Hello everyone. I was hoping to see if I could get some tips for in-out games. I’m currently going through the CC on it and honestly, many of the explanations are just confusing me even further and feel overdone. I’m really struggling the most with the “harder” and “hardest”difficulty level in-out games. I just cant finish these on time at all despite being able to go back during BR to get most of the answers right. My main problem is knowing when to divide the game board into separate worlds/translating some of the rules/knowing when they’re activated or not. Should I just keep drilling these games until I get faster or is there something else that I am missing? If someone could drop some tips on how to improve at this I’d greatly appreciate it!

I can consistently get -3/4 on LR and RC, but I struggle with getting less than 2 wrong. My goal is 170+ so the difference between missing 3 vs missing 2 per section matters. When I blind review, I never seem to realize what I did to get the answer wrong, I only understand after seeing the explanation. Usually its very minor things such as a word that makes the answer less strong, or maybe the right answer was just stronger. Regardless, I know there has to be some way to get better and I am stuck. Any tips?

Hello everyone. I was hoping I could get some thoughts on score fluctuations. For context, I usually score in the low 150s (sad, I know), however, my last PT was a 158 (BR: 164). Is there a chance this was an outlier? Under my analytics page, my score has slowly been increasing every PT but for the most part there are fluctuations in the curve on some PTs. Last week, I scored the 158 but exactly one week before that I had scored a mere 149 while scoring a 148 the week before that one. Could this be a sign of improvement? Or a simple outlier? I guess I won't know until I PT again but was hoping I could get some opinions anyway! Thanks.

Hi, I'm a freshman for lsat. Is there anyone who is able to help with my question about whether the drills on 7sage are free or not. Many thanks in advance.

I'm struggling on how to foolproof previous LGs. For example I'm trying to redo a sequencing LG from PT32 section 3 game 3. I'm trying to create drills and I am unable to find that exact LG to add to my drill. Could someone help me out?

Anyone have/ know of a set of flash cards for words which queue up different types of questions?

I know it seems trivial, but I want to have the queue words memorized so I can just look at a question and know BAM it's a "sufficient assumption" question. Sometimes the wording can take me a sec to identify, and seconds count.

What's wrong with (C)?

"inner turmoil" suggests that the work was concerned with emotion, and Lichtenstein was rebelling against the fading emotional power of abstract art (lines 28-30)

"bold lines/primary colors" suggests that the work utilized pop art techniques, a movement that Lichtenstein was definitely a part of

Hi everyone,

After poring over more than six hundred exceptional applications, we're proud to announce the winners of the 2022 7Sage 7K scholarship. We are grateful to everyone who took the time to apply. Every single applicant was deserving, but the nine we chose moved us deeply. We think the world will be a better place when they earn their law degrees.

The winner of the 7Sage 7K scholarship is Webaza Nicholas who will receive a scholarship of $7,000 to defray the cost of a legal education, a pro bono Admissions Consulting package, and a pro bono 12-month subscription to 7Sage’s LSAT prep course.

The runner up is Justin Dunbar who will receive a scholarship of $1,000, a pro bono Admissions Consulting package, and a pro bono 12-month subscription to 7Sage’s LSAT prep course.

The other awardees are Amaris Buser, Jessica Dam, Nour Kalbouneh, Ruben Pinuelas (who said we can use their real names), lawtinx-1 (who preferred that we use their username), and two students who wished to remain completely anonymous.

Altogether, we are awarding $8,000, nine admissions consulting or editing packages, and nine LSAT prep packages.

To everyone who didn't win: thank you so much for your applications. All of you, without exception, will bring something unique and important to the legal profession. You rock.

How do you guys each approach an RC passage while reading? Do you do the memory method every time or write down a low-res summary? I'm averaging -7 and would like to be down to -3! (And ideally take less time doing it) Thank you!

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following date at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

Starting to stress out because my scores are regressing and October LSAT is exactly a month away. Scored 170 once and haven't been able to since, ranging between 164-169, 163 being the worst in the last few months. My original aim was 175 (aiming for T-14 schools) but after studying for more than a year, I'm just so tired. I feel like I have made so much progress in terms of understanding the test but my scores do not reflect this (although I scored 158 last two real exams so not reverting back to 150s is a good sign I guess). I am lowering my goal to 170 which is not a low score by any means but I'm afraid T-14 will not be possible for me with anything lower than this. What can I do to make sure I am able to score this on the real thing?

I think my main problem is not knowing what to do after BR and going through the wrong answers. I BR thoroughly and my BR scores are almost always in the mid-170s (although for PT 90 this past week was 168). I watch the explanations for questions I missed and I was unsure about. However, what do I do next? I have tried writing in the wrong answer journal the way to approach missed questions but I don't think they have helped. I take one test every Saturday and BR thoroughly but maybe I'm not doing the necessary studying and drilling the days between those PTs. The day I take the test should be the least hectic day, correct? At the moment, it feels like the most. How should I be studying or drilling on the days I'm not taking a PT? Should I go back to fundamentals, drill a question type or passage or take full section tests every day? Maybe I'm not taking enough section tests (I take maybe one or two the whole week) because whenever I start the full PT, it feels like oh shit what do I do now so maybe the section tests would be helpful in establishing good habits under timed conditions.

