I need advice on how I should go about studying. I plan on taking the June LSAT and am starting studying now. I have three other materials outside of 7Sage that I will be using too, and I want to study 18 hours each week. How should I get through everything I can and set up a study schedule? I tried going through the syllabus, but this will take a really long time. My weakest suit is the logic games, then logical reasoning, then reading comprehension. Should I start with lessons on logic games even though the syllabus has these near the end?

PSA

Like okay? Ms. LSAT? Like.. what's the deal?

I've been simping hard for you. ALL DAY. You're the first thing I think of when the sun shines; the last thing I think of when the sun's down. On my drive to work and back I'm listening to people praise you. Every conversation I have with friends or family revolves around you and our potential future together. Even now we're inseparable; we're literally always together!

We always have your favorites. Blaze pizza (Hawaiian style, don't @ us), Raising Canes', Chic-fil-A, Chipotle, Bossam, Pho, Halal Guys.. whatever you wanted we ate! (I'm actually lying. I always choose... but it's cuz you never tell me what you want (-.-'))

I remember when the 50s and 60s actually made me feel like the feelings were mutual.. My growth was exponential, and I started to envision a realistic future together. I even decided January 14th was the date where I'll truly and wholeheartedly... y'know? But DAMN.

PT 72 Passage 2... like that was "the easiest of the section" (?) JY King, pls. PLS. Section 2 and 3 - LR like.. I thought I knew you inside and out but I was so wrong. Game 4 - like okay? Like.. why you playing games?! I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOU asdfahsdkfja QUIT PLAYIN' WITH ME.

ANYWAY. Good luck to all the 7Sage preppers. Here's one of the most profound poems from one of the most intelligent and wise sages in our generation. I hope you find some inspiration from this mans! Let's just freaking do this!!

"It's about drive; it's about power.

We stay hungry; we devour.

Put in the work; Put in the hours.

Let's take what's ours."

I feel like I've improved so much and will demolish this exam but on the same coin, what if i forget that ONE inference or what if i come across the easiest LG and just panic because the wording is weird? I know i can do this, I'm not going to take this test again! i just need a whole lot of prayers. Pleaseeeeee. Any prayers or advice would be helpful. Thank you:)

Having a hard time understanding this question and how AC D bridges the assumed gap between the premise and conclusion. #help

Hey everyone! I am looking for anyone interested I am looking to start a discord and blind review tests once a week together starting Jan 16 (obligations next weekend) and also to regularly discuss questions we find difficult. I have been doing LSAT alone for all this time and my high score is a 170 and I plan on going much higher. I know there are lots of other students out there who have been studying alone and I think collaboration would be a good change to my study routine. I work full time, so this would be primarily focused on a sunday or saturday prep test, but then we can put challenging questions or seek general advice in the discord and go from there. Look forward to hearing from anyone! I

I'm having trouble figuring out what AC B from PT90 S4 Q11 is saying. I watched JY's explanation so I now know what it means to say, but I'm not sure how I would have figured this out on my own? Usually punctuation marks would be on my side to help parse it out, but I find it peculiar that there weren't any because I really think this sentence could be read two ways?

The original AC says:

"Infants who consume cow’s milk that has not been boiled frequently contract potentially fatal gastrointestinal infections"

OR

Let me know if that makes sense and what sort of queues I could look out for to read this sentence right! I just find it difficult because there is no punctuation swaying you either way?

I have a quick q. does anyone know where we can take a full timed section but not a full Pt online? ive been wanting to take one section a day. but I dont like taking the book copy bc i do worse. Anyone who knows where this is available?

Hello Everyone! My name is Trent!

I'm looking for a full-time study buddy that I can meet with online and go over the 7sage content with. I just purchased 7sage a month ago, and My plan is to take the June LSAT. I want to study three hours a day until then. I'd like to get in at least 420 hours of studying in for the exam before June 11th (puns not intended, lol).

My hours are incredibly flexible, so I could potentially work with anyone in the world, provided scheduling works out. I know my offer is quite rigorous, but is anyone willing to share this great journey to score high on the LSAT with me?

Could you please explain why E is wrong?

Hey! I’m about to do two hours of studying. Join so we can hold each other accountable.

Let me know if you’re interested, I’ll send a google link!

Looking to take the June LSAT. Looking to gain a couple hours of studying a day. Currently drilling RC but circling back to drill LR and LG soon. Text me if interested!

Is this statement ever a possible answer? OR is this answer a self-contradictory statement.

"A factor that need not be present in order for a certain effect to arise may nonetheless be sufficient to produce that effect. "

Is this just saying it doesn't have to be sufficient but may nonetheless be sufficient...?

I'm just confused to this answer choice, what does this even mean?

