Hello!! Still in foundations and wanted to know whether people were taking notes or not? i am trying to tae some quick ones on lawgic and stuff but know i wont go back and read them and it seems to be taking up so much of my study time. Let me know any thoughts/what you guys do! Thank you!!!
Hi. I wasted my first two LSAT attempts in 2024. was pting high 170s before my 3rd attempt, and got a 172. I decided to retake to see if I could hit the median of my dream school. I took 3 more pts before the next exam, and once again saw 170s, maybe just a bit lower than it had been before attempt #3 (but still above 172). when I retook for a 4th time I got the exact same score (172). I'm getting some conflicting information about whether to retake, if it's worth it admissions-wise. My GPA is at the median of the school. I havent been studying since I sat for the most recent exam, June 5th. Thank you for your thoughts!
You know how every PT question has a comments/discussion thread attached to it? It'd be nice to have that same functionality for the daily Logic Links game. It'd be nice to have daily versions of the other games as well (makes me more likely to play when I know I won't get repeat content, makes each day's puzzle/game a shared event, etc).
I made a post about this June 28th Logic Links puzzle and realized it would've been easier to just leave a comment the way I normally would if this were a challenging PT question!
I think it could be useful to add space repetition drills for some things. The two I can think of off the top of my head are:
the "indicator words" (sufficient, necessary, negate-sufficient, negate-necessary)
identifying question types
I did some SR myself with flashcards, but the word set is limited as I just picked from the most common ones, and the ID question types is hard to do physically without a lot of work. Being able to easily and effortlessly id indicator words and id question types is such a hack to speeding up and removing analysis exhaustion on the small things.
I recently did https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/sufficient-assumption-questions/skill-builder-logical-reasoning-question-stems-first-half and wish I could just hit 20-30 of these a every other day or so until its second nature.
Quick question: are LOR required to be connected to your undergrad instructors? I am able to get LOR, but from attorneys and managing partners in my Law Firm. If I need to get these from my previous instructors however, this may prove slightly challenging.
Hello I'm looking for a tutor to get me to a 155. My last LSAT was a 146. Im looking to retake it in November. Im not looking for a miracle. Minimum I need to make a 150.
Was anyone else tripped up trying to categorize "The keycard is valid, or the door stays shut."?
This is an exclusive Or yes? So we can't have the keycard be valid with a shut door, it's got to be one or the other. I translated the original statement into:
if the keycard is valid, the door must be open
if the keycard is invalid...? we only know if the keycard is valid
If the door is shut, then the keycard must be invalid
🚨 Spoiler alert if you haven't solved this puzzle yet!! This statement is part of the "DOOR OPENS → KEYCARD IS VALID" group
I see that DOOR OPENS → KEYCARD IS VALID = if the keycard is invalid, the door is shut.
But I thought I was doing something correct by nullifying that as an option in #2 because it negates the sufficient? And I'm not clear on why #1 Door Shut → Invalid Key and/or its contrapositive Valid Key → Door Open isn't the answer.
Hi, my name is Haley! I'm taking the LSAT in October and aiming for the mid- to high-160s. I'd love to find a study group or buddy in Austin to study together and hold each other accountable!

Hey everyone looking for some tips with this issue:
So recently on my timed full-length sections I have been doing very well and have been scoring -1 to -3 for both LR and RC. But then on my PTs I fall apart and score way worse like -3 to -8
Its getting pretty frustrating because how can I go from getting -1 on 3 LR sections in a row to -7 when its a on a PT
What are ways to improve 1. stamina and 2. anxiety and stress. I think my main issue is that I feel so much pressure to score well on my PTS that I overthink and generally just freeze up.
Thanks for the help and advice!
Hey guys,
I’ve been studying for a month, looking to test in September. My cold diagnostic was 164, and my last PT two weeks ago (PT157) was 165, so after a week of drilling and seeing -2 and -3 on sections, I was bothered to just finish PT151 with a 159. Whereas on my diagnostic I got -4 on RC and -6 on LR, I saw -7, -8, and -3 on all three LR sections. How do I deal with this variance? Should I drill more intensely? Thanks for any help.
Hi all,
I just took my LSAT argumentative writing (a little late...), but noticed that during the exam, my computer was underlining misspelled words and giving me suggestions to edit them.
I didn't even think to turn this off before the test. I have never used Grammarly or any writing tools, so I didn't even think to disable anything.
