Is anyone in the mid-160's range interested in meeting after 7pm CST on Sun-Thursday nights to go over 2 games and 10 LR? Trying to reach 175 by August.

really confused about this question. cant even diagram the stem. any help appreciated

Posted this as a comment under the Problem Set, but am really unsure of why my reasoning is incorrect so looking for help. Won't add the question here so it doesn't act as a spoiler but I've referenced the question in the post title.

I've pasted my comment below:

"My only qualm with the elimination of E is that if there's a possibility for an earthquake to never happen, or happen less frequently, is that not safer than one that just occurred, but won't for another 99,999 years? I've tried to show my thinking with the comparison below:

Nuclear site 1: 1 earthquake every 10 million years, last occurred 1 million years ago (definitely before living memory).

Nuclear site 2: 1 earthquake every 100,000 years, last occurred yesterday.

Even if an earthquake just occurred at Nuclear site 2, the next one would still occur before the next one at Nuclear site 1. In this case, it would not be safer to build at Nuclear Site 2, even if an earthquake just occurred at site 1?

I understand why C is necessary, but given the reasoning above, don't see how to rule out AC E."

Hi everyone, I apologize if this is a bit long. I'm going to begin taking practice tests soon to hopefully take the test around August to October of this year. I've been researching and debating how best to do practices tests between LawHub and 7Sage. I now seek the opinion of the 7Sage community.

I am leaning towards doing them all on LawHub to use the correct testing format in the self-paced mode. This would involve pausing each section (instead of submitting it) once my 35-minute window is up to avoid answers since LawHub doesn't hide your score/correct or incorrect answers. Then I would blind review the paused sections and input my answers on the 7Sage convert to paper option. Of course, on the other hand, doing the tests on 7Sage is nice since you don't see your score and have the blind review interface.

Another dilemma is since LawHub has all of the PTs in the same order (I believe it's LG LR LR RC), is that another reason 7Sage is better since their tests are in the actual order real tests were? Does anyone have experience doing only ones in the same order on LawHub, or do you purposely do them on 7Sage to have different section orders? I'm unsure if it would be a good thing to take every practice test in the exact same order on LawHub.

Also, during my research, I had seen a post by a 7Sage staff member on a Reddit forum who recommended that we take 90% of our PTs on here and 10% on LawHub.

What method do you guys personally do, and what website do you use to take practice tests?

Hi everyone!

I can't see any explanations for LR an LG for this PT, only RC.

Do they not exist or is it a technical error?

Thank you for the help!

Hi there,

For the past couple days, the video explanations for Preptest 86 have been missing. I'm so confused on if this is an issue from my part or if other people are experiencing the same thing. If the 7Sage admin could let me know, that would be great :) Studying for April right now and I really wanted JY's insight on the reading comp passages, but they're nowhere to be found.

For context, I am taking the April 30 LSAT. Is there such a thing as taking too many practice tests between now and the actual test (11 days) that would do more harm than good? Doing it for the endurance practice.

Or would I be better off doing fewer practice tests and more drills on weaker areas instead?

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I am currently confused on how many scored sections of the 2022 LSAT there are. Is it true there are only 3 sections that are scored on the LSAT exam? From what I understand, the second Logical reasoning question is not scored and will not effect the overall score. Is this correct?

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I am still waiting to hear back from two law schools. Is there such circumstance to reach out to the admissions committee to extend seat deposit deadline given I am still waiting to hear back from some law schools? I did submit my applications back in December.

Thank you for your time and good luck! :)

I'm experimenting with printing out practice problems, timing myself, doing BR, and checking results. I've done other sections electronically, but experimenting with being able to circle/cross off/diagram on paper. I'll change back in a couple of weeks to be in sync with actual test taking format. But any way to put this score into the sections to be saved in a not time consuming way?

I have been accepted to both schools with FULL TUITION SCHOLARSHIP.

I am having a difficult time deciding.

Which school would YOU choose to go?

