I don't think the beta version 2: core curriculum is for me and would like to revert to the original core curriculum/ study schedule (without losing my progress). is this possible? thank you!
Can anyone explain their reasoning for PT 3 Section 4 Question 20 - will never understand it for the life of me.
So, I started using the V2 of the CC, and I absolutely love it. This is what I have been wanting and looking for.
It was a great idea to do a lesson on the question type, show a question being done, and then have us try it with a video of the explanation afterwards! This is excellent!
The transcript after the video is an amazing way to reinforce what we just watched. It is also perfect for those who can't watch the video for whatever reason and they would rather have a transcript to read of what was said in the video.
I will edit this when I have more feedback.
I do have a question, for the drilling after the lesson, when is it a good time to move on to the next lesson? How many questions should we get right? Should we do all variations of drills such as easiest, easier, med and so on?
Hi, is there a way to choose logic games that you specifically want to improve your speed on without having to take the whole preptest again? I know there are drills for different types of logic games, but I want to choose specific logic games that I want to redo and improve my speed on. Is there a way I can do that with the drill format?
I did poorly in undergrad (but at a good school- Lehigh) largely because I got sick and was dealing with my illness for several years. I scraped through with a 2.1 average (though about a 1/3 of my credits were transfer credits because I had to withdrawal several times and attended other schools). I went on and decided to go to get my MBA which I did from a pretty good school (Fordham) and graduated near the top of my class with a 3.72 average. Am I screwed because of my undergrad despite having done much better and at a much higher level of academic rigor? I've heard that they largely weight undergrad because its part of ranking criteria ect.
Why is B the right answer for a strengthen if the reverse could also be true: what if those who can copy angles can copy curves just means the other comes first. Isn't the key to the argument the idea that one is before? #help
Is the August 2023 LSAT going to be different, I heard online that they are changing the LG section in 2023. Wondering if that was real or not and if there is going to be any change to the August LSAT.

Previous thread was getting a bit long in the tooth, so starting a new one! Face cameras are gently encouraged - it's a lot easier to have a conversation that way.
=============
Hi everyone! About a year ago, I decided it would be cool to run some office hours and help some folks out, and so far I think a bunch of people have gotten good stuff out of our discussions so I'm continuing to run them. If you've ever wanted to talk through an issue with a high-end tutor but couldn't afford top-end tutoring rates, here's your chance to get that perspective.
Who Am I/Why Should You Listen To Me?
I scored 175 on the September 2006 LSAT (-4 RC, -2 LR, -0 LG), graduated from Columbia Law School in 2010, spent a year on fellowship with a judge in Bronx Supreme Court Criminal Division while teaching LSAT on the side, and have been teaching the LSAT full time since September 2011. I worked with JY on PreProBono and in the early years of 7Sage, was a 7Sage "Approved Tutor" for the entire life of that categorization, and am the only person other than JY himself who has ever had an instructional video published on 7Sage's live site. I have also been the lead tutor and LSAT department chair of a high-end private tutoring boutique here in NYC. Some of my writing still resides in the "Sage Advice" section of this forum, so go check it out if you're interested.
Over the past decade-plus, I have amassed over 8,000 hours of combined classroom-based and one-on-one LSAT teaching experience, working with a diverse set of students from across the USA and all around the world - Canada, Brazil, Netherlands, England, France, Qatar, Korea, and China just to name a few. The best score increase I've ever achieved with a student is +36 (136 -> 172). I've sent students to every t14 school except for Stanford (my white whale! they rejected me back when I was applying too), as well a wide variety of other schools across the United States and Canada, including at least one student to Harvard in 12 of my 13 full years of doing this (as of April 2023).
If you listen to the 7Sage Podcast, you may have heard my name mentioned in episode #67 - Vanessa (138 -> 169) was my student.
How Can I Join?
I'll put up a video chat link above when the time comes, and take it down when we're done.
When Will These Be Happening?
I currently intend for this to be a weekly thing, but the timing will vary depending on the other moving pieces of my schedule. It's not likely that every time will work for everyone, but I will at least attempt to switch it up so that anyone interested can make it at least some of the time. I currently live in New York, but I am a born and raised Californian so I understand the tyranny of Eastern Time very well, so don't worry West Coasters - I'm thinking of you guys too.
What Can I Ask?
Anything is fair game - general theory questions, questions about individual questions, macro questions about how to study/study trajectory, questions about what hair products I use, etc. Feel free to DM me questions in advance as well.
"Spoilers" (questions from more recent tests that not everyone might have gotten to yet) will be handled on a case by case basis. Over the past year or so of running office hours almost every week, I haven't found them to be too much of an issue, so I won't attempt to handle a crisis that hasn't cropped up yet.
Will This Be Recorded/Uploaded Somewhere?
No plans for recording at this time.
What Will This Cost Me?
Nothing but your time. Happy to help.
What If I Have Another Question?
Fire away! In this thread or in DM.
Hi,
I am thinking of transferring out to a nearby community college to take paralegal related courses and maybe to boost my gpa before graduation. Would this be frowned upon by law school admission committees?
After one year, I will return to my university to graduate during summer as I will have only one course left.
Hey 7Sage,
Some of you may have noticed that we have a new LSAT podcast. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it. Do you like it? Is it better than the old podcast? Why or why not? How can we make it better?
Be honest, please! The more you share, the more we'll be able to improve.

