LG Help

Is it better to nail one section of LG before moving onto the next? Or continue to move forward and come back and review?

Hi guys,

I am registered for the July 13th LSAT. (Today is May 27th). I am contemplating whether or not I should invest into the 7Sage course. According to the Study schedule generator, I would have to work 134 hours per week. There is a total of 168 hours per week. Assuming I sleep 7 hours per day that gives me 112 hours per week. Which seems impossible. However, I have been self-studying since August of 2019 and my score increased from my cold diagnostic of 147 to my most recent being a 160. I have also did the powerscore bibles on logical reasoning and logic games. I want to maximize my score as much as I can and I find the 7Sage course breakdown one that I could productively follow rather then just doing preptest over and over and not seeing much improvement.

Would it be a good idea/possible for me to finish the entire course by July 13th given that I have a moderately advanced understanding of most topics in the course but I feel relearning them in a different way will help me become more effective at the LSAT. Or is that just wishful thinking and I should just continue doing preptests and reviewing. Moving my test date is something I do not want to do as I am planning to apply to Canadian law schools for the fall of 2021 which opens up this coming summer.

Hey everybody,

I'm scheduled to write the LSAT in July, and so far, prep has been okay. LR is relatively consistent, and LG has been my best section. However, like many others, I seem to fluctuate wildly in RC; in short, it is my wild card. So far, the method I use is after reading every paragraph in a passage, I write a couple of words down on a piece of paper as a "low-res" summary, and try to link all of them up after reading the entire passage. Sometimes this seems to work well, but other times (especially on dense and harder to understand passages) this strategy seems to divert my attention away from internalizing what I am reading and instead focusing on what the low res summary should be. For those that score consistently high on reading comp, do you write down the summaries or juggle it in your mind? I would really appreciate some advice on how you approach each passage, as this section is really kicking my a$$. Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering if it's necessary to buy the LSAC 1year Prep Plus subscription to use 7sage (I'm currently still doing the 7sage free trial)? I already bought the most recent 10 Actuals book from LSAC so I have prep tests 72-81- is that enough or do I need to buy the subscription to benefit from 7sage?

Thanks!

With the deadline for the July test approaching in a few days... would it be best to take the July test as most likely Flex, or wait until August? I talked to a rep today about another topic and she mentioned that every single state has to be opened to go back to normal testing- all or nothing. I would love to hear from those who took Flex and the pros and cons!

PT4.S4.Q23-24

These were so hard.

I got number 23 right at first, but wrong after a blind review. I don't understand why answer choice D is not a necessary assumption. Isn't it important that the brains of twins aren't any more likely to suffer from schizophrenia than a non-twin brain? Shouldn't that be of utmost important to ensure the conclusion about brains in general is valid?

But more confusing to me was 24. How in the heck can we find most of the answers to be "could be true" based on the stimulus? There is no mention of any of the answer choices, like (B) being able to control it with medication, but not cure it. Where is that even implied in the stimulus? Or susceptibility in answer (A). I can't find a logical string that ties these answers together.

Is there a logic notation primer video in the syllabus? I am trying to touch up on specific aspects of the LR section but cannot understand what the 7sage method is trying to convey when items like the below are written.

A -> B

I just started studying again and I was wondering if there’s a way we can do LG 1-35 with the digital format? If not, the only way is to go through the PTs and just do the games?

Hello everyone!

Joined 7Sage recently and I had a question I would appreciate some advice on. I’m currently in the fourth year of law school (the semester is yet to commence) in India and I wanted to take the LSAT so I can enroll in a T-14 university. The Indian undergraduate degree is a five-year program, so I’ll be eligible to seek admission into law school only from 2022.

Given this situation, I would appreciate it if anyone well-versed with the admissions process could tell me the right time to sit for the LSAT. Currently, I’m planning to take the test in January 2021, but considering that I won’t be free till mid-2022, is this a good decision?

Hello all,

I feel like my LR is getting worse, and I'm thinking about whether I should look for an online tutor.

My goal is to get my LR down to -1/-2 consistently, but in reality I average around -5.

My LR performance during a full 5-section-PT is also worse than when I do them as a timed drill.

I am really curious to hear from those who have worked/been working with a tutor for LR.

What was your experience like? Did you see any benefits/results?

Do you recommend any tutor specifically? Do you have suggestions on who I should maybe avoid (you can pm me!!)?

And any general LR tips are also very much appreciated!

Hey Team!

I studied for the LSAT religiously in 2016 via 7Sage, and took the December 2016 LSAT (scored a 172). I ended up not getting into my top choice, and consequently changed plans (completed an M.A. instead).

That said, I'm planning on retaking the LSAT this July with the hopes of bumping my score up a few points. Has anything notable changed in the past four years that I need to be aware of? E.g., different question types, different question/section trends, etc.

Thanks!

I just was wondering if July LSAT Flex will count for fall 2020 admission? I took the may LSAT last Tuesday. I felt okay about it, however I don't want my score to be below what I need it to be. If I do sign up for July will it even count for fall admission?

We’re doing another round of early-bird enrollment for our Law School Explained courses.

This time, enrollment will be open for one week, from Monday, June 1 to Sunday, June 7, for the following courses:

  • Criminal Law Explained, $14
  • Tort Law Explained, $14
  • Property Law Explained, $29
  • All courses are still in progress, and the price differences partially reflect the extent of their development. Cumulatively, we’ve produced over three dozen video lessons and over twelve hours of audio lessons, and we’re working around the clock to add more. New lessons will automatically appear in your course as we complete them. We expect to finish developing these courses later this year.

    Many of you might not be ready to divert your attention from the LSAT, so rolled into this launch is an extra-long access time of 24 months. This way, you can be reasonably sure that you’ll still get to use the course when you’re ready for it, and that it will be complete by the time you do.

    Recap:

  • Early-bird access to Criminal, Tort, and Property Law Explained
  • On sale from Monday, June 1 to Sunday, June 7 for $29 and $14
  • 24 months of access
  • Enroll here
  • After June 7, enrollment will be closed until we complete more content.

    Hi,

    Since the new LSAT is digital, plus the LSAT Flex being administered on your own computer, would you recommend printing out the practice tests and taking them that way or taking them from the computer to get used to it? Or do you think there is not much of a difference? (Personally, I prefer printing them out but not sure if that will hurt me in the long run!)

    Thank you!

    Flaw questions give me hell. I cannot initially grasp the type of flaw even though I know there is a flaw somewhere. And when I go to the answer choices, the multitude of trap answers consume time.

    Hi all,

    Quick question regarding the new 7Sage pricing/bundles LSAT study courses. I see it's required to have LSAC's LSAT Prep Plus. I haven't purchased LSAT Prep Plus through LSAC yet, and plan to buy the month by month 7Sage bundle with Prep Plus.

    How does your LSAC account know you've purchased the LSAT Prep Plus through 7Sage? In checkout it doesn't seem like there's an option to enter your LSAC account info, etc. Thanks in advance for any clarification!
