Hi all,

I understand that a lot of 7Sagers fool proof games so they they can eventually do each game in a section at or below the time suggestion noted on the 7Sage LG explanation videos. I completed the LG section from PT 11 and thankfully got all the questions correct under 35 minutes. However, for games 1 and 2 I was under time, and games 3 and 4 I was over time (ex. for game 1, the time suggestion was 7.5 minutes but i completed the game in 6 minutes. for game 3, the time recommendation was 11 minutes, but I took 13 minutes). I wanted to know if this indicates that I have timing issues or if its perfectly okay and normal to be quicker on one or two games in a section and take a little longer on games 3 and 4 if that means I am finishing the section in 35 minutes? Appreciate your help!

Scored a 166 in April, it's down to 161 in June. I'm not even sure of what went wrong; I felt good coming out of the test despite a proctor interruption. Threw me off on the final bit of LG (had only a couple questions left on the final game) but I was okay for RC which was the final section - I just don't know what went wrong.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? I didn't expect to do this badly at all

So I started off with a diagnostic of 133..rough. Just took another prep test for fun even though I haven't gotten to logic games yet or reading comp, and scored a 138. Seeing that score made me lose major motivation in even trying to go to law school. Any tips on what I can do from here on out to improve? I'm signed up for the October LSAT.

Hi, I have just purchased the Ultimate+ with the bundle package and received a confirmation email but when I log out and sign back into my 7Sage, it still says I need to purchase a subscription. What should I do?

Can anyone explain why C is wrong? I was between A and C and I chose C.

I’m registered for the August 2021 LSAT, where we’ll have 4 section with a 10-minute break between section 2 and 3. To prepare I’ve been doing full length PT with the same 10 minute break in middle. However, I find that my scores in section 2 and 3 tend to be my lowest and I do feel myself become more passive as I read. Also on the break I tend to close my eyes or mentally test but I think that could be contributing as well since the 10 minute break isn’t exactly waking me up.

I am considering doing 3 sections back to back to increase stamina, focus, and endurance. Do you think that would help amp up my focus in those sections?

I received 24 college credits in high school through 4 different colleges. They were just normal high school classes that I was then allowed to pay a fee and complete a few extra assignments to get college credit. Do I have to list these schools separately in the education section or just Marist College where I actually attended for undergrad. I uploaded all 5 transcripts to LSAC.

Hi, so I was unhappy with my June 2021 LSAT score and have lost some confidence. Should I still take the August exam or truly try and prep for the October examination instead? Or simply take both? For some background info, the June LSAT Flex was the first exam I have taken.

My preptest formatting is off. It won't allow me to save questions that I am unsure about for blind review and I feel like taking preptests is a waste if I can't use the highlighting feature nor circle questions I was uncertain about. Can anyone #help me figure out this technical issue?

I did not understand this question. Can anyone please offer a detailed explanation of this one that can help me further attack future questions regarding this question type?

I've noticed that when I practice questions on LR I consistently get the harder half wrong and the easier half right. Does any one have advice for how I can possibly improve and polish up my LR skills. This is my hardest section on the exam, and have just begun to understand the differences in question types. I feel like I am missing something to unlock getting these harder questions correct. Thank you guys for any insight!

My untimed score was a whopping 13 points higher than a clean timed PT. It was 7 points higher than my usual blind review score. Other than LG, I didn't use THAT much more time than 35 minutes. Maybe somewhere around 45 minutes. Anyone curious as to how we can efficiently push through this moat?

I am confused on one of the lesson. Lesson 11 question 2 says that it's not an argument because the author is only reporting what the researchers concluded. Lesson 16 question 4 has the same scenario that the author is sharing what researchers concluded but yet this one does have a premise and conclusion. Just wondering how this is different. Thank you

Hello folks,

I have signed up for August 2021 LSAT, and I am not confident enough that I could obtain the score that I am aiming for.

Would October 2021 LSAT day be okay for Fall 2022 application?

