Hi! I’m registered for the June flex and got the email that registrations would open on Thursday 6/3 at 12 eastern. Am I able to make a ProctorU account before then just to make sure the process runs smoothly? I tried to make one and chose LSAC as the institution but it didn’t let me make an account. Thanks!

Hey all, this is my first time posting on this forum because I have no idea where to go from here so any tips, strategies, hugs, cry sessions, heck I'll even pay for a reading comp tutor if I need to because I've worked too hard for reading comp to be my downfall :(. A little background, I noticed the later I got into the PTs (70s +) the worse I am doing on RC, I just took PT 88 and i got -4 on LR , -1on LG and -10 ON READING COMP. I feel like im looking waaaaay to deep into the questions and it's really making me doubt taking the June test since its literally in 15 days. So yeah that's my situation, please help ya girl :(((((((

Hi all, RC timing is killing my score for that section. I average about one/two question(s) wrong per passage (overall roughly -6), but end up running out of time and missing the last passage completely (ending up missing anywhere from -12 to -15). I'm taking the June LSAT next week so I get the work to close this will be challenging. Also background, living with ADHD I have some processing challenges so naturally I'm a slower reader to HOPEFULLY not have to read the passages 3 times over. I think what's really getting me is that I'm getting too far in the weeds with note taking which is also a time suck. I don't know - any and all advice is appreciated.

Quick Context: I’ve been working through the core curriculum for about four months and had originally planned to take the August LSAT. However, since I’ve been “stuck” on LG (my weakest section) for about 3-4 weeks and haven’t even really dived into learning about RC, I think I’m going to have to postpone.

Current problem: I’ve been fool-proofing ordering logic games (all those from PT 1-35) for about three weeks straight and am feeling very discouraged as it seems I have not made any real improvement in my ability to tackle “new” ordering games. For instance, when attempting a simple sequencing logic game for the first time, I either take forever (often 3x as long as the target time) in order to get a high rate of questions right OR I rush through and get a lot of questions wrong because I’ve made stupid mistakes (in reading and/or diagramming). And with some, I take too much time and STILL get the majority of questions wrong. Should I take a break from LG and skip to RC? I’m honestly at a loss as to what my next step should be since I really have faithfully completed the fool-proof method—even Pacifico’s famous version of it—for all ordering logic games and a few in/out games from PT 1-35. I’ve heard that most ordering/sequencing games fall on the easier spectrum of logic games, so I’m not sure if it would be wise for me to move ahead with grouping games. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I keep picking the sucker answer choice on the hard/harder questions for weakening questions. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I overcome my biases? It is very frustrating coming down to the right answer choice and the wrong answer choice everyone picks and then picking the wrong one. I will take any suggestions. #JuneLsat here we come

Just wanted any tips or advice from people. I write the June LSAT in 2 weeks. I read all the bibles starting in feb and when I graduated at the end of April I got down to business. I started at around 153 three or four weeks ago and have since grinded my way to an average score of 160. I was temporarily stuck at ~158 but now I am ACTUALLY stuck at 160 for the past 7 tests I took regardless if it was PT 83 or PT 52. Any advice for LR or RC just to at least move me over this hump as I am now nervous as everyone tells me to expect to hit lower on the real test. I only want a 160+ mark. ://////. I get around 7-9 wrong in RC, 5-8 wrong in LR, and honestly I'm fine with LG at around 0-3. I struggle with the HARDER questions on LR and any advice how to start hitting those would rock. I PT everyday as well as review some untimed LR sections.

I've read that the August LSAT will be back to four sections, but one of them will be experimental and therefore your score won't count. Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but will the experimental section definitely be another LR like it is on all LSAC PTs, or could it also be RC or LG?

Hey all, I’m sure there’s a ton of questions like this on the forum but I haven’t quite found anything that really helps.

I’m currently getting about -8/-10 wrong on reading comprehension and scoring in the mid 160’s. Does anyone have any advice on how to lower that number to maybe -4/-5?

For context, I usually blind review my practice tests with a fresh copy, look for structure and make notes (all that jazz) but I’m not sure what else I can do to improve this number. I started doing untimed reading comprehension passages just for practice and I can tell I’m noticing trends but still getting about -2 per passage so still -8 in total but any advice would be appreciated!

