My best PT so far! It's great to see the work paying off.

However, given the jump from my previous scores, I'm hesitant to take this as a definite marking point. Does anyone have any tips for consistency at this level (and translating a PT to a real logged score)?

I have noticed that, after seeing an attractive AC, I tend to be overly skeptical of the others, approaching them with prejudice simply because I have already found an appealing AC. The result is that I miss questions with tempting A or B choices but better D and E's. Any advice on ensuring each AC is adequately scanned for potential? I feel like there is a time consideration balance to be struck here, as finding a predicted AC and then advancing can be a valuable pacing strategy.

Does anyone know if on test day, we can make the text size larger? I know that with the new UI, you can change it while drilling. However, I want to be sure that if I do practice with a larger font, then I will be able to use that same size on the real test. Thank you for any input!

Hi all,

I noticed that the LawHub interface didn't change while the interface on 7Sage changed to a new one (ie. flag replaced by dots) - which one is going to be what we see in the August test?

Thanks!

How often do you guys usually take practice tests? I'm taking the August LSAT and just want to keep taking practice tests to reassure myself (getting a closer-to-goal score is so addicting) but I'm as equally afraid of burnout as I am of uncertainty.

Do people recommend signing up for multiple back to back LSATs before getting your first score back? I hope to apply to school this Fall as early as I can, but am taking my first ever LSAT in August and am not sure how I will score since I'm currently scoring within a wide range (158-169). I am hoping to break at least a 165. Should I just sign up for the September LSAT too to have something lined up in case I am not satisfied with my August score? Or wait for my first score and maybe sign up for the October one later?

Part of me doesn't want to lose momentum and I want to have a better idea of what score I'm applying with earlier on so I can tailor my school list to that (meaning I would sign up for September too), but I also don't want to rush the process to the point where I am sacrificing my best possible score. Trying to find the balance between applying early and getting a decent LSAT score. I also don't want to push off applying another year... so am trying to get the LSAT out the way :)

I am taking the August test and have been super confident in LR for a bit. -5 is basically the worst LR section im getting at all, I just cant get my RC up. RC scores will at best be -7 no matter what. Does anyone have any advice.

it made me the host when clayton's internet kicked him out because of the alphabet I think... because I left the meeting and it asked me to pick a host

I've been jumping from 149 to 150, to 155 , then to 149. I feel like I am able to break into 150's but I want to be more consistent in obtaining that score. I study consistently, I participate in BR, and I have also gone back into the foundations just incase I needed a refresher on logic/causation. I know my weak areas and also drill those as well. I don't want to get frustrated but any pointers or tips? Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I'm following the comprehensive core cirrciuylum and just finished the LR section. I just started Reading Comp. Should I just follow the plan exactly as it is and focus on Lr for now or should I start doing LR questions as well? I dont want to forget a lot of the LR content while I study for reading comp. Any advice or guidance would be great. Thank you

I took a test in April and got 160. Considering I was balancing studying with work and school, I was very proud of my score, but I want to get it up to at least a 165. I've been drilling and logging my errors, trying to make sense of what needs to change, and my most consistent mess-up is inference (especially in RC) and conditional logic. Are there any tips on how I can be thorough with my CR mapping, my RC reading while still getting the right answers in time???

Hi everyone! So I’m taking the August test, and I just took PT 156 last night and I’m feeling discouraged based off my results. I had been consistently scoring in the upper 150s on PTs in the 150s, but for this particular exam it was like the arguments weren’t clicking for me at all. I will deeply review it but I feel like I’m getting really stressed that the same thing will happen on my actual exam next month. Any advice?

I've been studying on and off for about a year (with big breaks because of school, work, etc.). I've been pretty consistently scoring in the high 160s but really want to be 170+ (at least) on the actual test. I was planning on taking the test in September after an advanced course in August. The deadline to register is the end of this week. However, I feel nervous signing up for it unless I'm already scoring in my goal range, as I've had to back out before and lost a lot of money. I also want to apply during this application cycle and know it's better to get apps in as early as possible. Should I take a risk and sign up for the September one or push it to October??

PT 155 put BTA on me on a fine Sunday afternoon. RC was so bad for me that I lowkey think JY and Kevin are about to trade me for some picks to clear up that cap space.

in all honesty, a 160 is still a decent score for my goals. but god damn, pt 155 got me thinking 170+ is a ring and I am James Harden

I'm kind of confused. I took a PT tonight and wasn't able to answer 5 questions- ran out of time. I am working on BR right now but my score timed isn't adding the 5 questions that I didn't do, so my score is "higher" because of that. Like it didn't count the ones I didn't do wrong, so they are basically counted right. Does anyone know why that is the case?

Hi Everyone - I'm wondering if anyone is having a similar issue to me.

I have been taking the full practice tests on LawHub directly and noticed that once the 5 minute warning appears, I'm not longer able to select (or blur) any answer choices. I'm able to get passed it by exiting full screen then clicking it again, it seems to give the system a little reset, but who knows if I'll be able to do that on test day.

I have already emailed LSAC and I'm waiting to hear back but I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else? Really hoping to not have any more surprises before August..

This is really exciting for me and is my highest PT so far! If anyone has any tips to both maintaining this score and pushing my limit higher, please let me know!

Does anyone have a good reccomendation of how to set up their wrong answer journal. Thank you!

I took the June LSAT and I still haven't submitted my writing sample! I put so much focus on the multiple choice exam that I didn't even give thought to the writing portion. Now I have questions and I really need to get this done. For instance, do you need to actually complete the entire essay? I struggle with the time constraints so I'm not confident I can draft a whole quality essay in less than an hour. Also does it have to be several paragraphs long? I've read some example submission and they seem way too long to convey simple thoughts or ideas. Help please!!!

In LR, the non correct answers are not just “less correct” in comparison to the credited answer, they also generally have something which makes them, in isolation, a bad answer and easily eliminated.

Is the same true for RC? Or will there be times when two answers are plausible and you have to make a judgement call which is better.

Obviously one AC is more supported than the other and one can understand that support and the rationale from the passage, but I’m wondering whether in RC one can generally assume there will be things actually wrong with the non credited answers.

Thanks sm!!

Last week while out climbing I came across this sign, which makes for a great Math exercise. I'm gonna give you a series of questions to answer. Post your answers to them all, or just one, or a few you feel confident in.

I'm off on another trip this weekend, but when I get back I'll loop around and give feedback on everyone's answers. I might even choose a winner to give some kind of prize. No guarantees on that last part lol.

Here's the challenge.

Based on these graphs and the text above, I've come to two conclusions:

i) 5.8 is the most dangerous climbing grade in Eldo.

ii) Most accidents on 5.8 routes in Eldo are a result of leader falls.

Please provide correct answer choices to the following questions. Bonus points for wording them as closely to real LSAT answers as possible. I encourage you to look at example Math questions for guidance on phrasing.

1: Why is each conclusion vulnerable to criticism?

2: For each conclusion, what fact, if true, would undermine that conclusion?

3: For each conclusion, what fact, if true, would support that conclusion?

4: For each conclusion, what question, if true, would help us determine the truth of that conclusion?

5: For each conclusion, what is an assumption required for that conclusion to follow from the information in the photo?

6: For each conclusion, what assumption would allow that conclusion to be properly inferred from the information in the photo?

Is it based on content difficulty? Question difficulty? Both?

Thanks!
