Blind Review on New Site

I am a bit confused on doing my blind review as I do the "You Try"s throughout the curriculum on the new site. It was a visible option on the previous site, and you had to certify you did the blind review before obtaining your results, but I do not see that option on the new site. However, when I press submit, it says I did not do the blind review. Am I missing the option to do so somewhere?

LR Stuck Between Two Answer Choices

I've been noticing a consistent problem during my LR practice. I usually am able to narrow the answer choices down to two, but I end up picking the wrong one. It's frustrating because I feel like I have that foundation to rule out the clearly wrong options, but I just can't seem to choose the correct one between the final two.

Has anyone else struggled with this? What strategies helped you and is there a way to train this skill specifically?

Any advice, drills, or thought processes you used would be SO SUPER appreciated!

Has anyone gone into an LSAT or PT not intending to get to the last 5 questions? Studying for 4 months and my PT scores are below where I'd like them to be -- taking August and October test. I'm able to get 90% accuracy if I'm 10-20 seconds over the question target time on average (difficulty level doesn't seem to make a difference).

I know it would be ideal to naturally increase speed with accuracy but that's not the world I'm living in this week. I would save enough time to make strategic "guesses" at the end, but I'm thinking I'd rather miss the 5 last questions vs 7-10 throughout because I'm freaked out trying to finish the section. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone done this?

Academic misconduct

So,

My professor has been letting me use his signature many times (including his son) and I thought it would be cool as long as I cc his email and now the school is accusing me of forging it. In order to get readmission, I was forced to accept the charge because the school had placed a hold on my student account.

Should I try to reopen it and attempt to get a warning(non-reportable) or "not responsible" instead of "Academic misconduct", since they violated my procedural rights to pursue a hearing or appeal?

After reviewing my case with many lawyers, they all agreed upon my position that they didn't not grant me with a meaningful opportunity to present my side of the story.

If I reopen the case, I'm not sure if saying, "I didn't know how the system works in America, as I'm an international student, and as long as I show my professor that I'd use his signature like previous cases, I thought I'd be fine" would sound legitimate to Americans

What should I do?

Should I give in and move forward or fight tooth and nail to downgrade it to a warning or "not responsible"

If I can't overturn this situation, I have to say good bye to T6 or even any T 14 or T20 school right?

If you're coming from the classic 7Sage…

Here’s a Q&A for you.

How can I find the old (classic) site?

Just type classic.7sage.com into your browser instead of 7sage.com. Note the “classic” at the front of the url.

How long will the classic site continue to work?

We plan to maintain the Classic site until at least 2026.

What’s the difference between the old site and the new site?

You're here, aren't you? Click around and find out! The headline is that the new site has a cleaner design, more explanations, better analytics, a ton of new features, and countless small improvements to help you reach your goal score faster. 

Can I transfer my subscription on the classic site to this site?

Yes! Head on over to our billing pagehttps://7sage.com/users/settings/billing. If you see a button to transfer your subscription, click it! If you see a button to reach out to student service… do that! ( We can't auto-transfer all subscriptions.)

If I transfer my subscription to this site, will I still have access to the classic site?

Yes! You will still have access to the classic site until you stop subscribing or until the end of 2025—whichever comes sooner.

Can you transfer my data (analytics, etc.) from the old site to this one?

Not yet, but we're working on it. The most important data is PrepTest data,  and you can already manually import those to new 7Sage. It takes about 4 minutes per manual PT import. Go here:

https://7sage.com/users/settings/practice/import/manual

In approximately 4-6 weeks (hoping for 4!), I expect that we'll have built a way to automatically import 3-digit PrepTest data from classic to new 7Sage. 

In another 4-6 weeks, we should have a way to automatic import of 3-digit drilling data from classic to new 7Sage.

Should I switch to this site?

If you’re just starting out or if you don’t have a lot of analytics on the old site, yes, you should definitely switch to this site.

If you have a ton of analytics on the classic site—say, more than two PrepTests worth, or more than 40 drills—you might want to stick to the classic site.

I have done 18 prep tests and I guess I did not realize that there were only a limited number available. I only have one left to do and since 7Sage reflects the prep tests that LawHub has I really have none left since the earlier tests I have used most the questions in drilling. Are there other resources that I can access full prep tests? My scores have been extremely volatile ranging from 163 to 155 with the RC sections as the biggest influence. I take the LSAT the 9th of this month and was hoping to try and gain more consistency in my scores.

Hi, I am looking for other people that score in the 170s to study with. I want to stay accountable and would like to work through the same sets of questions, then go over anything that gave us trouble. If you're interested, feel free to reach out or reply.

hitting a wall in improvement

Basically, I bought 7Sage after the June LSAT to try to score 170+ in Sept. I haven't really seen any score increases and while I understand that improvement gets harder the higher the score is, I'm a bit lost in terms of what else I could do beyond just drill more. At this point I'm just hoping to get lucky since my June score was in the 170 range they give lol. Any advice on how to break this wall?

