Can someone explain to me why B is the right answer? I had chosen A

Hello,

Are the practice tests that simulate the modern test still used? I was told by someone that they recently went back to the pre-2020 way of testing.

I was confused on whether - including the ungraded portion of the LSAT - you take 5 sections or only 4.

Thank you!

I prepped for the April 30th 2022 LSAT using Khan Academy's free preptests, and would like to plug my previous practice tests into the 7sage system. Has anyone done this before? If so - is there a way to do it other than just manually entering in the old answers?

Hi all!

Just a question on negation. So from what I understand, there are 2 ways we can deny the relationship (i.e A some /B and A and /B). But would it be ok to write /A and B ?

For example, if the record sells well, you will be famous.

Denying this relationship we get:

Would it be illegal to say "the record doesn't sell well and you will be famous" (/Sell Well and Famous) ?

Please let me know, thanks in advance !

I have tried different methods for studying for the LSAT while having a full-time job. I was wondering for those who are on the same boat as me, what is/was your study schedule like?

I registered for oct 14 2022 lsat. So, it's all online? I hear there is only 3 scored sections now?

Is there any way to distinguish an experimental section?

Anyone have any tips on how to do better on MSS questions, i do understand the question stem and the passage but, I always seem to choose the wrong answer choice. I also understand the question but, maybe what is the point to a most strongly supported question.

I graduated college over 20 years ago and never considered law school as a serious option until this past January, and when I researched the nature of the LSAT, well...I almost gave up right then.

But a friend had turned me onto 7sage and after poking around only a tiny bit on Youtube and other sites, I very quickly determined that no one else was offering anything close to what 7sage was. So I never even tried another course because, why bother? J.Y.'s teaching manner and curriculum is inspired--and also encouraging and entertaining along the way, and it made the process of getting back into study habits actually bearable.

At the start, I was pretty sure that a diagnostic score would do more harm than good so I skipped it. My fragile ego didn't need to see such a low number, I knew, but besides that I didn't have the stamina for an hours-long, intense test. Even for studying, I had to start slow, working my way into studying for lengths longer than 30 minutes a day. Like I said, my college days are in a distant prehistoric past.

When I finally took my first PT I got a 157 and I hovered around that score over the few PTs, running out of time to do more than about 4 before the June test.

I went into the June test hoping that I wouldn't bomb it, panic and have a mental shutdown of some kind, or experience proctor interruptions (as others have complained about). Although I have 5 kids, I have been successful at shutting out interruptions my at-home practice drills and tests, and I did NOT want to deal with that during my first attempt at a real test.

I came out feeling pretty good but I was still surprised to see that 165 and I am still on a high about it.

My takeaways: I am not sure that I have very solid tips to pass along. A lot of what helped me came from situational or life experience. It was pretty easy for me to focus during my limited study times, and I studied HARD. Sometimes waking up very early (like before 5am), and putting in long hours during my husband's days off while he had time to attend to the kids. I didn't waste that time since it was limited, and hard-earned for us both.

I would say that in some ways, my years of not-studying were actually a perk. There was the novelty of being a student again, I had a goal to aim for that was tangible and measurable, and with the help of this online community I found here it was attainable. I appreciated what the community had to offer, and then I also didn't let myself get distracted by too much poking around on threads (here or elsewhere).

So that's the main thing: I didn't waste time. I didn't shop around, the 7sage CC is focused so I didn't get lost in the weeds, it was easy to speed through and then go back and re-visit areas of weakness, and the way the site is structured I could build drills that helped me hone in on what still seemed fuzzy to me. I took advantage of a couple of webinars and that was super useful, too. No regrets for any of it!

7sage really worked for me and I am certain I would not have gotten to the end of my LSAT journey so efficiently or so fast without it. Thanks to J.Y. and the whole team!

anyone know? or does he mention it sometime in the course? just curious for the tea

Is there a way to skip sections or mark them "complete" so the next section can be shown before waiting 35 mins in lawhub?

For PT-73 I'd done LR1 before, so wanted to skip it in a new test to go straight to LR2.

Hi! Can someone help me with this question? I understand the stimulus but I am super confused by the question stem 'which one of the following, if true, establishes that the doctor's second reason oes noot cancel out the first?'

Could someone also explain why A is correct?

Thanks so much!

Not looking for any sarcastic or judgmental answers. Can instructor or someone else help me draft my persona statement based off a few of my ideas? I need stylistic / narrative advice and guidance of framework! please would mean the world. thank you. or if anyone knows of someone else who is willing to help!

