In this question I did
EP -> NS ->/P
P - >/ NS -> /EP
I don't remember where in the CC JY Covered Subscripts and I am not sure how/when to use them.
When I tried to use them before after a quick google search, I would put subscripts and then in JYs video he wouldn't use them so I am just unsure of how to use them according to sage.
Can anyone help?

I'm hoping someone can come and drop some much needed advice! I have a very bad problem of not trusting myself, and second guessing my answers. When I look back at the questions that I've missed, for quite a few of them, I had the right answer first, then I talked myself out of it. I know I could be scoring closer to where I want to be scoring; I just need to get over this last hurdle. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop doing this?
Hey everyone, I'm taking the LSAT scheduled for 2 weeks from now and with classes being over I'm looking to really dedicate a lot of time to studying for the exam. In the past few weeks i've been PT'ing in the mid 160's, (with an outlier score of 174), and I'm looking to squeeze out any additional advantage i can get in the upcoming days and figure a study group could help. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll add you to the discord server i've created!
Hey everyone I appreciate all the interest and I'm really excited to have some people to study with over the next few days. I've attached the Discord below, now that schools out I'm pretty much free all day to study and am willing to acquiesce to any of the groups scheduling conflicts.
I started studying for the LSAT since May 1st. My diagnostic was 147. Since then, I worked on the foundations of RC and LR specifically since I had a decent/good grasp of logic games. 3 weeks later, I did a PrepTest and scored 156. Today, I scored a 160. While I'm happy about this jump, I'm afraid that these past two scores were just lucky and they weren't real representations of my learning and improvement. I'm also aware that it's very common to have some fluctuations in your score for a variety of reasons, but I would love some advice and opinions on whether I deserve to feel good about this or if I need to do more PrepTests for a more realistic idea of my progress until test day (August, in which I'm hoping to score 170+). Has anyone else had a sharp increase in their score within a short period of time? If so, how did your score change afterwards?
Hi everyone,
I'm planning to take the LSAT in two weeks and have been studying consistently since February. I've taken about 20 PTs so far. In the 70s, early 80s, and PT 88, I hit my target of 167+ (breaking into 170 territory). However, I'm now working my way through the mid-80s and my scores have dipped. This past week and a half, I've taken 83-87, scoring consistently at 165, which is lower than what I want. I'm now doubting whether I'm ready for the real deal, or if I'm just starting to experience some burnout. I've noticed a larger number of errors on LR in particular. Any advice on how to proceed here? Thank you!
Just wanted any tips or advice from people. I write the June LSAT in 2 weeks. I read all the bibles starting in feb and when I graduated at the end of April I got down to business. I started at around 153 three or four weeks ago and have since grinded my way to an average score of 160. I was temporarily stuck at ~158 but now I am ACTUALLY stuck at 160 for the past 7 tests I took regardless if it was PT 83 or PT 52. Any advice for LR or RC just to at least move me over this hump as I am now nervous as everyone tells me to expect to hit lower on the real test. I only want a 160+ mark. ://////. I get around 7-9 wrong in RC, 5-8 wrong in LR, and honestly I'm fine with LG at around 0-3. I struggle with the HARDER questions on LR and any advice how to start hitting those would rock. I PT everyday as well as review some untimed LR sections.
Hi everyone, I took PT 71 today and realized that I saw 3 of the LR questions before during Khan Academy drills in December 2020. Other than the LR section, the LG and RC were completely new to me. Do you think that this detracts from the predictive ability of my PT score?
Anybody have a list of challenging and/or uncommon vocabulary words that make their way into the LSAT? If so, would this amazing person mind sharing?
Thanks in advance :)
I've read that the August LSAT will be back to four sections, but one of them will be experimental and therefore your score won't count. Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but will the experimental section definitely be another LR like it is on all LSAC PTs, or could it also be RC or LG?
I was completely stuck between C and D.
Was D incorrect because it alluded to incompatibility when government standards are undefined?

