Has anyone read the book LR Perfection? Any thoughts and whether it is worth reading through it before the June test? Thanks!
So my April LSAT score was a bust, so going to gear up to take it in June. Any recommendations for a 6 week study sprint? My best section is Logic Games so truly going to be my last time to take the test with the best conditions possible. I studied a couple hours 6 days a week from February - April (with tutoring) and was pretty consistently scoring above what I got on the April test. Think I got tripped up just through general test-day anxiety (and what I thought was a super difficult RC section). Should I just try to take as many PTs as possible the next 6 weeks? Should I do more drills? Go back to some of the basics? Little lost here.
Truly so frustrated by my April score and June will be unfortunately my 4th time taking the test, so any words of wisdom or success stories to make me feel some hope would be lovely.
I accidentally submitted my LSAT writing before I had the chance to delete my notes (pros, cons, etc) and so now my notes are at the top and my actual essay is at the bottom of the submission ... what should I do????
How do I use 7sage when doing drills for logical reasoning and reading comprehension so that I am not practicing questions that how up on the 7sage practice tests?
Hi all,
I just got a 7sage subscription, and I am wondering how to mix in drills with the lessons. Will it automatically have drills mixed in with lessons, or do I need to choose when to do drills along with lessons. Thanks!
Why is E the correct answer? I said C
Hello 7SAGERS,
I have a question and it could be something others are thinking. My last time taking the exam was my 4th. One of my exams had a tech issue but it was counted even though I couldn't finish. I've been trying to do better with my study even thought I work two jobs, one full one P/T. I wanted to start law school in Fall 2024.
With only one more chance to take the exam this calendar year, and two more available over lifetime -- what would you do? I seriously want to change my career course and it feels like timing is everything but I also know that I need money to attend law school and that translates to your score. I have been seriously stressed about this. LG hasn't been my strong suit so I know I could wait until Aug or Fall to take it again, but that means applying for 2025 cycle and I've already put in apps for Fall 2024. I'm nervous that even if my last score is decent what if the schools have run out of funds for scholarship? ?And if I didn't do well, I am not sure if I should withdraw all of my apps or just wait for their decision - but I don't know if you can decline if you're accepted but you don't receive scholarships??
I'm seriously stressed about all of this. Can anyone inform on these questions I have? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am an international applicant currently doing my bachelors at the university of Edinburgh (studying German&Philosophy). I am planning on taking the August 2024 LSAT. So far I’ve only done the old PT, scoring around 170. Would like to find someone to go through the new format PT together :) Feel free to drop me a message.
Also I have a small question. I am finishing my bachelors degree in June/July 2025 and hoping to attend the 2025 fall JD class. Is it too late/too early to take the August 2024 LSAT? Thanks for any information.
Hi I was curious if using indicator words was the best way to identify these or if there was another general way?
Is memorizing the words the only way to achieve this or is there a more general approach that can be taken?
Hello, I have been studying for a little over a year for the exam my first ever practice test was 130 and over time, I have gotten myself to score consistently at 150, but I can't seem to get above that no matter how much I study or practice. Logic games were my worst section, so I am waiting till August to write. Logical reasoning is my best section and I usually get about 15-18 correct but I have been seeing fluctuations in those scores when I do practice test sections on powerscore. My reading comprehension, I get anywhere from 12-16 usually correct so it's not terrible, but there's room for improvement in both of these sections. I have already done private tutoring through 7sage it was very expensive and did not improve my score. I am starting to feel a bit helpless and feel like I have improved to my maximum potential on this exam and I need some advice.I try and study about ten hours a week doing drills and reading my books I always blind review and watch the explanation videos.I have been staying away from practice tests mainly doing drills and timed sections
I want to make sure that i'm not drilling with any of the recent 20 or so tests. Is that how 7sage has set this up? Also another discussion said the drills are from pts 1-45, but how does this translate to the prep test numbers in the 100s on 7sage?

Don’t think I’ve ever both looked forward and dreaded anything this much in my life, and I HAVE waited for some big darn decisions.
