Need Advice

Hey everyone,

Im feeling a bit lost. I've been studying the lsat for a while now, and no matter how many attempts I always seem to get around 10 questions incorrect in a section of 25 questions (both timed and untimed). Does anyone have advice on how to break out of this plateau?

Thank you in advance!

creating a shared drill

hi 7sage admin! I went to create a custom drill set that I could then share with a study group but when I share with them the drill set with the custom tags it randomizes the questions. Is there a way to create a custom drill set that locks the questions in for a study group so we can complete the same questions and discuss later?

Wrong Answer Journal Review?

How do you go about reviewing your wrong answer journal? When do you return to those questions? I'm trying to keep up with it, but I'm not sure what I'm really supposed to do with them when after I've moved on. There are so many more drills, lessons, tests, and questions to do, when do you take time to go back through them?

I'm new to the Discussion portion of the site, so apologies if this should be posted elsewhere. I'm wondering if there's a support group for those of us applying for test accommodations. I'm the process of requesting physical accommodations + extra time and would be interested in others' experience. Thanks in advance.

How to delete PT data

I’m not sure why I do this but I like to take PT and only finish one section to see my score. Is there a way to delete PR data since I have a few sections saying I got -25 -26 and it messes up my data. I’m not sure how to do it on the new website

RC not improving

Just a few weeks ago, I was seeing my RC score improving. I was at about -6 or -7, which definitely was an improvement for me as RC was something I was scared of. However, as of late, I am consistently getting -10 on my practice tests and full section RC practices. I am looking for any tips to resolve this, or even hypotheses as to why this may be happening. I am taking the August LSAT and really want to land in the 160's, but this is hindering my process and making me nervous. Thank you!

bug with analytics

Hi! Looking for tech support: my average missed questions section in my analytics is broken for RC. I'm told I have an average of -0, and unfortunately, this is not true! Is there a reason its not updating properly? Would be helpful to track progress.

I have noticed that blind review is sometimes an option after completing the individual questions and drills in the core curriculum, and sometimes it is not. Is there a way to tell before we open the question if we will be given the chance to blind review?

Does anyone have recs for questions/drills I can do to improve on alternative hypotheses? I'm practicing S/W/E but this flavor always trips me up!

Ex: this argument is strengthened/weakened by proving/disproving an alternative hypotheses

🙃 Confused

Context vs. Premise

Hi! I am starting to get into deeper content analysis after doing a good bit of practice, I want to get some clarification on how to discern the difference between premises and context, for the sake of the author's argument. This is a general area that could help me, but the question came up originally when I was reviewing Argument Part questions.

Just wondering about when the following features will be avail for the new platform:

App (Would love to have it for my iPad because I like to write notes on it.)

Study Schedule (I've been seeing earliest is August?)

Wrong Answer Journal (Currently panicking without it/I don't have one.)

I have both of my accounts (old and new) so I can switch back and forth between sites for the Study Schedule, but not for the other two features.

In the meantime... does anyone have any suggestions for creating your own wrong answer journal? I have Notion, Microsoft, Google, etc. Would like to have one up and running before I start taking PTs'.

Thanks all!

Recommended for BR

What does it mean when you finish a drill and it says recommended for BR? I just did an RC drill and it recommended 3 questions for BR even though I had gotten all the questions correct initially. This made me think that my original answer was incorrect and so I searched for another answer even though what I had originally put down was correct. I am wondering how these questions are flagged as recommended for BR?

I did a level 4 MC question earlier (PT 126/S1/Q18 if you're curious), and I am realizing that I struggle knowing how to differentiate the context from the conclusion. Sometimes, typically on easier questions, it is obvious to me, but on harder ones like this, it is hard for me to understand it. I am fairly good at differentiating support from the conclusion, but the context throws me off since it is sometimes used as a reference rather than as support.

Does anyone have any tips? Thanks!

Basically, im in the range now of trying to get my LR average from -6/-5 to the -4 range, and my RC is also holding me back, Im consistently get -6 to -8 range every RC section almost singlehandedly because I get rocked my 1 passage. Ive been trying to fix my timing issues on RC and its been helpful, but on my last PT i didnt leave enough time to really get at a passage, and it was in this 5 star passage I saw a common trend with my other PTs. I consistently get maybe 1 or 2 questions wrong on the easier passages, and on the 4 and 5 star ones ill get almost every single question wrong, what did you guys do who had a similar problem?

How to improve the speed on RC section.... help

I'm asking this because I noticed a LARGE gap between the raw score and BR score on the RC section... Since I can reach about 85%-95% accuracy when doing the BR I think the issue could be I'm being too slow...?

I really need some suggestions on how to improve and also any strategies..?

Are you sure?
