Anybody know of any lessons or have any advice on sets vs supersets? Feeling discouraged by PT 89. Q's 9 & 22 are mainly the ones I just want a deeper dive on.
I'm not sure that JY has covered sets vs supersets more broadly in a video but figured i'd ask if anybody knew. TIA!

Hello I scored a 169 on the January LSAT. I'm looking for 1 or 2 people who would be committed to Blind Reviewing 1 RC passage per day in the morning 8:30am Pacific time/ 11:30 Eastern Time. Where we could justify the answers we picked and hear each other thought processes. It's only one passage so it would be quick but I know it would be extremely helpful and would probably take Maximum 30 minutes to fully review it. I'm only looking for someone whos at in the 170 range or a little bit below it and is LEGITIMATLEY COMMITED to review and learning. My last Practice tests has been 169/169/174/172/170/171/169/174/172/173.
I have been studying LG consistently for the past five months. I finished the entire LG core curriculum, foolproofing every single game along the way. I have also foolproofed about 6 LG sections. I always watch explanation videos after doing games and repeat the game until perfect. I also feel comfortable with the LG foundations - on blind review I consistently get -0 to -1. But on fresh timed LG sections, I can barely make it through two games. I am truly not sure what I'm doing wrong and find this to be extremely demoralizing. I would appreciate any advice!
have you ever heard an lsat prepbook describe a negative sufficient condition as a "denial of the antecedent" or an illegal negation described as "affirmation of the consequent"? Ever heard a book mention the latin modus tollens? ponens?
i have not. ever.
the lsat prep books seem to give these concepts different names and designations. However, as i got more interested in conditional logic and formal logic concepts (as a result of lsat studying), i stumbled upon an old book called "A System of Logic" by John Stuart Mill (1843). Mill's book seems to take a look at LSAT logic concepts (provided by the lsat prepbooks ) in a much more formal way, giving the concepts more complicated names, introducing different symbols for propositional statements etc.
my question is this : do the lsat prep books SIMPLIFY mill's book? or is mill's book a more THOROUGH version of the lsat prepbooks? furthermore, could mill's book be used as a complete substitute to some of the lsat prepbooks, helping students save money on prepbooks and ultimately providing a better logical foundation than the prepbooks could provide anyway?
let me know what you think, thanks.

Was just curious as I was approved for a fee waiver.
Is it better to craft the writing sample before or after taking the test? Does it matter? How many days/hours should usually be put into it? Thanks!
Just got my score back after taking it a second time. The first time I took it was with the LSAT Flex during Covid. I do not remember my score but I definitely cancelled it. Anyways, I got my score back today and I scored a 135 (big yikes). Mind you, I have scored on practice tests in the high 150s so I was really surprised. I have college applications due soon. But I'm currently an immigration paralegal who works full time. I'm hoping that my 4 years of immigration law experience, GPA, personal statements, and recommendation letters from mentors and lawyers I currently work with will have some law schools overlook my score. I'm also applying to 10 schools in hope that at least ONE school will take me. My score does not define me. But also at the same time, highly contemplating to take the next test in April.
HELP!!! Any advice is highly appreciated :)
I was just wondering...aside from stellar GPA and LSAT, if law schools like Yale Harvard Stanford and Columbia would consider the workload of each semester...? Like how many units you have taken. I am asking this because I took extremely low units in some semesters where I was affected negatively by a car accident.
Why did this happen???
Feeling grateful for this fantastic resource. Blind review, wrong answer journal, drill old question sets until you get them perfect in under time. These aren't just buzzwords and sayings--they won the day for me. Phew--feeling relief. Time for donuts and big chilling time.
(technically got a 164 on the diagnostic but I had already done the LG section on that PT and blind reviewed it on another platform, my next test where I went in fully blind was a 159)
Hello hello, 7Sagers! Are you looking for an easy way to find people to study with? Or do you just want a break from reviewing questions on your own?
You're in luck! Join us for our next "Study Group Breakout" on Tuesday, February 21st from 9:00-10:30pm ET.
Here's how it works:

Hi! I just got my jan mark back and i think im going to rewrite it. I got a mid 150s mark and my goal is mid 160s.. i have used almost all of the 7sage study material drilling wise and i have done the pt's in 80s and all of 90's including the latest the 93 prep test. I am super confused as to how i would restudy? how do i go about using the same material again
So I'm taking the LSAT in February, and I am hopeful to at least score in the 150s there, however in order to get into the Law School I am thinking of getting into, I would have to score anything above 165ish. Is that jump possible? If so what tips or tricks do you all recommend?
I am trying to fine tune my LR, and most advice i see is to study the questions types you struggle with, but after looking over my analytics all the LR questions I'm getting wrong are pretty evenly distributed between all question types.
My consistently wrong answers are the ones that are ranked as 4-5 level difficulty. What exactly should I do for that? Just take drill sets of hard questions over and over and over?
I was wondering which of the two paths might be recommended. I understand that improving the LSAT is not a surety, but with more time, I believe I can.
1) Apply this Fall of 2023 with a lower LSAT than I would like and on the lower-end for schools I am aiming for. But, know that if I do not get in to those schools, apply again in Fall 2024 with a better LSAT score.
2) Do not apply at all with this lower LSAT score and rather work to improve it until it is near the level it needs to be by Fall 2024 applications (i.e., do not both with application process in Fall 2023).
Any guidance is super appreciated!
I read somewhere that some law schools average all LSAT scores instead of taking the highest one, but I thought that was old. Does anyone know if any still do?

Just got my January LSAT results back, and unfortunately I performed the worst I ever have on a test. This was my first official LSAT however I've been studying and PTing for the past 8 months, so I know for a fact that it is not an accurate reflection of my potential, or even close to my average PT scores. I'm debating on cancelling since I already purchased the score preview, however, I'm not too sure whether it is a good idea to cancel vs not to cancel since this is my first official test. I'm not applying til next cycle so I'm wondering how will this affect my application when I do go to apply?
Hello, looking to help some people struggling to achieve their goals for the LR section. Message me!
Hello everyone. If Law School 25th percentile is 150 and 50th percentile 154, and my score is 152, that means I am in 50th percentile?
Hi everyone!
I have been using 7Sage for the past 2 months I feel as though I have improved with all of the syllabus curriculum so far. However, I find myself REALLY struggling with higher difficulty weaken/flaw questions. I really need help or tips as I feel stuck even with the materials currently provided, and I think I need a push to get me past my plateau with these question types!
Thanks and please #help :)
I just realized that 7sage has an automatic drill building function where you can create drills of LR, RC, or LG and filter by type of question. It tells you how many clean questions you have to draw from for each question type.
My concern: does it draw clean questions from PT's 35+ ??? I don't want to use questions from future PT's I might do, but want to build sets of certain question types and that seems easiest to do with this function.

Hello, I took the LSAT in the fall of my Senior year in college back in 1996. I decided to venture on a professional career in law enforcement. I am planning to take the LSAT either late this year or early 2024 and planning to retire and go to law school hopefully sometime in 2024 or 2025. I faintly recall the LSAT from 27 years ago, I am just beginning my journey to reacquaint myself with the process again. Has the exam changed, are there new areas that have been introduced? Also, is the test at the testing center computer based now? Needless to say, it was not computer based back in 1996. I feel I have a lot to learn about the process again.
