Does anyone know of a good reading comprehension tutor? This seems to be the one section I can't seem to master and would love for someone to help me figure out how to improve on this section.

I'm looking for an RC study partner or 2 where we go over at least 1 passage in depth every other night leading up to the October exam so we can all become more consistent in our strategies and answers. I'm PTing in the mid 160's but scored below that on the August exam so I'd like a study partner who is in the same range as me and dedicated to improving. We've got this!

Hi all I am really struggling with the games section. I have foolproofed all the games from 1-35 and 60-70 and am still really struggling on my pt’s. I just can not seem to get better than -6/7 and am feeling kind of hopeless and not sure of what else to do. I continue foolproofing the above games during the week between practice tests but it just does not seem to be helping my performance much on new pt’s. Any suggestions on what to do would be very much appreciated!

Hey everybody, If anyone needs any help with LG I can help increase your score! I’ve done all the available games through 7Sage (I think 380 games in total). Please please message me if you need help!

I'm beyond excited. It feels so surreal. I'm positive I couldn't have gotten this score without 7sage, especially on Logic Games. I'm gonna miss J.Y.'s voice!

Title pretty much says it.

My study schedule right now is prep-tests Monday and Friday, RC, LG and LR practice Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday. I just scored a 162 on the August Flex but need at least a 165 for my target school (Arizona State). My weakness is always RC. I tend to miss 5-8 questions there on my prep tests and I know that is holding me back from getting higher scores. I always emphasize RC practice on my off-preptest days and put more time into RC than the other two, simply because it is my weakest section.

Does anybody have tips for getting better at RC, other than practicing passages over and over? It is very possible that I just need more practice but I figured it was worth reaching out to the community to see if you guys/gals have any other strategies that work for you!

Appreciate any insight here, thank you in advance!

I just wanted to put this here to end off my LSAT journey right. I started studying using 7sage in April. I studied full time, almost 7 hours a day every day for months and ended up with a 165 on my first try. I wanted to put this here to reinforce the fact that studying pays off. If you follow the core curriculum and work hard you will get the score you want. I only needed a 158 for my school of choice and scored 7 points higher because of this community and platform. Thank you so much 7sage!!! I will continue to recommend this incredible network to all of my friends.

hi guys, just my score an hour ago and i am insanely upset, disappointed, and angry at myself. i started at a 144 and i received a 159 on the august test. i know there are worse scores, but i had been studying for 6 months for 6-8 hours a day and when i walked out of the test, i really thought i did at least above 160. i felt good about it, so i just dont understand what happened. i had been pt'ing 160-165 and br 166-174. i am so upset and i dont even know how i will bring myself to feel encouraged to study for the november exam, as i feel like ill just be disappointed again.

now here i am, gonna waste my whole friday crying about the score and drinking at 1130am...happy score release day lol

i hope that the rest of you are drinking because you got what you wanted, or wasting away ur friday because u got ur goal score and deserve a day off.

thanks for reading

I had a 140's diagnostic around January 2020 and was stuck in the 160's since at least March 2020 (with an occasional 170+ score but these were on older pre-J07 tests only-- I only got one 170 score on newer PT)

Like many of you, I was aiming for a 170+ score on the real LSAT, but I was scared as hell because I was stuck in the mid-160's for sooooo long; to be exact, I was stuck at 166 for almost every single preptest in the 70's and 80's

After I took the 2020 August LSAT I continued to study assuming I was going to have to retake for October, and my score actually dropped from 166 to 164 during these past 2 weeks in the last few preptests I took; it made me so sad and scared

Just found out I got a 170 today

So relieved...

