Ever wonder which LSAT questions are really the toughest? In this episode, we dig into the data behind the hardest LSAT questions—breaking down the overall proportions of different question types and then zooming in on how those proportions shift within the notorious Harder and Hardest difficulty levels. You’ll get a clearer picture of which question types dominate the hardest tiers, how that compares to the test overall, and what that means for your study strategy.

Hi!

I am drilling by my hardest question types and doing very well with level 1-3 questions but i am having trouble with the 4/5 level questions. On some questions i am completely confused and have NO idea what i am even supposed to do and then some of them i understand but feel like i am occasionally overlooking the right answers because it looks too simple. i get that they are meant to be harder but i am struggling so much with them. if anyone has any advice is would be much appreciated!!

I took the LSAT earlier this year and scored in the low-170s. Concerned about the September LSAT due to how I felt on the test and a variety of personal factors. Should I purchase score preview so I can cancel?

I have been studying for the LSAT for about a year or so, on and off depending on whatever is going on in my life. I have taken the test and my highest score is a 164. I am trying to aim for a higher score so I can take a shot at a T-14 school (like Northwestern) with a GPA of 3.58. I took a practice test last week but it seems like I capped out at 164. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. I have been blind reviewing, but it seems like I cannot figure out for the life of me how to avoid the same mistakes I have made. Does anyone have advice?

I initially started studying for the LSAT on "LSAT Demon", mostly taking practice tests, in June. I was averaging out at about a 165, but my highest test score was a 169 right before I took the actual LSAT in August. On that test, I scored a 163. I was devastated. It completed knocked the wind out of my sails and I didn't study for all the rest of August and most of September.

I just started studying here on "7Sage" last week, as I am scheduled to take the October LSAT. On my first day of "7Sage", I took a practice test and scored a 161. When I initially studied for the LSAT, I was doing around one practice test a week, with very little other studying. Now, here on "7Sage", I've been doing around 6 hours of studying a day, mimimum, and it seems like I keep doing worse and worse. I always get at least 5 questions wrong in each section, and my drilling accuracy is 80%. Why am I getting worse? How do I fix this most efficiently? Because I am willing to do all the work necessary, but I also don't want to burn out, and it seems like "more studying" just isn't working, even though I always review every answer I get wrong.

I keep missing the difficult and very difficult questions on Logical Reasoning. Do you have any tips to help me improve on those?

Hi, I am taking the November LSAT and am PTing around the 150's right now. I want to get to the 160's before November and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get there. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I have taken the LSAT twice already and I cannot pass the 140s. I am trying to reach 155 before applying to law school. Right now i'm going through the foundations and have a study plan. Should I take a practice test at the end of my study plan in December before I start phase 2 or should I just take one now?

The Reccomended for BR feature has me feeling conflicted as someone who just switched from classic to new. The fact that it picks out questions you're incorrect on makes me wonder if its impeding my own ability to see what questions I'm likely to be wrong at. It also flags questions for BR that aren't incorrect, but makes me psychologically think they are, so I end up changing them.

What's your experience been? Have you found it helpful in understanding what you're wrong at, focusing your attention on weak areas, and being more confident? Or the opposite, is it stopping you from learning?

Is anyone still waiting to hear about accommodations for the November LSAT? It's been 2 weeks and LSAC just told me it'll probably be another 3 weeks before I have an answer

Moralist: Closing this factory would destroy 500 jobs and devastate families. We therefore should keep the factory open.

Environmentalist: Ridiculous. Merely pointing out negative consequences of the proposed factory shutdown does not prove we must keep the factory open. You’re overlooking potential benefits! This shows we should proceed with the factory shutdown.

Moralist: Pure nonsense. Obviously I know that I should have considered potential benefits and established why the costs of the factory shutdown would outweigh those benefits. But the fact that my argument was inadequate to prove my conclusion does not show that my conclusion was wrong! So your own response is flawed when you conclude that we should close the factory. Given your fallacious response, it’s clear that we should keep the factory open.

Environmentalist: Foolish hogwash. You’re the one committing the “fallacy fallacy”! Even if my own response was flawed, that doesn’t prove that we should keep the factory open. You can’t just reject my conclusion because my argument for closing the factory was a weak and unpersuasive criticism of your own argument for keeping it open. This is why the right course of action is to shut down the factory.

Moralist: Utter codswallop. Yes, perhaps I committed the “fallacy fallacy,” but the conclusion of my fallacious argument could still be true! What reason have you given for proceeding with the shutdown? None. All you’ve done is criticized my own argument against the shutdown. Hence, we should keep the factory open.

