Hello! I was wondering where I can view my starred questions? I usually star questions when I'm watching the video explanation for them.

What is the difference between Question Difficulty and Psg/Game/S Difficulty in the PT score breakdown?

I am a senior in undergrad and plan to work for 2 years before attending law school. My current plan is to take the LSAT in the spring/summer of 2023 and apply to law schools in the fall of 2023. I just heard about LSAC's past announcement that they'd be removing logic games from the LSAT in 2023, however, and it's making me question if I should change my plans some.

I am yet to start studying for the LSAT, but I'm concerned for a couple of reasons. First, from what I've heard, it seems the logic games are the easiest section of the test to "master." Therefore, I'm concerned the test will be harder without them. Second, and perhaps more importantly, if LSAC creates a totally new section for the LSAT to replace logic games (meaning they don't just add an extra LR or RC section to replace logic games), there will be no official practice tests to practice for the new section. Seeing as past tests seem to be an integral resource when prepping for the LSAT, this seems like a bit of a nightmare.

All of this brings me to ask a couple of question:

2.To me, it seems that it would be wise to take the LSAT before the logic games are removed (because of LG being the easiest section to master and there being ample practice tests to study for them). As aforementioned, my plan has always been to take the LSAT in the spring/summer of 2023. Therefore, I've always planned to start studying for the LSAT after I graduate in May of 2022 (because I'd like to have at least a year to prep). If logic games may be removed by January of 2023, however, it seems it may be wise to take the LSAT before then. So if I started studying in May, that would only leave me 7 or 8 months to study. So would it be wise for me to instead start studying for the LSAT after my final exams end in December and take it before January of 2023? I have a pretty high GPA and I'm only taking a couple of classes before graduating next semester, so I have no concerns that studying while in school would hurt my GPA.

Apologies for the long question! I just don't want to mess up studying for the LSAT. I'm super appreciative of any responses or input!

Hi,

Could someone kindly help me understand why/how A is the answer for this question if my interpretation below is incorrect?

I got this wrong. I picked C, but now I think I see why A is right and why C is is wrong. Is C wrong because it is merely stating a fact stated by the stimulus - that there will be more males to x # of females at both lakes therefore it's not some we are 'inferring'?

And, is A right because given the sex ratio information re: females and males in the stimulus, we know there will always be a lower percentage of adult males at Western than at Eastern Lake?

Any help is appreciated!

Admin Note: Edited titled. Please use the format "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of question"

For the question that asks "are you a first generation college student' or "are you the first one in your family to get a bachelors degree", I am confused if it asking in America or anywhere overall? Might be a dumb question but I thought it was important to check as colleges in the country I am from are not comparable to colleges or even fancy high schools here lmao.

Hi all

I’m looking for any tips for memorizing the logical indicators (group 1, 2, 3, 4 and what to do with each of them). Does anyone have any tips? I tried Flashcards and electronic Flashcards but I’m just not a memorization person.

Hi everyone!

I just did a full LG section and was able to get through games 1-3 with almost 3-4 minutes under the recommended time. The fourth game, however, took me 7 minutes over the target time, which I felt was way too long. However, I finished the section within 35 minutes and got -1 on the entire section.

I will most definitely review this fourth game, but Im curious to know if this timing in game 4 means that there is a crack in my understanding? I know that on the actual test day, we can't know how long it took (or should have) taken us to do each game, but I am not sure what to make of me taking over 7 minutes the target time but still getting -1 over the entire section.

Would love to know yall's thoughts!

Hi there,

Working full-time and trying to manage the LSAT has not been an easy journey. I'm looking to find one or two other people in the NYC area to do in person study sessions. Ideally, I'm looking for someone who would be down to meet at a coffee shop once a week to study (even if it's just as accountability budies- like we each do our own thing) .

I am in the Manhattan area and would love to connect with other people in the area who are also on this LSAT journey.

Happy studying!

hey guys I am having some issues understanding some of the Core Curriculum especially logic. I would appreciate if someone can help thank you.

Hi all, any advice on how to explain an uneven academic performance throughout an undergraduate degree? My story is a rather complicated one and not easy to tell in a short paragraph, so I'm trying to figure out how to concisely convey necessary information while not being able to point to linear growth? Appreciate any advice.

Hey everyone! Just looking for a bit of advice. I just took the November LSAT and was happy with my score (thanks 7Sage!) but I think I can do a little better if I take it again in January. I am hoping to score a few points higher to be closer to the median of my top school. I'm wondering if I should go ahead and submit my application with my November LSAT score before the January test? Just so that it is already in? I'm nervous the school may make a decision on my application without waiting to see my January score.

