Hi everyone! I hope you are having an amazing day!!

My name is Britt, and I am a tutor here at 7Sage. I am extremely passionate about mental health and mindfulness. On Thursday, March 17, at 9:00 PM ET, the 7Sage Tutoring Team and I will host a webinar about "Combating Test Anxiety." You can register for the webinar here:

https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CPFna0UGTxWom4TGT8Orrw

However, I would love to hear some lingering concerns from you all. That is, I would love for you all to comment things you would like me to discuss in the webinar or comment any questions you may have.

I am hoping that this Webinar can shed some light on how capable you all are of defeating this test and provide you all with some tips on anxiety/focus.

Best,

Britt

In the MSS question sets, I found two interesting question stems. Even though they’re both categorized broadly as MSS questions, I found some nuances for each of them that might be helpful for shaving off time. If you find a flaw in my reasoning, please point it out!

Here are the two question stems and my comments for each:

“The statements above, if true, serve LEAST well as evidence for which one of the following?

- Correct answer not supported; every other answer at least a little bit supported

- In the videos, JY compares this to an MSS except question, where the incorrect answer choices each have a ton of

support

“Which one of the following is LEAST compatible with the information given in the stimulus?

- Correct answer not supported (contradicts, even); every other answer compatible, but not necessarily supported (Why?

Because they could be irrelevant and still be compatible)

SO, why does this matter?

- In a “serve LEAST well as evidence” question, each one of the incorrect answer choices must be relevant to the stimulus

in some way. If it’s not relevant, then you know it’s the right answer choice.

- In a “LEAST compatible” question, an incorrect answer choice does not have to be relevant to the passage. Don’t just

choose it because it’s irrelevant.

For examples of each q-stem, see: lsat 25.s2.q19 & lsat 35.s4.q22

I have spent the last two and a half months going through the core curriculum and now that I have finished it, I feel like I have built a solid foundation of the test. I have a couple questions about the test, mainly the LG, and progressing with my studies.

About LG:

I have done some games prior to doing 7sage’s LG course, but they were all in PT40s-60s. I saw a couple misc games in those PTs and didn’t think they were too bad. However, I felt that some of the games I saw in PT1-35 were the most difficult games I’ve ever seen. Mainly because the misc games were so hard to diagram and it was frustrating to visualize it. I was under the assumption (because of what my friends told me) that the old LGs were easier than the new games, but the more I look into it people say the old LGs are more difficult and the new LSATs does not have some of those weird diagram games anymore from the 1990s-early 2000s. What’s the consensus on the older and newer LG games in terms of difficulty and diagramming?

Also, I plan on foolproofing using Pacifico’s method(link for reference: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737) for PT1-35 so I can get a better feel for doing games. If anyone is familiar/did it with it, how many games did you do per week? Should I for example, start 5 on Monday, re-take on Tuesday, start a new 5 on Wednesday like one of the last comments on that thread said.

Tips on moving forward:

So, now I’m kind of stuck on what to do for the other sections right now as I foolproof LG. I committed myself for 1.5 months on the LR curriculum and when I finished it, I didn’t look at it until I finished the LG and RC section. But I think that break was beneficial for me anyway, so how should I progress into doing full sections from untimed to timed. I also picked up the loophole because I heard it’s great to supplement with the LR curriculum. I was wondering for anyone who did the same, how did you incorporate reading the Loophole to what you had already learned from 7sage? Mainly what I am asking is how should I set up my weekly schedule now for drilling? My targeted test date is June, so I have about 2.5 months and I have no obligations for anything else.

Looking for study buddies. Got a 169 in January, currently PTing at 173-175, aiming for high 170s in April. Please PM me if you're interested in studying together!

Looking for a tutor for the June LSAT to meet at least 2 times weekly

When will we know if the August 2022 LSAT will be online or in person?

Hi yall,

I've been studying since September for the April LSAT and I feel really frustratred. I first made the mistake of studying a Kaplan book, but then switched over to Khan Academy and LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim. I got 7sage in December and have been studying in this space ever since. I have gone over the lessons, learned each stimilus type, drilled tons of games, done everything that I thought was right and I'm still not increasing my score AT ALL from November. It's embarrassing and frustrating. Does anyone have any tips on how I can really improve?

THIS STUDY GROUP IS AT CAPACITY Thank you, everyone. I wish you the best of luck in your studies!****

Hello, Everyone!

(Sort of a long post warning.)

Monday, March 14, 2022 to June 11, 2022 is roughly 90 days, and just over 150 days until the August 12, 2022 LSAT.

I am aiming to take the June 11 LSAT and most likely the August 12 LSAT. I am also targeting September 30, 2022 as a personal deadline to get my applications in. To that end, the study group I am proposing would include the prep for the test and potentially peer support for the application process.

I personally have the self-control/discipline of a soggy newspaper when it comes to making myself sit down and study for the LSAT and need to create a space/time where I am held accountable for my study time. Therefore, I’m looking for folks interested in being study and/or accountability buddies to meet virtually over zoom.

