Hi fellow LSATers,

I think I might have posted this question on Khan Academy, but I don't think I've ever heard back, so here it is:

Khan Academy has these 5 section practice tests that we can take for free online. Any of you know whether these tests are from the past LSAT exams, or whether they were created separately by Khan Academy for the practice purposes. If the former, do you know if there is a way for us to find out which PTs they are from?

Thanks!

Daniel

Hi Everyone,

I want to help others with understanding LR and would love to help people see improvement. I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year, and average around -3/-5 on LR and have scored in the upper 160s (167 highest) thus far. Obviously I am not a master at LR but am hoping to help people who are maybe just beginning see some things I wish I saw when I first started studying. Hoping we can improve together! Message me for details and if you want to get started!! :)

Hi peeps, I've been having big fluctuations in my PT performance. I'm a night owl, and have been forcing myself to get up early (and go to bed earlier) to start doing tests from 9:30am. I've also done tests in the afternoon, when I'm less stressed and more awake, the highest and lowest difference would be 165-153. I feel that even though I can get up even earlier in the morning and prepare for the test, the general stress I feel in the morning is just much worse. (I guess morning isn't really for me.) How can I manage/control my mornings better as a night owl?

I took the online writing yesterday, and I forgot to show both sides of the paper during the room examination recording. I showed it as soon as the test actually started, but I’m not sure if that will still count. I was just nervous, and I forgot to do it during the room examination. Should I contact LSAC on Monday and ask if this is still okay?

I just gave my 7th PT and I bombed it. PT 72 is my lowest score so far with a 153 actual score. I was scoring in mid 160s for my previous 3 prep tests so I don't really know what happened with this particular one. I'm planning on taking the test in October and targeting to give 1-2 Prep tests each week.

Any advice on how I should move ahead? LR is currently my weakest section and I'm in the midst of foolproofing LG.

Would really appreciate some advice from anyone who's been in this position!

How close does the problem set question structure and interface mimic the actual Digital LSAT? I am curious as I was thinking of ditching all my practice test books in order to test via problem sets. I figured I can just highlight each of the sections individually of the tests I would like to study. Any thoughts on this? Sorry in advance if this has already been answered or suggested.

Has anyone taken the online writing section? I took the test in July, but still haven't taken the writing. Can I take it anytime or is it only on the test date? I'm not sure if I missed it already

The answers bar/graph thing that appears below each of the video explanation examples in the CC (prior to the problem sets) is not viewable when clicked on. For example, here: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/birds-eat-all-day-na-question/?ss_completed_lesson=1781

I've tried reloading the page, reseting my browser, and using a different device (my iPad instead of my laptop) and nothing is working. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to troubleshoot. Thanks!

The digital tester for problem sets is live now! We know a lot of you have been waiting for this—thank you for your patience while we worked on this!

Where are the old PDFs?

Since LSAT is 100% digital testing now, the old PDF option is hidden by default. To see the old PDF options, tap the little PDF icon just under the bottom left corner of the tester.

How to Create Problem Sets

Just like before, you can create custom problem sets with any of the questions you have access to on your account. The difference is that you can take them using the digital tester, and all the problem sets you create are saved and tracked on your account. You can see a list of all the problem sets you have started/created on the Problem Sets page. Problem sets from the curriculum have book icons next to their names.

On that page, tap on "Create Custom Problem Set" to create a problem set. The interface is the same as the old "Question Bank" interface (but now it's faster!).

How to Take Single Sections

To do a single section, you make a custom problem set with the questions for the one section that you want to take. If you aren't familiar with the custom problem set interface, here are more detailed instructions on how to do this:

Drills are deprecated

The "Drills" lessons in Ultimate+ are now deprecated and will be deleted from the curriculum soon. You can easily recreate them with the Problem Sets page, so they don't serve a purpose anymore. For now, until they are deleted, you can still access them so that if you're in the middle of them you still know your current progress.

Please let us know if you see anything strange or broken!

I started studying back in November of 2016. In three years since then I have taken the test multiple times but a score of 170 has remained elusive. Now I am trying for another attempt, I want to ensure I get there.

The problem I am facing is that a score of -1, 0 in logic games is not coming. I consistently go -4 and sometimes even blow up as well.

I have done all I can that includes fool proofing 5-36 and more. I have done every logic game in tests 5-82 multiple times. And fool proofed them. so lack of practice cannot be the reason. I have watched JY videos of all logic games from 1-82. I try to make inferences upfront. Try to follow what JY suggests in core curriculum. I have tried to create set of best practices. Yet I have failed to reach -1 which a lot of people can do easily.

