I started the core curriculum April 5th. I am scheduled to finish the lessons around the first week of June, at which point I will have just the practice tests to do. I am taking the August 29 test. I took a practice test 3/4 weeks ago and I got a 161 (my target score is 165/166/167) When should I take my next practice test? How often should I be taking one?

Is there any roadmap to be able to take practice tests on 7sage in an lsat flex format? I've been taking my tests with skipping the 2nd LR section, but the 0 in the 2nd LR section is skewing my analytics page. Would love it it was possible to exempt the 2nd LR section for scoring / analytics purposes.

Hi everyone. I have just started studying the core curriculum. I wanted to ask if we are supposed to be marking the Logical Reasoning questions like JY does during his explanations. Also, can we cross out answer choices? Are these features available on the digital version of the test? Thanks for the help.

Hi everyone,

I am confused about how long I should be waiting between doing a game and then repeating that same game. In the foolproof method video, JY seems to imply that you do the game back to back, over and over in the same sitting/day.

Do you prefer to do the same game multiple times in one day or wait 24+ hours before repeating the game?

Thanks!

Hi guys! I hope you and your loved ones are doing well!

I am in the process of finding a tutor, and I was wondering if those who utilized tutoring services during their LSAT studying could share their experiences (positive or negative).

I have some general questions:

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello,

I am a rising junior and plan to take the LSAT my senior year. I am also extremely new to the world of LSAT so I have basically no idea how to formulate a study plan or how my diagnostic should be viewed (if any help I would obviously like to score 170+).

I took the diagnostic on Khan academy and got a 159 (-4 on first Logic Reasoning, -14 on logic games, -7 on Reading Comprehension, and -5 on last Logic Reasoning) -- not sure if that should be converted to -9 on logic reasoning, -14 on logic games, -7 on reading comprehension.

I recognize that I am begining to study seemingly absurdly early but I have a few reasons for this

1 - an abudance of time this summer for obvious reasons

2 - not sure I can devote much time during the academic year.

With all of this said, what should my long-term study guide be. I have no ideas what I am doing right now or how to generally go about this, so any and all feedback is much appreciated!

(Also sorry if these types of questions are redundant or are not welcome here)

Thanks!

Hello, I am looking for a study partner/group to get ready for the LSAT, I am just starting so someone similar would be awesome. I need someone who is definitely open to text messaging and phone convo to really break down this information and someone who is very serious. Send me a message if you are interested.

Hi all, I need your advice on how to better focus and concentrate while I'm studying and taking PTs. I have the CC down, I understand the material, and my timing is good for the most part (I'm able to look at every question in the 35 minutes). However, I have trouble focusing while I'm reading RC passages and LR stimuli and I find myself having to reread because I wasn't paying attention. I have no idea how to make myself concentrate better on the task at hand. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Unfortunatly my circumstances MIGHT not allow me to take it in a 100% quiet environment. I can drowse out a little bit of noise but why risk it? Does LSAT flex allow for earbuds? If not i can wear a hoodie right lol and just hide em

When it comes to a hard question on LR, do you actually just leave it blank and move on, or do you take an educated guess and flag it? if you do leave it blank, how do you decide when to skip? After reading through a certain amount of times or simply just feeling confused after reading the stimulus.

Side note: does anyone know if you can actually flag questions on the real LSAT? Or is that just a feature of the we have on 7sage

Thanks in advance!

I am super frustrated with this. Being able to do well on BR and not timed. I manage to miss a whole game timed and get it all right under BR..

I am also doing better on other sections during BR (obviously) but buy a LOT in comparison to timed. Any advice on how to close this gap at all? Is it possible?

Hi,

For LSAT Flex takers, does anyone know if you are allowed to have Advil or Ibuprofen on your desk? Not a whole can but just one pill in case of headache etc. I can't find anything about medications on either the list of allowed items or the list of prohibited items.

Thank you!!

Hello,

I keep getting these high priority questions wrong regardless of how much out of the five bubbles are filled in on the difficulty level. Are these high priority questions curveballs? Are mastering these type of questions the path to getting a 170+?

I don't know if anyone here can help me out with this, but it's something that has been nagging me since I took the LSAT in November. I went to a small liberal arts school that refuses to engage in college rankings and grade inflation. The average graduating GPA is around 3.2, and it has been this way for over 25 years. In that same span of time only 8 students have graduated with a 4.0.

My GPA is 3.4 (undergrad, not CAS), with my grades improving year to year (I received academic commendations during my Junior and Senior year). I'm genuinely proud of my GPA within context, but lurking certain admissions forums I get scared by the narrative that admissions officials only care about numbers in relation to averages. Can I trust admissions officials to take where I went to undergrad into account while considering my application? I know in theory I probably should, but I also have some doubts. I feel bad saying this, but I feel very confident I would have gotten at least a 3.9 at most other schools. I took 3 summer courses at an elite university before my Junior year and got A's with less effort than I needed to put in at my undergrad institution.

