By type I mean MBT, Sufficient Assumption, etc. Just curious if you guys first identify it, then solve the question in a way that is unique to each type of question (diagramming, finding the assumption, etc.). If so I think I will memorize most of the question stems before attempting another full LR section haha

By problem sets I mean the LR ones with 5 questions each, usually in the middle range (in the numbered list of problem sets). I feel like my brain is burning out too quickly considering that I would have to solve 50 LR questions on the real LSAT.

Also, how many "3+ difficulty" questions are there usually in a single LR section (approx. 25 questions total)? I'm getting -1 or -0 on problem sets with questions below or equal to "3 difficulty" but getting more than 1 wrong in sets with questions with "3+ difficulty" and am scared :/

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks guys.

Hi 7Sagers. I'm taking my first attempt in February and I was curious how people handled different instances of things going wrong during the test: things like misreading or missing a rule during a logic game, not having enough time to get to all your LR questions, not understanding an RC passage well, etc?

I'm trying to make a plan for how I would handle things if they go wrong in order to decrease my anxiety so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I am signed up for the March 2022 exam and would love any advice on my situation:

My goal score is a 170, and I have taken 6 full PTs (five in the 70s and one in the 80s) scoring in the 162-165 range with my blind review scores in the 172-177 range. My typical-timed breakdown is:

-1 to 0 LG

-4 to -3 in LR

-10 to -8 in RC

Given that we’re a little under 6 weeks away, would improving to my goal score before the March test be doable?

If so, what else could I be working on given the time span? My focus is surely on RC along with 1-2 full PTs/week with thorough review (and rewatching recorded takes). Thank you in advance! 🙏

Can I connect LSAT law hub with multiple third party test sites? I have mine connected with Powerscore already, but I feel like 7Sage is better and want to switch but do not want to lose all the questions and test taking history saved on powerscore...

Does anyone else like genuinely think differently after all these months of studying for the LSAT, like I cannot listen to people talk sometimes without evaluating their speech and criticizing their use of logic silently in my head LMAO the lawgic lessons are just always in my brain now

Sometimes I see like 10 quizzes back to back on the same topic in the curriculum. Once I believe I understand it, should I still be doing the quizzes, or skip over some and not do all of them... What worked for everyone else on here?

Hi there! I created a post a few days again about a PST based study group for the June 2022 LSAT specifically focused on those who are seeking a 180. Here is a link to the original post: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/31609/for-those-looking-for-a-180-discord-study-group-for-june-2022-exam/p1.

I'm making another post to reach more people who are interested in joining and being active participants on this discord server. Also, as the title mentions, Scott Milam, who scored a 180 himself, kindly accepted my offer to join and participate on the discord. He has his own channel where you can ask him questions directly. And in the near future I plan on organizing a group video call session to speak with him and hear more about his journey and what it was like getting a 180. He is very much looking forward to meeting other determined students with their goals set on a 180.

If you want to be part of a serious study group where we delve into LR, RC, and LG topics, talk strategy and logic, and review PTs together, please message me demonstrating your interest.

Thank you and look forward to being in contact.

Hi!

So, last week I took a practice test and scored a 171, which I was pretty surprised about. I've taken about 4-5 PTs in all and expected to be around the mid 160s given my previous scores.

Today, I took another test and got a 165.

Long story short, is it normal to have this type of fluctuation, or was the 171 a fluke? Do you all experience that type of change in score as well?

I felt equally confident during both, and I'm feeling discouraged now that my score didn't increase as much as I thought it had :(

Hello. If I have a firm grasp on LR before starting my subscription, what do I do once I purchase? Do I just create problem sets of 30?

holding accountability and improving score... hoping for over 160

Since LSAC is still administering the test in a digital format some of JY's tips and tricks that are integrated into the CC, that work great for a paper version of the test, do not translate well to the current format.

The main example I have in mind is when a question stem includes the word except in it. JY tells us to circle the four 'right' answers and bubble in the one 'wrong' answer on the answer sheet. This idea inside the digital test does not translate into high efficiency and clarity like it does on paper.

So, digital LSAT takers, studiers, and teachers what tips and tricks do you have that work particularly well for the digital format of the LSAT?

I know the actual LSAT right now is 4 sections (1 of them being experimental). I'm a bit confused though - if we take a 4 section preptest on 7Sage, we get a score that takes into account ALL sections. But the actual LSAT only scores us based on 3 sections right? Since one of them is experimental?