One of biggest problem is scoring less on unseen games. if I do a game set that I have done a long time ago, I will do it good. But an unseen new game set, would yield a score that is bad.

Now I am asking you? What else I can do? Not giving up but what is out there that I haven't tried and can try that can yeaild better results? Please share?

I just discovered the blog and it seems to have tons of interesting articles.

But I find that it has a really annoying layout. It would be nice if you can see the article titles all at once instead of having to scroll through every article page after page, or even to filter articles by category.

I was just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this, or if there are any plans to organize it?

I'm about 90% done the Ultimate course and decided to do a PT yesterday because I was getting tired of watching videos and doing practice sets, and I can't believe I got 177 as an actual score!! Didn't change any answers for the blind review so the score is the same. It was for Prep Test #36 which is the first one I've done since starting the course 2 months ago.

Before starting the course, I got 163 on the June 2007 test and then 164 on PT54 so I feel like it's a huge improvement! Granted I've done some studying in the past (2 months in 2017) so I wasn't taking the previous PTs blind.

Still in shock because I felt like there were so many hard questions that I wasn't sure about but this is such a huge confidence boost, so I wanted to share my happiness and encourage everyone to get the course if you haven't already. Happy studying!!

I’ve been averaging a 164/165 recently and I’ve taken around 16 PT’s. How often should I balance drilling/taking pt’s for the october LSAT?

How did the proctors start everyone at the same time with the Digital LSAT? Also, did you find it easy to use the stylus on the tablet for highlighting sentences?

Hi everyone.

I am needing some advice on how to improve reading comp. To give you an idea of where I am in my prep, here is the breakdown of my last PT:

LR: -4

LR: -6

LG: -3

RC: -12

It's pretty clear to me where I need to be focusing most of my energy. I have another full year before I am going to take the test (if I need to stretch my test date out). I have also gone through the curriculum trying to employ JY's memory method and drilling older PT RC sections, and the LSAT trainer's "reading for reasoning structure" method. Additionally, most of the time I am rushing to finish the last passage. No strategy or drilling has resulted in a significant jump thus far.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to give me any advice on this section. It really has discouraged me, since employing the blind review method and drills have immensely helped my LR score, and fool-proofing is of course the component behind my LG score. I just feel helpless when it comes to making a significant improvement in RC, but there has to be some main strategy to address the section with.

The LSAT question bank is no longer showing up under "Resources" on the website or mobile app. Is this no longer going to be a function on 7Sage? I found it really helpful to sort by question type and difficulty. Instead I only see "LSAT Explanations" which... I think is new, but not sure.

Thanks all!

I've taken 16 PTS so far with an average score of 164. I started out with a diagnostic of 159, and have managed to pretty consistently score in the mid-160 range. However, one practice test I took (PT48) I scored a 172 and that has been my highest score to date. On logical reasoning, on average I'm missing 4 questions, on logic games 6 questions, and on reading comprehension 5 questions. I'm unclear as to my best plan of action for the next couple weeks leading up to the September LSAT. Should I focus on logic games, getting that to a minus 0 before focusing on the other sections? Or should I continue to PT once/twice a week while drilling (mainly logic games) in between?

Even just for superficial reasons - to make the problems look more like the real format? What about explanations where JY uses only the tools available on the tablet (underline, 3 highlight colors)?

I have been using the 7sage iOS app for quite some time, however when I went to check the grader section it automatically makes the app crash. I tried to delete and re-downlod the app and the same issue persists. Everything else except the grader works. I am confused as I was using the grader function just fine up until yesterday. Has anyone else experienced this same issue and/or know why this is the case?

Is it a glitch that the timer stops until you press "okay" for the 5 min left... I looked down for a few minutes to do game board preps. When I looked up it said that there was 5 minutes left and the timer stopped. Is this a glitch? Or is this going to be how it is on the actual LSAT? Bc... if thats the case, then you could theoretically get more than 35 minutes on the LSAT....

Hey everyone,

I was in one of the test centers that got cancelled on July 15 and finally took my LSAT today. I’m planning to sit for the September exam as well. How long of a break should I take before I begin studying again?

Hi everyone :)

I'm trying to annotate my 7sage PDF downloads on a Samsung tablet, but not having much luck. I've tried uploading the pdfs to Adobe, OneNote, Squid, and several others. After entering my pw, I am able to view the pdf, but when I attempt to edit I get a message along the lines of "tool not available because the doc is password protected". Has anyone else found a remedy to this problem? Do not want to print out all the worksheets, and want to get comfortable working digitally.

Thanks,

CS
