I have huge difficulty in RC but LG and LR are really not bothering me. My RC correct rate is about 45%. I was wondering if I can give up RC and try to get -0 on LG and -2/-3 on LR. I only need 160.

Anyone looking to join a group for the Nov 2022 or Jan 2023 dates? Im closer to the beginning on my studying on here, might be easier to find others around the same level i am. We can even take it from the top and discuss each topic on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to keep each other accountable.

Im on the west coast. Not sure how to direct message anyone

Good luck!

I'm trying to get a diagnostic score with the first PreTest, but I'm not able to print it out. Will this affect my ability to do blind review? Is there a way to flag questions I don't feel 100% about on the test?

Recently, I have realized I am pretty slow reader. When doing practice LSAT questions/exams, I have issues either reading too slow, or if I read too fast, missing key details or simply not understanding the stem.

Any advice on how I can improve my reading skills or practice it? I would prefer not to use LSAT questions not in the core curriculum, as I do not want to read ones I potentially may come across in future LSAT practice exams.

Thanks!

Hi!

I am aiming for over 175 for Oct 2022 LSAT! If anyone is interested in joining a study group please comment below and I will send you guys the link.

Thanks!

(btw, I am looking for people who would be joining weekly zoom meeting to go over prep questions and tips together!

I am curious to know what the formulaic way of calculating the total number of worlds for any given game. Obviously, I will not use this during the test, this is based off pure curiosity to do on my free time! For example, for PT 30, S1, G4, I worked out 18 possible worlds that are definitive. Given the conditional nature of rules in a game, I think it would be fun to be able to go Good Will Hunting mode and see if I could plug in some numbers to a formula of some sort to see if I get the same output as 18. I was doing some online research and there is something called the combination formula!

Hi guys,

I have been struggling recently with test anxiety. There was a wonderful few weeks where I actually really looked forward to every test and saw them as a really enjoyable part of my day, but now they just fill me with dread. On the days I take PTs I feel sick and anxious all day because I feel like if I do badly then the entire week of studying will have been a waste. This stress often leads me to feel panicked during PTs which really affects my timing and focus. The anxiety has been exacerbated by a recent score regression. It feels like a vicious cycle. I took a few days off from everything LSAT to reboot and even pushed my test date back to ward of that "impending doom" feeling, but I am still so stressed about PTs and even drills. Has this happened to anyone else and what helped you get through it?

Thanks in advance!

I'm totally running out of time studying for the August LSAT and it's so hard to admit it. I'm already signed up and paid and everything, no turning back now.... I'm working full time and thought it would be a lot easier to set aside time to study, not realizing how exhausted I'd be. Any advice on what parts I can skim through or skip ahead to??

You've spent months foolproofing games, sharpening your conditional logic and reading endless passages about aboriginal handcrafts in preparation for the LSAT. You are ready to sit the exam when you get the email from LSAC saying, "You must complete the LSAT Writing section before receiving your score."

Don't stress, we here at 7Sage have you covered! We offer a 100% free guide to the LSAT Writing section that explains what it is, how you can prepare for it and whether it matters at all!

My year long LSAT journey came to a very happy end yesterday, getting a 178 on the June 2022 test. I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to say that I scored higher on the real thing than any PT ever!!! I can honestly say this would not have happened without our friends here at 7Sage and especially my tutor @"Chris Nguyen".

As a slower reading STEM major, I struggled quite a bit initially with LR and RC. After the August test last year I was ready to give up, and took a few months off. I started up studying again in January this year with some new found motivation, but I was still struggling, stuck in the high 160s and occasional low 170.

I had gone to a few tutors before, but none worked for me. 7Sage's content had been great for LG, so I decided to give their tutors a shot. That's when I met Chris. We immediately got to work on RC. After only one session I was answering questions more confidently, and was no longer getting any main point questions wrong (a big weakness of mine). With Chris's strategies I was able to go from around -8 on RC down to -3 or 4.