Hi, I am taking the test the September test in about a month and Scoring in low 150 and high 140s. I do not know how to improve anymore. I have been studying for a little more than 4 months already. I am not practicing RC much because it is hard to improve since English is not my first language. I am getting confident at LG slowly. However, my LR is very bad. I get an average of 10 correct in the LR section. Any suggestions on how to improve any of these? I really want to improve my LR section.

Im taking the August LSAT 2022 on August 13. The best score Ive gotten so far is a 140. Ive been studying for over a year. Will the curve help much? I will have to apply to schools out of state with that score to see if they accept me. My GPA is good its a 3.8, but Im worried about my LSAT score being too low to get into FIU in Miami.

Hello everyone,

I am preparing to take the LSAT in a month and while I got a score that was close to the target score on the last PT (one in the 60s). I had a massive score drop this time (one in the 70s). Since the last PT, I keep getting a lot of questions wrong and things don't seem to be clicking as before. Do you think this is burn out? Or this is common? Even if it is burn out, I am scared to stop studying since the test is coming up soon and I have yet to get through the 80s and 90s. I would appreciate any advice and thank you in advance for your help!

After learning all of the Valid Argument Forms and then later hear J.Y. say that these have to become a part of my intuition (causing me to freak out, of course), I created a PDF in order to have a single place where I can easily study and refer to all the Valid Arguments Forms. I formatted it to mimic the style of 7sage's Sufficient and Necessary Condition Cheatsheet. Hopefully something like this will be added to the curriculum for everyone to easily access.

Please let me know if there is any way to make the information clearer and whether or not I should make another PDF for Invalid Arguments.

Hope this is a helpful resource!

Hi everyone

I was dealing with really bad burnout for the last 3-4 months that developed over the pandemic, but am now feeling like I can pick back up and study for the LSAT for this cycle to apply to a few Ontario schools in Canada.

Looking to skip some of the core curriculum since I already did a full course with another LSAT prep program.

Any thoughts on this?

Looking to skip over to doing practice sets

Thanks!

Anyone signed up for a live session? How does it work? I signed up for one that is supposed to start today and have not received any information

I am just curious, are we allowed like a quick breather between sections? For example, can I take like a 20 second breather before I start section 2 or am I only allowed a break at the halfway point? I have no special accommodations FYI. Thanks!

I know strengths and weaknesses and the whole memo - but for drilling mode when I wanna practice various question types how many should I be doing ? 25- 30? like whats counter productive? I did 40 for lr and it seemed too much

Hi everyone!

On Thursday, August 25th, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Training for Reading Comprehension."

For this webinar, we'll be going over the different muscles that Reading Comprehension is testing and the ways to train each one. Yes, RC tests "reading ability." But what does that mean exactly?

We'll go over different ways to make RC studying more varied, effective and engaging. If you're someone who worries that RC isn't learnable or is getting tired of just doing timed RC sections, this webinar will arm you with a new way of thinking about the section and about RC studying.

→ Please register for the webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lseozPWrSZup2NvQJXkG8g

⚠️ After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

⚠️ You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

Hello 7Sage community,

I'm in the process of gearing up for Oct. LSAT and I wanted to bring to your attention June '22 LSAT LG specifically.

I'll get straight to the point: Did anyone find the LG section unusually hard?

I mean I went through the games in pt.1-92 three times before taking the test but I still answered barely 5 questions in total probably. There could be many reasons why I did so poorly on the section but one thing for sure that I felt while attempting the games was that on 3/4 games, I didn't know how to set up the game- They seemed

nothing like the ones I had tried except for the circular game which I ran out of time on.

If anyone did well on June LG can you share your tips?

It'll be much appreciated! Please help 🙏

Hi guys! What is the best way to approach RC? I tried the low resolution method which helped tremendously and I was able to raise my score from -12 to -3 to -5. However, I am aiming for 175 for October so I tried the Blueprint. It was helpful to learn about structure but now I find myself going back to the passage about 5-6 times because I get so focused on structure that I miss out on the content of the passage. I only went back to read referenced lines when I was using the low res method.

Is there a way to combine the two or approach the section another way to score -0 to -2 consistently? I think it can be done but only with the right approach. Thank you!

Please give us the option to see which answers we eliminated/crossed out when looking at our preptest answer results. This would help us see our original thought processing when blind reviewing and when going over final results.
