Hi! I am confused when I should chain the conditional statements to make inferences and when I shouldn't in the In/Out games. I noticed that when JY explains the games where each of them connects in some way, sometimes he chains them and then makes inferences, and sometimes he doesn't. So I am not sure when I SHOULD NOT chain? If the conditions connect to each other in a chain then why is he not doing it in some while doing it in others? Also, I have been chaining the games whenever I can because that helps me make inferences, sometimes that helps me get the answers right, sometimes it doesnt. So I am not sure what I should do.

I took the test and now it’s time for the writing section. How does it work? Do I have to schedule a specific date? Or can I start whenever I want?

I just finished my first draft of my personal statement and honestly don't know if I even did it right. Does anyone want to swap personal statements to help each other edit/see what/how the other wrote theirs? I wrote mine on my struggles with mental health which I know 7Sage recommends you don't write about, but that is what I think best shows my ability and desire to study law.

Can a claim that's not supported be considered as an intermediate conclusion?

Can intermediate conclusions be attacked (even though they're also a premise?)

Asking due to PT 67 LR Section 4 Q24 - If we accept that If not Larocque, then Student, why would C weaken the argument?

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-67-section-4-question-24/

I took a PT under full on testing conditions this morning and somehow scored 177. I was PTing around ~170 in recent weeks, so I was surprised, and a little confused since my score hasn't budged in a while. Does anyone know if PT 81 was randomly much easier than normal? I poked around old discussion threads, but only found posts about the RC section.

I have been a slow test taker my whole life. I've never completed every question of a standardized test (ACT, GRE, LSAT) and even after two months of dedicated studying and taking 10 full timed LSATs I've never completed a single section (LR, RC, LG/AR) without guessing on 5+ questions in the last minute.

Has anyone else had problems like this and managed to overcome? I know the more I familiarize myself with the material the quicker it should come, but since this has been the case for me forever and I have been a good student, it seems like a bigger issue.

Some helpful tips I've been working on are to skip a question if I'm not understanding and come back, and take the test like I'm trying to get my actual goal score, not a 180 (avoid time sucks basically). Any other pointers?

What size paper is allowed for flex? I've been using legal pad, will that be okay??

Feeling frustrated because I feel like as I practice games, I'm only memorizing those specific games and not getting better at making inferences. Any advice/perspective?

Does anyone have any hints or tips on how to get RRE questions correct? #help

I'm taking the October Flex, so I've been doing simulated Flex PTs every day for the last month or so. But my recent PT scores have been fluctuating a lot and that is kind of freaking me out a bit. My last six PTs (from 76-80) have the following scores: 167,173,165,163,169,164. Granted, some days I might be more in the zone than others, but all this fluctuation is making me really unsure how well I'll handle the actual October test, which is just a couple of days away.

Has anyone else also experienced this kind of fluctuation in their PTs? And what should I do to calm myself/improve my chances in these last few days before the test? Ah man all this uncertainty is really getting on my nerves.

I'm thinking about making a discord server or something. Maybe we can review each other's essays, talk about how to strengthen resume's and target schools. Let me know!

For anyone who sat for October but is also planning to sit for November, how are you allotting the rest of your time? Just finished my test today, and I'm testing for November. But now I have to put more time toward my essays and applications + continue to study. How is everyone else going about this?

On Q23: I almost picked C then changed it to E. (answer is C)

On 8: I have no idea.. (answer is C)

Hello! I'm registered for the November exam. I know that test takers have to register for a particular exam date & time. I was wondering what the time options for the October exam were. Were folks able to sign up for their preferred time? Was the sign-up process easy?

