My scores in each section have been:

LG: -3

LR: -12 - (-8) (-10 average)

RC: -12 - (-8) (-10 average)

Consistently my performance in LG has been -3, By coincidence, I typically guess 3 questions on each of them. So I have horrible luck at guessing and my error is from lack of speed.

I did notice if I take longer time per question, it's typically at grouping questions, especially grouping w/ repeated items.

I also run out of time at LR and RC, where I guess 3-5 questions in each. I usually get -12 - (-8) (average of -10) in each section, where very rarely my guesses are correct.

I need a score in the 160s to be admitted to the law schools I applied to . This seems within reach if I just solve my lack of time issue, turning my scores in each section to roughly -1, -7, -7, respectively.

With only 5 days left until my LSAT write, what are the best ways to improve?

I completed all Core Curriculum including and up to "Main Point and Conclusion." When I tried to go back and rewatch the videos from "Main Point and Conclusion," I can no longer access them or even see them in my syllabus. Is it normal that once you complete a section it disappears? Please let me know if you have the same issue or if I am missing something.

I already took the LSAT twice in the past year, once in June (162) and once again in August (164). I was scheduled to take it again In November but decided to post-pone it until January. Admittedly, Master's applications and end-of-term finals got the best of me, so I only started up studying again in January. I am a Canadian school applicant, so my cGPA and B3 is 3.80.

I have already been accepted to a law school, however my dream school has a LSAT 25th percentile of 163, a median lsat of 166 and a 75th percentile of 167, and a GPA 25th percentile of 3.77, median of 3.86, and a 75th percentile of 3.91, which is why I have been considering retaking the LSAT so many times as I do recognize that I am in their lower percentile. However, I do not want to have a third attempt on file without a significant increase (as in 167+) since I have heard this does not look good for this score and would want to save a third and final-ish attempt in the case that I decide to defer going to law school for another year, which would give me more time to study for a third attempt.

I have been pt-ing on average around 164-166 with a consistent average BR of 172-176. Though my two last pt’s were 163 and 159 (May 2020 and PT88 killed me! What was that LR and what was that RC???). Considering the January LSAT is next week for me and today’s the last day to withdraw, do you think it is worth retaking? I don’t want to risk having a lower or similar score as my last attempt.

my BR is showing me that there is a very likely potential to score in the high 160s, low 170s range if I just recognize the support a little better in the allotted time. but obviously I am not sure whether I can reasonably expect myself to suddenly improve that in a couple of days. though I can try, I suppose. this would be my last attempt to improve my score for the 2021 cycle. so that’s why I think an attempt would not be worth it if it’s not at least 3 points higher.

any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi everyone,

I am about to retake the LSAT in January and am hoping for a higher score than the first time I took it in July. 7Sage has helped me a lot. When I am practicing and drilling questions, I get a lot of them right. When I go to take a timed practice test, I seem to have hit a brick wall with my score, but I know I am capable of getting higher. Does anyone have any last minute advice on how to get past this mental block? Thanks so much!!

I keep getting sent to my syllabus in the middle of completing my Prep Test. I did an internet speed test, and my speed looks good. With the Jan 2021LSAT coming up, I am assuming there is just a lot of people on this website right now that are trying to complete the same Prep Tests. Is this something you all are experiencing as well? (it is good practice for the actual test, which may get disconnected from the proctor!)

Hey folks, I'm wondering if its okay to be reading outloud on the LSAT flex. I know there will be a proctor etc. so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to read an RC passage or LR stimuli outloud as long as you're alone in the room you're testing in. But I know this has been an issue for proctored college exams and other standardized tests so I am just curious if it also applies to the LSAT.

I just started 7Sage at the beginning of this week so I'm still familiarizing myself with the site, but I was in the middle of the Main Point/Conclusion lesson when I clicked next and it suddenly said I didn't have that subscription? And now my syllabus does not even have that lesson on it, even though I paid for the monthly Ultimate+. Did anyone else have this problem/ know how to help?

Hello, I have recently just started my studying and wanted to over the material of Main Point questions that are early in the logic section but now they will not show up unless I go to my notes. When I go the notes section and click on the link for a starred MP question, it says I do not have the plan for this material even though I just went over it. My plan is monthly by the way.

Hi everyone

It's been 7 months since I started studying for LSAT, my first PT i got 127 and the best one so far I got 150. I've been diagnosed with ADHD, and studying for this test with ADHD makes it 100X harder than it normally is. I get distracted so many times while reading the question, especially RC. It's been around 1.5 month that I have not improved at all, and I have lost my confidence. Has anyone struggling with similar problem (ADHD) has any advice for me?

There was a previous discussion on increasing Mac RAM storage capacity ahead of the Flex test and I can't find it anymore. I'm struggling to get within the parameters required for ProctorU - did anyone else see the thread recommendations? Many thanks!

Im currently having issues pertaining to Logic Games. I'm having issues in terms of which game board type I would apply depending on the stimulus. I'm not sure if I should do In/Out or Grouping or a mix of two depending on the situation is what I'm having issues with immensely. I haven't practiced the logic games section that much though in terms of the explanation videos JY provides. Do you think if I print the Logic Game questions out that are provided in the curriculum and doing them over and over again will help me identify which game board I use in the future on other questions? I would appreciate any guidance!

Hi all!

Does anyone know when LSAC will release new testing dates? I know that they have release the dates for January and April, but will there be any other test dates for 2021?

Hey all!

I'm taking the Jan flex next week and am shooting for a 160. I have been doing research and it appears that 54/76 points translates to a 160 on the flex. However, I was going through my Preptests on 7Sage and scored 54/76 on PT 81 which (on 7Sage) translated to a 158.

I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on which scoring scale is closer to the flex? Would love to know if anyone else has noticed something similar!

Hi!

Strange question, I know. I was granted a 50% time accomodation and recently realized that, with 53 min per section, I'll have to be sitting about 3 hours when you include the pre-test rituals with the proctor. Now, I have tiny blatter and can barely manage more than two hours without peeing. Since I was not granted any break time, I need to figure out a way to pee. Any suggestions? Will I be allowed to have a bucket next to me duirng the test? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Do you have to complete the online writing sample prior to your LSAT test date? Or is it ok to do the writing sample within the few days after you take the test? I'm taking the LSAT on Saturday, so if I should do my writing sample before then please let me know asap :) thanks everyone!

I am in panic mode - which I know isn't going to help the situation. I have been scoring in the low-mid 160s for months. I take my second LSAT next week and my last practice test was a 148, lower than the first PT I ever took! I get test anxiety already, so this isn't helping. Has anyone else experienced regression like this?

Hey, if you've gone through all of the CC i'd really appreciate some advice:

How long did it take you to go through it all? Would you change that if you could go back in time.

Did you go through it in the order as it is listed?

Did you go through all the CC before you started taking prep tests and timed sections?

Did you solve all the practice sets at the end of each sections as soon as you were done with the section or did you leave some for later?

Also, to anyone: what do you think of the way I've been studying.

First go through the lessons and watch the videos (while taking notes). If there is no video I'd just read through the article provided. But if there is a video I do not read ( i found they usually cover the same thing. Should I be reading everything? )

Then, I try solving the practice examples alone and follow that by watching JY's explanation to all of the examples as I solve them to build the thought process and logic.

Finally, I solve all the problems sets. I try to take them all timed but if I find myself struggling then I will take a few untimed. I BR the ones I am doubtful off but I am not sure if I should be BR every single question. I then watch JY's explanation on the questions I got wrong. Should I watch all the videos?

Am I being thorough enough or an I skipping certain important things?

Thank you in advance.
