Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone has thought of this strategy or is doing this. Lately Ive just been focusing on Logic games. Since I'm retaking the test in April, I figured I'm better off hitting one section hard instead of trying to improve on the test as a whole. As you may already figured out the LSAT doesn't give you an increase in points right away instead you have to reach a boiling point of improvement until it translates into actual score increases. What do you all think of this?

I do not want to do a full LR section when studying. I am already alternating between doing a full section of RC/LG M-Thurs, Friday doing a full LR section, and want to only do half a LR section after doing a full RC or LG section. My study schedule is m/wed full RC section with half LR, tues/thurs full LG with half LR, Friday full LR.

Can anyone show me how to select only 12-13 problems of LR, or if this is even possible? Thanks in advance!

Hi all!!

I am gearing up to take the LSAT in September, but am wondering if anyone has had (or will have) accommodations on the LSAT? I am diagnosed dyslexic and I feel like I'm out of gas and out of drive with how much I sometimes struggle with comprehension, especially under stress (though this will NOT stop me, I am DETERMINED to keep going, even if it takes a little more time than others to get the score I want!! While my dyslexia can be challenging, it will not be the reason I don't pursue my dreams).

I was looking at the listed accommodations and feel extreme relief seeing that you can ask for reading out loud (this is very crucial for me) / extended time__ with proper documentation. So, I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through the process? Or hey, even has study tips if you're willing/comfortable to share!

Thanks so much

Hello everyone! This thread doesn't really have anything to do with the test haha. I just wanted to share that a lot of the time when I come on websites like 7sage & TLS, I get a bit anxious especially if I'm not having a very good studying day myself or if I'm just not in a confident mood. One of my friends taking the MCAT began crying after reading a forum on Student Doctor Network and having a stressed day. Haha so I'm guessing certain reactions to sites like these is somewhat common.

SO, I wanted to start a thread learning more about ya'll besides law school stuff since I've been on 7sage for over a year now and don't know much about anyone besides their ballpark PT score and personal statement glimpses...

Anyways, I'm 21 years old. I just graduated in the class of 2017 and I live in nyc. When I'm not studying, I like to read. I'm really into feminism and critical theory regarding gender studies and sociology. I also enjoy reading the New Yorker. I spend three days a week at the gym and I'm obsessed with skincare. Haha like essential oils and moisturizing creams. Sephora is like a sanctuary to me. I'm also a huge film junkie! I minored in film studies. I mostly love foreign films and avantgarde/experimental movies! English is my native language but I can also speak Mandarin-Chinese and have been studying/learning French alongside my LSAT studying.

Finally, if anyone would wanna respond introducing themselves (though I understand if you'd like to remain anonymous) and their interests and etc, I would really love that!!!! (3 And also tell me what your favorite movie is!! Mine is Ghost World dir. Terry Zwigoff.(/p)

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!

I have a question about RC. When starting the RC section of the LSAT, is it a smart strategy to glance at the number of questions per passage and then dive in first with the one that offers the most points with the most questions? For example, I just did a PT and I usually just go straight through beginning with passage one then onwards. Passage one only had 5 questions, while passage four had 8 questions. To me, it would have made more sense to start with the last passage for two reasons: 1) I’m the freshest and most alert and 2) I have the opportunity to score 8 points. As it was, I ran out of time and end up having to guess on several of the last questions. Thoughts??

I was wondering for the recent LSAT is the experimental sections last or they can be any of the four sections? #help

Hi Everybody,

I am about to finish my undergrad in June, but I have a dilemma in figuring out what to do right now. Originally, I was thinking about taking January Lsat and apply with a higher score. However, I learned the news of my father passed away over the break, which made me unable to prepare for the test and I had to withdraw. My currents stats are (GPA: 3.95 LSAT: 163). I only applied to my safety schools (UC Hastings and university of San Diego) last year. Hastings admitted me and gave me 60,000$. I am reluctant to go to Hastings, because I was pretty much set on going to a T14 school. I also overheard some bad news about Hastings that big law firms do not recruit that many students from there. My mother and my advisor at my undergrad all told me to go to Hastings and apply to more schools at the end of this cycle. They say that which schools you go to do not really matter for your future employment if you can be on top of the class, but I do not know if that is the case for law schools.

I was wondering whether I should apply to more schools at the very end of this cycle or wait for the next one when I can get better lsat score? Should I just go to Hastings or not? How difficult is it to transfer out of Hastings?

Thank you!

I know mine is not a unique problem, but I am wondering if anyone has advice. When I have the time to slowly go through each question, I have great accuracy in pretty much all four sections. However, especially in the LR sections, I am finding the time pressure is causing me to miss important details and trying to move quickly results in sloppy decision making. I know practice helps, but I continue to struggle when under pressure. Does anyone have any tips for overcoming this?

How do I access any LG by a certain PT??

