This keeps happening to me. My blind review is 14 points higher than my timed score.
I have received 50% extra time on the exam and would like to practice under these conditions. Is there anything I can do in "settings" option of 7Sage to edit the time allotted per section?
I just wanted to come on here and thank J.Y and the entire 7sage team for helping me achieve a goal that I never thought would be possible! I started studying seriously in July 2020 and proceeded to take the LSAT in June 2021. I thought it would be impossible to overcome the daunting 170 hump while also working full-time at a law firm, but with the tips and lessons uploaded on 7sage, I was able to achieve just that. I want to say, these videos and resources really really do work and is worth every penny. And I am happy to say my LSAT journey is over!!!! If I can do it, so can you.
Hey y'all
It's rare for an answer to attack the premise and be right, but how rare is it after PT75.
On question 75.3.13: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-75-section-3-question-13/
The correct answer choice contradicts a premise in the argument, now as this is against the learned approach of never attack the premises. How often is it seen in the rest of the prep tests? If it is often, how did you guys adjust your process of thought in order to get these type of questions right.
-Moreover, if y'all have some drills to be more consistent at getting 4/5 star difficulty questions right I would highly appreciate it!
I did the LSAT untimed to see whats my problem, and my problem is timing. How do I improve timing
Greetings,
I have a 4.2 LSAC GPA and a 163 LSAT. Evidently, I am an extreme example of a reverse-splitter, and I am unsure if I should write an addendum letter at all. I am currently applying to uPenn Carey Law, which I have heard favours splitters to some extent. If anyone has any advice, feel free to reply.
Hi everyone!
I saw someone else's post for tutoring and thought I could do the same. I plan on taking the November LSAT and I am also currently scoring 165+, so it wouldn't be anything seriously official. I am looking to have consistency in my LR section by working through questions and explaining using a specific process.
Let me know if you are interested!
I did the LR section of the 7sage course, and am a little better at identifying the correct answer, but still don't feel like I am where I should be, is the best way to improve in LR just to spam out drills?
Hey everyone, just want to hear everyone's thoughts on what worked for them in terms of how many study hours you put in per day without feeling burnt out?
When I look up the definition of "once", it works like "when" - a Group 1 Indiciator.
I wanted to start with some statements and let's assume them all true.
Somehow, I think "once" / "as long as" works the same way as "if and only if".
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I see that 7sage writes out the Lawgic for the majority of the logical reasoning questions and answer choices, which of course is very helpful in determining the correct answer. Can anyone that has taken the digital lsat before please advise if you are at a disadvantage because you can not write everything out? What was your solution to this?

Hi everyone,
So, I've been studying for the past month and a half or so and I can't seem to get logical reasoning down. I always, and I mean always, get only 50% of the questions right. The best I have ever done is a -10. I always go back and review what I got wrong, why I got it wrong, and watch every video explanation to the questions I got wrong. Usually it's due to reading errors, rushing, or just overthinking the answer choices. The last time I got 12/26 correct and had a complete mental breakdown. Took a break for one day and did a section just now and got -13.
Anyone have any advice out there if you just can't seem to have any sort of breakthrough on logical reasoning? I feel so demotivated, sad, and almost like giving up. I've read half of Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book and it did help at the start but it feels like nothing sunk in. I'm taking the November test and I'm absolutely panicking.
Hi,
Is anyone aware of when LSAC will release new PTs and when they will be uploaded on 7Sage subsequently?
Also, are the changes to LG section expected to be applied from 2023 cycle?
Thank you!
I've been doing a test each week on Khan Academy. I study the PowerScore LSAT Bibles everyday then take a practice test sometime on the weekends.
Week 1: 147
Week 2: 151
Week 3: 158 (I hit a high point and I really thought I was getting it)
Week 4: 157 (It wasn't too much of a difference so I wasn't too worried)
Week 5: 149
I don't understand how I'm getting worse. I don't think it can be fatigue since I'm only taking on test a week. My analytical reasoning got worse from 10 right to 7 right, my Logical Reasoning got worse from 19 right to 15 right, and my Reading comprehension pretty much stayed the same (around 20 right).
