Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but I don't know how to go about finding a good tutor online. The thing is, I'm currently in Asia right now so I have to take the time difference into account. Anyway, if you have any recommendations, please let me know! Thank you.

Hi Everyone,

I have a decent background in Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning due to using other study preparation tools prior to signing up for 7Sage. I am seeking to use 7Sage to primarily learn about Logic Games.

I understand that sections of the syllabus may relate, and that there may be great value to doing the curriculum in order. However, I am wondering if there are any particular sections of the syllabus that are especially helpful for improving an understanding of Logic Games. I understand that the Logic Games sections of the syllabus are titled accordingly, but it seems as though the Logic courses are also very important for Logic Games.

To my understanding, it seems as though the following courses hold direct value to Logic Games:

"Introduction to Logic", "Advanced Logic","Introduction to Logic Games & Sequencing Games", "Sequencing Games with a Twist", "Introduction to Grouping Games: The In-Out Games", "Grouping Games", "Grouping Games with a Chart", "Grouping and Sequencing Games".

Once again, I understand that all of the content within the syllabus may benefit my understanding of Logic Games, but I am seeking to prioritize my limited time. I would like to focus on sections of the syllabus that will most impact my understanding of Logic Games.

Are there any additional sections of the syllabus, not included in those that I have listed above, that I should take into account for improving in Logic Games?

Thank you very much for all of your help!

I have 3 LSAT scores on record and a 5 point jump between my first score to my second and my second score to my third (total 10 point jump). I've seen a lot of conflicting information online from not writing an addendum and letting my scores speak for themselves to people saying that multiple LSAT scores/score increases need to be explained in an addendum. Do you think my multiple scores and the 5 point score increases between each requires an addendum? I really don't know what to do here so I would love any feedback that anyone has. Thanks!

So I applied to 13 schools over the holidays, from late December to mid January. I heard from most of them months ago, and the rest of them save Minnesota as of the first week of April. I still haven't heard anything from UMN, even when I submitted a LOCI/Why essay two weeks ago. Is anyone else being ghosted by them or another program they applied to 4+months ago? 4 months wouldn't have been so crazy if it was still winter, but I would have thought, this late in the cycle, that they'd know one way or another.

Every time I do a timed LG session for some reason I panic and always end up solving 2 questions, but when I do the BR, it takes me less time to do the questions and it becomes very easy, I make better inferences and understand the material better. I don't know what's causing this, HELP!

Hi everybody!

Taking the June LSAT. I have a rudimentary understanding of how FLEX works but am unsure of really happens on test day.

What is the proctor/ situation like? Does your screen lag when taking the exam? Any prep tricks/ tips you guys have before my big day? Any ways to calm your nerves? What time did you start/ finish?

Really would love any/all advice. Thanks to everyone in advance!

Fiction--m-- LA

Fiction --s--Requested from writers

Nonfiction given SA/Published----> RF or Requested

I don't understand how to determine why A is incorrect...if a manuscript is unrequested, does that mean it is either a fiction book that was from a literary agent or a nonfiction book from a renown figure?

Hi, y'all! I am looking to tutor 1-2 people at no cost for a couple of sessions. I would love to focus on LR/RC (though LG is fine too). My asks are that you've finished the CC and are taking sections/PTs (and that you have patience with me since I'm new to tutoring!)

For background, 174/180BR across my last 5 PTs. I am also located in Mountain Time. Feel free to send me a DM!

I started out last May taking an untimed Pt and scoring a 136. I gained hope when I heard of the Loophole book, ordered it, and studied “seriously” from Sept till the Nov Lsat. I scored a 150, which is a miracle in and of itself. I also studied LG for a week and a half using Powerscore. I had been Pt at 155 so I signed up for April, and found 7Sage. Lord almighty I wish I had found it last May! It’s been a godsend just for the explanation videos alone. I started getting 157s so felt good about retaking in April but I got a wicked sinus infection (thanks allergies!) & could barely focus the day of the test. I got a 153, which is a 12% improvement in rank so I’m okay with the score. However, I know I can do better. I didn’t study at all during the 3week wait for the score then tried Pt 78 and 81 this week. I just got a 159 for the first time ever! I’m going to crush my 3rd and finally Lsat, and just wanted to provide some encouragement for me. If you’re on the fence about 7Sage JUST DO IT and believe in yourself.

