Every time I take a section my score ranges and my types range and depending on how i take it (starting from difficult to easy or easy to difficult) changes where my most wring answers are too any tips?

Please add your tips on improving on LR, my priority questions according to analytics are PHen Hyp, Conditional Reasoning and MSS. I plan on taking the exam in October and really want a goal score of late 160s to 170s. I do a review and WAJ of every question I get wrong and feel that I understand the why I got it correct but sometimes when I try the reinforcement drills, I get them wrong again.

I have gone through the logic of causation module and various materials on conditional reasoning. Is this goal score attainable and any tips on improving?

Thank you!

Hello! I've been deep in LSAT prep myself and ended up creating a Discord serve because I wanted to create community of individuals in to work together while getting through this heinous exam.

What's actually in there:

• Channels for drill-sharing, resources, timing-and-pacing, and advice

• Voice channels for daily study sessions, logical reasoning, reading comp, and PT run-throughs — plus a body-doubling room if you just want quiet company while you grind

• We also hold daily study session everyday from 3:45-5:00PM PDT and will be adding a morning session as well.

We check in on PTs, share what's working, and actually talk through why an answer is right instead of just confirming letters. Join if you feel lonely in your prep and would like to study in a community and get feedback on studying for the LSAT! I hope to see you there!

The link is attached below but if you have any questions feel free to DM me!

Hello everyone! I am just about finished with the LR section of the CC and am wanting to know if its a good decision to begin incorporating full section drills into my weekly study to reinforce everything I have learned up to this point? Please let me know as I would love to hear what you all have done or are doing!

The low-res summary helps a ton, but boy, is it hard to do during practice sections. Does anyone have any tips? I find talking out loud is helpful, but I know I won't be able to do that during the actual test.

Hey guys! I have just finished the LR portion in the core curriculum so now I am on the RC section and I am really struggling to eliminate wrong answers in RC. For every RC question I can safely eliminate at least 2 wrong answers but then I really struggle to find reasons to eliminate the last 2. It just seems so much fuzzier then LR where it's very clear that there are 4 wrong answers. Any tips?

Can you have two science passages in a single RC section? Are there any passage subjects that are guaranteed? I know different test resources categorize them differently but it seems like Law, Humanities, Science, and Art are 7Sage's cateogirzations.

I've only been really studying for 4 weeks. My last two tests were 172. This is my first 175+.

For high scorers trying to break through a plateau: I guess my biggest tip here is voice record yourself (with a transcript - apple voice memos also makes one automatically for free if you have an apple device) while taking sections and PTs and try to verbalize every piece of reasoning out loud. If this means you have to take it untimed, do that. Then upload the transcript to an AI (perhaps with the test if it isn't 7sage ai - warning u will run out of 7sage ai if you use it for this a lot) and have it analyze where your reasoning breaks down or when your process stops being applied every time. Mine then gives me a list of reminders I need to read out loud before each test.

Another tip that's worked for me is READ THE STIMULUS FIRST every time! I've gotten to the point where I can predict the question type on at least 1/3 stimuli and successfully prephrase the answer without looking at the question stem or answer choices.

Also MAKE ANKI FLASHCARDS and do them daily! It’s free and it’s not just for med students. There are a lot of things that should just be automatic when you want to enter a flow state and score really high. Identifying question stems, sufficient and necessary indicator words, diagrams, understanding the answer choices, etc, are only a few things in my anki deck. This is a highly personalized thing though - making your own will give you a lot more yield than using someone else’s.

My last tip is join a good study group! I'm in a great one on discord, and we are taking new members!

My Blind reviews are consistently always in the 170s, with my actual PT's being in the 161-164 range (I got a 162 on the June LSAT). I want to retest in September for a 165+ but don't know how to adjust my studying to reflect my Blind Reviews. Any tips would be appreciated!

i have a lot of difficulty with weakening questions. although i know a weaken question means to attack the support between the premise and conclusion, i fear i don't really entirely understand that and that's where i keep picking the wrong answers. i know the correct answer might give an alt explanation, a reversed causation, undermine the data/sample, make use of a broken analogy, or missing information but i usually miss out on those answers and end up picking the wrong one. does anyone have any suggestions or can break down the concept for me in a way i can understand better?? it's so frustrating.

i feel like a chud. i for the life of me cannot understand why i am so awful at taking this test timed. my scored pt will be in the low 160s (and i mean low) then i get to br and suddenly im scoring in the 170s. i feel like i am going insane. i need more time, any advice on how to close this absurd gap?

