Has anyone gone into an LSAT or PT not intending to get to the last 5 questions? Studying for 4 months and my PT scores are below where I'd like them to be -- taking August and October test. I'm able to get 90% accuracy if I'm 10-20 seconds over the question target time on average (difficulty level doesn't seem to make a difference).

I know it would be ideal to naturally increase speed with accuracy but that's not the world I'm living in this week. I would save enough time to make strategic "guesses" at the end, but I'm thinking I'd rather miss the 5 last questions vs 7-10 throughout because I'm freaked out trying to finish the section. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone done this?

I have done 18 prep tests and I guess I did not realize that there were only a limited number available. I only have one left to do and since 7Sage reflects the prep tests that LawHub has I really have none left since the earlier tests I have used most the questions in drilling. Are there other resources that I can access full prep tests? My scores have been extremely volatile ranging from 163 to 155 with the RC sections as the biggest influence. I take the LSAT the 9th of this month and was hoping to try and gain more consistency in my scores.

Bugs in taking PTs and Drills

Hi guys! Is anyone else experiencing the bug I'm currently seeing in the New 7Sage? I'm presently taking PrepTest 126 and am in the second section of the PT; the stimulus periodically scrolls up automatically.

Additionally, sometimes when I'm doing drills, my webpage will automatically refresh and force me to look at the first question, regardless of which question I'm on.

If anyone has any advice, please don't hesitate to let me know. This is my first time making a discussion post, so please be nice haha :)

I have taken 10 PTs, over the last 2 months, and eliminating outlier of 156, EVERY SINGLE PT has been between a 159 and 162. I felt bad at the beginning, and then thought I was getting better, and now have felt poor on these last couple of PTs again, this is worse than jumping around. Spending 3 hours a day to score in the range of 4 points is ridiculous. I have the august LSAT coming up in 2 weeks. I've been studying 3 hours everyday, I've tried changing up strategies for LR, going faster at the beginning, slower at the end, but this is still just giving me the same curve of wrong ACs.

Starting Over

I took the June LSAT and didn't get the score I wanted. Any advice from anyone taking it a second time on where to start and how to restudy?

And all of my progress from the old 7sage format is gone.. including preptests so that's super fun... oh well!

Deleted my subscription

Hey! I really do love the new website format. The only issues I’m having are that I can’t log into the app, and when I try linking my old 7sage with the current one, it won’t send over my subscription that I’m paying for. Is there any way to change that?

Highlighting Tactics for Practice Problems

How do people use the three different colors for marking up an LR question?

Personally, I try to switch between colors, highlighting based on the most basic information (e.g. "boys played") and then I try to highlight the descriptor words (e.g. "tall boys who spoke french played forever").

However, I feel like I am only utilizing two colors and sometimes my methods can become over inclusive. Very curious to hear about other people's experiences!

149 or 152?

I took an offer test, 111, on lawhub and scored 13/26,17/25,16/26 with a raw score of 46. Lawhub is saying I got a 149 but when I enter my raw score on sites it says 152,153. Which is it???

I know i need to study more

Like the title suggests, I want to try to give myself more time with the harder questions.

I was thinking of moving my 10 Lr in 10 minutes to 15 in 15, leaving 20 minutes for 16-25.

My new strategy would be:

1-15 in 15 mins (1 min per)

16-22 in 13 mins (1:50 per)

23-25 + Review in 7 mins (1:30 per question, accounting for the PFs/PRs, and 2:30 mins for review, which could be alloted to 1-15 or 16022 if they're especially challenging)

Today I scored a 161/162 for the 5th time in 10 PTs, most of my others have been about the same range, 159/160. Today's 161 was the best I've done on a PT across all 4 sections, -6 (RC), -4 (LR), -6 (LR), -6 (LR). To get a 165+, you need to get 14 or less incorrect; Today was -18 (-6 x 3), but was the best cumulative 4 section score I've gotten. I have found myself improving drastically in drilling, following close to target time results, I'll do drills of my weakest type, 4 and 5 star NA/SA/Weakening, and get very, very few wrong. But when it comes time to test, I feel like I find it very hard to get the 5 star Q's right, in drilling I have no problem with them (comparatively). Still, maybe due to the mental fatigue of an entire section, I find myself getting almost every question (~90-95% accuracy 1-4 stars) right up until the 5 stars, and then have my sections fall apart (specifically in LR) from 17-25. What should I do to remedy this? I drill 15 LRs and aim for ~18-20 minutes target time, and 2 passage RCs ~17-19 minutes target time.

What did others do to break out of this pre-165 bump. I take the august in 2 weeks, my hope is that I can put it all together before then and get a 165, if not, my more reasonable test for this achievement is september.

I know of some LSAT demon strategies, that I've read recently, where some people say go for 100% accuracy, guess on the last, this is surely interesting. But I've been trying to do, and do successfully, 10 questions in 10 minutes, and then 15 in 25. I think I'm going to change my strategy to 15 questions in 15 minutes, and then leave 20 for the last 10, as I feel myself needlessly dragging my feet through 11-15.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Analytics Q

Is there anyway to "mute" some of my older PTs so I can see a more updated list of my priorities? I don't necessarily want to delete the older ones - I just want to see my weak areas now vs. then

Today the sign up for the august lsat opens, but the remote option which i am taking does not open till july 24/25th, i signed up for strongly preferred remote, will I get an email when the remote scheduling opens? Or will i get an email every time a new day opens remote and in person? Or do i not get an email at all and have to do something else? I dont want to miss it
