I believe I have a firm understanding of most underlying concepts to questions/passages at this point in my studies. Although, I might easily be incorrect in that presumption. I have read the LR and LG PowerScore bibles page-for-page. I have completed nearly every educational video in the syllabus for 7Sage. I have read the entirety of Manhattan Prep's RC book. I am kinda stuck on where to go from here. Here are my stats currently, which I am only providing as a basis for how I should study:

Generally LR (-2/-3), LG (-0/-1), and RC (-5/-6).

These stats alone -- I think -- reveal my weakness in RC and a need to really focus on it in the coming days. Are there any suggestion on how I can most effectively improve my score in roughly 30 days? I could still take sections and review normally. I could attempt to pay for a tutor -- albeit I am completely self-supporting in college. Any insight on how to make the next jump would be greatly appreciated!

I was wondering what everyone's schedule looks like..is the amount of PT's a week a very subjective thing? So far I only have 3 full timed tests and one untimed test, a section and BR a day, this month, with LG drilling in between. Do you think I should squeeze in another timed PT in this month, or have 1-2 PTS a week for August and September? Not sure what everyone's take on the amount of PTS's to take is. My last few tests were 155, 158, and 161.

Hey all! I'm taking the exam this January and know scheduling is supposed to open up tomorrow, I remember in the past there was a glitch where students could book early.

Just wanted to check if there were any updates on that situation, I just want to get my fair chance by booking as soon as it opens!

i've been seeing a lot of people's RAM usage higher than the 95% allowed by Proctor U. There are tons of articles on how to reduce your RAM on our computer. These are my go-to tips for a macbook air (intel - but that doesn't matter)

clear browsing data

elipses top right hand corner > settings > clear browsing data

clear chrome task manager

elipses top right hand corner > more tools > task manager > quit any running programs

**** NOT proctor U extension though

hope this helps - good luck!

This question is difficult because once you spot the flaw, it is hard to put it into words, which is why I missed it. I couldn't figure out how any of the answer choices paraphrased the flaw, so I had to pick an answer and move on. I don't really see how C is the flaw and how A is worse than C.

Bike riders don't follow the rules of the road, and this is a causal factor in 25% of traffic accidents involving bikes. The lack of bike saftey equipment is also a causal factor in 25% of those accidents. Thus, bikes are partly responsible for more than half of the traffic accidents involving bikes.

What I am looking for: I think the flaw is a math error. The conclusion says that 50+%, but we are given information about a causal factor being 25% and of those accidents a causal factor is 25%. Instead of additive, the relationship should be multiplicative. The conclusion should only talk about the percentage of bike accidents that included inadequate bike saftey equipment.

Answer A: This was the answer I chose, and I don't see how this doesn't adequately point out the flaw. Sure, you need to make an assumption that motorists are a factor in traffic accidents, but how is that not a reasonable assumption that the author overlooked? Additionally, since we conclude that 50+%, this is implying that less than 50% ("less than half") have some other cause. But, since we can't conclude anything about 50+%, this presumption is not justified. I don't see what is wrong with this one.

Answer B: No. We are to take the causal premises as truth.

Answer C: How is this the correct answer choice? Doesn't the conclusion say "at least partially responsible?" Thus, the argument DOES consider the possibility that more than one factor may contribute to a given accident? Additionally, the argument isn't talking about "all/given accidents;" it is limited to accidents involving bikes. How can the flaw be about "given" accidents?

Answer D: We don't need a source.

Answer E: Who cares about the severity of injury?

Hello Everyone,

I have taken basically all of the preptests from 60-94 within the past 2-3 years. I am taking the June 2024 LSAT because i want to get one last shot with the logic games (currently my best section).

I want to keep doing prep tests till the test in June. But all of the tests past 94 do not have logic games in 7Sage. What should i do? is there a way to switch it to 3 sections after 94 and do a random logic game section as my 4th section?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there's anyway I could improve how I've been drilling. I started doing questions around the beginning of the month and have been focusing on drilling on LR questions about 5 -10 per day. However, I feel like I've been taking these drills for far too long untimed. Usually I drill 5 questions for about 1 - 2 1/2 hours when doing them. Once I've submitted, I check answers depending on how many I got wrong which can last for up to 2 hours. Filling LR journals take another long time as well. In general, I feel like doing small increments as such eats alot of my time up for the day and feels somewhat ineffective despite trying to score consistently high. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve drilling/studying for the LSAT, I would much appreciate it. Thx

After studying for approximately 3 months, I scored a 163 in June. At the time I was PT’ing at about 164. In August, I scored a 163 after PT’ing at about 169. My PT high was a 170. Last weekend I scored a PT high of 173. I feel as though I was significantly better at the test in August and there were no extraordinary circumstances — albeit two difficult RCs.

I plan on taking the October LSAT. My contention is that it would be difficult for me to afford a pricy tutor. I have an LSAC fee waiver, so if there are any tutors who offer discounted services, I would be very interested in working with them.

I got back my Nov LSAT score and was not too thrilled with it. I was scoring much higher on my prep tests. I am torn between applying anyways to select schools and seeing what happens vs. studying more for the LSAT and applying next cycle. Any advice on what to do? Also, how do schools view reapplications- if you get rejected the first cycle, but apply regardless in the next? Thank you!

Will the LSAT continue to be online? I read somewhere that it would be through June 2022, but was wondering for after this timeframe?

My test got terminated right before the last section as I was accused of cheating. They stated multiple reasons

Someone rang my doorbell 3 times during the beginning of Section 2 and then left, I went out during my break to get the letter they left behind and let my cat inside. They then accused me of talking to someone at the door, I promptly explained what happened and then they said:

I went to the bathroom twice, once during section 1 and once during section 3, and they said that was not permitted. I went to the bathroom 4 times during the June Flex exam and wasn't given any problems. I pee a lot when nervous lol. And when I asked why they didn’t say that they first time they said they allowed me to break the rules the first time and let it slide.

