I believe this should be a weaken question not flaw. Manhattan says its weaken too. Besides, the right answer choice E is giving a new cause- that of not being extroverted as a person OVER astrology affecting them.

I started LSAT with 144, then I was stuck at 154-155. I remember drilling LG for 6 months still getting -6/-7, started with -16. Thoughts were coming into my mind. Was this the end of it? Was I mentally limited? Then I came across this book "Genius in all of us"- free downloadable. This book I found out from 7sage users scoring 170s. I read it and learned brain can reshape. So, I said to myself, well maybe I do not have a head start, but if a restructuring in a brain is required then let it be. I started pushing myself more and more in a hope to catch a break. Eventually, I did. I started hitting -0 LG and then eventually -0 in 30 minutes. Next up was LR, Again I stumbled. Stuck at -10, why could not I do it asking myself. One word change in a stimulus is the flaw, darn is that even possible? After 3-4 months of straight drilling along with JY reviews and Manhattan prep review, I went down to -3 consistent, started with -17. In my real LSAT, Term shift showed up and I laughed after catching it. Next was RC. I could not even understand the passages. I said to myself can anyone? Obviously, I learned the hard way, I was the dumb one. Being a science background, I had it easy with those, but Law and Art/humanity remained a challenge. I did 7sage law preview 3 months along with RC and defined most recurrent words. Law passage and science passage became easy. Art did not and I screwed that passage in the real test also, but ultimately, went from 144 to high 160s on practice. I did get in 160s on real also. Ultimately, self learning is probably not the most efficient, however, doable. Tutor may cut the time significantly. Either way, if you are in a position I was, read the book, empower your mind, fall get up, fall get up, do it 500 times if it needs, probably will need if going into 170 (given 99 tests), but change the dam brain if needed and get what you want.

I studied LSAT for about 11 months in span of 13 months.

Hello,

I often find myself eliminating three answer choices, resulting in two remaining choices that I waste undue amounts of time deciding between. Does anyone have any advice on a formulaic way of selecting an answer choice with the highest chance of accuracy while minimizing the amount of time lost? Thank you!

If I take the LSAT in August 2022, will I still be able to apply for law school so that I can begin in Fall 2023?

Hello! I am currently at Introduction to Logic in the course, however I have experience studying in another course so I do have an understanding of each section for the most part. I have taken one timed prep test and have been studying for three weeks now. I wanted to wait until I had a basic understanding of each question type before taking timed prep tests as to not burn out, lose motivation due to subpar results, etc..

I work a full time job on top of volunteer hours. Will one to two prep tests a week be fine? Should I start now or should I build up a better understanding of each section through 7Sage? It's been a great help so far but I worry that I am wasting my time. I'll admit I started studying a little later than some might advise.

Thank you.

Very best,

Belle

Hello! My question was related to how it would be best recommended to get through the curriculum. Is it worth my time to do all of the problem sets in a given unit, or should I do a few problem sets and move on to the next unit to cover more ground? I am scared I might be spinning my tires if I do too many problem sets and waste time that could be used learning about different question types or different sections, but I don't want to miss out on something if it is important to do all of the questions. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

For this question, I did not choose A because I created a world where F is not 1 lower than S and I don't understand what I'm getting wrong, I doubled checked the rules.

The world is: F K J S M G H

lol I know I did not crack the lsat, #help fr

Thanks :)

I've noticed lately that my accuracy on the arts RC passages (art movements, literature, architecture, etc.) tends to be lower than my accuracy on all the other types. My best explanation for this is that I simply have a harder time absorbing and comprehending the information presented in these passages due to having had little exposure to the subject matter (I'm majoring in math and philosophy). It's taking too much brains-space to try and read for structure as well as keeping details in mind for those questions that ask for specifics (I scan the questions before reading the passage). I think reading some literature similar to those arts passages might help with this problem by giving me more exposure. Does anyone have recommendations as to where I could start to look?

Taking the LSAT in August btw

Does anyone remember the game set of sequencing toys?

I remember it was sequencing toys with different colors..!

Didn't took a note on that:(

I am having a hard time understanding the rationale behind the correct answer choice being 'B' and why it wouldn't be choice 'D'

The LSN and 7Sage data suggest international applicants are at a disadvantage. The 7Sage Predictor suggests a 15% lower chance of admission.

Does this apply to Canadian applicants as well?

