I do way much better on the blind review, and I think is because I don't feel pressured, and therefore I can think straigh, can someone please give me advice on how not to feel pressure?

Im confused a bit. What are the differences between PSA questions and SA. I just went over it but Im having a hard time differentiating these types of questions.

I seem to lose focus as it get into drills and test. I consistently get more questions wrong at the end of drills and prep-tests. I would appreciate any tips or strategies. Thank you!

Currently stuck in the mid 150s on my timed PTs but get high 160s/low 170s during blind review (I only spend about an hour extra on blind review). Any tips to help with timing since that seems to be my biggest issue right now? Been stuck here for months now and it's really upsetting.

Hey! When should I drill v do sections? I am around -8 for LR and -12 for RC. Trying to get clarification.

I've been studying for a while, but I don't feel like I'm improving. I can't seem to break into the 170s, and am just stuck in the high 160's. Any advice for that extra push?

I'm currently studying to take the LSAT in April. I started studying in January, got a diagnostic score of 164 then I completed an expedited version of 7Sage's core curriculum in ~4 weeks during which I didn't do any practice tests or full length sections and just focused on learning the content and format of the test. Now that I've completed that I want to switch wholly into practice mode for the next 7 weeks leading up to my test, but I want advice about what the right number of practice tests vs timed sections per weeks is. This week I've already taken two practices tests and on the first scored a 167 on my run through of the test and with blind review. On the second I scored a 162, but have yet to blind review the test.

I spoke with two friends who have both taken the LSAT, scored well, and I trust and they recommended very different things.

Friend 1: Try taking three practice tests per week at the beginning of this practice phase and gradually decrease to 2 when you are consistently getting the score you want

Friend 2: Start by taking only 1 practice test and then doing timed sections on days that you aren't testing. From there slowly increase to 2 practice tests per week.

Any advice on which approach would work better? I'm hoping to only need to take the test once and really really want a 175+. Feeling incredibly nervous about this because the test feels so close and that score feels far away from my target, so any thoughts would be welcome!

I keep zoning out while reading. I don’t know why, but it’s so frustrating. I find myself able to sit down and get normal stuff done (schoolwork, anything that requires focus for long periods of time) but as soon as I start doing PTs or drills I can’t focus. I don’t know what to do. 😢 any advice?

I have been studying and have only been able to reach a score of 142. I would like to achieve a score of 165 by April, as this is my last opportunity for this cycle before I would have to wait a year. I have tried different tutors, but my score has not changed. I also attempted the live classes here, but I found them to be a bit too slow for my pace. While I know some people might suggest that I wait until next year, I consider myself a non-traditional student. I would like to know what steps I can take to make this goal a reality.

I started studying on Feb 2 in order to take the June 6 LSAT. My diagnostic was a 145 and my goal is a 165+. Should I push my test to August, or will I face a risk of burn out. I am studying ~3 hours a day and following the 7Sage study plan. Any advice would be helpful

I find myself struggling with Link Assumption questions. Does anyone have any tips?

Hi!

This is the first post that I am writing.

I took my first PT yesterday and scored a 140. I have been studying for the LSAT for the past 4 months and I was very much disappointed to see such score. While blind reviewing, I realized that most of the LR questions that I got wrong were towards the end of the test since I guessed all of them due to lack of time.

For RC, it was the same issue; I poured so much time into the first two passages that I did not have time to even read through the other two passages. Also, by section 4, my brain started to shut down that the words would not come into my brain and I could not process what the reading was even about.

So I was wondering if you all would have some tips on the following:

1. How to manage time during LR section as well as increase accuracy?

2. How can I stay concentrated in RC and be engaged with the text? Some people say that I should have a constant conversation with the reading in my brain but that is not easy for me.

3. Some tips for time management in both LR and RC section that has helped people to score high.

   Thank you in advance!

Almost every time I PT there is always a significant gap between my actual score to BR score. I am making gradual progress on LR sections, yet I can't seem to shrink these gaps. Today I scored -8 and -2BR, and my past sections have had similar 6+ point gaps.

I don't know if I am just under too much stress every time I do a section, or if this means I need to work on translation skills. Let me know your thoughts, also if anyone has any tips on what they did to shrink these gaps.

Hey all! i started studying for my lsat the last week of Jan, i have been consistently scoring the same on the practice tests, wondering when everyone saw a big change/jump in their testing scores?

Hi everyone, can someone explain the argumentative section for the LSAT? February was my first time taking the test and from what I understand, I need to complete the writing portion before the 24th.

What does this look like? Does anyone have any tips to be successful? What is the role this plays in the LSAT?

Thank you to anyone who helps!

I was curious when we should be able to see the analytics of each question on PT 159? Would like to know the difficulty.

Hey everyone Im writing in the discussion regarding our practice blocks. I was trying to find somewhere on the platform where I can edit my practice blocks so I do not have a practice test every week on them. Is this possible on the 7Sage platform? I'm toward the beginning of my studies and would rather focus on drilling and timed sections rather than trying to squeeze in practice tests every week.

Hi everyone,

I have an important question. I have some health and mental health conditions that require me to take extra time when I’m taking tests. My doctors and my psychiatrist have both told me that I can actually request unlimited time as an accommodation.

Is that a real type of accommodation, or are we misunderstanding it? I would really appreciate any guidance.

So when I answer any LR question- I start thinking too deep to the point where I get the Questions wrong, I find a flaw or think "oh this answer requires me making this assumption". How to fix? Like I am doing worse now than I was doing w/ minimal studying.

If I am granted an accommodation and test through a testing center (prometric). Do they usually allow you to eat a snack during your 10 minute break?

Sorry for the delay, but you can now see difficulties for PT159.

I am trying to do speed practice to mimic the first 10 questions of an exam. I will choose Level 1-3 and not select any specific question type. In 2/3 times I have done this, the overwhelming majority of question have been from a singular question type. Defeats the purpose of the drill...

I recently joined Bailey Luber zoom call for RC Bootcamp and got her Code .IO link. I have been using it but today my computer restarted and I lost the link. Any chance anyone has hers and can send it to me please?

Thank you!!

I really feel like I am on the cusp of making a big score jump - I regularly get -1 to -3 on individual timed sections, but am having such a damn hard time translating this to my full PTs. For RC, I definitely took way too long on the third passage (I usually do third, fourth, second and first passage in that order), but my performance on the comparative section screwed me. And then the last section I lost focus and had to literally guess on the last 5.

Does anyone have any tips for this situation?

Anyone else absolutely butcher this section? I have been practicing recently at -4 for LR and got -10 on this. Also, there were two questions that stood out to me as so difficult that seemed just straight-up wrong. Like there was not a single correct answer choice.

Like Q25

After watching the explanation, I don't really get why C works. We are supposed to assume that large body = less of a target by predator. But that's not stated in the answer. If anything, you could make the opposite assumption that making the body larger makes them more of a target.

And Q21:

Doesn't really make sense. I guess C is supposed to introduce an alternative expl - that the students did better because they studied hard. That's what is stated in the explanation video. But that requires an additional assumption beyond what is stated in the answer choice. There is nothing suggesting that "choosing" to join an academically competitive team post study implies that those students were more motivated to do well in school. Motive does not equal action.