I'm just beyond frustrated........ after being on the phone with LSAC, then proctorU, then LSAC, LSAC told me I should consider myself lucky that they're even letting me rewrite Oct 21..... Feeling a tad deflated but what can ya do... just sharing my grievances with you guys.

I am consistently scoring in the low 160s (160-163) and scoring in the mid 160s to low 170s (166-172) after BR. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to get out of a plateau. On BR, I immediately notice many careless mistakes, either due to misreading the questions or stimulus or time constraint, but I always seem to make comparable careless mistakes on the next PT I take. Does anyone else struggle with this issue? I am taking the October test and I have only completed PT 36-46 and June '07. I also have every single PT, including 1-35 and PT A,B and C. Would it be helpful for me to take every single one of them as a PT, or should I save some of them for drilling? I want to maximize my potential on the LSAT and I'm willing to take and thoroughly BR as many PTs as necessary.

Hi!

My friend who went to Yonsei UIC and I are starting an online LSAT study group. He has an official score of 176 and my score fluctuates from 166-172. I am not sure if this means anything but I have a degree from Johns Hopkins. We also have another member who scores around low-170s in the PTs.

We meet at 7 pm-9 pm Korean Standard Time on Wednesday.

I have a Zoom Pro, so we can meet without interruption.

We also plan to meet offline at Gangnam station for a group study or maybe even a dinner or drinks if we gather enough people.

If you are interested, please send me a DM and I will invite you to the KakaoTalk group chat!

Thanks! (:

Hi! I have an accommodation to have the experimental section removed from the test all together. Is there any way to adjust PTs on 7Sage to reflect not having the experimental section?

Has anyone saved a list of medium-difficult referential phrasing LR questions (especially forward-pointing referents) and/or multi-clause sentences that use referential phrasing? I'm trying to hone this skill and would love to help put together a list so others can do the same.

51.3.23 is a good one for starters, would love the help, thanks!

Just finished PT 77 and my usual BR partner isn't responding, anyone up for some BR??? HMU

Hi y'all! After 2.5 months of studying, I took the November 2023 LSAT and scored 15 points lower than what I want my dream score to be for my law school applications. I have taken a bit of a break in studying since, and decided this weekend I am getting back into the swing of things, so I am posting this for accountability. I knew then, and know now, that I personally needed more time to get the score I wanted and properly study for this test. However, I am now stressing what is the best date for me to sign up for. I know I want to give myself until at LEAST the June test date- I work full time and balancing work, working out, studying, and generally surviving can be tricky. However, I know June is also the last date that will have Logic Games - it is my favorite section of the LSAT, but from the few diagnostics I have taken, I am not particularly good (read: quick) at solving them for the timing of the LSAT.

With all of this, I am not sure if I should still be aiming to take the LSAT in June or if I should give myself even more time beyond that. I am really anxious and eager to submit my applications once my LSAT score is where I want it, and I am dreading the idea of applying in 2026, so I really want to make this upcoming year my year. In addition, I want to submit my applications as early as possible for the 2025 cycle so I can get that out of the way.

tldr I am feeling lost on how to structure my studying this month, and I don't know if Logic Games are worth my time at all. Any study tips, encouragement, advice, feedback would be greatly appreciated. Seeking out motivation and accountability so that all of us can succeed in 2025 and beyond!

I am looking for someone who has been studying for the LSAT in the mid-160's and who is enrolled in Live Classes and is a fairly regular attendee and by regular I mean at least one session a day. I am looking for someone to talk to during class and by talk I mean exchanging specific questions about what the instructor is covering because I have noticed many times, questions and comments being lost in the chat, and they are never addressed so I hope this will help you as much as it helps me. if anything, it will help us to keep focus at least. and I mostly want to try to answer your questions so I won't be messaging you questions. the only exception will be during office hours because for those I leave once I have my question answered. And there aren't any obligations with this commitment; if for any reason we try this out and it doesn't work we don't have to have a formal discussion about stopping, we could just stop. During live classes, my name in the zoom will always be Ashley.

What's up guys! After finishing the CC, how did you approach studying for the logical reasoning section? What worked? What didn't work? Thanks in advance.

I know CCv2 is suitable for the August 2024 LSAT given the removal of LG in June 2024, so I should probably pursue CCv2; however, I've already mapped out a 6mo study schedule with CCv1 which has ~820 courses whereas CCv2 has ~540. The minimized course offerings in CCv2 cut out ~2.5 months of study time. This is important because I want to pace my study schedule such that I am prepared for the August 2024 LSAT.

What's a good way to pursue CCv2 without majorly disrupting my study schedule?

Perhaps I blend courses from CCv1 and CCv2 to extend the study period or simply add more PTs to my new CCv2 study plan?

am i rushing through br? am i not flagging enough?

Does anyone have a good estimate on this? I am trying to budget my line.

I am the type of person that really gets into details when doing questions.

Also, can you please tell me when I should do the drills? should I wait until entire LR section is completed or should I start drills when I start that section?

Hello everyone. Since my diagnostic, until now I have gone up about 13 points but I am still yet to reach my goal of 165. I have taken countless PTs and have been drilling almost every day for the past 6 months. My biggest problem is managing my time. In the LR sections, I always finished with 5 unanswered questions. On the RC, I only get to finish 3 passages. I know some say that there is only so much more you can improve after having studied for a long time, but I refuse to believe that I have plateaued. There has to be a way.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to finish on time with accuracy?
