I'm working full time on Eastern Time and looking for someone in a similar boat. I'm currently PTing at 168-174 and my weak spot is Logic Games (keep getting ~ -5). Looking for someone to do untimed drills with and really get into the technique, process, and reasoning behind these. I think I do timed sections and BR better individually with LG so want to spend time doing in-depth reviews. Maybe we can each solve a game and then solve each other's games and see how we did, analyze, and discuss. I am aiming to get -0 on LG.

I am free on Tuesday evenings after 5 PM and Thursday evenings after 5 PM (EST) to do this. Let me know if there is interest!

just another thank you seven sage post!! never thought I would get to make one of these lol. I've seen so many of these posts and the only part of them that discouraged me from time to time was when people mentioned their crazy score increases yet the score they were comparing their official score to was their diagnostic test. I scored a 147 on my official first LSAT after already having exposure to/studying for the test. I think it is important to mention that it is fully possible to make SIGNIFICANT gains even if you have yet to see them after a few months of studying! Be patient with yourself :) patience was something I lacked most days!!

I definitely understand and am aware of my mistakes and am regretting not finding a real solution before, but here's my case.

I took the LSAT 3 times over 2022 (mainland China, extreme COVID-19 measures)

I boosted my grade from 153 to 159. Not ideal, of course. My PTs show consistent 165s. There were factors including being quarantined without any LSAT materials and my laptop for 21 days, my uncle committed suicide a week before the test and I was the only one who was in the area that could take care of him, one of my parent got diagnosed with diabetes and I had to spend my time taking care of him, my entire family tested positive for COVID.

These factors impact my grade significantly since I literally cannot have time to prepare. I did apply to this cycle, but I know my chances are low.

I am not sure if I boosted my LSAT up to a 170+, would that change anything for re-applying to the next cycle? Are my previous grades going to reflect badly about me?

I don't want to keep my hopes too high. Trying to be as realistic as I can right now :(

On the conditional indicator drill made by the student, the logical indicator "will" appear and the rule say's it indicates a necessary term.

"Will" however, is not on the "4 Translation Group Cheatsheet". It also confuses me because on the basic translation group 2 flashcards an example is "only a GPS will reveal where you are" .... the answer indicates that in lawgic it reads:

a --> GPS and /GPS --> /a.

I do realize that the LI "only" is also in that sentence, however the term "will" is now tripping me up and I do not know to include it in my Group 2 Logical Indicator or not. Please help! :)

Prep Tests

It looks as if the 7Sage study schedule includes the prep tests in the hourly commitment. Although, without them it looks as if it is a less daunting endeavor given the number of hours needed to study is almost cut in half. I wanted to ask if the actual material is all 500+ hours or are we only truly learning in the "core curriculum" portion of the study schedule?

Has anyone had a similar issue?

The particular issue I'm having is that the summary of the AC's correct and incorrect under the Drill Sets "Review Results" is not matching what is shown in the individual explanations. For example, I just completed four logic games from PT 31. As I'm in the process of FPing, I'm not always BRing directly after, I sometimes show results immediately under timed conditions to see what was correct and incorrect. I got four incorrect of the thirty five, three from one particular game and one from another. Specifically, PT 31, S1, G2 (Music store sells ten CD's), the results from the Drill Set say I got 7, 8, and 13 incorrect. When I go to watch the explanation, it now says 7, 8, 9, 12 were incorrect, with 13 having changed to correct. When I go over to the right of the AC's and hover over the wheel showing previous ACs with the selected AC and the corresponding date, it's giving me the incorrect date's AC. This is just becoming a slight challenge as I'm starting to notice a pattern where the AC's are becoming convoluted with the previous attempt. I'm using Safari on macOS Monterey 12.6.3

Hi there, I'm reviewed an old LR questions (PT24 S3 Q10) and this particular problem introduced subsets into the mapping. I have come across these problems in the past and never apply the subset. Anyone know if there is a core curriculum lesson or article/post on this matter that's reliable?

My issue for this particular question, is that I wrote S ->/MB while JY wrote it as /MBs. I have looked at other LSAT resource forums and they solve it in the same manner as I do.

Can people please post LSAT percentiles from official tests for 2022. They have changed over time. The ones I posted are official percentiles from either personal or from friends for 2022. The percentiles do slightly change over time but the ones posted are current/ official percentiles. I'm missing 171-174 if anybody has received/ and or knows of someone with that score please post it in the comment sections. Also if you think there's value in filling 162-165 and 167-168 feel free to also post that. The main intention was from 96% (170 and UP). Again the percentiles have changed! A 170 used to be top 2% (98%) and lowered to top 3% (97%) as more and more people started scoring higher scores. Now its top 4% (96%). If I do end up getting responses then I will edit this post and fill up the missing percentiles/ scores.

I know a 161= 78%

166= 90%

169= 95%

170= 96%

171=

172=

173=

174=

175= 99%

I'm considering withdrawing from a one credit class, as it's taking way too much time and it's just an elective music credit. So, the class isn't relevant to my major and withdrawing wouldn't affect my GPA. Does having a W look bad from an admissions standpoint? This would be my only W

I've been studying around 5-6 hours every day for about a month now, and I'm scheduled to take the exam in April (my 3rd attempt overall). However, I'm currently stuck in a slump where I feel super unmotivated since my score's been plateauing in the low 160s, which is around what my result was on my most recent real test, and I really want to break into the 170s. Whenever I take PTs, my best and worst section is constantly changing - for example, I'll get -7 on one RC and then -3 on another, and the same goes for LR. With LG, I'll get -0/-1 on drills, but on practice tests, I almost never do that well. I feel like I need to drastically overhaul my studying methods because right now, nothing seems to be working, but I don't know where to start. Tutoring is out of the question since I'm not looking to spend any more money, so any advice on how to continue studying on my own is greatly appreciated!

I am sitting for February 2023 shortly but when the scores release come March 1st and it’s not the score I am aiming for, I would like to take the June 2023. My question is what to do during those 14 days after taking the test because I have a studying momentum right now and don’t want to lose it in case I have to get back into studying again. Should I take the necessary 14 days off and start after the score release, if need be?

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official February 2023 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the February 2023 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, February 14th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  • The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  • Good luck to everyone taking the February 2023!

    **Please keep all discussions of the February 2023 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Has anyone had success getting a test limit exemption approved by LSAC, currently in this situation and looking to see if anyone has advice for me. Any help would be so greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi all!

    My understanding is the following:

  • inclusive “or” gives you group 3
  • “not both” gives you group 4.
  • “either or but not both” gives you the bi-conditional group.
  • However, when "or" means "and" in a sentence, do we follow Group 3 rules? How would we write it in Lawgic?

    Example: Jane is a faster eater than either Mary or Jon.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey! So I'm currently about 50% of the way done with the Core Curriculum on 7Sage and am planning on taking the June LSAT this year (for the 2023-2024 application cycle). I feel like I'm in a pretty solid spot right now but I definitely have a lot more to do.

    However, after doing some research from various sources, I'm seeing that the June LSAT is historically, from a statistical perspective, the hardest one that is administered. If you're reading this, can you confirm whether or not this is true? Additionally, should I even let these aforementioned stats influence which month I take the LSAT in? Thanks for taking the time to read this!
