#HELP!

I took the October exam, scored 168 which wasn't too surprising since that had been my score on several PTs leading up to the test. I am signed up for next week & goal is to score 171+. Took the newly released PT 93 today & scored my highest ever, 175!!!!

I am super conflicted because if I take the test next week, it will be my 4th time & if I score lower than 168, I don't want admissions to think that the score is a fluke and not something I worked hard for. If I score higher than 170, great! However, is this a risk worth taking? For reference, I would like to attend a T20 school with substantial scholarships, looking at USC Law for which I fall right at the median LSAT but lower than median GPA.

137 to 171

This post isn't for those that already "have it"

This is for all my brothers and sisters who saw a long journey ahead of them with days of grinding, and plenty more discouraging days.

You can do it.

Special thanks to Owen, Ellen, Molly and Dr. D.

I will press forward for a slightly higher score.

It feels great to finally break the "7"

PTB.S1.Q19

Hi,

This question has a 5-star difficulty but it looks like there's no explanation video on this.

What is everyone's thought process on this question. Here's my reasoning for why it comes down to C and D :

C. Some parts of the rock was under water, some part on land. Which one do we know is where the C-14 were found from (if its the unerwater part then it goes against the argument, if its the land part then it supports the argument). This is just not enough to know. This could go both ways. BUT it does cast doubt on the result of the study, how do you know which part of the rock you got your C-14 from.

D. Among the C-14 that were found in this rock, a small amount of C-14 come from the atmosphere. Meaning the rest of the C-14 can still come from remnants of plants and microbes. Doesn't weaken the argument much, but it cast doubt.

I picked D but the correct answer is C. Can someone explain their thought process and why C is a better ac?

169-170-175

This literally has been beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you 7Sage!

I got a 169 in January, 170 in May and a 175 in October.

After the May scores came out, I knew I had to retake-I was PTing around 174 and my anxiety during the test definitely caused me to miss questions.

One word of advice that helped me a lot: deal with you anxiety in advance. I read a post in the forum that discusses this and it was extremely helpful. My takeaway: if you tend to be really anxious during exams(like me), PT under pressure, and stick to the methodology we have been practicing instead of rushing into decisions.

7Sage really helped me a lot in identifying my problems: this meant a lot for me as I literally had less than a month to prepare for the October LSAT. I think identifying one's weak spots, whether in the form of LR question types or RC passage types, is one of the most efficient ways to improve one's grade.

Anyway, I'm just...too happy. As a international STEM major, this is way beyond what I had hoped for when I'm still studying. Hope to get into my dream school this cycle!

Hey guys,

so this is my third time taking the lsat i took it last year in October bombed that cause my anxiety messed me up, and made a mistake and took it within a month again and did horrible my anxiety and nervousness really gets to me. I was suppose to take it in August but didnt feel just ready, October was my next date but had an emergency in my family, now I am taking it in November. im STRESSED because my LR can be anywhere from -5 to -13, and RC is -6 to -12, I really just want to get a 160 is there any advice how i can do better in these two sections before the exam. Ive been trying it all and just feel so hopeless and scared. I'd appreciate any advice because I really want to succeed.

Or any type of suggestion for LR in general on how to do better?? I am trying to drill but I can't seem to get out of the same mistakes I keep making.

144-152-161

I can't thank 7sage enough for this program. I took the LSAT last June and got a 144 with little to no studying. I started studying again this past January and took it in August with a 152 and was devastated. I registered for the October test the day I got my August score back and got right back to studying. Then today I got my 161, which was higher than I thought I was going to get. I am over the moon and I would not have been able to do it without this program.

Just canceled my November LSAT. So relieved I don't need to take next week's LSAT since I haven't quite practiced after the October test. Should I write an addendum to explain this score increase? The core reason is just that I was in poor health condition last time when I took the test in August.

154 -> 173

I was supposed to write the LSAT on my 21st birthday. The night before I got scared and took a year-long break from even looking at LSAT content. This year I wrote the LSAT after 9 months of using 7Sage and a week after my 23rd birthday. I did not do anything special I just followed the syllabus and took 1-2 PTs a week depending on my mood and my full-time job. I just wanted to say thank you to 7sage and this community and Bon voyage to the monthly expense.

Hi! I am taking the Nov LSAT next Friday and have a quick question about the Writing Sample. Although it opens in advance (this week), it's my understanding that I could take it after I take the MC exam (and they won't release my score until I've submitted). I've not started reviewing anything for the Writing part and my thinking is I'd rather do that right after the exam (within a couple of days) to give myself maximized time for final studying etc. Is there any issue with doing that? Thanks so much, so appreciated!

Today I got an email (and I'm sure most people have as well), about the practice LSAT field study for the new alternatives to the logic games section that will be administered in December. I know LSAC announced that they are looking to announce the changes to LG sometime in 2023, but I was wondering if anyone knew specifically when these changes would be implemented? I'm shooting to take my LSAT sometime early in 2023 and I'm going to be really bummed if I'm studying LG for no reason right now.
