Have 2 weeks until Aug. LSAT Flex. RC & LR consistently around - 4-5. LG consistently -11+. Need serious help guys. Should I be foolproofing games?

I'm getting confused on how to write contrapositives with conditional sequencing rules on a one dimensional game board.

ex) if H before M then L before p

would the contrapositive of this be

If Not( L before P) then Not (H before M) which on a one dimensional game board would turn into

If P before L then M before H

or would it just be if the sufficient isn't satisfied the rule goes away and there is no contrapositive

Hello!

So, I registered for the October 3rd LSAT and all it tells me about the testing center is that it is "near Toronto" in Canada and it does not give any more details about location. Does this mean I cannot choose my testing location or do those options become available later? I was just wondering if this is normal or if I did something incorrectly when registering.

Thank you in advance!

I’m sure this has been answered somewhere but do law schools see if you cancelled a score? Just wondering if it would look worse to get not a great score or to cancel a score

I've been considering writing a DS about reconciling my conservative cultural background with my American environment. I specifically plan on touching on some aspects of my life that resulted in me being distanced from my cultural community (i.e single motherhood etc.) while other aspects kept me from feeling fully American. I'll also be talking about a more personal issue that made me feel isolated by both, my cultural and American community, because of social taboo/pressure and because I didn't feel like the resources around me were available for people like me. I'm thinking of tying it together by detailing how I've found a happy medium between these 2 identities that once seemed to clash for me, and how this have given me a unique perspective that I'll bring to law school.

I know it's better to not have a DS than to have a bad one, so do y'all think this would be a good idea to pursue - I wanted some opinions before I start writing.

Should I switch to simulated flex for pts leading up to the October lsat? Or should I keep taking full length lsats? Thanks guys

Does anyone else feel discouraged when their LSAT score doesn’t improve no matter how much you practice ? I am currently stuck with my score and I don’t know what else to do. I practice 18-20 hours weekly with LR & LG, I have been doing this for over six months now and I don’t see any difference in my score which makes me very discouraged. I also noticed that with LR questions, I’m almost close to choosing the correct answer, when in fact I chose the wrong answer and that keeps happening. If any of you guys have any tips on what I could possibly do, I’m not taking the LSAT until November. I would very appreciate it ! Thank you

I just took a 3-section PT on LawHub but chose to take the second LR section instead of the first -- I didn't realize that the Flex Simulator automatically removes the second LR section. I really want to log my results for this Flex PT onto 7Sage, so is there a way somehow for me to choose to include the second LR section instead of the first? The obvious answer seems to be no but maybe putting my question out there can lead to an update that allows users to choose which LR to include.

Thanks for the help! :)

Hey Guys! Im averaging a -6 on LR. My BR scores are close to -2or -3. What can I do to close in on this gap?

I have only taken 4 PTs so far so is this something that bridges itself as I have more tests under my belt? or do I have to implement new strategies ?

Hi,

So I took the GRE back in 2017 and got a very average score.

However, I'm currently in the low-mid 170s for the LSAT (90-95 percentile).

A lot of schools require that I send both scores in.. would my 'average' GRE score hurt my chances of getting in to a T14 school?

I'm debating if I should spend some time to raise my GRE score to match my LSAT percentile before sending my apps in.

Any help would be appreciated!

I went from a 138 on my first LSAT the 9th percentile, to a 166 the 92nd percentile.

There is no easy path/shortcut/trick that is going to make it happen.

STUDY. PRACTICE. QUALITY.

DO NOT GIVE UP.

Standard success and "thank you" post to 7Sage. J.Y. and crew, y'all are legends. Of note: I did switch up my study techniques, and how I used some of the 7sage tools. So, if anyone is on a plateau feel free to reach out. Generally speaking, I really leaned into the questions I got wrong and questions that took me too long. I also had to fool proof every game possible. T'was a grind y'all. Good luck!

Hi all!

I'm retaking for my third (and hopefully final!) time and I'm working on getting my score into the 160+ range. I've really struggled with holding myself accountable to studying in the past and honestly would just like a group of people to work/vent with to help through this crazy test. I do most of my studying in the evening and on the weekends and wanted to see if there's any interest in getting together some type of group to text/chat/check-in over the next few months. I'm not sure what the best platform would be but definitely open to suggestions or any other thoughts!

To those who score well in RC:

What does timing look like for you in a section? Not in terms of breakdown per passage, but how much time you have left over and how many questions you left yourself go back to?

