I got 12 wrong in lr section today!! 12!!! And I usually score over 175!! I just started feeling really insecure and anxious while doing it. I couldn't concentrate at all. Now i am afraid to take the other lr section. It's like all my self confidence is gone. What am I going to do??

Ran across a sentence that went something like this the other day....

"If the DDA thinks it is, then jail time is sufficient."

My LSAT logic board almost had a meltdown.

I took the June LSAT, and got a 163. I'm wanting to get into a tier 1 school, so I'm retaking it in Sept. I feel like I am banging my head against a wall with some of the lower down lessons. Is it a bad idea to just skip around?

Clarification: I am usually -1 to -4 in LR, so I think that is fine. I just really need to master LG and RC I think.

Does anyone have any general advice for quickly and accurately identifying assumptions in arguments within the LR section? I feel like that's a weak spot for me so any advice on how to work on this would be immensely appreciated :}

How long do logic games take to click? If I do enough and make sure I can memorize and do all the problem sets will I be better equipped for future games (not completely set, but better equipped)? I just can't do more then like 2 questions for each game and it is very discouraging. Any tips/advice? Obviously JY stresses practice, but during a video he's like "yea like try to get this done in 5 minutes".... when I was staring at my page and did 2 problems after 20 minutes.

Any advice? Or tips?

I think the memory method is great but is a bit time consuming, I am thinking of approaching it like this: after reading each paragraph, write a quick memo on the side of the paragraph of the main point, no more than 7 or 8 words. Then when you do the questions you can quickly look back at your brief summary of the main point next to each paragraph. I just think the whole turning the paper over and writing what you memorized down can take a while and a lot of times you forget exactly what the paragraph is saying, but if you write a brief memo about it right after you read a paragraph, it is still fresh in your mind.

Just my thoughts, do you agree? If not, what method works best for you?

Hi

I paid for my upgrade yesterday (its been about 24 hours) but it seems that I cannot access the Starter level material. I worked through a lot of the free stuff so I have been anxious to start. Does it take a while for the account to recognize that I already upgraded?

I am just wondering if we are suppose to go through all the lessons and then tackle the PTs one by one after we have worked through the syllabus. Do people incorporate the PTs into their studying or does everyone work through all the lessons first?

Hey fellow Sagers,

I was wondering did anyone hear start out with a 135 or something or something along those lines when they started their prep with 7sage? If yes what is your score now and how did you do it? Thanks! I really need all the motivation that I can get. I plan on taking December and I'm aiming for at least 155

I am simply not improving in logical reasoning. It just does not click. I am really frustrated and want to give up. With reading comp I can usually get all of them right and I can complete 3-4 logic games, but I always bomb the logical reasoning section. I feel as if I am missing something. Am I just meant to never do well on those. I don't think I want to take the September test.

I took my first PT after finishing the course and scored a 153. I am taking a week off to go over my weaknesses by watching the lessons and practice Q's all over again. Plus drilling an addtl 20 Q's for each weakness. What kind of progress should I expect on my next PT? Or does it vary from person to person? So far I am getting 18/20 19/20 on my drills. I don't want to get discouraged so I am preparing myself for what would be a normal improvement from PT to PT. I kind of feel that doing good with my drills and reviewing all my lessons I could make a 163 on my next PT but that's impossible right? xD

If anyone can share their experience from their PT progress I would appreciate it!

I just thought I would throw this question out to the community in hopes of getting a question answered. I am currently planning on studying health care law. Does anyone know how much the ranking of a specialty law program matters in terms of future employment? I have seen few answers online regarding the topic and I have seen even less evidence to back up opinions.

I have been studying for a few months now, since the beginning of May, and I have a solid score of 152 almost every time I take a prep test.

My LG is usually anywhere between 17-20 correct, so I think my LG is fine, but I struggle on the last two sections.

Most specifically, I think I'm struggling in second-guessing myself. I go back and review my answers, and most are from me deciding between two.... but always picking the wrong one. Does anyone else have this problem? Can you guys suggest anything to get me out of this slump? My law school that I'm applying to bases entrance on GPA vs LSAT almost exclusively, so I need a range of 159-165 to "get in".

Help! :(

Hi all!

After a long day of prepping and wracking my brain over LR, I am asking myself "Why law school?" I'm in need of motivation--or maybe a wake-up call.

I'm curious, why do you all want to go to law school? What keeps you motivated? What do you want to do that taking the LSAT will enable you to do?

Hey Fellow Sagers,

Iv'e been studying for the exam now for over a month, but I really don't see any results. I can't break a 140! My goal is not to get a 170+, I'm just being realistic with myself. Anyways, I don't have a good or on ok section. On My last Prep test that I took (Test 52) which was done on timed conditions,I did terrible. I got -32 on LR, - 21 on RC and -14 on LG. I don't know what to do. I've never been a good standardized test taker. If I can get in the Mid 150's I'll be more than glad. My gpa is a solid 3.85. Please help! Is there anyone one else out there that is starting out in the mid 130's? I plan on taking the test in December. Thank you for your time.

I finished the curriculum and did about 4 practice tests so far and i'm seeing dramatic score variations (like from 154 to 163 and back down to 151)... is this normal?? I'm wondering if the 163 was an anomaly and i'm trying not to get discouraged. I know it's still early in the PT stage, but what is everyone's experience with their score varying during PTs?

Plateauing

Hi all,

I've been studying for the LSAT rigorously since about mid-March. My diagnostic test was a 154 and since then I've gotten up to the low 160s, but I've completely plateaued in the last several weeks. I can't seem to ever get above a 165, which is really disheartening. Any advice on how to overcome the plateau/pessimism I'm feeling at the moment would be immensely appreciated.
