If you are at the LSAT median for your goal schools, should you retake? Is the goal to be above the 50% median? I've heard these two being conflated, so not sure if there was general guidance for it.

I registered for my first LSAT in August, and am curious if there will be a corresponding email where you choose/get informed about what day/where you take it? I haven't been able to find an answer.

What is the best score you would cancel the score of your first LSAT?

I'm feeling pretty confident with the fundamentals now and have been consistently scoring around a 153-155.

Right now, most of my studying for LR is watching or attending lessons because I like doing the timed questions alongside the instructor and hearing the explanations in real time. It's been working well, but I'm wondering if there's a more effective way to improve from here.

For those of you who are past the fundamentals, what does your study routine actually look like?

• Are you drilling every day?

• Reviewing wrong answers?

• Taking timed sections?

• Watching lessons, or mostly practicing on your own?

• Are you switching between RC and LR per day?

What made the biggest difference in helping you break into the hight 150s or 160s?

We've upgraded the study plan! While you could always set your daily study hours, you can now customize how much you study each day of the week:

I'm an incoming junior in college and want to take the lsat early, is this a good idea? I know the scores are good for up to three years so why not take it now and get the stress of senior year out of the way. I'm a very visual learner so the lsat is a real struggle for me--and I don't understand the point of a wrong journal!? I write what I got wrong, why the correct answer is correct and then what? I feel as though writing all that out won't help me in the long run no?

I haven't taken a diagnostic yet, and I'm wondering if I should but finding time to take a three hour test without any distractions (I get distracted very easily) is hard. I feel like I'm doing everything wrong. But is starting early good?

My gpa is a 2.8 right now, and I'm retaking some courses to boost it up. Is there anything else I should be doing? I feel very discouraged.

hi friends wondering if anyone has any tips or advice on closing the gap between your score and blind review? feels like when i have unlimited time, i'm able to find my way to the correct answer but hoping for advice to help me perform as well during the real thing!

thank you in advance ☺

Is it more efficient to print out the drills from the lessons, do it on my own, and then go back to the lesson and learn about it, or should I just pause the lesson do it and then see if I got it right. I like printing them out because I feel more focused however, I also do not want to be wasting time if on the actual test we won't be printing papers out. Just want others opinions on this. Pls Help.

We're trying to improve our notes and WAJ system. Do you actually review your wrong-answer journal, or is the main value in taking the notes? If you review, how often?

Please tell us how you're using your notes and wrong answer journals, whether on 7Sage or another app!

This was my first full length prep test since my diagnostic in May, and I was so surprised by these results! Granted, I did skip the experimental section from being pretty exhausted today, which probably helped with my energy and concentration on the subsequent scored sections. Hoping to work on building stamina with more PTs, but feeling great about the progress!

Much love to the core curriculum <3

Normally, I don’t study with music, but I have decided to try it. While on the train studying, I listen to music. I know to not listen to music while doing timed practice tests or timed sections. What about music while doing untimed drills? Music while doing timed drills? What about music when reading/reviewing foundationals?

Music seems to improve my focus by helping me somewhat better zone out . But I don’t want to depend on it/bad crutch habit that then affects me when I don’t have the music during PTs/sections.

Someone in the LSAT community did bring up a good point that music could be there as I build good logical thinking and by the time I rip away the music I would have these good logical habits so the lack of music wouldn’t affect me.

Thoughts on music while studying and when I should and shouldn’t listen?

My highest score is a 149 and I went down in a practice test to a 145. I didn't do all of the blind review for it and just kinda burnt out for today. I think my biggest issue is that I am in the middle of meditation fluctuations that affect my brain and I may be studying too much. I was studying for 5-6hrs a day, no break days other than holidays. I plan on taking the August test and the September test. Should I work on my study schedule? Change my August test to November instead? Or just give myself some days off? It seems like I am struggling with RC foundations, but I seem to grasp the LR foundations ok. I am trying to get at least to 160-165

I've been studying for several months, and my scores have been consistent in the high 160s for the past month. However, in the past 2 weeks I have been scoring in the 150s and cannot seem to figure questions out. I am taking the LSAT in August but with this dip in scores, I am concerned I won't be able to be ready to go. Has this happened to anyone? Any tips to get out of this slump?

