Starting Over

I took the June LSAT and didn't get the score I wanted. Any advice from anyone taking it a second time on where to start and how to restudy?

And all of my progress from the old 7sage format is gone.. including preptests so that's super fun... oh well!

hi! i've been having some trouble when blind reviewing (and in writing this post) where the text that i type will disappear or delete things i have already typed. where i'm typing also sometimes gets shifted (for example, if i go to add a sentence in the middle of a paragraph, i can just start typing before it deletes it all and moves my cursor to the last text character in the blurb).

i've been on multiple wifi networks and restarted network and nothing has helped.

Hey guys, I just took my first diagnostic PT and was wondering by how many points does a typical 7sage user's score increase? This might have already been answered in the "Let's Dive In" module but I don't remember lol.

Every time I do an RC passage drill or prep test the analytics say I take 30-50% more time reading the passage than expected. I'm wondering if I'm misreading the stats or something because I don't really see how these passages should be read in 2 minutes instead of closer to 3 and if I'm missing a strategy there. Should I only be skimming them before looking at the questions?

My general goal is to get my LR average down to -4 or 5 per section (and i've just achieved this for the first time on my most recent PT), but that was met with by far my worst RC score of -11. I usually drill anywhere from 30-40 LR a day, at about 80-85% accuracy as I continue to improve, I do it faster, and spend less time going over wrong ACs, and I feel as though Im at the point now where my LR is about good to begin to focus on my RC for the last 3.5 weeks before August Lsat, and 7 before September LSAT. I almost never do RC drills, and don't really know how to go about it. Usually when I drill I drill 1 or 2 passages, and I end up doing pretty well, or really bad, usually not in between. I think the main thing thats been bothering me during PTs is I feel as though Im too slow, what would you recommend? Doing 4 passage drills aiming for 35 no matter what?

I have been grinding the LSAT for so long. It has been two years of 3-5 month intervals of studying for the actual test. Currently, my highest score on the actual test has been a 160, which really angers me because I did great on the 1st section (LR), second section (RC), third section (LR), and then AWFUL on the fourth section (RC). Of course, the second section was experimental. This was in January of this year (I believe), I decided to apply to LSU (where I reside), and A&M (my dream school) with a 160 and 3.92 GPA. Of course I didn't get into A&M because the median is a 168, however I did get into LSU. I decided to not attend LSU after graduation though because I wanted one more chance at getting into A&M. So, since March I have been studying the LSAT once again. I was getting a 161-164 on PT but my issues resided in the Reading Sections. I would miss 0-3 questions on each LR but miss 9-12 on Reading. Because of this, I decided to GRIND and LEARN the Reading Section. After 2 months, I had made little progress, missing roughly 6-9 on each RC section. Finally, I decided to get a tutor, specifically for the Reading Section. It worked! Well kind of, his teachings were decent but the most important contribution he taught me was to STOP CARING. I hadn't been realizing before getting a tutor that I would try to add in extra details through outside knowledge / contribute to the text random things and assumptions so that the passage would make more sense, the passage would feel WHOLE. He made me stop this. He insisted that I stop caring about understanding the passage, and instead focused on the concrete words that they gave me. This helped me tremendously. My following PT (3 weeks ago), I scored a 168, missing four on the RC. Then last week, I scored a 167, missing four on the RC. Due to the increased attention on RC and diminished focus on LR, I have been missing 2-5 on LR. I have started to balance each category in the previous days to seek my upmost potential. The reason I am writing this is because today I am stressed out. I decided to look up the stats on A&M and I basically HAVE to reach a 170 now in order to be accepted. I am now very stressed because my test is in August and I plan on applying by October for the greatest chances. It makes me so angry knowing that I have to be a top 5% test taker in order to get into a top 30 law school. I understand that law schools are proportional in rankings with lsat medians, but like, WHY do they make it so hard. I am angry because I can blind review exams and make a 179 easily, also I can drill all day long and get 95% of the questions correct and then explain why an answer is correct and not correct. All of this forced studying that I have been doing for two years just to make it into my dream school and i'm scared that I won't get in, or worse, that I won't get a score that accurately reflects my knowledge of the LSAT. Sorry for being such a downer right now. I was using this forum as my own journal, I guess. Will probably make a copy of this for the therapist after test day. Good luck all!!!

Or and Not Both Quantifiers

Is this the proper way to translate this conditional?

Paul must enroll in Econ 101 or Poly Sci 101, but not both.

Translation:

Econ 101 <-> /Poly Sci 101

Poly Sci 101 <-> /Econ 101

My understanding is that this is a bi conditional because it combines group 3 (or) and group 4 (not both), so we would know what Paul does in regards to both classes based on his enrollment or non-enrollment in either class.

The LSAT (Law School Admission Test) is widely considered a challenging exam—but not because it tests specific knowledge like history or math. Instead, it measures critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and reading comprehension skills. These are not necessarily "taught" in most traditional classrooms, which makes the test feel unfamiliar and tough for many students at first.

One reason the LSAT is difficult is its time pressure. Each section is strictly timed, leaving very little room for hesitation. You’re required to read dense texts, understand abstract arguments, and solve logic puzzles—all within tight deadlines. The Logical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) sections are especially tricky if you're not used to that style of thinking.

That said, the LSAT is very learnable. With consistent practice, a good prep plan, and proper understanding of test strategies, many students significantly improve their scores. It’s not about memorizing facts, but rather about training your brain to recognize patterns, make inferences, and manage time effectively. So while it’s a tough test, it’s definitely manageable with preparation—and many find it even enjoyable once they understand how it works.

Need to stop checking the answer

Hi everyone, this might sound a little silly, but does anyone else have the constant urge to check the right answer after every question? I'm trying to break this habit, but I can't help it! Even during prep test I'm still constantly checking the right answer on a separate tab.

I am not sure how and when to drill. Do I drill after each section? If so, how do I know which types of questions to do? I’m still on foundations and haven’t started LR yet, FYI.

I've been making my way through the syllabus but not quite sure how much I should be extending my study outside the questions and focused drills. Should I be aiming for a PT once a week and focusing my efforts especially on the question types I know? Should I just be taking drills with the questions types I've covered? What has been a good strategy for other people?
