This is completely subjective, but from your experience what are some of the hardest sections you have encountered? I want my to test myself on the most difficult the LSAT has to offer. For example, I felt the Logic Game section for Test Prep A was tough as was the Reading Comp for 38.
Hi all, Is anyone experiencing the same thing as I did. My videos do not play and it seems is across the board. I was unable to play the video on Quiz 3 in "finding pseudo sufficient assumption last night. I had also randomly tried other videos, and they don't play either. This morning too. Thanks,

Hi fellas,
I’ve been studying for the paper version of the LSAT and have very used to certain notation strategies for RC and LR that unfortunately cannot be done on the digital LSAC. I’m sure a lot of people are in this same boat
I’m starting this thread to ask: how are you adapting? What notation strategy do you find most intuitive?
I’ve tried: highlighting the conclusion with yellow. Underlining premises.
Nothing beats being able to circle indicators etc and drawing them back to important points though. And still can’t figure it out for RC.
Anyway, what has worked best for you? Hopefully, our collective sharing of strategies might be able help each other work through the transition!
I would like to study 15-20 hours per week and sometimes struggle to keep focused. So I created a group me Lsat accountability group if anyone is interested in joining sign up for Group Me and inbox me your number. Let's help each other meet our LSAT goals.
Anyone else have no life and is about to lose all friends because of LSAT?
I am curious how others balance studying and personal life?
I’ve noticed my PT score gets significantly lower when PT is the first thing I do in the morning. (Confirmed by the two PTs this week:P) There was 10 points difference between the one I did at 8:30am sharp, and around 11am cause I was lazy and BRed LG from the previous PT on the day of the next PT. Surprisingly I scored a lot lot better after BRing LG before PT, which took me around two hours.
Would two hours of pre-studying before the test be too much for the actual test? I found it helpful but at the same time I’m only doing 4 sections, so it might be different on the real thing. Maybe get too tired by 5th section?
I’m thinking about implementing warm up to my pt routine, so would like some suggestion on what’s the optimal amount.
So wish the tests were all at 1:30PM... why lsac... even proctors wouldn’t want to wake up before 7AM... nobody should be forced to wake up before 7am... just wish everyone’s lifestyle would shift a few hours later so we (more like I,) could be more happy and productive. It’s not like we still live in a time where we have to align our everyday life to sunlight... no more...
Hi all,
I applied to several other schools, but I narrowed it down to these 4 schools:
Texas Tech (no scholarship offer yet) *COA is about $26k/year
U of Denver (a little less than $$, 2.3 conditional)
SMU (WL)
A&M (WL)
I am a Texas native, but I would be ok with moving to Colorado or staying in Texas for law school and work. I would not want to be in Texas forever though, I'd love to experience and work at another state at some point. I feel like staying in Texas for law school would be the safer route since I am more familiar with the state and have family here. I'll also have close to $50k in savings before I begin.
One thing that puts me off about U of Denver compared to Tech is after calculating my debt from the accesslex website, I think i'd have around $50-70k more debt at Denver and the average salaries for first year grads from Tech and Denver are about the same, according to their stats. Thoughts between Denver vs Tech? Any help would be appreciated! :D
Just finished all the lessons. Would the best thing for me to do is to take PT after PT?
Is 2-3 PT a week good or too much? I study a min of 5 hours a day and I’m hoping to get a score of 169 in September.
Also, when should I start drilling the lessons again?
For anyone who is close to done with their prep, did you follow the schedule 7sage generates perfectly or did you tweak it? I started the free trial last week (5 months from my anticipate test date) and I was wondering if the schedule is comprehensive enough. I am shooting for getting the Ultimate. I like this prep the best out of the other ones I have seen. I can pull off atleast 20 hours per a week to prep as well.
For those who are far along in their LSAT journey and used 7Sage to get there, what do you wish you knew before starting the core curriculum? I'm open to tips, tricks, general reflections, etc. I'm going to (officially) start my LSAT journey in a few weeks. I'm taking 7 months off to do nothing but focus on studying for the January LSAT. I love hearing from folks who have more experience than me. What do you wish you knew when you were starting out? Excited to be a part of this community!
Hey all, hope everyone’s doing great. Would appreciate some input here. Back in February 2018 I took my first diagnostic at this LSAT course I was taking, and I scored a 140. The instructor told us not to guess on this first PT so we could get a solid idea of our weaknesses or something like that. Anyways, fast forward to today and I’m scoring 157 consistently. I’ve become curious about what my diagnostic score would have been had I guessed. I guess I want to know this in order to accurately assess how much I’ve improved thus far. (Feeling really discouraged about still not being to break the 160’s after studying for this test for legit forever lol)
Would appreciate if anyone could give an educated guess about what I would have likely scored had I guessed!
I know this is a weird question lol, and probably a dumb thing to ask, but I’d appreciate any input. Thanks!
