I've done a few drills on other platforms before coming over to 7Sage and I was wondering if there was a way for me to view 7Sage's explanation of the question without having taken the test or PT? Is there a page that outlines all of their explanations of some sort? I feel like I remember something similar being on the old website, but I could be mistaken. Thank you for the help!
Can correct answer choices for necessary questions be perspective claims? I remember the lessons mentioning that they often aren't but I wanted to clarify!
Any insight is appreciated, thank you!
Do you try to minimize subvocalization (hearing each word in your head) when reading RC passages? Why/why not?
Basically, I bought 7Sage after the June LSAT to try to score 170+ in Sept. I haven't really seen any score increases and while I understand that improvement gets harder the higher the score is, I'm a bit lost in terms of what else I could do beyond just drill more. At this point I'm just hoping to get lucky since my June score was in the 170 range they give lol. Any advice on how to break this wall?
Hello LSAT internet, I have been scoring consistently around the low 160s, last 3 PTs were 164/163/163 with blind review scores in the low 170s (170/172/174)
With a few weeks to the September test, what's the best strategy to try and close that gap?
I use my WAJ religiously, and take a few hours after I've blind reviewed to go over questions I struggled with or got wrong.
Doing about -4 on LR and -5 on RC, but LR is better in timed individual sections -2/-3
TIA!!!
I'm taking the August LSAT. I am consistently PTing in the high 160s. I have made substantial improvements over my journey even though I have only been studying for around four months. This whole law school thing has been a new goal for me, I didn't consider it until last winter and I'm graduating in May. However, I want to succeed - like really succeed. I want to get into a law school, I want to prove that I can do well on this test, I want to prove to myself that I'm capable of putting my mind to something, but I can't seem to get higher than a 169. I know I'm not totally prepared for this test. I know not all the concepts are totally solid for me. But I've been successfully intuiting a lot of the harder questions. I feel like I'm fast enough at the other questions that I can give myself enough time to really handle the others. I'm a good test taker. Still, I feel like all this effort is pointless. I'm disappointed. I worry that if I retake the test later on, I'll be even less focused on studying because of college and that'll hurt my score even more. Most of the mistakes I'm making are on a select few hard questions, but it's still so demoralizing not being perfect. I don't know at this point. Any advice?
I'm getting all kinds of mixed information when I look this up, so I apologize if this is common knowledge I'm just missing somewhere. But when you take the test in-person, does section 2 start immediately after section 1? And the same for 3 and 4?
Basically, do you get 60 seconds to reset or do you just roll immediately through?
This makes a huge difference in how I prepare...
I tend to have a very high accuracy rate on main point questions whereas I often miss primary purpose ones. Even on the same stimulus, I can get the main point correct and the primary purpose wrong. I feel like the two question types test similar skills, so I'm not really sure why this keeps happening. Any insight would be much appreciated :)
I've been noticing a consistent problem during my LR practice. I usually am able to narrow the answer choices down to two, but I end up picking the wrong one. It's frustrating because I feel like I have that foundation to rule out the clearly wrong options, but I just can't seem to choose the correct one between the final two.
Has anyone else struggled with this? What strategies helped you and is there a way to train this skill specifically?
Any advice, drills, or thought processes you used would be SO SUPER appreciated!
It is exactly one week until I take my LSAT, any tips on how to go confidently into the exam? I am doing well but I am not sure what to do with this last week, keep studying? Chillax?
I know it's common for beginners to (mistakenly) think there are multiple correct answers to a question, but I just can't see how there's only one correct answer in this case. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Question: PT114.S2.Q9
Complete stimulus: During the three months before and the three months after a major earthquake in California, students at a college there happened to be keeping a record of their dreams. After experiencing the earthquake, half of the students reported dreaming about earthquakes. During the same six months, a group of college students in Ontario who had never experienced an earthquake also recorded their dreams. Almost none of the students in Ontario reported dreaming about earthquakes. So it is clear that experiencing an earthquake can cause people to dream about earthquakes.
Complete question stem: Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
Complete answer choices:
A: Before the California earthquake, no more of the students in California than of those in Ontario recorded dreams about earthquakes.
B: The students in California were members of a class studying dreams and dream recollection, but the students in Ontario were not.
C: Before they started keeping records of their dreams, many of the students in California had experienced at least one earthquake.
D: The students in Ontario reported having more dreams overall, per student, than the students in California did.
E: The students in Ontario who reported having dreams about earthquakes recorded the dreams as having occurred after the California earthquake.
