I will be taking the November Flex and am planning to take about ~8 PTs before then. I've been plateauing at ~169, and thought I'd try BRing with someone else to step up my review game. Please let me know if interested!

I just got an email from LSAC saying my score preview is available but I don’t know where to see my score??

Hi! Does anyone have any notes on a google doc or word document they are willing to share? My computer crashed and my notes were lost :(

I see that LSAC has put up the dates that the November LSAT will be administered with them being

Saturday, November 7, 2020

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

Wednesday, November 11, 2020

I was wondering if they sent out an email for people to register for that specific date. Im registered for the LSAT however I haven't received any information since I registered.

Does anyone know what time scores are released tomorrow?

Anyone wanna look at each other's personal statements and give some feedback? DM me if interested.

Hi All,

As displayed by the title, I am unsure how to proceed with my study strategy. Yes, I have seen the post-cc study webinar by Josh. I have taken two PTs since completing the CC and have been hovering around the high 140s (148 most recently) under timed conditions and the low 160s (162 most recently) for BR. Although admissions in my location have been complicated by coronavirus, my goal remains to obtain a 165. That would put me in Phase I, meaning foolproofing, drilling and returning to the curriculum should take up most of my time. However, I have a few qualms with the advice given in the webinar and no one is posting on the discussion over there so I thought I would create an independent discussion.

In essence, I feel that I need to take more PTs in order to seriously gauge where I am at with this test, which is obviously contrary to the advice given in that webinar. I have taken a few PTs, and have felt that both time pressures and familiarity with LSAT questions are the main obstacles for me right now. I have revisited the CC and tried drilling specific LR questions and RC passages, however, I have found that my memory of these questions has limited any progress that can be garnered from them. Ultimately, I do not believe I have the data to be justifiably drilling specific questions - I am scoring badly in LR and RC in general. LG is the only section in which I am seeing value in drilling old games, which obviously makes sense given it is the more formulaic section.

This isn't a knock against 7sage - I understand this may partly be because I am on a Premium subscription, so I have not had the exposure to the more difficult problem sets that most 7sagers have by the time they finish the CC. I simply feel as though I have reached the point of diminishing returns with the CC and am still at a stage of general incompetence with this test (lol). Hence, I need to take more PTs and seek out other study materials in between, before I can properly identify my weaknesses. I have subsequently purchased the LSAT Trainer and have been working through that in concert with foolproofing LG.

tl:dr I am not gaining much from revisiting the CC or drilling old questions, is there any alternate strategy beyond PT+BR? (scoring in the high 140s :/)

Hey Sage community, I'm looking for some advice to shave off a few more points, and hopefully start to wind my long LSAT journey to a close. I have been studying since mid-January and went from a diagnostic of 137 to a current average of 156, with BR being in the mid 160's. I am really proud of this jump and plan to study for as long as it takes to average in the low-mid 160's. I feel really close, but I still need to shave off a few points in all areas. Flaw questions are my worst in LR and analyzing phrases in the context is my worst for RC, so if anyone has advice in these areas it would be appreciated. When it comes to LG i'm still really slow and often miss five or six questions but get them all right during BR. I'm wondering if I should go back and do some more drilling for speed, or if that will just come with more PT's and confidence?

Any advice, success stories, or words of encouragement are helpful! Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know, when the registration for the November lsat will be open to select your date and time?

I work full time and have found that I extremely burnt out when I get home, and have little time to put all of my energy into studying. I try to do two PTs a week, but sometimes can only fit in one. I am planning on taking both the November 2020 and January 2021 tests. Anyone else out there struggling with their schedules like I am, so I don't feel so lonely?

Hi guys,

I started studying for the LSAT again a few months ago. And this time I took my time with the CC. I did my first PT over the weekend and got a 146. Although it is a low score, I have improved from my original score. I wanted to know how I should proceed from here? I wrote down all the questions that I got wrong and wrote down my weaknesses. I am planning to tackle each weakness per week- and then do a practice test over the weekend. Keep doing that till I hit my target score (which is 160-165). I wanted some input on this strategy? Or should I do something different? I am scheduled for the January test, If I go by this strategy, do you think I would be able to achieve my target score? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks 😊

Hi all- so, I'm taking the November LSAT-Flex and have been scoring pretty consistently in the 160-165 range. My goal score is a 165, which I realize isn't too ambitious compared to what I have been reading about in the discussion forums, but the biggest reason for my score fluctuations is the logic games sections and the reading comprehensions. I usually get -3 to -5 in LR depending on the day, but sometimes I will get -0 in RC and sometimes I will get -9 in RC, same with LG. I only have three weeks left, what should I be focusing on? Are there specific lessons in the curriculum I should be reviewing? I really don't know how to set up this last study schedule. I have about 1-2 hours a day during the week and then unlimited time on weekends.

*Please do not advise me to reschedule; I have already done that twice.

Hi Everyone,

I'm on here hoping to get some suggestions for which PT's to cover in my limited four weeks until the November LSAT-Flex. I finished the CC about three weeks ago and I am writing the November LSAT-Flex (may write the January as well depending on how it goes). Since finishing, I have been using PTs 1 - 36 for LG foolproofing. Concurrently, I have been reading Ellen Cassidy's The Loophole book to improve and solidify LR skills – I am on track to finish the textbook by the end of this week.

