During the problem set, this game really stumped me, because it doesn't use any typical gameboard setup and I had a really hard time finding an effective way to successfully visualize and toggle all the variables. JY's explanation (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-31-section-1-game-4/) had an okay game setup, but I still didn't like how it didn't represent the 2 vs 3-day possibilities or the distribution of the tasks over the days.

While I did only mediocre during my timed take of this game, during blind review I went back to the beginning and brainstormed ways to set up the board to fully and effectively represent all the variables, and I came up with this: (not sure the imgur embed is working so pls copy and paste this link into your browser) www.imgur.com/a/DKBdjxB https://imgur.com/a/DKBdjxB

This setup accounts for all possible gameboards (since the boards are determined by the Day and Task divisions) and there are only 5 (I realized the 5th possibility after I made the imgur link and cant be bothered to do it again, but it's a Day 1: FWT, Day 2: S, Day 3: P gameboard). I wrote the possible Crew Members next to each task in subscript, and kept rule 3b (Max 1 task/CM/Day) HEAVILY in mind. With this visualization of the game, the questions don't take much time at all!

For Q'S 19 and 21, I went down my second column and eliminated any answers that didn't have either I or K, then elim any without L or O, then any without L or G, etc. Made these Q's way faster than when I did the set timed, and with this info setup these questions took only 20-30 seconds each.

For the other 3 questions, you have to kind of blunt force them, but because you have all possible game boards you can kind of blunt force them in your head if you choose. This is where you want to keep rule 3b heavily in your mind, but be aware it can get jumbled in your head bc you're trying to track so many things.

Just wanted to share my game board set up because it made this game a thousand times easier, and I hope other people can benefit from this.

Hello, can someone please explain how answer choice C supports the conclusion and how D does not?

Sorry, we are in the progress of fixing the order right now!

I used to be able to see the video, when doing questions why I no longer can see that? it's making me type here.

Hello...I am wanting to start PTs and am nearing the end of the LG curriculum. Toward the end, I am struggling with the games. I have made a pile of the games I am really lost on. Before I start PTs, should I BRUTE FORCE understanding on all of the games in my pile? Or start PTs and brute force one game a day while PTing? I haven't taken a diagnostic and have been studying since March/April. #help

Hi, Everyone! I'm looking for a group of 5-6 people to study with me for the October LSAT (in Miami). Could be mornings or evenings - preferably if you've already taken the LSAT or are scoring 160+. My goal is 167+. Thanks :)

Hello.....I've noticed that sometimes questions can purposefully be time sinkers. Does anyone have any tips on how to identify time sinkers that we should skip and come back to? Thank you #help

Has anyone had experience with requesting a quiet space for the test? Do they just reimburse for a hotel or do they have us go to a specific testing centre?

Hi! I'm taking my first LSAT in September and therefore also spending these last weeks gearing up for it. If you're also taking the September LSAT and need someone to keep you on track, reply below. I want to make a small accountability group that can keep each other motivated daily and meets up once or twice a week.

Hi everyone,

I am going back to school next week. I will also be working full time job so it is going to be nearly impossible for me to study for the LSAT for the next 3 months.

I have been using 7sage since May and have noticed a lot of improvement. I am currently on track to finish the entire LR section of the core curriculum before I go back.

I plan on taking the LSAT next summer (August/September) and apply to law school in 2024. What can I do to not lose everything I have worked so hard for from now until winter break when I can begin to study again?

Hi, is there any consensus or received wisdom as to how valuable each point on the LSAT is above the median for a given school? I'm referring specifically to top, top schools.

I ask because, with the SAT/ACT, I seem to recall that there was pretty general agreement that top schools didn't really care how close you were to a perfect score so long as you were at or above their median/average. For instance, getting a 1590 on the SAT wasn't much more helpful than getting a 1530 for getting into Harvard (according to the opinions that I'd been exposed to). Is the LSAT similar -- or is there any discussion on the matter?

In other words, if I'm PT'ing at 177 or 178 and my score is 174 or 175, is it worth the agony of retaking it if I want a solid shot at, say, Yale?

If you go to "LSAT questions" then "Drills", there are two labels under the logic game category called "grouping with sequencing" and "sequencing with grouping". Is there a difference between them?

Just did PT-88 and ran out of time in middle of Game-3.

G2 and G3 felt much much harder than any other test I've taken, and this after doing not so easy G1 that took ~11 mins.

I went -1/24 today morning on another PT-39 LG, so not sure if PT-88 is an outlier or not.

Is PT-88-LG a known extremely-hard section? How did those who usually are -0 in LG did on this PT?

I’m trying to figure out how to move forward with my LSAT studying and thought I’d ask you guys.

My practice LSAT scores are in the mid-150s. That’s good enough to get in to my schools of choice, but I’d like to get a 160 for better scholarship opportunities. I’m taking the September LSAT, so I’m running out of time. I have purchased the 7Sage course and am going through their study schedule example. Should I focus more on practice tests and blind reviewing them or on the curriculum? Or curriculum with a mix of practice tests? Is a 160 even doable at this point?

Any bits of wisdom or advice is much appreciated!

are 5 scratch papers enough if we get 2 LG sections? I am afraid I won't have enough space. Any idea?

There are various lists/rating for individual games, but not section as a whole for LG.

Does 7sage (or any other place) has a list of difficult sections for each of RC, LR, LG?

Hi! I’m having a bit of trouble approaching my method of review w this section of the LSAT. I’ve been going through the curriculum and doing all the practice sets each section provides. I cant help but think that the best way to approach testing myself it to do drills repeatedly with with specific question types but I remember the advice they gave us saying that we should not exhaust all our study resources too quickly AND to not do one question type over and over again… does anyone have any advice on how to approach improving each question type?

While doing problem sets for MSS questions, I pinned questions that I struggled with. But I can't figure out where I can access all of the questions that I pinned. How can I access this?

I am currently in the midst of a cold streak with logical reasoning. I understand the steps 7Sage has prescribed and attempt to review them, but every practice set and blind review leaves me feeling frustrated and with no progress whatsoever.

I was wondering if any of you have found a method to take a step back from Logical Reasoning and reevaluating your methods and have seen improvement. No amount of blind review or practice questions seems to be yielding a positive gain in my abilities. Thanks!

Okay, can somebody please explain how B is correct. I understand why it is on some level, and why the others are wrong, partially because what all of the wrong answers have in common is basically that the new calendar doesn’t mess with their schedule, but it still isn’t fully clicking to me why B is 100% objectively correct. After reading through the stimulus many times, I still don’t understand the implications of the days before January 1st mixing up so that the group in AC B will eventually run into problems. I’m just really confused. Thanks a lot in advance.

Can anyone explain why E is incorrect?

Hi everyone, I just started studying for the LSAT this week and plan to take the April 2023 LSAT. I was wondering what the best way to study is. Should I just go down the course list and learn every single tab, or is that a waste of my time and is there a more effective way to study? Also, when should I start taking prep tests? Because currently, I feel like I won't be ready to take a full-length prep test for at least like 2 more months. Please share your experience and how you started studying, and when you took your first prep tests.

I am seeking any tips or strategies to help improve my thought process on Weakening Questions. No matter how many times I rewatch the lessons or do problem sets, I still cannot answer them correctly. I do well with Strengthening Questions, but for some reason my brain is not clicking with Weakening Questions. Help would be greatly appreciated! #help

why is A correct?

Would a be incorrect if the answer was stated as" scientific experiments can go unchallenged for many years"

I feel like a is only correct because it has the " before they are replicated part"
