Im currently in the high 160s looking to break into the 170s. Doing it in a group as whole seems to be the right way forward so shoot me a message if you are interested.

Hello Everyone! I am studying for the lsat and want to find a dedicated group of people who are willing to meeting once or twice a week on Zoom, keep each other motivated, and help each other. Anyone interested?

Hey all, I graduated college 6 years ago, and looking to change my career by going to law school. To be frank, I am actually going to the career that I had always wanted to (i.e. to be a lawyer). But since finishing college (Brown), life has taken a different turn.

It would be great to meet other people like me. I disliked all sorts of standardized test when I was young, so it's still a challenge for me to study for the LSAT. haha! But I am excited.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Hey guys, Im having a lot of trouble with Logical Reasoning so I got the loophole and powerscore book to read. Im following the 7Sage syllabus and Im in the middle of the Validity and Must Be True sections. However, I want to read these books first and then finish the 7sage LR. Do you guys think it would be ok if I skip down to Logic Games while I read these books? Im not really sure if Im going to be missing information from LR that I need in LG. Thanks everyone!

Like the title suggests, one of my big weaknesses is the tendency to galaxy brain ACs - it leads me to change my answer (usually the right choice) to a wrong one. I always manage to convince myself that the answer I chose instinctively is incorrect, and I do get a couple of questions right after I go back for a second attempt.

How do I avoid this going forward?

I just noticed that logically follows are listed under MBT questions. I've been approaching these questions as if I'm supposed to decipher what the speaker would be most likely to say, as opposed to what must be true...

My question is: are logically follows really just MBT questions?

Hey folks,

I'm holding office hours again because it was fun last time (https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/28551/impromptu-office-hours-whos-on-their-grind-today-done) and I just got another late cancellation. While I could just take a half day and be happy, I'm not going to because I'm the kind of person who tutors the LSAT for a living (weird doesn't even begin to describe it). And this time, the schedule shift even came early enough that I can actually give ~15 hours of notice! Yay. Maybe next time, it'll be a full day in advance.

Anyway, I will hold open court from 4pm-6pm at least (the time and length of the original lesson I had planned). After that, we'll see how long I feel like sticking around/when I get hungry enough to wander off in search of dinner. As with last time, I might be fiddling with some random stuff or get distracted occasionally, but I'm happy to talk shop while doing it.

[Done!]

And, since last time I realized that nobody probably knows who I am or why anyone would care, I'll paste my tutor directory description here for reference:

"After graduating from Columbia Law in 2010, I've taught the LSAT both alongside and in parallel with JY as my full time employment and passion. JY and I gave LSAT seminars together up and down the east coast with PreProBono for a while, and I was around when 7Sage was just a figment of JY's imagination. I'm still the only person beside JY himself who's ever had an official instructional video up on the site. In addition to my private tutoring work, I'm PreProBono's senior instructor, a featured instructor for 7Sage, and run the LSAT department for a small test prep boutique in New York City as their lead tutor.

I've worked with students from all across the United States and also internationally, from a diverse set of countries including China, Korea, Qatar, France, Brazil, Canada, Turkey, and the Netherlands. My tutoring achievements include a 136-to-172 score jump, sending students to Harvard in 7 of my 9 years of tutoring (including one year where I sent three students to Harvard and four to NYU in the same cycle), and having students of mine attend every T14 except Stanford (because they're picky) and UVA (a lot of acceptances, but sadly no matriculations), many with substantial scholarships.

While I'm not egotistical enough to say I've seen it all, I know the LSAT inside and out and I'm confident I can help you out no matter what your situation is."

Of course, there's a perfectly reasonable argument to be made that you still shouldn't listen to me. I do swear quite a bit, after all (so if you have sensitive sensibilities, this might not be your jam). But I suppose the only way you'll find out for sure is to listen for yourself.

Hope to see some of you there!

Looking for a study buddy to meet up once a week to review wrong answers.

Hey guys, I'm waitlisted in my top school and I wanted to know how many others may be in the same situation. What's your coping strategy? Are you studying to improve your score for the following year (if you don't get in)? Are you getting your financials in place (just in case you do)? Are you call bombing admissions to see what movement (if any) is happening and/or your index score? Or, are you normal and doing yoga.

Hello all, I have been studying for the LSAT since last summer, and am currently PTing in the low 160s and looking to bump that to at least the mid-160s for June. I would love to work together one-on-one at least once per week to go over PTs or sections to crystalize my understanding and hopefully help you do the same. I have a pretty good process, but in my experience, going over BR with a partner is incredibly helpful. If interested, please PM me. Thanks in advance and happy studying!

What type of flaw is this?

Dean: The mathematics department at our university has said that it should be given the sole responsibility for teaching the course Social Sciences.

Correct Answer choice B:

"purports to refute a view by showing that one possible reason for that view is insufficient"

Wording is a bit hard for me to understand. What type of flaw is this?

edit:

I got rid of C, D, E and chose A between A & B:

"presumes, without providing justification, that expertise in a subject does not enable one to teach that subject well"

I think the key deduction I should have made was that for A, the stimulus/argument does not talk about a subject being taught "well". So this should have clicked for me as a flaw that is out of scope.

