I did the LR section of the 7sage course, and am a little better at identifying the correct answer, but still don't feel like I am where I should be, is the best way to improve in LR just to spam out drills?

Greetings,

I have a 4.2 LSAC GPA and a 163 LSAT. Evidently, I am an extreme example of a reverse-splitter, and I am unsure if I should write an addendum letter at all. I am currently applying to uPenn Carey Law, which I have heard favours splitters to some extent. If anyone has any advice, feel free to reply.

This keeps happening to me. My blind review is 14 points higher than my timed score.

I did the LSAT untimed to see whats my problem, and my problem is timing. How do I improve timing

Hello everyone!

My name is Ken. My friends and I host an LSAT study meeting at Gangnam every Sunday. We do not charge to attend this meeting but ask that each participant only pays for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. If anyone else wants to join, please read the conditions below and send me a message to my inbox! (:

Thanks!

I have received 50% extra time on the exam and would like to practice under these conditions. Is there anything I can do in "settings" option of 7Sage to edit the time allotted per section?

I applied to CLS/Chi quite a few times about 3-5 years ago, last time in 2019-2020 cycle.

I used PS-1 the first time and a different PS-2 in later apps over a few years.

Since then my score has expired and I retook this Oct.

All my other application material (Recs, Resume etc) is pretty much the same. I can't get another rec from elsewhere.

Is it ok to reuse the PS, or do I need to write an entirely "fresh" one?

What if I reuse PS-1 which wasn't the latest PS i reapplied with earlier, how much difference would it make compared to writing a new one?

Hey y'all

It's rare for an answer to attack the premise and be right, but how rare is it after PT75.

On question 75.3.13: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-75-section-3-question-13/

The correct answer choice contradicts a premise in the argument, now as this is against the learned approach of never attack the premises. How often is it seen in the rest of the prep tests? If it is often, how did you guys adjust your process of thought in order to get these type of questions right.

-Moreover, if y'all have some drills to be more consistent at getting 4/5 star difficulty questions right I would highly appreciate it!

When I look up the definition of "once", it works like "when" - a Group 1 Indiciator.

I wanted to start with some statements and let's assume them all true.

Somehow, I think "once" / "as long as" works the same way as "if and only if".

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hi!

What I'm offering:

to help you out with LR questions either

so I definitely feel like I did worse on the Oct LSAT than the sept LSAT. Would it be smart to purchase score preview and cancel that score or should I keep it? How would law school view a lower score vs a canceled score?

Hi everyone!

I saw someone else's post for tutoring and thought I could do the same. I plan on taking the November LSAT and I am also currently scoring 165+, so it wouldn't be anything seriously official. I am looking to have consistency in my LR section by working through questions and explaining using a specific process.

Let me know if you are interested!

Hey everyone, just want to hear everyone's thoughts on what worked for them in terms of how many study hours you put in per day without feeling burnt out?

I see that 7sage writes out the Lawgic for the majority of the logical reasoning questions and answer choices, which of course is very helpful in determining the correct answer. Can anyone that has taken the digital lsat before please advise if you are at a disadvantage because you can not write everything out? What was your solution to this?

I just wanted to come on here and thank J.Y and the entire 7sage team for helping me achieve a goal that I never thought would be possible! I started studying seriously in July 2020 and proceeded to take the LSAT in June 2021. I thought it would be impossible to overcome the daunting 170 hump while also working full-time at a law firm, but with the tips and lessons uploaded on 7sage, I was able to achieve just that. I want to say, these videos and resources really really do work and is worth every penny. And I am happy to say my LSAT journey is over!!!! If I can do it, so can you.

In another discussion post about this question (the only other post about this question), one of the responses stated:

the crux of the argument lies in the second part of the second sentence where the author makes an explicit attempt at underlining the underlying logic: "but the absence of sightings cannot prove that it does not (exist)".

In lawgic that's: if there's absence, then we cannot prove non-existence.

Absence --> /prove

In order to weaken the argument, we need to find something that's loosely along the lines of: if there's absence, then that might actually mean non-existence.

(E) encapsulates this best.

