See you there!

I am looking for ways to better BR RC. Typically when I BR RC I try to write a low-res summary for each paragraph, then construct a MP and tone/attitude of the author for each passage. Sometimes I go through the passage and highlight authors ideas versus ideas of others. RC is by far my worst section on the LSAT. I have ranged from -8 to a disastrous -14 on my last PT. When I BR, I usually go -2 or 3. My main issue when BRing RC is that I lose interest in the passage, and its super frustrating spending 45 minutes to an hour on one passage when BRing.

I am wondering if anyone has any tips for more efficiently BRing RC? As I mentioned, RC is my weakest section, and any tips on how to improve on BR or timed passages would be greatly appreciated.

Based on my understanding of the stimulus, the flaw is that the author is assuming that what was true in the past (CPUE is constant= X number of sharks) is still true in the present (because CPUE has remained constant, we must still have X number of sharks).

From an abstract point, in order to weaken this we must say that something that could potentially change the conclusion has occurred in the present.

With that in mind, I narrowed down my answers to D and E. They both talk about a change. However, I really struggled to see which of those two changes could potentially change the conclusion in the present.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback on my train of thought as was as explaining why E is a better choice over D.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I was stuck in the 140s for a very long time and am now scoring above the 150s. If anyone needs advice on how to breakout I would love to share the 7sage techniques that helped me!

I know the analytics uses prep tests. Is there a way we can add individual sections to it? Say I drill the logical reasoning from pt 5 can I add that to the analytics?

I had a question concerning the study schedule. Do y'all go through every single lesson/quiz.problem set before moving on, or if you feel like you've grasped the material fairly well, do you move on with further lessons and leave some of the problem sets for later? I feel like I'm not studying as efficiently by doing all the problem sets before moving on to later core curriculum, and I feel like it'll help to go through all the core curriculum first! Thoughts, opinions?

I am at a impasse. I am trying to decide whether I should test in June 2021 or August 2021.

I finished my first practice test. My test score was 134 on my first try. The Blind review score was 141. If I test in June, I am on a three and a half month plan. If I test in august, I am on a 5 and a half month plan.

Is it worth a shoot testing in June 2021 because 3 months is the average study time or due to my situation should I study longer due to my time constraints?

Hi all (administrators who can help as well),

I remember signing up for a webinar about admissions through 7sage. Where can I find the webinar link? I don't see anything in my email and I do not want to miss it.

Thanks for any help!

Hi everyone! My name is Marium, I have been studying for the LSAT using the LSAT trainer as well as Khan Academy since last September. I recently decided to take a gap year after I graduate Spring 2022, so I'm no longer stressed about taking the LSAT this summer like I originally planned. I'm hoping to take it this Fall, and then possibly again in April 2022 (which is the goal date I put into the course schedule).

My question is, am I able to skip over lessons in this course? I feel like I already know a lot seeing as I've been studying since September. Of course there is much to improve on which is why I signed up for 7sage because I'm determined to get a score in the 170s range and I want to take advantage of as many study sources as possible. I'm a very busy person and don't know if ill have the time to devote to subjects in this course that I feel I'm already good at, so I really would love some advice on how to craft my study schedule as someone who has already been studying for a while.

Thank you!

Does anyone do reading comprehension passages in a specific order? If so, how do you order them? I've had success ordering the games I do in LG. I didn't know if you could do the same thing in the RC section.

It would be nice.

Sorry, this is really long, but this question has me confused. When I read the stim, I gravitate toward answer A. Then I read B and I'm confused by what it's trying to tell me.

When we remove one gland, we see calcium levels drops. So they hypothesise that this gland is responsible for raising calcium levels. But when we remove the first gland along with a second, we see that the calcium levels decrease less steeply.

I want to say that if the gland that raises calcium is not present, then the other gland that is present could cause calcium to drop because we see this happening and there is nothing there to raise it back up. And if we remove both glands and calcium levels don't drop that much, then there isn't anything else that would cause it to drop even more, so this second gland is what causes it to drop.

Are we supposed to think that because we can remove a gland that raises calcium and nothing effectively replaces that function that we can also remove a gland that decreases calcium and nothing will replace that function either?

As for the answer choices, I'm not really sure what B is tying to say to me.

C appears contradictory to the premises. If the absence of the parathyroid causes the adrenal gland to make more calcium, we wouldn't see such sharp drops without it. D is a hypothetical so that doesn't really resolve anything. E seems irrelevant.