Thank you for your sage advice as always! 😁🙏

I'm debating to cancel or keep my June 2021. It was about 90th percentile but I'm shooting for 170+ and faced some issues on test day. I think I can do better but don't know if a cancel would look worse than just keeping my score. Any advice?

Hello,

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and have applied for accommodations for the August 2021 LSAT. I am curious if this information is given to schools by LSAC/my undergraduate institution and if there is any affect upon admissions decisions if so.

Thanks!

when I do RC untimed, I get -4 but when I do it timed I average -11. I have been using a new approach which helps me understand the passage more, but any suggestions on how to transition to do this timed by the August test?

I've been studying with 7Sage for about a year now and I have a question regarding embedded conditionals. I know there's already a lesson on how to translate an embedded conditional; however, I found a weird conditional while studying the LSAT and was wondering how you would go about translating this one as it's the opposite of the embedded conditional.

What is taught in the embedded conditional module on 7Sage is that when you see, "If A, then /B unless C" you just translate it to, "A and B, then C"

I understand this. But while studying LR, I found an unusual type of embedded conditional that goes the other way around. How would you go about translating this? The embedded conditional, I forgot what specific PT/ question, said something along the lines of: "/A unless B, then C." Just confused on how to translate this as this is not the same as the former example provided by J.Y. Would it still be the same translation? I don't think it would, right?

Hey Everyone! I wanted to ask you all for advice. I recently took the June LSAT and got a 158. Since this is my first LSAT, I have the option until today to cancel my score but im not sure if I should. I've listened to most opinions and understand law schools don’t care much about your past scores and only need to report your highest score. I plan on taking it again in August with a goal of a 170+. So, is there any benefit for cancelling or keeping? I did pay for the score preview so I don’t want to waste money if there’s even little benefit. Would a single score or a score improvement look better? Thanks so much.

Hi all, I am currently in the 172-175 range for PTs but have not been able to do as well on the actual LSAT. I have taken the real thing multiple times and my high is a 169.

I am looking for a study buddy or tutor, if available, with whom I can talk about the LSAT, run through problem sets and individual Qs, etc.

Is anyone interested? It would probably be best if it was someone scoring in the high 160s or higher.

do you guys ever end up hating the lsat and just feeling so so stupid? sometimes ill do something and feel confident then check my test scores and im like omg what is wrong with me. I end up beating myself up over answer choices and feel like no matter how hard I work I'm constantly missing something. When I do well I feel energized and happy and when I do bad I end up calling myself names and end up going into self hatred mode. is this normal?

So I know the most recent PT's are obviously the most representative of the real thing... but I am running short on these and so I have had to now turn to older PT's to compensate and get that "never before seen" experience.

I know the test has changed a lot since the 1990's but could performance on these still help serve as an accurate predictor of one's scores?

Hello! Due to a lot of unfortunate circumstances (loss of job, funeral, etc) I have fallen a good few weeks behind on the study schedule. Whenever they explain the study schedule they say if you fall behind you can adjust it but I am not sure how to do that? I am trying to adjust it so its more evenly spread out on what I need to catch up on rather than just overdoing myself and burning out trying to catch up. How do I do this? Thank you!

How long did it take you to find that balance where you know you need to slow down on certain questions?

I'll go through my BR and miss like 3 stupid ones, and than perhaps 2-3 more difficult ones. I feel like just avoiding the small mistakes would get me to a consistent 165 at least.

I think I like have an understanding of all the questions and stuff. I suppose my challenge is the execution.

P.S. if anyone has any general or specific questions on how to get to early 160ish avg score thats in the 150s feel free to send a message. It's helpful for me to walk through someone a LR or RC question that may not understand.

Hi all, I am unsure if I am going through a natural digression from my typical performance or if it is a symptom of burnout. I have recently began to do considerably worse on PTs and sections, although if feel that I still understand the material fairly well. I will say that I have been getting less sleep than usual recently, but I am not convinced that is the only reason for my atypical performance. What are the symptoms of burnout and how do you treat it while not being entirely absent from studying? Does this sound like a natural progression in scoring that everyone goes through?
