Same I took it on Saturday with no issues. Really sorry that happened to OP and hope they'll let them retest!
@actuallymk yeah try to space out your PT's. Otherwise you'll run through fresh PT's without having learned all that much
Can the streaks include activity from before or do you guys not have that data? I've been studying for a year now I'm curious to see the activity.
I agree, please add an option to turn off adaptive question selections! Doing random questions is pretty important to my studying process, so its really annoying when the setting basically only gives me RRE questions. I've also literally drilled thousands of questions so even if I get better my priorities and percentages for RRE still won't change.
It would be nice if there was a separate toggle to turn it on and off. Often times when I drill I just like to have 7sage give me random questions of varying difficulties and question types, but now with adaptative now unless I select specifically for other tags it will only give me RRE questions and its quite annoying.
Do not spam PT's. I'd say only after you've mastered the basics should you start taking PT's regularly, once a week is probably a good amount. And make sure to blind review every PT and every drill.
@J.Y.Ping For the screensharer, I can't view the chat when I'm sharing screens, it'd be great if that could be fixed!
9PM is definitely much better than 8PM! As a West Coast resident there was no way I was getting off work in time to make it at 5PM in my time.
A pretty commonly asked question. I'm currently scoring pretty much low 170s high 160s, what does it take to consistently score mid-high 170s? Does it mostly come down to luck and test variance? Is it something to do with the way people read and think? Any input from tutors would be great!
I spent 5 minutes trying to get at this question. Whole time I was super skeptical about D because I was thinking, what if its the case that most mail are correctly addressed, just that most of them get damaged? Didn't even take into account the first 4 words of the question stim lol
I kind of miss the charts 7sage had a while ago, where it's the chart that will show you the total amount of questions you've drilled per day. I think its a slightly cleaner way to keep track of your daily output as well as being kind of gratifying looking at your. consistency. At the very least, bring back the stat in overview noting total number of questions done (including all drills, PTs and sections).
Stimulus:
/support -> /allow
/support -> /allow
A:
/arrested -> /break the law
break the law -> arrested (holy shit what a fucking contrapositive)
B:
/arrested -> /break the law
arrested -> break the law
C:
grant -> successful
/grant -> /successful
D:
support -> successful
successful -> /no support
E:
support -> successful
/grant(or support) -> allowed
@gurbytown Yeah thats definitely a good point. I've done timed sections in my office with noise in the background and did mostly fine, I guess I should try doing full PT's with more noise too.
On the test thinking back I was probably extra rattled in the first 15 minutes by the noise on S1 and maybe S2. Obviously I'm not sure since I don't know which parts I bombed, its totally possible I actually did fine in the opening but just choked in the harder sections. But thanks so much for your input!
@SCasey_ Thats a good decision on your part, good things can come from taking a break! I was plateauing in the 60s last year, then I took a break for a few months and when I came back I was able to break 170s, though I suppose given the results today I didn't go as far as I thought I did ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I am trying to apply for the 2027 cycle so timeline wise its not the end of the world yet, but this test is definitely taking a toll on my mental and I'd really like to get it over with. Best of luck to you!
As you guys may know, the February scores came out today, and I'm at a bit of a loss. This was my second time testing and I was riding a really good streak of 170+'s on PTs going into this test, but I got quite a bit worse than that. I can't really pinpoint what went wrong with this test, its maybe a combination between bad luck, or being distracted by people in the test room, or I'm just not as good as I think I should be.
Between the classic 7sage and the new one I've been studying for over a year now, and gone through 5000+ questions, and at this point I've pretty much run out of fresh content to drill or PT with. I'm thinking about signing up for April, but I'm really not sure what I can do to prepare at this point :(
Any advice would be appreciated! Feel free to share your thoughts if you're also disappointed by your feb scores.
Edit: Thanks for all the advice about taking PT's in public to get used to more noise! Alternatively, I could consider switching to taking it online, what has deterred me from that before is just fear of technical difficulties. How's everyone's experience with online test taking?
I was in a similar situation to you and I wish I could point to a magic bullet to solve this problem. I just took the Feb LSAT and I'm waiting for the score to come out in a few days. Honestly at this range between a 172 and a 178 its really splitting hairs. I've gotten 179 as my highest PT but got 170 on the following PT. I feel a lot of it comes down to luck, like question weighting, what kind of passages and questions I get and how I'm feeling at a particular moment I read the question.
I'd imagine someone who consistently scores mid to high 170s would have some level of superior reading ability, where they can break down difficult questions into fundamentals, or comprehend a passage quickly enough to evaluate inferences on the fly. I'm not sure if this is even attainable for everyone, but as a low 170s scorer you're probably good enough get a higher score by being just a bit lucky.
this is so fucking dumb, I ruled out C because I thought figurative here means becoming more abstract. And while that is true in regards to the use of words, when it comes to art and representation it actually means to be a more accurate depiction.
I crossed out every single answer actually. Ended up skipping over D because I forgot MOST correctly addressed mail do in fact NOT get damaged.
Seriously though: If you had won the lottery, you would be rich.
Lottery -> Rich
When you PT you should do the experimental as well. Most of the questions you'll encounter in there are questions you'd see anyway, so the extra reps will be very helpful. Also that way you'll be more prepared for the real exam stamina-wise when you'll actually have to do 4 sections.
