Hey team,
For all of those 7Sage team members who have taken the LSAT in the past. Have any of you ever gotten two reading comp sections instead of two logical reasoning sections?
Hello hello, 7Sagers everywhere!
On Wednesday, June 21st at 8:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about receiving your official LSAT score. For this webinar, Live Class Teachers Kavita Oza and Bailey Luber will lead a discussion on what to do leading up to and after getting your official LSAT score back. Score Release for the June LSAT will take place just one week later on June 28th, so don't skip out on this prep time that's sure to leave you feeling more confident in your next steps!
⚠️ You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

I took the June test on June 13, and while I was taking the last section of the test, the proctor abruptly terminated my test and would not tell me the reason for termination when I asked her but instead asked me to reach out to LSAC directly.
I immediately called the LSAC afterwards, and they simply told me to submit a test complaint via my account and wait for them to reply. After one day, the Office of Test Security replied by email that I was observed running an unpermitted software application, Cisco Webex, which violated section 16 of the Candidate Agreement (test takers are not permitted to operate or run any other software applications at any point during the testing session). They have cancelled my score and would not offer me a retest opportunity.
I promptly called the LSAC and again they told me to address my concerns by sending an email to the Office of Test Security, as they are solely in charge of handling test takers' complaints and cannot be reached by phone call! I had absolutely no knowledge that the app was being run. I made every reasonable effort to close open apps before the test, and I also believed any such app was already double-checked and closed by the proctors (there were two proctors in turn monitoring my test before the third proctor terminated it). So I wrote an email to the office as copied below:
In reference to your email regarding my June test complaint, the software application Cisco Webex has not been used or opened by me or anyone else on that computer for over six months. Before taking the test, I made all reasonable efforts as a general computer user to ensure that any open applications were closed. I distinctly recall the two proctors also double-checking and ensuring that such an application was closed.
Please provide proof that this application was actively operated on the computer. Additionally, please explain why, based on this proof, you were able to determine that any screen sharing or remote accessing might have occurred, potentially causing a violation of academic integrity. Furthermore, please clarify why, as a general computer user, I would have had any reasonable ability to know and prevent such technical issues from happening.
However, they basically dismissed my concerns, replying that they found it necessary to cancel my June 2023 LSAT score due to a violation of the Candidate Agreement, and I am not eligible for options in response to my complaint. They would not even give me any proof of their allegation!
I don't know what else I can do to raise my concerns and get a retest, other than giving LSAC a phone call and being dismissed by them again. I have prepared for this test for over a year in total and I am desperate to take the June retest (which is scheduled next week on June 21) because I probably wouldn't be able to test again in the near future due to my personal arrangements. If any of you have any advice as to what I can do now, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
As I am going through the curriculum, I am nervous that I will forget past lessons and skills learned. How can I make sure I am keeping up with every skill as I add more and more to my plate. For example, I am currently on Weakening Questions but I want to make sure I don't forget Logic, MSS Questions, and Main Point Questions. Do I just do practice sets everyday? Or what else?
Does anyone know if you're still allowed to use the "command f" function on test day? I feel as though that'd really help during RC.
Last week I scored a 179 on a PT in the 70's. The score completely blindsided me as my previous highest score was a 170 and I'd been scoring in the high 160's for the past three PTs. I am of course very excited about this score but I am panicking about maintaining it. I haven't taken another preptest since but I've been drilling logical reasoning in the 80's (old practice tests I took over a year ago) this week and my LR score is dropping significantly. I typically score -2 to -0 but in these early 80's PT's I'm scoring -4 to -6. I am panicking about my next PT score dipping back into the 160's. I need a 170-high to offset my low GPA and even though I know I should feel confident about scoring a 179 on a practice test it's honestly made my anxiety worse.
Can anyone give some advice on how to handle score drops in the 80's? I am taking the August test and feel like time is running out to prepare effectively. Also, any advice you can give on managing stress? This is the most stressed I've ever felt in this process and I've been studying for a long, long time.
Hi 7Sagers,
How would the following statement be diagrammed?
"The tornadoes in the area are not the only natural disasters happening in the country."
Does this statement have a useful representation using conditional logic? How would "not the only" be represented when diagramming a conditional statement? This was not pulled from a PrepTest, just something I thought of while going through the Logic section of the CC.
Thanks!
Alright here's my dilemma:
I just asked two people to write my letters of recommendation for law school. Assuming they say yes, most websites I've read recommend THREE letters of recommendation. However, I don't have that close of a relationship with any other professors/TAs.
I do play a club sport for my university and have a decent relationship with our coach. Should I ask him to write me a letter or is that too casual? He 100% knows my worth ethic, determination, etc., which could look good on a rec letter. Alternatively, do I ask a professor I've talked to maybe once, or just leave it at two people?
Any help is appreciated, thank you!
There was a link to a class I had saved where J.Y. was going over whether or not version 2 was right for us & I lost it. Does anyone know where I can find it? It was held about a month ago from what I remember for a week straight.
Does anyone know if the glass wall rule prohibits all glass walls, or is it acceptable to have one glass wall (or door with a window)?
Despite the option for in-person testing on the August 2023 test, remote testing still seems like the most risk averse option [considering the variable number of variables (pun intended) involved with Prometric centers]. With that being said, I'm having some difficulty finding a space that definitively meets all of the LSAC/proctoring requirements.
The private rooms in my office building have three solid walls and one glass wall, and the same is true for most study rooms at my university and nearby public libraries.
Hi, I was wondering how I can gain access to CC v2? Also I'm 60% done with the LR curriculum on CC v1 and I'm wondering if I should make the switch to v2 now or if I should reference v2 as a refresher?
Anyone notice the 7sage drills aren't showing the options that is usually shows on the top left or showing the question difficulty. I don't know if it the site itself or my laptop. I restarted and even used a separate browser and even logged out and back in but nothing.
Hi I'm looking for a couple of people to review RC and LR with. I have solved over 50 PTs but decided to cancel June last minute to really hone in on RC and get LR to a consistent -1/2. I'm going to be starting from PT 1 and resolving and reviewing at least 1-2 RC sections over 2-3 days. I plan to really intensively go over RC so if anyone is interested in consistently doing this to (for review/accountability), please message me!
Could someone please explain why A is correct? #help
Hello,
I for some reason cannot submit any of my drills to see the answers or do blind review and I am also missing the check marks to all my classes in the syllabus.

I switched to CCv2 to test it, but it is unreflective of where I am at progress wise in terms of my studying start date - is there any way to fix this so it reflects how much time I have actually had to study? :)
Thank you!! :)
I took April's test and could have done better.
Has LSAC released it given its been time since it has been released.
I would like to review it and see how I could have done better.
If someone knows where I can find it- I's appreciate it if I was pointed in the right direction.
Thank You.
They are gone again, is it only me?
Hey all,
I'm having trouble translating the conclusion of the argument into logical form, perhaps because of the word "solely." The conclusion states that "it is solely due to ... peppers that he became ill."
I interpreted solely as only (and therefore required), so my diagram was like this:
~ peppers --> ~ sick
sick --> peppers
This is contrary to the explanation here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-14-section-4-question-21/
Can someone explain how I should interpret solely?
Thanks!
Bought Prep plus separately. Monthly subscription to 7sage was bought before Prep plus. Don't have the option to link my accounts.
I took a drill (first time here), and there is an option to view explanation for the questions I got right. However, for the question I got wrong, there is only this option to post in the discussion forum. Any idea where I can view the explanation?
Hi all,
I can't find them anywhere. JW keeps referencing them in his explanation vids.
Thanks.
Will the remote LSAT start time be adjusted for my time zone (Hawaii Standard time)?
What does the remote LSAT format look like? I've tried looking up screenshots or a simulation but haven't found anything. Is 7sage's format similar in terms of layout? Does it have highlight, underline, ability to cross out answers, or any other tools like 7sage?
Hi everyone,
I just took LSAT 57 - Section 3 - Question 23 about "brushless car wash" and I really don't understand how C can be correct. To me all of the answer choices were wrong and C seemed to me like a big inference (i.e. both brush and brushless car wash could leave a visible scratches on new and old cars, but "brushless" could leave less).
Any tips on how to answer this type of questions?#help