For a principle question, let's say the stimulus was about a scenario and the correct answer choice was to identify the principle in that situation. Could the contrapositive be correct?

Ex: the principle describing the scenario is 'if you run a marathon, you will be tired'

In the answer choices, if one was 'if you're not tired, you didn't run a marathon,' would that be acceptable? Or does it have to be 'if you run a marathon, you will be tired'

Apologies if this is a dumb question!

How do you read the passage for RC? What is helpful for you?

Also what are some common traps you have found in RC answer choices?

Hi everyone,

I'm about 5 months into intensive studying for the LSAT and am struggling to see big progress on my games section. This is pretty much the only section I've studied as I started off averaging -3/4 each on LR and RC so I decided to focus my effort on the one I struggle with.

I scored a 157 on the November LSAT after averaging 161 prior to it, and just hit my first 164 practice test the other day (could have been luck). Despite everything, I've still never cracked -8 on the games section. I try to foolproof every type of game but I'm starting to panic with my LSAT coming up in January and needing to get a minimum of 163 to be competitive for my law school choices.

If anyone has any advice on how to go from -8 to -3/2 in two weeks please share, it would be so incredibly helpful. Thanks so much!

when I take prep tests, should I be taking it as flex with 3 sections or with 4 because in the real test it will have the unscored 4th section? I know I'm only scored by 3 on the real so I don't want to inflate my score if the 4th preptest section helps me, but also want to build stamina by taking 4 sections

Hi everyone! I am registered for the January test. I made a mistake in my scheduling and did most of the newest RC sections in the first leg of my preparation. Now I'm left with unused sections from PTs 30-50s (and 6-7 latest PTs which I have saved for timed practice test runs). The only option I have for drilling is using the old test sections. I am constantly scoring -0 to -3 in these. Do these sections reflect a similar difficulty level as those of the modern tests or these sections are comparatively easier?

Any advice of improving RC score is also welcome. Thanks in advance!

For (A) to make sense, isn't it necessary that we need to assume that "informing people to make better choice" is journalism's only purpose?

Otherwise, say if journalism might have another purpose (say entertainment), gossip might fit such potential purpose. Hence, we couldn't be able to reasonbly conclude that gossip is sometimes included for nonjournalistic purpose.

Could anyone explain where my thought process went wrong? thanks.

Hi everyone,

I need some advice on the upcoming Jan LSAT. I constantly read stories on here of people scoring 170+ and I feel like such a failure because I am barely scoring within the 160's. I started off with a diagnostic of 145 and have improved a bit since then but my scores fluctuate between a 154-160. (This is very embarrassing to even admit on here). Im only missing 1-2 questions on my logic games, but I am having a hard time with LR and RC. I think the best chance of me getting my score up would probably be to focus on LR because its the most learnable. I dont want to burn myself out by the day I actually take my exam, but does anyone have any tips that I could use to get my LR score up? I don't know if its lawgic I should focus on or what, because I really am just missing a wide range of LR questions. Any advice would be super helpful and much appreciated. (Its probably important to note I struggle a lot with timing. I have bad test anxiety)

Currently averaging –2-3 on RC sections. Misses are confined almost exclusively to 4- and 5-level difficulty questions. Basics are on point, and I generally feel calm and composed during PTs.

Question: Is it worth going through RC sections in post-BR reviews, i.e., in review sessions 2-3 days after taking and BRing a PT? If so, advice on how to effectively conduct such review would be greatly appreciated.

For context, average score of 5 most recent PTs is a 173.

Any strategies/tips for improving?

How many weeks did it take you to see improvement whether you solely self-studied or did a combo of self-study + tutor (1-2 sessions) every week?

And on that note, can anyone recommend a tutor that helps you by listening to your reasoning (i.e., for eliminating A/C and picking the correct AC) and telling you where said reasoning is flawed?

Looking for someone to review a couple LR sections with before the January test.

Currently averaging -6 and would like to review with someone for the next 2 weeks or so.

Lmk if interested!

Hi everyone,

I am new to the 7sage community and I am new to discussion posts. Everyone here sounds really encouraging so I decided to write on this forum and see what happens lol. Anyways have taken a cold diagnostic twice and have scored to my demise 141 both times. So many other forums are saying that it is impossible to raise it to a 170+ and now I feel like I already failed before I even started. Just for context, I am going to attempt to apply early to law schools in fall 2022, therefore I would hope to take the LSAT in about 6 months give or take. I just would like to hear some of you all's success stories and how much you were able to raise your scores to help make me feel motivated and focused again.

Hi everyone!

We have a new post on our 7Sage LSAT Newsletter! In this edition, I discuss dealing with heavy jargon in RC passages. You can read it here:
