GUYS!! RC has always been my weakness, In my last 2 LSAT administrations, I have consistently done subpar because my RC would be like -8 to -13 scoring mid to low 150's. But recently, in the last month I have been grinding out RC and reviewing all my AC's really hard. My RC score is now consistently in the very low single digits. Furthermore, my LR has been spectacular too. This feeling is amazing - never give up y'all, because it WILL get better.

Question regarding addendum

My Bachelors undergrad GPA is a 3.81, with my final semester being a 4.0, but my cumulative is much lower because when I first started college (to get my associates degree) it was at the outbreak of COVID + my living situation was not the best and my grades suffered. Should I be worried about this as it was now 6 years ago and since then I have been constantly getting presidential's list, etc.? Is this something I should write an addendum for? I feel since I have consistently gotten dean's and presidential lists since, then those alone show that I am a good student, but is it still important to write an addendum to explain the difficult situation I was in? SHOULD I RETAKE SOME OF THE COURSES I HAVE LOWER GRADES IN FROM 6 YEARS AGO?

Hi! Could we get the new lsac format on BR as well? That way we can remain consistent in our highlighting patterns and also get more practice with it?

I know this may not be a universally shared interest but just an idea!

Hi,

I accidentally submitted my test before completing my blind review, and I’d love the option to go back and complete it afterward so I can compare my untimed answers with my timed results and see whether my answer patterns are consistent.

Is there any way to do this after a test has already been submitted?

Thank you!

Is there any freelance tutors who review personal statements, etc. for a reasonable amount? I would like another set of eyes and some advice, but I simply can't afford to spend 3,000$ on one review session. I worked my way through my degrees but spending that amount is not feasible nor conducive to my life at this point in time. Please reach out if there is someone who does help with these papers for a reasonable amount.

RC glitch?

Hi is anyone having the issue where when you scroll towards the end of an RC passage it bumps you back to the top over and over again? I was just taking a PT and lost a lot of time trying to simply read the last paragraph because my computer kept glitching out. Has anyone found any fixes?

Really loving the Logic Links game as someone who needs to improve both accuracy and speed on conditional logic.

Some new terms in there that I have not found grouped in the lessons... what groups would "is enough", "is sufficient", "guarantees", and "is necessary" belong to?

Anyone else taking the LSAT from abroad? I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in Cambodia and since I'm not allowed to leave the country in the last couple of months of service, I'll be taking the international test date in October. I'm a bit nervous about all of the new changes to the LSAT and the online proctor, so I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone else was in the same boat. But no matter when or where you're taking it, good luck!

I would soooo appreciate it if we could turn off the "i" previous of why 7Sage flagged a question for Blind Review while still in the process of BR. I struggle soooo hard to resist the temptation to preview it, and see if I even got the question wrong. It can be helpful on drills and practice, but for a full PrepTest, I feel like it defeats the whole purpose of BR. For me at least!

RC Reading Advice

Hi! This is my second time taking the LSAT; I've been studying for about 6 months total now, and I have progressed well with LR, but I feel like my RC has been stagnant.

I find that my biggest issue is even if I spend 5-6 minutes reading the passage, I don't understand the full meaning (especially with the added timed pressure) and have to rush through the questions. Many say that taking notes on the author's opinions, tone, structure, etc. takes up too much time.

Any advice on what I should do to have better understanding of the passage? Not sure how to truly make myself be more of an "active" reader, as I see with other suggestions.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

During my timed PT I am doing significantly worse than my BR. I know there is some controversy about the truth behind BR but I definitely find myself making simple mistakes when the pressure of time comes in. I don't know how to stop that. I feel like I have reached a plateau at my timed score as I keep scoring around there. I feel like something needs to click in me, but it is not and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Hi! I am Lauren and I'm hoping to start a study group in the MD (PG County) area. I am just starting out, so not a lot of experience, but I would love to have a buddy or three to study with.

I took the LSAT in June and scored a little lower than desired, so I am retaking in Sep. I had studied Jan-June, with about 10 weeks of practice blocks. I now only have 4 fresh full PTs available to take, but at least 7 PT "slots" (ie saturdays between now and Sep test).

What is the best approach here? Should I save all 4 for the weeks directly leading up to Sep? Should I alternate? What should I do in weeks without a fresh PT (take old old fresh PTs, create my own PTs with 4 sections pulled from partially fresh PTs, etc)?

Any feedback would be helpful!

I would be eternally grateful for a live class on a super hard science passage like Basins of Attraction or C-4 Photosynthesis! It would be like an early Christmas treat for me!

Increasing my RC Accuracy

Hi everyone!

I have recently hit a wall with the RC sections and can't seem to increase my accuracy even with extensive practice. I was wondering what others have done or do to increase their accuracy, like tips, methods, or creating new ways of thinking. Hopefully this makes sense; any help would be appreciated!

My conditional reasoning and diagramming skills are usually solid. I often do it the same way it's done in the LR lesson videos.

However, looking at my wrong answer list, a significant chunk of the questions are tagged with conditional reasoning! This suggests to me that my basic cond R skills are alright, but I get stumped by the ways the LSAT tries to trick us, especially on level 4 and level 5 questions.

How can I improve? Where can I get practice with advanced conditional reasoning, and why is the LSAT so good at making cond R difficult?

Hi everyone, started studying for the LSAT about a week ago and I’m looking for a study partner in the London area.

The journey to law school is already challenging, and coming from the UK makes the LSAT process feel even more daunting. I’m aiming to take the LSAT in November, so I’d love to connect with someone who is also preparing for the exam and wants to stay motivated and accountable throughout the process.

If you’re interested in studying together, sharing resources, or meeting up for practice sessions, feel free to reach out!

Hello! I've been studying semi- consistently since Mid-Late May after I got my 160 diagnostic. Since then all my PTs have been around this range and my best one was 163. My goal is 168+ by the September LSAT and 172+ by October LSAT (Ideally 170+ by September). When I do study its usually for around 2 hours.

I have 2 questions:

  1. Are my goal scores realistic?

  2. What can I do to get there by the deadline?

Thank you guys in advance !

I had the opportunity through an internship to draft a legal memo that roughly follows an IRAC structure. Would it be a good idea to link this to my resume as I am applying? For context, I am applying with a 3.95, have a 166 on my record, but I am retaking in August; my recent PTs (and individual sections) have been in the high 170s. I would assume it's unusual, which would be a good thing, but I am also somewhat afraid that if it's "not T14 quality," it would hurt my chances. Opinions?

Hey, like the tittle states I will be travelling for 2 weeks due to the loss of a grandparent to a foreign country and I am having trouble conveying my worries to my parents that my score will decrease significantly when I return. I will return 2 weeks before the September LSAT but I will also be starting my courses for the Fall and working on campus. My first question would be, is there anything better to do then just downloading practice tests and trying to do sections when I have free time. Secondly, what is the best way to wear off the rust of not having been able to study consistently for those 2 weeks before the LSAT? Thank you for any advice!