In the real LSAT test with the computer, can you really draw the logic just like JY did? I cannot imagine that I can draw the logic on the scratch paper and read the passage on the screen at the same time. Also, can you read the questions aloud? I don't sound loudly, but it's louder than whispering. I'm a slow reader, and if I don't read the passage aloud, I have to read it again and again to understand the context. Moreover, I am familiar with paper tests, so I am aware that I will have to spend more time reading the questions on the screen.

Hi. I took April LSAT then scored 158 from the test (I am planning to cancel this score since I purchased the LSAT score preview). It is not a horrible result as a first-time test taker, but disappointing for me b/c I am aiming the score around 165 as my target.

I know I am looking forward to substantial rise, but I wish to ask: do you think is it possible for me to get 165 in just three weeks?

My average PT score is around 160 - 165, depending on questions, conditions..etc. In usual, it stays around 160-162 and reach up to 165 on a lucky day.

Now I am preparing for June LSAT, which is only three weeks away from now (I will take the test in South Korea btw), and wish to ask for some advices about my plan and feasibility of getting this target score.

I am not really worrying about LG since I have gotten -0, -1, or -2 in most (almost all) recent attempts. I think what should I do is taking a section drill in every day or two then getting more comfortable with this section.

My LR scores are really inconsistent. Sometimes I get -3, sometimes it drops down to -9. I've considered the reason why. For now, I suppose one reason lies on the moment when I fall into a loophole. When I cannot understand points of some questions, I often get to think too deeply then feel some obviously wrong answer choices look correct (I regret a lot on this type of questions when I review). Therefore, I am re-reading Powerscore, LSAT trainer, Notes I've taken from 7Sage courses, and wrong questions to specify a proper thinking strategy I should hold during a test thus I can return to this task whenever I try to fall into a loophole. I am also taking a section drill in every two days to clarify whether this is working or not.

RC is my weakest section. I usually get -7 and get almost half wrong when I completely screwed it up (not really often). I've re-read a LSAT trainer to identify the reason why, as I've done in LR, then found out the fact that I often focus on a tree instead of a forest. When I reach to questions about a specific part of passage, I focus too much on the part they specified then neglect/forget a general purpose or main points of the work. This made me missing a whole point during the test then getting wrong on both general and specific questions. Therefore, to overcome this bad habit, I am writing down a purpose of each passage whenever I review the passages I've done and taking a section drill every day to adapt myself into a more general perspective. + I'm especially struggling with a comparative passage because I am really, REALLY bad at it. I often miss the relationship between two passages and distort a point of the Passage A while reading the Passage B. Thus, if you have any specific tip on solving a comparative passage's questions, I am happy to hear that.

I am planning to take a full PT once or twice per week (may take 3 PTs in a last week or two), depending on the amount of time for review. In between each PT, I will take two section drills almost every day while I review. (LG, RC for day 1, LR, RC for day 2...) I planned like this because I think what should I do right now is clarifying the BEST thinking strategy for me for each section, not just mechanically taking PTs over and over again. I believe this may bring my score up substantially.

How do you think about the plans above? Well, even I am not really optimistic on getting the score I am aiming for, but nevertheless, I wish to do my best under the current circumstance. Therefore, I am happy to hear any comment/advice. If you have any tip on question solving (especially on RC and LR), it would be grateful if you can share.

Hello!

I am looking for a 1 on 1 tutor in the Philadelphia area… any recommendations? I would like to work on building a study schedule, setting realistic expectations, and to have someone help me evaluate where I am going wrong on prior test and practice tests and to help identify my weaknesses and strengths.

Thank you :)

I don't understand how E is the answer. I can we say that it must true that some of his friends must be lying? Is it cause we know that John isn't unique from them and knows no person who smoked 40 cigarettes a day for the past 40 years

and yet who is really fit and well?

What insights or resources helped you to conquer Reading Comp?

I am having a hard time understanding why 'D' is the correct answer choice. I initially chose 'A' as my answer, yet obviously, this was incorrect. I was hoping someone could break it down for me and explain why 'D' is correct and why 'A' is incorrect. Thank you in advance

Please explain how the correct answer was determined.