Hey everyone, @KevinLin7Sage did an internal presentation for 7Sage Tutors on the difference between CC v1 and v2. I thought it was such a good presentation that I wanted to share it with everyone. So, if you've wondered what the differences are between CC v1 and v2:
Hello,
I'm trying to understand why answer choice (a) for this question is incorrect.
I chose answer choice A and am struggling to understand why it's wrong. I understand why D is correct, but I can't get comfortable with ruling out A, and I went back and forth between the two for a while before deciding on A. The tutor in this video said that the issue lies with "all relevant respects", saying that we have no relevant connections to an anteater. However, I would think that we are talking in the frame of mammals - "all species that are similar in all relevant respects" = mammals, all of which, except for the anteater, dream. So, facts about one species of animal (spiny anteater, the specific facts being about their brain size) provide confirmation for hypotheses about all species that are similar in all relevant respects (mammals, the hypothesis being the parasitic connection hypothesis) to the particular species in question (again, spiny anteater). Does anyone have any additional thoughts on why this is wrong / other methods of ruling it out?

This might sound lame... but i started my drill tests !! however, i am confused whether we just click on the x mark to select the right answer or x out all wrong answers ? leaving one right answer !please help.
Feeling discouraged and frustrated, but I know this is a hard test and meant to play with you. My biggest area of struggle was always LR (and still is). I'm still pretty new here, and since starting 7sage I thought I was finally starting to grasp the concepts and tricks to handle LR questions. I took my first preptest to see how I'd do, and got a 139. I know I am able to do much better, but I dont know what I'm doing wrong, if im second guessing myself or simply overthinking each question. Any tips on how to handle LR? Anyone else deal with the same issue? Will I be able to master LR by the time my August LSAT comes around?
Study buddy and need help with logic games. Can anyone meet?
Hello everyone!
So I've taken three prep tests -- two I did all four sections and another I just did 3/4 sections. My current scores have been 141 (all four sections), 148 (all four sections), and 145 (three sections). I've noticed that on all three tests I get the lower difficulty questions right but I miss most if not all the harder difficulty questions. So I'm not sure how I should approach my studying. Should I just drill non-stop the harder difficulty questions? Should I prioritize the question types I get wrong most often according to the PrepTest analytics? Any advice would be very much appreciated!
Hiii comrades! Wondering if anyone wants to collaborate on editing/proofing personal statements. I am currently in the process of drafting mine, and am thinking how helpful it would be to be able to share it with a few people and get feedback as I go. In my mind I am picturing a sort of book club, where maybe each week we rotate "partners". With your partner of the week, you would share a google doc version of your draft so far, and according to preference, either just make comments/edits on the doc, or even do like a FaceTime/zoom session where you could discuss as you read each others/brainstormed etc. If you're interested, lob a comment, and ill start figuring out a way to organize us with a google drive or something similar (:
#HELP For some reason V2 will not allow me to print the drills I have been doing. Can anyone help with this? #Admin
the argument says that Neanderthals probably preserved their meats by smoking it, citing that burnt lichen and grass were found in many of their fireplaces, and that a fire made of these materials produces a lot of smoke, but not as much heat or light as a wood fire.
the correct answer is B. When I read the explanation, it says that B is correct because it suggests that Neanderthals used lichen and grass out of necessity rather than specifically for smoking meat. The explanation also says that the point of this argument is that Neanderthals used lichen and grass only to smoke meats.
But that is NOT how this argument is written to me. To me, the argument says that the only way Neanderthals preserved their meats was by smoking it, citing burnt lichen and grass in fireplaces, that burnt lichen and grass fire produce a lot of smoke as evidence. So I chose A, which suggests that they also used heat, which is ruled out in the last sentence in the argument.
I do not understand, for the life of me, how the main idea of this argument is that Neanderthals used lichen and grass primarily to smoke their meat, and not that smoking their meat was the only way they preserved it!
Is it me????? Every time I think I make headway on these questions, I get them wrong and it's so discouraging.
Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."
So I was watching the explanation on 7sage and the person explaining the game said that 1-5 was one game board and 6-10 was another, but idk how they knew to split. someone please advise.