I was wondering does anyone know what internet speed is needed for test day? I really do not want to run into problems and was wondering if anyone knew.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to reach out to all my June test-takers and see how you're all feeling. I, too, am writing in June and can't believe it's almost time! I'm super nervous but hoping for great results so I can put this LSAT studying behind me (as great as 7Sage is lol). Anyways, tell me how you guys feel!! Wishing you all lots of motivation in the coming two weeks and may the June LSAT bring about great results for us all :) GOOOOOD LUCK!

I do not understand why answer choice A is an incorrect answer choice. According to the passage, more incidents of injuries occurred on the ski slopes in 1950 than occurred in 1980. The question stem then asks which answer choice most conflicts with the passage. Answer choice A basically states the opposite of what is claimed in the passage, yet it is not the correct answer choice... I know I must be misinterpreting something here. I am just not sure what.

I also do see how answer choice B (the correct answer choice) is also viable and correct.

Hi All!

Any tips for how to not panic when you have absolutely no clue how to solve a Logic Games set. For example, for PT 89 - I found the Logic Games to be quite challenging and began to kind of panic LOL in the middle. But I know in real life test situations, you have to keep going.

So any advice on dealing with challenging Logic Games sets while taking the test? (e.g. skip the section, etc.)

I was very happy to read this section, but I'm wondering if you might be able to refine the advice a little more. I just looked, and even were I to limit this practice to those games ranked as "medium" hard, i.e., do every "medium" game until I can do each one within the time limit and "own" the game, I'd still need to do it on 89 games (as there are 89 games ranked "medium" in the database.) Yikes.

Do you have any further advice by any chance?

Hello!

As some of you may see my name again, you may remember my absolute freak out about LG. Well fear no more! I've consistently gotten down to a -5 (-2, -3 BR) over a handful of preptests and feel much more confident. SO the next thing on the list is LR. This is without a doubt my worst section, as I know many others are in the same boat. I'm taking the June test (and will probably have to take the August test). Are there any strategies anyone has used to improve 3 to 4 questions in LR quickly? With this time constraint I know it won't be possible to get down to -5 or less, but I just wish to see a slight improvement. So, what works best? Drilling your weaknesses? Pouring over missed questions on PTs? I'm open to all suggestions and methods!

So, I "only" got a 153 on the April LSAT but had been PTing easily 157. The day of the test I had a raging sinus infection so after getting the 153 back I was like, ok, no biggie I'll just review and crush the June retake (the only school I'm applying to wants me to retake it even though I'm already within their range of other factors). Ok, fine. After taking the 3 weeks off between the April test date and score release I started getting my first low 160s... and now this last week I'm dropping to 15/27 on RC and LR!? Am I just burnt out?! Or are the tests in the 80s just insanely harder than every other PT and I'm just wasting my time retaking in June unless my timed PT this weekend is back to my normal upper 150s/low 160s?! I know, I know, I could postpone a cycle and try again but UGH.

(I put "only" got a 153 because considering I started last May/June at a 136 I think its a massive improvement in general, just not where I know I am capable of being)

Any wise tips for the next two weeks?

I assume those of you taking the June LSAT got the email about scheduling test times.

Just my luck, my only choice for taking the test is 5-8pm on a Friday. I'm a morning person who has never started a test later than noon, and a little salty right now. I'll get over it in a bit I'm sure, but any pro tips for taking tests at times you're typically not your sharpest? AND dinner time on top of that -_-

Hello everyone, I am really struggling and need some help/direction. I started studying in January and scored a 149 on my diagnostic, but it is May (almost June) and I am averaging 159. My goal is at minimum a 165, so I am nervous that I won't score high enough. I am getting -0 to -2 on LG (not my worry), but on LR I am averaging -8 and RC -9. I am in a rut, and I do not know what will help. I finished the content on 7Sage in mid-March, and I have been using PTs, the LSAT Trainer, and Loophole. My weaknesses in LR seems to be flaw, strengthening, and SA. For RC, I think it is the timing. Any resources or advice anyone can give? What should these next two months look like for me? Thank you in advance.

Is there any extra advice you can give me on weakening questions? I have researched them numerous times, but on the last problem sets I feel like I have been completely guessing. One thing I have learned has been to find the assumption, and if you are told to weaken the argument then state that assumption; however, if you are to strengthen the argument, find that assumption and your answer will be the choice that states it and clarifies it so it is no longer an issue. Even with this advice, I still cannot seem to do it. Maybe I am struggling with finding the assumption? Or maybe whenever I read the questions I get overwhelmed? Regardless, weakening questions are destroying me right now and I feel helpless.
