This happened to me a lot so I have to ask for some advice. I start doing a PT (especially I am talking about an LG section) where I kinda freeze at a certain game which I know is something I can handle. I stop the section and restart again and the second time it goes flawlessly. How can I fix this? This especially happens during an LG. I don't look for an explanation or anything I just gather myself and it goes great afterwards.

Hey guys! Was wondering if anyone has any advice for how to approach studying for November. So I got a 168 on the August test, which I know is objectively a fantastic score, but my PT average is around 175ish (and my last few scores were 176, 180, and two 179s). I'm pretty happy with my grasp of everything so I think it's about consistency for me.

I don't feel bad about it because I really can't complain about a 95 percentile score and know I worked hard, but also I knew I would most likely have to take it again and my score expectations were pretty low. I was super anxious on the day - I slept horribly and I didn't even have time to properly finish my RC section (which was my first one), and it was super jarring because I've literally never had issues with time on a standardized test + was thrown off by the LSAT flex format, so I'm expecting to do better just without that first time test anxiety now that I'm more familiar with how it goes!

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I should think about studying these next 5-6 weeks? I'm thinking fewer practice tests (luckily I saved a bunch of tests in the 70s and 80s) and just drilling a little to stay on top of it, and putting extra effort into digesting why my wrong answers were wrong. I also have a pretty demanding full time job and was stressed about a number of things, and had been trying to squeeze LSAT studying in bits in during the day (since I'm working remotely due to COVID right now still) so I want to make sure I try to study when I'm feeling clear headed and have uninterrupted time rather than in bits and pieces while juggling work.

I also need to focus on reading comprehension but its tough to know how to get down to -0/-1 more consistently when you're already doing pretty well.

Any advice? Any inspirational stories of a huge jump from your first to second test?

good luck everyone!!!

Hello,

I just recently purchased an annual subscription from LawHub. However, I believe my LawHub account is synced to a previous 7Sage account that I had a few years ago that I am no longer using. Is there anyway for me to re-link my LawHub account to the 7sage account I am currently using? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all,

I'm planning to take the Oct LSAT and am looking for a tutor to help me get over the plateau I seem be on in LR. I've reached out to a few people here directly but haven't heard back. Hoping that taking it to the group will yield some results. Please shoot me a PM if you're available for hire. Or, if anyone has a person they recommend please comment and let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all you cool 99th percentile scorers out there. I am wondering...once you crack into the 170's...is the test just easy? I am stuck in the 163-166 range, and still find that every time I take a PT it never feels easy. I really feel like each and every test thoroughly kicks my ass, even though my score is continuing to creep up. I do feel like my understanding of the material has greatly improved, but it is certainly never a walk in the park.

Just curious!

Hi everyone! I took the January LSAT and made a 161 which is a good score but I'm aiming for a 170. I started studying again right at the end of May. I've done five full exams so far with the following scores:

PT 74- 160 (Diagnostic)

PT 81- 162 (BR 164)

PT 79- 163 (BR 164)

PT 78- 164 (BR 166)

PT 67- 164 (BR 168)

I work full-time so I study in the evenings or early in the morning. During the week I typically complete timed practice sections and review them, going back to my notes or lessons when I need to. On the weekends I take a full exam and do BR. Then, I review the exam in-depth over a few days. I've improved a lot on LG but am still not quite there on LR or RC. Lately, I've been struggling more than usual on RC for some reason (I'm not sure why).

I was wondering what advice folks have for me. I've been staying positive and I think I'm genuinely improving every week but I just need an extra push to keep bringing my score up. I'm hoping to take the exam by the end of this year. Thank you in advance for your advice! :)

Hoping to run into a fellow SUSI alumni here. I'm an international applicant who previously attended a US institution for five-weeks through a government funded program as an undergrad. The courses were neither graded nor credited but when I emailed LSAC about it they responded that I would have to request the transcript (which I believe is nonexistent) anyway. Did anyone have to deal with this kind of issue?

I wrote the LSAT-Flex on August 29th and was using the command-F feature during the RC section (I use a Mac). However, I'm used to hitting command-space to search things up on my laptop when I'm studying and I accidentally hit command-space instead of command-F during the exam which searched my entire laptop... I realized quickly and closed out of it and was too scared to use command-F after that. Do you think I will have any issues with getting my score because of this/should I do anything about it? Now that I've written the exam I can't help stressing over these little things! I don't want something like this to mess up my scores ahhh and I'm scared I'll get flagged because of this... would appreciate some opinions on if I should do anything

Hey guys,

So I’ve been studying on and off for about two years made little progress and I’m starting to reaalize it may be the result of my learning disability. In high school I had a reader read tests for me. As far as I understand the lsat must accommodate test takers.

I was wondering what having a reader would look like for the test and if anyone here had used a reader on test day.

I plan to begin studying at the end of this week but I’m not exactly sure how I should take the test, in the sense that I should have someone read it to me.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Could anyone kindly give me some advice? My LSAT score is one point lower than the last time. This is my second LSAT taking, and I plan not to take LSAT in the future. So should I cancel my score this time or should I keep it?

I've read in various discussions about getting back to the basics, or mastering the fundamentals, before PTing. Can somebody please elaborate what this meant for them during this process? For instance, does this entail mastering all the drills and going -0 after BRing the practice sets? I took the LSAT this past February after completing the curriculum and did not perform well. I am planning on taking the test in October or December and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly this time around. I thoroughly went through the curriculum for 4 months, but only left myself 2 months for practice tests which felt rushed. Thanks for any advice!

I'm currently about 25% through the syllabus and it seems there are a number of times in J.Y.'s explanations he says, "If you're not familiar with logic rules for XYZ go back to that lesson and review it," but then I look at the syllabus and that lesson hasn't happened yet. Just wondering if it makes more sense to jump through all the foundational logic before doing practice sets that encourage us to know rules we haven't learned? Or is this intentional?

I am getting to the SA part of the curriculum, and it doesn't seem to have the review or theory and approach sections in the later question types. Is there a plan to add that or is the v2 curriculum finished? Would love to know if there is a timeline for adding those parts of the curriculum if the ccv2 curriculum is still being worked on.

Looking to study 5:30am- 8:30am Monday-Friday Central Time.

Looking for people scoring in the low 150s to get to the high 150s/low 160s.

Wanting to take the exam either Nov (if possible) or January.

Plan:

  • Do one LG Sec the first half & hour
  • Do one LR section the second Half & hour
  • Grade and review both sections the last hour and half.
  • We can figure some out for RC lol

  • We can also do full PT sections every Saturday morning & Sunday can be our off day.
  • Please comment email below. Looking for 2-3 people.

    I'm scoring timed PT in low-mid 160s and BR in low-mid 170s, with differences averaging anywhere between 6-12 points!

    Has anyone else had such a wide gap between the two scores? And if so, know of anything that helped close that gap??

    In BR, I get all LG questions correct (normally no more in -4 in timed), which helps, and I know how to improve there.. but..

    For RC, it's usually silly mistakes or misreading that I messed up during timed run.

    For LR, it's a lot of me choosing the trap answer choice during timed run, and not figuring that out until BR. #HELP