Need to break through my mid-160s plateau in order to get at least a 170 on the April LSAT! I've been scoring -3 on LG and LR on almost every test (sometimes less on LG) but for some reason getting a range from -1 to -8 on RC. Any advice? I really don't want to have to retake in July :( My BR's are around 169-171. I know they should be higher, but if I could just get them to match my overall test score I'd be fine and never think about the LSAT again!

Hey! I am trying out this test prep because I heard it's is really useful for building critical thinking and comprehension skills. I'm struggling with the CARS (critical reading) section on my MCAT and if anyone has advice on how to transfer these skills over to critical reading in general I would love some tips.

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official February 2021 LSAT-Flex Discussion Thread.

**Please keep all discussions of the February 2021 LSAT-Flex here!**(/red)

Rules:

❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅‍♂️

You CANNOT say things such as the following:

Basically, I am wondering whether I can still sign up for the April LSAT and have the ability not to take it.

Hiiiiiiii ~~

I just took feb yesterday and don't feel super great about it. I have been PTing around 168-172 but am not confident in how I did yesterday. Usually LG is my strongest and I bank on -0 in this section, but I was rocked by a tough game (and also wasn't even loving how I felt about the other 3??). LR is also usually a solid -4 for me but I really don't feel well about yesterday's LR. There were a few questions that I couldn't quite pre-phrase ( ugh AND i even changed a couple of answers last minute which I neverrrrr do 🤢🥴). and of course, RC, sweet RC, the only consistency in my LSAT journey has been that no matter what, RC will always be a surprise for me. Yesterday was no exception. I had just recently gotten really scientific about mastering RC in the same way I had been with the other sections, but going into the test I knew that section had the most room for growth. Post-exam, I am feeling like my mechanics are good but that I was a little nervous and could've had better instincts overall, but especially in LR.

Seeking tips from people who have retaken the exam before. How did you reuse materials? How much time did you give yourself before taking the exam again (1 month? 3 months?)? Any other things you wished you had known going through the retake process/studying after your first LSAT?

I have been studying since May 2020, used a really great tutor but ultimately stopped once I got into the high 160s because it was really expensive, but really helpful. Used & loved Ellen's loophole + 7sage for videos, analytics, and occasional fundamentals refreshers. Goal score is 170+..... Seeking all the recs, tips, and advice. Thank you :)

I for some reason can see somewhat of links between things when reading a parallel question that asks to find a similar reasoning in the answer choices. But I can't diagram it for some reason. I am hoping that the premium version of 7sage will cover this obstacle, but just wanted to know a head of time if this is an issue for anyone else or more importantly is covered well in the 7sage videos/lessons?

Thank you!

Hello all,

Does anyone have any tips or successful strategies to search for and apply to outside scholarships prior to 1L?

Most online tools are targeted towards undergraduates, and lists of law school scholarships don't usually allow one to filter out items that don't apply. This makes it difficult to search and prioritize which scholarships to focus on.

Any thoughts, tips, and/or resources would be appreciated - thank you!

I picked the correct answer but, just for the purpose of learning, I wanna discuss further the logical structure of (D).

Regarding the first sentence----"Depending on volume of business, either one or two or three store detectives are needed for adequate protection against shoplifting."----I have two questions:

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Leon

Do you think you can only be successful so long as you go to a t14 or do you think you can be successful career-wise in any school you attend ??

Hi everyone,

My digital study group is about to lose a few February-exam takers, so we're looking to add a few more members that are taking it in April.

We generally take timed sections (weekdays) or entire PTs (weekends) on our own, then get together via Zoom/FaceTime to Blind Review our answers before we find out how well we did.

Our next meeting is this Sunday, where we'll be Blind Reviewing PT 79 (all 4 sections).

We've been PT'ing in the high 160s, and want to edge over the 170 threshold by our respective exam date(s).

Shoot me a message with your name and email address on here if you'd like to join!

For those who initially struggled with LR (-5-7 a section), did you get better with more exposure to the test? If not, how do you overcome a weak LR section?

Hi everyone- studying for the April 2021 LSAT. Started at PT 50 to do a game section a day and LR here and there. RC needs work.

In factoring my allowance of how many tests to leave before April's LSAT, how many do you typically take, in terms of sitting through full PT in the lets say 3-4 weeks leading up to your test? How do you space them apart?

Looking for general opinions so I can create a schedule, appreciate it, thanks