I am 28 years old and a full time nurse. I plan to only apply to part time night programs for law school for fall of 2023. My plan right now is to try and have a baby before I start year 1. I am aware it can take a long time to get pregnant but ideally the baby would be anywhere from 8 to 3 months old before classes start. I would be able to take advantage of my maternity leave with my current job and my phenomenal health insurance. While in school I would hire a babysitter 4-5 hours a day so I can exclusively study but the baby wouldn't have to leave the house and go to daycare. I would be home for emergencies just studying in my office. My goals for doing this would be to be able to have a child almost in school by the time I am an associate (Part time programs take 4 years). I would not have to worry about infant care and being a brand new attorney with demanding partners/clients ect and working a grueling day time schedule.

My other options are pushing back my pregnancy after year one and having a baby in the summer hopefully in-between semesters. The downside is not having maternity leave or dual insurances.

Has anyone on this forum had a baby prior to year 1 and had success pairing this with a part time program? Or is this absolutely insane even with a part time night program?

I should also mention I have a super supportive husband who works a very reliable 8-4 job who would be the primary caregiver while I am in class in the evening.

I just submitted my documentation for the LSAT waiver and is currently conditionally approved. I know I can register the test and CAS without having to pay, but has anyone gotten access to the 1-year Law Hub prep plus? Would it also be possible to get the 7 sage discount without the LSAT fee waiver be officially approved? (I’m willing to pay the fee in full shall my Lsat fee waiver be rejected later).

UPDATE: thank you all for answering! I got mine approved the second day and got both Prep Plus invitation link and 7Sage fee waiver the next day!

Does anyone know approximately what the score breakdown would be for PT 90 if you included the experimental LR as the fourth section? I took it as a practice for the June exam but the scores are all shown as a flex.

My former tutor showed me how to make a wrong answer journal using Word, but I am wondering if anyone has a wrong answer journal in Excel. If yes, can anyone send me a file just so that I can see how you are creating the document itself?

Hello everyone! If you're taking the LSAT in September of 2022 and in need of a study group, comment on this post!

Hi there! I am just getting started with my LSAT studying and I've been finding the quizzes super helpful to build my foundational knowledge. I like to take detailed notes on my answers, but I find clicking "Print This" for each page cumbersome. Is there a PDF file somewhere with all these questions? Or am I forced to make friends with the "Print This" button. Thanks!

Hello 7Sage Community,

I am returning to 7Sage with a heavy heart after an unsuccessful attempt at the 2022 admission cycle up here in Canada. I did not meet my goal for the LSAT of scoring a 160+ and only achieved a 155 on the January 2022 exam. Unfortunately my LSAT score along with my ok GPA (3.75) was not enough to get into 5/8 schools I applied for. I am on the wait list for 1 school (unlikely to be offered a spot based on my position on the list) and waiting to hear from the last 2. I am not hopeful based on the fact that I haven't heard anything by the middle of May from those 2 schools and starting to come to terms with the fact that I need to start preparing again for the 2023 cycle. I had stopped studying since the January exam and was hoping I wouldn't have to return to it... but here we are.

My Study Journey:

My first cold PT before studying was a 149 and after 500-600 hours of study across about 5 months I only improved to a 155. I completed the 7Sage core curriculum and then began taking full PT's under timed conditions, followed by blind review. My best section is LR where I have gotten as high as -6 with an average of -8. My next best section is RC where I have gotten as high as -6 with an average of -10. My worst section is LG (I was awful to start), I am a very visual person and struggle under the time constraints. My best score in an LG section is -9 and my average is -13. I was focusing especially hard on LG in the last month prior to Jan 2022 exam and have completed almost every game in PT's 1-35 between 2-4 times as well as some games in the later exams. I almost got to the point of enjoying the games, much more so then when I first started studying. I am not quite to the level of enjoying them and still fear this section the most, however my understanding is that this is where most people can make the largest score improvement. I am hopeful that a decent improvement is still possible for my LG score in particular.

My 2 main questions after that long winded opening are:

What is the best way to get back into studying again? Would people recommend running through the full core curriculum again, or focus on weak areas? Or jump back into problem sets and then full PT's?

Are there any low-cost/free tutoring services that anyone is aware of? I have done some googling but only found courses (similar to 7Sages's) charging hundreds per hour or thousands for a package which is really tough/impossible to swing for me financially at the moment. Not sure if anyone has any good resources/ideas or if a study group is the next best option without further overloading my credit card lol.

My goal is still to score over 160 so I would really appreciate any insights that people have regarding my situation and how to add at least 5 points to my score. I have always found the 7Sage community to be very helpful and would love to hear any advice that people might have.

Thanks in Advance!
