PT M20. Note: this test drew from the June and October '19 tests. Similar released PTs will be in the 87-89 range.

All scoring levels welcome.

Requirements:

  • Have taken the PT or at least the section you want to BR under representative timed conditions.
  • Flag or otherwise indicate the questions that gave you trouble for BR. We likely won't be doing every question on the test, just those indicated.
  • Do not check your answers. This defeats the purpose of a BR call, and reduces the potential value to be extracted. Obviously there is no one "right" way, but in this group, the call should ideally be your first look at the material since your timed run.
  • We can also explore individual issues, general LSAT strategies, and become needlessly dramatic about the new T14 rankings.

    Link to the meeting will be in this post. Venue TBD as I don't have one of those fancy school Zoom accounts. As of right now, default will probably be a google meeting so we won't have a time limit. If anyone has a school Zoom and is willing to host let me know!

    I've had someone mention this to me in passing and it was just mentioned in another 7Sage discussion forum:

    "PT M20. Note: this test drew from the June and October '19 tests. Similar released PTs will be in the 87-89 range."

    I think I've also heard this on an LSAT podcast episode. Can someone direct me to a resource where I can learn more about this? And as a follow-up, do we know what the case will be for April and June tests? Any help or guidance would be really really appreciated, thanks 🙏

    Hi!! I have just begun hitting the PT's the last 2-3 weeks and have been scoring 159-163. I am aiming for a 160+ on test day (in June) but would like to consistently PT in mid 160s just for wiggle room. Is this too much to ask/an unrealistic expectation? I know I have improvement possible on logic games for sure- I'm trying to perfect them which will greatly raise my score. RC is my strongest subject, usually -3 or -4. LR kind of jumps around (-8 to as low as -3), but I feel like with the exposure to PT's I have gotten more comfortable with LR. Plus drilling some commonly missed problem types on the side. Anyways, all in all just wanted to see if PT around 164-165 (even consistently at 163) is an unrealistic goal. My highest has been a 163, but my most common score has been a 160. I'm just cruising from now until June test day about 4 PT's a week with the other days being LG drilling for the most part. I am a full time student finishing up my junior year of undergrad but this hasn't gotten in the way of my study plans due to everything being online. Lol... longer post than anticipated but just want to see everyone's thoughts. Thanks in advance!! Good luck to all my fellow peeps looking to write in June :)

    Hi,

    Here is some basic info of me: I took two lsat's two years ago and cancelled them. It was so stupid to do that but I was like a nuts and know nothing about lsat. I took another two lsat last year, one for 150, one for 157. I started studying since October last year. My current pt score (using LSAC Lawhub) is around 170, sometimes higher sometimes lower.

    I registered lsat in June. Recently, I talked with some people in this boat, read some related articles. All said that I shouldn't take more than five times. So this would be my last chance to get a fine score.

    So I wonder if anyone had experiences taking more than five times? Does that affect admission a lot?

    If not taking June, My options are August or October. I feel that October is a little bit late. And June is the last flex test, meaning less materials, less pressure?

    Just want to talk with someone who had this issue.

    Thanks!

    I'm looking to take the LSAT-flex in June, but have in the back of my mind that I may need to retake in October. My last few PTs, I have NOT been simulating flex and taking all 4 sections, but not doing a 5th simulated experimental section. My logic is that if I practice longer mental endurance than I need, the flex will be a little bit easier. That being said, with one less LR section on the real exam, I'm wondering if my flex score would be higher or lower than how I'm doing on the full 4 sections.

    How are other people going about their PTs these days?

    If you are taking a problem set or PT on your computer through 7Sage, is there a way to flag a question that you want to blind review later on? I don't have a printer at home, and I think it's better for me to have scrap paper and do the problem sets/PTs on my computer screen to better simulate real test conditions anyways.

    Hey everyone - I started studying for the LSAT in January and have been putting in 10-20 hours a week. I first began with Mike Kim's LSAT trainer and finished that curriculum by Mid February. I've taken 2 PT's since starting to study, and only saw two points of improvement after about 8 weeks of studying. I then decided to switch to 7 sage in late Feb. I started the curriculum from the beginning and have only been focusing on LR. I just took my first timed section after getting through the majority of the 7sage LR curriculum, and still have THE SAME SCORE as my last full LR section I took in Feb. My Blind review score was a lot better than the timed take of the section, but I'm not sure why the gains I'm making on BR aren't reflecting in my test taking.

