It was in the last three weeks that I finally started hitting the 175+ mark consistently. I’m happy to talk to anyone about their unique situation and offer tips for making the most of these last three weeks. Leave a comment or send a dm and we can chat.

Hello! I hope all is well! Does anyone know what order of question types JY recommends to study for LR?

I'm sure it goes: 1. MP/MC, 2. MSS, 3. AP, 4. WEAKEN, 5. STRENGTHEN etc... (If i messed up that order please correct me lol)

But what goes after those (according to 7sages advice)? Thanks!

Happy studying!

I was looking through discussion threads of when individuals plan to take their LSAT. I only decided about two weeks ago after a gap year I would like to apply for Fall 2023, and since have been doing my best to study often and effectively. I was under the impression it would be okay to take in September, but it seems most plan to take it in June or August. Am I considerably behind if I plan on September? I realize that applications open around October so that would be a quick turn around, would that be a bad thing if I feel I really need the entire summer to study?

So I have been studying for the June 2022 LSAT for roughly 6 months during school and have not been able to dedicate as much time as I would like. I am aiming to get above a 170+. I spend most of my time drilling sections, not taking as many PTS. I have gotten a 173 as my highest score on a PT (only once) and have broken into the 170+ range two others times both 172. Right now I typically get the anywhere between a 165-170 on my PTS. Should I wait to take the LSAT in August to try improving my score and using the summer to study? Or should I go for the June test and use my one time look ahead for a score cancellation for first time test takers? I am conflicted because I feel like I am right on he cusp of getting where I want to be and I have three more weeks until the June 11 test. Just wondering what anyone else's thoughts were on this! Thanks!

Hi,

I have been practicing logic games for a month now and I am still not getting any faster. I don't know what to do, I still cannot finish them in the allotted time. What has helped all of you get faster at these?

So i'm not the BEST at this test! In fact, i'm taking the June test in 3 weeks. But! i consistently PT in the mid 160s, and I figured that something like this would help me understand my thought process if I have someone to explain it to (maybe enough to reach my goal of 170!). Hit me up even if you just started studying as it always helpful to go over the basics. I get -0 in LG, -3 to -5 in LR and -4 to -7 in RC. In blind review I always hit 170.

Please DM me for those interested! I still have availability open.

Thank you, 7sage!

Pretty much the title. I'd like to take the LSAT this Fall, and trying to decide what 7Sage package to buy and when I need to start studying by. Anyone have any insight on this?

Just making sure, only three sections out of the four are scored... right? Tried googling it but only showed results for 2021

Hey y'all,

When I first started studying for the LSAT, my diagnostic score was a 157, and my early prep test results were all in the mid-150 range. It's a perfectly good score, but in order to have a stronger application and a better chance at scholarships, I knew that I wanted to improve on it. I completed the 7Sage curriculum over about 6 months by working at it for a few hours every day after work. After completing the curriculum, my practice test scores were almost always above 170, and my actual April 2022 test score came back as a 169. I'm really happy with it. My diagnostic test score placed me in the 66th Percentile. With 7Sage, my actual test score was in the 95th percentile of all test takers. A 29 percent increase! Wild. I'm really proud of myself, and really grateful to 7Sage for making this curriculum [relatively] accessible. I feel confident that the money I invested in this online resource will pay off with larger scholarship opportunities moving forward, which is a good trade.

I'm sharing this as encouragement, because reading these kinds of posts from other users really boosted my morale when I first started with 7Sage. The curriculum is ridiculously long and appears really daunting when you start out! But at least in my case, it helped so much. Good luck to everyone who is still on (or just starting) this course! Stick with it!

Sincerely,

ddeeswee

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 :)

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-30-section-1-game-4/

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?
