I recently did a spot the flaw question where it said something along the lines of "We did a survey and 50% of people surveyed believed if A then B and 25% of people surveyed believed if B then C. Therefore more people believe if A then B compared to if C then B"
I saw two flaws here:
1) They draw a conclusion about the population in general based on only a sample of the population (we do not know who many were surveyed)
2) They have a mistaken conditional where they switched if B then C to if C then B
The problem was that EACH were mentioned in the answer choices with #2 being correct.
The explanation why 1) was wrong is "there is nothing inherently flawed about drawing a conclusion from a sample. What would be flawed is relying on a unrepresentative sample, but thats not what 1) says"
This explanation threw me for a loop. I understand unrepresentative as in "We asked 10,000 kids so it applies to the whole population" because these are different groups
BUT does this mean if it said "We asked 10 people, 50% said yes and 25% said no so more people believe yes" it wouldn't be a flaw?
OR
Because the question did not mention anything about the sample, there is no way for the sample to be unrepresentative for the argument even if we draw a conclusion about people in general for the sample like if the argument said "We conducted a survey and 60% said they believe in Santa and 40% said they do not, so more people than not believe in Santa" is not a flawed argument
If you want to find the exact question it starts with "A recent survey showed that 50 percent of people polled believe that elected officials"
I think it would be really helpful if we can also have the older PTs (PT1-89) available on this website.
Hi all -
I took an extended break from studying and am currently working a new job after declining admittance into law school. I believe that if I am able to give myself ample time to study, then I will be able to make a better score, get better scholarships, and in turn get into a better school.
Does anyone have any advice as to how to get back into studying? I previously used 7Sage and was wondering what the pros/cons of using it would be. Thank you all!
My BR is easily 20 - 25 points higher than my timed conditions PTs.
I am understanding concepts but application under time is actually ruining my faith in my comprehension of this stuff. I completely crack under time. Not characteristic of me, truly.
I take the November LSAT with a goal score of 160. I am testing at 149 - 153.
Not going for a top school.
My diagnostic was 140 8 months ago. I've been burning out studying the past 3 months diligently. The first 5 months were a wash. Yes I spent a ton of time in core curriculum the first 5 months on the old 7sage platform. I have been a live class member since I started with 7sage.
In a tight spot. Give me anything you have to break through this wall I keep hitting.
If nothing else, it felt good to just spill to the group haha.
Anyone else having weird inconsistency in which questions are recommended for BR? In the past few days, I have been recommended to BR questions I got right on the first pass and am 10-15 seconds under the target time. It really throws me off and doesn't help my confidence in the moment. Is this a 7Sage glitch or an update in the BR process?
Can a feature be added where we can filter questions for our drill based on if they were done a while ago (i.e. over a month ago)? Like if I am running out of questions for a certain question type, it would be great for the drill to select any fresh questions i have and then pick any seen/answered questions that were not recent (so there's less of a chance of doing them recently and remembering the right answer). Thanks!
I'm planning on taking the Jan LSAT and applying for Law school right after ( I know I am very behind). I am currently in my gap year and was hoping to apply and get into law school for the fall.... I am worried I won't be able to do that anymore. I've noticed I'm struggling the most with LR and being able to identify the correct approach for each of the question types. It is taking me too much time to get through the LR sections, and by the end of the time I have about 7-8 questions that are still unanswered with about 2 mins remaining.
I need a comprehensive study method to help me. I join the live classes every day and do drill sets, journal my work, both correct answers and incorrect ones. And I don't feel like it is working. I do at least 6 hours of classes and drills a day (excluding weekends), and I am not seeing any change, which is TERRIFYING. Does anyone have recommendations on how to study more effectively? My methods are not making me feel confident at all. My LSAT score goal is 160+. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am also looking into getting a tutor. I don't know if I should do it through 7 Sage or a different platform. Any and all recommendations and suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!
Hey everyone!
