I feel like I take PTs too often. Shouldn’t I just be focusing on understanding the material instead of “hitting a certain” score.

Hey y'all!

On Wednesday, July 27th, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Building Better Boards: Tips for LG."

We're going to focus on the most basic element of LG - board construction. We'll cover the purpose of a board, rules behind splitting your board, and some best practices to avoid unforced errors. We'll have information for beginners and advanced students alike, so we hope you join us!

Can I retake a full PT without deleting my old data. Like when you redo a problem set it says (Problem set 1-1 or 1-2 etc) ?

.

I think I'm blind... I can't find the link to take my LSAT Writing portion on the LSAC LawHub account. Am I missing something super obvious?? Where is it?

So I have just been following the curriculum in order, I am about 9% done at the moment. I scrolled through the rest of it quickly and figured I would find scheduled practice tests throughout. However, I am pretty sure there are none. I only saw prep tests in a group right at the end. Prep tests are not the full length tests, right?

So I have to schedule and take my own full length tests throughout the course?

Leading up to your test date, are you taking PTs in order (like doing PT 80, then 81, then 82, etc)? Or bouncing around? By "bouncing around," I mean taking a PT in, say, the 50s, then maybe one in the 80s, then one in the 70s, etc. I understand that more recent PTs are more representative of modern tests, so I'm not sure that I want to use super recent PTs when I'm still 3+ months away from the actual test. I also don't want to get a false sense of security from older tests if I'm scoring higher on them, however.

Anyone know of a good LSAT tutor? Taking the October LSAT and trying to score at least mid-160s. Thanks!

hi everyone. i'm currently planning on taking the february lsat which would be my first time taking the lsat. i'm prepping from now which gives me about 7 months ~ 26 weeks to prep. i just finished up this first week by taking a diagnostic and sort of practicing the blind review method with another practice exam as i heard it's really helpful among other test-takers. now i'm stuck and not really sure where to begin or how to start with the official course of prep. if it helps, i'm scoring better on logic games than LR and RC and i usually get bored very easily in the RC section and have the habit of rushing through it and getting distracted. i have access to powerscore bibles and official LSAT preptests. i'm not hoping to spend too much money on material but i am willing to purchase one of the study plans from 7sage as i've seen it's significantly more affordable than other prep websites. any help on how to start and how to space out my study days is greatly appreciated. thank you!

When I take PTs, I always get headaches. Is it something normal for others too? That's why I feel like I perform better in timed sections rather than in PTs. Any suggestions on how to not get headaches when taking PTs?

Hi everyone,

We plan to make the auto-builder the default for creating drills in about a week or two. Please let us know if you notice any issues using the auto-builder on your end so that we can correct them before it becomes the default.

Currently, you can access the auto-builder by going to the Drills tab and selecting "Use Auto Builder (beta)." See the GIF below:

​

Please also feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

I plan on doing the CC for the next 2 months (after which I will foolproof 1-35 LG and then after move on to drilling sections/question types then taking pt etc etc etc). But in the meantime while I complete this CC, I’m wondering how many problem sets I should be doing? What did you guys do that was most beneficial? I know I’m supposed to leave some for drilling later, and I plan to do AMPLE drilling of weaknesses way down the road (I’m taking 10 months to study this). So help me out: should I do odd numbered problem sets? Exactly half of them? One easy one medium one hard? A couple easy a couple medium a couple hard? Until I “understand” the question? (which I don’t even know when I could fully say that if I’m only starting with the beginning ones bc they are easy…) Let me know what you did/what you wish you did/what will be the most advantageous for me?

Also, when you did these problem sets during CC, did you do them untimed? 1 min per q? Target time? I’m thinking that I should do them untimed bc I’m still learning the material and don’t want to reinforce bad habits with a clock interference (at least for now). Maybe leave the timed drilling sets of specific questions until after cc? Idk. Let me know if you have any insight into ^^ any of this! Thanks!