It feels like I am nearing the finish line but haven't achieved remotely what I set out to. Please help, any and all advice appreciated!

I started a Discord for the 2022-2023 cycle. Please comment if your interested!

Hello everyone. I am considering investing in 7sage tutoring for the November LSAT but would like to hear first if anyone finds it helpful/beneficial before I invest in it.

Is the answer choice of a NA question supposed to be a necessary assumption only between premises and conclusion or it can also be a necessary assumption between premises?

I've put off asking for a lor for so long, because it completely stresses me out. I know it's in their job description, but I feel like my relationships with profs are too weak. I need to hurry up because I'm taking the October test... Would anyone be willing to share how they asked their professors for a letter of rec and what exactly to include in the email? It's been a couple of months since graduation and I went to a large school, so I'm not sure how to address that as well.

Hi I'm currently trying to get a team together to exchange ideas and help one another. Please join only if you're serious.

Yesterday I took the real thing and it was rough. I only started studying at the end of July, so I know I need much more practice, but I am just really discouraged because I want to apply for fall 2023 and I am afraid my lsat score won’t be enough to go where I want. I could apply next year, but I don’t want to wait two whole years to attend law school. I am going to retake in November, but that’s still not much time. Not sure if this is the right path for me

Hi 7Sage peeps, does anyone know if we're allowed to use a monitor while connected to a laptop? Specifically, only the monitor screen will be in use, while the laptop screen will be completely off. ProctorU states:

"Multiple monitors/displays are not supported. If you have more than one monitor, you will need to disconnect all but one."

In my case, where only the monitor screen is on and the laptop screen is off, would that be an acceptable setup according to the requirements?

According to a previous discussion post, the user was told on test day that he could NOT use a laptop/monitor setup, despite verifying with ProctorU that his setup was acceptable prior to the test. That post can be found here:

Any answers that could shed some definitive light on this question are greatly appreciated!

Hello everyone! Was hoping to see if those who average -5 or less on any average LR section can drop some tips that we can all learn from! :) What can help someone averaging minus 7-10 bridge that gap to -5 or less?

Hey everyone! I took the LSAT for the first time in September, and been very frazzled past couple of days trying to figure out which one of my logic games was scored. One was relatively-ish easy, the other...let's not talk about it. I know PowerScore usually goes into which ones they think were scored and was wondering if anyone knows how long after they usually get those out. Thank you!

Hi there,

I was working until November 2019 in a law firm and got one of my bosses to write me a letter of recommendation back then. She sent the letter directly to LSAC and it is uploaded on to my account.

I had planned to study for the LSAT sooner, but I was in an accident and spent most of 2020 and 2021 in physical therapy. I started studying this year as I do some part time consultancy work alongside. I got one of my professors to write me a LOR last month.

I wanted to know if the LOR from 2019 would need to be updated again when I apply (Which I think most likely would be this cycle or the next depending on when I can manage a good LSAT score). Both the LORs are already uploaded on to my CAS account.

I was in physical therapy and did not work for 2020-2021. I would think that it'd make sense for the first LOR to be dated 2019, right when I quit my job; as also because the bosses would have a better picture of what I was working on back then and the feedback given by clients would be relevant as of that date?

The letter is already uploaded on to CAS, so it would also be a pain to ask my boss to update and resend the letter to LSAC - Although I am on good terms with her but wouldn't want to ask for a favour unless absolutely necessary.

Most grateful if someone could confirm this for me. Thank you!

STATEMENT 1: "A work of architecture, if it is to be both inviting and **functional...

inviting + functional for public use --> ~obtrusive

contrapositive: obtrusive --> ~inviting or ~functional for public use

STATEMENT 2: "Modern architects, plagued by egoism...

We are thus told that modern architects (because they let their strong personalities take over their work) are producing buildings that are not functional for public use.

Answer choice B states that "modern architects who let their strong personalities take over their work produce buildings that are not unobtrusive." In other words, they produce obtrusive buildings.

The stimulus tells us that modern architects are producing buildings that are not functional for public use. We know from the contrapositive of the first statement that if a building is obtrusive, then it is either not inviting or it is not functional for public use. Does it follow that a building that is not functional for public use is obtrusive? No it does not: that would constitute a mistaken reversal of the conditional statement.

Please #help

After months and months of study! This was the last section to really come into clarity. Wanted to post this to let anyone out their struggling know that you can overcome that obstacle! Keep pushing through, and try different avenues. It took a combination approach for me to figure this one out. Very thankful to 7sage and my tutor for all the help.

Hello, I took the August 2022 LSAT and the LG section had me very confused. I had never seen anything like it and when kept looking around at my practice tests for something similar, I was still unable to find something like the one I had on the test day. Would you be able to provide any assistance in pointing me in the correct direction, I do not want to make the same mistake on my next test.