Am having trouble with this question - could someone let me know if I'm thinking about the stimulus (and ACs) correctly?

Stim:

P1: When old trees die, the decomposition releases their stored CO2

P2: Harvesting old trees makes more room for young trees (who can absorb more CO2 than old trees)

C: Harvesting old trees for manufacturing things would reduce CO2 (and therefore we'd avoid the whole decomposing issue?)

My thoughts: Okay, that seems like it makes relative sense. There's an assumption there that the CO2 release by decomposed old trees would be offset by the young trees that can absorb more CO2.

ACs:

A - Animal species? Irrelevant.

B - At first I immediately eliminated this AC because it just didn't seem to make any sense. After more reading, it seems like okay, if the harvested old trees were manufactured into products that would decompose super quickly, we could still run into the CO2 decomposition issue.

C - This was the AC I originally picked, thinking that since a young tree contains 10 CO2 vs an old tree that contains 40 CO2, then clearly the young tree can't offset the decomposition of an old tree. But I think this AC is actually irrelevant because of course a young tree at a snapshot would contain less CO2 than an old tree would - but this seems to attack P2?

D - Irrelevant, dont need to know where most of the CO2 in a forest comes from.

E - I feel like this AC is trying to get us to attack P2 in a similar way C is, but we'd have to also assume that size of trees has some sort of correlation with CO2 absorption.

So I just started training for the LSAT and I am only focusing on the Logic Games for the next couple weeks. Is it smart to take a single problem set in under 9 minutes, then review what I got wrong through the explanation videos? Or should I really challenge myself by taking more than game per set?

Guys i'm honestly embarrassed to ask this question because I should know this by now but... is physical scratch paper allowed for use in LG during the current digital lsat? or in any other section?

Hi everyone,

It seems this current cycle is not as hectic as the past one, but still a difficult one! I submitted my applications at end of November/beginning of December, and I’m still waiting to hear back from most schools. Would anyone be interested in having a (discord) group to discuss things we (could or should) do post application? Let me know!

Originally got this question wrong (picked E), but I think I understand why C is right - could someone confirm my thinking?

Stim:

P: Infant death rates have declined historically

C: But that doesn't necessarily mean the babies currently born are actually healthier now.

Hm, why is that? Is it that they are more likely to live but are still really weak when they're born?

ACs:

A - We're not focused on the rates for infant mortality. The stim already addresses some localities where the rates have increased.

B - This explains why 51%+ of the infants who are already part of that mortality rate died, but doesn't explain why the infants who survived aren't necessarily healthier.

C - Originally I eliminated this AC because I misunderstood the stimulus when it came to "infant mortality" and what actually meant to be part of that rate. But if the US is developing awesome tech that is able to keep babies alive, then that explains why babies are dying are lower rates - we're able to save them better, but nothing's really changed in their unhealthy state during birth.

D - Again, not focused on infant mortality rates

E - Originally picked this one because C just didn't click for me, so I tried to justify that E introduced some sort of alternative cause as to why they're not as healthy. But this has one huge issue: The stim is talking about babies at BIRTH and this AC is talking about babies who grow into toddlers, young kids, etc.

My laptop screen is small and the built-in webcam/mic is unreliable, so I called and spoke with someone at LSAC this morning to see if an external monitor connected with an HDMI cable to my closed laptop would be alright. They said no, and that my test would be flagged if I used an external monitor and a bluetooth webcam.

The built-in webcam/mic is unreliable because it may randomly turn-off (happens on Zoom occasionally). I guess I can request an LSAC tablet, but does anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Long story short I may need to consider the 5 attempts within 5 years limit and am writing up the appeal now.

The exam I am looking to appeal is a canceled score because I couldn't perform that day due to a medical episode, but it was too late to withdraw because the 24 hour period had passed.

Would love someone to give it a once over if they have time!

Is it possible to blind review a prep test that I took after I falsely stated that I blind reviewed it because I wanted to see what my score was right away? Or can I not go back and blind review it? Thanks! (I think it was probably a stupid idea not to blind review before seeing my score, but I was too impatient...)

Hi Everyone, I created a general LSAT discord if anyone is interested in joining.

https://discord.gg/gNHK93Nn

Hey everyone,

I'v read here that some people send in their applications in order to meet the deadline, but before receiving their LSAT score. Is this possible? Will it hurt my chances in getting in? How do I make sure that they know not to make a decision before they receive my score? Will I even be able to submit the application without the score?