Also, it’s worth it to postpone till fall 2022 if that means a full merit scholarship right?! My study pace is slow because my hubs is active duty & we have a 3 and 6 year old so studying more than 2-3 hrs a few times a week just isn’t possible. I’m pretty sure the school I want to attend is going to accept me as is but I really don’t want to pay for law school after paying for two masters 😆

I need help finding the main conclusion in this stimulus. I thought the first and last sentences were basically saying the exact same thing: that we ought to pay attention to the intrinsic properties of art. I read some explanations that involved diagramming and it just confused me further. I even tried putting the sentences back to back to see which supported which but just couldn't see it. Could someone help point out why the last sentence is the main conclusion and not the first?

Question begins:

"The complex ecosystem of the North American prairie has largely been destroyed..."

I found the correct conclusion, but I got tripped up on the paraphrase. I don't see how "returning as much land as possible to an uncultivated state..." is the same or similar to the correct answer E, which states, " the devastation of the North American prairie COULD BE LARGELY REVERSED...." I don't see any reference to LARGELY. I chose A because I took it to mean if earlier North American agricultural techniques were reintroduced that would be the same / similar to as having no pesticides, machinery etc.

Can anyone show me where I went wrong?

This is a weakening question and I was so lost. I ended up picking an answer choice that I was 90% certain was wrong just to be sure my eyes would go straight to this problem in my review

My understanding of premise/conclusion:

Conclusion- Manufacturers who wish to call their reduced-butterfat butter by the more appealing name"lite butter" should be allowed to do so

Premises- 1) The public should be encouraged to eat foods with lower butterfat content

2) The word "imitation" deters some people from purchasing a product because it connotes falsity

Am I reading too much into the "should be allowed to do so" part?

Wait...I may have just figured it out. But I'm not sure. Is E the correct answer because the label "imitation" is encouraging people to buy reduced-butterfat products? And changing the label to "lite butter" might deceive them into buying something higher in butterfat content than what they are currently buying?

I have been studying for the LSAT and drilling LG for over a year and I feel confident in my ability to get -0 or -1 on LG. However, the only potential downfall is Misc games. When I encounter a section with a Misc game, I risk going -4 (though sometimes I can stay at -1 if I do the other games quickly enough).

I've read some threads on 7Sage about this, but do you think it's a good idea to just drill Misc games as much as I can now? I'll likely take the June LSAT, so I can take time over the next month to drill these. I also know that I could just keep practicing "normal" games so that I have more time if there's a Misc game, but I've never drilled Misc games and now I'm wondering if that's the obvious, optimal next step.

I have hit a plateau where I can regularly go -4 through -5 on LR and RC, but almost always go -10 through -12 on LG. The culprit seems to be grouping games. I just have trouble visualizing inferences when there are so many different scenarios. Any advice?

Hi 7Sage Admin. I just wanted to make a couple of suggestions for the user interface, which I think would make the website a lot easier to use.

  • When using the text filter on the problem set, the webpage often freezes up after every single keystroke because it starts filtering with every single character. This can get quite frustrating. I think it would be a lot nicer if you had the option to begin filtering only after you press enter, or something like that.
  • Add an option on the create a problem set page to filter the problem set by exam, section and question. I think that perhaps a dropdown filter for each category would be useful.
  • It would be really nice if you could create a problem set straight from the "Review Results" view page. Right now we are able to pin questions from the results view. I think it would be super useful if we are able to select questions from this view and then make a problem set from our selected questions.
  • Thanks!

    Hello! I have some questions about how the actual application process works (for next fall) and a few specific application related questions, but am not sure where to get the answers. If anybody who has applied before is willing to help me sort out some pre-application questions, either via this thread or over direct message me I would really appreciate it! Thank you in advance!