I am talking the November LSAT and am wondering if there are specific PT's I should do before the test arrives. Are there PT's that will most closely resemble this month's LSAT by virtue of being more recent, or is one PT as good as any other?
And one more question. I am aiming for a score above 165, but a score above 160 will do. I have been PT'ing between 163-166 with an average of 165, and as long as this doesn't drop dramatically on test day I am in a good place. Any tips to ensure test-day performance doesn't drop below the average PT score? I am taking the test at an in-person centre (wasn't offered another option).
Best of luck to all the other November LSAT takers!
I feel like it would be helpful to filter our analytics by time, for example (Last 30 days) etc. Some of my flagged analytics aren't really high priority anymore!
As the title suggests. Comments are sorted by newest by default, but even after i click sort by likes the order doesn't change.

Hey guys,
I'm writing to see if anyone else is having the same issue: when I go to drill, I noticed that I can't select a double-category question (e.g., doing 3-5 weaken/causal combo questions). I've tried it 2x now and I'll get causal questions, but then be given causal MSS, MC, and SA, not only causal weaken like I want.
If anyone encountered this issue, how did you resolve it?
So I heard that for questions such as SA and PSA if the conclusion in the stimulus has a value statement (such as "should") and the premises do not, the correct answer choice will have a value statement.
Is this true? And if so are these the only two question types the trick is true for?

Self explanatory. I used to be able to see how long I had an answer choice selected (orange = incorrect; green = correct).
I am no longer seeing that. It is just a blank/grey bar.
Hello folks! So, I was supposed to take the LSAT this week, but I forgot to bring an acceptable form of ID (due to my travel circumstances, it was impossible to go and get an ID), so I basically just had to take the L and go home without taking the LSAT.
What I'm wondering: How will this show up on my LSAT record? Should I include this test date in my law school applications? Is this a big enough deal that I should write a small addendum explaining the circumstances?
Any advice would be awesome, thank you!
Hi - has anyone else been getting this issue over the past few days where the timing bars in your PTs and other drills no longer show when you marked an AC as correct/incorrect in the overview of the results? It only shows that level of detail when I go into each individual question now. I also tried switching to a different browser and encountered the same issue. Apologies in advance if I am missing an easy fix!
Hi everyone, I am feeling a little worried right now because only some of the schools, I am applying to require academic references (I'm Canadian) but i honestly do not have any super strong connections with profs. I am worried a prof will reject my request for a letter of reference as they do not know we well enough even if i did well in their course. Any Advice?
Hi guys!
I'm new to the LSAT and started using 7Sage about four weeks after I began studying. My diagnostic score was very low, and I wasn’t improving much just by doing drills. So, I decided to start using 7Sage to learn all the fundamentals. However, I sometimes find it hard to connect what I’m learning to real LSAT questions. I understand the concepts, but I’m not sure whether I should wait to finish all the foundational lessons before doing drills, or divide my time between both. The lessons are long and sometimes feel very abstract. Please let me know what approach you’d recommend for someone starting completely from scratch
I really think I'm burning out. How do y'all get out of the slump? I'm aiming for anywhere between a 155 and 160 on the LSAT. My best PT score is a 158 and most of my BRs are in the 160s.
I took a PT 2 weeks ago and got a 153. Took one today and got a 152. I'm finding that by section 3 I'm starting to feel the burnout.
I took the September LSAT and got a 151 and wanted to die haha. Since then I've been really hunkering down on keeping a thorough wrong answer journal, reviewing all my questions, working on my timing (which is really good now). But now I'm at the point where I just don't know what to do next.
Any tips? I work full time and I'm a mom so my study time in the evenings is ROUGH.
I took a prep course with my university, and I am only at 135. I take the LSAT on November 5th, and I am VERY worried!! I really want a 157.
I have a score hold for the August LSAT. I haven't been given any information from LSAC as to why and when I will receive my score? Does anyone have any experience with score holds and how long they take? I am registered for September and am worried I won't know my August score before the September test. They also can't move me to October.
Update: It is October 7, 2025, and my August LSAT is still on hold.
