I started studying last June and took my first test this January and got a 149😔. I pushed it back from October because I knew I wasn’t ready with Powerscore. I got a tutor through them and got scammed and didn’t realize till last minute 🫠. I ended up playing catch up last minute before the test, which I feel definitely played a role in my score. I plan on taking the April LSAT and know I still struggle with LR. Are there any tactics or suggestions people can offer to support with this journey.

I just got my LSAT score back. Really bad as expected. I had a terrible November experience that the LSAC had to cancel my session as I was unable to complete the test which I think really threw me off and discouraged me for January. The whole month of November was a traumatic write off for me due to numerous things, so I really only had about six weeks to cram. Top that off with the holidays and a global pandemic exploding in my province. I made the mistake applying to law schools before my November LSAT as I was feeling confident only to be shattered and waste hundreds of dollars on applications.

So now what? Should I just restart 7Sage and write sometime in the summer?

Hi y'all,

Got my Jan Flex score back and it's bad news. I went down to a 163 after having scored a 168 on the July 2020 Flex, and consistently PT'ing in the 170s prior to the January Test.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of drop before? I have literally never PT'd that low in my life, so I'm really struggling with how to approach studying for the upcoming test, as I want to retake to get in to the 170s. What strategies would you recommend going forward?

I created explanations for the first LR section of PT 89. I also included cookie cutter take aways for each question. Hopefully this is helpful to some! Let me know if you have questions or alternative ways of reasoning; I would love to hear them!

Enjoy :)

V1 seems to have a broader subject range than that.

Does anyone know of similar games to those included in PT 94? #helpadmin

Can someone shed some light on remote testing? I scheduled for the exam and there isn't an option to select testing remote. the closest testing center to me is 100 miles away. I have a time extension accommodation but that wouldn't prevent me from testing from home would it?

What did I do wrong ?

I really want to apply for the fall 24 cycle. The only thing holding me back is this damn LSAT score. GPA and other app materials are already drafted and ready to submit. Planning to take the upcoming Feb LSAT. Struggling right now to reach at least a 160. I will settle for 157-159.

Current STATS: highest PT timed so far is a 150. untimed is a 165.

I've been taking at least 2 PTs a week so far this month and been doing the BR for all of them. Idk what else to do to increase my score or if there is still hope for that even happening in the next 2-3 weeks.

If anyone is looking for a study buddy lmk!

I am stuck between C and E as answer choices. In this question, they compare two groups - intensive supervision of criminals released on parole and routine supervision. I chose E - that the assumption is that one group doesn't have far more criminals than another. Is this not a valid concern when the premise draws from a percentage? That one group will have more data than the other? Thanks!

So I am taking the February LSAT because my parents were getting on me for not taking it yet, however I do not feel super prepared. I know I have to take it, but I am definitely stressing. Reading Comprehension on the practice tests have been super high so I am not worried as much about focusing my studies towards it. But I was thinking of really diving deep into logic games because I know I can gain the most points there and take the L on LR. Logical reasoning hasn't been terrible for me, but I know that I would need way more time to study it. Does this approach make sense? What would you guys do? ( I am already planning on taking the April or June LSAT)

PrepTest B - Section 4 - Question 24

Hi! I wasn't sure why E was the answer over C. #help please!

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Hi! For those who have completed PT 94, can someone please explain game 4 for me? I think I diagrammed my rules correctly but the questions literally destroyed me.

Thank you so much in advance!

I took the lsat in november and this was my first time taking the lsat and I didn't really study that much maybe a couple of weeks. I got a 135 on the november lsat and after seeing my low lsat score I was eager to see with a couple months of studying would I make a huge jump or improvement before taking the January lsat. The test is in a couple weeks and I am overwhelmed with studying. I am a senior in college and the semester especially with midterms and finals have taken away some of my actual study time from prepping for the january lsat. I have taken a couple practice test and I still seem to be getting 135 on them and not really improving. I am at a crossroads because I wanted to see if I could get at least a 150 on this January lsat to get into this law school in my area this cycle. I feel like if it doesn't happen now I will not pursue it after I graduate this spring from undergrad. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone explain why AC A is correct?

Is there anywhere we can practice just matching a given question stem for an LR question to an LR question type? I find that when I know the question type, I can approach the question in a far better way than when I do it without matching it directly to an LR type.

I'm looking for something like some flashcards or something where I am given a Qstem and need to match it to a given LR Qstem type. Example: Q -- "Which of the following most helps to justify ..." A -- Pseudo Sufficient Assumption

I'm trying to identify flaws. is PT 56 S3 Q10 an equivocation flaw; can you use more than a word but a concept in this type of flaw?

Is PT 52 S3 Q4 a false appeal flaw?

Is PT 54 S4 Q16 an implication flaw ?

thanks

I figured out that this was a game someone made up to challenge themselves. Thanks all!

I found the answer...

I've noticed that sometimes these questions have an answer that's something like "indifferent" when referring to an author's attitude on a subject in an RC passage. Is indifferent ever really the right answer? I understand that maybe very rarely it might be the answer, but I just feel like they almost never put a passage where the author is really "indifferent" even if they don't include ANY of the author's own opinions or any polarizing words. I have fallen for the trap too many times where I see a passage and pick indifferent because I don't feel like the author has really had much of an opinion, but I don't think it's ever been the right answer. Curious about other's thoughts. This is probably one of my worst question types lol

Hi everyone,

I've been studying for almost a year and I have put in a lot of hours but I'm not making any more progress than I already have, especially in LR and RC. My diagnostic score was a 141, my personal best is a 155, and my goal is a 165.

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations to improve my LR score? It's getting very discouraging to invest so much time and money into this test and not get the score I want after so long.

I've done nearly the entire core curriculum and hundreds of problem sets in drills but it's not translating on actual prep tests and I'm very nervous to not get the score I want for when I take the test in April and June.

Any bit of help is greatly appreciated, even just saying what your strategy is for each question stem if it's different compared to what I do or what JY does.

Thanks!

Hi, everyone; thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.

I just began my LSAT journey a week ago and have been studying for multiple hours each day since then. I understand the struggle is inevitable, but MSS questions are absolutely taking me out! Subsequently, this is making it difficult to find the motivation to keep going when my screen lights up with the color red after blind reviewing and being quite confident in my reasoning. Based on the amount of time it's taking me to choose an answer, I know my over-thinking is a major player in this, but I am averaging like 2/5 and then 3/5 BR. I have found that typically, my biggest issue is that I don't see the correct answer choice even as an option for being correct because I believe it over-assumes what is said in the stimulus, and for that same reason, I am choosing the incorrect answer. The worst part is I feel like I'm not really learning anything because I just keep guessing. The only pattern for incorrect answers that I've been able to identify is when the wording is too broad. I (for the most part) understand the explanation videos but have no idea how I'm supposed to think that way when I'm actually doing the quizzes/drills. I can't articulate this as well as I had hoped, but I'm hoping someone else who has experienced this could provide strategies, approaches, etc. that helped them.

For reference, I scored a 143 on the diagnostic with no prior studying, and am hoping to take the June LSAT.
