LG used to be my perfect section. But now that I'm getting to the late 60s of PTs, I'm finding myself missing multiple LG questions.

I'm freaking out right now because I missed -5 on PrepTest 68's LG, and -3 on PrepTest 67's LG. Before, I've consistently been doing -0 or at worst -1. Were these tests just anomalies??? Or are these indicative of future tests to come?

How have you all approached the more modern games differently than those in the early 60s/50s/40s?

I am in need of a tutor to improve my RC score. I simply cannot seem to get a good grasp on RC.

Does anyone offer tutoring? I'm doing great on all other sections, but RC is kicking my ass!! Taking the Sept test in a little over 2 weeks.

Hey Sagers,

This is a question for those of you who have been doing LG for a while. I'm trying to perfect my timing for LG through slight method and strategy changes.

Was hoping to just get some insight on different ways people approach "naked" questions on the LG section. Most notably "must be true", "could be true", etc. that leave a lot of open-ended options. I have a few random strategies I employ for these questions but no systematic approach. I always do all the "if" questions first so I can write out my gameboards and use those to potentially answer naked questions after, and that is helpful. But I also feel there are other strategies I could be employing for the naked questions. I often can get stuck on them because I feel overwhelmed and end up wasting a few precious moments.

I have come to realize that when I feel stuck, best thing is to just start brute forcing through, which is sometimes all you can do, but just wondering if people had other strategies for naked questions? This is just the last leg for me trying to make subtle shifts in strategy so that I can get the LG section in time and hopefully leave myself with a little extra time to do those horrible substitute condition questions :)

I feel confident in my ability to do LG and nearly always score perfect under untimed conditions, but still struggling to get them done in time under timed conditions without rushing at the end.

Thanks for any tips on naked questions if you have them!

Hey All,

Logically, what does "almost all" translate to? It seems that it should be more restrictive than "most", but I'm not completely certain.

Currently looking at PT79.S1.Q18 for anyone who wants context.

Thanks.

Hello 7Sagers!

Within the past few months, I have had a friend and a family member both offer their help in helping me prepare for the LSAT. However, these individuals do not have any knowledge as to what the LSAT tests students on, but they are more than willing to see me reach my goal by offering a different way/method in studying (which would be their help). Do you guys have any advice on how someone who is not taking the test can help another prepare for the LSAT? Thank you so much and I pray the best for you guys!

So I just caught myself today having completely forgot how to approach MSS questions. I forgot they are asking for a conclusion. It just flew out of my mind. Over the last 5 tests I've missed roughly 7 of these questions because of this. I didn't have any plan of attack and just...did them. I don't know how, when, or why this happened but it is a HUGE wake up call. I'm going back through the basics of each question type in the CC right now. How does something like that just happen? They went from being a type of problem I never miss to leaving my mind completely....

Am I really that lazy?!

Hello everyone,

I had a quick question regarding my undergraduate GPA. I am taking a graduate seminar with one of my school's political science professors. I am hoping that the extra exposure will result in a better letter or reccomendation. However, I was concerned about the possible ramifications on my GPA.

Will it be included in calculating my undergraduate GPA? Will it matter all that much to law school admissions?

Thank you!

I am doing great on the other sections, but RC is killing my score. I am constantly missing 15+/- on RC.

I have tried underlining, making short summaries/ LSAT Trainer method... and nothing seems to be working.

What strategies do you use? I'm just not getting it.

is the whole lsat online?

Hi all,

I am pretty consistently getting 4 wrong questions per section for each section on all the PTs I have been working on. When I review the questions I got wrong, I am able to understand why the answer I selected is incorrect and why the correct answer is right. The questions I get wrong are not consistently the same type of question. Anyone have suggestions for the best way to hone my skills/ drill myself in these last few weeks ahead of the September test?

~Thanks in advance!

Is this helpful for scoring into the high 160s, and high 170s?

Hi, I was wondering if most of you add a 5th section to your PTs, and if so do you take those sections from unseen PTs or from old ones?

I was wondering if anyone has heard of Nathan Fox's tutoring? I've heard mixed reviews about the on-site classes. I'm currently debating between signing up for the on-site classes with him and signing up for Ultimate+ with 7Sage. I do work full-time so I'm not sure how much I trust myself to go with online classes-- if I go with Fox I know that I'll have to at least sit there on the weekends. Any Bay area folks have any more insight on this? Any resources you all have used or are using? (Are there any study groups currently for folks in SF?)

Appreciate any input! :)

Hello all! I was just wondering if anyone knows if any of the more extensive admissions courses on 7Sage (like the editing options) would be applicable to people only applying to Canadian schools?

Thanks!!

If you plan on ideally getting into law school in the 2018 school year, is September LSAT your last chance

I'm just starting and I'm wondering if there's a big difference between reading the lessons and watching the videos of the lessons? I'd prefer to read but I don't want to miss any material that isn't covered in the accompanying text. Thanks for the help!

Hi, I'm aiming for September, 2017, and I'm lagging behind on my PTs. Would it be a good idea for me to start taking two PTs a day? (I'm currently taking one everyday.)

I cannot thank the 7sage community enough for the advice of recording oneself. I shot up 8 points after one session of recording myself. It is amazing how much time you can spend on a question without even realizing it, and how little time you can spend on an entire passage or game set-up. Timing is a huge deal and recording yourself is the way to go.

Thank you again 7sage!

Hi all -

Does 7Sage provide answers / video explanations for the LR and RC sections for PTs 1-35? I was hoping to use these for a couple of weeks of practicing full, timed sections.

If you got the questions right in a group of problem set questions, do you still watch all the videos? I am currently only watching the ones I got wrong otherwise it would take me about an hour to do one set of 5 questions, but I don't want to miss out on some valuable advantage by skipping the ones I got correct.

Hello 7Sagers,

So I just finished grading PT 77, and scored a 180 on it. I am absolutely flabbergasted!

Usually grade my tests by hand (I've done probably done over 40 of them over the last few months), and today I randomly decided to use the grader on here. I had to blink a couple times when I read final score... 178. I'm used to scoring in the low 170s, so I was not expecting this. I had to re-grade by hand to make sure it wasn't a mistake.

I think I can attribute this to three things: (1) I had a really light week in terms of studying this week and went out last night, so I went in with a calm mindset (2) tried a new strategy on LR and RC that seemed to help me not get stuck on questions (I utilized something like the 25 in 25 strategy on here, only it was more like 25 in 30 for me) and (3) finally had a perfect games section on a PT. Feel encouraged! I started at a 162 five months ago.

Anyways, my family is sick of hearing me talk about the LSAT, so I thought I'd share this here.

I find myself spending hours researching schools and looking at their median LSATs and class profiles, creating 100 scenarios in my head of how likely i'll be admitted if I improve by x point. and of course I watch every video posted on every school's YouTube channel. I know it's unproductive and I'm just procrastinating studying. :( anyone else does this?

So i have spent majority of my study time doing timed sections. My average LR section is -2 and my average RC is -4. LG is -1/-2.

For some reason when i sit down for a PT my scores go all over the place. I am not confident in my ACs, i misread rules, i rush my reading. Its a disaster.

I was hesitant to take more than 1 pt every 1.5 weeks or so, but i dont think its enough? Thoughts?

I was gearing up for September, but by the looks of my PTs its looking like im gonna have to push to dec

Would anyone say that the prep tests from the years before say 2001 are harder than the newer ones. Harder in terms of the wordings
