Good morning! I am trouble linking my 7Sage with LSAC's Prep Plus. I have previously linked my account with Princeton Review so I am wondering if this is what is causing the issue. How do I fix this problem so that I can prep using 7Sage instead. I have paid for the service through 7Sage and have the activation link though it is not working. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Any suggestions?

7/8 LR mistakes on my last PT were overconfidence errors (didn't flag the question and answered in less than 1 minute). Caught all but 4/7 of these relatively quickly on BR. Any tips on how to overcome this. I don't think it was my nerves on this exam (though that has been a factor in the past).

I typically make 1-2 overconfidence errors per PT but this PT 82 was particularly brutal, I guess.

Trying to figure out a timing strategy without a lot of luck...

Hi guys,

Is the negation of "many" "none" or just "not many"? I think the negation is "none" because "many" implies "more than 1" and how many it exactly implies depends on different contexts. Did any lesson cover this?

Thanks in advance!

I understand that having experience in the legal field would separate a person from other applicants and boost admission chances. However, if I did not have any legal experience yet had an above average GPA and LSAT score would I still have a good chance of admission? Basically, how necessary is working in or having an internship in law in applying to law school? I'm going into my senior year and I have a 4.0 GPA and am aiming to score in the 170s for my real test (I scored 164, 175 BR today on a practice test). This year I am also going to write an Honors Thesis for my major so I don't know if I will have the time to obtain a legal internship until the summer. I plan to apply in October of next year.

Hi, I started studying for LSAT in June but joined 7sage just a week ago.

As I already have done something equivalent to core curriculum, now I'm on PTs.

I scored 151 on my untimed cold test in May and am aiming for 167 in October.

I've done PTs from 1 to 5 scoring 160 or 161.

I planned to take LSAT in January 2021 but felt the need to push myself harder and $45 score preview motivated me to shoot for October.

Now as I know I don't have enough time to do all the PTs before the test unfortunately,

I would really appreciate some advice from those studying for or who have achieved high-rise in short term.

  • Should I focus on latest PTs? or do random ones? (I'm expecting to do 4 PTs and BRs a week which sum up 28PTs before Oct.)
  • Any other advice on 7-week study schedule?
  • Thanks!

    I've already taken the PTs in the 70s and 80s and I want to retake them. Is there anyway I could just create another fresh copy for the whole preptest? I only saw an option to delete my first take - which would also delete the wrong answer data that were used for analytic purposes

    Please let me know if I'm missing something obvious (lol). Thanks!

    Hi all - I'd really appreciate your help on understanding the argument in this question.

    I get the gap in this question is that just because first doctrine states that "all historical events must be explained in economic factors" doesn't mean that historical events are explained only in economic factors.. that's why A is the correct answer for this question.

    However, explanations in other forums state that second doctrine is rightly mistaken because it's apparently stating that all historical events are explained by psychological factors and psychological factors only. But I don't really understand how this is inferred from the statement in the stim - "The second doctrine attempts to account psychologically for all historical events." Does "attempts to account psychologically for all historical events" infer that historical events are accounted only through psychologically?

    Does anyone have suggestions for how to foolproof LG and stay organized without printing the games out? How do you keep track of which ones you've done/need to go back and re do? How do you take new games while also redoing old ones?

    I am scheduled for 230 pm on the 29th and was wondering if anyone had any tips/recommendations on what to do (OR NOT TO DO) that morning and the day before test day? I am thinking just waking up getting little workout in just to do something but not sure what else... thank you and good luck to all August test takers.. go get what's yours.

    LSAT Wizard

    Has anyone tried LSAT Wizard's logic game methods? and how do you feel about incorporating that with JY's method? I recently watched LSAT Wizard's videos and I feel like it is quiet helpful but also feel like I'm even more confused on how to learn LG

    Hi,

    Can anyone explain why the answer here is A and not E?

    I have major trouble understanding why A is right when it doesn't seem to explain why the 52% of people who like the candidate continue to like the candidate-- it only talks about the people who don't like the candidate.

    Likewise, E at least seems like it could apply to both groups of people since the people who liked the candidate believed the candidate's excuse while the people who didn't like the candidate may not listen to his excuse.

    Any #help would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    With just under three weeks until the August flex, I am persistently testing 156. I have tested higher, and reached my goal of 160 once last week. 160 is my goal, but I can't seem to make it stick. A 156 on flex is really only 4-5 questions off of a 160, but I am struggling to close the gap. Any suggestions on how to get those extra points in the final stretch? My weaknesses continue to be both LG and RC. Wondering if I should reschedule until Oct or give this one a shot (first write). I'd love to hear your experiences with score fluctuations in the final few weeks of study :)

    I'll be taking August Flex exam and I have a big fear of LR section.

    I've been reading Loophole despite the test literally being in few weeks. Now I'm not sure if that's the best way to go about bringing my score up 3+ since I consistently score around -4 in LG and -6 in RC. Should I focus on perfecting LG or go back to the basics and read up on Loophole to strengthen my fundamentals? I'm feeling defeated because I can never get past 170 when doing BR, so I feel like this indicates a fundamental weakness. But on the other hand it feels like I'm beating a dead horse by reading LR textbooks when I should now strategize to maximize my scores.

    I've recently been working on Parallel Flaw questions and have realized that I am struggling with linking up conditional statements. When I am given a statement such as:

    All dogs are happy. If you are happy, you will live a good life.

    The presence of conditional indicators allows me to recognize that the statement above uses conditional logic. Beyond that, there is also a "link word" that allows for me to chain these two statements together. The "link word" is "happy."

    However, I have started to come across stimuli that use conditional logic, but do not have an outright pronounced "link word." An example of this is PT32-Section4-Q21. The stimulus provides us with the following:

    Premise 1:

    Experimental psychology requires application of statistics

    experimental psychology -----> application of statistics

    Premise 2:

    You can't understand such application without training

    understand application -----> training

    In the video explanation JY seemingly seamlessly uses logic to link together the two premises.

    I am struggling to see how these two premies can be linked up. I thought application of statistics and understanding of statistics were two distinct ideas.

    There have been a couple other questions where I have run into a similar issue. I think that for me there is a disconnect between the context of the sentence and the conditionality. I would really appreciate some insight regarding this particular question, and just a general idea of what I can do to get better with this gap in my understanding of conditionality.

    Thanks in advance!

    Just took PTest 55 and I had a GIANT drop in my score. I've been testing using buffered time; on my last PTest I used a 7 minute buffer (42 minutes) and got a 166 and a 167 in blind review. Before that I had gotten a 173 in blind review.

    This test was horrendous. 156 in score and a 157 in blind review. I don't understand what went wrong. I was doing two tests per week before this; should I go back to that? I was going to move to 1 test per week in order to keep up with my job and also not run out of tests. I started my job this week and had to work weird hours (NY Time) but it's only temporary. Maybe that was why?

    Any tips on whether I should massively reorient my schedule? So far I've been doing this:

    Monday: drills

    Tuesday: drills

    Wednesday: prep test

    Thursday: blind review

    Friday: going over answers

    Saturday: drills

    Sunday: rest

    Feeling terrible!

    Hi I am currently struggling to get out of the 150s as I have been consistently scoring between 154-158 on every PT. I am looking for a private tutor to help me achieve my goal score which is in the high 160s- low 170s. If you have any recommendations or are a tutor yourself please let me know! Thank you and we've got this!
