Title, I just took 93 and did really well. I'm taking august so I'm looking for encouragement that it will translate lol

I've been noticing that I do worse on the second half of LR sections because I run out of time and the questions get harder. Is it a bad strategy to start with the second half of the test first? I just tried it and did better, but not sure if there's any downsides. I liked that at least when I'm running out of time, the easier questions are typically in the beginning..

New lesson under "Resources for Taking Simulated LSATs"

Link here: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/how-should-i-study-for-the-digital-lsat/

Full text below. If you have questions ask away! I'll try to answer if I can.

The LSAT going digital is the biggest change to the test in decades. It’s natural to feel some amount of anxiety as we leave the comfort of our printers and pencils behind to meet our digital LSAT gods.

There is no need to make drastic changes to how you’ve been studying in order to be prepared for the new digital LSAT format. You’re doing fine. This is because the content and the structure of the LSAT will remain exactly the same. Far more than format, it’s the content of the LSAT that ought to determine how you study for this test. Since that's not changing, you shouldn't change how you study. Blind Review is still king for Logical Reasoning. You still need to Fool Proof your Logic Games. And you still need to do Low Resolution summaries for Reading Comprehension.

The only thing different is that you should practice taking digital PrepTests on your tablet with a stylus to simulate actual test day conditions. If you don’t have a tablet, do it on a computer. LSAC is providing PrepTest 73 (September 2014) for free here: https://familiar.lsac.org/. We have every reason to believe that what we’re seeing on that site will be largely the same as what testers will see on July 15, the first administration where roughly half of the students will be taking the digital version of the LSAT. Starting with the September 21 administration, the LSAT will be fully digital.

7Sage will be releasing our version of the digital tester in open beta test mode by May 1 so you’ll have an opportunity to take PrepTests in digital format. The point is simply to get used to the act of doing the test digitally because there are differences from the paper version. For example, one advantage for everyone is that bubbling and flipping back to flagged questions are instantaneous. This results in time savings of 2-3 minutes or 5%-8% of total section time (35 minutes). There will also be an on screen timer so you can see how much time you have remaining without having to consult a watch.

You’ll also have to get used to doing Logic Games on separate sheets of scratch paper with a pen. Yes, you read that right. A pen. The LSAC has lost its mind. Just kidding. But they are seriously claiming that a pen is their writing instrument of choice provided to you along with an unspecified number of sheets of scratch paper.

The tablet itself (Microsoft Surface Go tablet 8.3” x 5.5” screen) will come with a small built in stand so you can tilt the screen slightly. If you’re used to taking your pencil to the paper to point to each word as you read - what I call "tactile reading" - the stylus can be used in an analogous manner. As far as we can tell, you cannot freely write or draw with the stylus. It can only be used to highlight or underline text, flag questions, and select answer choices.

The writing sample will be administered separately beginning with the June 3 administration. Test takers will be doing the writing section on their own computers and it will be typed. The obvious advantage here is that you can do this on your time where you want, as long as you have an internet connection.

Please keep in mind that this information is simply what we know for the time being based on what the LSAC has revealed. Since the Digital LSAT is new for the LSAC as well, we anticipate that they will be tweaking their digital tester and the process throughout future administrations. Accordingly, we will be updating this page.

I just finished the curriculum and am scheduled to take the September LSAT. I am going to take my first practice test tomorrow since I took my diagnostic... Any suggestions on how I should divide my time? Drilling... tests?

Hi, how often are you guys taking PTs? I am still going through the core curriculum syllabus and have started my studying the end of June this year 2023, and try my best to study throughout the work week. Wondering some thoughts on whether I should be incorporating some PTs weekly even though I am not finished with the core? Any and all thoughts please!

Hi, just wondering some thoughts on what the most effective study method is for most. Do I just go down through the syllabus in the order that it shows, or do I continue to stay in a section I am currently in (MSS for LR) retaking the drills until I start getting 100% on all the questions, and start to answer them with the targeted time? #help

To increase and better my time on questions for studying and for this test, many have recommended reading. Is there anything specific, and types of reading that will specifically aid me in increasing my time to meet the target time?

Hi 7Sagers,

The LSAC informed us that the testing interface for the LSAT will undergo changes for the 2023-2024 cycle, beginning with the August 2023 test. As part of enhanced security measures, the use of keyboard commands like CTRL-F will no longer be possible. However, an alternative function, known as "find text", developed by the LawHub team, will offer similar features in a more secure manner. See the image below.

The "find text" function will be visible at the top center of every page, and it allows test takers to search for terms, with results being highlighted with orange tags or made identifiable for visually impaired users via a screen reader (see the image below). To reset the field, users just need to erase the searched term. It is important to note that this function cannot be dismissed and will be present on all LSAT pages.

For test takers to practice, the "find text" function will be implemented on all LawHub practice tests starting from August 1. Guidance on its use will be available in the "Need help?" section on LawHub. Any queries can be directed to licensingsupport@LSAC.org.

Hello, I keep seeing people posting about making a group chat, but it goes nowhere. I’m taking my test in September and seriously looking for people to join a group chat where we can motivate help and encourage each other. Message me or comment usernames if interested.

I have an active LSAC Plus subscription. I have been using it for weeks and it expires in 2024. I just purchased 7SAGE and it says I need to buy the LSAC subscription to link my account. It will not let me access any of the material. I have tried logging in and out, my email is the same for both platforms... I don't know what to do. Has this happened to anyone?