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone out there! To start, I took an official LSAT last august with a goal of 160-162ish. I was hoping to get into some good schools but didn’t have my sight set on any top schools. However, I got a 157 :/ I decided that I felt like I was rushing my applications and with that consideration plus my LSAT score I decided to wait another year to apply. Since then I’ve been grinding out LSAT studying and I am so happy to say that I just got a 172 on my last timed practice test!! (15 point increase!) I think the best advice I can give to someone is DONT RUSH GETTING INTO TO LAW SCHOOL! Law school will still be there next year and if you take a year to prepare yourself, you’ll just end up bettering your chances of getting into the school you want. I have been studying for at least an hour (almost) everyday for the past 6 months but now that I have finally graduated and have more time, it’s been more like 2-3! I take a practice test every other day and the days that I don’t take practice test, I review my test from the day before and also do a few problem sets! I also NEVER do timed problem sets because this is the time that I use to really understand the reasoning in problems and work through them! I will keep everyone posted and you have any questions about the way I’m studying then please reach out!
Hi, I was thinking of hosting a lsat game night every THURSDAY, at 6pm PST, via kahoot, via zoom, until the August test. Thought this would be an interesting way to shake up studying. If interested comment down below so I can send you the link. I CHANGED THE DAY OF THE WEEK.

Hey all, I’m sure there’s a ton of questions like this on the forum but I haven’t quite found anything that really helps.
I’m currently getting about -8/-10 wrong on reading comprehension and scoring in the mid 160’s. Does anyone have any advice on how to lower that number to maybe -4/-5?
For context, I usually blind review my practice tests with a fresh copy, look for structure and make notes (all that jazz) but I’m not sure what else I can do to improve this number. I started doing untimed reading comprehension passages just for practice and I can tell I’m noticing trends but still getting about -2 per passage so still -8 in total but any advice would be appreciated!
Will we be able to see how much time we have remaining for each section, like we can in 7sage on the top right?
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone happens to know what the realistic possibilities of getting into Harvard or Yale with a 3.82 cGPA.
I attended a post secondary right out of high school for only a single semester, and posted a 3.54 gpa across 5 classes. Due to health issues that arose from malaria, I had to take a few years off.
I then applied to a more prominent university and essentially started my degree from block one. At this university I have a 3.93 over 4 years (3.9 on LSAC scale), so my L2 and L3 are 3.9, but cGPA is 3.82.
I am aiming for mid 170s on the LSAT, and have plenty of work experience (about 10 years worth) including multiple jobs, working all throughout my degree to support my large family, and running my own business for the last 6 years.
As strange as it is, there is film of me as a child saying my dream is to go to Harvard one day, and it truly would be a dream come true. My concern is that this unfortunate one semester that clearly drags on my GPA, will ruin my hopes. Does anyone here that tried applying, or has got in, have any advice or guidance for me? Anything is appreciated.
For LSAT: I had a 154 diagnostic 3 weeks ago, and only 30% through the CC I scored a 161 yesterday on PT80.
Question: Is it better to apply later (November/December) w/ a slightly higher score than applying in October w/ a slightly lower score? For example... is a 170 application in November/December better than a 166 application in October?
I was wondering does anyone know what internet speed is needed for test day? I really do not want to run into problems and was wondering if anyone knew.
Hi everyone! Just wanted to reach out to all my June test-takers and see how you're all feeling. I, too, am writing in June and can't believe it's almost time! I'm super nervous but hoping for great results so I can put this LSAT studying behind me (as great as 7Sage is lol). Anyways, tell me how you guys feel!! Wishing you all lots of motivation in the coming two weeks and may the June LSAT bring about great results for us all :) GOOOOOD LUCK!
I do not understand why answer choice A is an incorrect answer choice. According to the passage, more incidents of injuries occurred on the ski slopes in 1950 than occurred in 1980. The question stem then asks which answer choice most conflicts with the passage. Answer choice A basically states the opposite of what is claimed in the passage, yet it is not the correct answer choice... I know I must be misinterpreting something here. I am just not sure what.
I also do see how answer choice B (the correct answer choice) is also viable and correct.

For those who have experience with breaking above the low 160s plateau, what helped you?
I have been PTing and BRing for the last two months. My timed PT stats of my last 5 tests are RC: -8 average, LR: -7average, and LG:0-3. My BR is between 170-179.
Any advice is appreciated!
Can someone please explain how did we get C as correct AC. We don't have to have same totals in order to get same percentages. Why does this question requires us to make this assumption? Thank you!
Can someone draw out a Lawgic of this argument, so to see a link. (SA) Thank you!
Hey guys! As I've been prepping for the June flex I've been trying to take PT's solely on LawHub to replicate how test day will actually be. Does anyone else hate taking them on LawHub? For some reason it throws me off so much more than taking them on 7Sage. I know I'll get more used to it and be fine, but I don't know what it is that bothers me so much about it. I feel like I never can focus as well! Ugh, it'll be fine though- just wanted to see if there were any like-minded individuals in the 7Sage realm about this.