Did this happen to anyone else? What happened? Help!
Hi everybody, I was wondering if anybody knew the direct effects of changing how many days you study and how many hours/day you plan on studying. Will it be the same material each day, just a more condensed version for fewer hrs/day or expanded for more hrs/day? Will it change how/what you are studying day-by-day?
In person would be awesome, but I'm also down to virtual study with anyone who can accommodate Pacific time. I've broken into the 170s and want to stay there and push myself higher before Aug/Sept. Let's study!
Can someone give an example of a question or question stem when the correct answer choice is a principle that would strengthen the argument versus a question or question stem when the correct answer choice is a principle that the argument demonstrates? IDK if these are two different question types but I seem to get confused on these and stress myself out over the answer choices.
Hi all, after taking PT 128, I am wondering whether the earlier tests (120s) are as representative of/difficult as the actual LSAT compared to the newest tests (140-150s). Does anyone have any knowledge about this?
Hi all, I just got a 175 on PT 128. While I am so happy with this result, there is also a bit of confusion. For context, I was studying and PTing a lot earlier in the year from January to April before taking the April LSAT, and was averaging around 166/167 near the end of the studying. Then I had a bit of a break and came back to drilling, and just now took my first PT since then. I was surprised to get this score, and even more surprised to get a blind review of 180 given my avg PT score from before. I am wondering if the earlier PTs (120-130) are different in difficulty from the newer ones (140-159)? Do the emphasize different problem types more?
Essentially, I am wondering how I should make sense of this higher score now, and, through I obviously need to take more PTs to get a better grasp of my current skill set, whether scores for these older PTs tend to translate to the current administrations of the LSAT.
Does anyone have any advice on how to reconnect with professors years out of college?
I did not keep in touch with my professors and would like to get in touch with them again as someone 5+ years out of undergrad.
Hey! Can anyone find a Question Example Or a few question examples exemplifying this flaw: your argument fails, so my argument wins— the flaw is bc one conclusion fails the opposite conclusion must be true … trying to recall a question I’ve done with that flaw can’t remember one
I’m looking for a tutor to work with once or twice a week leading up to the November LSAT. This is my fourth attempt. I started with a 144 with zero prep, got a 145 three months later, and just scored a 146 this June after six months of solo drilling. I’ve been humbled by this test and realize I need a new strategy. My target range is 150 to 155 max. As a disabled veteran, my funding is secure, so I just need to hit the threshold for admission rather than chasing scholarship points.
I love checking in on my analytics. It helps me dial out of the last drill or PT or section I did and instead focus on the big picture. One issue: it is very hard sometimes to see the trend of my practice. I would love to be able to see that although I may have had a few bad drills recently, overall, my PT equivalent score is improving. Of course, this would have to come with a warning of some kind not to rely to heavily on the trend line as there is more than just the raw numbers that should define someone’s progress/confidence, this would just help mine a lot!
Hi! I want to preface this by saying I know that this is a good problem to have, and I'm super grateful to 7sage and those who have helped me along the way :)
I feel like I have been stuck in a plateau for the last month or so, and don't know what to do. Any advice is appreciated! I am aiming for a 175 on the August test, but my PTs scores over the last month have not really been moving. 172 (May 31) -> 173 (June 8) -> 177 (June 14) -> 172 (June 21) -> 173 (June 24) -> 173 (June 27). I feel like it's not really a question of time since I am left with a bit of time at the end of each section (am I rushing too much?). I review all of my mistakes thoroughly and drill my priority question types. What else can I do? Would a session with a tutor help?
Title; On 7sage, it is fairly simple, but occasionally I take practice tests on LawHub just so everything is exactly the same as test day, and I have been unable to find a submit button. Did they remove it, and if so, does anyone have any idea why?
Anyone have a handy cheat sheet/master list for the quantifiers ("some," most," "all," "few," etc), what they imply, their negations, and valid and invalid arguments that can be made with them (I.e All before most is invalid)?? Having all this out on one page would be super helpful for me so just thought I'd ask.
Hi! I'm a new user, and I'm trying to navigate the website. I have the study plan on my home interface, but I don't necessarily know how to use it because I already have a system of my own and know how I use it. I have official scores of 131 and 140, and my goal is in the 165+ range. If anyone can gimme tips or advice, I would truly appreciate it. I have my review log, spreadsheet, traps and fixes.