Chris also worked with me on LR timing, and gave me specific strategies for every question type that I struggled with. He spent the time to understand how I approached questions, and how I thought about the test, and then tailored strategies that would work for me. I've seen others say the same thing, but I wish I had met Chris sooner! I saw consistent improvement from every single strategy we implemented. Chris was reassuring through rough patches, and insistent during the good times. I went from being overjoyed with a -4 on LR, to expecting -0.

Maybe it was lucky to score above my PTs on the real test, but the protocols Chris and I implemented together put me in that position. He kept saying, that if I do everything we've discussed, there is nothing holding me back from mid to high 170s. He was right about all of it!

Thank you so much Chris. If anyone's looking for a tutor, Chris is the best there is. Cannot recommend him enough!

How many lsat preptests should we be taking from now until the august lsat?

Hi! I’m looking to form a study group or find study buddies for the October LSAT. Mainly to hold each other accountable and even go on FaceTime/video call to study together. My availability varies, but I am usually deee evenings into the night as I work full-time. Let me know!

I just want to say that this resource was life changing for me. I self studied using only 7sage for 6 months and went from a diagnostic of 154 in December to 177 on my first official LSAT this June. Thank you thank you thank you 7sage, JY, and the community of people here. If I can give back in any way to anyone who is a part of this community, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Is the recording going to be posted?

Hello!

I'm wondering how to share my LSAT analytics with a Study Buddy. Can someone provide me with the process? Thank you!

Is there a way to add extra time on PTs for people with accommodations? If not, I think that would be a good improvement to help people prepare most realistically for the actual test day

Hey! I’m approaching my test date quick and I am still on the long logical reasoning section of the core curriculum. Can I jump around to logic games and RC to get a little of everything before the test date or should I follow through with the order of the curriculum. Please lmk what your guys experiences are and advice on jumping around or not. Thanks!

Went from a low 140 diagnostic last year to a 174 for the June 2022 administration. 7Sage was 90% of my prep and I couldn't imagine using anything else. This platform worked wonders for me, and for that I am truly grateful. Seems like I will be closing one chapter, but moving onto the next - applications! It's been a wild ride, definitely won't miss it, but I won't forget it either. Cheers to all that just started or are in the middle of preparing for the LSAT. Starting is half the battle. Keep your head high, you got this!

When taking PTs/the real test, do you hide your timer? Or do you keep it visible in the top-right corner? I'm not sure what the best practice is or if there is one. I've always hidden my timer while drilling but I'm curious to hear others' opinions.

Hey everyone, I am scoring in the high 170's and am willing to tutor for free. I can guide in terms of the study material, send explanations for specific doubts, explain concepts or anything you'd like. I am working currently so regular video calls might not be possible. Regular mails, texts and sharing notes would be more feasible. If this interests anyone please feel free to hit me up!

Edit: Sent a DM to everyone who commented. Won't be able to accommodate any more people now. Will put another post if any room clears!

I'm so confused on how C is not the right answer choice for this question, Help!

Key takeaways:

Nothing profound; just my humble .02.

-If your goal score is far from your diagnostic (15/20+ points), give yourself at least a year to study.

-get a 7Sage subscription ASAP if you haven’t already.

-Do lots of reading outside the LSAT. The economist, foreign affairs, NY review of books are all great. I honestly believe this was responsible for most of my progress in RC.

-Be a stoic. You’re going to see significant fluctuations in PT scores. Your response to those fluctuations is key. I was ecstatic when I broke into the high 160’s, and devastated when my PT scores subsequently dropped to the low 160’s. By being conservative in your response to fluctuations, it makes it easier to avoid disappointment and psyching yourself out.

-The loophole is a great LR resource.

Good luck.

Is there any way to see and navigate through the full course concept tree that JY uses in the videos? I think it would help me connect the dots a little bit as to how some concepts relate to each other and help me figure out what to study again.
