I have read through several discussion threads and am seeing a lot of the same thing. If you go too hard the week leading up to your test, you'll likely be burnt out and under perform. I had a big plateau in early July, but have since improved and am scoring above my target score. I worry, slightly, that because I am just now getting PT's above my target, that I need to press on and take at least 4 more PT's. Is this too much? Would I be better off just resting and taking a few drills of problematic questions types? Any advice appreciated!

Am I confused or wouldn’t I be able to see an accurate depiction of my lsat score for this upcoming august lsat by just taking the flex version that 7 sage offers? I know that the august lsat will be four sections but since one of the sections is not scored does it really matter if you take all four sections on the practice PTs. I feel like taking the four section PTs gives me an inaccurate score since 7 sage grades the fourth “ experimental section.”

I am taking the LSAT for the first time in August. Do I have to complete my writing sample before the exam or do I have a few days after to complete it? I saw in June you were able to complete the writing after you complete the LSAT but just want to make sure I don't miss my window! I'd rather not waste time on that until after I've finished the LSAT.

I get that starting a separate thread for each question I have would probably be bad form, but I was wondering if I could start a new thread, say for every 10 (or even 20) of my help tag requests that go unanswered. Of course, after receiving useful help, I'll go update my original request with helpful response from others; that would seem to be the least I could do to "pay it forward".

From the general ethos of this site, my take is that this would be permissible, but I want to make sure I don't run afoul of anything.

Or is the prevailing view here that those unanswered help tag requests should be best left for tutors on an individual basis?

Background: A lot of help tags rarely get answered. I may have at most 2 out of 10 answered so far. And as I am making my way through the curriculum, I often see unanswered comments with help tags from months ago. Perhaps those questions no longer need to be addressed, but I get the impression that having them addressed earlier would have been beneficial to the original requester.

I'm just starting the core curriculum, but I tend to start my day by browsing the list of help tags. Some of these are inappropriate for me to answer (e.g. unfamiliar topics), but as I have retained quite a bit from the college-level prepositional logic course at which I did well, I try to help out where I can, fully cognizant of the fact that I'm also benefiting by having to formulate and distill my own thought processes while I answer the questions.

Hey 7sagers,

I just wanted to see what y'all think the best use of the 10 minute break between the 2nd and 3rd sections is. Any particular things to do or stay away from?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am currently on the game section of the CC. I noticed that JY draws sub-gameboards for some games while just write down the rules for some games without making sub-gameboards. He tackles the questions just with rules when making the latter decision. He did state to make as much inference as possible by drawing different sub-gameboards before tackling the questions, but for some game rules, we have about 6-7 different sub-gameboards to draw, which makes me run out of given time. I am just wondering how are we supposed to know whether to draw all the sub-gameboards or just write down the rules and use the rules to answer the questions.

Let me give you a clearer example.

On the CC Sequencing Game Problem Set 2, JY only wrote down the rules for the game on PT 30 S1 Q18-Q23 without writing the sub-gameboards. His reason was that “there are only three rules.” However, if we look at CC Sequencing Game Problem Set 3 PT 29 S3 Q14-Q19, JY draws two sub-gameboards and use them to answer the questions.

I noticed that if we are to solve the game questions in a given time that JY tells us to do, which is under 5-7 minutes per game, we literally have to know how to tackle the game the moment we read the rules written in English.

Could you please share your thought on this?

As always, I really appreciate you for reading my question and taking time out of your day to answer my question.

I live in South Korea and am currently doing the CC. If anyone is interested in meeting at a study cafe and doing it together, we certainly can. I live at Songdo, Incheon but can travel to Gangnam, Sindorim, Bupyeong, etc.

Started studying in late May with a 150 diagnostic and have improved to scoring in the low 160s, but have regressed to the mid 150s in the couple of 80s PTs I've taken. Before, I was going -3-5 in LR, and now I'm going -11... I just feel so discouraged and like none of the hard work I've put in has helped now. Anyone else experience something similar and overcome it?

My approach to both is to view the correct AC as a MBT and the four other ACs as CBT/CBF/MBFs. Similarly to MBT, for MSS will the correct answer always be an inference/ conclusion? If so, is the only real difference between MSS and MBT questions the question stem format? Or for MSS will the correct AC sometimes just be a statement that is a MBT but not necessarily an inference?

I guess bottom line is I'm asking how you all approach these two question stems, and if you have the same strategy for both? Or if there are significant differences between the two that warrant a different approach for both?

TIA!

I just went through the memory method curriculum. Is it useful to do the drill again with the same passage if you don't remember everything the first time (after a couple of days) or is it not worth it to do that with RC?

Does anyone know if 7sage has a section for where you can just take practice sections? I know I could take a practice test and only one section but I don't know what the section type is until I start.

What I'm looking for is a place to only do LR/RC?LG test sections to build endurance and speed.

