I started my first attempt to do the Blind Review after trying out many other study methods.

I’m hoping to do the Blind Review in the most effective way or do it appropriately at least.

I would like to ask for advice from those of you who improved score from Blind Reviewing.

Could you share in detail what you did when you do the blind review?

-What do you write out on your note? Other than Question type, your thought on stimulus and each answer choice?

-After making a comparison between your note and J.Y’s explanation videos, how do you revise your note to prevent you from choosing the same wrong answer or from approaching the question in old ways?

How long should I take to do the blind review?

How do you keep up with improving your weaknesses in certain sections while improving the ability to finish the test within a limited amount of time?

-I’m concerned about not doing the timed full test while I try to invest my time in Blind reviewing and Core Curriculum. At the same time, I do not want to waste my time doing PTs by repeatedly making wrong answer choices.

After BR one PT, do you retake the same PT and then try new PT? Should BR method for LR and RC similar to the Fool Proof method for LG?

I would really appreciate your advice.

166, 160, 166, 162, 151, 163, 170, 149 (First digital LSAT),162 (Jan LSAT), 163 (after a month off), 170, 159, 159, 162

I realize that one has good and bad days, but after getting a 162 on the LSAT while having 170 in the bag I decided to prep for April. I can write off my first score back as a cold start, but the quick jump to 170 and swing back down to the 150s has been soul crushing.

I got that 2nd 170 after starting 7sage and beginning to foolproof a couple of games most days. In the meantime I've been toying with keeping good pace on RC and LR and my scores have plummeted over 10 points.

I thought about taking a break, but after my first 170 the week before the Jan LSAT and my lowest score ever of 149 I took a full 60 hours off of studying but still only scored a 162. A month off after January only got me a 163.

My LG scores go from -0/-3. RC has swung from -2/-9. LR -2/-9

Kind of at a loss for what I should do or focus on.

I just started using 7Sage from two weeks ago, and I'm wondering how other people are using this 7Sage. I started from the beginning, but it's getting really difficult when I came up to different types of questions in LR. There are a lot of problem sets, and doing the same thing over again kind of blow up my mind. So I somewhat left some problem sets for later to solve and went on to other types of questions. Would this be fine? or should I just finish every problem set without going to other question types?

Also, is it necessary to go over the lessons in order? I somewhat want to do LG and RC too, but since the lessons are in order, I feel like I have to go through the lessons in order (also because some of the previous lessons give lots of hints and learning for future lessons.

I want to know how you guys use 7Sage efficiently! Thank you!:)

Hello all!

Please be brutally honest, I scored a 161 in 2019 and have decided to retake this June and October (I'm in Asia currently so these are the only available dates coming up). My goal is 170, but tbh if I can get high 160s I'd be pretty happy too!

Last time I wrote it, I did Khan academy and free 7Sage (and then did the free trial for 2 weeks before my LSAT lol) because honestly I wasn't committed to Law yet and didn't want to spend time or money. Horrible, I know but this time I've fully committed and will be applying this September 100% (to Canadian law schools btw).

My question is, I have about 3 months until June 12th, what should I do?

I bought LSAT trainer, and have started their schedule but it seems rlly chill? They expect about 10-12hrs a week, and I'm assuming this insufficient for making true progress to a 170? How much time do I need to put in daily?

Also I wonder if doing LSAT trainer AND buying 7sage would be repetitive or overkill? I think the reason I started using the LSAT trainer book was because I love writing in it and having a concrete solid object in front of me vs the internet, but I know 7Sage is super effective as well? IDK I'm honestly just really lost on how best to prepare. Also, I'm unsure if I should do a private tutor, or wait until I get my June score and get a tutor for October.

My struggle areas go from RC(-8) > LR(-5/-6) > LG (-4) based on the 2019 LSAT.

Thanks for reading all this, I'm clearly a hot mess rn but want to get my shit together! TIA

As I score higher on my prep tests, my BR score goes down!!

In the beginning I was scoring in the 159-163s but my BR was at a 175 and up. Now I'm scoring in the 164-166s but my BR is a 167-171!! It's so weird! Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm wondering if I'm just really doubting myself so I change my answers? But I have also been getting more questions than usual wrong in both the real test and BR. I used to only get 2 completely wrong, and now its 4-6. Help!! I just don't know what's going on or what to do lol.

What's unusual is I'm missing lower than ever in LR and RC, ~ -3 in both areas. This is where I'm having my problem. I'm missing lower than ever, BUT I still miss the questions in BR, and then I change the answer of questions I got right to the wrong one during BR.

I hope this makes sense. If anyone can relate or help....pls

How can I retake a preptest that I've already taken?

In the "take preptest" section I can see the results from my first take, but don't see any way to retake..?