JY Ping draws out the game board/game boards in his Logic Game videos. I guess we can say that is the standard way of drawing these; however, I have came to a conclusion that I will never draw the exactly same game board when I tackle the practice test problems. In that essence, is everyone's game board slightly different even though we are using the teachings of the same instructor (JY Ping)?

What does "in an absence of a threat to anyone's health or safety" have to do with anything?

Does your gpa matter more than your lsat score?

Can someone help me out with this question!! I don't get how the answer choices relate to the stimulus???

Greetings! Getting ready to take a PT (here we go!) and I see the Simulate Modern option. Help me out here by explaining what I'll be calling 'LSAT evolutions'. Based on my current understanding: There were 5 total sections (1 unscored section), then they offered Flex (3 section exam - no longer available, but online option to test still is) and now they have permanently kept 4 sections moving forward with 1 of those 4 being the unscored? Goodness...

How does AC A weaken this? I chose AC D but I didn’t get the relevance of A/couldn’t translate what it was saying.

Hi everyone! I'm struggling with LR at the moment. I'm working my way through the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy, and am working through the CLIR-Translation Drills in the book at the moment (been using 7sage mainly for practice sets, LG, and analytics to date). I'm trying to improve my "active reading" skills and memorization -- I'm a big annotater and note-taker, and I like taking my time with reading to fully understand concepts, but I know that that won't cut it on the LR section of the LSAT. The issue with my progress so far on the Loophole and with its CLIR-Translation drills is that it's unclear if I'm doing the CLIR-Translation Drills correctly and therefore hard to tell if I'm heading in the right direction? Maybe I just need to be more patient, but I'm wondering if anyone has been in my position before/ or if anyone has experience with the Loophole? Do they advise I push through until I really get to a place where I really feel like I know the content? I REALLY want to improve my LR score so any help would be appreciated.

Hello there,

I was wondering if there are any existing study groups in the Houston area for the August/September 2022 LSAT. I am about to finish the core curriculum by April. Because I am still a full-time employee, I am looking forward to joining study groups in person or online or meeting study buddies available on the weekend. My current goal is to hit 165 or above in the LSAT exams of this fall.

Hi 7Sage,

Some people might disagree with this, which is understandable, but after doing many practice tests, I feel like some practice tests are much harder than others. I understand it is standardized, but I felt like PT 62 was way harder than the 11 other PTs i've taken in the past.

For example, on PT 53 I got 3 LR Qs wrong. But on PT 62, I got 13 wrong! I usually average -5 to -6 on LR, so this would extremely weird and I felt like PT 62 was the hardest PTs I have ever taken. PT 62 was so hard I felt like it was so different.

Are some tests just outliers to the rest?

Thanks!

Hi guys, looking for some advice on LGs. I have been working on them for a few weeks now (ok, like two, lol), and haven't seen much improvement on time. I can answer most/all of the questions successfully (maybe -1 or -2 on a bad day) but my speed isn't improving (or at least not much). I diagram on time I think (a minute or two-ish), but I think what's bogging me down is the time it takes to try out must/can be true q's or must/can be false q's, as well as sometimes making new, more difficult inferences for questions with new if's. Idk if it is just that though, because I am taking more time answering every question than I should be. I've just been drilling problem sets, but not sure if there is a better method I should be looking into. Any advice would be super helpful! Thanks.

Hello 👋🏾, looking to form or be a part of a study group for the June 23 LSAT. if interested or already know of a group who can hold one another accountable and make this test fun. please inbox or respond to this post.

Thank you and

Does someone mind explaining why D can't be right? I think A makes sense but also feel like paranoid, in the stimulus, is a condition that keeps changing along with changes in society.

Maybe it's because it doesn't most strongly support the answer, but idk I can still see it so would love to hear from others re their thinking. TIA!

Hi everyone,

I just finished reviewing LR questions for PT92 and I had a really hard time with questions 23 and 25. After reviewing the video explanation, I realized they're phenomenal examples of focusing on the big picture of the stimulus, parsing it out from the details, and also focusing on the cookie-cutter flaws. Can anyone recommend questions that are similar to them that would be good to practice?

Thank you!
