Is anybody else way over time on there "set up target time" and way ahead on the "questions target time"? I feel like I'm alway about 3 minutes behind on the setup and 3-4 mins ahead on questions. Any advice to speed up my set up? I don't feel like I'm making an unreasonable amount of deductions. I feel like sometimes it just takes me a second to understand the game.

Hello! Does someone have some insight on this problem?

I selected E. fails to consider that the individuals judging and disagreeing about works of art may be experts in making such judgements.

I chose this because it demonstrates an "objective" or at least standardized professional manner of reviewing art.

The correct answer is D. fails to consider that people who disagree about the artistic value of a given painting may be incorrectly applying the same evaluation criteria to that painting

Journalists often claim that their investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society by forcing the powerful to conform to the same standards of conduct as the less powerful. In reality, however, the tactic is detrimental to society. It makes public figures more concerned with mere appearances, and makes everyone else cynical about the character of their leaders.

The claim that journalistic investigation of the private lives of political leaders is an effort to improve society plays which one of the following roles in the argument?

I chose (A) It is a claim that the argument attempts to refute. However, the answer was (B) It mentions a justification that is sometimes offered for a practice that, the argument concludes, has undesirable consequences.

I think I understand why (A) is not the correct answer, but I am not entirely sure why. To my understanding, the paragraph can be split into 2 parts: one side states a claim that justifies investigating the private lives of political leaders, and the

other states the bad consequences. The second part does not outright refute what the Journalists are saying, so (A) cannot be the right answer.

Does my train of thought makes sense? And does anyone have any tricks/guidance on how to avoid making the same mistake in the future? All help is appreciated.

Hello everyone I am new here and just starting my LSAT journey and plan on taking the September exam. I'm trying to customize a study schedule to guide me as I am completely lost on what my daily studying should consist of. I tried to put my study end date to August 31st with today as a start date for 30 hours a week, but it either changes my end date to May 31st or changes my hours from 30 to 10 every time I try to submit. Would anyone know why this may be?

I have never sat for the real exam before and really can't decide whether to take June or August. I just took 4 section PrepTest 42, and got a 168 actual with 176 on Blind Review. This is right around where my last 2 prep tests have been.

The breakdown was:

-4 on LG (I didn't get to the fourth game).

-3 on LR (felt good)

-1 on RC

-6 on LR (completely lost focus, spent 3+ minutes on some questions, and didn't make it to several questions)

7sagers, please help – what do you recommend? I'm not sure if I should cut my losses on LG and drop it and just study LR and RC for the August test, or if it's realistic to get to -0 between now and June. I will have much more time to study come summer.

Do I sign up for June? If so, what course of study do you recommend? My goal score is 170 minimum. I suspect I'll have to retake in August no matter what... My dream is an HLS score. Applying this coming fall.

I’m trying to study for the June LSAT (the last one with logic games) and I don’t know why, but my last two practice tests have been awful. A couple of weeks ago I was scoring decently and showing improvement, but I couldn’t even finish the last couple of tests. Yesterday I got so overwhelmed halfway through the first section that I threw in the towel, and today I made it through 3 sections but quit because I was literally shaking and couldn’t string two thoughts together. This has never happened before with any of the half-dozen practice tests I've done, so I was hoping that someone knew what was going on? Two weeks ago I was fine, but now I feel like my brain is moving at half its normal pace and the easiest logic/reasoning is beyond me.

Hey guys! So for reference, I took the LSAT the first time last November without much studying (I work full-time and am in school) and got a 159. Most of my PTs last year were in 156-159 range, with highest being 163 on 93. Well, I just finished the CCv1 yesterday, and took a PT this morning (60) and got a 165 before BR. My goal is to get a 169 or higher on my test in June. I missed 2 on one LR and 4 on the other, with -5 on games (game 3 was AWFUL) and -7 on RC bc I ran out of time for last two passages. Do you think I can improve to a 169 or higher in two months??

Hello! The Content Team at 7Sage has been teaching the new version of our RC curriculum. You can find the archives here. Just search for any RC class that Albert, Kevin, or I've taught.

One request we got during class was to share the flowchart that we used. So here it is!

Feeling discouraged and frustrated, but I know this is a hard test and meant to play with you. My biggest area of struggle was always LR (and still is). I'm still pretty new here, and since starting 7sage I thought I was finally starting to grasp the concepts and tricks to handle LR questions. I took my first preptest to see how I'd do, and got a 139. I know I am able to do much better, but I dont know what I'm doing wrong, if im second guessing myself or simply overthinking each question. Any tips on how to handle LR? Anyone else deal with the same issue? Will I be able to master LR by the time my August LSAT comes around?

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official April 2024 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the April 2024 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, April 16th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  • The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  • Good luck to everyone taking the April 2024 LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the April 2024 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Hello, It's been nearly a decade since I graduated from college. Despite having a low GPA and LSAT scores for law school, I've gained over 10 years of experience in the risk management field at financial industry. I am now considering applying to part-time law schools to explore new opportunities. Currently, I am preparing to take the April LSAT, with plans for another attempt in June before any changes take effect in the August LSAT.

    Should try applying this year or next year?

    Hello! I am planning on taking the LSAT in August. Does anyone want to study together or begin a study group chat? I work full-time, so my best availability is evenings and weekends.

    Could anyone please tell me if/when they are going to announce the August 2024 testing dates for International test-takers? I go to university in the US so I need to know so I can coordinate my flight plans if needed.