Hey everyone,

I am having some difficulty with the five star questions in logical reasoning sections. Often times, these are the only questions that I get wrong on a section. On one hand I suppose it’s good that I’m getting the 1 to 4 star questions consistently correct, however, I’m getting pretty irritated haha

The question types are across-the-board. There aren’t really any specific questions that I do worse or better on when it comes to five star questions.

What is your preferred method for improving this?

Thanks!

Can someone break down each answer choice?

Thank you

Do people BR all of the questions in the Problem Sets or just the ones that you have flagged? Based on what JY says in the BR section it seems to be that you ignore the ones that you don't circle? But in the comments everyone seems to BR everything

Could someone please explain why A is wrong? I chose E first and then read the conclusion again and thought that "necessary physical therapy" was some sort of a trap. Please #help. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I love when people share their final thoughts and advice as they close out of their law school journey so I thought hey maybe someone would find this post useful.

Background: I started at a 142, was PTing in the 156 range, took August 2021 got a 151 and felt pretty rough. I then started taking studying more seriously, got a tutor, and hit a 160 for November 2021. My goal was originally a 165 to hit just one schools median but I'm feeling burnt out and the majority of my schools are within the 160 range or lower, so I'm taking this win and applying now.

Disclaimer: This is what worked for me

Tips/Advice:

1. Focusing on Logic Games was the biggest help, I kept drilling and practicing new games which really helped me start moving faster. Do the foolproofing method, it really works.

2. I got the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy and her Basic Translation Drill saved me so much. DO THE DRILL. It'll help you move faster through LR. Also her Powerful vs. Provable chapter is a game-changer. I wish I would've gotten this book sooner.

3. Do full LR timed sections. Look at the questions you miss the most often and start drilling. First do 2-3 difficulty questions than 3-4, depending on the level you are getting wrong. Sometimes it helps to go back to the basics.

4. Another tip for LR: I focused on hitting the first 15 with accuracy and then the last 10 picking and choosing which question to spend time on, this really helped me set a pattern.

5. Manhattan Prep's "reading for scale" for RC was very helpful, in that it helped me read for purpose. I didn't do much of 7sage RC, so can't compare.

6. Lastly, I tutored with ellesat, more specifically Van, and if you have the money I highly recommend her. She offers tutoring packages and even with the first 2 sessions with her, I learned a lot about how to study for this test. Although, this test is doable on your own, I just needed more guidance.

7. Use a wrong answer journal, spreadsheets are super easy to see everything and really organized.

If you have any questions please feel free to message me!

I took the GRE twice back in 2017 and my highest GRE score is converted to a 154 LSAT. Should I submit my GRE score as well? My highest LSAT score is 151. I'm looking to apply to a law school with a range 157-163.

Thank you!

I scored way lower than my first LSAT in August and the score is just too embarrassing to post. I did a whole course for months but evening classes didn't do much. Any recommendations on private tutors that aren't crazy expensive given I've already spent 1500 on a course that didn't help me? I hear good things of 7sage so here I am!

I took my first LSAT in April 2021 scoring a 150. I rewrote in November and scored a 161! Thank you 7Sage for helping me achieve this 11 point increase

my Nov score is WAY lower than the 158 I scored before

It’s definitely an anomaly….I screwed up my best section due to the last game on LG.

Should I forget it ever happened and run with the 158 from months before? Or retake in Jan? I wanted to apply this month, and I know the Jan test will have my apps on hold til Feb which is so late :( AND what if I cannot surpass 158.

After receiving my November score I’m feeling extremely discouraged. I know I can score between a 166-171 when I don’t feel the pressure of the time. I preform well on individual sections but the I haven’t been able to replicate the same results on the exam. I currently have accommodations with extra time and stop/start breaks, but it’s not enough to stop me from having an anxiety attack in front of my proctor. I have taken this exam many times and I want january to be my last exam. Please if anyone has any advice I’d greatly appreciate it because I’ve tried everything for my anxiety (exercise, meditation, acupuncture, taking breaks etc) Thank you in advance.

Hi all,

I just received my November score and am happy with it. If anyone wants my LSAT Trainer textbook for free, I'd just ask that you pay shipping (I use Venmo). I used the textbook to supplement 7sage lessons, mostly on reading comp and the other sections are pretty much untouched. I am based in Nebraska if that helps!

Let me know!

if I register for January, but do not take it/withdraw before the test day, will it show up as an attempt on my account?

My journey is over for now, thank you so much for this website for carrying me. Couldn't have done it without this great community. I wrote my first LSAT in June, got a 155. Wrote the second time in October but due to technical difficulties I wrote at the end of October and got a 160....... Wrote 2 weeks later since I already paid for it (didn't really study lol) and just got my November LSAT mark back at 166!

Trust me if I can do it, you can too. Good luck everyone going forward. Bye!

Thank you 7sage community for all the help, went from a 161 to 169. Not 170 but it's perfect in my book

Going to do the consulting hours now for the essays
