Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone has run into this issue. I've naturally been doing well with LR and RC. The 7sage courses helped me get to about an average of -1 on each of those sections. The problem is that I can't seem to get to a consistent -1 to -3 on LGs. Its especially frustrating given how everyone always talks about how it is the easiest section to learn.
I have used the foolproof method fairly extensively. Having done and redone every logic game from Tests 1 - 78. I can redo the sections and get -1/-0 when I do. I also made a tracker of harder and hardest games from Tests 1-78 and did and redid these until I could do them quicker than the recommended time. I've also redone the LG syllabus and whizzed through all the sections.
The problem is... I still am struggling to rap my head around new harder/hardest questions that pop on tests I haven't seen before, especially if its a miscellaneous game. Sometimes its due to panic but other times I am just genuinely stumped. This seems to happen on every new PT I take.
I am averaging low 170s with about -4 or -5 (sometimes worse) in the logic games. I recognize that I am fortunate o have a high base-line score but I have poured in 200+ hours into logic games and it remains my biggest obstacle to being a consistent mid 170 scorer.
Anyone have any advice or deal with the same issue? I've always been awful at puzzles!
Hi!
I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to take the June LSAT since there's no experimental, or suck it up and take the Aug or Oct tests when I will be more prepared and ready.
I initially intended to take the Aug LSAT and had structured my course study to do so, but with the announcement of the experimental returning after June, I want to be most efficient in my testing and will grind especially hard if and only if it's worth it to not take the experimental.
Thoughts from people who have taken the experimental and the og test? Preference to one or the other? Reasons?
I just scored 172 on PT69. Yay! It's my first time to break into the 170s! But....I spent 12.5 minutes on 7 questions that I got wrong. (5 of them were RC) How do you spot questions worth skipping? If I could have spent 10 extra minutes on just two of those questions, I might have been able to get them.
Thanks!
Hi y'all! Looking for other people interested in going up from low 170s to high 170s. Looking to take PTs and then BR together and try to help each other improve in flaws.
Hello all! I’m struggling with choosing between two amazing law schools (that I’ve somehow been admitted into for this Fall) and would really appreciate any perspectives/advice you have on the situation.
I’ve been accepted into UVA Law at sticker price (I tried to ask for more scholarship money once already without success), and WashULaw with a substantial scholarship. I’d be paying for my whole education through loans so the scholarship at WashU is very attractive and overall it would be about $100,000 less to go to WashU than UVA. However, I’m interested in criminal law and national security law and UVA has the programs, faculty and courses that I’m interested in the most.
I’ve thought about ways to mitigate the huge debt I would have at UVA such as getting into BigLaw for a while after graduating or the fact that UVA has the Virginia Loan Forgiveness Program which would help with my loan repayments if I’m in public service. But I’m not sure about staking my $250,000 worth of debt repayment on getting into BigLaw (even though UVA is really good in the BigLaw job market). I’m also worried about the ability to stay in the top percentile of the class at a T14 law school which would affect my ability to get a BigLaw position.
I’m just wondering what others think of the choice and if it is reasonable to choose UVA Law over WashU despite the difference in debt. Thank you in advance!
How do you use the Loophole book along with the 7Sage CC?
Is anyone else studying while working full-time? I've been studying and working full-time for the last year and it's been really tough. I work a really stressful job (social work) so motivating myself to study after work has been very difficult for me. For those who work full-time, what are your study schedules? And how do you motivate yourself to stay on schedule? Any and all advice is appreciated!

I got this Necessary Assumption question right, and while it wasn't completely a shot in the dark, I'm struggling to articulate what the argument is saying, and why C is the correct answer. So here I will try to type it out. Any feedback is appreciated.
Argument: The banks should not bear the cost of the insurance. It should be the depositors aka the people who benefit from the insurance.
The necessary assumption: Banks aren't already doing something that offsets the insurance costs they're responsible for
Hello everyone. My original plan for the summer was to study throughout the summer and take the LSAT in August. I have not really been studying, so I would not be ready for the June exam. I just got offered an internship in DC that is from mid-June through early August. It is a great opportunity, but I am worried I could not efficiently study for the LSAT while I am there. I am not aiming to score super high, but I am concerned that I have not really been studying at all. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi Y'all !