Hi! I'm filling out the 7Sage Admission Consulting form, and it says to send our academic transcripts to them. Does anyone know how I can obtain copies of this to send in the email to 7Sage? Would I have to reach out to the individual schools again or is there a way on LSAC that I can obtain copies?

Thanks!

Hi!

I have been stuck at 165 for MONTHS! For 8 tests in a row, I got the exact same raw score and it just fluctuated between 164-166. Now the last 6 I’ve taken have all been 165. The problem is my RC and LR fluctuate between being the lower score. Does anyone have any recommendations to get over this INFURIATING plateau? Thank you!!

I am taking the August LSAT tomorrow, but im pting around 160 - 161 consistently, no where near where I want to be (169+). I am taking the October one since I know I wont get my needed score for my schools. I took up a job and life stuff happened and I fell behind on studying for a month or so (Wont work until October so I can study full time for retake).

Does anyone have advice/tips or routines that worked for them in that amount of time? My averages for each section are -7 LR, -8 LG, -5 RC. I know LG is the easiest to improve quickest, but I really feel like I hit a wall in timed sections and want to plan out a routine, and do NOT want to wait another cycle to apply. Any advice and tips are appreciated, thanks!

How much can I realistically improve by then? I’m aiming for high 150s to low 160s.. LG was my best section. I struggled with LR and RC

Hello,

I was debating whether to keep up the pace with PT'ing or to slow down. I wanted to get through at least over half of all the available PTs before my test. However, I found myself struggling more as I moved up into the 70s. Based on your experience, do you think it's much better to slow down? I am finishing BR before the next scheduled PT, but I think I would get more out of it if I slow down. I would appreciate any advice! Is it possible to get a good score without going through many PTs?

Kind of a silly question but when taking the LSAT flex is it allowed to talk to yourself? I find it easier to do the questions when I can read them out loud ^_^. Also can you use cntrl + F to search for words?

Hi,

Kind of just wondering the question above. I really want to take a full exam today, but I think if I bomb it/score lower than I have been that might mess with my head a bit. Im wondering if maybe I should just do four random sections from random PT's so that way I don't actually get a 'score' so it can't mess with my head. Any advice? Not sure if im just gonna burn myself out for the exam on Saturday.

Does anyone have a LR study guide/cheat sheet for each question type? Would help me immensely. Thanks in advance.

You know people always say, “Don’t do anything LSAT related on the day before the test. Relax! Watch a movie or something!”

But what do you watch? You don’t want to watch The Silence of the Lambs, right? Should I watch like @"Daniel.Sieradzki" does? Or Legally Blonde?

https://media.giphy.com/media/x7JOtkxzuFr0s/giphy.gif

(But Legally Blonde makes me feel like, “She gets a 179 after studying for like weeks? F*#k”)

So let me know if there are any inspiring movies that you recommend watching on the day (or two days) before the LSAT!

Not looking for any sarcastic or judgmental answers. Can instructor or someone else help me draft my persona statement based off a few of my ideas? I need stylistic / narrative advice and guidance of framework! please would mean the world. thank you. or if anyone knows of someone else who is willing to help!

Hi guys,

I am planning on taking the Lsat for the third time. My first two times I got a 146 and 148. The problem with my studying was that I did not take the time to prepare for the exam properly and did not have a good studying schedule. This time around, I plan on studying for the test 4-5 months in advance to ensure that I will get the desired grade which is 160+. Currently I am thinking of studying each section separately for approximately a month, and then have a month or two of only doing PTs and focusing on my weak section which probably will be reading comprehension. Each day therefore, would be separated into 2 study sessions. One in the morning and another at night. If I am working on games for example, I would do 2 timed sections, go over all the questions (with emphasis on the ones I got wrong), take a break and then do another 2 timed games sections.

If you guys could share what worked for you while studying or what you think I might be able to do better with my scheduling please let me know.

#help my problem sets on my syllabus are not being timed.