#ADMIN HELP

Does anybody have all of the flaw questions that has circular reasoning as a correct answer choice?

I answered (C): I thought this would be right because it was the statement that was most backed up by what is in the stimulus.

The right answer is (E):I was battling between C and E, but I didn't pick E because it seemed like a statement although true, the stimulus was not supporting it directly.

Can someone explain why E is correct and why C is wrong? I feel like I am overthinking this.

Is the LSAT still the flex version for 2023? Is it 4 sections, 3 scored and one experimental? So out of 77 instead of 100?

I am quite confused as to why 14c is wrong. I was going back and forth between A and C and i am not able to figure out how C is wrong! Pls help

Hey yall! I need a parallel reasoning expert to explain to me why C is the correct answer and not E.

Thank you!

Stimulus says: Manners are necessarily social (i.e. manners require a social element). Morals are not necessarily social (i.e. morals do not require a social element). Rules of etiquette do not apply to situations with morals or manners alone.

Things I noted upon reading:

Most strongly supported?

A: You can be immoral without causing harm. (i.e. you can not be moral in a case that is not social). Yep, this fits with #3 above.

B: An immoral act is never a violation of etiquette. This could be false if the situation also involved manners, so we can´t say it is supported.

C: Morality applies only when one is alone. I think you´d only choose this if you were hella confused.

D.: It is more important... I stopped reading right there and knew this was wrong. There is no comparison being made in the stimulus.

E: A social situation will never have anything to do with morality. Clearly wrong based on #2 and #3 described above.

just another thank you seven sage post!! never thought I would get to make one of these lol. I've seen so many of these posts and the only part of them that discouraged me from time to time was when people mentioned their crazy score increases yet the score they were comparing their official score to was their diagnostic test. I scored a 147 on my official first LSAT after already having exposure to/studying for the test. I think it is important to mention that it is fully possible to make SIGNIFICANT gains even if you have yet to see them after a few months of studying! Be patient with yourself :) patience was something I lacked most days!!

Hi there, I'm reviewed an old LR questions (PT24 S3 Q10) and this particular problem introduced subsets into the mapping. I have come across these problems in the past and never apply the subset. Anyone know if there is a core curriculum lesson or article/post on this matter that's reliable?

My issue for this particular question, is that I wrote S ->/MB while JY wrote it as /MBs. I have looked at other LSAT resource forums and they solve it in the same manner as I do.

It looks as if the 7Sage study schedule includes the prep tests in the hourly commitment. Although, without them it looks as if it is a less daunting endeavor given the number of hours needed to study is almost cut in half. I wanted to ask if the actual material is all 500+ hours or are we only truly learning in the "core curriculum" portion of the study schedule?

On the conditional indicator drill made by the student, the logical indicator "will" appear and the rule say's it indicates a necessary term.

"Will" however, is not on the "4 Translation Group Cheatsheet". It also confuses me because on the basic translation group 2 flashcards an example is "only a GPS will reveal where you are" .... the answer indicates that in lawgic it reads:

a --> GPS and /GPS --> /a.

I do realize that the LI "only" is also in that sentence, however the term "will" is now tripping me up and I do not know to include it in my Group 2 Logical Indicator or not. Please help! :)

I've been studying around 5-6 hours every day for about a month now, and I'm scheduled to take the exam in April (my 3rd attempt overall). However, I'm currently stuck in a slump where I feel super unmotivated since my score's been plateauing in the low 160s, which is around what my result was on my most recent real test, and I really want to break into the 170s. Whenever I take PTs, my best and worst section is constantly changing - for example, I'll get -7 on one RC and then -3 on another, and the same goes for LR. With LG, I'll get -0/-1 on drills, but on practice tests, I almost never do that well. I feel like I need to drastically overhaul my studying methods because right now, nothing seems to be working, but I don't know where to start. Tutoring is out of the question since I'm not looking to spend any more money, so any advice on how to continue studying on my own is greatly appreciated!

Has anyone had a similar issue?

The particular issue I'm having is that the summary of the AC's correct and incorrect under the Drill Sets "Review Results" is not matching what is shown in the individual explanations. For example, I just completed four logic games from PT 31. As I'm in the process of FPing, I'm not always BRing directly after, I sometimes show results immediately under timed conditions to see what was correct and incorrect. I got four incorrect of the thirty five, three from one particular game and one from another. Specifically, PT 31, S1, G2 (Music store sells ten CD's), the results from the Drill Set say I got 7, 8, and 13 incorrect. When I go to watch the explanation, it now says 7, 8, 9, 12 were incorrect, with 13 having changed to correct. When I go over to the right of the AC's and hover over the wheel showing previous ACs with the selected AC and the corresponding date, it's giving me the incorrect date's AC. This is just becoming a slight challenge as I'm starting to notice a pattern where the AC's are becoming convoluted with the previous attempt. I'm using Safari on macOS Monterey 12.6.3