Is there a difference in the number/type of analytics you get with a free account versus a paid subscription? I only have a free account but would like to know what other analytics I'd get if I purchased a subscription.

is it just me or are you guys also unable to click on the preptests?

was just about to take one so i'm a bit triggrd but :/ hope it gets figured out soon

Cant expand or open anything

Is anyone else having issues opening up the explanation videos?

Hello!

I'm taking the April LSAT and am curious how I should treat the week before the test? Are there any recommended approaches?

Thanks!

Stuck in the 140's, I've been studying non-stop and I feel like my efforts are in vain since I'm not making any progress. Mostly struggling in RC and LG, don't know how to continue or what step to take for a better score.

#HELP

Can someone please share their study schedule for the June exam as a test retaker?? (Especially if you are working full time.)

Hi all,

For the April 2021 LSAT, when should we expect an email to sign up for either April 10 or April 11 test date?

#help

Not sure what happened, but I cannot see any of the explanation videos when I click on the PT.....

Can anyone please assist. I probably pressed on something to lock it, but I have no clue... Thanks

Anyone unable to properly access problem set functions?

Hi friends! I am registered for the April test, and am aiming to have my overview of the curriculum complete in the next week-ish, so that I can move on to practice tests for the last 12-14 days. I'm not working at the moment, so I've had the brain space and time to focus on this since mid-February, and while more time would always be better, I'm ready to get this done so I can move on to the next chapter in figuring out my life! My plan is to take at least one practice test per day -- morning test, afternoon BR, and if I'm up for it, evening problem sets to work through questions that I'm iffier or feeling less confident about.

Are there any recommendations for how to prioritize the prep tests? I've been planning to work in reverse chronological order and do as many as I can without losing my mind. Other suggestions?

Preferably meeting over zoom. Id like to go through a well known service. I have learned I am not doing great on my own and need some more instruction. TIA

I've been studying since October and my original test date was Feb. My scores weren't increasing after a lot of tutoring, and on individual sections I was scoring great but altogether it was completely different. I pushed back my feb test date to April because my scores were not what I needed them to be. Right before I took a two week break I scored the highest on a preptest (159), and when I came back from break I was right back to a 153 (my diagnostic score). My goal score is around a 163, but lately I haven't been able to break 154. I am used to scoring about 18-20 on each section individually, but altogether it seems to be a lot worse. I don't know what's happening to my scores but they just keep getting lower since I took the 2 week break from studying. I don't know what to do and the test is a month away, I want to at least get to 160 before the date. Help!

Hi everyone,

I would really like some advice on should I take the October 2021 LSAT. I'm an international student currently in Asia and was originally planning on taking the April, June, and July LSAT-Flex. However, as LSAC cancelled the July test this year and I'm not eligible to take the August test due to being an international student, I'm struggled between taking the October test or not. I've already registered for the April and June test, but I'm not 100% sure that I can reach my ideal score in these two attempts. Therefore, I'm just wondering does everyone think the October test's score will be too late for the 2022 admission cycle? (I know that theoretically we can get our scores back before Thanksgiving but I really wanna send out all my applications before November).

Any advice would help!

Hello! As I work through problem sets, I'm realizing that I'm "spoiling" full-length practice tests. Are the problem sets meant to be worked through fully? Anyone have any strategies on how to save untouched PTs, while also getting enough practice before "graduating" to taking full-length PTs? Any advice would be appreciated. #help

yes.

About me: I have studied the LSAT for just over a year, starting out in the low 150s to finally scoring 177 in the February test. It's been a tumultuous year with many ups and downs (including a 5-month 160s plateau, surviving pandemic NYC, studying while working full-time), and I have experimented with many study methods (took prep course, gone through most LSAT books on the market, worked with tutors). I've been lucky enough to receive a lot of help along the way and so I hope to give a little back (inspired by @vicxwwwww ✨✨).

DM me with (1) your current score and your target goal (2) a few key areas or topics that you want to focus on (be as specific as possible, see below!) (3) your preferred availability (4) target LSAT date, if available. I am currently based in NYC and am working full-time so scheduling might be limited. Sessions will likely be through zoom!

=========================

Update:

-- Didn't expect so many messages, so responses might be delayed. Will try my best to reply but no guarantees!

-- Updates were made to information to DM, stick with the info requested above

-- DM, don't comment (having a hard time keeping track)!

-- When messaging, try to be as specific as possible i.e. avoid "want to improve on LG/LR" and instead try "want to focus on most strongly supported questions"

I am retaking the LSAT and signed up for 7sage. Previously I studied with Powerscore bibles...do you recommend going through the entire course and kind of fast forwarding sections I feel comfortable with or just skipping around and focusing on weak areas (definitely logic games)? Also should the syllabus be done in oder or is it ok to skip around?

Thanks!
