Hi Everyone,

I just did question 18 in Section 2 of PT 77 and I am confused by the language in answer choice D. It says "fails to exclude the possibility that there might be legitimate evidence motivating those who reject Shakespeare's authorship". The fails to exclude part threw me off and I was hoping someone could better explain that to me. Thanks!

Hi everyone. I'm currently scheduled for the April 2024 LSAT administration but I want to push it back to August '24 to avoid the Logic Games section and to give myself more time to utilize 7Sage to prepare for the test. My issue is that the registration isn't currently open and from previous years it looks like you can't register until May for the August test. If that's true, I'll be in a pickle because the deadline to change my test date free of charge is at the end of this month, as well as the fact that I'm scheduled for April but the sign-up wouldn't be until May so I'd be forced into withdrawing my registration for the LSAT altogether by February 29th and then signing up for the August LSAT when it opens. I'm wondering if it could be an option to switch dates to the June test then switch to the August date when registration opens without incurring a penalty/paying more as a result of pushing my test date. Does anyone have any advice or insight into this matter that could be helpful for my situation? Additionally, I couldn't find Ithaca, NY as a test administration site on the LSAC website. Ithaca College and Cornell used to administer the LSAT so I'm curious if they're no longer offering it there and not sure who to contact for that information. Many thanks in advance for any advice/insight!

Hello. I am based in Columbus, OH and I plan on taking the LSAT on August 2024 (I know registration hasn't opened yet). I would love to join any study group (remote or in person). I would also love to receive some tips on how to study for the LSAT and get a high score within six months.

Thank you in advance.

I’m trying to understand the methodology of doing a practice set of let’s say 2 games, then doing them the best you can , then watching the video for explanation. I just feel like I’m doing the same thing of struggling through a game , then watching the video , doing the game over and over again until I get all the inferences. But then I try a new set and I feel like I either do ok or I’m back to struggling. I’ve done so much practice I’m sure I still I haven’t seen all the types of games there are? Sometimes the way the games are worded confuses me where I take extra time upfront to understand the rules so I can draw it correctly. I’m at a standstill at this point and I want to get it right. :/

hi! I am taking the April LSAT and probably June as well. I am in Huntsville, AL, and it would be awesome to find someone around the same area to study with, but I am totally open to doing zoom from anyone, anywhere! I'm currently a rising senior in college and work part time, so some days it's hard to stay motivated. I am sitting at a 151 currently, trying to break into the 160s. I have went up from a 137 diagnostic in November-ish, so I am feeling like I will make it to my goal score by April. I struggle the most in RC, I'm pretty okay at LR, and Games I've gotten pretty good at, besides the miscellaneous and sometimes In/Outs.

If you're ready to get more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday February 3 at 1:00 PM.

Looking forward to the Blind Review sessions on Monday. The links to join are below, and if you have a Live subscription you can access the recordings here for last week's (LR) and (RC) Blind Review classes on PT72. We had fun discussing a not-so-fun topic of theoretical and clinical "equipoise" in that third RC passage. We also picked each others' brains on lots of LR questions, namely that tough Strengthen question near the end of the section about "phenazines," or as we decided to call them, "P's."LSAT hack! Replace long, hard-to-read words with their first letter!

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

  • Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.

    • Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

    Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 74; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

    Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

    Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

    If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

    Hey y'all, I am taking the LSAT in either June or April and would love to have a study group to meet/talk with once a week or so to troubleshoot some questions and just talk about strategies for studying somewhere in the greater Seattle area. I took the test last June(?) and got 16X, and would like to try and bump it into the 170's. Open to zoom/Discord as well if IRL meeting is a bit difficult.

    Hi all,

    Whenever I try to make a drill of 15 or 25 LR questions made from specific PrepTests with all tags highlighted, I get an error stating: "Sorry, we were not able to create a drill based on your criteria. Please try again."

    Whenever I do with 15 LR questions, I get the error message above but the drill is eventually created showing up in the "Show Existing Drills" section. A bit of an annoyance, but at the end of the day I get the drill so no harm there.

    However, whenever I do it with 25, no drill is created even after a period of time.

    I've attached some imgur links showing the criteria I've highlighted for the drills.

    For reference, I'm using the latest version of Chrome on macOS 14.1.2.

    Any way to fix this or will I have to make my own custom 25 question drills via the advanced builder?

    Hi! I'm interested in putting together a study group for the April 2024 LSAT (if you're taking the test earlier or later, still feel free to hop on!), details below.

