How does JY run the contrapositive on chains so quickly/accurately in his head? what is the best way to get good at it?

I keep need to telling myself Necessary Failed so rule triggers and so on... any advice would be great. Thanks

I'm applying to Law Schools now, my apps went complete in early January after winter break, and have been a little discouraged by my results...

I applied to 5 schools. Some were definitely reaches but there were one or two where I felt like I was a match. My stats are 164 and 3.1 (in finance) and I have been working at a prestigious company in the SouthEast for a year.

I've been R/WL by schools where I'm about 25-40th percentile LSAT. I know I'm on the below avg side there and my GPA is way lower, but I had hoped my UG leadership might make up for that.

Does anyone have any intel or hunches about whether a strong resume is just not exceptional enough to really help? I was SGA President of a 30,000 person student body (elected in a vote of 10,000+) among other strong leadership positions, and was able to make connections that should serve as impressive rec's.

Trying not to feel discouraged... the cycle isn't over!!

If you don't know what the title of this post means, I've got good news! This change won't affect you at all. It will only make your life on 7Sage a bit simpler.

If you use our Admissions site, heads up! We're folding the Admissions Site into the LSAT site, and for the time being, there's a new way to navigate to the Admissions Course.

After completing a drill, I review the results and see "pin" on the first column. What's the purpose of this feature? How to best use it? Will very much appreciate your response.

I see 7sage updated the syllabus form, how can I see how many hours I studied instead of lessons? #help

I just signed up for the Monthly + Live subscription of 7Sage and am eager to get started! However, I am having an issue as the LSAT date selector/study planner will not let me select an LSAT dat/Study end date later than June 2023.

I won’t be taking the test until next year, so I was wondering how it would be possible for me reflect that in my studies?

For this one I picked E but is it because that its more of background information as opposed to a premise which the answer A is?

I guess the reason why its true is because its strengthening the reason to use sugar on the wound, best explained because of its dehydrating effect. I originally choose E but then switched it to A and got it right in a blind review.

Hi! I am looking for advice on whether I should cancel or keep my February LSAT score. This was the second time I took the LSAT and I received a 169 which was unfortunately lower than my first score (November) of 170. Despite additional studying, I just found this test a lot harder (thanks to the LG). I have score preview and need to decide whether to cancel the 169 or keep it. On one hand my instinct is to cancel since it's lower than my first score, but I have also read that it can be a mistake to cancel anything in/above the 160s (since it may be assumed you did particularly bad)? I may be taking the LSAT a third time (targeting 172), depending on my summer plans. I would appreciate any/all insights. Thank you!

I picked C for both during the timed run and blind review.

I read from another post that C is wrong because it's mixing up the sufficiency and necessity condition but I'm still not seeing that this is the case.

In the last sentence of the stimulus it says, "Clearly then to maintain military deterrence, a nation would have to be believed to have retaliatory power so great..."

I translated this sentence to MD --> Belief and I thought it was bi-conditional.

Belief --> Military deterrence

Military deterrence --> Belief.

Is this the wrong way to translate that sentence? I can see how D is correct but I'm not able to eliminate C because of this confusion.

Could someone clarify this little bit more?? Thank you!

Just curious how people felt about the Feb LSAT? I had LR-RC-LG-RC, did anyone else? I left like the LR was hard, both RCs were pretty easy except the last passage was a bit iffy & LG was normal.

Feb was my 3rd attempt at the LSAT. Last June after studying about 6 months with the PowerScore bibles and online course and my score was an awful 143. I had a ton of tech issues with the proxy and this was before they had the link established to let them know about the proxy issues. I added Kahn academy to my programs and took it again in October, again a 143 but also consistent issues with the Proxy. My PT scores have always been around 150-157 until last week, I broke 160.

I started with 7Sage in Jan and took the test in Feb, the scores were released today and I am at a 145. This time I had a great proxy experience and felt better about the test but found myself struggling with time. I will take the LSAT again in June which is the last time I can take it before I get into Law School this year with the school nearby I want to attend. I can tell that 7Sage is strengthening my foundation and feel confident that I will do better in June but would 7like to know if other people are struggling like this? What did you find to help you get over your slump if you did?

