is in the same boat or knows if they provide it closer to the start date, thank you.

Hello All,

I recently drilled this PT section. While I found the game to be pretty smooth, I was quite confused when I missed nearly all the questions on the first try, and 3 questions on the 2nd. I've located the issue to my interpretation of "3-hour block starting at 1pm." In JY's videos, this leads him up to 3:30 pm. But isn't that only 2 and a half hours? Although my game board is just like JY's in that we both have 5 slots, mine ends at 4pm. Because 1-4 is 3 hours? I'd appreciate further insight/ ways to avoid, or at least, finesse interpretation errors such as this one. I'm failing to see how "3 hour block starting at 1pm"could possibly go up to 3:30 no matter how its read. Thanks!

Frustrated with Plateau

In August, I hit 159 in one of my preptests. I took the LSAT and unfortunately bombed it, scoring a 153 or so. My goal has been a 170+. After a break from studying, I resumed studying around mid to late October to prepare for the January LSAT. Since then, I've been averaging a 157-159. My BR also remains between 163-164. The highest BR I've ever gotten was a 168. I'm starting to feel that day was just luck. I panicked last week and shifted my exam date to February. As you can imagine, this feels pretty heartbreaking. I took a PT today, scored a 158. BR 163. I've been consistent and thorough. I spend 4-6 hours of my day studying. Sometimes more. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm starting to fear that maybe this is my limit. While I don't want to accept that, it may just be a hard pill to swallow. It's pathetic but I can't help but cry right now.

To break down my progress, I average a -5 to -2 in LG, -9 in LR, and a -10 in RC.

My goal this December is to bring LG down to a -0 which I think I am on track doing and LR to a -5. I fluctuate a bit too much with RC to get comfortable but I will try to work on my time when reading passages more as I noticed time is a my limiting factor there.

Most of my frustration lies with LR. I would appreciate any tips. I've read various forums and have incorporated these tips into my regime but after today I don't know anymore.

Drilling Super Laggy ?

For the past few days when I go to create drills, it's been super slow and laggy. It's been taking super long to load, and just being slow in general. Anyone else having this issue?

Audio Learning tools

I was wondering if anyone had any good resources for audio learning. I currently have a job where I'll be a road warrior, and figure I might as well be learning about the LSAT on the road (if any such resource even exists). If anyone has information on podcasts, or other audio learning materials, please let me know!

In the Core curriculum, we are told that for the purposes of formal logic, we are to interpret "or" as inclusive, because that's how the LSAT wants us to think. Is this also the default in law?

I'm not looking for legal advice. I saw this issue come to a head at my job where I currently work as a paralegal, and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or musings on this subject.

Here is the rule in question (in relevant part)

Wyoming Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(B) states:

.... this disclosure must be accompanied by a written report prepared and signed by the witness or a disclosure signed by counsel for the party. The report must contain: ..."

One side argued that it was improper for the other party to submit both a written report prepared and signed by the witness AND a disclosure signed by counsel for the party.

Is there any general rule of logic that would allow a person to interpret the "or" in the statute as inclusive?

After completing PT94 and a couple drills I noticed I'm unable to access the Explanation videos. The explanation button is instead replaced by a discuss button. I switched browsers and cleared the cache as instructed in a similar post experiencing the same issue but nothing has fixed it.

How to unpin questions

Hi, I'm restarting studying for the LSAT again, and I had this list of pinned questions for logical reasoning.

I was wondering how I can unpin all of those questions so I can sort of start fresh? Is there a way to unpin all by deleting history or do I have to go through all of them manually?

Thank you.

Hey guys! So my first test will be in April and I am a little confused. So, there will be a registration that comes out a few weeks before that allows you to select a date and time? Do you also select the location there? I have been approved for accommodations that are best served in person and not online, so is this not guaranteed? Finally, I know this may sound dumb but I am very paranoid about this whole process lol-are there guaranteed to be enough spots for those signed up for the April LSAT or is there a chance I get in the que too late and am SOL. Thanks!

Study Schedule?

Hi!

I am wondering if others are solely using the 7Sage Syllabus and going through all of the lessons as their only studying type? I also have the PowerScore Bibles + LSAT Trainer - but I am unsure the best way to integrate resources to maximize my studying/learning experience.

How do you use the resources to maximize your learning?!

Last LSAT Attempt

Last attempt for this cycle.

150 -> 155 -> 159.

I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.

Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.

Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?