Do you think it's better to include questions you got correct, but spent too much time on, in blind review? I find it makes me second guess whether my answer was right. I end up trying to justify answer choices which I was sure were incorrect.

How do you use blind review? Any tips for making the most out of blind review?

Hi, would you all recommend doing the experimental sections in the PT or skip over for time efficiency? Is there a benefit to this I may not be seeing?

So i'm currently PTing in the mid 150s. Just a year ago my diagnostic was a 138. However now it's time to break into the 160s. Any tips on how I can pass the 150s?

We now have a new "Diagram?" tag. This identifies questions our tutors would consider diagramming. The "?" is to show that there's no one-size-fits-all answer to when and exactly what to diagram. So don't take the tag to mean that you have to or should diagram those questions; that's the wrong message. But we've found that many students wanted to isolate questions that are particularly heavy on conditional logic within the broader set of questions tagged Conditional Reasoning. This tag is a good way to get at those questions.

Any advantages or disadvantages of taking the exam in person on a Wednesday versus a Friday? I get distracted easily, so I'm thinking Wednesday could be less busy and therefore a better option, but I'm curious to hear thoughts from folks before I register tonight. Thanks!

Guys, how do you get your mind clear for the pre-test? I am going through a hard time right now, and I just have lots of annoying and bad thoughts at the back of my mind constantly, and I just can't seem to ever get them out of my mind, especially during a preptest. I think it greatly impairs my ability to perform to my full potential. Any tips you use?

New to studying LSAT. Noticed that some LR problems involve stimuli that are deliberately flawed/weak/invalid and their question stems mostly (not always) refer to those issues. I understand this.

However, should RC passages be assumed not to contain such deliberate flaws? If there are criticisms of a second perspective by the author, that is given. However, we should not be keeping a skeptical view of the author's view/reasoning as if we are keeping an eye out for a flaw in his/her reasoning that we might be questioned on?

Hi!

I want to have some advice on my study method.

My PT score(timed) is between 155-160 and my BR score is usually 173-177.

I've been studying from this February, and I took June LSAT, still waiting for my score.

Regardless of the June score, I'm aiming to take it again in October and I really want to see my BR score in the real test.

The problem is, I don't feel I'm improving that much and not sure what should I do from now on. What helped you the most to minimize the score gap between your actual score and BR score? Will doing more timed practice help?

I was doing mostly timed section and review+wa journal after. Should I switch to untimed mode?

I'm def doing WA journal and I feel like I do understand everything, until I take a timed PT😭

Basically what the title says. I'm aiming for a 175, but right now I'm fluctuating between 169-174. I only have 3 prep tests left, but I like doing one every week and then reviewing it over the weekend. Should I stop doing that?

Hi all! I know that the August registration deadline is coming up and wanted to ask for some advice. I am shooting for a goal score of 175 and debating between the August and September tests. My last 5 PTs have been 171, 172, 173, 177, and 172.

I am considering August only because the September test coincides with the beginning of fall semester of my junior year, but I'm concerned that I won't be able to get to my goal score by then. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :)

Hello, I've been recently picking somr wrong trap answers due to insufficient translating skils of double negatives or thinking a modifier is part of a negative statement as seen below:

None of the shows that Wilke & Wilke produced last year that were not canceled were police dramas.

Does 7Sage have any practice for these translations?

Thanks!

For this question, C is the correct answer. I got it right, but I only read answer choices A, B, and C before feeling like C was the right answer.

I took 57 seconds to answer the question which is only 5 seconds under target. Am I supposed to be able to eliminate all possible answer choices before moving onto the next question? I feel like that's impossible to do with a 35 minute time limit.
