If you do have to miss this session, we will be recording the conversation for our podcast!

Where can I find how difficult a LG full-section for a given PT and not just how difficult a given Game is?

For example, say I did a PT number X's LG section. where can I find it's difficulty comparison with PT-Y's LG section?

Looking for something other than adding difficulty of individual games of pt X to compare with PT Y.

Hey y'all!

On Wednesday, July 27th, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Building Better Boards: Tips for LG."

We're going to focus on the most basic element of LG - board construction. We'll cover the purpose of a board, rules behind splitting your board, and some best practices to avoid unforced errors. We'll have information for beginners and advanced students alike, so we hope you join us!

Does anyone have experience (either themselves or know of someone else) who has applied to law school during their third year of undergrad? How did it go?

Hi, I am struggling with games because I am not yet quickly able to make inferences to decipher the possible set ups. It seems this is the key to easily going through the questions, so I was wondering if there are any drills anywhere to practice this skill?

Hi all! I'm writing my first LSAT in August, and I was wondering when I should be expecting the email to sign up for Proctor U and schedule my exam time? I couldn't find any answers on the LSAC website, so I'm reaching out to you lovely people!

Hi there! Im looking to see if there is any interest from people for a little group that are planning to take the 2023 summer LSATs?!

Hi!I am looking for people to hold weekly study sessions with and an accountability group chat/ buddy system. I am available mostly on weekday mornings and afternoons. Let me know if you're interested and I will send an invite :)

How much can I realistically improve by then? I’m aiming for high 150s to low 160s.. LG was my best section. I struggled with LR and RC

For some reason only some of my videos give me the option to change video playback speed - is anyone else noticing this?

Sometimes for an easier question video I'll watch it at a faster speed and when I go to the next question I want to slow the video down but it's stuck in the faster speed that I changed it to on the last video. And I've noticed only sometimes the playback speed adjuster function shows up and sometimes does not. Is there a pattern to this or something, like are there maybe certain types of videos that don't have that function that I'm not catching on? I'm having that problem right now and I've tried refreshing the page and no matter however much I try to hover on different parts of the video it's not showing. Not urgent problem but can get annoying.

Hi everyone,

I am an international student going into my junior year and I am hoping to go directly to law school after college. In October, I am starting a year-long law program at the faculty of law at Oxford. I hear that the program is very intensive and I am bit worried about how realistic it would be for me to do LSAT prep while there. I am very hard working and driven which has also made more prone to burn out just because I always try to do too much and overthink everything (as you will see from this post). I am afraid the same would happen for my LSAT and Oxford program so I am seeking advice on how to go about it.

I did a diagnostic test and I got 139 and my goal is in the range of 167-172 (I need about 30 points increase which is a lot I know). I am really bad at standardized tests but I know I can improve with practice. I also like the learning that comes with LSAT so I am motivated in that way. I am willing to take as much time and effort as possible to reach my target score even if that means taking time off after college. But I also can't help but want to go directly to law school.

I have been working at a T14 law school and a top law firm this summer which has been a great experience. The general advice I would often hear with the legal professionals and my colleagues is that we highly recommend taking time off after college but they would tell me that they don't think I need that. They would say I am already mature enough and have the experiences of a professional. I am a couple of years older than the typical college student. This is not to brag but to give a perspective, I also founded my NGO at age 16, managed grants projects with +100k dollars budget, and I have lived and worked internationally. At my college, I have loved the academics and studying but it has been harder to connect with the rest of the student body because it feels that we are at different stages of our lives. Even my professors would say that I am like a grad student to them and I have built great relationships with them.

Now all that to say is I am impatient about law school and becoming a lawyer and I think I am ready for it. But I am also very insecure about my LSAT and ability to improve within that time frame I have left (a year) given my intensive academic program. What are your thoughts? Am I being irrational and paranoid? Do you think my LSAT target score is realistic within that timeframe? Also, should I just let go of studying for LSAT at Oxford and instead focus on my program there and plan to apply to law school in the 2024 or 2025 cycle?

I have noticed these forums have been very helpful others so wanted to give it a try and be as transparent and vulnerable about my worries as possible.

Thank you everyone!

Hello,

I am having troubles with my lsat score not improving. However it is also not declining either which is good (I hope)

Looking for some advice from anyone who has overcome this problem. I plan on applying for law school this fall and would really like to overcome this ASAP.

