We changed the schedule a bit -- the Lofi stream is tonight 4:30 - 7pm EST. We're gonna look at some hard questions from PT140.S2 (16-22) and 140's RC Passage 4. Oh and we'll assess the cuteness of some animals. And listen to lofi music. You know, lofi stream things.

Drop in and ask us questions, or just listen while you cook. See y'all soon <3

I'd really love to see some content on tips/strategy for timing with this new interface, especially as it pertains to using process of elimination. With these being two separate functions, I feel like I am slowing down and am wondering if eliminating answers is really a viable strategy. And then other things such as how to approach RC passages, no flagging now, etc. It would be very helpful to have something on this, I think it would be a big help for us test-takers @7SageAdmin

Hi! I pretty recently switched to using the new interface for questions since I took the June exam and didn't want to be messed up on the appearance of questions. The one thing I am yet to figure out is how to hide answer choices. Was this tool eliminated in the update or is it somewhere else?

Any help appreciated.

We're about 7 weeks out for the August LSAT, and I'm aiming for a 175+, but my BR seems to be consistently 175 but not ever higher. The questions I miss are mostly solvable under non-timed conditions. But on the back end of a section I seem to lose the presence of mind to solve these tricky questions, and in that moment they feel impossible. Does anyone have any advice on keeping up that mental clarity?

I honestly hate RC and when I only get 1 RC in a preptest I am literally happy and moving up! LOL

My diagnostic about a month ago was 148, and since then I've been learning, doing drills (untimed) and really trying to understand all the questions and question structures. I did my first PT a month later and got a 146, which was worse than my diagnostic. I am honestly feeling very discouraged and I don't know whether the issue is the time pressure, disassociation, or my abilities. I felt like I guessed a lot because I was running out of time, but I also did not really try as much as I should have. I'm registered for the September LSAT but now i don't know if I'll be able to improve significantly by then.

Is this normal for your first practice test after learning? Should I be doing practice tests or timed sections more often?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a question for ya'll about updating study plans. I have made my way through the Foundations Core Curriculum, and I am currently working my way through the Logical Reasoning part of the curriculum. I currently have my Study Plan set to Monday--Saturday for 1-2 hours/day. I want to kick my study plan up to 2-4 hours per day, but when I do so, it takes me way back to dates in the month of May. Is there any way to increase my hours per day and still preserve my current progress?

I hope that makes sense!

If you need a study break but just can't let the LSAT go, try our new learning games! They aren't a substitute for drills, but they can sharpen your intuitions and make the process of evaluating an argument more automatic.

Hi all, Phenomenon-hypothesis (LR) is my highest priority in tags for logical reasoning. I know it's not a question type like Weaken, Strengthen, etc., but does anyone have any tips or advice for handling questions with this tag or improving at these? Thanks!

Hey yall!

Last PT a few (?) weeks ago I used the new LSAC interface and I had so many technical issues, I crashed out and ended up taking another PT on 7sage.

Has LSAC fixed the issues with their new interface yet? Asking yall who have been taking PTs recently. If nah, then should I stick to using the new interface and do my PT on 7sage?

I really don’t want to redo a PT/don’t want to have the same issues as last time(it was frustrating tbh)

JYPing if you see this, can you please add an option on 7sage PTs where one can modify how long their breaks are between sections (not everyone has the fixed 2 mins between sections)

Go Knicks, NYC is lit rn we made history last W this hard was in the 70s yall 😛🔥🔥

By default, some PTs are toggled for both sections and tests. Does this mean that I would potentially do a PT that has a section I already completed as a section, or are they kept separate?

Hello! I've been doing drills and PrepTests for the past few weeks and I've noticed one of my biggest struggles when it comes to RC is finding the main point of a question. This eventually leads into me not fully understanding questions later on in a RC section since my understanding of the main point is rather weak. Does anyone have advice to finding out the best ways to find the Main Point in an RC passage?

I find that my previous memories and a mental freeze prevent it from being of any use. Which makes it harder as the 6 minutes runs out quick. I don't have this issue nearly as much with longer sections of hard questions, I have a better control of time then.

I've just started skipping them altogether. I much prefer doing very thorough BRs and moving on.

I'm considering taking a class when next semester starts up, does anyone have any recommendations as to which, or if I should take one at all? I've heard good things about Princeton review's 170+/10 PT class.

Hey gang, I've been studying for a little over two months, this is my first full PrepTest. I've not taken a diagnostic. This was a timed PT. I'm curious if others who have had a similar study experience would be willing to share what steps they took from this point in their journey, and how they eventually scored. I'm testing in September. Thanks and happy studying!

I've been studying for a month and half now and have been able to get my LR from -10 to around -3, but my RC has consistently been around -8 (untimed) with very little improvement. Does anyone have any advice on studying more effectively? I feel like with LR the foundations I had to learn drastically helped but with RC I might just not be approaching it properly? I've heard a lot of suggestions about mindset, staying engaged, predicting the next sentence, etc. but I think my issue is less about strategy and more fundamental. I've just purchased a RC textbook so hopefully that will help :')

This may be a silly question, but is it a good idea to start drills if you have not finished the "foundations" part of your study plan? I've only been at it a week, and I did a drill and didn't do so well. And I'm wondering if I might hold off until I get the foundations down.

Hey guys!! So I have been planning to take the LSAT in August, however, recently I feel like I have been improving but I feel like I am not where I want to be yet. I am thinking about taking it in September instead to give me some more time to be more confident. I have already taken the LSAT twice.

My question is: Is it a good idea to take one in August and September? Or should I just shoot for September.

What should I do with this? I started getting calls from staff during the 4th passage in rc and ended up just aborting the whole thing to go into work. If I keep it it will mess up my stats and what to focus on. If I delete it it will mess with what questions I’ve done already.

What happened with this new feature?? I can no longer X out the answers.

I’m such a slow reader and it’s harder for me to absorb the material in such a short amount of time, i overall just can’t seem to get the hang of it, any tips? How do I work on this?

Hi everyone!

I am applying for the 2027 cycle and planned on taking September (benchmark) and November exam (my ideal). However, the exam is quite pricey and I’m not sure if I should just register for November? Do both? For context, I’ve been studying since March and started the drilling portion of the curriculum!

Any insight would be helpful! Thank you :)

RC is my weakest section but honestly -6 and -8 is so much better than what I was scoring which was -10 or so; I hated the last LR section it made no sense whatsoever. I am not complaining though I think this score is something to be proud of.

My highest score was 162 so far so if I keep going maybe before August I can get better scores.

Good luck everyone

Hello! In the review section for PSAs, one of the patterns in the stimulus says the following:

"Kick ideas up into the domain, especially if the conclusion is conditional. Kick the sufficient conditions up into the premise set to transform the conclusion into an unconditional conclusion."

Can someone help me understand this? I am generally familiar with the idea of kicking ideas up into the domain, but I'm a bit confused about kicking sufficient conditions up into the premise set and what it means for a conclusion to be unconditional. My understanding of PSA questions is that the sufficient conditions are typically already in the premise set? Thanks so much in advance for any help!!

I started studying 3 weeks ago and scored a 172 on the diagnostic. Since then, I have scored 172 on a practice test and performed better on individual sections. I have been encouraged to take the LSAT in early August, but I have performed worse than I'd like on priority drills and am worried I will not be prepared that quickly to achieve my goal score of 175. Looking for advice on the test date and improving within this score range!