Hi everyone! I have been intensely WAJing for awhile now and I feel like one of my biggest problems is "oh I missed this word/phrase in the stim/question/answer choice." I'm struggling to create a rule or habit that helps me get past these slip ups, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips. I think part of it is that I've spent so much time studying that I'm getting a little bored and glazing over things, but I really can't find a way to lock in and pay attention to each detail throughout the whole test.

i wanted to see if anybody had advice about overcoming test anxiety, especially for the lsat.

i'm feeling really defeated about taking it again because before my first official test, i was consistently PTing in the mid-160s. then on test day i ended up scoring about 10 points lower than my practice tests, and it completely shook my confidence and still is.

i'm planning to retake in september, but i can't seem to get past the fear of it happening again. if you've experienced a big score drop from your PT average or struggled with test anxiety, what actually helped you? whether it was a mindset shift, changes to your prep, or strategies for test day, i'd really appreciate any advice.

Hi everyone! Anyone else struggling to improve their score for RC or have dealt with this before? Im seeing steady improvement in LR but RC is dragging down my scores, even though I have always been a strong reader ( or so I thought). Hoping someone can share some tips that are not just do more reading. TIA! :)

Hi everyone! My name is Zoë and I am writing the LSAT in October. I’ve been studying for about two months now and my diagnostic was a 143 and im trying to crack the 160s.

I am from Whitehorse, Yukon, but im back and forth to Vancouver, BC. I’m going into my last year of undergrad & im majoring in psychology. I’m also a ncaa student athlete so time management is something I am trying to aim to be better at… planning to take advantage of the summer before season starts.

feel free to reach out if you want to connect and we can track our hours, talk LSAT, or help out each other. if you have any group recommendations please lmk!

Hey I've started to noticed that after I do untimed sections or blind review my accuracy is either 80%-100%. From the analytics its also shown me that I often choose the right answer, than talk myself out of the right answeer and end up choosing the wrong one. It seems like I do this fairly frequently. How do you become sure of yourself because this mental block is keeping me in the 155. I know the answer, but than their comes a question that distorts my understanding of what I. believed the flaw initally was. I struggle w/ the Phenomenon-hypothesis (LR) (which seems to be commmon). Do I just need to keep hammering basic principles, or do more questions so I can learn to recongize the pattern in whats being asked?

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice or helpful pointers for systematically navigating difficult Science passages, like riddled basins of attraction and the science passage regarding corn, maize, and C-4 Photosynthesis? I generally feel confident in RC sections, but when I run into passages like this, it is really difficult for me to comprehend what is being said beyond the main point. I end up wasting time trying to comprehend what is being said, and consequently running out of time to thoughtfully answer the questions.

I'm wondering if I should just skim the difficult parts of tough RC Science passages and then go back to the passage when I know what to look for after reading the question. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi everyone, I am looking for guidance after receiving my score from the June LSAT. I got a 168 on the real test but I had been scoring in the 170s on every PT I've taken for the past 2 months. I had not gotten below a 171 since April, and I scored a 175 on both PT 158 and PT 159 (the last ones I took before the real test). I had also been practicing in environments similar to test day conditions to make sure that the testing center didn't throw me off since I took it in-person. This in combination with hitting my goal scores repeatedly on PTs made me feel relatively confident going into the real thing, but I ended up scoring around 5-7 points below what I had been scoring on PTS. This was the first time I had ever taken the real thing, so I'm wondering if it could have been test day nerves due to having never experienced the real environment before or if there is some kind of disconnect in my understanding/thought processes. Another issue is that I have been studying since late January and do not have any fully fresh PTs or sections left. Any advice on what I can do in the meantime between now and my retake in August to perform at the level I had been performing at on my PTs would be greatly appreciated!

Hello!! Still in foundations and wanted to know whether people were taking notes or not? i am trying to tae some quick ones on lawgic and stuff but know i wont go back and read them and it seems to be taking up so much of my study time. Let me know any thoughts/what you guys do! Thank you!!!

i've never scored this high before and i just restarted studying for the LSAT after a 161 in November so i am SUPER excited for a four point increase in the last two months of studying and a 180 blind review!!!

Hello I'm looking for a tutor to get me to a 155. My last LSAT was a 146. Im looking to retake it in November. Im not looking for a miracle. Minimum I need to make a 150.

Hey everyone looking for some tips with this issue:

So recently on my timed full-length sections I have been doing very well and have been scoring -1 to -3 for both LR and RC. But then on my PTs I fall apart and score way worse like -3 to -8

Its getting pretty frustrating because how can I go from getting -1 on 3 LR sections in a row to -7 when its a on a PT

What are ways to improve 1. stamina and 2. anxiety and stress. I think my main issue is that I feel so much pressure to score well on my PTS that I overthink and generally just freeze up.

Thanks for the help and advice!

Hey guys,

I’ve been studying for a month, looking to test in September. My cold diagnostic was 164, and my last PT two weeks ago (PT157) was 165, so after a week of drilling and seeing -2 and -3 on sections, I was bothered to just finish PT151 with a 159. Whereas on my diagnostic I got -4 on RC and -6 on LR, I saw -7, -8, and -3 on all three LR sections. How do I deal with this variance? Should I drill more intensely? Thanks for any help.