Hi all - I’ve been pting in the low/mid 170s and blind reviewing close to 180. Hoping to close this gap (~-3 rc/Lr) by offering free tutoring in LR and RC. Happy to also help with LG questions but frankly nothing beats fool proofing games. Feel free to PM me to set something up.

Hi, I was wondering if I should redo as many games as I previously did leading up to test day? I feel like I should have made a list of key games that taught me inferences/lessons that transferred to other games, but I didn't :(

Or should I speed through the 7sage core curriculum one more time before the test?

Thx in advance :)

I'm taking the June 2021 LSAT and I know that I don't need to complete the writing section immediately after completing the test but I am wondering if there is a certain time that it needs to be completed by. I saw that it says my score will not be released until I complete the writing section. Score release date for the June test is July 1st, so can I complete the writing section any time before then and still receive my score on July 1st? Or will it push my score release date back the later that I complete the writing?

Hey all, so I'm taking the June LSAT (cannot be pushed back, already pushed from April) and I'm still looking to improve in my score. I'm scoring consistently around 166-168, but I really want to break into a confident 170 in time for the June test. My weaknesses are LR (-3 to -5) and RC (-1 to -5), but I'm set for LG (-0 or -1).

My typical method of studying is taking either LR or RC problem sets every day, while taking a PT approximately once a week. This helped me improve from -7 to -5 in LR, and similarly for RC, but I have not seen much improvement recently. I want to dedicate a couple of hours every weekday and all Saturday or Sunday to studying, and I really want to maximize the last three weeks.

Does anyone (in a similar position/score/goal) have any recommendations on how to study best? Or, generally, what studying techniques (with the exceptions of reading a book and tutors) have you utilized to best improve your score/understanding?

Thanks!

I wan to know why the answer is B instead of other answers. All of the answers sounds the same

I just got 169 and 170 back to back after plateauing for a while after my previous 169. Do not give up folks, you got this. When I started in January so many comments on Reddit and other sites claimed it is unlikely to get a 20+ point increase and that scared me, glad I didn't listen. Even if I bomb my first LSAT coming up this June, ill just take it again and again until I get what I know I can get. Feel free to ask me anything.

Hi all, general question for those preparing to take the June 2021 flex.

I've been PTing using the regular 4-section format, mainly to expose myself to more LR questions. As test week approaches, I've considered PTing in the flex option to better simulate conditions (timing/burnout) on test day.

Has anyone done this, or does anyone have general thoughts on this strategy? I'm interested to see what the community thinks about this as I try to tailor my approach in these last few weeks.

Can someone help me to identify opponent's argument, since I don't see clearly where is a conclusion and where are premises. All I see is a set of premises with unstated(assumed) conclusion. Thank you!! #help

I am taking the August LSAT and would love someone/some people to study with! Especially in the month of July!

Regarding PT 53 Dec 2007,

is there a typo/word(s) missing in question 2 Elaine & Frederick in the question stem? What comes after "whether?"

Thanks!

Hello, everyone! I began my training with 7sage this past Monday. I am currently registered for the October 2021 LSAT, which will be my first ever test. I did study a bit during quarantine last year, but the prep course I was taking did not help me to improve a significant amount. I am already seeing improvements with 7sage. My current plan is to study from around 9:30am to 5pm on Monday through Friday. Does anyone else have a similar schedule worked out? I plan to set aside Saturday and Sunday for other activities and to rest. I am wondering if two consecutive days of break with halt my progress.

Hi all,

Would anyone be interested in an accountability buddy to work through the core curriculum (and beyond)? I was hoping to put together a group which we can check in on and see where everyone is at & post questions for general help within the curriculum.

We wouldn't even need to be at the same place within the C.C., but for context I am just about to begin the section on Logic. Putting in about ~30hrs a week, Mon-Sat, hoping to start more full-time PT'ing by July.

The plan will be to offer a daily check-in Mon-Fri to see where everyone is & to share my experiences as things go along. Perhaps an opportunity for a weekly recap on Saturdays w/ possible Happy Hour to talk shop about LSAT & Law.

I'll reply to this thread once we have enough ppl to close it!

Happy Studying!

D.F.W.

Overall, I am not loving anything about the LSAT right now, but LG is leaving me hopeless. I'm taking the June test and have recently resumed studying after a semester filled with the effects from a family emergency, being an athlete, and taking 18 credits. RC is actually my best section right now, where I'm hovering around an average of -5. I decided to tackle LG as my next section to work on since many say it's the easiest and quickest to fix and I just do not have the time to fix LR. However, I quickly realized it was not going to come easy to me at all. I've read the discussion board, looked at forums, and even listened to the 7sage podcast for help, and while I've tried to do what many of these places suggest (practice endlessly until you recognize game types and get more comfortable) I'm not making any progress and am left in a discouraged heap at my desk. Does anyone have any advice or methods that worked for them? I'm truly at a loss and honestly feel stupid that I cannot fix what others resolve so easily. Thank you so much.

Hello all!

I am looking for recommendations for private LSAT tutors with solid track records leading up to the August 2021 test. Specialties in LG and LR appreciated!
