LSAT Writing

If I canceled a previous LSAT score, does the writing still apply? I know it says you only have to do the writing once regardless of how many LSATs you take- just making sure it still applies if I canceled my previous score.

Can we drill with PTs on the 7Sage website? I tried to take one section and BR, but I wasn't able to go back and review my answers since I had not completed the rest of the test.

Not sure if I have to get on the LSAC website to do that but my account expired for that site and I'm unsure how to access the PTs on LSAC through my 7Sage account.

Thank you!!

Jewellery LSAT?

Hi everyone,

This may seem kind of dumb so bare with me. I just got an email confirming my LSAT tomorrow and it says I am not allowed to wear any jewellery. This is fine besides the fact that I just got my nose pierced and can not take it out. Does anyone think this will be a problem/has anyone expereinced this rule for in person?

I fool proof my games before I move on. I'm just worried that as time goes on I'll forget part of them and they will no longer be fool-proofed.

I fool-proofed some of the games, and I know I can go 24 hours and still keep them fool-proofed. But how long should I wait before I practice them again to ensure they stay fool-proofed?

I know some of you are probably like, "are you serious..." (lol).

I like spaced repetition though I have no idea how long I should space them out for... kinda freaking me out atm hahah.

Any advice? :D

Need Advice

Hello,

I am aiming to take the November LSAT. My highest PT was a 145 untimed. After trying different study courses, I feel lost on where to pick back up. My worst section is logic games, mainly scoring (-12+). I am constantly hovering around (-12) on each of the other sections. Every time I hunker down on a specific things, I think about how behind I am on other topics. It really interferes with getting work done. I have underestimated this test up to this point. I am ready to commit to a serious study schedule.

Logical Reasoning Help

If anyone has any tips on LR, I would appreciate it. I have been studying for about 3 months and have gone through Core Curriculum and several practice tests, I have also went through Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book.

I have consistently drilled around -6 to -10 and would like to get down to -3 to -5 for LR sections. Looking at patterns I do well in Q's 1-10 yet I usually miss 5 or 6 in a row in the back half of the section 17-25.

Any tips would be appreciated!!

I came across this issue when I was doing June 2020 Section 2 Question 25. I thought unrepresentative sample applied because the sample was on [test subjects before experiments] and the conclusion was on [test subjects after experiments]. But a few people have told me that the "unrepresentative sample" answer choice is only for statistically unrepresentative things, like only interviewing 10 people when the population is 100,000.

Hi all - Maybe a stupid question here, but for those of us taking the LSAT this weekend at an in-person testing center, we are not required to bring anything beyond our govt ID, login/testing credentials, correct? I assume computers will be provided, along with scratch paper for the applicable sections. Are these correct assumptions? Apologies if these answers are elsewhere, but with this being the first test date under the ProMetric "regime", I figured it would be best to seek clarfication. Best of luck to everyone!

I was wondering if there were any tips for how I should be tackling questions and timing in my current progress. I am working through the core curriculum right now and I am noticing that I am quite slow when it comes to answering questions during drills. Should I focus more on process of elimination (takes me longer) or should I focus more on "hunting" for the answer? I do notice that sometimes I am confident with the answer choice I have chosen, but at this stage I am always second guessing myself and it really slows me down.

Sharing this on behalf of a fellow 7Sage user. Any help and answers would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks a bunch!

I am wondering if it is a good idea to mix up the order of practice tests I take. It seems like the ones at the beginning of the list are all from early years. I am thinking I should take tests that are more recent in order to have them be more similar to the modern day ones.

I was going to ask if anyone could help me out with answer choice A and B, but I think I figured it out.

(A) You don't know that cell death OFTEN does not occur in test animals. The stimulus does not support this answer choice.

(B) "Until now studies ... have always involved administering to test animals doses of additives larger than the largest possible human exposure levels and massive enough to kill large numbers of cells in the animals, and then observing the ... rate" definitely supports our answer choice (B), which says that results encouraged overestimation!

On the above mentioned section it mentions how many seats two different kids can sit in. By my reasoning Frank can only sit in seats 1 or 3 and Ruby can only sit in seats 2 or 4 so my answer was (B) Two. It says the correct answer is (C) Three. How is it three not two?

I took the June LSAT and plan on retaking in November. I just recently got 7Sage, I am wondering if I should just go through all of the videos and then begin taking practice tests or should I be incorporating practice tests as I go through the videos?

