Did anyone attend Powerscore's webinar last night? They gave specific topics to study for RC, which blew my mind. How accurate are they on that? For example, they said to have a general idea who Ansel Adams is. I asked how they know this stuff in the chat and was told by other attendees not to ask questions lol.

I'm assuming this isn't new news to a lot of people, but it was to me, that LSAC is introducing a slightly new wording to LG. "Which of the following could be true, but is not necessarily true." Recent test takers in attendance confirmed they saw it on their tests. Which isn't that crazy or difficult, but I like having a heads up so I won't be caught off guard if I see it in January.

It seems like the most highly anticipated info they shared was which tests could be reused. They saved that slide for last and seemed like a lot of build up, but I don't get it. If it's an undisclosed test anyway, how is that useful or groundbreaking info? And LSAC keeps track of which tests each individual has seen, so it's fully guaranteed you won't get a duplicate.

Would love to hear anyone's thoughts who attended!

Hi everyone! Live class instructor Julia here. I have a few adjustments to share with you guys when it comes to the live class schedule through December.

First, we will be launching a series of 4-week classes through December! For a limited time, join these 7Sage instructors in hyper analysis into the following topics:

Miscellaneous Magic (LG) with Bailey, on Tuesdays from 3:45-4:45pm EST.

Building Bridges (LR) with Bailey, on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:45-5:45pm EST.

Exploring Assumptions with Alex, on select Wednesdays from 4:15-5:15 EST.

A new permanent class is Chris's Office Hour on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00pm and Henry's Logical Reasoning Analysis from 12:00-1:30pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.

There are also a few schedule adjustments (for the coming week only):

Aastha's Reading Mastery and LR Hacks class will occur on Friday, December 9th between 6:00 and 8:15pm EST.

Chris's No Stupid Questions class will occur on Monday, December 5th from 3:30-4:30pm.

Phew! That's a whole slew of changes. As I mentioned in my classes this week, we are always looking to add classes based on what you guys want to see. If you have any suggestions for an LSAT topic you'd like to see go ahead and comment below!

Hi guys I'm in a rut. My Last 7 exams were 169/169/174/172/170/171/169. Wanted to know if anybody has been stuck in this range before and have gotten out of it. If yes what were some things that you did that allowed to you get out of this range and get consistently into the upper echelon of the score range?

154 to 167!

Thank you 7sage!! This platform meant so much throughout my exam preparation. It's the only service I used and found it so incredibly helpful.

Hello everyone!

I am writing this post for the first time and I am hoping to get some insight. I am stuck in the 159-161 score range I have gotten a 163 on my second last PT but I did pt 80 right now and got a 159. Super sad. I have been studying for months now and my scores per section vary quite a bit sometimes I manage to go -3 on LR but then RC ends up being difficult and that tanks my score. I am hoping to get around a 164-166 and I am registered for the January exam. I feel pretty good with logic games and its my favorite section I typically go around -2 or 3 but trying to bring it to a 0. I also noticed for some reason i do perfect on all grouping games ang get one or two wrong on the easy level 1 difficulty sequencing game but during br i get it all right? any tips are appreciated pls!!

Hello all,

I took the LSAT in October 2022 and didn't do nearly as well as I was hoping. I have made the conscious decision to take the LSAT at a later date so I am not only fully prepared but also have many options to apply to more competitive schools. If anyone is interested, I would love to create a study group. Anyone interested?

grammar / linguistics

In the webinar below (which is awesome btw), there is a discussion around the 49 minute mark that talks about how grammar and language is what adds incremental difficulty to very hard LR questions, not logic. That definitely resonated with me. Most of the questions that take me a long time are because the sentences are convoluted and take a long time to parse out or there is some conditional logic that is hard to figure out.

I'm really starting to notice that sentence structure and word usage are at the heart of conditional logic, especially for the more complicated questions where you can't use the simple group translations in a mechanistic way, and you have to understand language in a deeper way (ie certain words in a certain indicator group are not being used as a logical indicator in that sentence and should be ignored).

Has anyone else worked to improve on this and have any suggestions on resources? I'm not sure exactly what the right book is... it's sort of at the intersection of grammar and linguistics. I literally typed that into the amazon store and bought a book called Advanced English Grammar: A Linguistic Approach but if anyone has a more intelligent recommendation on how to go about it I'm all ears :)

Hi, so I finished the core curriculum and just did PT 36 time and in test day conditions. I usually do pretty well in practice with getting just 2-5 wrong. Today, however, I scored a 146.

