Hi - taking the LSAT for the second time in June, shooting for 170+ this time around. Need a study buddy to help hold me accountable! I am located in DFW but online works too! I am pretty flexible but I would like to meet at least 1-2 times a week. I work full time so it would have to be in the evening after 5pm or on the weekends.

Hi,

I am wondering if someone can help me understand LSAT cycles. I would like to give myself the opportunity to take the test 5 times if necessary and will be sitting for the upcoming April test. I am wondering when this cycle began and ends as I am aware you can only sit for the test 3 times over one cycle. Thanks!

Hello, this will be my first time taking the LSAT in June of 2023. I really don’t know where to start but I have the LSAT prep book and I am enrolled in a course. I would love study buddies so we can hold each other accountable and help each other. I have a set study schedule but would love to pencil in some time to meet over zoom, or Microsoft teams to help each other. Maybe even make a group chat to update each other on our progress. If anyone is interested please let me know! I’ll make a group me chat.

I’m also located on the east coast, so I’m using EST.

For whatever reason, logical reasoning sections are the bane of my existence in terms of LSAT prep. Dare I say, I sometimes actually enjoy working through logic games and reading comprehension sections? Perhaps. Depending on the passage and game, they seem to make me feel excited, interested, with a sense of fun. I don't feel like i'm doing work and my perception of time slows down. On the other hand, LR feels like a horrid chore that makes me feel sad, mundane, and sick to my stomach. Any tips?

Hey y'all,

I'm looking for 2 study partners to study together til the JUNE 2023 Test. In this group setting we'll meet weekly on an agreed time between us three and help each other with questions through a discussion post. We will hold each other accountable, push each other to the max and stay honest. The focus of this group will be LR and RC. I'm currently scoring in the low to mid 160s and looking for a jump to the high 160s. If you're around this range and can make this commitment for the next 3 months, comment down below and I will reach out ASAP to make this happen.

Side note: For anyone concerned about time zones, I'm located in the east coast.

Hi

I’ve tried the study buddy system and most people are v flaky. Lf a accountability and study partner, twice or three times a week. Scoring in the 150+ and wanna pass 160s.

Hi everyone,

I am preparing to take the April LSAT (and most likely the June and August LSATs as well) and am interested in possibly starting a study group. My PT scores are currently in the high 150s - low 160s. I am using 7sage for drilling and working with a private tutor. My best section is LG, and I am good with LR but not so good with RC. I am still in undergrad, and I also work, so the only time I would be able to meet would be every other week. If anyone is interested, please let me know!

Looking for about 3-5 people to study mostly PT/LR. Pretty good at LG (usually only missing 1 or 2 questions) so I can give some pointers here and there but I am really interested in LR since its my weakest section. I am currently using 7sage, lsatlab, a private tutor, and free resources on the demon. I applied last cycle so I can give some advice about admissions and what test day looks like. I also can give advice on getting free/ cheap studying resources, fee waivers, and testing accommodations since we are here to get all the benefits bb!

I work fulltime so Sunday afternoon study sessions are best for me but willing to be flexible.

Really would like nice, motivated, encouraging people so we are all comfortable holding each other accountable on our studys and goals! :)

Earth to 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 Monday, March 13th from 9:00-10:30pm ET.

Here's how it works:

Register for the Breakout no later than Sunday, March 12th.

Take PT54 Section 1 (based on 7Sage's numbering - should be an RC section) and Blind Review it, but DON'T look at the answers. I suggest you take it as a "Drill" rather than as a PrepTest! You can do this by going to the "Practice" tab and choosing "Drills," then selecting "Newer" PTs, selecting "Reading Comprehension," and scrolling to PT54 S1. You will have to individually add each passage to your drill, but hit "Create drill with 4 passages" at the bottom right when finished, and voila!

Log in to the Breakout Session at the appointed time. We will automatically place you in a group of 2-5 students with similar scores so you can review the section together.

At the end of the session, you can exchange emails and keep meeting if you enjoyed the group.

Hope to see you there! Register for the event using this link: https://7sage.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkd-ygrzsrGNTPl6Z68cQRnT0QU97zfQ5M

Incredibly excited after getting the results back from my February 2023 test. Lots of curveballs, but everything I learned through 7Sage after these past 4-5 months of study really came through for me. Much love, and peace out :)

Originally -7. After BR, -6.

HOWEVER, questions I flagged for review that I originally marked right, were wrong after BR. What does this mean? Should I trust my gut?

My LG scores are consistently weaker than my LR and RC scores, and LG improvement is, at this point, all I need to reach my goal score of 170+.

However, I have now taken all of the games (save for those sets that are in my few remaining ‘clean’ PTs), and am worried about diminishing returns on my LG drilling. It bears mentioning, however, that I do not score perfectly on any games that I re-do.

My plan is to try the ‘foolproof method’ of re-doing games until they’re perfect, but I still thought I would reach out if people have additional advice. What other strategies have people in my position (or a similar position) taken? Anyone have thoughts on taking games I’ve already seen with less than the recommended time, or even doing ‘unofficial’ games (i.e., those not from a PrepTest)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a way to filter the study schedule to actually fit the hours in and have it generate for those hours.

Say I can put only 14 hrs a week. Can I filter it by 14 hours and actually have the study schedule generate to accommodate only 14 hours a week. As it stands, I can put 14 hours, but there will be weeks with 18 hours and 20 hours.

Also, I want to remove all the tests, it's a bit overwhelming when looking at the study schedule and it shows 500+ hours.

How does the correct answer choice interact with the comparison to pharmaceutical drugs? If anything I would think this answer supports the position of the critic #help

For the correct answer choice, why does it matter if the trees used are or old or new since the answer is talking about the harm caused by the products they will be turned into? This is the reason I did not choose it #help

My name is Ken. I get around 169-170 on timed mock test. I am looking for students that I can tutor for free for me to learn better. I have an office at Songdo, Incheon, South Korea. My current occupation is a substitute teacher at Chadwick International School while working on a US teaching license. I can take clients who can come to Songdo, Incheon. I can also do it via Zoom. Please send me a message.

I can understand why (B) is correct - but not sure why (C) is wrong. I think I'm not understanding (C) correctly. What does it mean to "indicate the falsehood of the implications" of a hypothesis? Doesn't the author do so in the stimulus, by showing that predicting an invention according to the hypothesis necessarily entails inventing it (the implications), which would be self-contradictory? Is (C) wrong because self-contradiction ≠ falsehood? I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me an example of (C) since I'm not exactly sure I understand JY's example either.

Thanks in advance!

This was not a fun flaw question.

At its absolute most basic, the stimulus says:

Conclusion: Not X.

Premise: If we BELIEVED X -> Y.

The assumption here is subtle: Since not Y, not X.

But why on Earth would we make that jump based on the single premise we are given? Also, notice we are drawing a conclusion based on what would be true if we BELIEVED otherwise, not if the case it WERE otherwise.

Answers:

A. A true belief (X) can have bad consequences (maybe, not Y). In other words, the author is failing to consider the possibility that X -> not Y. If this is true, the argument doesn´t work.

B. The author establishes one claim to not be true, but where is the other???

C. Irrelevant, there are no motives mentioned.

D. No implication that the most negative outcome must occur.

E. There is no group of individuals being compared to another.

I had mapped it as:

/RDW - /Alleviate

- IEI -> RTV

w/ the contra, i sort of see why B is correct:

[ Nat. Responsibility -> /RTV -> /IEI -> RDW ]

Does that make sense?

But why wouldn't E be correct? Is it that the idea of alleviating conditions of injustice are not the same thing as creating conditions of economic justice?

In the lesson about and/or sufficiency splits, JY says we split the 'or'. But in another lesson we learn that two sufficient conditions pointing to one necessary is an invalid argument. So i'm confused why it's okay to split the 'or' sufficiency. Can someone please dumb that down for me?

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

I have started with the foundation lesson and I am now doing the introduction to arguments. When studying for the LSAT using 7 sage the way I am tackling it, is by watching, taking notes from the videos and lessons, and reviewing them. Is that the right way to go about it?

Do you like to read about unknown facts? For example, about nature/animals? I think I'm the only one

I saw a post on here where we do a chosen section from a PT, register for the study group, and then 7Sage puts us in a group with other people who did the chosen section. However, I can't find that post anymore. Does anyone know how I can find it so I can register? Thanks.

Hello, I’m aiming for the April LSAT i’ve mostly been drilling individual sections in Feb to get over my anxiety and slump from January. Now I feel like I’m mentally ready to take the PTs and plan to start from the 60s onwards. Do you guys recommend using the ‘modern’ format where its just 3 sections or stick to the 4 sections that has 2 LRs?

I’m a bit torn since I know only 3 sections are actually graded but i feel like stamina-wise my brain should be able to do 4 sections due to the experimental.

So far I’ve been working down the syllabus starting with the foundations, then LR, which I am currently on, followed by LG, and lastly RC.

I’ve been using the drill feature for MC/MP questions, but I’m not sure if I should be doing a lot of these drills directly after the lesson, as i’ve been doing, or if it would be better if I held off on the drills until I start taking timed PTs , so I could then have clean questions to practice with after identifying my weaknesses.