Thank you!

Hi everybody! I'm trying to improve my speed on logic games and currently I'm taking about 1.5-2 minutes too long on basic logic games, but I'm within the target time frame for harder logic games. I'm not sure what this means, but maybe I'm taking too long to do the setup for the game? Does anybody else have this problem/have any advice for this? Thanks in advance! :)

First timer, taking LSAT this Friday. I was trying to scheduling LSAT writing, and when I clicked the "Launch LSAT Writing" link from the LSAC website, it redirected me to the Lawhub page. I called both ProctorU and LSAC and neither is helpful. Did anyone run into a similar situation and solve it? Thank you.

When reviewing sections that have more than one video per page (such as here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-33-section-4-game-1/), if you press space it will pause the video on top and then play the video on the bottom at the same time... This is one of the most annoying things I have ever come across and drives me absolutely insane.

Is there a way to press space and have it simply pause/unpause the video YOU ARE WATCHING, rather than BOTH videos (even when you never interacted with the second video)?

Struggling to keep the language PG b/c this is pissing me off so bad.

What to Expect Structure Wise

Hey, y'all! I'm taking the LSAT for the first time this Saturday. Would someone mind explaining the generic structure? I know it's LR, LG, RC and an unscored section, but is there a certain number of passages/games they'll give you for each? Thanks!

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I am still waiting to hear back from two law schools. Is there such circumstance to reach out to the admissions committee to extend seat deposit deadline given I am still waiting to hear back from some law schools? I did submit my applications back in December.

Thank you for your time and good luck! :)

154-176

I just wanted to share my LSAT story as it comes to a close. I took a diagnostic in December and got a 154, and then studied all spring semester with classes going on, I was in the 160's after finishing the core curriculum, and then was in the low 170's, but felt like I was plateauing, especially with reading comp and was not really sure what else I could do on my own. I decided to get a tutoring package, and was paired with Chris Bearne, and he was great. We worked almost entirely on reading comp, and was really helpful in me bringing that down and giving me the ability to get 0-2 wrong on that section when I was 4-6 wrong before. I took the April LSAT, and felt great coming out of it, thinking I might have even got a 180, but I ended up getting a 171. While that is a great score, it was below my PT average of 175 so I decided to retake it. I took the June LSAT and got a 176!

A couple of things that I learned during my journey.

Do what it takes to keep you motivated. The advice generally given is to take your time in the core curriculum, do drills instead of PT's, and extensively blind review everything. I tried to follow that advice, and got through all of the CC, albet was not as thorough as I could have been, but as I transitioned to drills I could not get myself excited to study that way, and would end up not feeling very productive. I am a competitive person, I like to play basketball, not shoot hoops, I like to play golf, not go to the driving range, I like to play chess, not do chess puzzles. I could go on and on. I would get genuinely excited to take PTs, excited by the chance to compete and get a better score than last time. I ended up taking 49 practice tests, basically just taking a PT every time I wanted to study. After them I would blind review my flagged questions, and then look at all the video explanations for my incorrect answers and flagged questions. This method was my way of enjoying studying for the thousand hours I probably put into the LSAT in total. I probably could have gotten more efficient results doing the prescribed method, but I like the direction that I went in.

Logic Games are solvable. I ended up getting to the point where I was getting -0 with plenty of time to spare on pretty much every logic games section I did, the only time I did not was typically when I misread something. My method was centered on basically solving all of the worlds before going to any of the questions. I would do all of the splits necessary to get all of the worlds, even if it would take me to like 16 worlds sometimes, because I knew that once it was all solved, all the questions would take like 10 seconds, and I would be 100% confident in my answer being correct. I was pretty much always faster than the recommended time for each game. The trick is figuring out the most efficient ways to split, and to stay organized so that you could keep track of everything. This works for most games but not all games, whenever one of the games that it did not work out on I usually had enough time to realize it and do it the normal way because I saved so much time on the other games. This is what worked for me, it might not work for everyone, but if you are struggling with games I encourage you to give it a shot.

Reading comp is all about focusing while you are reading and connecting all of the dots. This was tough for me because I would often zone out and stop thinking about connecting all of the dots. I realized that all I had to do was read things and then internally connect that to the other things that I had read so far, and I was able to understand everything so much better.
