Would love to start a study group for Sept 2022! Looking to hit 170s but highest PT right now is 165. I'm a server so my availability is a bit tight (mornings/afternoons preferred) but if you're interested please let me know!!

Howdy 7Sagers!

I'm very excited to announce that I will be teaching another ten-week LSAT course. If you're looking to master key LSAT concepts and strategies with the help of real, live 7Sage tutor, this is the course for you!

We will be meeting once per week for an hour at a time, and along the way I will be providing you with homework, drills, and a study plan so that you don't have to do any guesswork in preparing for this test. This course is perfect for anyone who is looking for a little more structure in their LSAT journey, with help along the way from study buddies and a teacher who knows what it takes to climb all the way to a 180.

We will be beginning on Saturday, July 9th from 1pm to 2pm EST and continue weekly until September 10th! To sign up, visit this link: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-live-class-merschat-july/

For any questions, feel free to comment below and I'll be sure to answer!

How long has everyone been studying for the august 2022 exam? I am studying basically full time this summer hoping to take the august 2022 exam. Going to have a lot less time once school starts but I am nervous to sign up for it and not end up doing well. Hoping for 165+ score -- what should my score be at the end of June to determine if I should sign up for the August exam or instead do the September/October one?

This is definitely a rudimentary question but with the LSAT-FLEX and all the other options/changing format I'm having a hard time finding a straight answer and would love to know for sure.

Should I expect 4 sections total, and two LR sections for the September LSAT or just three sections?

Does the LR section(s) account for 50% of the LSAT grade or has that changed?

I was stuck between C and E for this question and chose the latter because the stimulus seemed to be more focused on extraterrestrial life. E can also be an actual reason for why we wouldn't know about life outside of Earth. How would you know to choose C over E? Why is it not the answer?

Hello all,

Quick question. Is it a bad idea to do some jumping around in the curriculum? The reason I ask is when my brain is vaped out on LR/RC questions I could still do LG questions/sections instead of having to take a break or stop for the day.

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I understand the reason to proceed through the curriculum from start to finish and not make any jumps, but I also think I could make more efficient use of my time.

Thank you for weighing in if you choose to!

How do I print out PrepTest? It wont allow me send it through email due to being "too large" and not able tp print out.

currently scoring -10 ish on all categories. Best tips to improve? have been studying about 25 days.

Does anyone have a trick for answering assumption questions? They are killing me! No matter how many times I re-watch the lessons; I still cannot understand them. Please help!!!

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to start a study group for the NOV 2022 LSAT. I am thinking of starting a discord where we can share study tips/study together/ask questions and more! :)

Looking for a study buddy. Based in Canada

Keep reading about the ABA potentially making the LSAT optional -- most recently that if passed it could apply as early as 2023. Does anyone at 7S have clarity on what that means specifically -- would that be test optional for THIS current admissions cycle? Love to hear any thoughts!

Thanks

Looking for a study buddy! I can meet any day throughout the summer. Urgent!

Hi guys! I am looking for some people to study with for the August 2022 LSAT! Hoping to make some sort of groupme or group chat, and maybe have zooms or something! I am a little behind on my study schedule, but I am hoping to really pick up the pace. My goal is mid 170s, and I am currently scoring around 169-171. Also, I am on EST!!

Hello,

I wanted to get some opinions. I have not done any LSAT prep before, and I just took my first practice/diagnostic exam today and got a 149. My goal score is 170+ and I want to ideally take the October or November LSAT. Given the fact that I have essentially not studied at all yet, do you guys think I have a shot at raising my score 21+ points in time for either of the exam dates?

Thanks!

I have no idea why it is not E

I don't understand how AC A strengthens the argument...so we can't see them when it is a wet year, shouldn't that mean that in '85 the observer would have seen less beetles that year than in '89?

Is anyone able to explain not just why AC B is correct, but why AC A is incorrect?

My understanding from the question stem is that the correct answer choice will be one that establishes either one of the two plans (demolition or rehabilitation). I chose AC A because I reasoned that the principle established that rehabilitation should occur UNLESS the neighborhood association deems the buildings a threat (which they do). So if the neighborhood deems the houses in question a threat, then they should not be rehabilitated, and if there are only two options: demolition or rehabilitation, then demolition would need to take place.

My guess as to why AC A is incorrect is because AC A only rules out rehabilitation as a possibility and does not establish that demolition will occur. AC B used some tricky language and it established that rehabilitation should occur and that makes sense, but unfortunately I read AC A first and understood it as establishing reason for demolition so I was biased in evaluating answer choice B. This question stem was especially odd so I am not very worried about getting confused by it but I would still like to understand this question better.

When I am blind reviewing on here after a full prep test am I supposed to be re-doing the questions to double check or just marking them with the tab button to show that I was not 100% correct on the answer?

Thanks!

Hi fellow students! I'm a bit confused about the question listed above. I don't understand how, based on the language in the stimulus, we were supposed to infer anything about cost. Can someone help explain why B is the correct answer as opposed to C or E?

Hi everyone,

I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year now. I've dabbled with 7Sage in the past but ended up going with a different program. I'm back because I love the podcasts and hear great things about the community.

3 months up to this June LSAT I had scored a 167 three times on PTs (along with an unfortunate 164 and 160). My original goal was 170, but I was feeling proud of myself so I decided to go through with June and aim for high 160s. Test day my nerves got the best of me. I didn't even finish games which I typically get a -0 to -2 on. This snowballed to affect LR, which I also didn't finish (usually -2 to -6). Never been great at RC but hoping to change that. After my meltdown I am considering on pushing back another cycle because I am backpacking Europe this summer. I will still be studying, but PTs will be impossible so August LSAT seems out of the question. I'm thinking of taking more time and evening increasing my goal into the 170s.

I am here just asking for any advice...what now? I have taken the most recent PTs and I usually understand the logic behind LR and LG (although I can always improve). I am unsure if it's worth it for me to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum at this point...is it? Or if anyone has a tutor they could connect me to that can help pinpoint what I need to work on so I'm not wasting too much time on the fundamentals? My priorities are currently to foolproof games, correct my weaknesses in LR and RC, and find concrete strategies for each section so I don't crumble on my next test day. I'll take any advice, thank you!!

Hi everyone! I am starting on my personal statement this week and I am really struggling to get started. If anyone has any advice that would be amazing

Hello all, just had a few quick questions about the LSAT on exam day. I am signed up for the August LSAT.

Even though there are only three graded sections as of 2020, we still take the full four section exam, correct?

What is the timeline for exam day? Should i expect a 5-10 minute break in between each section, or are they strictly back to back?

Also, has anybody actually legitimately prepared for the writing section? I've been studying since around January of 2022, and I haven't done a practice writing a single time. My score keeps on going up when I'm studying the graded portion, so i don't want to waste any time on something that seems to be far more inconsequential.

Would love to connect and hold each other accountable! It's tough balancing home responsibilities with studying, but I am confident we can do it with some support!
