I am not sure if i should cancel or not. the percentiles and score bands are very different. Has anyone here cancelled and had a good outcome?

Is it safe to say that on the LSAT we always have to accept the premises as true? When I do an LR section, I don't usually take the time to "attack" arguments and prephrase. I basically quickly glance at the question stem, read the argument (identifying the conclusion and evidence), and then, I go straight to the AC's. Maybe, I'm too obsessed with timing. Generally, I -6 on LR. Does anyone have any strategies, or suggestions?

I want to thank this wonderful site and staff for tagging along on this LSAT journey. I want to thank the entire staff for helping me achieve my dreams. Starting off with a 148 Diagnostic I was discouraged and inundated with Reddit wisdom establishing my ceiling as a 158 at best. I leave today knowing that there is no such ceiling.

Hello, I have been studying for a handful of months now after I rushed way too early last febuary and bombed the test with a 139 7 lower than my diagnostic.(I hate tests) I was aiming for this February to take it again in hopes that I could achieve a score in the mid 150s. Except it just seems that no matter what I do I cannot figure out this test. Lately I have been slowly going through the course and just drilling question types as many times as possible in hopes that I slowly start to develop strategies and then take another PT. Ive been told this is not hard to do multiple times from people but I just feel lost. Any advice or a breakdown of what your study schedule was I would appreciate. Mid 150s would get me into a decent law school :) but as of now Im basically just losing hope :/

Hello!

The title says it all, but I have been studying for about 10-15 hours / week on my own with 7Sage, The LSAT Trainer, and Loophole while working part-time for the past 5 months. I used to PT around 160-162 since August, but since moving to a new house in September, I started scoring below 150-155. On the October Test, I thought I did better on RC and LR than usual, but on LG, which was the last section, I completely panicked and had to guess half of them, whereas during PT's LG was my strongest section, where I missed 0 to 1 every time, and what kept me motivated. I know I could have put in more time and effort, and although I am not a super genius, I was pretty despaired and depressed to not see any increase at all (combined GPA is 3.94, graduated from top 10). The 150 score is highly making me doubt my aptitude in this field and question if I should continue studying or if it would be wise to give up now. Studying and practicing the law has always thrilled me, but I have often felt like I am not really the type of person for the LSAT. I thought about getting a tutor or attending a class, but am not in the right financial situation to be able to afford that..:/ If I should continue, should I cancel my score, or will that play against me? I would love any advice, as I am very stuck in making this decision. Thank you so much in advance!!

Can anyone please tell me how the answer choice (B) is correct and (C) is wrong?? I just can't get myself to understand. This just sounds like the question is playing word games.

Hey guys! So I started with a diagnostic of 147 and have managed to pull my PT's up to the 163 ish range currently. Do you think it is possible at all to score a 168 or 169 by the time I actually take the test on Nov. 9th? I am usually getting about 21/28 on RC, 20-21/25 on LR and 19/23 ish on LG depending on the test. I will keep a 163 or better, but I am trying to attend UGA and have heard that I really need a 169 or better to ensure I get in. Thanks!~

Hi,

I have a quick question about an issue I encountered. I took the September test with no issues online with an approved writing but received an email about a score hold 2 days before release date. I emailed them asking why and they sent me an email with a generic answer and survey asking whether I used a VPN, took the test at home, and what materials I used to study for the LSAT. They aren't telling me anything else so I was wondrring if the unplugged team has seen these situations and what I should expect. I don't recall any possible issues with my test session so I am hoping this is first time taker high score hold. Are there more incidents or a high score hold or simple miscellaneous security issues from such a score hold?

Any information about score holds would be appreciated.

Thanks!

My post 2007 PTs that I haven't touched now has LR questions used. This only happened when I switched to V2, can this be fixed?

PT5 Section 1 Q15

Does anyone have any insight into this question? I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what the prompt is asking. Is the correct answer a possible argument that M will make?

