I would like to ask this before I begin taking PTs consistently. I know that there is an option to take 3 sections of the PT as opposed to all 4 due to the changing of the scoring of the tests. Yet, when I am studying is it better to take all 4 sections? Thank you in advance

I decided not to work this summer to study full time for the test with hopes to take the exam in August. How many hours can I realistically study in a day without burn out? Right now I am doing about six hours a day. Is anyone else in a similar position? Advice? Thank you!

I've been taking LR sections untimed and generally get between -0 and -2. Depending on the overall difficulty of the section I usually take between 35-45 minutes. However, when I take timed practice tests my accuracy goes down. I notice that many of the questions I missed were because I overlook certain details that would've clued me into the right answer, and on blind review I usually catch all of these errors. Any tips as to how one should generally go about building up their speed?

Hey all,

I've noticed that, when there is a question such as "Which of the following, if true, determines all [placements within the given game]?" the answer choice includes the placement of the free agent, which is often the last piece that goes unplaced since the other answer choices leave it up to question. Therefore, I've begun testing answer choices with looking for the one or ones that tell where the free agent goes. This has sped up my elimination process significantly.

Anybody else see this?

Hello! I hope all is well! Does anyone know what order of question types JY recommends to study for LR?

I'm sure it goes: 1. MP/MC, 2. MSS, 3. AP, 4. WEAKEN, 5. STRENGTHEN etc... (If i messed up that order please correct me lol)

But what goes after those (according to 7sages advice)? Thanks!

Happy studying!

I was looking through discussion threads of when individuals plan to take their LSAT. I only decided about two weeks ago after a gap year I would like to apply for Fall 2023, and since have been doing my best to study often and effectively. I was under the impression it would be okay to take in September, but it seems most plan to take it in June or August. Am I considerably behind if I plan on September? I realize that applications open around October so that would be a quick turn around, would that be a bad thing if I feel I really need the entire summer to study?

So I have been studying for the June 2022 LSAT for roughly 6 months during school and have not been able to dedicate as much time as I would like. I am aiming to get above a 170+. I spend most of my time drilling sections, not taking as many PTS. I have gotten a 173 as my highest score on a PT (only once) and have broken into the 170+ range two others times both 172. Right now I typically get the anywhere between a 165-170 on my PTS. Should I wait to take the LSAT in August to try improving my score and using the summer to study? Or should I go for the June test and use my one time look ahead for a score cancellation for first time test takers? I am conflicted because I feel like I am right on he cusp of getting where I want to be and I have three more weeks until the June 11 test. Just wondering what anyone else's thoughts were on this! Thanks!

So i'm not the BEST at this test! In fact, i'm taking the June test in 3 weeks. But! i consistently PT in the mid 160s, and I figured that something like this would help me understand my thought process if I have someone to explain it to (maybe enough to reach my goal of 170!). Hit me up even if you just started studying as it always helpful to go over the basics. I get -0 in LG, -3 to -5 in LR and -4 to -7 in RC. In blind review I always hit 170.

Please DM me for those interested! I still have availability open.

Hey y'all,

When I first started studying for the LSAT, my diagnostic score was a 157, and my early prep test results were all in the mid-150 range. It's a perfectly good score, but in order to have a stronger application and a better chance at scholarships, I knew that I wanted to improve on it. I completed the 7Sage curriculum over about 6 months by working at it for a few hours every day after work. After completing the curriculum, my practice test scores were almost always above 170, and my actual April 2022 test score came back as a 169. I'm really happy with it. My diagnostic test score placed me in the 66th Percentile. With 7Sage, my actual test score was in the 95th percentile of all test takers. A 29 percent increase! Wild. I'm really proud of myself, and really grateful to 7Sage for making this curriculum [relatively] accessible. I feel confident that the money I invested in this online resource will pay off with larger scholarship opportunities moving forward, which is a good trade.

I'm sharing this as encouragement, because reading these kinds of posts from other users really boosted my morale when I first started with 7Sage. The curriculum is ridiculously long and appears really daunting when you start out! But at least in my case, it helped so much. Good luck to everyone who is still on (or just starting) this course! Stick with it!

Sincerely,

I believe this should be a weaken question not flaw. Manhattan says its weaken too. Besides, the right answer choice E is giving a new cause- that of not being extroverted as a person OVER astrology affecting them.

I started LSAT with 144, then I was stuck at 154-155. I remember drilling LG for 6 months still getting -6/-7, started with -16. Thoughts were coming into my mind. Was this the end of it? Was I mentally limited? Then I came across this book "Genius in all of us"- free downloadable. This book I found out from 7sage users scoring 170s. I read it and learned brain can reshape. So, I said to myself, well maybe I do not have a head start, but if a restructuring in a brain is required then let it be. I started pushing myself more and more in a hope to catch a break. Eventually, I did. I started hitting -0 LG and then eventually -0 in 30 minutes. Next up was LR, Again I stumbled. Stuck at -10, why could not I do it asking myself. One word change in a stimulus is the flaw, darn is that even possible? After 3-4 months of straight drilling along with JY reviews and Manhattan prep review, I went down to -3 consistent, started with -17. In my real LSAT, Term shift showed up and I laughed after catching it. Next was RC. I could not even understand the passages. I said to myself can anyone? Obviously, I learned the hard way, I was the dumb one. Being a science background, I had it easy with those, but Law and Art/humanity remained a challenge. I did 7sage law preview 3 months along with RC and defined most recurrent words. Law passage and science passage became easy. Art did not and I screwed that passage in the real test also, but ultimately, went from 144 to high 160s on practice. I did get in 160s on real also. Ultimately, self learning is probably not the most efficient, however, doable. Tutor may cut the time significantly. Either way, if you are in a position I was, read the book, empower your mind, fall get up, fall get up, do it 500 times if it needs, probably will need if going into 170 (given 99 tests), but change the dam brain if needed and get what you want.

I studied LSAT for about 11 months in span of 13 months.

Hello! I am currently at Introduction to Logic in the course, however I have experience studying in another course so I do have an understanding of each section for the most part. I have taken one timed prep test and have been studying for three weeks now. I wanted to wait until I had a basic understanding of each question type before taking timed prep tests as to not burn out, lose motivation due to subpar results, etc..

I work a full time job on top of volunteer hours. Will one to two prep tests a week be fine? Should I start now or should I build up a better understanding of each section through 7Sage? It's been a great help so far but I worry that I am wasting my time. I'll admit I started studying a little later than some might advise.

Thank you.

Very best,

Belle

Hello! My question was related to how it would be best recommended to get through the curriculum. Is it worth my time to do all of the problem sets in a given unit, or should I do a few problem sets and move on to the next unit to cover more ground? I am scared I might be spinning my tires if I do too many problem sets and waste time that could be used learning about different question types or different sections, but I don't want to miss out on something if it is important to do all of the questions. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I've noticed lately that my accuracy on the arts RC passages (art movements, literature, architecture, etc.) tends to be lower than my accuracy on all the other types. My best explanation for this is that I simply have a harder time absorbing and comprehending the information presented in these passages due to having had little exposure to the subject matter (I'm majoring in math and philosophy). It's taking too much brains-space to try and read for structure as well as keeping details in mind for those questions that ask for specifics (I scan the questions before reading the passage). I think reading some literature similar to those arts passages might help with this problem by giving me more exposure. Does anyone have recommendations as to where I could start to look?

Taking the LSAT in August btw