Concerned citizen: Please, just stop! Don’t you hear yourselves? You’re both committing the same fallacy over and over. Moralist, if you want to argue in favor of keeping the factory open based on the costs of a shutdown, you should show that you’ve considered potential benefits and that they either don’t exist or are outweighed by the costs. And Environmentalist, if you want to argue that we should proceed with the shutdown, you should tell us about the benefits of the shutdown and why they outweigh the costs. Tearing down each other’s arguments doesn’t build up your own. That’s why you’re both wrong. We should neither close nor keep the factory open.

Moralist and Environmentalist: Absurd drivel. Pointing out that our arguments were flawed doesn’t prove that our conclusions were false. That’s why, contrary to your absolute bilge-water conclusion, we should both close the factory and keep it open.

Hi all! This is my first time posting on here and I hope I explain my predicament clear enough. Right now I am working on logic reasoning and my accuracy is at about a 95% with level 1 questions. The second I move into level 2, 3, &4 I start to plummet, which I expected. I know it takes practice which is what I'm doing. Where my issue comes in is, when I do those higher difficulty practice questions ill be honest I get less than 50% right on the first try but the second I move into blind review, I suddenly see that I picked the wrong answer and I do end up picking the correct answer. I am wondering if anyone has some tips that they think might help?

My diagnostic was a 142 and I have yet to take another test because I really just wanted to build the knowledge of the questions first and work on it a little bit, But my accuracy is going up, just not on the first try :(

Is anyone else having trouble with the analytics and tags not working. I'm trying to drill specifics but it is not working very well.

Hi everyone!! This is my first time posting on discussion. I have a September test date and I'm not doing so well. My PT scores have been consistently decrease for the past three weeks while my BR score has been increasing. I know this is common so I know this is a timing issue. I was wondering what are the best timing drills/ strategies/ practice I can use to help. For reference, my most recent PT (149) I got a 155 and a 168 on BR. My cold diagnostic was a 150. My highest PT (140) I got a 163 with a 169 on BR. I would like to get into the 170 region but at this rate, I'm not sure if it's possible. I know that this means I know the content and need help with timing. Would love to hear some opinions!

Thanks!

Hi everyone, hope your studying is going well!

I just finished the Foundations section and the Main Conclusion section of 7sage. Is this a good time to start taking practice tests? Should I wait until I get further into the LR study section before beginning to take practice tests?

Would love to hear what you all think and what has worked for you!

Hi everyone! Is there any way to change the preferences of the blind review? I would prefer, at this point in my studying, if, after a section, blind review didn't highlight questions I got right but spent too much time on.

Hi, I took a preptest and was prompted to do the blind review right after. I clicked in order to take a brief break before doing the blind review, however now when I click on the "review" button there is no longer a blind review option available? Is this normal? How can I still do a blind review?

Hi, my target score is 155.

My test is in October.

I'm getting 143/BR157 (Sep 03) and 149/BR152 (Jul 23).

I finished all the core curriculums.

Should I work on PrepTests or Priorities by Tag?

I just got a reminder email for the free LSAC Strategy booster module. Did anyone find this worthwhile or helpful? I went through a couple slides, but I felt like it was more of a survey where THEY were collecting data rather than offering anything new or helpful.

Bailey is joined by 7Sage admissions consultant Jake Baska to discuss the shifting landscape in law school admissions. Listen in to hear advice on when to apply, when it might be to late, when you may want to kick into gear on other parts of your application, whether you should retest for a higher score, and more.

Does the negation of the right answer choice for a NA question have to completely destroy the argument or can it merely weaken?

I am currently working through Core Curriculum (CC). In doing so I came across a broken link titled Fact v Belief v Knowledge. I do not recall seeing this covered in the Foundations. I cannot access this information via the link. In the video explanation of the problem regarding Job Loss called: Lesson 3 - Job Loss J.Y. refers to a "Ground Level Truth."

Here is the link to this lesson: Lesson 3 - Job Loss

What is a Ground Level Truth? How do we access the lesson to the broken link?

Finally, does anyone have any addition feedback they can provide on this question?

PT 143 S4 Q10 (this was the question used in this lesson).

It was a bit tricky for me.

Could anyone please let me know if there's any way to take three-section practice tests (excluding the experimental) please? If this isn't already a feature, could making this a feature be possible?