Although I am getting better at locating the conclusion in the stimulus, the answer choices are throwing curve balls and hard punches below the belt. Can someone help me please......?

On this question, while I was able to understand and agree that the conclusion was sentence 1, the answer choices all look so..... attractive and it is difficult to understand why the answers are right and wrong. In speeding through this question, I took a second look thereby, in studying and going back, they all look so... wrong to the point that I would disagree that any of them are correct.

The correct AC, (B), allegedly makes a recommendation "..., is advisable...", and allegedly includes additional information as per "..., in as high proportion of their experiments....".

Help..........!!!!!!!?????

I assume it is a relationship between the words "possible" and "can"?

Hi There!

I just registered for 7Sage on Sunday, August 1. My diagnostic score was 146 and my Blind Review score was 153. I plan on sitting for the LSAT in July 2022 and my goal score is 170+. I am searching for study buddies who would be sitting for the LSAT next year, whose goal score is 165+, and are willing to team up with me to beat the LSAT. Please contact me if you are interested.

I wish everyone success in their preparation for the LSAT and career path.

How would you diagram the highlighted sentence. It has three conditional indicators ("if"- group 1 sufficient, "unless"- group 3 negate/sufficient and "cannot" group 4- negate, necessary)?

Pretty much in title

So I'm trying to improve on my LR and I usually have the most trouble with the most difficult LR questions (4 or 5 stars). A common question type here are really challenging Strengthen and Weaken questions.

I often review these missed questions in-depth and try to practice them untimed. While I do get these questions right again untimed, in timed conditions, I miss them over and over.

How do you get to a level of acing these questions consistently? I feel like the biggest issue is getting them correct under the intense time pressure

I am really struggling with reading this chain. I was under the understanding that two "some" statements lead to an invalid argument, so I didn't think we could make a Must Be True statement. How do you read the chain to get to the correct AC?

Soooo. Im sitting, grinding for my exam, fullproofing games, and the interface is acting all funky. I see a bunch of boxes where I should be able to click things like changing time and submitting.... anybody else experiencing this? I have tried logging in and out, shutting my computer down, different wifi, etc........

Does anyone here have their August LSAT exam scheduled for the early morning of 8/14?

I have already scheduled my exam for 8 am on 8/15, however, due to some family emergency, I will be flying an international flight on the night of 8/14, and be occupied thereafter. Therefore, the morning of 8/14 will be the only day for me to take the August exam.

However, all the 8/14 test sessions are now full on Proctor U. I wonder if anyone here is scheduled for 8/14 and is so kind to be willing to trade time session with me? I am so sorry to trouble you guys here, but I really cannot think of another way to solve this time conflict.

I'm noticing that the 70-75 mark, games are more easy in terms of logic games with barely any misc games, difficulty spikes in reading comprehension with passages being 8 questions sometimes and much longer passages, and practical complete shifts in LR to strength/weaken/flaw questions with the other types sprinkled in.

Am I being too analytical or is this shift more permanent so I should change my remaining study schedule?

Thanks!

I have absolutely no guidance from my school and don't know anyone that has gone through this process, so looking for any guidance and advice you all can give me. I recieved a 171 on my first LSAT and am hoping for a 174-176 on my next one. My UG GPA is a 3.66 right now, but it is dragged down by my first semester of college when I got a 2.6. Since then, I have recieved either a 3.9 or 4.0 pretty much every semester. Should I be considering t14s? Should I write an addendum?

Will they appreciate an upward curve like in UG admissions or do they just look at the number and call it a day?

I have a ton of leadership roles as well- I am the president of tour guides at my school, am on Mock Trial and a couple other clubs. I don't have much in terms of law-based internships or anything but have a lot of work experience and am the head intern at Admissions for my school this year. I'm not sure if law schools consider this stuff at all or just say they do.

TLDR: Where should I be applying with a 174 (ish) and a 3.66??

I am taking the August LSAT, which is my first, and am hoping to get my score ASAP so I know both if I need to take it again in October and if I should cancel my score. I know there is a warning that you cannot get your grade until after your written section has been accepted. A few questions regarding the process:

1) How long does it usually take for a written section to be confirmed?

2) If I took the written section a few days after the test would my score be delayed?

3) If my score is delayed, will I still be able to cancel that score using my one time option as a new test taker?

At the moment I am laser focused on trying to get the best possible score and I don't want to lose that by shifting focus to the written section. I am hoping to get some opinions on whether that is the right strategy or if I should bite the bullet and do the written section before the rest of the test.

Hey everyone,

For question types such as Flawed Method (especially where the question is asking you to find what the argument is taking for granted) that often have multiple answer choices that contain assumptions, what are people's strategies in determining whether an assumption is reasonable or not?

Looking to make a study group! There are some LR and RC that I think can really benefit from having more brains looking at it. Lmk if you are down and I will add you on discord and set up regular meeting dates!

I also would love some folks to talk to about statements!
