Could someone explain to me why answer E is not correct? I am having trouble understanding why, thanks y'all!

Hi everyone! I have completed the 7sage curriculum and have been drilling for a little over 2 weeks, but I am still averaging -9 on all my LR sections. I have been studying for the LSAT since May 1st and the only other resource I have used is The LSAT Trainer. I would like to get my hands on The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy but I cannot find it anywhere online. I plan to take my LSAT in September and my goal score is 165.

In terms of question types, I struggle with MBT, weakening, and necessary assumptions. I believe that I need to review the foundations of conditional logic but the core curriculum lessons aren't really helping. If anyone could briefly explain with an example how conditional logic works that would be greatly appreciated!

It is becoming increasingly frustrating not seeing results and I was wondering if anyone had any external resources or tips on how to finally break through in my studies. I would also appreciate any advice on how to stay focused throughout an entire test without getting sidetracked as I find myself taking substantially longer on questions near the end of a section.

Just as the title says, I was wondering if anyone has any tips in regards to noting what you would categorize as context and what you would categorize as premise. I feel like there is a blurred line from my understanding.

I'm a relatively high-scoring pretest taker (average score 174.7 on my 10 most recent preptests), but it feels like I sometimes struggle with basic structure questions. Case in point, for PT 105 S3 Q4 I selected answer choice A, rather than the correct answer E. After going back and reviewing the question, I can see how E would make sense, but in the moment I seem to find such questions difficult. This seems to carry over to other basic structure questions (such as PT108, S1, Q4). Does anyone have any tips on avoiding structural question pitfalls?

Hello,

I began studying for the LSAT about 5 weeks ago. I took a practice test back in October on a different site and scored a 151 with logic games.

I just finished the 7Sage curriculum so I took a timed PrepTest yesterday and got a 161. My goal score is 170 or more, and I just feel really discouraged with scoring a 161 after studying all the curriculum. Is it reasonable to expect a 170 by the August LSAT dates, or should I reconsider my goal score and or test date.

I am just not sure how much improvement to expect just by drills and PrepTests. Thank you!

hi! for those who have had accommodation approved - I just received a letter stating I am approved for my accommodations, do I have to do anything else? are they automatically applied to my current registrations? thank you in advance!

I've been studying for the LSAT for about a month now, am currently testing around 170, and shooting for 175; I'm looking for a small group, also aiming for 170+ scores, to meet with regularly online.

Anyone in Miami who wants to study together?

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a study group in Beaumont or Houston, Texas areas. I am planning to take the LSAT in September or October. I can study in the Beaumont/SE Texas area on weekdays and Houston (preferably UH) on the weekends. Let me know if you are interested so we can create a group with the goal of keeping each other accountable as well as study.

Anyone in sarasota want to study together?

I'm not sure what to do, I am planning on taking the September LSAT but I'm not sure ill be able to gauge how ready I am by the registration date. I would do the October LSAT but then I wont be able to see my score before the November registration deadline if I need to take it again. Maybe im not understanding how it works etc. but im just not sure if I should take it in october and then register for november wihtout knowing my score in case i didnt get the score i wanted or register for september but I wont know for certain how ready I am by the time we have to register

I'm scheduled to take my first test in August and am about 7 points away from my ideal score. My RC is pretty strong and I'm confident that won't weigh me down. But LR is a bit tricky for me, specifically the 4/5 difficulty questions. Obviously that makes sense, they're supposed to be the hardest ones. But I need to start getting more of them right if I want to break through to my target score. Any advice on how to get better at those LR questions?

Heads up, everyone! Starting July 1, LawHub Advantage will be increasing the cost of their annual subscription by $5. It's going from $115/year to $120/year.

If you're planning to re-up your LawHub Advantage subscription and want to save the $5, make sure to renew before July 1 at https://www.lsac.org/lawhub. Remember, you can get LawHub Advantage for free (and 7Sage for $1!) if you qualify for an LSAC fee waiver.

I'm taking the August exam, which includes practicing with sections of LR, Unscored LR, and RC. However, I consistently perform better on the scored LR sections than the unscored ones. As a result, my overall practice scores are lower. I feel like the way they write questions for the unscored sections isn't helpful for preparing or estimating how well we'll do on the actual exam in August. Anyone else feeling like this?

If you qualify for accommodations you can request to have the experimental section removed. I had some great, beneficial accommodations, but wasn't aware this is even a thing. Wish someone would've told me, so grabbing some karma points hopefully and passing this along. Also, @7sage, you should add 'accommodations' as a discussion topic.

One of the things I like to is read random things to practice the foundational lessons since the LSAT questions are a finite resource. I try to do this to train my brain to read as if I was reading a stim from the LR section or a passage from RC. I also try to do the translate that was recommend to put things into ones owns words to better understand what one read,

Would anyone be interested in creating a reading club to practice together? We could share articles or reading material. See what we missed, what works for others or what we can improve upon. Although I would like to mostly focus on non-LSAT reading material, I would not be opposed to every now and then doing some LR or RC to see how we are progressing.

A while ago I created a discord server but it has not been active in a long time. Although, I gave admin access to someone else who is keen to have a general study group. While they do have admin access, I am not sure if they want to be part of this but I will ask them.

Hey everyone! I am new to 7Sage and I just got the subscription after reading the Powerscore bibles. I am wondering how those of you who have subscribed to live handle studying and attending the classes. I am struggling with balancing which sessions to attend and finding the time to practice drills on my own. Do you attend most of the sessions or do you pick and chose? For me, there is a huge fear of FOMO and the live classes do help with motivation and getting going but I am on PDT time and some of the classes are crazy early at 6am. What do you all do? Also is it worth doing the 4 star and 5 star question sessions or just building up the skills in 1-3 first before even attending those days?

Hello everyone,

I recently learned that if you qualify for accommodations, it might be possible to request the removal of the experimental section from an exam.

Does anyone know how to make this request? Who should you contact, and do you need to specify the removal of the experimental section directly?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I am reviewing my mistakes on Prep Test 108, and I noticed that there are no Explanations for sec 4. Seems strange since there were explanations for section 1 which was ungraded. In particular I'm looking for an explanation on question 26. Thank you!

I have a question regarding the drilling method that I should be using (Specifically for LR Q's).

-Should I be using the "Drilling" sections in the CC found after each LR question type in order to practice to improve on each of those question types?

-Would doing so too often cause me to lose valuable resources that I would gain from taking the full prep tests?

I want to improve on the question types that I am struggling with, especially the harder questions in those subsections, but don't want to use up all of the material from the prep tests.

If you have any advice on how to drill properly and efficiently your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! How would I go about printing drill sets/ prep tests? Thanks!

I just want to confirm my understanding on this.

Are these true?

If sufficient fails then no valid conclusions about the necessary condition, but if sufficient satisfied or affirmed then it triggers necessary, hence we can have a valid conclusion.

If necessary fails then it would trigger the sufficient, hence we can have a valid conclusion, but if necessary satisfied or affirmed then no valid conclusion.

and also whats the best way to memorize this? lol

Lets buckle down and start studying 3-5 hrs a day.

DM me!! Let's get a little group started to keep eachother accountable.

I'm averaging in the low to mid 170s and am aiming for a 17High. Any active groups out there doing review / study sessions?