P.S. For those who wanted to know how I studied, I have used 7sage (obviously) but never did the CC; I had one hour of tutoring but the tutor just didn't work for me, and I am cash-strapped, so I didn't hire a tutor ever again

In addition-- here are my 2 cents:

Contrary to popular belief, the LSAT is incredibly formulaic; so even if you have no natural LSAT gift (like me), by recognizing what wrong answers look like and what right answers look like, the LSAT becomes almost like math

LEARN from your mistakes; and when I say learn, I don't just mean understand why each answer is right and why each answer is wrong; go one step further by learning WHY you thought an answer was wrong (when it was actually right) and vice versa, and then write down what you learned in a journal and review that journal so that you don't miss questions like that ever again

so many questions on the actual test I think I got right simply because I spent hours/days/WEEKS trying to fully understand a few really hard problems (especially in LR); as a result, on test day, there were so many questions where, while none of the answers looked right, I just picked an answer based on pattern recognition of wrong answer choices that I wrote down in my LSAT journal

it is not about how many PT's you take, but how well you review; the 2 weeks before the LSAT, I spent the entire time just making sure I fully understood PT 88 in its 100% entirety; apparently doing that worked

And lastly, THANK YOU to everyone on this forum who has answered my LSAT questions-- I couldn't have done it without you all

A long and hard 8 months and I'm finally done studying for the LSAT. It was my dream throughout this study experience to be able to post something like this. I am absolutely thrilled to see this score today, it is the most fulfilling experience I've had, to see my hard work worth it in the end.

Thank you so much JY for making me a logic games pro and being an absolutely fantastic instructor. Will happily share with anyone how I studied!!!! :) Good luck to anyone studying -- You got this!!!!!

Thank you so much 7-sage!!!!

Cant believe this is even real

Thanking my friends here at 7sage for carrying me through it. See y'all on the other side ;)

Hey all,

So, I got my August results and hit about my average of 155. I am not too disappointed in this mark as I was hovering around this for a while. The area where I struggle most is LR. RC is always between -7 and -11, so I do not want to focus on this area. LG is consistently -1 to -5. LR fluctuates the most with -8 to -16. I find that even when I am confident in an answer, I still get it wrong and once it is explained on here it totally makes sense. I can't seem to wrap my brain around it. I am planning on writing again in October and November. My goal is 160, so I am not too far off, and that should be good enough seeing as I have a great AGPA.

I am thinking that I will go through my practice questions on 7Sage again. I will do them timed, do my BR, and repeat this process until something sinks in.

I am wondering if anyone has any other tricks that worked for them with LR? While 7Sage has helped me a lot, I am just looking for some suggestions on LR studying that worked for others?

Thanks in advance,

Stephan

I went from a 152 diagnostic and just got my score back and I got a 170!!! I genuinely never believed this was possible for me and was so upset and anxious so much throughout the process. Don't give up, you can do it! I worked full time this summer, and was a full time student in the spring. I started studying in March, and used 7sage to get from the 163ish mark to pt above 170. I self-studied with powerscore before 7sage. My highest pt was only a 172 though. Believe in yourself, hype yourself up, and know that YOU can do this!!!

I got my August score back today (161) and it's a full 10 points below my PTs (range 169-174, avg 171). I'm registered for October and now I'm really shaken going into it. Does anyone have any advice? I've been studying (except for a short post-test break) ever since the August test by doing PTs and writing explanations as review. I'm going to take the weekend off because I feel burnt out and upset, but I'm not sure how to optimize my studying for the last two weeks. On practice tests I usually go between -1 and -3 on LR, -1 to -3 on LG, and -3 to -5 on RC. On the August test the games threw me for some reason and since that was the first section I wasn't too confident for the rest of the test. I'm not sure if it's a burnout thing, a confidence thing, or if I have a shaky foundation that cracks under pressure..... #help #cry

Is anyone else having issues with the lsac website and trying to see their scores?

Hey everyone, I just got my August LSAT score and it was a 157. I know, and knew before hand that I will be re-writing again. But just wondering if anyone has any experience or knows anyone who has been admitted in to Canadian law schools. Would a 157 and a 4.0 GPA with good softs make me a potential candidate for any schools? (I know the stats are posted on websites, but am looking for a more personal contact) Just looking for a bit of peace of mind until I can rewrite and get into the 160s

I read the LSAT bibles and took a few paper tests for a month, and then I spent 3 months on 7Sage. Thank you to JY, 7Sage community, and @GrindMode . If you put your effort into LSAT study, you can make huge strides. Don't forget your spiritual, physical, and mental health along the way. Peace.