We'll focus on: Reading comprehension, logical reasoning, logic games

When we'll meet and what we'll do: Meet via Zoom a few times a week to talk through problem sets

How to join: Join our GroupMe! https://groupme.com/join_group/95482412/y6ZI83Nz

I was able to reach the right answer because I came up with a saying or mnemonic. I wrote down "because something is correlated doesn't mean 1 causes the other. And you can be at a higher level when you start w/ skills.

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

At first, I chose B instead of D. I thought D was questioning their credibility and I didn't pick up on that in the passage and chose B, because I understood it to mean that it would be more risky to not believe the people who have more to lose. But then I realized, that it's not risky to the reader necessarily what the forecast states, so that can't be right. It never said their would be consequences for the person reading it if they listened to the wrong expert just that the experts were facing various levels of risk. Also, questioning whether you should trust someone based on who has more skin in the game is questioning their reliability of the person that takes less risk, so I can see why D is right and B is wrong now.

Hi everyone! I have a 9-5 job, and do timed sections every day with review from 6:00 am to 8:20 am.

I’m new to 7Sage, and there are a variety of ways to study, but I’m not sure what the best way to study is. I’ve read the LSAT Trainer, and ran through LSAT Demon’s lessons on the LSAT but now since i’m on 7Sage, do I go through all the concepts regarding the lessons or do I continued to do timed sections with blind review and watch all the explanations and take notes? #help

Can't seem to find any. Only 2 LR or 2LG PTs...

I got stuck on this question between answer A and answer E. I went with A knowing that the 'every' in the answer would most likely be wrong. I almost selected E because it says 'they (men) fell short in all other categories' meaning men would have fallen short of fruits and vegetables like answer E says.

Can anyone give an example of how they solved this question so I can clear the smoke a little more in my thinking?

Hi,

I tried creating a LR drill based on 25 questions and these categories: Agree, Weak, NA, Para, AP, Inf, RRE, Streng, Disagr, Flaw, PSAr using PT B - 75 on Hard Difficulty, yet I get the error message "Sorry, we were not able to create a drill based on your criteria. Please try again."

I'm on Windows 11 and Google Chrome. Could anyone help me out? Thanks.

Consider the following statement: A good apple is a ripe apple, and an apple will not be picked unless it is ripe.

We can come up with two diagrams here: 1) picked apple --> ripe apple 2) good apple --> ripe apple

I understand it is not possible to form a conditional chain in this case. However, is it possible to say: picked apple + good apple --> ripe apple?

I am asking this question because the answer to this question requires me to understand that we can say -ripe -> -good + - picked. Could you explain both statements using + to me? Thank you.

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

Hi all,

Lately, as I have begun dumping more time into LG (and I mean a considerable amount of time, roughly 4-6 hours a day), they have begun to cloud my dreams. I've woken up at least once every night for the last week because the LG I make up in my dream gets too confusing. I wonder if anyone else has had this experience and what you/they did to mitigate it.

Thanks!

This question was doozy. I wanted to share with others my notes on how I got the correct answer during Blind Review. During the timed test, I would most likely skip this one and save it for later. It took some time for me to translate the stimuli into a format that made sense to me.

At first, I also thought that the sentence in question was the conclusion of the argument. I had to ask myself what the author was really trying to convince me of; that it is not necessary to be at home to be in your house? No. The author was trying to convince me "You can be in your backyard and not at home, that is, not in your house."

So, my notes to decipher it and arrive at the correct answer looked like this:

Difficult argument structure. I think it is C because if we rewrote the stimuli into easier language to read and understand it would look like:

Conclusion: You can be at home if you are in your backyard but not in your house.

Premise: For example, you can also be in your house but not at home if you rent your house to others. (If you're the landlord you could be in the house to do repair work, but you are not 'at home' because you don't live there)

Premise 2/Subconclusion: Therefore it is not sufficient to be in your house to be at home.

Translation of answer choice C: Claim is compatible with the truth or falsity of the conclusion = This is a premise/sub conclusion

Hi! Does anyone know what the priority rankings mean when looking at your analytics? Because there are some question types that I have a high % of accuracy but then it gives a number - or + regarding priority. So if i have a higher % of accuracy shouldn't that question type have a lower priority ranking (meaning a positive number)?

Thankyou!

Hello! May someone give me advice on how to diagram a sentence that has both no and until in it? For example: No dog can go until their owners leave.

For the No, u would negate the necessary, but for the until, u negate the sufficient, so I am confused. Thank you!!

Hi All,

I am currently in the process of reworking my resume to tailor it for law school. I am about to enter my final year of undergrad, and plan to apply this fall.

Just wondering about two main things:

What should we include on our resume about highschool? Just the school and the year? Honour roll/awards in graduating year? Any clubs? I was not planning on mentioning all clubs/extra curriculars, but I did found/participate in one club all the way through high school, so I am wondering if it is worth including.

Can we include items that are planned for the upcoming school year? For example, if I have already joined a club this summer and will be beginning to ramp up my involvement in the fall, should I write about my expected duties?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there a way to make drills based off of questions you got wrong in previous drills? I only saw the option to compile questions you got wrong during previous practice tests, not drills themselves.

Thanks.

Hi all,

For logic games, I am constructing a game board for the conditionals and inferences just like JY does. My question is, for the questions, are you writing out new game boards and glancing at the conditionals? Let's say in a question they ask that if X person is placed on the 3rd spot, what could be true about where Y is placed, do you write over your original game board or write out a new one next to the question?

I usually select and copy the game board on my iPad next to the question, but I know I won't be able to do this when test day comes.

I'm trying to find the most time efficient way to do this. Thank you!
