outing myself to remind myself to not force a pt when i am not feeling it! after a pretty great week of drills, i was feeling kinda mid and its ok not to be feeling great sometimes! i had to physically drag myself thru this pt and knew while i was writing that I wasn't going to perform as expected....do not let the stress of an upcoming write force lazy work! i BRd a few hours lately and went -2, -4, -4, -3 respectively. sucked doing BR too bc i was gen like "damn what was i thinking the whole time". DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRAP

Just wondering if anyone had any resources or cheat sheets the like using to practice and reference general skills for LR. I was thinking like Conditional Logic and Logic of Sets i.e., things that are a little more generally applied.

Hey guys I just wanted to showcase this small yet prominent victory. I’ve been heavily struggling over the past couple of days trying to get my accuracy up especially since I’ve been averaging a 30% - 40% everyday. And today, after completing my daily LR study block I was averaging 60% - 70% on the 10 question drills and I finally FINALLY got a 5/5. My exam is November 14th, currently I’m trying to get my accuracy at least 70%+ as I’m confident in my time capabilities, I scored a 144 on my first exam back in February. Currently finishing my last semester in my undergraduate college program and want to score at least a 156+ (target score a 160) to become a good applicant during this cycle. For anyone whose doubting themselves, or not seeing improvements keep working hard keep being patient and eventually you will break through. I try not to let it get to me, but these scores make or break my day and I’m very happy. Hoping to keep this accuracy up and to get my PT close to the 150’s. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE YA’LL GOT THIS 🫶

Hi all,

I had a general question about MSS particularly PT146.S2.Q15. I think in hindsight, you can get this right with process of elimination because all the wrong answers are too strong. I was also too fixed on thinking this answers was going to be related to fruits and vegetables but that's a separate issue. With MSS questions, its been my understanding that being too strong is not as bad or immediate grounds for dismissal as other questions like NA.

Of course you should always take a second and really think about the answers, but I feel like this has happened a bit more frequently for me with MSS questions, keeping answers that are too strong instead of eliminating them in hopes of getting the correct answer, so what's the middle ground?

Honestly, I’m not mad at it! This is my second-highest score, but more than anything, I’m just really happy with the growth I’ve been seeing lately. It feels like things are finally starting to click, and I’m really hoping this is my LAST score in the 150s 🤞🏾💗

Also, it’s kinda nice having fewer things to blind review lol 😂

Ready to see that final push into the 160s and eventually make my way into the 170s! ✨🎀

And to everyone else studying right now: keep going!! 🫶🏾 I made a post a while ago manifesting new high scores for all of us, and I’m starting to think it’s actually working 👀😂! I probably should’ve been a little more specific with my prayer because technically… this IS my highest score since I resumed studying in August 😭😂.

So if you’re reading this and still waiting on your breakthrough score, consider this your reminder to keep showing up. Your hard work is adding up, even when you can’t see it yet. 💗✨ Here’s to all of us hitting those new highs soon (And me seriously making it out of the 150s jail)! 🎀

how are people feeling about the upcoming LSAT? Im taking practice exams everyday and getting really nervous

Hey yall. I noticed a significant point increase in RC when I am interested enough in the RC passages to focus and not fall half asleep vs a significant point decrease when the passages are not something I can get into. any advice besides read it in a funny or unserious tone? Really need to stay awake and locked in. (I am interested in humanities or spotlight passages when I can yearn for the underdog. I am not as interested in reading about the color of glass or photographic techniques.)

As for timing, I spent more time on the first two passages then rush the last two— any tips? Practice timed?

Thanks 🙏🏼

Im taking the October LSAT. When do I do the argumentative writing? is it available to do after the exam or only before?

Hey guys, so I've been studying for about 2-3 months straight. I scored a 141 on the January LSAT, 125 on the June LSAT, and I'm scheduled to take the October 10th LSAT. My most recent PT (earlier this week) was a 143. It's not a huge jump but I'm glad there's been improvement. I've finished the foundations section of the study plan, and have been working through the LR and RC sections in the morning and Practice Block sections in the evening. I know it's unlikely to score in the high 150s and above, but I believe I can at least score a 150 or high 140s. I know there's a school out there who will take a chance on me. Maybe it's good delusion, but I believe in myself too much to reschedule for another LSAT. This is the one! Does anyone have tips for improvement they'd like to share? Or maybe words of encouragement? It took a lot for me to share this so be nice please!!! Peace and love to everyone who comes across this post!