So far, in this order I have taken PT 37 (Actual Score: 153), PT 36 (Actual Score 157; BR Score: 162), PT 38 (Actual Score: 161; BR Score: 167). Per that schedule I have only been completing one PT a week, and focusing on the LR book (and doing Basic Translation Drills) and Foolproofing LR. I am pleased with my progress and have learned a lot from the forum/webinars this week I am excited to put into practice (ex. LG tiered-skipping strategy, LR Cookie Cutter review, LG "if" strategy etc). I am hoping to ramp up to two PTs a week (while drilling in the days between) in the next three weeks leading up to the test which only leaves about 6 PTs. My question is, which 6 PTs should I do? Should I do the most recent PTs 7Sage has (PT 84 - 89)? Or should I try to do a PT from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, two from 80s? And I may write the test again, so I would just have to work around the PTs I complete now, during Nov - Jan study if that is the case.

I know the test slightly changes throughout the PTs. I've heard from friends say that post-PT 70 LR is wordier/more confusing, post-PT 55 RC comparative passages are introduced (which I have not done yet), and that LG get easier near the end? I feel like it would be ideal to just do all the PTs chronologically, throughout time, but in reality I have 3 weeks.

For context, my diagnostic was a 146 (June 2020), my goal score is a 165.

Thank you for any input!

Will you be notified if your writing sample is flagged for review or will your status just continue to say results pending? And did people get their results back exactly a week after taking it or is it 7 business days? I took mine on the 13th and don’t know if I’ll get my results in time to see my score on Friday

Blueprint explanations vs JY? what do y’all think?

Hi everyone,

I've been practice testing in the 155-157 range for a couple of weeks now and my goal score is mid 160's for November. Any tips you guys can share would be greatly appreciated .

Thank you.

Anyone else worried that the election results will totally distract them from the November LSAT haha!?

Will there be a heads up given in advance as to when we will be able to schedule our Novemeber FLEX, or will LSAC just tell us when we are suddenly able to do so? Any idea as to when?

I was recently approved for 1.5x time on the November LSAT-FLEX. A PDF official letter of approval was posted on my account and emailed to me. I'm wondering if I need to print this out and show the proctor on exam day or if I need to do anything further to make sure I get my accommodations on test day?

I also will need to take my medication half way through the exam (small pill) and I'm wondering if this will be an issue while taking the LSAT-FLEX? I know there's a strict rule about having things on your desk. I've emailed LSAC but no response.

Thank you!

For Oct LSAT, I took a PT almost every day to get my stamina up, and I'm pretty sure that I (definitely) reached burn out mode. What have you guys found is the sweet spot of PTs to take in a week? I believe I'm starting a full-time remote job soon, so that's also a consideration for me. Thx!

After straddling the 170 threshold forever, I finally made some progress hitting 174/180 BR on PT88... this with a worse than normal RC performance. Feels like something new definitely just clicked in terms of timing/sequence strategy (maybe to be more precise, the application of strategy) especially in LR. All thanks to 7sage analytics and review methods! I kind of felt stuck and discouraged for a while, so I just wanted to put it out there that when you feel like this, just take a break, reset, and push forward.

Also, PT88 is just excellent. Just finishing up my deep-after-BR-review and in my opinion, you are doing yourself a disservice if you test without having done this PT.

Hello!

So I am preparing (again!) to take the February LSAT (or even delay to June) and I feel I have a fairly thorough approach.

Years ago, I found some success with the PowerScore bibles. Fewer years ago, I thoroughly enjoyed 7Sage’s methods but felt I wasn’t fully prepared to grasp some of the more advanced methods. So, here is my plan (I like seeing different perspectives/approaches for questions to find what’s best for me):

Phase 1: I am restarting my study with the LSAT Trainer to provide a broad foundation.

Phase 2: I will then move to a more focused approach with the LG Bible, LR Bible, and Manhattan RC book. Then the LR Loophole book.

Phase 3: Finally, I will move to 7Sage after I have developed a strong foundation and will be able to appreciate the more advanced methods (such as conditional chaining).

How should I incorporate the practice tests? Ideally, I would like to save the tests that I can for after working through this material.

One one hand, I feel like I should do some tests as I work through each phase. Maybe at the very least take one at the end of each phase?

On the other hand, I know the importance of drilling and simply reading the information is not going to be enough for me. I’m hopeful that the drills and examples in the chapters will be helpful but I am doubtful they will be enough.

I think at a steady pace it will take me about 3 months to get through this material which would leave me with four months of practice tests until February. With thorough blind review, I think my limit will be two practice tests a week.

So, what say you?!!! I appreciate any and all responses.

My diagnostic was a 144 but I would like to blame my cat for a few missed points.

Thanks for reading my thesis and best of health to you all.

Does anybody else get super anxious when they try to time their PTs? I find it super distracting and my mind keeps thinking about the time rather than the question i'm reading.

For those who have taken the flex, did y'all encounter any games that didn't fit into the other categories (e.g. the Misc games of the 1990s)? In general, how'd would y'all rate the difficulty of LG section in flex?

Hi! So I have narrowed down my weak spots in LR and want to make the most efficient use of my time before the Nov LSAT.

How would you suggest is the best way to drill LR and blind review my drills?

Also, for anyone writing in Nov, what does your study schedule 3 weeks out look like? And for anyone who has written, what are some study tips leading up to test day you would recommend?

Thank you!!