I recently finished my second go at the LR portion of the CC. Up to this point I have been drilling untimed and by question type (PTs1-11 and 20-35). Doing this has allowed me to become more comfortable with LR. However, I am not sure what my next move should be. Should I do a timed section of LR? I have saved PTs 12-19 for section drills, just not sure if I am ready for that yet. How do you track your improvement on timed sections? Do you use data from timed sections to go back to drill by question type? I would really appreciate any insight.

ive been studying since february as a full-time undergrad and was consistently around the high 160s-low 170s for tests. just got my score and it's a 162.

i don't know what went wrong? i know the score itself is fine, but it is so far off my expectations. i don't know where to go from here. i've been so over this test ever since i took it in august -- how do i get back to studying?

Just received my August LSAT Flex score. I had been studying since May / Early June, while working an internship at the beginning of my studies.

I come from a political background, worked in politics, and have a 3.7 GPA. My diagnostic was a 142 in April. And I began PT'ing from 159-162 all summer . . . (which is okay since I am Canadian and honestly was aiming for 160's). My final official score was a 149. Since it was my first time taking the LSAT, I signed up for score preview and cancelled that immediately!

Overall, I feel really bad about myself to say the least.. and I don't really think my family and friends understand the challenges and nuances of the test ... which is fine but overall, feeling very low and alone. Don't really know what else to say except that I still really want to go to law school, as my whole life has been working up to this point. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things, since i took the past 2 weeks as a break (I never really took breaks this summer) and hopefully since I registered as a back-up for the November the test I can get back to PT'ing in the 160's.

I usually did timed sections, did not really do as much blind review of ALL answers on PT's . . . only the ones I got wrong.

I honestly just want a 165 and my sanity back.

Any tips from those who have had retake? Maybe studying tips or a study group... I don't know.

Also, I am applying this cycle. So I am also stressed with essay writing and now studying. So, time management tips also welcome.

Thanks for listening.

just got my results for the august flex and was about 3-4 points off what I needed/wanted. Really disappointing to see it because I went through a rough 4 and half months and wanted to just never look at the lsat again. I know it would probably be best to take again but like i dont even know where to start or what to do for prep until the november test. I am a senior in school now so I have other work to worry about and an internship so I cant even put all my attention on it like i did this summer. The score I got is about 4 points off the 25 percentile in my top three schools so it would be a reach, but my gpa is just under the 75th percentile so not sure if i should roll the dice or just prep and take again. helppppp

Hi there!

If you are seeking a tutor for logic games, you have come to the right place. I have yet to take the LSAT (working on other sections), however, I have conquered the games section. I can provide proof of my scores on various game sets. I can help with any type of game and I will create a custom study schedule for you based on your needs. If you are interested, please message me for more details.

I look forward to helping you reach your LG goals!

Nicole

Does anyone have any advice on getting LG down from -3 average to -1/0? I am currently averaging -2 on both LR and RC, so this is the only thing holding my score back from my goals. I have done every game from PT 1-35 multiple times and am not sure how to proceed. Should I continue taking full PTs and redoing the new games? I would not say i'm struggling with any particular game type, but I tend to make 1 costly error like misreading a rule and losing a ton of time before figuring it out. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey all, I recently started working with @tmh5947 & he is AMAZING! He's a pro in Logic Games, I was so overwhelmed learning LG, but Tyler made it less tedious and easy to understand! The best part is, for those on a budget like me, he only charges $25 and hour. The first half hour is free, so it's $12 for the first session! Tyler's super sweet and is EXTREMELY knowledgable. This is not an advertisement, I truly work with Tyler, and I couldn't be happier. For anyone who wants to reach out, his e-mail is tmh5947@psu.edu

You WON'T be disappointed.
