A couple months ago, I was getting somewhere between minus 3-7 per RC section and now I've seemingly lost my groove as I've been getting minus 10+ on more than a few occasions. Has anyone else experienced this? Tips/advice?

Hi everyone,

I have been studying since November and am signed up to take the August LSAT. For a long time I was super consistent but now I can feel my study motivation dropping. I am interested in finding someone (or a group of people) to study with to hopefully reignite my motivation. I am currently scoring between 169 and 171 on my PT's. I live in Hawaii so schedule wise people on the west coast would probably work best. Please let me know if anyone is interested!

Hey everyone

I have been having trouble with MBT questions in specific.

Can you offer your tips and hints to how you handle them? Do you find writing out logic to help or waste more time?

My last couple of practice tests have been REALLY rough for RC. I can read and understand the passage pretty well in around 4 minutes, but spend way too much time on inference questions (both author agreement/disagreement and general inferences about the passage questions). My RC scores have been tanking my overall score, I'm consistently -0 to -2 LR, -0 on LG when I finish the section but sometimes don't get to the last 2-3 questions. I was at a solid -3 to -5 with RC for the majority of my studying up until now, usually just from not finishing the last few questions, but recently my uncertainty with these inference questions is killing my score. I can usually only get it down to 2 or 3 answer choices, I overthink them for 2ish minutes, and then invariably choose the wrong answer. Looking for tips on how to answer these question types more confidently, especially when 2 or 3 answer choices can reasonably be supported by information in the passage. How should I be quickly assessing which statement for which there is more evidence that the author would agree with it?

If anyone has recently taken PT87 and remembers passages 1 and 2 from the RC section, would be interested to hear your thoughts/approach on the inference questions - especially question 6 from passage 1 of PT87! Or in general, if anyone has receded severely in RC - how did you get your score back up? Any and all help much appreciated

I'm keeping this short and sweet because I just want to give a testament to 7sage and get that sweet sweet dopamine release from voicing my accomplishment!!

I started out with a diagnostic of 152. 1 month ago I started taking blind tests and after taking 3 - 4 I was averaging around 158. For the last 3 weeks I have been taking roughly 3 practice tests a day, 4 days a week. Last week I was averaging 168 but hadn't broken the 170 barrier. I just finally hit 172 actual, and then 175BR (I don't ever blind review tbh, I just went to finish the last 2 questions on LG that I didn't finish)

I'm not sure if this means i'm in a position to give anyone advice honestly, but if anyone has any questions for me, feel free to ask - I can give you my anecdotal advice!

Hi guys!

So on every PT my analytics show the red bubble glaring at me containing Flaw. I've been practicing for the last month strictly doing problem sets on flaw questions, and I have the PowerScore bible that I re-read from but I still get them wrong!!!! I'm frustrated because I get a decent chunk of them right, but then I will be easily fooled on other questions. It's my highest bubble and the one that will not budge. I know if I get them under control I can comfortably get my goal score. Taking in June and have a lot of hope I can still improve. PLEASE any advice to quickly master? I think my knowledge is there, and I'm aware of the patterns but still mess up. Ugh, the test stress is hitting me, but I need to just keep my eye on the prize- LSAT is such a mental test. Anyways, if anyone has major tips/suggestions specifically about flaw questions please bequeath me with your wisdom. Thanks in advance.

Why is B not the correct answer? How can D be justified?

For people with time and a half, does "duration of test" say 163 minutes? / people without accommodations, what time duration do you see for yours? Just trying to confirm that ProctorU has my accommodations. For some reason it says I don't have any accommodations under my test rules, but the 163 minutes is time and a half +5.5 minutes..? Just confirming the 163 minutes isn't including check-in and everything?

Hi,

I was wondering if any of y'all have any tips on how to practice for the four section August LSAT?

I know that the experimental section could be any of LR, RC, or LG, but the regular tests on 7Sage only have 2 LR sections. I want to get as much practice in with the additional fourth section and mix in RC, LR, and LG to see if/how my score fluctuates depending on the additional section.

Would appreciate any tips on what's working for y'all :)

If you're registered for the June LSAT FLEX, log in to ProctorU to schedule your day/timeslot now!

As of this post, dates/times appeared to be available from Saturday, June 12 ~ Tuesday, June 15.

Best wishes, everyone! :)

UPDATE:

If this is your 1st time taking the Flex, you might need to work around the system to schedule early:

I forgot that this is what I did several months before, and it worked for me then! :)

Not sure if this is applicable for international registrants, but can't hurt to try. I'm sure there will be plenty of slots available tmr, regardless!

Aiming for mid 150 and I suck at LR. I guess questions 20-25 and place hold all the NA and SA questions between 1-19 and do those at the end. This way I can focus on the questions that I am good at between 1-19. I am trying to allow myself to get no more than 10 wrong in LR and usually get -12 or -13

For all of my LR sections, I always get NA and SA questions wrong.

Does anyone have any tricks on how to master NA and SA? Even NA being Q3 being easy I still struggle with I do not understand the framework. Getting these right will allow me to break into -10 or even -9

Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to attack an LR section differently? I tried the loophole but do not see the powerful/provable method being of much help to me personally

Any help is appreciated

Hi everyone,

I registered on ProctorU this morning to schedule a testing time, and am having a lot of issues with testing my equipment. I use Google Chrome as my browser, but it will not allow me to enable ProctorU extension. Further, proctorU keeps telling me to install the newer version, but it is up to date and current. I read on reddit that others have had this issue, and tried Firefox instead. I downloaded Firefox and re-tested my equipment. Using Firefox, I passed all of the tests, but Firefox does not allow ProctorU access to my CPU/RAM information. I have not had CPU/RAM issues in the past, and am currently using a 2017 MacBook Air with 11.1 MacOS Big Sur.

