Hi folks,

On average for a single Practice Tests, I will have a combined 5-7 questions marked for BR on Logical Reasoning. I have now reached the point where every single time I mark something for BR, I actually got it right the first time. The good news is that upon BR, I agree with my first answer so at least I am consistent.

The bad news is that every single question I get wrong I don't even mark. So the issue is I that I'm ignorant of what I'm getting wrong. I'm scoring fairly highly (high 160's - low 170s) but this pattern is starting to bother me. Does this mean I am plateau'ing or reaching my ceiling? I will say that most of the time my wrong answers are due to misreading or falling for easy traps that are pretty easily understood once I actually look at the question, granted this is with the hindsight of having seen the answer key and knowing that my answer choice is wrong.

What do you think?

Hi everyone,

Been on 7Sage since earlier this summer and have gone through the coursework. Now I'm working on PrepTests. I have access through PrepTest 55 and plan on upgrading to get access to the full PrepTest library.

I've seen people comment on how the LSAT changes over time - usually to get more difficult and ensure the curve. Anyone have a general timeline of the step changes, e.g. Preptests 55-68 are one level of difficulty (usually LG), but then Preptests 69 onward jump it up a notch in the RC section, etc?

Sorry if this is a duplicate post.

Is there a way to practice a section at a time, review it, and then try a new section? Is there a way to do this or do you create a drill?

Hi all, instead of writing individually, here is the link for anyone who msged me about discord link, and/or if you are still looking for a accountability and beyond group, here is the server link: https://discord.gg/AWekDrtwHc

Hello everyone, I apologize if this information is listed elsewhere. If anything, I am hoping to understand strategies being employed at large and their results.

I am going through the older LSAT course. For each question type, the section begins with a brief summary of the question type followed by example questions and then a series of drills ranging in difficulty. These drills all pull from prep tests 17 - 35 from my understanding with the exceptions of some that generate from 40 - 60s.

In perusing the comments for each drill, there seems to be a fair mix of those who time those drills and those who don't. Which should I be doing?

That may be a loaded question because 'should' almost certainly depends on what works best for the individual (unless, of course, the instructor suggested one way to my ignorance). Whether to time or not seems ultimately to present a tradeoff between ensuring a base-level understanding and timing. Improving timing will have not benefit if the questions are not correct. And, to a lesser extent, your accuracy in questions can only get you so far under time constraints.

So, what has worked (and is working) for everyone? Up to this point, I haven't timed any of the drills. I was planning on completing each question-type section and doing timed drills of prep tests 1 - 16. But is it wasting practice tests to not be timing every single one? I would so appreciate hearing everyone's strategies - especially if it resulted in great results. Thanks!

This recently tripped me up...

But just wondering what words or phrases in an RC passage would indicate that an author is neutral towards a particular subject/theory etc.

So i have the premium pack now, but i will take the test on September which will be digital. So i want to upgrade to ultimate which has up to PT 71. However, is ultimate+ worth it since it has the latest PTs? or there isn't much difference between ultimate and ultimate+?

Are all LG resources on 7Sage (sections, explanation videos, and archived classes, etc.) going to be taken off after the June test?

Proctors: The proctors were very nice but also very strict about items allowed in the room. I was forced to throw away an energy drink because it had text on the outside and many people were similarly asked to throw away food items, etc.

Facilities: Very easy to navigate. There were restrooms, drinking fountains, and other facilities typical of a campus building.

What kind of room: It was a typical law forum room shaped in a semi-circle with tiered row seating.

How many in the room: About 20 test takers

Desks: Continuous desks throughout each row which provided more than enough room to feel comfortable.

Left-handed accommodation: Yes.

Noise levels: Low.

Parking: Parking was fairly straight forward and easy. The meters to buy your parking pass were sort of difficult to find at first but they're located near the elevators. Parking only cost about $5 for 12 hours so it was relatively cheap.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About 30-45 minutes.

Irregularities or mishaps: Someone's phone went off during the test and he was removed. Leave your phone in your car, it's not worth the risk!

Other comments: The classroom was very comfortable and the "continuous" desks in the room provided substantial room.

Would you take the test here again? Yes, absolutely.

Hey everyone, I've been noticing in PTs that my second LR section score is significantly lower than the first LR section. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get past it? Unfortunately, I feel like I mentally check out by the time I get to the second LR section because I just want it to be over with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because it's really bringing my PT scores down.

-

I noticed that the graph in the LSAT Analytics page that displays your section performance over various PTs has two different curves for Logical Reasoning. I don't see why this should be so. The curves make no distinction between the two LR sections on each test, nor should there be one in my opinion. I can't glean any insights from a curve if I don't know what dataset it represents, and there doesn't seem to be any relevant distinction between the two LR datasets. So would it be possible to combine those two curves into one that represents the total amount of LR questions missed on each PT?

is it normal for you to score a few points below your diagnostic score on your PT and score much higher on your blind review?

I just took the December LSAT and got the score I needed. Now I am going to finish up my law school applications and submit them in the next couple of weeks. After that I will begin studying for the GMAT.