I need help, I suck big time in LR and I’m terrified, my test is in September! What should I do, I quit my two jobs and still can’t feel, I’m able to grasp this LR section. Never felt this way toward an exam before.

What I put; A irrelevance to argument.

Wrong bc.

The conclusion itself is that selfishness is true of all time periods. This is the argument, it is not irrelevant to the argument. It is just argued poorly.

The correct anser is E.

The argument uses selfishness in two ways.

At first, characterizes selfishness as individualism.

Them, says that acts on behalf of the human species are selfish.

Acting on behalf of the human species may be selfish, but it is not individualistic.

The argument that all periods, not just the 80s, can be characterized by selfish individualism, is not advanced by saying acts on behaf of humankind r selfish

is the new lsat (all 2022 tests) 3 or 4 scored sections? i've read different things.

Hi everyone! I'm Raphael and I'm one of the 99th-percentile tutors here at 7Sage. This coming month, I'm offering a group class to teach LSAT fundamentals. This class is perfect for those of you who are still working through core curriculum or those who, after finishing it, still feel like they want a bump on fundamentals and elements of timing.

Classes begin Thursday, August 4th, at 9pm and meet weekly at that time through October 10.

We have 16 spots, but they fill up fast. Join us here, and comment below if you have questions! https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-fundamental-piliero-august/

I recently completed the first PT in the curriculum (February 1997) and was very surprised to see I achieved a 166. Due to the age of this LSAT, is this score inflated compared to what my score would be on a modern version of the test? If I took the modern LSAT tomorrow, would I expect a similar score (of course ignoring nervousness and slightly changed question types)?

I also took the October 2002 PT and scored 162, but since this is also quite old, is this score also inflated?

Ive read the "how to understand your LSAT score" thing many times, but im still not sure if I completely understand, and perhaps this is where my confusion is coming from.

Thanks!

Hi all,

When using the Auto Builder in Drilling mode for LR, I selected "incorrect questions from PTs previously taken." Yet, it used two questions from a PT I have not previously taken. I have few clean PTs left and I'm skeptical to use it again if it will draw from those clean PTs. Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi, I'll be taking the August test and I wanted to know if anyone had any tips on timing for LR and problem solving. My goal score is a 170-175 and I'm finding myself stuck on certain question types. I'm currently scoring in the mid 160s and have majority of my wrong answers in LR. Thanks!

Just started RC for like a month. Realize that most of questions I got wrong are either because I think too much or think too little (ignore some details which are stupidly obvious). Also struggling with time… Too much time wasted on reading and overthinking… I am not a good reader. The only books I ve read in my life are textbooks… Did my best to follow what JY suggested but got -14 on the Feb 1997 PT and scored 155. Feel crashed… I mean at least I need get over 160… A lot of people say I just need to practice more. But seriously, can practice actually make you better (not even perfect) on RC?

I was just wondering if after purchasing an editing package we are able to choose the person who edits it from the list of editors? Let me know! Thank you!

So next to all lessons on the syllabus there is an estimated time it takes to complete that lesson. Do you all find the estimate to be a reasonable amount of time per lesson?

I am asking because I just spent about an hour and a half on a lesson that is estimated at 7mins. I find I frequently take much longer than the estimated time (I have never requested or received extended test times or any other accommodations in college).

I spent that time reading the text, watching the video, hand writing notes, reading some of the comments, and copying down very helpful info from the top rated comments, and googling a few quick definitions.

I just constantly feel like I am going too slow, and not making enough progress fast enough. If I recall, the total estimated time for my study plan is like 577 hours. If that is calculated using their estimated times, and I almost always run over, the 577 is gonna be more like 1000 or 1500+ hours of studying. Meaning instead of being able to stick to my 9 or 12 months of studying it could be 24 or even 36+ months of studying. Which is kinda freaking me out at this point. Anyone have any advice or anything?

Need an affordable tutor (20$ to 30$) specifically for LR. I am currently at -6/7.

Just getting started with 7sage and wanted to know if drills were incorporated into our study schedule or if that's something we should do on our own? I also saw that these drills come from PTs and wanted to know if that would affect my performance when I take these tests after completing the core curriculum.
