Hi everyone,

Typically, I average between -4 and -2 in untimed LG sections. I have recently introduced timing into preparing for the LSAT and my score is usually between -8 and -6.

I've noticed that the reason why I get certain questions wrong is because I don't spend enough time upfront making inferences or splitting game boards. So, I end up spending most of my time using brute force to answer the questions.

I wanna get better at making inferences and seeing easily how games can be split up during the timed sections. Does any one have any input on what I should do going forward? I have heard of the foolproof method but have not tried it yet. I'm also open to any other suggestions!

Thank you!

I have been using older PTs to create "experimental" sections to add to the three section flex PTs and was wondering if they ever give a test that has the same section repeated back to back (eg. S3 RC experimental and S4 RC). I have unintentionally done this and it seems to really affect my score on the second repeated section. Should I keep preparing for this possibility or do they make sure that tests do not have this?

hi! i've been scoring consistently in the low-mid 170s for the last 2 months. i'm trying to build my mastery even more, and I've found that tutoring other people helps with this. if you would like some tutoring to work through tough LR q's and tough RC passages, or LG, i'd be more than happy to do so for free :) i have time these next few weeks to do so, so HMU!

It used to be that when I clocked on the syllabus, I could see which lessons I had completed/starred. For some reason this isn't showing up anymore. Does anyone know why this might be?

One of the main goals in reading comprehension is to accurately and descriptively identify the tone of the author of the passage. I did find a list of words on an academic website that are used to convey the tone of the author. However, it would be more beneficial if we try on our own to think and come up with a list. Also, for each word, try to give a quick explanation/meaning of the word!

I will start us out with a few.

The authors tone could be:

Curious - fascinated with the subject of the passage and wants to explore the topic further.

Approving - reinforces the topics presented in the passage and is willing to promote it.

Indifferent - Is neutral with the information discussed in the passage, neither positive or negative.

Once you finish the CC, should you just do the most recent PTs (like the most recent 20 or 30)? Or should you start with older PTs then move to some newer PTs so you don't "use up" all of the most recent PTs? I ask because I always hear that more recent PTs are quite a bit different than PTs from, say, ten years ago. I don't want to waste time taking old PTs that aren't very similar to more current tests, but I also don't want to burn through all the newer tests if that's not how it's meant to be done. Any help/advice is much appreciated!

Hi All,

I am just beginning my LSAT journey with 7Sage and was wondering what your strategy was/is with the core curriculum. I see that the lessons begin with LR, then get into LG and RC. Do y’all stick to the curriculum and get LR out of the way first, or jump around between all three in order to balance? I am worried about only doing LR, then the other two and forgetting everything. Please correct me if I am looking at the curriculum wrong, too!

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm looking to simulate post-flex LSAT (3 sections with 1 experimental and a 10-minute break). I plan to start my PT's in the 60's by selecting "Simulate Flex" so that there would be 3 sections, and then creating a separate "experimental section" using random sections from PT's 40-50. Occasionally I will take the "full" 4 section PT from 60+ to simulate the experimental section as a second LR section.

For the scoring, I'll just use the scores accumulated from each 3-section PT and not include the experimental section.

Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions about this? Should I do the experimental section with another group of PT's (e.g., 50-60), or is there another better way?

Thank you all for your help!

I just signed up for 7sage today , I have one month left till my exam. I have improved my score from 145 from my initial blind test to 155-156 now. I have been doing some practice questions and tests from Khan LSAT prep. What tips do you guys have for someone to make the most out of 7sage in one month? Thanks a bunch.
