I completed a PT, and I am doing the blind review. I noticed all of the questions are blank. Aside from the questions I flagged or 7Sage suggested I take another look at, the questions I answered, which I assume I answered correctly because they were not circled are now blank. I checked off the box that would leave correct answered questions. Can someone please help? Does this mean I need to do the PT all over again? And blind reviewing takes much longer.

Is it possible to update the font size before a practice drill?

Updating the font size during the drill, takes time away from focusing on the drill itself.

The default size in the practice drills is too small to read without straining my eyes.

What is the default size for LSAC?

Is it possible to recommend to LSAC to make changing the font size at the beginning (during the instructions phase of the test) before the test starts as an option as opposed to during the test?

So I've been studying consistently, drill consistently every day about a section a day review and then two passages, vice versa (RC section the 10q LR) ... I've been seeing a huge gap between my first pass score timed sections, vs. my blind review. I've been keeping up on my wrong answer journal, I definitely see an improvement on the way I approached certain question types, but in all honesty I'm a bit nervous because I registered for the October test. Any tips?

I thought I did poorly on this comparative drill for no reason! Predicted that I got a 2/6, I was so shocked when I actually got a 6/6! This is a lesson for me to trust my abilities, and I did it in 10 minutes too!

Hello, whenever on the 7sage site I get 1 question at a time, I always do blind review if i did not get it correct the first time.

However, I have a problem when i get multiple questions, since I don't want to blind review if i did not know which questions I got right or not. Is there a way to blind review multiple questions but only do it for the ones that the system knows I got wrong?

I just came here to vent, but also look for help. I've been studying since last August, and it feels like I'm stuck in the same place. I've read the books, I've done the wrong answer journals, and I did the fundamentals on 7Sage, but it feels like nothing is working. On the drills, I feel way more comfortable, consistently getting just one or two wrong depending on how many, and even level 4/5 questions I get right every time. My diagnostic was a 148, but since then I've only had PT scores that are 153-155. Whenever I do sections for LR, I get about -9 to -7 on the first go, but on my Blind Reviews I'm consistently getting -3 to -2. The same goes for my PTs, where my blind reviews have been improving as I went from 165 to now scoring consistently in the 168 to 170 range. I've spent months trying to close this gap, but literally nothing is doing it. I'm already taking a gap year and plan to test in November; however, with my new full-time job, it's even harder to study. If I wasn't improving before, I don't see how I would now with this new schedule. At this point, I want to give up.

Has anyone felt this way? What are some tips, and how did you close your gap or motivate yourself?

Hey Everyone any recommendations on January Lsat, any admissions officers here with tips or if anyone knows people from the past. I know a lot of schools work on rolling admissions but would someone that scored in November and January with the same score do they have the same chance from acceptance and scholarship wise. Also, can u still get a full ride in January and a good acceptance rate or even any good scholarship?

I studied by doing an unbelievable amount of drills and occasionally popping into lecture videos. Seeking advice on how to make sure I can perform at the level consistently

Any advice on how to improve RC asap? I am taking the September LSAT, and I am aiming for mid 160's. My RC section consistently brings my score down. I always seem to run out of time because I am taking too long to read the passages, but I can't imagine reading them any faster than I am. Help!!

Also, any advice on how to get rid of trap answers is welcome, I'd love to get my BR score lol

I keep getting them wrong no matter how many questions is do. What helped you ace these questions?

Hello everyone, this is my first time making a discussion post, as I was curious if anyone could provide tips or strategies for improving one's score on PTs. I feel like I have all the pieces to a puzzle, but I can't seem to get the pieces to fit, which is why I'm posting here to get advice and help from everyone here.

Hi guys. I need some help and advice on what to write about and how to make a good personal statement. Please let me know.

Recently, I have turned on even older PTs in my test prep pool (labeled "Bonus Preptests" in the PrepTest pools) for more practice.

In these sections, I've encountered questions phrased very differently from what we are used to seeing. I've also noticed that these Bonus PTs have a significantly higher number of 5-star questions than some newer sections.

I understand that these are not the most representative of the modern LSAT and should be used for extra practice. However, I am trying to better evaluate my performance and am wondering how 7Sage determines what constitutes a 5-star question.

It's encouraging to realize that I am getting a better percentage of 5-star questions correct, but I can't help but wonder if there are more 5-star questions on the Bonus Preptests because fewer 7Sagers have taken these questions?

(I am also generally curious about the differences between older PTs and newer PTs, if anyone has anything to share!)

My goal score is 164-168. Right now I am PT'ing at around 159/160, but my biggest issue is that I KEEP changing my correct answers to wrong ones. On my last PT, I would have gotten a 164 EXCEPT I changed 6 CORRECT answers (LR and RC) to wrong ones.

