Hi, so to give a little background.
I've been studying for about two months going from 151 diagnostic to 164 currently. I'm proud of my progress with RC being my best naturally and I've seen the most gains in LG, though I definitely need to improve there as well. LR has been my toughest opponent and probably what I've spent the most time on. I currently sit at around -4 to -7, progressing from an initial -10. The biggest thing I see is my problem accuracy is not very much of a pattern. My wrong questions are always different types and another thing is I see I often get like 3-4 of my wrong answers in a row. I was looking for any tips to address improvement at this current performance point in LR. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank You!
Not too sure if I'm the only one that thinks there should be an option to add titles to drills. I often make drills specific to a question type or game type and it would be so easy and helpful having the ability to title my drills so when I go back and redo them.

Can someone help with this question!
Hello,
I'm coming on here to ask how often should we be taking prep tests? Should they be taken after learnign the material from each section as a whole, or every subsection? How about drilling? What's a good schedule like?
Can someone please explain why C is correct?
+) EDIT: problem solved
Leaving this here for anyone with the same issue - just allow all the site settings for 7sage.com. This worked for me.
Hi, I have a problem accessing the explanation video for P1 / LG / G1 (But I assume it'll be the same with all other content.) I use Chrome and there are no internet issues.
What happens is I hear the audio, and I see the blue mouse pointer going around the screen, but no visuals.
Referring to one of the discussions here I have tried changing the Video Player settings via my profile - tried both Basic and Classic - the video keeps loading, and nothing happens.
Any help here? Would be much appreciated.
I keep bombing at LR. No matter which question types I drill, I keep getting half or more than half wrong. I write in the Blind Review / Wrong Answer Journal. I blind review each question. But even in blind review I still get the question wrong! What is discouraging is seeing the stats on Curve column an seeing that no one or a small percentage of people got the same answer choice as I did. Then looking at the scorers on the same Curve column, I see its a question that was in the 130s to 140s (an "easy" question), which makes it more discouraging. I have been taking my time, not using the stop clock, and STILL get so many wrong!
My strength is in LG, which for every game, I get -0 to -1 wrong, both timed and un-timed. A bit of background: I have some computer coding skills under my belt, so LG reminds me a lot of when I would create code in Python and Javascript. I prefer to see logic as "If X, then Y" terminology as it is easier for me to understand the flow. Is there a way I can use my LG brain to work for me in LR?
I have noticed a peculiar trend where the LR questions that I tend to miss most are not the ones that I flag but instead the random other ones. I realized that I almost never miss the questions I flag but I miss the ones that I don't flag.
Hi everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone who has experience with LSAC's CAS Service knows if whether before or after you pay for it you can upload your Personal Statements and Addendums?
I am taking the Oct and Nov LSAT but I haven't taken a practice test in a month. I keep planning on taking them but then I get scared seeing if my score won't increase. Does anyone else go through this or know how to overcome it? I know I have to take them in order to improve my score but I am scared to see no improvement after another month of studying and doing better on my drills.
Hi all,
If you're interested in joining a study group where all we do is co-work on zoom, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!
This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support.
If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

I don't understand why A was the correct answer choice, can someone explain the reasoning? Thank you
I usually do well on Logical reasoning from questions 1 to 15 but I seem to consistently get the answer wrong , for some reason its like the same technique I use on these questions do not work the same after question 15, is there any advice on how to improve specifically on Logical Reasoning questions after 15?
Hi! Is there a way on the schedule generator that you can prioritize one section over the others?
Does anyone know if being on your college's Honor Council is generally considered a strong extracurricular? I've been wondering this for a while, but I haven't found any information about it online. I had a leadership position on W&M's Honor Council, and I was hoping that would stand out a bit on my applications.
Does anyone know what order to watch the recordings of the live class videos?
I’m overwhelmed by the number of videos in the video library and have no idea where to begin.
Hi peeps
I created a discord server for more LSAT study peeps, no matter the score. We don't gatekeep here. It's Legally Blonde themed, and I think it'll be a big help! Here's what I have to offer:
Lots of materials, videos, and resources all in one channel for easy readability
Daily drilling with practice questions
Future study group sessions
Virtual study rooms along with a study bot that can help you create an organized task list.
A bot that can also uplift you and give you some positive vibes when you need to save your sanity.
A group of other people just like you going through the same mental war hoping to get into law school.
A person who truly cares and worked 7 and a half hours on this place because she genuinely wants you to do your best :')

I've been reading some suggestions to simulate a modern test for the practice tests, and then "take an extra section" from an older test to simulate how the testing would feel day of. But how do you do this?
Do you make a drill with it limited to "Tags and Preptests" then only check off 1 prep test and then check off all the item tags? What do you do then with the drill difficulty slider? Wouldn't the drill difficulty slider not be in effect if you do this because you're just taking all the questions from a section so you can't control the difficulty?
As I master and complete a section, how do I ensure that I do not forget the information that I have learned as I move from section to section?
I'm so happy hard work pays off!
How do you guys take notes for 7Sage? I do have a wrong answer journal that I use when BR'ing drills, but besides that how do you guys take notes for the lectures? I've kind've just been going through and listening, but dont want to not soak anything in by just watching the videos. Any tips would help!
Hi,
I'm feeling really discouraged right now, so I'd appreciate some encouragement. Last year I studied for the LSAT on and off during undergrad and got 2 poor scores 148 and 149. I took the tests out of desperation not to fall behind. (I know, not wise.) I decided to wait a cycle, and I have been studying full time for the last several months. I have made my way through all of the Powerscore books, and I've been drilling to an obsessive level. I got my PTs to the 152-158 range, and decided to shoot for the moon. I took the LSAT today, and I ran into a game with wording that I hadn't seen before. I completely shut down. Tilted my way through the entire test. My mind went blank. I wouldn't be surprised if I got between a 150-152. I've now taken the test 3 times, and I've been studying full time. My partner has left me recently, and I feel like I'm at a really low point.
My averages are
RC:-11
LR: -10
LG: -5
I'm pretty bummed.

Hi! Does anyone know how to use the coda school tracker with the 2023 rankings put out by world news, or are they measured by several metrics? Thanks!
Hey y'all, so I know this is a stupid question, but can anyone explain to me what it means for something to be a sufficient condition? I understand it practically in using Lawgic to work through LR questions, but for some reason I can't explain it clearly with words. Thank you in advance!!!