My question is whether anyone else has had issues with ProctorU testing using the Chrome browser on a Mac? Should I be concerned with the inability to test CPU/RAM on ProctorU?

Appreciate any feedback, and good luck.

I've been studying for about two months and registered for June LSAT. When I started studying, RC was the hardest section for me. After about one month I saw significant improvement on my RC section. However, lately my RC score dropped again and this time I almost got all these difficult questions right but constantly miss the ones marked as difficulty level 1 or 2. What's worse is that I don't think I got them wrong because of misreading or something, but because I genuinely didn't understand these questions. I really don't know what's going on. Has anyone been through the same experience? I would really appreciate some advice!

I am scheduled for the June test and just completed a prep test yesterday. I am always content with my LG score and my RC has gotten better. However, I got 14 wrong on the LR section. It seems like LR has gotten worse for me. 14 wrong?? Im in need of useful tips or strategies I can implement in these next two weeks as it is the one thing keeping me from my goal score.

Can someone that knows about games help me do this one in a stacked way? JY explains it in a linear way which is not how it is presented and I am confused on how to do it. Thank you.

Can anyone explain to me when to use a blocking or bridging NA, I always find myself getting easier NA questions wrong bc I'm zeroed in on the conclusion and if there is a bridge AC I assume its a Sufficient Assumption AC and it's therefore it's not necessarily true. Then in difficult questions I tend to zero into the conclusion and end up getting those right, but not all the time. I guess my hesitance on bridging is I don't want to mistakenly pick an SA AC but at the same time I know that sometimes the right answer to and NA question can be both a SA and NA. Can anyone tell me when it's okay to pick a bridging AC? and also how something can be sufficient and necessary at the same time? Thank you in advance!

Wondering what others feel is the right time to call it a day grinding LG sections. If I manage to get -0 on almost every section I try, did I "do it"? Like am I done studying? What if I get -0 on the majority I attempt, but there are still many sections that I haven't attempted?

Up until this point I've only taken 4 section prep test to harden my mental endurance. The June LSAT is flex. My question is: should I do my final week of prep test with 4 sections? Or should I simulate the flex? What are other peeps doing?

I am scheduled for the June test in about 2 weeks, and I am stuck at a score ranging from 156-158. I average -3 to -4 on LG and -9 on RC, however my LR score varies so much and not in a good way. Im in need of ways to get just a handful more questions right on LR to get my score to the 160s :/ Any tips or help is appreciated

Hi everyone! Since the June flex is coming up, just wanted to ask anyone and everyone if you all have tips to make sure everything goes smoothly on test day (to the extent that we can control) and/or tips to keep your cool the week leading up to it. Any guidance will be much appreciated, since this will be my first LSAT. Thanks all :)

When is 7sage going to integrate the 3 + 1 Format of the August 2021 and beyond to the testing software? I think it would really advantage students for real test scenario?

Question: what can we conclude "virtually" to mean in this context? Can I conclude that there is at least one proposal that the so-called environmental group did not raise objections to? What is the opposite in LSAT world to "virtually?"

So... past two weeks got into the high 160s, Last PT hit a high of 172.

LR was once my strongest section, I’ve honed LR and RC to be more reliable and better scoring now however.

I’ve noticed some patterns reviewing recent LR Sections for me. The main being that I always seem to get incredibly stuck and destroyed by one of the easiest questions on the test according to the curve. I’ll get anywhere between -1 to -5 very variable. But invariably among the misses will be one of these questions.

I’ll find a few behaviors/patterns on these questions. They tend to be early, within the first 12 questions, as early as the 2nd or 3rd. It usually tends to be between two answer choices (usually one is the right one too). I end up spending too much time, crossing out all the other answers, flagging it and moving on to keep pace. On my 2nd round I return to it, then come back and still feel unsure about BR. Then when I get to the explanation JY kinda explains that the other answer choice is obviously bad and just scratches it out (lol I get it its a lot of answer choices on the test, but I’m dumb and dont get it, pls help me).

I can’t seem to find a rhyme or reason, they’re different question types etc. What could I be missing? Just more study?

For those curious, here’s a couple examples of the questions I’m talking about missing.

PT45 S1 Q2

PT70 S1 Q6

PT54 S2 Q2

PT61 S2 Q10

🙏🏼 thanks to anyone who has any words or advice in advance

Hello.

As many, feeling incredibly discouraged and stressed leading up to the June 2021 LSAT test in just a week and a half. I am frustrated because two months ago I was able to break 170, but since then my score has dropped. My last three practice tests have been a 165 (Prep Test 84), 167 (85), and a 166 (86). My blind reviews are typically higher than 170 (although my last one was 168 - just not my best test). I am planning on really buckling down and taking multiple practice tests/problems in the week and a half, but wondering if I will need to set my expectations lower on what I'm likely to get on the actual test. I'm hoping to get at least a 168, but not even sure if I'm going to hit that at this point.

At this point I am not going to reschedule (plus I would have to almost restart studying because I am used to the three sections) so just looking for either encouragement or the need to lower my expectations.

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for what I am currently experiencing while I practice test. No matter what, I am consistently getting the same number of questions wrong per section (-5 to -7 LR, -6 to -9 RC, -0 to -2 LG, averaging a 165 test score) no matter the type of question or passage. Consistently, the questions I'm getting wrong are the hardest questions marked by 7sage. Does anyone have any advice for how to do better on the hardest questions?