During the test, I could hear my brother getting ready for work and my mom taking her lunch break. Its like the anxiety has heightened my senses to focus on those noises instead of the actual test. It left my mind blank when it came to answering the questions. I aim to take the LSAT Feb 2023, and now this has me second guessing everything I’ve done so far. Any tips from people who had similar issues?

PS Swap?

Hi everyone! Anyone interested in participating in a personal statement swap? I would like some feedback on my personal statement as I really wanna strengthen it before I submit applications.

I have been studying logical reasoning for quite some time now and consistently get -8 wrong. I have been drilling daily and reviewing the questions and making sure they make sense to me. I planned to take the January test but now I'm feeling very discouraged. I don't think I can get a great score with this. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve on this section?

Hi all,

I live in DTLA and I'm planning to take the June or August LSAT next year. Does anyone want to be study buddies and meet once a week or once every two weeks on weekday evenings or weekends? We could hold each other accountable and maybe work through problems together.

I'd prefer DTLA or nearby areas like Ktown, Arts District, or Silverlake. I want to (hopefullyyy) score in the 170s. If anyone is interested, please message! :)

Reading Comp Tips?

Hi all!

I am currently scoring in the high 150's and am writing the January LSAT. My highest PT is a 162, and typically BR is ranging around a 165. I would really like to score in the 160's in January, but reading comp is consistently a weak point for me, and often times I am scoring -10 or more on it. I have seen a big improvement since I first started studying, and used to take 4-4:30 to read passages and now am finishing all four at around 3:30 each, and I feel like I am retaining more information than before. I have been drilling full, timed, reading comp sets and seem to do really well on the easy/medium difficulty levels, but really struggle with the hardest ones. That said, does anyone have any tips for improving this score? I am thinking of maybe just drilling hard sets untimed until it starts to make some more sense to me?

Any help is appreciated!!

Hey everyone,

The title says it all. I'm hardcore struggling with LG right now. Specifically on in/out games. I would say I'm pretty good at getting the inferences of a game once a good base diagram is drawn, but I am not getting the hang of drawing accurate game boards. This might just be a problem for in/out games, because when I did the sequencing lessons I got the hang of those fairly quickly. Any advice? I know once I have an accurate game board, everything else clicks.

Any tips or tricks for drawing accurate game boards would be super appreciated! Thank you.

Please help!

Feeling discouraged that my LSAT score didn't go above 150 in the November exam, although my highest pt is a 159 and average a 154. I don't have the money for tutors or these expensive programs. What should I do? my score went from a 140 original to 150 , so there is progress but I need to rack up 160 for the competition in the schools I plan to apply to, now for next cycle instead of the following one.

I struggle most on LG but feel like LR here isn't the most helpful (the teaching style).

Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated.

Hello! Finally back in the habit of regularly studying, but having a bit of an issue. I've been drilling NA for a couple of days, but sometimes still miss questions. Should I focus on this question type until I repeatdly miss no questions in my drills or take a break and move on to other sections? Thanks in advance for advice!

Northwestern Online Interview

Hello,

I submitted my application to Northwestern and registered for an online interview. Kinda nervous. Anyone has any tips? Or if anyone went through it what was your experience?

P.S. It is by far my top choice :)

Logical Reasoning Help

Hello!

I'm looking for a small group of people to discuss and drill Logical Reasoning questions.

Anyone in the 160-170 range and taking the January LSAT, or another date for that matter, please shoot me a message and I will create one! I believe this group can help keep each other accountable and share helpful tips to truly excel at 4 or 5 star questions.

Is it bad to have multiple score cancellations/ worse than scoring lower on your second test? I cancelled my first score in August of 2021, scored a 155 in November 2022, and now scored worse than a 155 (151) and do not know if I should cancel this score because of the decrease, or not worry because will the schools only care about my 155? I have only 24 hours left to decide to cancel or not and am so so so confused as to what to do... PLEASE HELP! Any advice GREATLY appreciated!!!!

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, December 5th from 9:00-10:30pm ET.

Here's how it works:

  • Register for the Breakout no later than Sunday, December 4th.
  • Take PT53 Section 1 (based on 7Sage's numbering - should be an LR 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)!
  • Log in to the Breakout Session at the appointed time. We will automatically place you in a group of 3-5 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:
