"Timing" videos?

In the explaination video of PT153.S2.26 J.Y. references a "timing video". I also saw on another previous explaination (can't remember which one) it was a video of him going through a section on paper timed. Is there a way we can access these videos?

😖 Frustrated

Can I improve my score in one month?

I've been getting around a 156 on my practice LSAT's with my blind reviews in the 165-166 range. Is it possible for me to get over 160 for the October LSAT? I've been told my problem isn't the content, its timing and consistency. Is this truly what it is?

Blind Review Data

I think that I would benefit from timing data during blind review. Not a live counter, but a background counter to show how much time I am spending during blind review. This may seem like "just more data." However, I see this as helping to hone-in further on specific question types and their nuances. This could help answer "What about this question makes me spend this much time on it?"

Twin Cities Study Group

Hi!

I am studying for the January 2026 test and was wondering if anyone wanted to start a study group. I work full-time but go to the library or study at home after work and on weekends.

I am down to do practice sections together or even just be an accountability buddy to study next to.

I am open to both virtual and in-person!

Pretty much what the title says. My main issue is with LR. I used to be able to score 18/25. Then I hit a couple highs of 20/25 and was very, very happy. A week before, I started getting 16/15/14 out of 25, a pretty big dip. Took the Sept test, then about a week break. Did a section drill yesterday, got a 13/25. Is my brain broken? Was it too much to hope for a linear increase? For reference, I work full time, so MTWRF I study 4 hours daily: I wake up an hour before work to study, the hour of my lunch break, and 2 hours when I get home. The weekends are about 8-10 hour days for me. Is it too much to hope for a 160 by Oct?

ProProcter LSAT

I am taking the September 2025 LSAT online using ProProcter. In the test instructions it says that scrap paper and pens are prohibited. How am I supposed to map out logic heavy questions? Is there a pencil tool on the program? What about a highlighter tool?

I am trying to figure out how I can better understand negating conditionals. For that I tried to start with truth tables for conditionals. But I found that I am unsure if I understand the truth tables for conditionals.

“Princeville is a city in Quebec. If you live in Princeville (P), then you live in Quebec. (Q).”

In what situation is the conditional relationship P→Q true and in what cases is it false?

In other words when is P sufficient for Q and Q is necessary for P. There are four possible outcomes:

1)  you live in Princeville (P=T),  you live in Quebec (Q=T). (P→Q applies & is true)

2) you live in Princeville(P=T), you do NOT live in Quebec(Q=F). (P→Q is false)

3) you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you live in Quebec (Q=T) (P→Q is F?!? why?)

4) If you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you do NOT live in Quebec (Q=F). (P→Q is F?!? why?)

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

The last two rows do not seem to be very clear for me if we look at set/subsets.

If I replace the conditional statement with subset symbol P→Q =P⸦Q the truth table does not seem to be very clear.

However, the following (from https://courses.lumenlearning.com/frontrange-mathforliberalartscorequisite1/chapter/1-8-truth-tables-conditionals-and-biconditionals/) makes more sense to me.

p → q where p is I live in an apartment and q is then I pay rent. 

What are the outcomes?

  1. I do live in an apartment and I pay rent, then the situation is true (no eviction!)

  2. I live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is false (eviction, broken promise)

  3. I don’t live in an apartment but I do pay rent, then the situation is true (though why would you do it?)

  4. I don’t live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is true (no promise broken)

 

-

The truth table makes sense if we define and look at conditionals so:

"If P then Q" simply eliminates the possibility that both P is true and Q is false.

P⟹Q  ≡  /(P and /Q)  ≡  /P or Q

 

For the inverse:

It would be nice if there was a clear example of how to do the same for an inverse please. I can do it if /P→/Q = / [/(P and /Q)]  = P and /Q. However is there an easy to understand example for this?

🙃 Confused

Priority tags broken?

It is all the sudden now showing that I have barely any tags above "Low priority". My expected accuracy for everything just tanked to like 25%... Last night it was fine! Haven't taken any tests since.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in regularly going through 3-5 star CausR and CondR questions. I have bee stuck at ~170 for a while now because of them and was hoping that maybe just talking to someone might help raise both our scores.

I live in the Phx area, so I guess most interaction would be digital.

Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day!

Edit: Here is a discord link for anyone interested: https://discord.gg/tMr4A2wN

I had to withdraw from all of my classes halfway through my third semester of university because of a traumatic accident which left me with a severe concussion and broken collarbone. This fact is described in my personal statement, though it is not the main topic.

Would it be advisable to also explain the 'W's on my transcript from this time through a addendum, or would that be over-kill?

Hi! looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

💪 Motivated

Maybe Just Maybe

Peace Everyone,

I’m new to the 7Sage community and currently preparing for the January LSAT. I’m looking to form or join a dedicated, accountability-based study group with other motivated test takers.

The idea is to meet once a week to study together, discuss strategies, review tough questions, and keep each other on track. Whether you’re just getting started or already deep into your prep, let’s help each other stay focused and improve.

If you're interested, feel free to send me a private message or reply to this post. Let’s put in the work and get the score we deserve!

Hi there! I'm in Oakland, CA and looking for a study group or study buddy for the LSAT. I'm planning on taking the exam in October (and again in November if I'm not happy with my score).

Don't know if a group exists already but if not, let's link up!

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an accountability buddy or study partner to help stay consistent and motivated while preparing for the LSAT. My goal is to get around 175 and I’m currently scoring around 155s.

I’d love to connect with someone who is serious about improving, whether that’s checking in daily/weekly, sharing study plans, or even doing timed sections together over Zoom/Discord.

If you’re also looking for accountability and support, feel free to reply here or message me directly—we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us!

Good luck to everyone studying!