I have a question regarding a logic game. The rule says that S has to be the SHORTEST of the five.

So, why is B correct, as S is listed in the third position not the fifth. May you please advise?

Why is AC E incorrect? The stimulus says "for any one of instance of reproduction, a given female will use only one of the two methods".

Can we have a tutorial for PT2 S2 Q17

Scheduled to take the LSAT Nov 8 and am consistently scoring in the low to mid 150's. Logic games is still my worst section, and honestly I have little faith in foolproofing. Whenever I feel like I'm finally starting to get it, I'll take a PT and see something I don't know how to handle and bomb it. There's so many games, this is starting to feel pointless. Beginning to get very frustrated. What the heck should I do? What would you do if you were me?

I wanted to see if anyone is having the same issue. I opened up Prometric scheduling tool right when it was available for in person testing, 3 pm ET. It is telling me there is no availability near me, I even tried nearby states and cities and it is giving me no options for test centers. It seems not right and hard to believe there are no centers in my whole state. I took the September LSAT in my hometown here. Is anyone else having trouble finding any center at all?

Yesterday I had the privilege of working through a problem with J.Y. It’s in here if you are curious;

https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/13637/pt-82-br-sessions-with-j-y-spoiler-warning

The question was PT82.S4.Q14 a weakening question.

After working through it I can see where I was confused. I see how the two answer choices that stumped me are different.

My question is, that on some questions, I find myself really struggling to see how they work. This is ESPECIALLY true for weakening questions. On some of these questions I have a really hard time seeing how any AC does something to the argument or, more succinctly, the conclusion. Only through really intense scrutiny of these kinds of problems am I able to get to the answer. Obviously I do not have the time to do this kind of in-depth analysis during a test.

For example on the question J.Y. Helped me with I was able to eliminate 3 answer choices fairly easily. I was then stuck between two. No matter how much I read them, I thought they said the same thing. It took really comparing them to understand that one of the AC did something the other didn’t. Only after I saw how they were different, was I able to see how the right answer weakened the argument. I should have been able to spot this right away.

I don’t like feeling “on my heels” like that during a test. I like to have a semi clear idea of what to look for or, at the very least, when I read the right answer knowing right away that I've found the right one.

Another example was PT35.S4.Q20

I had no clue how the AC worked until I had a chance to really dig deep into it. By then I've wasted far too much time and screw myself for the rest of the section. It's one of the many issues I am still trying to address before my next test.

Any suggestions on how to approach questions like this in a better way? I know what I'm asking is really abstract, but I hope I make sense.

the conclusion states it is not limited, but imprecise

Hi! I am struggling with the must-be-true and must-be-false questions. If anyone can give me some advice, I would highly appreciate it!!!

Hey, y’all. I took the August LSAT and scored a 140. I was shooting for a 157. I thought I could rope LSAT prep into my schedule this semester, but it hasn’t worked. I’m planning on ramping studying back up November 1 for about an hour a day and then ramp it up even more when I’m home during break. My question is should I take it again in January or should I give myself more time? I’m looking to start law school in the fall of 2024. Any advice is appreciated!

Scoring in low to mid 150's consistently. Been studying since August, LG is consistently my worst section and my RC is my best section by a little bit. I know my weak points obviously from analytics, but my question is with so little time left, what should I be focusing on the most right now? Realistically I can probably study for 25-28 hours a week if I no-life my Friday's and Saturday's which at this point I don't even care bc I'm so close. PLEASE somebody tell me what you'd do if you were me???

please explain

I have been trying out various strategies and all seem to come with pros and cons. Initially I was speed reading (as I usually do), which gave me some time left over, but I made a lot of silly mistakes. I switched to an approach where I really engage with the passage, essentially talking it through in my own words and ensuring a solid understanding (or as best as I can get), but again I make those same errors and even feel time crunched for the last passage which i have to rush through.

What tips have helped you improve your RC score?
