I have noticed that I struggle the most with Link Assumption questions, despite scoring strong on Sufficient and Necessary Assumption questions. Any advice on what to study to help curb this?

I am going through what I thought was a J curve except I haven’t recovered yet. I am scoring lower than I was when I started taking regular PTs about 2 months ago. My past few PTs have been in the highs 150s, but my Blind Review are between 168-176. Does anyone have any tips for how to close this gap? 

I am focusing on the types of questions that I get wrong but wondering if there was anything specific I could do to try to get to my BR score during timed PTs as well. Thank you!

Approaching analogy questions

Analogy questions are the one type of questions I have routinely had no idea how to approach. Even when I read the explanation I often am still confused on how you're supposed to arrive at the answer or even how it's an apt analogy. What are people's strategies?

How to Properly Drill?

I'm new to drilling. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to drill? How many questions should I start with, time or untimed, etc. Any advice is appreciated!

Not sure if this matters, but I got a 151, 151, and 160 on PTs. I won't be taking more PTs until I start drilling. Thanks!

Edit: I am nearly done with 7Sage's cirriculum

Edit: So I just finished drilling 5 questions, and I got 3 correct, but I got all five correct during blind review. Would the next step be to analyze each question/just the questions I had trouble with and then do extensive reasoning on my thought process for each question? I know spending time is necessary, but I'm just not sure what the most time-efficient way of doing this would be. any advice is appreciated!

I just took a PT and I am devastated. The experimental LR section was -3. Had it been swapped out, I would have scored a 163 rather than a 157. I know we can't choose on the real exam, but it is ARBITRARY here; these are not real experimental sections, and we are not given the option of a three section PT. From a mental perspective, seeing a range of possible scores would be really helpful. I know I have to go back and dig into all of the sections, which I will do. But I have to tell you that I feel like quitting right now. It sucks that my mood would be so much different if it had popped up as a 163, but that’s what’s up.

Also, what is going on with the typing field here? I had to write this in Word and paste it is. Every other keystroke is being erased, doubled, or backed up? Anyone else having this issue?

I have taken some full practice logic sections recently, and have noticed that a lot of the harder questions are near the end. Because of this, does anyone recommend starting at the end with questions and working your way to the beginning? Just curious if this is a good strategy :)

Drilling

What does it mean when I get 100% (correct) on the actual question but then 0% (incorrect) on blind review? Or vise versa. Sometimes I get down to 2 answers and feel confident about an answer then redo the question in blind review and may end up selecting the other answer.

BR on drills?

The Core Curriculum talks about benefits of BR on PTests. I've been doing it on my drills too, is that also recommended?

After three months of studying with the LSAT Trainer and other textbook-based resources, I moved on to 7sage because I heard good thing about it, but I've found myself scoring lower and being more confused on questions.

Did all of my knowledge suddenly disappear, or is the LSAT Trainer irrelevant to studying with 7sage, or am I just adjusting differently to studying on the screen?

Stopping/Resuming a PT

hi, I am in the middle of a practice test but need to stop it and resume the next day. Will the system hold my spot for that long? like 17-18 hours?

Hi,

due to some unfortunate circumstances, I havent been able to study for the August LSAT as efficiently as I should have and I'm starting to panic, are there any tips on what I should be prioritizing? (parts of the cc that are most important or just drills and pt's at this point).

Thanks!

I find myself getting stuck on a lot of weaken/strengthen questions in RC because I just don't know how to approach it. In LR I always tell myself to look for assumptions and overlooked possibilities, and in general think of making the premises less supportive or stronger support for the conclusion, and also staying away from trap answers that independently attack the conclusion or deny premises. However, in RC there's not really clear premises or reasoning so I find it hard to wrap my head around how we're supposed to then strengthen or weaken an author's argument, and whether we should consider ACs that seem to independently go against their position or give an independent reason to strengthen it.

Any suggestions on how to think about these questions?

3rd Time Tester

I first attempted this behemoth in 2017 right after undergrad. In hindsight, I was not ready. I tried again in 2024 but mistakingly applied and got denied from one law school. For my third attempt, I am implementing new strategies such as 7Sage and will be applying to 7 law schools. Be Patient with yourself & always try again.
