Last week I scored a 179 on a PT in the 70's. The score completely blindsided me as my previous highest score was a 170 and I'd been scoring in the high 160's for the past three PTs. I am of course very excited about this score but I am panicking about maintaining it. I haven't taken another preptest since but I've been drilling logical reasoning in the 80's (old practice tests I took over a year ago) this week and my LR score is dropping significantly. I typically score -2 to -0 but in these early 80's PT's I'm scoring -4 to -6. I am panicking about my next PT score dipping back into the 160's. I need a 170-high to offset my low GPA and even though I know I should feel confident about scoring a 179 on a practice test it's honestly made my anxiety worse.

Can anyone give some advice on how to handle score drops in the 80's? I am taking the August test and feel like time is running out to prepare effectively. Also, any advice you can give on managing stress? This is the most stressed I've ever felt in this process and I've been studying for a long, long time.

Hi 7Sagers,

How would the following statement be diagrammed?

"The tornadoes in the area are not the only natural disasters happening in the country."

Does this statement have a useful representation using conditional logic? How would "not the only" be represented when diagramming a conditional statement? This was not pulled from a PrepTest, just something I thought of while going through the Logic section of the CC.

Thanks!

Alright here's my dilemma:

I just asked two people to write my letters of recommendation for law school. Assuming they say yes, most websites I've read recommend THREE letters of recommendation. However, I don't have that close of a relationship with any other professors/TAs.

I do play a club sport for my university and have a decent relationship with our coach. Should I ask him to write me a letter or is that too casual? He 100% knows my worth ethic, determination, etc., which could look good on a rec letter. Alternatively, do I ask a professor I've talked to maybe once, or just leave it at two people?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Does anyone know if the glass wall rule prohibits all glass walls, or is it acceptable to have one glass wall (or door with a window)?

Despite the option for in-person testing on the August 2023 test, remote testing still seems like the most risk averse option [considering the variable number of variables (pun intended) involved with Prometric centers]. With that being said, I'm having some difficulty finding a space that definitively meets all of the LSAC/proctoring requirements.

The private rooms in my office building have three solid walls and one glass wall, and the same is true for most study rooms at my university and nearby public libraries.

Hi, I was wondering how I can gain access to CC v2? Also I'm 60% done with the LR curriculum on CC v1 and I'm wondering if I should make the switch to v2 now or if I should reference v2 as a refresher?

Anyone notice the 7sage drills aren't showing the options that is usually shows on the top left or showing the question difficulty. I don't know if it the site itself or my laptop. I restarted and even used a separate browser and even logged out and back in but nothing.

Hi I'm looking for a couple of people to review RC and LR with. I have solved over 50 PTs but decided to cancel June last minute to really hone in on RC and get LR to a consistent -1/2. I'm going to be starting from PT 1 and resolving and reviewing at least 1-2 RC sections over 2-3 days. I plan to really intensively go over RC so if anyone is interested in consistently doing this to (for review/accountability), please message me!

Hello,

I for some reason cannot submit any of my drills to see the answers or do blind review and I am also missing the check marks to all my classes in the syllabus.

I took April's test and could have done better.

Has LSAC released it given its been time since it has been released.

I would like to review it and see how I could have done better.

If someone knows where I can find it- I's appreciate it if I was pointed in the right direction.

Thank You.

Hey all,

I'm having trouble translating the conclusion of the argument into logical form, perhaps because of the word "solely." The conclusion states that "it is solely due to ... peppers that he became ill."

I interpreted solely as only (and therefore required), so my diagram was like this:

~ peppers --> ~ sick

sick --> peppers

This is contrary to the explanation here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-14-section-4-question-21/

Can someone explain how I should interpret solely?

Thanks!

I took a drill (first time here), and there is an option to view explanation for the questions I got right. However, for the question I got wrong, there is only this option to post in the discussion forum. Any idea where I can view the explanation?

Will the remote LSAT start time be adjusted for my time zone (Hawaii Standard time)?

What does the remote LSAT format look like? I've tried looking up screenshots or a simulation but haven't found anything. Is 7sage's format similar in terms of layout? Does it have highlight, underline, ability to cross out answers, or any other tools like 7sage?

Hi everyone,

I just took LSAT 57 - Section 3 - Question 23 about "brushless car wash" and I really don't understand how C can be correct. To me all of the answer choices were wrong and C seemed to me like a big inference (i.e. both brush and brushless car wash could leave a visible scratches on new and old cars, but "brushless" could leave less).

Any tips on how to answer this type of questions?#help

How does this answer make sense?

Hi all,

Noticed 7sage always has 2 LR instead of the random RC/LR/LG section for Prep Tests. My understanding is that PTs can have 2 RC or 2 LG or 2 LR. 7 Sage always gives me 2 LR with one section being significantly harder than the other LR. Where are they getting this second LR section if the actual exams will gave RC or LG? I am confused.

I hope I'm not the only one who has had this issue. I just started my LSAT journey and I find that, often, when I get an MSS question wrong it is because I misread one or two words in an answer choice and therefore misinterpreted that answer choice.

Does anyone have any tips to avoid this in MSS questions and in the future on the LSAT? Slowing down and reading carefully seems like an obvious solution, except we are timed and I don't want to waste time triple-checking myself either.

Is it correct that 7sage does not have explanation videos for all questions of every PT? I took PT2 and blind reviewed it. It seems like most of the questions do not have any explanation video, it is either "Discuss" or a video of zoom recording by other instructors (not J.Y. Ping). Are there just no explanation videos for PTs in general, except for some"difficult questions"? Is there a more productive and efficient way to study for it besides googling for each question or posting questions about it?