I've done a few drills on other platforms before coming over to 7Sage and I was wondering if there was a way for me to view 7Sage's explanation of the question without having taken the test or PT? Is there a page that outlines all of their explanations of some sort? I feel like I remember something similar being on the old website, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for the help!

I tend to have a very high accuracy rate on main point questions whereas I often miss primary purpose ones. Even on the same stimulus, I can get the main point correct and the primary purpose wrong. I feel like the two question types test similar skills, so I'm not really sure why this keeps happening. Any insight would be much appreciated :)

Break between sections?

I'm getting all kinds of mixed information when I look this up, so I apologize if this is common knowledge I'm just missing somewhere. But when you take the test in-person, does section 2 start immediately after section 1? And the same for 3 and 4?

Basically, do you get 60 seconds to reset or do you just roll immediately through?

This makes a huge difference in how I prepare...

I felt like I did much better with RC before starting to train. My diagnostic in RC was -5 vs. between -8 and -10 now.

My LR is, on the whole, much much better than before I started studying, but my gains in score have been marginal because my RC has dropped off.

In studying for LR, I realized that reading/translation/repetition seemed to help me the most, and I'd love to tackle a similar strategy for RC, but just doing RC passages over and over with Low Res summaries isn't helping me a whole lot. Still missing one or two per passage that have to do with something super specific I glazed over on my readthrough. I feel like I struggle with balancing reading for detail and reading for structure/concepts -- it's often I get one or the other on a first read (all I have time for obviously).

Any tips for making RC improvement more manageable?

Hi all! I wanted to come on and share that my LSAT journey has not been linear but have been seeing slow improvement. For context, I took the Nov. 2023 LSAT with wishy-washy studying to get a 148. I cancelled that score and have been on and off studying since then. I have finally gotten up to the 160s with average PTs being in the high 150s. While I do not want to discount the progress I have made, I cannot discard the fact that my progress has been slow and slower than I would like it to be. I know this is a hard test, but I know that it can be learnable. I am going average -4 on LR and average -10 on RC. I just recently got to a 160 on my recent PT last week. LR feels naturally more intuitive compared to RC, as I find myself running out of time on RC. While, I recognize the patterns in RC and consider myself good at the big picture questions, I struggle with implied and detail oriented questions. I guess I am just looking for advice on how people have improved from this place and what helped them quickly get out of this slump. As my goal would be to hit the 170s in the next few months. Happy to share more info., if its helpful. Thanks!

Last week advice

It is exactly one week until I take my LSAT, any tips on how to go confidently into the exam? I am doing well but I am not sure what to do with this last week, keep studying? Chillax?

I know it's common for beginners to (mistakenly) think there are multiple correct answers to a question, but I just can't see how there's only one correct answer in this case. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Question: PT114.S2.Q9

Complete stimulus: During the three months before and the three months after a major earthquake in California, students at a college there happened to be keeping a record of their dreams. After experiencing the earthquake, half of the students reported dreaming about earthquakes. During the same six months, a group of college students in Ontario who had never experienced an earthquake also recorded their dreams. Almost none of the students in Ontario reported dreaming about earthquakes. So it is clear that experiencing an earthquake can cause people to dream about earthquakes.

Complete question stem: Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

Complete answer choices:

A: Before the California earthquake, no more of the students in California than of those in Ontario recorded dreams about earthquakes.

B: The students in California were members of a class studying dreams and dream recollection, but the students in Ontario were not.

C: Before they started keeping records of their dreams, many of the students in California had experienced at least one earthquake.

D: The students in Ontario reported having more dreams overall, per student, than the students in California did.

E: The students in Ontario who reported having dreams about earthquakes recorded the dreams as having occurred after the California earthquake.

Answer choice A is marked as correct, and answer choice D is marked as incorrect.

My reasoning: Answer choice D strengthens the argument by eliminating an alternate explanation: California students had more dreams about earthquakes because they have more dreams in general. Therefore, an earthquake occurring in California would not be the reason why half of the students reported having dreams about earthquakes.

Thanks for the help!

So I noticed I am starting to do well on the first two passages when a do a 4 passage 35 min RC drill (trying to get used to reading without fatiguing so it doesn't happen test day), but towards the middle passage i feel like i lose all comprehension of what I'm reading or it'll take me tons of time and then I still get them wrong. I have dyslexia (unfortunately I wasn't able to get a updated diagnosis before registration deadline), so reading typically takes me longer as is and burns me out quicker. If any of y'all have any tips or ideas to help me not bomb the middle-end of the RC sections I would be very grateful. Note- im averaging around 154, highest timed score 158, and blind reviewing around high 150s low 160s
