Hi I need some advice. I’ve been studying the lsat almost full time since January of this year. I’m shooting for a 170 plus but ever since I’ve been more strict on time for Rc and lr, I sometimes ended up getting -10on rc sometimes. Normally i would average around -4/5 but the trickier qs and denser passages in more recent pts rlly have been hurting me. For lr also, i would avg -2/3 but on some of the ones i. The 70-80 range i got -4/5 per section. My LG is normally perfect but because of my fluctuating rc score I score sometimes in the low 60 and occasionally in the low 70s(mostly high 60s). Im debating whether I should try taking it this week officially for the first time or if I should spend more time with rc and get more consistent and better at lr and shoot for august or September…Some say take it for the experience but based on my rc level I think the best I could do is maybe a 168-170? Best case scenario? Should I give it a shot or postpone it and take it when I consistently pt in the 170 range?

Thanks!

I've taken 2 preptests and have improved from a 140 to a 149. I feel proud of that for sure. But, I got RC-18, LG-8, LR-10.

I know the RC is the hardest to improve on, but do I have a shot of getting it to the level of the others by the August 2023Test?

Is it correct that 7sage does not have explanation videos for all questions of every PT? I took PT2 and blind reviewed it. It seems like most of the questions do not have any explanation video, it is either "Discuss" or a video of zoom recording by other instructors (not J.Y. Ping). Are there just no explanation videos for PTs in general, except for some"difficult questions"? Is there a more productive and efficient way to study for it besides googling for each question or posting questions about it?

Virtual study partner for August exam. I am currently operating EDT. Looking for someone to take and review PTs with. Let me know if you are interested!

Hey, I go to University of Virginia and looking for someone to study alongside me/help each other get the best scores possible

I studied abroad for the Fall Semester, and those classes appear on my undergrad transcript as transfer credits (no grade, I just received credit for completion). Do I need to submit a transcript from study abroad? A bit confused by LSAC guidance.

As someone who just took their first official LSAT in June, I feel confident that 7sage works wonders. I recommend that you volunteer to answer questions as much as possible. Doing this helped the classroom instructors narrow down what I was doing well, and help me define what I needed to improve upon.

The more I showed up to classes, the more the instructors had time to help my specific issues. While the instructors did a great job working with all the students, there is value in being a repeat and active volunteer. As I grew in the courses and classes, I started asking specific questions and getting more specific feedback. Some of the advice I received was absolutely valuable to improving my overall score.

I recommend even if you are feeling hopeless and that the LSAT is a monster, that you volunteer in classes. Do your best to treat it like a part-time job and show up often and on-time. Experiment with each tutor and try out each of their individual approaches. Finally, don't skip over the courses that are Review or Study Plan focused, these specific courses usually had lower classroom attendance, and had more time to give very specific answers to my questions.

I would not have felt nearly as prepared for this test without 7sage. For anyone on the fence, go all in. It's worth it.

anyone in seoul/south korea or similar time zone that wants to keep each other accountable?!

for context, i just went through the entire 7sage curriculum and about to start drilling and taking PTs. aiming to take the august/september/october lsat :)

lmk!

Did anyone else move immediately away from A because of the more absolute syntax that was being used? I answered incorrectly in both my regular round AND in blind review...

Hello all,

I am currently in my third year of a business program. In my second year, I became interested in computer science through elective courses I had taken, and decided to enroll into a dual degree offered at my school. This adds 1-2 years of course requirements (depending on how many courses you take per semester).

After a year in the program, I have realized that it is likely not for me. Overall I perform well in the courses, but since I joined the program late, I am realizing that I am unlikely to finish in only 1 additional year. I am most likely looking at at least 2 years due to a maximum allowance of courses that can be taken per semester. (I work full time over summers, so that is not an option).

Given that I want to go to law school, it seems silly to me to continue to pay for rent in a town far from home, and to continue paying tuition, simply because I find the courses interesting. With all that being said, I am wondering what people think the effects of dropping the second degree will be on my applications. Like many, I am hoping to go to a t14 school. According to my academic advisors, there will be a note on my transcript that I withdrew from the program, but it will not have any effect on my marks or my progress in my business degree.

