  • Hi @"Bauer Johann-1"! Effectively, yes, in Logical Reasoning Lawgic. E.g. saying "J.Y. can teach the LSAT but can't train dragons" is equivalent to "J.Y. can teach the LSAT and ~train dragons (can't train dragons). Hope that helps clarify. In Readin…
  • Hey @decesares1! You are correct in that the best way to improve is practice, particularly Foolproofing. This has consistently been the number one way I've seen students work on time management in LG (myself included). But that wasn't your question …
  • Hey @Providence. I'd agree with everything sucralosedaddy said. His process is describing Foolproofing, a concept we really push for at 7Sage. If you'd like to continue to read about it, feel free to do so here: https://7sage.com/how-to-get-a-perfec…
  • Hey @kimste! This is a really valid question and something that happens to many LSAT takers (myself included)! Right off the bat, I would say you might be leading towards burnout. I usually advise my students to study for no more than a maximum of …
  • Hey @theo1106, great question! I would absolutely recommend working through the questions yourself before watching JY's explanation. Practicing those questions is what really allows the "Core Curriculum" lesson to sink in. Some students find that th…
  • Hey @cfalohaa! Your line of thinking is correct that it's important to consistently practice with 4 sections since that's what you'll get on testing day. What I would recommend is adding an additional section to the Modern Practice Tests when you wo…
  • Hey @"Kadin Fair"! That's a great question. I would work on the timed sets included for each question type in the Core Curriculum first. If, after completing that, you still feel very unclear about a question type, I would recommend drilling anywher…
  • Hey @sssakari! 7sage's admissions team would love to talk through this question further with you! If you'd like to schedule a free consultation to talk with an admissions specialist about your question, here is the link: https://7sage.com/admissi…
  • Hey @kimste! @"Cant Get Right" hit the nail on the head about their advice with Blind Reviewing! Additionally, it seems like you might be dealing with burnout based on what I'm seeing in your post. I'd highly advise taking a break for anywhere from…
  • Hey @gahe1999! @"Cant Get Right" gave you some pretty sound advice there. Once you break through the foundations of LSAT, it's important to start noting patterns. Making sure you blind review and keeping a wrong answer journal is incredibly importan…
  • Hey @Tarheels ! First of all, congratulations on hitting a 172. It's no easy feat breaking into the 170s! It's very normal to score in the 160s after hitting a 170, but it's no fluke! It shows what your ability on this exam is, and you should move f…
  • Hey @lawyergirl25! I understand what you're feeling. It can be difficult to keep going through with the curriculum without getting tempted to take a Practice Test and apply the knowledge you're learning. I'm going to give a lawyer-y answer here and …
  • Hey @klwalthour! I'm glad you were approved for accommodations! Taking timed drills/tests with accommodated time can be an adjustment for students. Like you mentioned, you don't want to get fixated too much on slowing down and lose focus. Students …
  • Hey @darykcayun98 ! First, I want to validate what you're feeling. As someone who studied for two years (starting with a 138), it's rough to see a score you were hoping to do much better on. The good news is that the LSAT is learnable. It's about co…
  • Hey @Gabby Gonzalez! I understand your frustration. I myself was stuck in plateau for 6+ months before finally hitting in the 170s for a timed Practice Test. Once you break into the 160s, especially the 165+ range, it becomes significantly more diff…
  • Hey @camillepowell028! Tutor at 7Sage here. This is a really good question. While I do think there's validity in taking old PTs, I wouldn't worry too much about the lower score dips in the 70s. If anything, playing it "safe" with more difficult RC i…
  • Sorry for the delay @amball123-1-1-1! Answer choice A isn't a great answer choice, but it's the most provable of all the answer choices. While we don't discuss a comprehensive approach in the stimulus, we do discuss that a non-comprehensive approach…
  • Hey there! This is a great question. If you actively feel yourself struggling with certain concepts or questions types, I think it's a good idea to spend a bit more time working on it. One of the best ways to do that is to drill! Outside of the Core…
  • Hey! Just a heads up, the correct answer for the question you're referring to is D, not A! You're correct in finding an error in A, in that we simply can't draw support from our stimulus to say that print is better than broadcast media. In fact, th…
  • Hey! 7Sage tutor here. If any of you are still looking for a study buddy or just an environment to study with others, 7Sage hosts study group breakout sessions! Our next one is this upcoming Tuesday at 9 PM EST. We'll pair you with other people scor…