My BR for RC is consistently -1 or -0, but under timed conditions it ranges (from -2 to -8). I'm trying to close this gap, since I think my BR indicates that it's a timing issue and not an understanding issue?

Thank you :)

I'm incredibly grateful for the great resources on 7Sage and the supportive community here!

My diagnostic was 161 last July. I've been studying on the off since then while going to school. I finished all the PTs from 35 above and did most LGs from PT1-35 as well.

Good luck to everyone taking the test in the future!

Hi all! I'm looking for someone to go over LR sections with, i was essentially thinking we can go through a section together and talk through it! That way in a sense we are both learning and could help each other out. Let me know if you are interested

I'm taking the October LSAT and will be applying when those scores come out, would now be too early to ask for letters of recommendation?

I got a 178 on the July Flex thanks to 7Sage, a consistent study partner, a good study environment and luck!

My study methodology:

I took my diagnostic in February, and then did the 7Sage course over the next three months while working full-time (50 hour work weeks). I started diligently studying in mid-May: I took my first practice test 5/23, and started averaging ~168, and ~171 BR. My highest practice test was a 174.

I took the week of July 4th off from work, and starting doing drills. At this point I was doing PTs about every 3-4 days. I kept a spreadsheet tracking all the question types I'd missed, and did drills of the LR types I was missing most frequently (Flaw, Weaken, NA). For drills, I did smaller problem sets (~10 questions) of each problem type at each difficulty level (i.e. 1* Flaw, 2* Flaw, etc). My study partner (a close friend with a complimentary strengths) and I would often go over questions either one of us missed on a problem set, or once did an entire LR section together and talked through how to approach each problem and predict answers. RC was the section where I saw the most improvement: I went from -7 to -2/3 on problem sets. The key for me was reading quickly, but thoroughly and making sure I understood what each paragraph or shift in structure contributed to the overall meaning. I would highlight important names or key dates, and underline the main thesis. For the most part, I would get the answers right with my gut instinct, and the ones I missed were usually answers I had changed at the last minute. So, on test day, I just decided to trust my gut and not flip flop between answers. I'm also an avid reader and spent most of my downtime reading (when not studying or working), and I think that helped me quite a bit. LG was my strongest section from the start (my diagnostic was -0) and I was pretty consistent throughout my studying. The key for me was doing the initial games pretty quickly, so that if later games were tougher I had more than enough time to map out game boards or brute force the game.

I took a day off before the test where I just read a novel all day, and didn't stress about the test. On test day, I felt pretty calm, but walked out of the test having no clue how I did. My biggest piece of advice would be to not over-study, and to be relaxed on the day of the exam (even if it means forgoing some days of studying). I even signed up for the August Flex to relieve the stress of doing well on the July test. Good luck to you all!! Feel free to PM me with questions - this community really helped me when I was studying!

When I applied to some tutoring places, they asked for an official score report. I logged into my account, and clicked "view LSAT registration and statuses." I scrolled down, and I assume thats where you normally find your official score report. However, theres a green box with an arrow, and the icon legend says that means "not available." Does anyone have any insight on this? How can we get an official score report if we took a Flex? Do I have to email LSAC myself? Will they provide me with one? Do I wait a few more months? Or am I looking at the wrong place?

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns?

Hi,

I would like to start foolproofing to increase my score on games can someone explain to me how it works?

So I recently purchased the prep test plus add on from LSAC and 7sage is telling me that its still not working. I wanna get my analytics for online tests. How do I make this work?

Hi,

I have trouble seeing why answer choice E here is wrong-- wouldn't the third sentence here be considered a "generalization", since a generalization is practically the same thing as a general principle, and the idea that "parallel lines often appear to converge" seems to be a general principle-- something that could be applied to multiple instances? In addition, if my aforementioned reasoning is correct, isn't this generalization being "used" to argue against people ridding themselves of tendencies by being used as context for the analogy that the stimulus brings up in the last sentence?

Any #help would be very much appreciated!

Best regards

Have there been misc games in the recent tests? I am full-proofing LGs in PTs 1-35 and don't want to spoil the more recent tests for myself but would like to know if I should be dedicating equal time on the misc games as much as the rest?

Hi guys!! I'm having some trouble with Logical Reasoning, specfically with SA/NA/PSA. I have gone through the CC, read powerscore/loophole/trainer, and i just cannot figure them out!

I'm taking the exam in August and was hoping to create some problem sets with these questions and go through them. I'm looking for someone to do this with me/listen to how I go through it and aid me ?! Thank you so much!!