Hey everyone! I am a relatively new user to 7Sage, and I was just hoping to vent some frustrations that I have had with my LSAT progress. Hopefully this is an appropriate forum for such things, and apologies if this post is overly long or disjointed. Throughout my entire LSAT experience, I have felt really alone because I did not have any close friends to get advice from and my school did not help me with any resources. And with there being such a saturation of LSAT prep services available on the market, it was hard for me to wade through it all and select a service. I began my LSAT journey last January, and have had a bit of an inconsistent time with studying since then. I started with the LSAT Trainer, which was recommended to me by a tutor that I reached out to, and I had a good experience working through this book. However, as I said, I did not follow the study schedule that the author Mike Kim recommended (I was working 20 hrs per week and taking an intensive course load), and so I didn’t get as much out of that as I would have liked. I finished the LSAT Trainer in June, and then felt like I was not where I wanted to be. I also made the mistake of taking practice tests untimed while I was reading the LSAT Trainer, which I realize is very stupid now, especially after learning about JY’s blind review method. After that, I looked for a new prep course and came across 7Sage. I also took about two months off to dedicate for job hunting, and when I eventually found a job I turned my focus back to the LSAT.

Now, it is August, and to be honest I was panicking. I felt like I had wasted the past months not taking preparation for the LSAT seriously, even though it means so much to me to go to a good law school. For reference, I have a 3.92 LSAC gpa and have good soft skills as well, but I have unfortunately warped the LSAT into a seemingly impossible mountain to climb, and this has really been negative for my confidence. I recently took a practice test and I got a 145 (with a 166 blind review), and this scared me as well. I feel like I've made every mistake in the book, but I am still determined to beat this test. And deep down I know that I can, but it will take a lot of hard work and WAY more consistent studying.

I have also found that it has been hard for me to stick to a regimented schedule in studying with 7Sage, and I’m not sure if this is the right prep service for me to continue with. This has been totally my fault, and I am not criticizing 7Sage at all as I think it is a wonderful service. I just think that I might benefit from a more structured course with face to face learning with an instructor, like with Blueprint or Princeton Review, even though I’ve heard horrid reviews of the latter. So I suppose my question is this: for someone who has been studying for the LSAT kind of on and off for some time, how did you finally pull the trigger and devote your energy and time to achieving your best possible score? And for people that have been in similar positions as me, how do you not let the stress overwhelm you and grind through the uncertainty? Finally, has anyone had any experience taking the Online Course with BluePrint? I realize this might not be the right place to ask as 7Sage is so popular for many students, but I would appreciate any advice. Perhaps the best thing for me to do is to power through 7Sage and be patient. Thank you!

If you have a rule that says for example either P or L will be selected and you write the rule as /P->L and /L->P, could both L and P be selected?

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

How many Ws on a transcript do you need before alarm bells go off? Do law schools care a lot about Ws? Does anyone have and advice for writing an addenda about Ws?

Hi everyone. Does anyone have tips on consistency scoring so much lower than BR? It's just such a difference in scores and I know I have to do better on timing... but has anyone experienced this? And how did you overcome this? Honestly any advice would be great.

Hi all!

I'm sure there's a lot of you out there who have gone through this and I thought it would be helpful to get some advice.

I have been on my LSAT journey for nearly a year now and am finally starting to score where I need to be but I find my performance on tests is hindered by my anxieties. I tend to tune into the "I'm taking the test right now" which leads me to read stimuli over a couple of times without actually taking anything in, I almost feel paralyzed if that makes sense? It really only happens in LR I'm not sure why.

I usually score between -5 on LR and just took the second LR on PT 73 and scored -9 not counting the 5 questions I left unanswered. Wondering if anyone has any strategies to combat this?

Hello! I am struggling during my PTs without being able to scribble notes next to important parts of the passage. Highlighting is okay, but it gets pretty distracting by the end with so many colors popping out at me. Does anyone have an efficient system (writing it out on paper seems to be taking too long) for marking your passages?

Does anyone have any tips for Must Be True or Necessary/Sufficient Assumption questions? I know they should probably be easy but they are the question types I consistently get wrong and find the hardest to understand

Hi! I’m taking the LSAT flex tomorrow on my monitor that has a built in webcam at the bottom, so when I’m looking at the screen it looks like I’m looking up a bit. Has anyone done this before/run into problems with it? Do you think it’ll be fine?

How do I print individual logic games from the problem sets?
