So I just took PT 132 (new format) and I am frustrated because I recognized almost all of the LR questions either from drills or JY's video lessons. It is my understanding that these "new" tests are just sections from old tests put together for the sake of practicing the new format, but these are the same old tests that 7sage pulls from for lessons. Obviously you cannot preview the test before starting it, and I want to know that the test I will be taking is entirely new beforehand since I feel like that test is now entirely useless in assessing my score.

Is there any way to know which of these new tests are actually comprised of all clean questions? Has 7sage looked into this and created a way to avoid this issue? Has anyone else experienced this and found a way around it?

Finally broke the 160s!!!

I've been feeling like I was going to end up stuck in the 150s forever, after consistently scoring around 153-156 (I'm taking the August LSAT). I took a preptest today and ended up with a 164!!! I could not be happier, as my goal for the actual exam has been at least a 160- now it finally feels attainable :) time to keep drilling + aim for consistently scoring in the 160s!

3 Section Format

I was wondering if there was a way to take a 3-section test similar to the one they offered with the last format. I essentially just want to take a PT with RC LR LR, just complements my studying style better

I have been studying on and off for the LSAT since January but have really started studying in May. I am registered for the August LSAT but I want to cancel since I am not close to my goal score. My BR is closer to my goal but I struggle a lot with timing.

However, I didn't know if it would be beneficial to take the test to get a feel for what its like to be in the testing center. I know you can score preview and cancel. But I'm not sure how admissions officers view cancellations. I plan to take again in September and then October if needed. I am applying this cycle and now I feel like I am behind. Any advice or help?

Taking the test in August. Just finished my last practice test and I got a 168, before that a 169, and before that a 167. It feels like I just can't break into the 170 no matter what I do. Should I just be hyper-focusing now on the questions I'm getting wrong and set aside everything else?

Hey everyone!

So I'm contemplating on whether I should re-write the diagnostic test. I wrote one a couple of months back (July, I think). Scored a 153 (LG: 15/23, LR 1 and 2: 15/25, RC: 20/27) . However, I sort of lost track of time as I was taking the test -- I got really involved with the questions because I found them intriguing and just wanted to spend time trying to figure them out. I think I probably went 10 - 15 mins over on each section. Just an estimate though, not entirely sure.

I was contemplating on re-writing it before starting the CC. Should I? I honestly would prefer it if I wrote it after completing the CC (partly because I feel like it might be a bit demoralizing). I know people are divided on this so I'm not entirely sure if that's a good decision. Thoughts?

Remember in "Some and Most Relationship" lesson, JY mentions that "some" and "many" can be used interchangeably because they both have subjective definition. Then how about "few"? Can I treat "few" as same as "some" and "many" since it's also has a subjective definition? Then when I negate it it would be "none" correct? Thanks everyone!!! :D

Hello everyone,

After reading the LSAC page on the LSAT writing section, it mentions that I will be able to write my essay beginning at least 8 days prior to my in-person or virtual test date. However, everywhere online, I hear of people saying that anyone can write their essay after their test day. Is this true? Where do I find this information?

How do I skip questions

I often run into questions I have already seen on LawHub when doing drills. I would like to skip them, but if I don't provide an answer then these questions are added to questions I got wrong. Is it possible to skip questions?

Just got my first 180!

First PT was a 164, then a 168 - was stuck in the mid 160s for awhile, then broke through to low 170s, then mid 170s then just today I got a 180.

Feels really good although I want to keep drilling to ensure that my real score lands somewhere close to this.

Any advice

I am planning on taking the November LSAT and I have been scoring in the 150's on practice tests, is it possible for me to get in the high 160's by November? Not to mention I have no commitments work or school wise, so I have all day and time to study up until test dates. Any advice or takes?

Any advice

Any advice or insight on breaking out of the high 150s low 160s? Last 5 PTs taken weekly have been 160, 162, 160, 158, and 158. Been going through the curriculum blind reviewing and reviewing PTs the next day. Also haven’t started studying reading comprehension nor do I review it during the review process of the test. Looking to take in September and trying to get 165+

Hi everyone,

This is my first time taking the LSAT, started my diagnostic in the 140-145 range, haven't taken a practice test yet, but I am planning on doing that in the next 1-2 weeks. I am preparing for the November LSAT, but based on questions that I have been drilling, it has been fluctuating for me getting 5/6 right on some days and 4/6 on others (Ex. for Strengthen Medium sometimes I get 6/6 and other days 4/6).

What is a tip/trick that has been helping you out or that "A-hah" moment ?

How long did it take you guys to fully master a question type like Strengthen and/or assumption, only getting 2-3 or less wrong?

I officially started studying end of May, how soon have people started seeing results? I am aiming for a high 160 before November. Is this attainable studying a few hours everyday? Let me know your guys' experiences or takes on this:)

Took a PT yesterday morning and scored my personal best, which I was super happy about, but then as the day went on, I just kinda became more and more jaded about it:

  • "Man it's gonna be so hard to get that score again on test day."
  • "August isn't going to be as easy bc they're going to beef up LR to make up for the lack of LG."
  • "ugggh I don't want to get back to studying because I know I'm not to going to immediately be as sharp as I was during that test."
  • -Almost feels like a "World Series hangover" if that makes any sense: people say that the records of teams who make the World Series sharply decline the next year (see: the Rangers and Diamondbacks' current records) bc it's just hard to get locked in for a regular season game in the middle of July after having constant adrenaline shots in the postseason.

    Can't tell if it's just the ebb and flow of general self-doubt involved in prepping for the LSAT or the washing out of the massive adrenaline associated w taking a PT and getting a really good score. Probably a bit of both. Just curious if anyone's ever noticed the same thing in their studies?

    Hello, I took my second prep test today and took the digital version from may 2020. However, I am taking the test in September after the logic games are removed, so I took it under the "current format" The test had three LR sections and one reading comprehension section.

    I am wondering how it works when obsolete tests are changed to current ones.

    I am also wondering if this affects the difficulty of the test as I have not studied even half of the LR question formats but I did ridiculously well, far better than my diagnostic test.

    Thanks for any feedback!