I hope this post doesn't across as me bragging or making excuses. I would really appreciate any input at this point honestly. I think the T-14 or bust mentality is toxic, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't matter to me at all. My LSAT is 174.

Thanks so much for any help.

TLDR: Can 7sage please create 3 Section LSAT Prep Tests for students who are currently now prepping for the LSAT-Flex?

Since the format of the new exam is different in that we do 3 back-to-back sections, rather than 2 sections, break, 2 sections, I am sure many of us are trying to adjust our practice test setup to mimic actual testing conditions.

Currently, our options to do so are either to

3 Section LSATs would be really, really helpful. Thank you!

So i am taking the lsat in june, and am right now getting perfect on the games and roughly -3-5 on Logical Reasoning. I just started studying reading comprehension now and did 4 sections in the last 4 days, every section i got -6-7 on. Is there any legit advice to get this into the -2-4 range before June? Just a lot of repetition and doing a reading comp section everyday? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I put in a twelve week window with 20 hours and it reverts back to 68.44 hours per week. That's mind-boggling. I can't study for that long every week, I have a job. How can you make it so gives you a twelve week plan @ 20 hours per week? If someone could guide me that would be great. I want to upgrade to the Ultimate+ version but this is holding me back. If that doesn't work could someone email me a screenshot of their 12week 20hour plan? Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the heavy topic while most of you are stressed, but if anyone has advice for me, I would appreciate it. If you feel uncomfortable with mental health, I would stop reading here :) Thank you for clicking on the post anyways.

I have struggled with depression for a few years. A couple of weeks before COVID, I discovered a study routine that works for me (for university and LSAT) after months of figuring things out. Then, the pandemic hit and I was confined to a tiny apartment with my family. I am having such a hard time focusing, let alone motivating myself to study. I don't even have my own desk here (I used to live in a dorm). Who knew not being able to go to a cafe or library would be this devastating?? Plus, I'm always tired and I just feel... burnt out. The last two weeks have consisted of me playing Stardew Valley while internally stressing about the LSAT, telling myself that I was just giving myself a break. This week, the pressure hit hard and I have tried to study, but I just... don't want to?

I took the LSAT last year and did miserably because my mental health was not great and I did not study much. However, this year, I WAS motivated and now... I'm just not. I'm signed for the July test, but honestly, I just feel so unprepared (hitting high 150s, when my goal is 165+) and the stress is getting to me. I feel like I can't even explain to my parents that I want to reschedule because I "used my depression card" last year to explain my score and I feel like I can't use the same "excuse" this time because they'll think I haven't learned from my past mistakes. So, I know some people will say to reschedule, but that's just not an option for me.

I know COVID is impacting a lot of people right now, with some losing their jobs and family members... it's hard on anyone. So if you are struggling, I feel for you.

Any tips, even if you don't struggle with depression, with motivation, concentrating, etc. would be appreciated.

Hope everyone stays healthy and happy.

Thanks for reading this long post :)

Hi! I have a question about flaw and weaken type Qs on LR.

So, if i remember correctly, JY said in one of his lessons that the arguments for flaw type questions might have several unstated assumptions but it doesn't necessarily mean that all those assumptions could be classified as flaws.

Besides the common flaws that he listed for us in his lesson (ex. red herring fallacy, opinion vs fact etc.), how can we decide which assumptions count or does not count as flaws?

This also lead me to question the difference between weakening and flaw type Qs: could the assumptions that do not count as flaws in flaw questions be used to weaken such arguments should they be used in weaken type questions?

I know this all sounds kind of confusing but any opinion on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Backpacker is planning to hike in a national forest. She will hike three or more of the following seven trails: Laurel, Maple, Oak, Poplar, Spruce, Tupelo, and Willow. She will not hike on any other trails. The choice of trails for her hike is constrained by the following conditions:

If she hikes Laurel, she must also hike Oak and Poplar.

If she hikes Tupelo, she must also hike Spruce and Willow.

If she hikes Willow, she can hike neither Maple nor Oak.

End of reading passage.

Can anyone explain why C would be incorrect, and why A would instead be the correct AC?

Do we just take the test at our time? After meeting tech requirements we dont need to do anything in advance?

Hi,

I just completed PrepTest 75 on the LSAC site and I want to see the explanations for the answers I got wrong and questions I was iffy about here on 7sage, do I need to fake take it on here to get to those or is there a way I can mark myself as having completed the Jun 2015 test and then review?

Essentially, what is the fastest way for me to get to the review?

Thanks.

Does anyone have tips for taking the LSAT flex? Before, I would take practice tests on my tablet, and now that I moved to taking tests on my computer, my RC score dropped. Highlighting really helped me on the tablet, but highlighting is much slower on a laptop. Does anyone have any advice?