Being self-aware (and relying on 7SAGE AI), I can hypothesize that this is me not trusting my logic and falling for traps. However, I feel like there is more to this. Do I need to read slower or recognize traps better? I am interested in how others have overcome this issue. My goal is to take the October LSAT, and I know I have enough time to fix this issue if I had the correct guidance

My first 170 after being stuck in the mid-160s for the last month. I made big improvements on my RC this time and actually got to half-attempt my final passages in each section. Motivated to keep this up as I get closer to my September test. Anything is possible!! - Kevin Garnett

I'm 75% through a practice test and my testing platform is slow, unresponsive and not loading well. The timer just keeps ticking down. Anyone else experiencing this? I tried switching wifi networks with no success.

Hi everyone! I am looking for advice on a topic I want to pursue for my personal statement, and was wondering if anyone could help or direct me to someone/somewhere that can help! I don't necessarily have the money to spend, especially since I currently just need some quick advice on my potential topic. Thank you!

My baseline on 7Sage, LawHub, and Blueprint was in the mid-150s, and my last full mock was 151. Since this was PT117 (with material from 2004), do you think that the later PTs are harder?

Hello everyone, I'm really lost at where I should go moving forward with studying. I have taken the past month and a half off of full pts to focus on the core curriculum and just learning the material overall. I have been taking timed LR sections and been doing fine, but when I just took pt 117 I scored 151. I wanted to take the Oct LSAT, but I'm doubtful that I can hit upper 150s in time now that I got this score. Before I was hitting around 5-7 questions wrong per LR section and usually having my projected score in the low 160s or upper 150s. Also, on the exp section I only got 4 wrong on this pt.

Is anyone in a similar situation or has been in one?

Thanks

Techniques that I thought really helped:

RC

• When you're choosing between 2 narrowed down ACs on RC that both seem like they could plausibly describe what's going on, ask: if I had to rewrite the passage based on what this AC says, would I land on something that actually looks like the passage I just read? If you wouldn't, then eliminate it.

• After every paragraph on RC, re-tell yourself what the gist of the paragraph is and why the author included it, the overall type of piece (spotlight, argument, weighing two arguments and evaluating, etc.) and the point the author is trying to make. At the end of every passage you read, summarize why the author wrote the passage. I had this advice given to me across countless video lessons and question explanations but hadn't actually honed the practice of doing it. Actually doing it makes a big difference.

• The LSAT will punish you so much more for not tracking the purpose of a paragraph or who said XYZ in any passage, than it will for you failing to comprehend exactly what XYZ means. Especially on dense scientific or humanities passages that seem to be talking about very abstract and esoteric things, focus on contextualizing why the author/the voices within the passage are saying particular things, and don't let failure to understand their particular subject matter throw you off.

LR

• I had a tendency of leaving 2 ACs alive on hard LR questions and then spending a bunch of time trying to choose between them. Resist that pattern and just narrow it down to one AC on the first pass, as much as possible. You can usually find something wrong with 4 out of 5 ACs as long as you're discerning enough.

• If you're really stuck between 2 ACs, reread every single word of the question and ask which one answers the precise question better.

• If you're spending more than 1:30 on a question and you're trying to choose between ~2 ACs and you really can't decide, just make your best guess based on your gut and move on. I made 3 guesses like this on the last LR section here and they all turned out to be correct, but it left me with so much more time to tackle the harder questions at the end and do them well.

• I was plateauing in the low 170s for a while, and I think today helped me realize that the true gap between that and a high 170s score, once you've drilled enough to have most of the concepts down, is just being really disciplined in your execution. The formula for every question is read the question first, read the stimulus with the question in mind, predict the answer, assess ACs. If you catch yourself straying from that formula at any point, on even one question, just take 2 seconds to close your eyes and re-anchor around it.

• I previously sped through the first ~17-20 questions of a section with maybe 10 minutes to spare at the end, and tried to move quickly to then use remaining time to double-check questions, but then I would not be able to catch questions I got wrong because I was speeding so fast I didn't even realize the trap I fell for. It was helpful to recalibrate to target actually just having 3-5 minutes left at the end, and taking enough time going through the questions the first time that I could catch those traps instead.

I am having major gaps by 10 points for every PT I am doing. It is so annoying because my blind review is my goal score. I find myself just taking too long to answer questions or reading the stem and just getting lost because I feel time pressure. Its so annoying and I want to over come this stupid hurdle. Ultimately, I've come to the conclusion that its probably due to my shaky foundations/non-existent confidence. This is beyond frustrating.
