Hi, I was wondering what everyone has been doing or has done in order to practice and prepare for the LSAT writing portion. Is there any practice materials you recommend?

Basically, how do you study for the Logical Reasoning using a strategic and structured method akin to the foolproof method? I am currently focused on Foolproofing but will be start back on LR soon. I have already finished the CC a while ago and was consistently getting around -8 which was my starting point anyway. I also have the Loophole and will go over it one more time since I rushed through it back in November. I would like to know what other effective strategies people have been using for LR before I start focusing on the section again.

Hi everyone

I have already registered for FebLSAT but Im 5 point away from the grade that I want, and I cant improve by 5 point in less than a month. I was thinking if I don't take LSAT in Feb and take it for the first time in April, Is it going to stay FLEX after April or not? Do you guys have any thoughts about this ?

JY mentioned that a good way to approach RRE Questions would be to view them as weakening questions by negating the last premise / including a new conclusion and then finding the AC that most weakens the new argument.

While this works for regular RRE questions, i'm struggling to apply the method to EXCEPT questions and questions in which there isn't a paradox.

Any advice would be extremely appreciated as this is the question type I struggle with the most.

Hello Everyone!

This is the first of a Full LR Tutoring Series.

This session will be focusing on Most Strongly Supported Questions, all skill ranges are welcome, The session is suited for beginners as well as those struggling with this particular question type. I'll be holding the session Wednesday the 27th at 6PM EST.

We will be going over:

(1) MSS Question Stems

(2) What makes MSS questions unique

(3) My number one tip for solving some MSS questions in under a minute.

We will be using PT(S) 19 - 23 for examples.

See you there!

Hi! I have been using my Mac to review 7Sage. I got a new MacBook Pro yesterday and now I can't see the entire video, nor will it allow me to scroll down to access the "next" button. I can scroll through the syllabus, but not the videos.

Help! lol

Can someone explain score cancellation? What is the purpose of it? Especially when we have not gotten our scores back? How would this effect the application process if we do cancel a score? Is there an overall advantage or disadvantage to to this process? What if I don't cancel but retake the LSAT in April and get a better score the second time around? Do I have to cancel in order to take another LSAT Flex? I took the Jan Flex and I feel like I didn't do as well as I wanted, but I still have some hope I did well. I'm spitballing the idea but I'm not sure what that means entirely.

Just looking for some clarification!

Thanks!

Hi all. One of my applications requires me to list the other schools I'm applying to. Does anyone have insight on how this will impact their decision? (it's required, not optional)

I know that I probably should just get my mind off it and relax but I Can't.

I'm literally going through every post about the test on reddit and on 7sage to, i don't even know, validate my own feelings? lol

My pt average for the past 7 tests have been around 170.5, worst PT being 168 and the best being 173.

On the real thing, the anxiety was insane i totally feel like i bombed the whole test except LG which I had 8 minutes left bc it was so damn easy. I wish I got a hard LG and easier RC because LG is my best section smh

Honestly I can't even remember what I read during the LR and RC sections.

I hope that my actual score is within my range. It would be so disheartening if I end up a full -10 below my average

Does anyone else think their intuitions after the test are the same as the real score? I honestly think it could go either way (good or bad) but the fact that I can't get a grasp is giving me really bad anxiety.

Decided to start PTing using tests from 2018 because of the short runway available to me -- absolutely bombed the LR section on the two I've attempted so far. LG is reasonable and RCs are occasionally tough but I'm stunned by how difficult LR questions are from Q15 onward. Has anyone else experienced this??

I know the actual LSAT flex contains 5 sections. Are we able to take a prep test on 7Sage with 5 sections?

I've been studying since around end of November using other resources, but it's not until now that I've really gotten into the nitty gritty and regularly taking PTs. I work full time and do find myself slacking simply because the days are so long and studying can be draining as we all know. I do my best to study at least 2 hours a day with a PT every weekend. I'm definitely behind because I missed a few weeks of studying due to some personal reasons.

My original goal was to take the April exam but as it's creeping up, and the registration deadline is approaching, I'm not sure how confident I feel. My PT's are nowhere near where I want them to be. My initial reasoning behind taking the April exam is so I could give myself time to take the test again if need be, and still apply for schools this fall... If I take my exam in June, do you think I'll still have time for another test if needed, plus applications?

I just registered for 7sage after I heard a lot of great reviews from friends/family who have used it, and would love to follow this study schedule, however it advises me against the April deadline (even though I have done studying prior and could probably skip a few course lessons/use it as review)

Which method is better, to finish through the Core Curriculum, after then return to questions that I missed and redoing them, or to work on getting each question set until I get them correct before moving on?

