I just noticed that LSAC has offically announced all LSAT tests after Augest will be come back to offline, and there will be only three formal sections: 1 RC, 1 LG, 1 LR and 1 test sections.

However, the current 7sage is undoublely emphasizing LR sections since in past there are 2 LR sections. There are about 120 hours of course, in contrast with 40 hours for LG and RC.

Just wondering should we put more effort on RC and LG right now with the change of LSAT mentioned above?

Hey guys! Has anyone found a good way to print out blank passages/questions/answers to the LG sections? If not, I'm curious to know how everyone drills the LG questions over and over again -- do you write out each of the passages/q's, or screenshot them to then print out, etc? Anything you guys have found helpful in doing this is much appreciated! (Note: I realize that the LSAC doesn't allow for pdf's to be around anymore, which makes this hard.)

Looking to tutor 1-2 people free of cost. The requirements are that you've gone through the CC (thoroughly) and are currently in the PT/Section phase of your studies. Low-income/students with fee waivers will get preference. We'll have a brief call where you can tell me about yourself and your goals to see if we're a good fit.

I've been tutoring casually for a while now, however, I myself am still a student of the LSAT and will be the first person to admit if I don't feel as though I can help or don't understand something. Last 3 PT avg is 174.5/180 BR.

Hello friends. I'm curious about what metric our practice tests are gauged against. The "average" score that is shown next to my practice test results - is that the average of 7sagers while they're working on the curriculum? Is it an average of everyone who has taken the LSAT? Is it the average of students who are studying for the LSAT?

Thank you in advance.

I know you can cancel your LSAT score after 6 days of taking the exam, I think? Then it'll show as canceled on your record. However, if you do a registration refund way before taking the exam, will your record show canceled or withdrawn/refunded? Also, how bad is it to see a withdrawn/refunded on your record?

Hey! I purchased the LSAT 1-year membership last summer. I have done almost all of the lessons and maybe 2 practice tests through the entirety of this year. Life has been rough AF. I am from SWLA Louisiana and we were hit very hard with 2 hurricanes (leaving campus destroyed) and COVID19. Nonetheless, I still plan to take the last LSAT-Flex in June. After much time away from 7sage, I made a 148 cold; BR is a 156. I plan to review over everything today. It looks like I missed the most in reading comprehension. This is in addition due to running out of time, so I could not finish the sections. Of course, this score is not horrible considering I went in not doing it for a long time, however, it is certainly not where I want to be. It seems like I just need to get into the groove of taking PTs. Hopefully I should see a boost if PTs are done consistently??

My study plan is to do 2 PTs a week with a BR section every day in between. Any advice? Your projection of my score if I kept this plan? Do I need to amp it up to 4 or 3PTs a week? I would be okay with an 155, however, I want a 160 to be comfortable. (not sure if thats even possible rn) Just let me know what you all think!

The stimulus opens with a question, (Is it correct for the gov't to abandon efforts to determine toxicity levels in food supply?) and the next sentence is the answer. How is the answer to that question the MC when the following sentence begins with "however"? In this context, does "however" NOT indicate a change from context to argument? "Furthermore" in the next sentence indicates an additional premise. But, I also see a complex sentence -indicated by the semicolon. Is what follows after the semicolon the main conclusion? What am I missing or reading too deeply into?

    In PT 13, Section 4, Question 7, when Murray says "You are wrong to make this claim", does he mean that the claim being made is wrong? It is one thing to claim that a statement is wrong( false) and another to claim that the person making it is in the wrong. For example, one can say something that is factually accurate but at an inappropriate time. This makes the the person in the wrong but has no actual relevance on the truthfulness of the statement. I think this distinction is very relevant to answering the question, though not absolutely necessary.

    I am considering talking about my struggle with--and recovery from--addiction in my personal statement. I am 11 years into recovery with an academic record that reflects this: I had 2 semesters of sub2.5 gpa when I was 18 followed by a 3 year gap. But then at 21 I began treatment and at 22 I returned to school and got straight As and -A's through undergrad and graduate school, along with some moderate professional success.

    Addiction is a big part of my personal story, but there is nothing in my record (disciplinary action, arrests, DUI's) that would require me to disclose this fact about myself. So, I'm a little torn. Do I needlessly risk being potentially judged negatively for my past struggle with addiction or does my 11 years of continuous recovery speak to the fact that my past with addiction is not a liability (and perhaps an asset) ?