    I'm getting really discouraged that I can't improve, and that maybe I should give up on this path altogether. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this too early to be getting disappointed? This marks about 12 weeks of studying, and my original hope is to take the test in August.

    Hello ,

    I wanted to get some feedback about possible ways to increase in LG/LR or overall LSAT score. I took the LSAT on July 2020 and scored a 137 while working two jobs- With this score, I did not use any of my scratch sheet and did not know how to even properly diagram the games. Sadly. I was lost the entire time. I recently graduated undergrad December 2020. Currently enrolled in a Masters program. My target score is 150+ and I have a 3.79 LSAC CAS GPA. I am focusing much more on improving in games. I am eager to get the LSAT out the way this second time with my LSAC waiver.

    My top schools are: Emory, Georgia State and Univ. of Miami.

    What's the best way to see gains? Best practices that helped you improve your scores. I would love to go from a 137 in a 150 range.

    Any advice is appreciated sincerely. Thank you.

    Hi, does anyone know how accurate the score conversion from the PTs (when simulating flex) on this site are to the actual flex exam? I only ask because each time I take a practice test and simulate the flex, I score in my preferred range or score somewhat higher. But when I took the exam in October and in January, my actual test scores were 10-13+ LOWER than my usual score on ANY PT.

    I don't feel like I do anything different during the real exam vs. a practice test but of course it could just be me choking under the pressure. If that is the case, does anyone have any tips for test day nerves? Preparing again for April 10 and not feeling too confident because I don’t know whether I can even trust my PT progress at this point...

    Tutor?

    Can anyone recommend a good tutor to break through around 167-169 to the 170+ range? can't seem to break through a plateau on RC, and a couple LR Q types. LG is usually somewhere between -1 to -3.

    Hello guys! I am taking the LSAT for the first time in August. I started studying March 18 and according to the 7sage study schedule I should be putting in 40-50 hours a week. However I work full time and I am finding it rather difficult to get through the assigned coursework weekly. I am also going through the course in order and I feel like I am not covering all the sections RC LR AR enough. The first few weeks are mostly LR. Im scared because I feel like I am not going to have enough time to do practice tests at the end. But I cant skip the curriculum either because I have no background in the LSAT. How do you suggest I go about my studying

    I have score 162 and 167 on my first two LSATs. I am aiming for a 170 but have never scored over a 166 on PTs. Would it hurt me (for admissions purposes) to take the April LSAT I am signed up for if I am just as likely to score lower as I am to score higher? I assume law schools would see a downward trend as a red flag.

    The alternative would be to study another few months and focus on my weakness (LG) then take again in June/August.

    However, if a lower score won't hurt me I wouldn't be opposed to taking both the April and a June/August test.

    Hi everyone!

    I have a question about the format of the LSAT Flex. Does the test look like the "7Sage" theme, the "Standard" theme, or something else? The themes that I am referring to are the ones 7Sage allows us to choose from when we are drilling questions under problem sets. I want to ensure that I am studying in the format I will see on test day.

    Thanks!

    Is there any way to alter the way that the printable problem sets display? At present, there are two questions per page. I would prefer more per page to reduce the amount of paper, though I am already printing double-sided.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Looking for 1-2 BR partners for the April exam who are scoring in the 170's- preferably who's strongest section is RC. Aiming for maybe 3 to 4 more PT's by then (all in the 80's). BR will consist of a deep dive into each RC passage and any flagged/problematic questions in LR. Im on EST time and am very flexible with time.

    Hello! I'm sure this has been discussed 1000 times but I'm a new-er LSAT studier here, looking for any advice on studying while working full-time from home. I know people recommend studying before the workday starts, but I cannot get myself to wake up before 8 am. It's also so difficult to have a real break in your day when you never leave the house. I'll definitely be sacrificing my weekends to the cause. Looking mostly for inspiration/tips/motivation/commiseration. Is anyone else currently building a schedule for studying and working, and has found success?

    Hi, my official LSAT testing score is 169, and my practice PTs are above 170s. But I want to improve and break the curve in the actual test. I heard tutoring someone is the best way to learn. So I am offering free tutoring sessions to someone in need. My strongest suit is game. I usually score perfectly with 3-5 mins spare. The second-best section of me is LR, which I am at +- 0-3. My worst part is reading, minus 2 to 5. I think I mastered the idea of structural reading, but my execution has room to improve. If anyone is interested, feel free to message me. Please include your current AVG PT score, goal, struggled sections, and planned testing time, if applicable. Thank you.