I started studying for the LSAT using Kaplan. It didn't work too well for me. I found 7sage and had a 12 point increase in my score by studying 6 weeks leading up to the test.

I am wondering if any of you are doing the JD/MBA and if so what prep courses you have found that are similar to the 7sage style.

Thanks in advance!

Proctors: Several available; extremely communicative and helpful. Kept things organized.

Facilities: Clean, quiet and easily accessible.

What kind of room: Classroom.

How many in the room: Approximately 40 to my recollection.

Desks: Long lecture style seating with a seat in between.

Left-handed accommodation: They left a seat in between each person and no one was seated directly adjacent to a wall.

Noise levels: Extremely quiet.

Parking: I was driven to the test but there was plenty of parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: I got there early, but approximately half hour or so from the actual time they said to be there.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Other comments: Great, professional testing center.

Would you take the test here again? Hopefully I never have to take it again (but a good center)!

For quite a while my LSAT score was stagnating in the low 150s flash forward to three weeks ago I took a prep test and scored a 156 which was the best i have ever done. I have done two more pts excepting them to be the same or higher than my best pt they were both low 150s again. I am struggling to go from 150s-160s any advice it feels like I improve do badly and loose my progress I registered for august but I worry that I will not be consistently scoring in the 160s goal score of 165.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: June 2014, and February 2015

Proctors: I found the proctors to be very professional. They made the instructions clear and they were quiet during testing time. They all seemed to be calm, and that helped me to feel calm as well.

Facilities: the facilities were great. I wrote in a newer building (CCIS building). The room I was in was close to many bathrooms, which were very clearly marked.

What kind of room: I was in a big theatre-style lecture hall. It had good lighting and was very spacious.

How many in the room: approximately 100 people.

Desks: the room had 3 sections of long tables on the left, right and middle of the room with many rows. I lucked out and had nobody down my entire table and I was front row in the middle section. Even with people sharing rows of tables, there was plenty of room.

Left-handed accommodation: the long tables would not be an issue for right- or left-handed people.

Noise levels: low. Proctors and test writers were very quiet.

Parking: there are two large parking lots on either side of this building with relatively inexpensive hourly rates.

Hi everyone. Silly question, but I hope y'all can help me out. About a month ago, I found a website -- that I can no longer remember the name of, and it doesn't show up in my browser history -- that laid out each LR question type and, if I recall correctly, a guide on what to do when you're down to two answers: i.e. when it's this question type, it'll almost always be an answer within this scope, or with this degree of modality, etc. Let me know if this rings a bell or if you can redirect me to this (or to a similar and free) resource. Thank you!

When I go to the syllabus page it states that it cannot connect to my lawhub prep course after purchasing the bundle on this site. Please help.

Proctors:

Friendly, but didn't give 5 minute warning

Facilities:

Fine

What kind of room:

Small Classroom

How many in the room:

20 something

Desks:

small individual desks with attached chairs

Left-handed accommodation:

N/A

Noise levels:

Fairly quiet

Parking:

N/A

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

A little over half an hour

Other Comments:

I was placed in one room and after I got settled I was moved to another

Would you take the test here again?

Only if I knew I'd have better desks

Date of Exam: 06/8/2015

Hi everyone! I just wrote the November LSAT, and after 5 months of religiously studying I unfortunately feel like I didn't do the best... I am planning to sign up for January or February LSAT, In hopes of applying for the fall 2024 cycle. I really didn't want to have to wait another cycle! Is taking the February LSAT too late to apply? I hear mixed opinions, and all the schools I'm applying to priority deadline is March 15. I really wanted to have my LSAT scores and apply before Christmas but I'm afraid I'm looking at other options. Your input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Proctors: 5 proctors total, with 2 in the back watching. Overall very good. Stuck to the time well, gave clear instructions, announced 5 minute warnings. Only drawback was the proctor who passed out the test forms excruciatingly slowly.

Facilities: Facilities are comfortable. Bathroom wasn't too far away, chairs are comfortable, rooms are well-lit. Bring a watch though, it's hard to see the clock from certain areas of the room.

What kind of room: Medium sized rooms divided into three sections (left, right, middle) that all face towards the front and center.

How many in the room: ~50 in my room. There weren't many people, and it was very spacious. They staggered seating so that you have empty seats on either side.

Desks: My favorite part! LOTS of room for you. They don't have individual desks, they have one long desk for an entire row. Plus, no people on either side of you so you can fan out all of your items to your heart's content.

Left-handed accommodation: Doesn't apply, the desks are for both right and left handed folk.

Noise levels: The only noise came from the other test takers (flipping paper, coughing, sneezing, yawning). But since there weren't too many people, the noise was minimal. The area itself is secluded enough that you won't hear urban noises from the classroom.

Parking: I'm not sure exactly how large the parking lot is since I personally took a cab, but AU provides parking for test takers.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: They start checking you in and putting you into rooms when you arrive. So if you arrive earlier, you will start earlier and vice versa. I would say ~20-30 minutes.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Would you take the test here again?: YES! This is a great test center, with ample room, good temp, no noise, and competent proctors. What more can you ask for? (Other than an easy exam, of course)

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December '15