Answer choice A is marked as correct, and answer choice D is marked as incorrect.
My reasoning: Answer choice D strengthens the argument by eliminating an alternate explanation: California students had more dreams about earthquakes because they have more dreams in general. Therefore, an earthquake occurring in California would not be the reason why half of the students reported having dreams about earthquakes.
Thanks for the help!
Hi all! I wanted to come on and share that my LSAT journey has not been linear but have been seeing slow improvement. For context, I took the Nov. 2023 LSAT with wishy-washy studying to get a 148. I cancelled that score and have been on and off studying since then. I have finally gotten up to the 160s with average PTs being in the high 150s. While I do not want to discount the progress I have made, I cannot discard the fact that my progress has been slow and slower than I would like it to be. I know this is a hard test, but I know that it can be learnable. I am going average -4 on LR and average -10 on RC. I just recently got to a 160 on my recent PT last week. LR feels naturally more intuitive compared to RC, as I find myself running out of time on RC. While, I recognize the patterns in RC and consider myself good at the big picture questions, I struggle with implied and detail oriented questions. I guess I am just looking for advice on how people have improved from this place and what helped them quickly get out of this slump. As my goal would be to hit the 170s in the next few months. Happy to share more info., if its helpful. Thanks!
Is there a way to reset the curriculum so that I can go through and answer questions with the lessons again? Right now, I can't go to retake a question without seeing the answer first.
I live about 10 minutes away from UNCC in Charlotte, NC. Looking for a study partner!
when drilling, can I create a copy like on the old 7sage website
(extreme petty alert), but sad to see my 770+ discussion karma from old 7sage site not follow me here. Great website though! d
Pretty much understand everything except one thing, please help me 7Sage wizards
Most opera singers who add demanding roles to their repertoires at a young age lose their voices early. It has been said that this is because their voices have not yet matured and hence lack the power for such roles. But young singers with great vocal power are the most likely to ruin their voices. The real problem is that most young singers lack the technical training necessary to avoid straining their vocal cords—especially when using their full vocal strength. Such misuse of the cords inevitably leads to a truncated singing career.
E)Most young opera singers who sing demanding roles strain their vocal cords
Young Opera singers -most> loose voice
Young Opera singers -most> lack tech training to avoid loosing voice
Isn’t the valid inference
A most B
A most C
___
A some C ???
I thought A most C was invalid…..
This might be a dumb question but do wee need a designated time to complete the argumentative writing like with the LSAT? Or can I go on to complete it anytime after it opens? Are there designated hours or only weekdays?
What is the purpose of a Blind Review? Why do they suggest that I review the right questions? Example- They circle 5/6 answers for Blind Review. I assumed I got those questions wrong. So I went against my better judgment and chose other answers that I knew intuitively were wrong. Only to get them wrong in the blind review. Am I missing something?
I felt like I did much better with RC before starting to train. My diagnostic in RC was -5 vs. between -8 and -10 now.
My LR is, on the whole, much much better than before I started studying, but my gains in score have been marginal because my RC has dropped off.
In studying for LR, I realized that reading/translation/repetition seemed to help me the most, and I'd love to tackle a similar strategy for RC, but just doing RC passages over and over with Low Res summaries isn't helping me a whole lot. Still missing one or two per passage that have to do with something super specific I glazed over on my readthrough. I feel like I struggle with balancing reading for detail and reading for structure/concepts -- it's often I get one or the other on a first read (all I have time for obviously).
Any tips for making RC improvement more manageable?
You now have the ability to choose which PrepTests, Sections, and Drills power your Analytics!
Dear Tutor, I am a little confused about when to move a "no" or negative indicator to the left in order to apply the "negate the necessary" rule. For example, I understand that " No Cats are Dogs can be diagrammed as such Cat-->/Dog Or Dog-->/Cat. However, what if there is a No on both sides? For example, Prep Test 111 Section 3 Question 18 Answer Choice: (B) reads "No people who understand their musical roots will be in the audience if the audience will not be treated to a good show." I almost diagrammed this by moving the "no" in the sufficient condition to the necessary condition, which would have made B correct. So, if there is a "no" or negative indicator on both sides, it is best to leave it be?
I am having trouble determining how/if it is using my drill results in my recommended drills. It says on the "drill by tag" page that it looks at PT results. However after a drill you can toggle "dont use in priority calculations." Does it or does it not use drill results when determining needs for practice? The total questions answered right/wrong are from PTs only, or drills as well?
Thanks!
just got eye surgery and would be really helpful if I don't need to stare at the screen. #help