    Hi 7sagers,

    I'm looking for a study buddy to meet with b/w once and up to 3x/week to drill RC detail retention. We'd time each other when reading a passage, but not impose a time limit--it would be based on your own normal, individual pacing. After reading, one person asks the other about key information from the passage, including the main point, lo-res, and hi-res summaries, a quick structural and tonal analysis, OPAs if they're there, etc. The person who read the passage would then be asked about randomly selected details from the passage, including where the details were located and purpose of the detail. Then the role alternates. This should be helpful for people who have already done most passages and are looking to increase RC retention. This should take about 1-1.5 hours per session.

    Some background info: I'm EST from now until close to the end of August and have registered for the June LSAT, likely will do the same for August just to relieve some anxiety. Targeting 175+. I'm available in the early mornings on most days or evenings from 7 p.m. most days.

    If you're interested in serious studying and have similar goals and trying out this RC drill, please feel free to pm me. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have also tried this exact method out with a 170-scoring study buddy before, and it was extremely helpful for both of us. My study buddy has since "graduated" and taken her next LSAT.

    Ps: In my experience, this has worked well in a 1:1 setting. What we can do, however, is form a Discord group and pair off from there if several people are interested.

    Best of luck to everyone!

    This questions is brief but seems complicated in my mind. I am intending to write a diversity statement for schools that require/offer the opportunity. In it, I plan to write about various diversifying characteristics of my life, including that my father suffers from schizophrenia -- and remains unmedicated. If the admissions faculty member that reviews this statement knows anything about schizophrenia, then they understand that its onset is typically in your early 20s (my age). I am worried that revealing this information might worry the law school personnel that this might happen while I am in law school. Do the risks outweigh the benefits here?

    Free tutors?

    I've been listening to the podcasts and have learned that some people will tutor for free to gain a better understanding of the test. I'm just wondering if anyone is tutoring for free currently? :)

    I'm scoring in the 160s and would like to be 170+ by August! Any help is really appreciated :)

    I know this is invalid reasoning, but it was one of the most popular incorrect answer choices so I'd like to see it diagrammed

    Sarah's dog is not a dachshund, for he hunts very well, and most dachshunds hunt poorly.

    SD---> HVW

    D--m-- /HVW

    C: SD---> /D

    Hi Everyone, I am getting every other question type correct on LR except the ones above. This ranges from 5-8 Questions I miss per LR section and I am missing 2-3 on RC that are also MBT or some variation. I am only missing these questions and they are holding me back from a higher score. I am begging for any tips or YouTube videos on these question types. Thank you!

    Anyone interested in a study buddy for June's exam? I really just need someone talk to who's also wanting to do well on this LSAT for support, commiserate, motivation, etc. We could do groupme or really anything.

    Hello, so I was working through the conditional logic translation quizzes and came across this sentence: "Businesses do the environmentally "right" thing only if doing so makes good business sense."

    I recognized that "only if" is in group 2, and makes what is after it a Necessary condition. What tripped me up is that I thought "doing so" was a referential phrase to "environmentally "right" thing." Thus, I thought that "only if" was directly working on "doing the environmentally right thing." So my lawgic translation was Good business sense --> Environmentally right thing.

    However, this is wrong. It should be Environmentally Right Thing --> Good Business Sense

    Why should the referential phrase of "doing so" stay as a necessary condition and not be expanded to "environmentally right thing" making "makes good business sense" the sufficient condition?

    Hi all, would anybody know what the experience of taking the LSAT at home might be like for someone with time-based accommodations? For example, will the proctors already have my proof of eligibility, or will I need to show them my letter? Do I get placed in a separate room? Has anyone run into problems with this? Thank you!

    Proposals for extending the United States school year to bring it more in line with its European and Japanese counterparts are often met with the objection that curtailing the schools' three month summer vacation would violate an established United States tradition dating from the nineteenth century. However, this objection misses its mark. True, in the nineteenth century the majority of schools closed for three months every summer, but only because they were in rural areas where successful harvests depended on children's labor. If any policy could be justified by those appeals to tradition, it would be the policy of determining the length of the school year according to the needs of the economy.

    That bold and italicized sentence is what I think is the main conclusion. And the rest that follows it are the premises, but I don't understand why the author of this stimulus think the objections are "missing their mark." If someone could respond, that would be great.