I took the LSAT last year and scored a 140. This is a poor score because I didn't get to do as much studying because I was working and in school full time. I plan on taking the LSAT in June and I have been studying. I'm trying to break the 150's.
Anyone got any tips and tricks? Was anyone else scoring this poorly? (My GPA was a 3.7 and I have plenty of law firm experience it's just I'm struggling with this exam).
requesting to refund for June and want to sign up for August
Hi everyone,
I am hosting a 2 month LSAT accountability sprint. What does this mean?
We will create a group and for 2 months we will: keep each other accountable with LSAT studying by coworking on a regular basis and scheduling check-ins.
Weekly Check-ins:
Time-block coworking:
I will host time-block coworking sessions every day. At the start of each time block we will do a short check-in to discuss our goals for that time block. During these time-blocks we will NOT review questions together or have test review sessions. We will simply do our own thing and co-work.
Time blocks:
9-11AM EST (daily)
1-3PM EST (daily)
7-9PM EST (daily)
Discord Community:
If interested, ping me for the discord link.
When does this start?
As soon as we get a solid and committed group going.
I created two LR drilling sessions on advanced drilling mode and did the questions.
On both of those sessions I got several questions incorrect.
To practice just the incorrect ones, I switched over to auto build drill mode:
The drilling pool was zero and I could not create a drilling session using Auto Build.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Can someone explain why the correct answer choice is C for PT 9, Section 4, Question 20?
Can someone explain why the correct answer choice is A for PT 9, Section 2, Question 20?
Hi! Is it wise to go through all of the drills or problem sets in a class while you're studying the set? Or is it better to learn the material/watch the question run-throughs and then spread out the drills throughout the week? An example would be the MSS Question Class set in the LR section. I feel if I do all 12 of the MSS problem sets spread out (maybe 2-3 a day), it'll help refresh my memory more often instead of doing it all at once and then not touching it until I take a PT.
I just opened the website to a notification that I should try the quicker + better way to learn logic with 7sage's beta 2 version. I edited my settings but lost all progress, I try to return to the lesson I was working on and it says "not included in subscription" , I tried to undo the update but the checkbox disappears from settings the second you open the page?
I want to undo this beta version and just go back to my progress on standard. #help #admin
The correct answer is A-fails to rule out the possibility that a true belief can have deleterious consequences.
While the AC by itself is reasonable, I am just not seeing how it is a flaw in the argument's reasoning.
I identified the conclusion as the first sentence of the stem, is this where I'm messing up?

Hey 7Sagers,
Here's the official April 2023 LSAT Discussion Thread.
REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the April 2023 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, April 18th.
Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.
Some examples of typical comments:
✅ The following comments are okay 🙆♀️
❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅♂️
Good luck to everyone taking the April 2023!
**Please keep all discussions of the April 2023 LSAT here!**(/red)
I am retaking the LSAT this summer and I am afraid of ProctorU Interruptions.
I was interrupted multiple times during my first test and honestly thinking about it gives me anxiety. She kept on telling me to move, reposition myself, and readjust my computer during LG and RC. This messed up my concentration and wasted time. I even had to re-read some RC passages which wasted even more time.
Is there a way we can avoid Proctor Interruptions?
(I did not file a complaint with LSAC or ask for a retake which I regret)
Greetings 7Sagers!
We're inviting you to join us every Wednesday, from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm EDT for a dedicated study session!
Most study groups are a lot of socializing and not a lot of actual work. That might be good for your mental health, but not so much for your LSAT score. This study session on the other hand is about taking care of business. Join us to keep yourself accountable and improve your LSAT score! We will make a bit of space for breaks and camaraderie, but the main thing is to come together, put our heads down, and get our work done!
Whether you're studying for the LSAT or just need a dedicated time and space to focus on your work, this weekly study session is the perfect opportunity to stay on track and make progress towards your goals. Plus, by studying with a group, you'll have the benefit of accountability and support from the 7Sage community.
Joining us is simple. Just head to our events page at https://classic.7sage.com/events/, find this event, and click the blue "watch" button. This event is open to all 7Sage users, including free users. We look forward to seeing you there!
If you have any questions, please comment down below.
Study Session Rules:
The Lounge Room
The Study Room
Video should be turned on. This is the whole concept of a virtual study session. If your video isn't on, you won't feel the same degree of accountability!
Mics must be muted, and participants must be actively studying.
I'm looking to form a small study group for the November LSAT. I'll be getting started studying in the next week or so. I have a full time job and a family as well. So I'm looking for like minded people with a busy schedule to challenge one another . Let me know if you're interested.