But his underlying logic doesn't really make sense to me. If Absence of sightings -> cannot prove yeti does not exist, then the contrapositive is: prove yeti does not exist -> some sightings. The contrapositive doesn't make intuitive sense. If we prove that the yeti does not exist, then there must be some sightings of the yeti? That sounds like the complete opposite of what is necessary to prove something does not exist.

How does answer choice E weaken the argument? Is focusing on the underlying logic in the final sentence the best way to approach this question?

Hi everyone,

So, I've been studying for the past month and a half or so and I can't seem to get logical reasoning down. I always, and I mean always, get only 50% of the questions right. The best I have ever done is a -10. I always go back and review what I got wrong, why I got it wrong, and watch every video explanation to the questions I got wrong. Usually it's due to reading errors, rushing, or just overthinking the answer choices. The last time I got 12/26 correct and had a complete mental breakdown. Took a break for one day and did a section just now and got -13.

Anyone have any advice out there if you just can't seem to have any sort of breakthrough on logical reasoning? I feel so demotivated, sad, and almost like giving up. I've read half of Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book and it did help at the start but it feels like nothing sunk in. I'm taking the November test and I'm absolutely panicking.

I am taking the November test and need advice. I have been consistently studying and even got 2 lessons with a private tutor. I am finding myself making small improvements (finishing RC with better timing, making more confident answer choices, etc.) but am feeling stuck and distressed. LG is my best so I had my tutor help me with LR and RC... he definitely helped me and I am approaching them better but my scores remain the same.

Trying not to spiral (obviously failing at that) but I have a GPA of 3.89 and good softs - I just need this score. I really need to break into at least a 165+ and right now PT'ing between 160-163. I guess I just need advice on how to change my approach or some encouragement to just keep trying because I feel like I exhausted every single option.

I've been doing a test each week on Khan Academy. I study the PowerScore LSAT Bibles everyday then take a practice test sometime on the weekends.

Week 1: 147

Week 2: 151

Week 3: 158 (I hit a high point and I really thought I was getting it)

Week 4: 157 (It wasn't too much of a difference so I wasn't too worried)

Week 5: 149

I don't understand how I'm getting worse. I don't think it can be fatigue since I'm only taking on test a week. My analytical reasoning got worse from 10 right to 7 right, my Logical Reasoning got worse from 19 right to 15 right, and my Reading comprehension pretty much stayed the same (around 20 right).

I've been really struggling with Logical Reasoning as I'd think I understand the answers then get fooled again every time. And while my reading comprehension has stayed the same, I would really like to get it better.

Has anyone else experienced this and can I get any better than 158 or is that probably the best score I'll get now?

Any advice would be great, thanks!****

I was admitted to UVA Law this morning and I am 100% certain I would not have accomplished that without the help of 7Sage for both the LSAT and admissions prep. I took my LSAT from a 163 diagnostic to a 174 in August and read everything I could about writing the PS, DS, and addenda. I'm so grateful for this resource and encourage everyone to take full advantage of it!!!

Hello,

I'm applying to York University which has a Part B to discuss diversity and equity factors. I'm curious to understand how "optional" are these optional statements? Is this something encouraged or would it hurt my chances if I don't choose to write one?

Thanks!

Ive tried it all writing down notes while reading, to just reading i do horribly in this section. does anyone have any advice on how to improve?

for instance, PTs 1-35

currently will include practice problems from the most recent exams and we are instructed by JY to save those for PTing

How do I tell if I need to pick all the game pieces that could fulfill the given condition, or if I need to select the answer choice that is a valid scenario? For this question (Which one of the following could be all of the solos that are traditional pieces?), I thought I needed to list all the solos that could be traditional pieces, which would be "second, third, fourth, fifth." But that wasn't an answer choice and I got extremely confused. I ended up rereading the game and all the rules a bunch of times and ran out of time for this game. For this question, I believe I simply needed to select the answer that depicts a valid game board. What is the difference between this question and a question that requires listing all possible solos that could be traditional pieces? I often cannot tell apart the wording between these two question types.

Thanks.

Hi, I am confused as to why the correct answer is C? I felt C was a different argument since the final conclusion was " wise investors will conclude that the expansion will continue for some time"
