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?

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!

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?

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

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???

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?

After taking three practice tests, I have learned that READING COMP is consistently my best section and LG is the worst and it's not close. With the Nov LSAT being a little under a month away, what do I need to prioritize in terms of learning LG so that I at least become proficient at them? I'm not even concerned with going flawless, even if I went -5 on the exam, it'd bump me 8 whole points from my average. I can brush up and drill LR questions and such, but there are SO many logic games. What do I need to do? I keep hearing LG is the easiest section to improve but I feel like I'm still awful at them. Any help is much appreciated

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official October 2023 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the October 2023 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, October 17th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.

  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.

  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3

    • ❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.

  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.

  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June

  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?

  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count

    • Good luck to everyone taking the October 2023 LSAT!

    I was not able to finish my LSAT. There was an error after the intermission and my screen just went back to LSAC homepage. Proctor did not know how to address this. She told me to exit and message help desk of ProProctor. I was worried this would affect my test and so I asked her if I could continue and she assured me that it would not affect my test. I believed her and left; contacted Proctor was told to restart. And so I did, when I tried logging back in - I was not allowed in. There was a pop-up that said I should contact LSAT. I filed a complaint but I'm worried I may not be allowed for a retake on Oct. 25. I am an international test taker and the money is quite heavy but also the next exam is in January. I'm planning to submit my applications around Nov-Dec.

    What should I do? I'm so worried or maybe what should I atleast expect? Will I have to retake all four sections if I am allowed?

    Diagnostic score of 145, currently PT’ing in low 150’s. Started studying in August and taking the LSAT in a month. Realistically, what kind of a jump can I make in one month? Best is -9 on RC -10 on LR and -12 on LG I think, and I’ve yet to finish the last game on a logic games section. Would love to be in the mid 160’s. Is this a realistic goal at this point?

    I just took the LSAT writing sample. I used every second. When the clock struck 0, I was taken to a page that said something like "Oops, error. Try reloading the page or talk to us in the chat". My videocamera and screen continued to be recorded. I chatted with a proctor and he said the close will tab. I'm still worried it didn't get submitted...... Has this happened to anyone else? How do I check to see if it got submitted?

    I feel very stuck. I've managed to nearly perfect my LG and I've never struggled much with RC, but for some reason I can't seem to get over this hurdle with improving my LR. Whenever I get one wrong, I watch the video explanation on it. Sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes I feel completely and utterly lost no matter how many times I rewatch it.

    I know some people are going to tell me to drill my fundamentals until my brain hurts, and I do, but so many questions still make absolutely no sense to me. It's not even a specific section I struggle on, it's just... all of it.

    Does anyone else feel this way? What do I do about it? Advice?

    Edit: Whenever I look at another RC or LR question, I feel sick. I actually enjoy doing LG and find myself doing some just for the enjoyment of it, but RC and LR... the mere idea of reading another stupid paragraph about some trivial crap is making me want to run a railroad spike through my skull.

    What the title says. I want to become better and faster at LG Inferences. I took a prep test (got a great score increase!) but I was only able to do two logic games. It took me sooooo long to get through those two games because I overthink too much and also I think about the inferences later while I am reading the questions instead of when I am drawing my game board. If I am being honest, If I can do at least three out of four games during the test I would be satisfied, I do not know if I can break 4 games fast enough before November ( but please tell me your tips, I am all ears and ready to put it all to practice to get this done!!!)