Hi there, I finished the core curriculum and now I don't know how to proceed with the practice phase. I took a timed test and did worse than my diagnostic. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the tools available for the practice phase and don't know how to utilize into a schedule. Is there somebody at 7 Sage I can talk to?

I have been not been able to score above a 156..any advice on how to break into the 160s?

Hi all! I'm studying for the upcoming November LSAT, and I'm looking to tutor others as a part of my study plan and my interest of tutoring the LSAT in the future. I have an advanced understanding on how to approach RC and LR, but I think that explaining the concepts to someone else would help to solidify the concepts even more. And in the meanwhile, I can also help someone else's understanding of the test. Thing is, I don't have any friends that I know personally who are interested in taking the test in the near future. So I was wondering on how one would get started on doing so.

For reference, I scored a 168 on the August test, with a starting diagnostic of a 152, and have been studying for almost a year.

Thanks!

Hi, I am struggling with science related passages and or stimulus. Science does not come naturally to me. While reading the passages/stimulus, I find myself getting lost and thus struggle to answer the question stem correctly.

Does anyone have tips on how to tackle questions when you are not strong in the topic?

I’m trying to diagnose some pretty big RC inconsistency. I’ve scored as well as -6 on a full RC section before, but my last two full sections were -11.

On PT150.S4 today, I went 6/6 on Passage 3 in about 8 minutes, but I spent about 11 minutes on Passage 1 and 10 minutes on Passage 2 while still missing several questions, which left me only about 5 minutes for the comparative passage and I had to guess on a lot of it.

In review, I’ve noticed that on some misses I actually understood the passage pretty well but wasn’t scrutinizing the answer choices carefully enough, e.g. things like subtle term shifts, overstrong comparisons, and answer choices that were “mostly right” but had one bad word.

For people who had volatile RC and eventually became more consistent, what helped most: better passage mapping, more disciplined answer-choice evaluation, or getting better at cutting losses on a passage that isn’t clicking?

I’m especially curious how to interpret going 6/6 on one passage inside a -11 section. Does that usually suggest the core comprehension ability is there but execution/timing is inconsistent?

Just got 100% correct on another Level 4 difficulty RC passage!

My RC practice this week has been a much-needed confidence boost. I’m starting to feel like I might actually be able to get through a passage and questions in under 9 minutes!

My untimed RC accuracy has been getting noticeably better, so now it’s time to start shifting gears. Next up: the 3-passage focus strategy! Aka. Can I do passages with 11 minutes each and hold accuracy?

Building the accuracy → bringing in the timing → holding it all together.

The progress is progressing!

I only improved by a point since my last PT from 2 weeks ago. I’m feeling so defeated. Do you guys have any tips?

Hi everyone, I've taken 2 PTs after my diagnostic and the discrepancy of scores between the actual PT and the BR is large. Both PTs, I scored a 151 but on BR I scored a 167 and a 171.

Does anyone have tips on how to do better?

To be honest, I was not feeling confident at all, but I surprised myself! I know I need to improve on LR, though - luckily the section I did the worst on turned out to be experimental, open to tips and suggestions on improving!

UPDATE: We moved too quickly! We hear you and the all notes view available in the top nav is coming back ASAP and will be there until we make sure to have a better option in place.

---

OP:

We simplified the top-level menu by removing the notes icon. The overwhelming majority of you weren't using it there. Instead, you were using notes while in a lesson or reviewing a single question, so that's where we've kept it.

Where to find notes now:

• Lessons: Click the note icon in the lesson to see and add your notes.

• Single question page: Click the notes icon to open the notes sidebar.

• Review tester: Nothing has changed. Notes are still right where they were.

As a gift to my fellow Californians and night owls, I've moved the lofi stream to Thursday evenings at 7pm PST/10pm EST. With any luck, this'll be our new forever timeslot.

Roll through tonight and AMA, or watch me do whatever it is I decide to do. Current idea is to build a big ol' repository of how various common flaws are phrased and share it with people.

trying to find the courage and confidence to stay motivated for my october LSAT. my blind reviews keep decreasing and i feel like im missing something. my original blind reviews were 170s and now back to mid to high 160s and am feeling like im slipping away. any tips?

Today I decided to implement a new strategy for LR. As soon as I choose an answer and I'm fairly confident, I move on. In recent practice I tend to skim each answer choice again and reread the answer I selected a few times. I would also briefly skim the question itself. On this section I finished all the questions with 5 full minutes remaining which allowed me to go back and look at a few of the questions I had flagged. This suggests to me that my initial instincts are correct more often than not, and spending that extra time reviewing is mostly unnecessary. I'm feeling extremely motivated. I test in October!