So as you can see I have a pretty big gap between my raw scores (Pt 40 - 147) and (Pt 41 - 150) and my latest BR score of 171. What are some helpful tips to close this Gap? My biggest problem is of course timing, whenever I am timed the anxiety and nervousness kicks in and comprehension drops. The LSAT is not friendly to those who have been slow readers their whole life. If you're on my boat, I know you feel my pain.
Thanks 7Sage!
Ideally we'd do a section or passage / game separately and then get together to review it on Zoom/teams. I'm scoring between 165 and 177 and registered for June. I'm available daily in the mornings EST but just looking to study together once per week.
Is anyone else having buffering issues on the videos? I have for the past 3 days. I've restarted my computer, joined different Wi-Fi networks, and cleared the past 7 days of my cache but nothing as worked so far. Does anyone have a solution?
I'm planning on taking the August 2021 Lsat and I'm trying to practice taking prep tests with the new format. It will be 4 section with 1 unscored. On 7 sage theres only the Flex LSAT (3 sections) or regular (4 sections all scored), does anyone have any tips on how I should practice.
I am struggling with logical reasoning, specifically with weaken/strengthen questions. From someone who consistently does well in LR do you have any study tips?

I can talk to anyone, so I might as well post it here. I have been stuck at 157 for the last four PTs that I've taken, and I do not know what to do. I want a minimum of 160 as my score to get into my dream school (Loyola in New Orleans). If you have any tips on how to improve RC, PLEASE SHARE THEM WITH ME. My RC is between -11 to -14, and I can't improve it; my LC is -4 to -6 and LG -4 to -7.
Hi folks. The LSAC emails say results will be issued on the 29th. Does anyone know if they stick to those dates or they tend to be flexible with when they get released?
Hello,
I'm looking for someone to study with. I scored 174 on the February test, and am prepping to crack 175. I'd like to work with someone who is at an earlier stage of prep, and wants to do sessions where they come to me with questions. I'm down to work with anybody though. Shoot me a message if you're interested.
I plan on taking the LSAT for my second time in August, and am about 1/4 through the core curriculum, and am wondering when I should start drilling on practice tests.
Should I take practice tests, then go through core curriculum on problem types that I did bad on, or should I finish the core curriculum, then re-watch any question types that I got wrong and try to fix my mindset? And then repeat that process to make sure I'm really learning the material?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
Or can I pay the full deposit at the second deposit deadline? Also, if I pay only the first deposit - will that be guaranteed to hold my spot until at least the second deposit deadline? Thanks.
Hello, I also posted on the reading lesson part, but I am doing it again here in the discussion section.
I would like to know if anyone could be given advice.
I started to study for the LSAT a few months ago, and I am struggling with the reading comprehension part.
As a non-native English speaker, this is by far the most challenging section for me. And I am a non-traditional applicant who finished my undergrad more than ten years ago, so, unfortunately, I've not read too much complicated thing in English until recently. I want to know if it is good to skip one passage and focus on three passages due to my reading speed. Also, to improve my overall score, should I focus on logical reasoning and games parts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. My target score is 160-162.
Is there a way to modify the "Date Taken" for PrepTest that you manually input your score for? I had some pen & paper preptests that I took prior to signing up for 7sage and I would like to be able to include them in my analytics without it making my most recent score go down. Otherwise, it just sets the date taken as the date you input the answers on 7sage. Any suggestions on how I can do this?
Is 7sage worth the price?
Anybody wants to shed some light on the LAWGIC aspect of this question?
Apparently, according to PowerScore explanation, the stimulus is a bi-conditional relationship because of the phrase "if it satisfies two requirements".
Therefore, the bi-conditional relationship is as follows:
Accurately Describes using a few elements AND Make Definite Predictions (---) Good theory.
Would the contrapositive of above become:
/Good theory (---) /Accurately Describes using a few elements OR /Make Definite Predictions?
Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [brief description]"
MSS - can someone help explain why D + E are incorrect and A is correct? I'm just missing something.Thanks in advance :)
Offering a free LG session before starting school in the fall! Dm if interested!
