^I second the above. If you fool proof games from tests 1-35 and/or the tests you’ve already taken, you should definitely be able to get your games down to -0/-1. When trying to score a 170+, those extra two or three points in games are crucial (par…

@leissosa I'd recommend giving yourself unlimited time on problem sets while going through the curriculum. That's how I did it. When first engaging with curriculum material, I believe it's far more important to really get a feel for the question typ…

@n76543kl-1 Yes of course! I'm happy to help. And trust me, improvement in LG is absolutely possible. Though I went -9 on my diagnostic, I got a few correct that I guessed on. So I seriously doubt my LG abilities were actually at a -9 level at the b…

Sometimes focusing on a particular section/question-type for a day or two and seeing improvement helps to motivate me. Additionally, I often try to reframe my mindset for each section to help with burnout. For LG and LR, I find it fun to sometimes t…

While your current approach is solid, and may very well serve you best, I prefer using the “Pacifico Method.” In short, you do a game under timed conditions, watch the explanation video, immediately repeat the game, then attempt the same game the ne…

Are you attempting to apply during your third year, then go to undergrad for your fourth year, then matriculate the year after that? Or are you just saying that you only plan to do three years of undergrad before graduating? If it's the former, then…

To build on what @aysoliman1 said, I’d recommend you go through the logic games section of the curriculum then fool proof the games from tests 1-35. Though tests 1-35 are old, they’ve got a great variety of logic games and a bunch of unusual games t…

Ellen Cassidy’s loophole is a book that covers the LR section of the LSAT. Many people swear by it. I personally know a couple of people who significantly improved their LR scores using it (like they consistently missed only one or two questions per…

If you’re scoring high (meaning high 160s and up), there’s a good chance your issues are relatively specific. Really taking the time to analyze which sections you’re struggling with and what exactly is causing you problems is the path to improvement…

Are you only struggling with LR under timed conditions? Or are you also struggling when doing LR untimed? If you’re struggling under timed conditions but you do okay when untimed, then you need to explore time management strategies. There’s a bunch …

3 scored sections and 1 unscored section. So you’ll take 4 sections, but you won’t know which one is unscored. You’ll have two sections of the same type, so you’ll know one of them is scored and one unscored, but you won’t know which.

It’s generally easier to pick up speed in LR on the first ~10 questions rather than later questions, as the earlier questions tend to be easier. The hard questions are just that: hard questions. For most of them, you just have to have time to think…

Generally, I found that some lessons took longer than the estimate and some were shorter. It really depended on the concept being taught. One place I made up a bunch of time was with the drills. Each section has multiple drills at the end of it, and…

Drilling is incorporated into the core curriculum. After you learn a new question type/LG setup/RC lesson, there'll be pre-made drills for you to utilize. Any drilling that you need outside of the pre-made drills must be done independently. And the…

I’m interested! What do you have in mind for the meetings? A quiet time to study and hold each other accountable? Or a review of prep tests? I’m just curious but I’m interested regardless!

I’m interested!

Just to echo what everyone has said, LSAC won’t make any major changes to the test without warning far in advance. Additionally, from what I understand, when LSAC has made major changes in the past, they’ve provided study materials to prepare for th…

I think fool proofing logic games is appropriate. Additionally, after you have some data points, you could use 7Sage’s analytics to focus on LR question types you struggle with. For RC, doing at least one or two passages a day and really taking the …

I generally play with the rules in my mind’s eye, sometimes using my fingers to cover up variables or parts of the game board. Occasionally I’ll quickly and lightly sketch something if I feel I need to, but I try to keep it minimal. To answer the s…

As @"Glutton for the LSAT" said, your stats are promising. If you can bump your LSAT score up before August (even if only by a point or two), you should be in great shape.

Congratulations!

@Anonymous-3 I’m not sure. I haven’t started taking full PTs yet, I just know that only three sections are scored. Apologies!

@Anonymous-3 Only three sections are scored now.

No. After completing a test (or a section, or individual questions), you're given the option to do blind review on the website. And yes, if you flag questions while taking the test, you'll still be able to see which questions you flagged during and …

First, congrats on your awesome score! I'm sure you'll crush the admissions process. Second, thank you so much for the great advice! This is one of the best/most concise pointer-posts I've seen. Best of luck in your law school endeavors!

I've seen numerous comments throughout the CC from 7Sage admins saying the concept tree isn't available in its entirety anywhere. That being said, I've also seen people post quizlets and other study-aids in the comments of videos that cover everythi…

Assuming you're referring to the RC webinar being hosted by the 7Sage team on the 30th, this is what the original post says: "The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast."