I am not one that like to take PT's, I try to attend as many of the live classes as I can and I follow the curriculum, I try to practice test when I know I will have time to do it but I prefer to practice sections at a time. I'm not sure if that's something that I should start doing more often or not?

It drives me absolutely crazy that we can't see what we missed on the LSAT because I would like to know what I need to work on, taking the LSAT and taking a PT are not similar experiences for me, it's making me wonder if I am struggling worse than I am aware with test anxiety or something similar. My pt.'s are always higher scores and my GPA and performance in school doesn't match my test scores at all. I realize that LSAT and GPA are not similar but I feel like if I am capable at school I should be capable on the LSAT as well.

Just a heads up: I know I shouldn't have taken these tests so close together or before I was ready, that was not something I understood until coming to 7Sage. I am also a married stay at home mom and my husband is uber supportive but we just can't afford to add tutoring to the mix so I appreciate all the tutors that email me wanting to help or commenting on my comments but it's not an option at this time, as much as I know it would help and I wish we could afford it.

I need help how to approach these because I always get the answer wrong. For except strength questions am I looking for the weakest answer? and vice versa for weaken except questions? Thank you

I chose B, and then A, as I was unsure how this claim directly supported the main conclusion...

Hi Everyone! What LSAT prep test should I take after the diagnostic or does it matter? Thank you!!

On the 2007 prep test, I was unable to arrive at the correct conclusion for RC#13. I was confident that my answer was right and I even got it wrong during blind review. Even now, I’m unsure that I’d be able to deduce this quickly on a test. When I get to the RC section and begin doing drills, how can I study for this type of question? Are all Art, InfAP and Co questions similar?

Hello!

I keep seeing a lot of comments of people who think that the priority section under results refers to whether the question itself is considered to be high or low priority in general. I thought I would make a post to clarify this, in case it helps anyone.

When it says a question is high priority it just means that it is high priority for you specifically. Meaning that you should review the video explanation because you got the question wrong before and after blind review or that you didn't blind review a question you got wrong which makes the system assume that you were 100 percent certain about your wrong answer.

So don't freak out! You are not getting high priority questions wrong. The priority tag gets assigned and tailored to you specifically AFTER your responses have been submitted. There is no standard set of high vs low priority questions.

I hope this is helpful to someone ✨

I am trying to sign up for 7Sage but not sure if I should get live classes or not, does it work with your own pace? I’m on a bit time crunch I wonder if I should just do the regular without live classes? Very conflicted! Any help would be appreciated :) thank you!

Does anyone have an explanation for why the answer wouldn't be A? Thanks!

Does 7sage have a phone number. I tried emailing support a week in a half ago about the fee waiver program.

This is a Must be false question.

I have a difficult time making two different diagrams about the conditions.

[ Chelas and Stelma are required to leave their respective stations immediately to pursue any prisoner who attempts to escape from their sector. Furthermore, unless they are pursuing such a prisoner, Chelas and Stelma are forbiddened to leave their stations until their replacements have arrived. ]

My thought is 1. pursue any prisoner who attempts to escape -> C and S leave their sectors

2. ~forbbidened to leave stations until their replacements have arrived -> pursue prisoner

Can you help me to make right diagrams?

I am very confused as to what the flaw in the argument is. Could someone explain?

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

I don't understand why the answer choice is not A?

Am I the only one experiencing this? I was currently on introduction to lawgic ldoing practice questions of the groups but noticed the video hasn't appeared. i already cleared my data and im unsure what to do.

I am saying this because there are some terms that I dont know what the question means. Like am I supposed to know what a generalization, alternative explanation, or evidence is? Could someone please explain this. There was this one question in the AP lesson that talked about Crime and Media coverage. I chose A for the answer because the explanation was supporting the conclusion. However the actual answer was E which was an "Alternative Explanation" What does that mean?