I've been really struggling with Logical Reasoning as I'd think I understand the answers then get fooled again every time. And while my reading comprehension has stayed the same, I would really like to get it better.
Has anyone else experienced this and can I get any better than 158 or is that probably the best score I'll get now?
Any advice would be great, thanks!****
I am taking the November test and need advice. I have been consistently studying and even got 2 lessons with a private tutor. I am finding myself making small improvements (finishing RC with better timing, making more confident answer choices, etc.) but am feeling stuck and distressed. LG is my best so I had my tutor help me with LR and RC... he definitely helped me and I am approaching them better but my scores remain the same.
Trying not to spiral (obviously failing at that) but I have a GPA of 3.89 and good softs - I just need this score. I really need to break into at least a 165+ and right now PT'ing between 160-163. I guess I just need advice on how to change my approach or some encouragement to just keep trying because I feel like I exhausted every single option.
Hi everyone, I planned on taking the October exam, but to reschedule due to illness. I am averaging low 170s on my PT's and wanted to pair up with a committed study buddy for the November exam. My strengths are logic games. Working on RC. Goal score is 172. If these stats align with your interest, please hit me up!
so I definitely feel like I did worse on the Oct LSAT than the sept LSAT. Would it be smart to purchase score preview and cancel that score or should I keep it? How would law school view a lower score vs a canceled score?
How do I tell if I need to pick all the game pieces that could fulfill the given condition, or if I need to select the answer choice that is a valid scenario? For this question (Which one of the following could be all of the solos that are traditional pieces?), I thought I needed to list all the solos that could be traditional pieces, which would be "second, third, fourth, fifth." But that wasn't an answer choice and I got extremely confused. I ended up rereading the game and all the rules a bunch of times and ran out of time for this game. For this question, I believe I simply needed to select the answer that depicts a valid game board. What is the difference between this question and a question that requires listing all possible solos that could be traditional pieces? I often cannot tell apart the wording between these two question types.
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm applying to York University which has a Part B to discuss diversity and equity factors. I'm curious to understand how "optional" are these optional statements? Is this something encouraged or would it hurt my chances if I don't choose to write one?
Thanks!
Was wondering if there is a breakdown of the average number of LR questions by question type? The LSAT Trainer book has a page that shows how many of each category is “normally” on each exam. however the categories dont match perfectly with the 7sage curriculum. I figured 7sage must have a breakdown so that we know which categories will have 5-10 questions, and which will have 0-2.
Help! I always get these wrong and they seem so simple. I don't understand what I'm missing. Any advice?
Hey everyone. I hope you all are doing well. I wanted to offer help for any students currently scoring under a 155 on their practice exams or are new and in need of assistance. I am pretty consistently scoring 165+ but I think it would help me to offer assistance in explaining questions and offering strategies to others. Pretty casual and of course no charge, so feel free to pm me. Thanks.
Hi two questions regarding my GPA for my applications, all help is greatly appreciated thank you!
First - should I put my GPA on my resume? and if so, should I put the LSAC CAS one or my academic GPA, or both with labels?
My LSAC CAS gpa is 0.03 higher than my academic one from my undergraduate school, so not much of a difference, but for some schools the LSAC one is above median and the academic one is below the median.
Secondly - in the the academic section of some schools application it asks for GPA, so for this, which one should I put or should I put both with labels?
I was admitted to UVA Law this morning and I am 100% certain I would not have accomplished that without the help of 7Sage for both the LSAT and admissions prep. I took my LSAT from a 163 diagnostic to a 174 in August and read everything I could about writing the PS, DS, and addenda. I'm so grateful for this resource and encourage everyone to take full advantage of it!!!