TLDR: I am currently enrolled in two undergraduate degrees through a program offered at my school. I want to drop the second degree, and I am worried it will negatively impact my applications.

Hi all,

A little bit about me I am a Criminal Defense/Trial Assistant Paralegal. So, my schedule is pretty jam packed. I am looking for a study buddy/group that would like to meet a couple of times a week on zoom. More or less to keep each other accountable and simply be on the zoom to study. We can go into more details after.

Here are my thoughts on days or times (EST).

Monday - 8-10pm?

Wednesday or Thursday - 8-10pm?

Friday - 6-8pm?

I am open to other days. Let's do this! I am looking to take the test in November.

Looking for a study partner for the September test. I work full-time, so someone who's willing to studying around that schedule.

are you still allowed to use tablets for remote exams?

Taking it for the first time tomorrow morning. Wanted to come on here to say it’s been quite the journey. I started with a 150 in January and scored a 175 on my last two PTs. Thank you 7sage (and other resources) for helping me make it happen. ONE AND DONE TOMORROW!! I am excited to no longer dream about LR questions….lol.

To anyone testing tomorrow YOU GOT THIS! Feel free to manifest your goal score on this post.

Here is mine: I am smart and capable. I have worked hard to master this test. I know what I am doing. I will score over a 170 tomorrow. Hell — I will beat my own record of 175!

Reminder - this isn’t to brag OR be arrogant. Just putting out good vibes in the world! :)

I started studying for the LSAT a week ago. I am taking my LSAT in September. What version would you guys recommend V1 or V2?

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

What is an example of a circular reasoning argument? Additionally, I typically have started approaching AC's with the mentality of what works best for the stimulus/question. The AC may be itself far from perfect/poorly written, but that may be an LSAT writer trap to deter us from picking the correct one. On the LSAT an AC is correct if out of all the other options, it best does the thing the question is asking for. Can you let me know if this line of thinking is correct for assessing LR and RC answer choices? #help

Looking for a study partner/group - doesnt have to be from Toronto!

need someone to study with in Maui

Can someone explain why the correct answer choice is C for PT 9, Section 4, Question 20?

Hello team,

is the Syllabus the 7sage curriculum and do we need to complete all of it before moving on to make a study an individual study plan with Julia?

Hi! I am looking for a study partner/group, ideally located in Richmond and preparing for the September 2023 exam or another exam around that time. I’ve been studying on and off since last July but am buckling down for the Sept exam. I’m typically studying from 10:30a-5:30p on weekdays (with an hour for lunch) and taking full exams on Saturdays (then blind reviewing after). Cannot do Sundays but could do weekday evenings if other times don’t work (except Tuesday evenings). Please DM if interested. Thanks :)

If I am taking my first LSAT in August, and have already begun studying the syllabus, how should I incorporate practice drills and PTs to maximize my efficiency? Should I complete the syllabus fully and then complete practice drills and PTs after? Or should I mix in practice drills and PTs within my studying of the syllabus?

Hi everyone,

Just have a few questions for those who will be writing upcoming lSAT test dates, or who who have written the LSAT online in the past.

What methods or tips can I use to mitigate the disadvantages of writing the test online vs paper? For example, for questions I find it very important to highlight and circle key words. I assume there is no option like this for the online version.

Thank you.

Hi everyone! You all may be aware of the negation strategy for required assumption questions in logical reasoning—basically the idea that if you negate an answer choice and the negation weakens the overall argument made, then it is probably the correct answer.

The curriculum explains some specific negations, such as some/none and all/some not. But since these questions are so common and there are so many complex ways to phrase answer choices, I was wondering if anyone had any tips that they use to negate really difficult statements (ie. unless, only if, at least, etc.).

Another part that trips me up with negation is when there are two potential parts of the sentence I could negate. In these cases, which part do you focus on?

Thank you so much!