I'm gonna be as candid and honest as possible for time purposes as well as for authenticity. I am and have been really struggling with the LSAT. I know that's not special but the amount of time I have been struggling with it is becoming debilitating. I started my journey last June.
While there were a few months that I stopped studying for necessary reasons, for at least a very solid 6 months let say, I have been grinding it out. I'm a very committed person who prides himself on maintaining a positive attitude--someone who emphasizes continued effort over attachment to outcomes.
I am here now, less than a month out from writing my second LSAT and am finding myself continually having negative and defeated thoughts. It's not only distracting from the work of studying, it's becoming paralyzing. My story is not unique in regards to having a goal set and wanting to bridge the gap between now and when I accomplish it. What does feel isolating is not maybe being cut out for this.
Not like any one person can decide for another that, "yes, you're right, you're not cut out for this", but in these dark times when there's little to no progress after a lot of focused effort, your curiosity over whether you are capable of achieving a set goal and it's effects on your life's plans really takes over.
I am writing this for a couple reasons. I want others who have or are maybe experiencing something similar to know they are not alone. Second, I want people to know that moving forwards while simultaneously acknowledging self doubt is important and maybe helpful. I'm not giving up, I'll continue to put sincere efforts into this goal, and I'm committed to writing this exam in a few weeks.
Hi folks:
Continuing our weekly series of group review sessions in will be hosting a review of pt 74 this Sunday at 10:00 am eastern.
We will cover all sections of this test. To get the most out of this session please complete pt 74 beforehand and review your answers but don't necessarily check your answers. If you are having issue with a particular question we can review as a group.
Meeting link:
In regards to PT31 Game 2 question 8, if the rule states /A and/B —-> C, then the contrapositive would be /C —-> A or B. My question is, can both A and B be in (I.e. at least one is in) or is it just either A or B, not both. Thank you!
I just started 7sage so I'm still getting familiar with the website. I've seen several comments that people are doing time sections and I think I would rather do that as well in addition to doing weekly practice test. But how are you guys doing the time sections does 7sage provide this or is this something I have to do on my own?
After 5 weeks of 159~162, I finally scored 167 on PT59!!!! Aaaaaahhhhhhaahahahahahahahh
This is so exciting!!! I was starting to doubt myself because scoring 161 consistently for over a month did damage my self-esteemmmmmm......
Ahhhhhhahaaahahahahahahah
Will have to take another PT to confirm whatever happened was not just an outlier... but I’m happy for now!!
Is the best way to increase BR score to redo CC?
My average BR score is 170, but want to reach at least 175 for BR.
Hi, does anyone know the test dates for Asia in the latter half of this year? Or is it undetermined for now?
Could someone please post the podcast where several high scorers talk about they're daily habits in the few weeks leading up to the test? I can't find it easily by searching, and last time I listened to it when it was too late. I'd love to hear it again. thanks! #help
This question may have been posted previously in regards to science, but as somebody who studied liberal arts I find the economics and science questions in logical reasoning and reading comp way more challenging because I have to take extra time just to understand the content otherwise I end up not understanding entirely which leads me to the wrong answer. I read a bit of science and economics on my own but I was wondering if anybody has any tips for this? Publications to read etc?
Hi,
I am having trouble regarding timed pt and anxiety issue.
So when I do full timed-pt, my score is 160-167 but in BR, I constantly hit 173+.
This huge difference sucks since everytime I saw questions without timing going, it is not that difficult (I miss easy questions very often under timed)
I feel stucked and anxious whenever I am doing timed pt and that happens just before I took my first real LSAT and it continues.
Currently, I am doing one timed pt for one week.
I do not want to push myself so harsh to alleviate burnout status.
What should I do?
Hello all, I would like to be able to participate in some live Webinars, but being that I am relatively new to this gig, have no idea how to find out about them before they happen. So, can someone please let me know where to go to see a list of what's coming up? Thank you so much!!
The provided link has maybe not all, but many of the answers to concerns that I've been stressing over. Hopefully this helps ease some minds !! Sure helped mine (As much can really be done)
I know this has been discussed a lot over the years, but what are the latest thoughts on the best watch to use that is allowed? I know I can set my regular analog wristwatch to 12, but even the small anxiety of doing that after each section seems like too much. I know people like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JVP0LE/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but I don't love having to watch the bezel since I'm not used to it. Does anyone know if the 180 watch or these, which are basically the same thing:
https://www.amazon.com/Perfect-Score-Watch-Version-LSAT/dp/B077T47QQ3/ref=cts_wa_1_vtp
have been banned? I see conflicting reports online, and I'm not even sure if we can trust a phone call to LSAC because when I called them to ask if we could bring 2 highlighters, they said no and I walked right into the test with two highlighters. If it's still allowed, I think it might be the best one for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Is it just me but I cant seem to review the answers after I've done the practice questions...
I used to be able to see them but suddenly I can't see it. When I clicked Answers, it would just be a blank white page.
