Hey y'all!

This week's LSAT Tips is out-- this week I talked about three misconceptions about the LSAT. You can read it here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/three-lies-about-the-lsat?s=w

I hope this week's newsletter is helpful!

If you could use some help on the way to your goal score and want to work with one of our LSAT tutors, use this link to learn more: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-tutoring/

Considering the following LSATs will be given online, do you all have any tips on how to annotate while you read? A common strategy is to write short summaries in each paragraph but how can we do that online? Thanks for the help!

I would like to ask this before I begin taking PTs consistently. I know that there is an option to take 3 sections of the PT as opposed to all 4 due to the changing of the scoring of the tests. Yet, when I am studying is it better to take all 4 sections? Thank you in advance

I've been taking LR sections untimed and generally get between -0 and -2. Depending on the overall difficulty of the section I usually take between 35-45 minutes. However, when I take timed practice tests my accuracy goes down. I notice that many of the questions I missed were because I overlook certain details that would've clued me into the right answer, and on blind review I usually catch all of these errors. Any tips as to how one should generally go about building up their speed?

I decided not to work this summer to study full time for the test with hopes to take the exam in August. How many hours can I realistically study in a day without burn out? Right now I am doing about six hours a day. Is anyone else in a similar position? Advice? Thank you!

Hi,

I have been practicing logic games for a month now and I am still not getting any faster. I don't know what to do, I still cannot finish them in the allotted time. What has helped all of you get faster at these?

Hello! I am currently at Introduction to Logic in the course, however I have experience studying in another course so I do have an understanding of each section for the most part. I have taken one timed prep test and have been studying for three weeks now. I wanted to wait until I had a basic understanding of each question type before taking timed prep tests as to not burn out, lose motivation due to subpar results, etc..

I work a full time job on top of volunteer hours. Will one to two prep tests a week be fine? Should I start now or should I build up a better understanding of each section through 7Sage? It's been a great help so far but I worry that I am wasting my time. I'll admit I started studying a little later than some might advise.

Thank you.

Very best,

Belle

I was looking through discussion threads of when individuals plan to take their LSAT. I only decided about two weeks ago after a gap year I would like to apply for Fall 2023, and since have been doing my best to study often and effectively. I was under the impression it would be okay to take in September, but it seems most plan to take it in June or August. Am I considerably behind if I plan on September? I realize that applications open around October so that would be a quick turn around, would that be a bad thing if I feel I really need the entire summer to study?

Hey all,

I've noticed that, when there is a question such as "Which of the following, if true, determines all [placements within the given game]?" the answer choice includes the placement of the free agent, which is often the last piece that goes unplaced since the other answer choices leave it up to question. Therefore, I've begun testing answer choices with looking for the one or ones that tell where the free agent goes. This has sped up my elimination process significantly.

Anybody else see this?

Hello! I hope all is well! Does anyone know what order of question types JY recommends to study for LR?

I'm sure it goes: 1. MP/MC, 2. MSS, 3. AP, 4. WEAKEN, 5. STRENGTHEN etc... (If i messed up that order please correct me lol)

But what goes after those (according to 7sages advice)? Thanks!

Happy studying!

So I have been studying for the June 2022 LSAT for roughly 6 months during school and have not been able to dedicate as much time as I would like. I am aiming to get above a 170+. I spend most of my time drilling sections, not taking as many PTS. I have gotten a 173 as my highest score on a PT (only once) and have broken into the 170+ range two others times both 172. Right now I typically get the anywhere between a 165-170 on my PTS. Should I wait to take the LSAT in August to try improving my score and using the summer to study? Or should I go for the June test and use my one time look ahead for a score cancellation for first time test takers? I am conflicted because I feel like I am right on he cusp of getting where I want to be and I have three more weeks until the June 11 test. Just wondering what anyone else's thoughts were on this! Thanks!

Does anyone remember the game set of sequencing toys?

I remember it was sequencing toys with different colors..!

Didn't took a note on that:(

Just making sure, only three sections out of the four are scored... right? Tried googling it but only showed results for 2021

Pretty much the title. I'd like to take the LSAT this Fall, and trying to decide what 7Sage package to buy and when I need to start studying by. Anyone have any insight on this?

What insights or resources helped you to conquer Reading Comp?

So, I just finished the MC/MSS section of the program. It seems I am still struggling with it here and there. With it being complete, I am reviewing notes trying to figure out how to do it faster and better, but obviously I have already been exposed to the questions in the course. Outside of the actual practice tests, is there another way I can study those sections independent of the whole test to hopefully gain a mastery of it?

If I take the LSAT in August 2022, will I still be able to apply for law school so that I can begin in Fall 2023?

Hey y'all,

When I first started studying for the LSAT, my diagnostic score was a 157, and my early prep test results were all in the mid-150 range. It's a perfectly good score, but in order to have a stronger application and a better chance at scholarships, I knew that I wanted to improve on it. I completed the 7Sage curriculum over about 6 months by working at it for a few hours every day after work. After completing the curriculum, my practice test scores were almost always above 170, and my actual April 2022 test score came back as a 169. I'm really happy with it. My diagnostic test score placed me in the 66th Percentile. With 7Sage, my actual test score was in the 95th percentile of all test takers. A 29 percent increase! Wild. I'm really proud of myself, and really grateful to 7Sage for making this curriculum [relatively] accessible. I feel confident that the money I invested in this online resource will pay off with larger scholarship opportunities moving forward, which is a good trade.

I'm sharing this as encouragement, because reading these kinds of posts from other users really boosted my morale when I first started with 7Sage. The curriculum is ridiculously long and appears really daunting when you start out! But at least in my case, it helped so much. Good luck to everyone who is still on (or just starting) this course! Stick with it!

Sincerely,

ddeeswee

Will only accept serious requests. NO PROMO for tutoring or of any kind.

How do you know if your request was approved or denied? I submitted the request on the 27th and don't see anything on LSAC to check the status of it.

For this question, I did not choose A because I created a world where F is not 1 lower than S and I don't understand what I'm getting wrong, I doubled checked the rules.

The world is: F K J S M G H

lol I know I did not crack the lsat, #help fr

Thanks :)

Hello,

I often find myself eliminating three answer choices, resulting in two remaining choices that I waste undue amounts of time deciding between. Does anyone have any advice on a formulaic way of selecting an answer choice with the highest chance of accuracy while minimizing the amount of time lost? Thank you!
