I'm going through the syllabus and I don't know how I'm supposed to study. Should I perfect each question type before I move on, or should I move and go through the whole thing and then begin focused review.

Sometimes I don't know when it's time to move on.

I hate this test. It's so so hard. T-T

I feel helpless.

Hi All,

First, thanks for your time. Secondly, I have watched videos, and supplement videos as well. I have completed all the “You Try” questions and got it all correct.

But, as soon as I attempt the drills, I am not doing very well. Any tips, advice, or notes you can provide?

Thanks in advanced.

Is there anyway to print out the drill sets? Reading off a computer screen doesnt allow me to engage as much as I can on a piece of paper. I find myself doing alot better on paper than on a computer.

Hello everyone. Understanding that the undergraduate GPA is an extremely important factor in your application, I have a hard time viewing the strength of mine. I went to a strong liberal arts college that’s known to be very anti-grade inflation. They also don’t give out A+ grades. CAS gives credit to A+ grades and it seems a 3.72/4.00 GPA is at a disadvantage compared to many people who have it out of 4.33 with CAS conversion.

I’ve been told conflicting answers and now I’m even more confused. I would like to hear input to see where I am so I can put my worries to rest.

I am wondering if anyone is in the same shoes because I keep consistently getting "very high" priority questions wrong and consistently getting the "Very low" priority questions right. Does anyone have any tips that might help or if they have experienced the same issues.

I'm confused on my progress. The last few PT's I've taken over the course of a month have all been in the high 150s, so I've started to switch up my approach and purely drill for the past week. LR is my worst section, so I've been prioritizing that. Yesterday I took 3, 10 question randomly-generated LR drills and got 26/30 correct. I was very pleased with that. Today, however, I got only 17/30 correct. All the drills randomly generated were between 25%-35% expected incorrect.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. My diagnosis score 3 months ago was a 146, and since then I've only gone up 10 points or so and have not seen any improvement in over a month. I'm feeling a bit stuck here as my PT's are remaining in the same range, and my drills go really well one day, and not so well another day. Any advice would be much appreciated as I am feeling very discouraged and lost at the moment. Thanks!

Anyone want to form a study group chat to help send questions and keep accountability high? Less than a month to go!

Who's ready to crush this test?? We've put in the work and now it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Note down some words of self-encouragement or if you're not taking it yet, give us August test-takers some hype!!

In the new LR curriculum, JY mentions the importance of thinking about the mode of reasoning before going into the answer choices. I know the basic modes of reasoning that we covered in depth (part to whole, cost-benefit, etc) but later in the video lessons, he mentions specific ones (trade-offs, unintended negative consequences, interdependence) that he only touches on when discussing the answer choices. For the harder questions with less common modes of logic, I find myself struggling with putting these modes of reasoning into words which makes it harder to see flaws/analogous arguments, so does anyone have any resources that can help me get familiar with them? Thanks in advance!

How would you translate a sentence into lawgic that has both negate sufficient & negate necessary indicators in it?

Ex: "No entry after 9 pm without a valid ID." or "One cannot bake a cake without flour."

seeking a study partner in Toronto or Durham to prepare for the LSAT together

Hello everyone,

I am currently asking professors for LORs, and am a little worried. My classes are all online, and I'm worried that the professors may not take LORs as seriously as they would if we were in a traditional classroom setting. So far, I've asked two professors, and they both said they would be glad to do it, but one hasn't responded to my follow-up email from a few days ago, and I'm worried that she may have just forgotten about me or changed her mind. Any advice on how to stay in touch with these professors via email without bothering them?

Hey,

Anyone in Seoul interested in joining an offline study group?

I'm currently getting around low 160's on my practice exams.

Hope to see if anyone who shares common interests to join my journey!

FYI, I'm aiming for the Jan 2025 exam, but anyone with a different time goal are welcomed!

I'm taking the LSAT this week, and I would just like to know when others are planning to do their writing sections. I'm trying to focus on the actual LSAT, but I can't help but feel like the writing section is looming over me. Are most people waiting to prepare and take the writing section after their August test date?