I recognize that we are all in different places in our LSAT journey and also have different goals regarding our scores and potential law schools we’d like to attend. Some of us may still have to complete the core curriculum—or complete it again—, others may have finished everything and are using a supplement to 7sage; whatever it is or wherever you’re at is perfectly fine and you are welcome in this group.

This group is open to all with the caveat that it be a judgement free place.

To keep it inclusive and supportive, I propose that our official LSAT score goals and current practice test scores be kept private from each other.

If there are questions that have particularly stumped you or something you’ve finally had a breakthrough on, there will be one day a week to share that on, but for the most part the study plan/schedule I’ve proposed below is a mostly silent zoom meeting arrangement.

Monday through Friday, I will be studying from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PST (five or so minutes in the beginning to get settled and then a ten minute break sometime in the middle and five minutes at the end to wrap up) and then another hour in the evening from 7:30 PMish to 8:30 PMish. These meetings will be a silent (except at intro 5 min, break, and end 5 min) zoom meeting where we would work though our own LSAT prep.

Saturdays, I will be focusing on practice tests 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM (10 min break around 3:10 PM). I will be using a virtual proctor/YouTube video for this to simulate testing day.

Sundays will be for blind review and if there are any problems the group wants to try to look at and figure out together and maybe a bit more of an opportunity to socialize/commiserate/brainstorm/share resources, etc. 2:00 PMish to 4:00 PMish

You don’t have to commit to every day or the full time on each day for the study sessions to be a part of this group.

If there are interested parties in this study arrangement, I was thinking that this Sunday, March 13 around 7:00 PM PST we could have a virtual meet and greet on zoom to get to know each other a bit before we get into the study grind on Monday, March 14, 2022.

My goal is to create an inclusive and supportive study group and maybe make a few new friends along the way.

Study Schedule starting March 14, 2022 to June 10, 2022:

Monday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Tuesday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Wednesday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Thursday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Friday: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM; 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM

Saturday: 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM

Sunday: 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

If you are interested please comment below or send me a message and I’ll send you a zoom link for the meeting on Sunday, March 13, 2022. If you are reading this post after March 13, 2022 and are interested, comment below or message me.

Per 7Sage's discussion rules please refrain from including your private information (i.e. email addresses and phone numbers, etc) in your comments.

Thank you so much for reading my post. I hope we can be study buddies!

I am looking for motivated and fun people to study with for the August LSAT! Please message

Can someone explain why the answer is C and not A? Thanks in advance.

How is E correct? It appears to be supporting the conclusion not weakening it. My understanding of the argument's Conclusion is that it's telling environmentalists to relax because nature is going to adjust itself to the rising levels of the atmosphere.

E (if I'm understanding correctly) states that the Earth's natural adjustment process, which happens over the course of a million years, allows for the atmosphere to successfully cope with large short term variances in the carbon level.

How is this weakening? I leaned toward C initially because if carbon was just one piece of the atmospheric "blanket", then nature fixing just carbon wouldn't be enough to prevent the environment from getting dangerously hot.

I am taking the LSAT at the end of April. I know that retention/progress are gained when you are able to teach and learn with someone else. I am in the 165 range and want to move my score closer to a 170. Looking for someone scoring at least a 160. I am in PST and study 12-16 hours daily. Message me if interested.

I’ve been using 7sage for some months now and still don’t know what this column’s information references. Anyone know?

Please message me if interested!!

Looking to start a study group for the April and June tests. Currently plan on taking both.

Down to create a discord. Feeling fairly confident on LR and somewhat confident on LG but definitely need to focus on RC…

Shoot me a message or comment below if interested!

(Making another one of these because the few I commented on OP never reached out)

Hi friends! Looking for a study group for June LSAT. I know its coming up so preferably people who are also ready to double down and get stuff done! I have a very flexible schedule but like to study more so in afternoons and my weekends are free. Please let me know if you are interested!

https://www.lsac.org/about/news/lsac-launches-program-offer-new-holistic-pathway-law-school

the Legal Education Program will provide a second, equally valid and reliable alternative for law school admission in the future that will complement the proven LSAT exam.

The phrase “alternative” throws me off, can someone give insight?

I am struggling so hard in these. Does anyone have any pointers?? I feel like I'm so close sometimes, then during BR I change my right answer to the wrong one! Or, of course I just get it wrong 100% and am totally lost. HELP :(

Hi! I'm not sure if I'm doing something differently, but in the past, I was able to scroll over the icon that looks like a recycling symbol to see how I answered a question in the past, and when I answered that question. However, that option seems to have disappeared? Thanks!

Happening tonight!

I'm a tutor who started out scoring in the mid 150s and scored a 173 on the October 2021 LSAT.

I'm offering a free session on strategies to maximize the 35 minutes you have on LR sections. We will cover things like how to know when to skip and come back to a question later, how to leave time for a round 2 for skipped questions, which skipped questions to prioritize doing first, how to choose between 2 remaining answer choices, and question-type specific advice. We'll also look at how LR questions have changed over time.

When splitting boards, and when you have an MBT question for example... do you choose the answer that is based off of both split boards? does this go for every category like CBF and CBT?