Hi folks,

I decided to take the plunge and start the LSAT journey (again...long story). I'm now in a home office FT job so I have more steady hours, but my schedule for a planned Aug 2021 LSAT has it at almost 35 hours per week which floored me. With work and family situation, I simply can't add 35h/wk onto it.

My diagnostic was 150 (not great, but whatever) and my goal is 160+ for most Cdn law schools. So, I'm really looking for 10-15 points. Does anyone have any tips on how to lighten the weekly load but still get to the goal?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am currently looking for a study partner that studies during none conventional hours. I typically work longer days 8:00am-9pm central time, so I'm forced to study from about 9:45-1:00am or 5:00-7:45am on weekdays. And on weekends, usually after 5pm. As for my score, I'm mid 160s and looking to break into mid 170s by April. I'm thrilled to work with anyone that is also forced to study during these disgusting hours. If this seems too early/late, maybe you could hit some pushups or body weight squats before studying. Or maybe get some smelling salts. Whatever you need, lets make it happen.

I'm taking the April lsat (11 weeks away) and I'm in the final 2 months of my studies where I'm honing/cleaning up and just taking PTs.

Up until this point I've been doing 4 section PTs. Should I just only do flex PTs from now on? Been mostly doing 4 sections for the extra LR section because I feel like I can always learn from it. What do you all think?

Referring to Pacifico's classic post on studying for logic games, Pacifico mentions going through LG from prep tests 1-35 repeatedly until you reach a level of mastery. Is this still a good method or are recent logic games different enough that you have to practice with sooner games?

I am just starting my LSAT journey and I am not quite sure how things are looking as of now.

I am currently in my final semester of undergrad and am applying to law school as well. I am a psychology and sociology double major and only need two classes to graduate because I already fulfilled majority of the requirements prior to senior year. I am currently underloading with 3 classes but was also thinking of dropping one class because I am not that interested in it (we have until Feb 1st to drop classes without a 'W'). My dilemma though is whether law schools will not like the fact that I am taking only 2 classes in my final semester, and I was wondering whether they prefer a slightly more rigorous senior year course load?

Hi everyone. After scoring a 168 (4-5 points below my PT average) on the November LSAT, I have been studying for a retake in February. Since the November test I have been averaging over 175 and have scored as high as 180 (this felt great but it also stings that it wasn't on an official test). Does anyone have any advice on how to keep this momentum going and what my study plan should look like? I'm thinking of relaxing things as I don't have much room to improve and just need to lock in performance.

Also, does anyone have tips on performing up to or above your PT average on test day? Although my average is higher now, I would still like to avoid a 5 point drop if possible. From the advice of others on here, I have taken up meditation and am trying to adopt the mindset that my official test is just another practice test. Is there anything else I should try?

Thank you for the advice.

I am moving on from the LSAT. I sat for the November exam and just recently sat for the January exam to increase my score, but it doesn’t matter what I get; I have to move on from this test.

I’ve gotten into three schools so far, but I applied to a fair amount, so there are still decisions to be made. However, by the time the dust settles, my account here will be permanently expired. My only desire is that I pick the school that is the right fit for me: T14 or not.

Throughout this journey, I had to continually remind myself that I’m going to law school to provide a helping hand by attempting to bring us all toward human wholeness and into the light of understanding. Keeping that at my core, It doesn’t matter what school I attend or what law I may or may not practice; meeting the human need is the reasoning behind this pursuit.

So, to those who will read this, I wish you profound success and clarity on your journey. Everything positive that can happen will, just not always how we expect it. Nevertheless, you will get into law school.

Stay kind, stay hopeful, and stay determined.

Thank you, 7Sage — I’ll see you all on the other side.

Best,

Aristotle

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone would want to join a small study group. I'm currently scoring in the 150's and hope to get into the 160's. I am currently working with one other person almost everyday at 9 PM EST. If anyone would like to join, send me a message. I would like to have a small group of about 5-6 people in total.

I know that BR is absolutely crucial with LR but how crucial is it with LG? I am just starting out so I am no where near finishing a game on time, so I tend to do the games with unlimited time. Should I go back and review it in this cases?

So I recently retook my LSAT and so have an opportunity to retake the LSAT writing. I was pretty happy with my argument and answers to the first LSAT writing prompt, but finished my conclusion with only a few seconds remaining and wasn't able to correct several mispellings and one word confusion at the very top of the first paragraph ("sight" instead of "site"). I know that one or even two mispellings are not a big deal, reviewers know the prompt is strictly timed, but several and a word confusion concerned me a little, especially since we are provided with automatic spell check. In your opinion is this something that is worth retaking the LSAT writing for? Why/why not?

What do you guys think?