Hi, I just started studying with 7sage.

I tried to use keyboard shortcuts (spacebar & k) to pause the video, but it doesn't work.

Searching Google got me nowhere. Plz help me, it is more uncomfortable than i thought to pause it using the mouse every time lol

FYI, I use Chrome, and I tried all 3 kinds of video players on settings but still not working. (also tried update to current version & restart)

I think it's just me tho ... seems like no one on the reddit & discussion experienced the same.

Is there anything else that i can try?

Thank you

I wanted to take a preptest, and I didn't realize I was under the obsolete format category of preptests. LG was the very last section. I just skipped the section. However, I haven't done blind review yet because I feel like my actual score is going to much lower / my data in analytics is going to be off since I skipped an entire section. I know I can manually input the #correct/#incorrect to see what I actually got, but is there any way to avoid it screwing up the analytics portion? Or is it not really going to mess with it since LG is gone?

Hello, I am kinda late to this process and I took a diagnostic test and scored a 135 and my goal is to get a 155 on a LSAT and I am planning to take it in October or November. Any tips and strategies that could help me. My weakest part is Reading comprehension.

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has founded/created a good LSAT quizlet that has logical indicators, premise/conclusion indicators, etc.? Basically, the more "memorize" portions of the LSAT.

Would appreciate any assistance!

Best,

Consider this original statement: "Most people are white." Its negation is: "It's not the case that most people are white." i.e. 0-50% people are white. Isn't this the equivalent of "Most people are not white"?

In contrast, given: "Most people are not white" Its negation is "It's not the case that most people are not white." i.e. 0-50% are not white. In this case, I know the negation is not equivalent to "Most people are white". It's not a binary cut here. Compared to the first statement, what changed? I'm not sure how to think about this.

The question asks us to identify the best explanation for why these birds choose a wooden box. The given answer choice B only explains why the birds prefer the wooden box to "highly concealing woody vegetation" but fails to account for why the wooden boxes are preferred over open grasslands. Answer C seems to more fully resolve the question. Defensive behavior from 'nest builders' ( which I have taken to mean both the birds who next in highly concealing woody vegetation and open grasslands as the wooden boxes specifically wouldn't have to be a built nest.) Taking this assumption doesn't C answer the question more fully than B.

I get the issue is probably that my assumption goes too far. But the LSAT often requires us to make leaps in logic that feel much further than the wooden box vs nest builder assumption I've made here.

Looking for active study buddies who are putting in respectable hours prior to the September test (preferably those who already have the foundation understood).

I’m located on the west side of the United States (Eastern time) and don’t mind in person but I know we could maximize our time and attempts best through “Discord”.

Please only respond if you are looking to actually start studying immediately. If you are unsure of your study schedule this late into the game you can try to find a session on going when you can.

I’ll send a message with the discord link to those who are interested. Will be doing a 2 hour session tonight for “Logical Reasoning”.

Is there a public calendar link for all of the live classes? I would like to be able to sync everything onto my personal calendar app and then just look at the events from there.

Does anybody have any helpful tips to improve on RC? it's my worst section

I don't understand the meaning of this phrase when used in answer choices for questions concerning argument flaws. Like does it mean that the argument is flawed because there could have been stronger use of this aspect that was taken for granted? Does it mean the argument is flawed because it drew a weak/misguided conclusion from this aspect?

I have been scoring very consistently (plus or minus1) around a score that I am very happy with for a month and a half now, but yesterday, on my last planned practice exam, I just completely bombed the RC section, resulting in a score a whole 7 points before my average. I knew it while I was in the test. It felt like my short term memory was just gone all of a sudden. LR sections were consistent with my past performance, but I don't really understand what was going on with RC. Has anyone else experienced this sudden lapse in short term memory? It felt very specific, because, as I said, LR felt solid. Any thoughts on how to prevent this on the real thing next week?