    I'm currently scoring: 175-179

    My planned test date: April 2024

    My goals for this group are: Get together a regularly meeting group to review practice sections and tests, go over answer choices, and cement understanding.

    We'll focus on: Solidifying strategies for RC and LR is my current goal, but any review and reenforcement would be helpful.

    When we'll meet and what we'll do: TBD

    How to join: comment here and I'll DM you, or DM me your email and I'll make an email list to send to everyone with a link to vote on meeting times. Looking for once or twice a week meetings :)

    Thanks for reading, good luck to everyone!

    I have dreamed of making this post. I finally reached my goal score of 159 on my third writing of the LSAT. 7Sage is by far the best LSAT company overall. The drilling aspect of the website is phenomenal. There is no better way to prepare for the LSAT than drilling, and 7Sage allows students to organize and keep track of drills.

    Thank you 7Sage. I have applied to 6 Law Schools and here is hoping I get in. God bless you all.

    Just wanted to write this as an appreciation of the service you guys offer. I took my first cold diagnostic and got a 145 at the beginning of October. Just got the January LSAT score today of 160. Didn't have my hopes up initially, but to my surprise got a good enough score to get me into my target schools for next fall. Thanks JY! One thing I will say, as I wasn't one to study religiously, just try to master the logic games while they are still available. I believe the LG are the easiest way to drive your score up, understand the gameboards and different setups. I just drilled LG for 2 weeks and it stuck to me like glue. I guess for anyone looking to improve their score, just try to have fun with the logic games. It is like solving a puzzle and get to a point where you have done the same "puzzle" so much that you can do it with your eyes close. I am not gonna sit here and act like I wasn't awful at LG at first, but JY made it so they were fun. That's mainly my advice, master the LG and make up for missed questions in other sections (my reading comp scores were quite bad haha). Also don't overwhelm yourself with practice tests, I took one a day for the 3 weeks leading up to my LSAT, and found that to be the most helpful solution. Thanks JY and the 7sage team for creating such an easy to use platform, I don't think I would've done remotely as well without it.

    Hey, y’all! I’m taking the February LSAT next Saturday and was wondering what my study schedule should be. I’ve been focusing hard this last month on logic games as I think it can boost my score the few points I want to be able to get in. I’ve been doing about an hour a day or so drilling 3-4 games a day. Should I continue doing this? I feel okay enough about the other sections. My goal is a 150ish. Thanks!

    I took the LSAT again for the 2nd time this Jan, let’s just say I cried all morning yesterday! I have not been having the best of luck with this test but I am determined to get better and work harder. If anyone is looking for a study partner or group hmu! I had a partner a few months before taking it and he canceled after the our second meeting. Message me or comment 🩵

    Thank you 7sage! It has been a long 2 years, but I am officially thrilled with my final outcome. Best of luck studying everyone! You can do it, it just might take a bit

    Appreciation post to 7Sage. Thank you for the platform and the study materials. I started studying back in April 2023 and my first diagnostic was a 145. I was pretty discouraged. This test seems to have a mental component to it that proved to be half the battle for me. After I finished the core curriculum I took the September LSAT without having taken any practice tests prior. I ended up scoring a 149 and felt sorely disappointed. I decided to retake the exam in January. From September to January, I studied my brains out but I also gave myself more time to relax and have fun. I ended up taking 10 practice tests before January. On my last 3 practice tests before I took the actual LSAT I scored 156, 157, and then a 158. I just got my score released today for the January 2024 LSAT and my score came back a 160.

    There were times where I thought I would never see myself into the 160's. For anyone who is wondering if they have it within themselves, YOU DO! Practice tests really helped me to get rid of my nerves and also to just get more familiar with the timing. You really can improve as much as you want on this test. So don't give up and keep fighting. Meditate, pray, and relax more! It helped me. But also be prepared to dedicate hours and hours of studying because it took me about 8 months to get to this point. It was all worth it for me though!

    Heyyy ya'll! When LSAC released the decision of removing the logic games, I decided to hold off until August to take the test. That being said, I've been studying on and off for over a year and have been consistently studying while working a full time job since June. I finished the core curriculum and have been spending my time now drilling RC and LR, PTing, blind review, and wrong answer journal.

    I'd love to know what YOU are doing if you are taking August LSAT! How are you divvying up your time? What are you focusing on? How often are you PTing? Any outside recources you are using besides 7sage? I'd love to know, thanks :)
