Hi! Definitely don’t give up because on my first lsat last summer I scored a 155 and this November I finished with a 169!! It’s been a long journey and it hasn’t been easy. If you’d like to reach out, I am open to chatting!

LSAT · LSAT 154 - Canadian Schools - Try Jan 2022 or not?

Hi! I’m also in Canada (BC) and I think it really depends on whether you PT much higher than 154? I would say on the actual test day, it’s normal to score several points lower than your PT average. So before you take the exam, if you haven’t been averaging around what you would like to, I suggest holding off unless you think you have a chance this year. I know with Ontario schools, most are looking for 160+ as well. I increased my score from 155 last summer to 169 on this November test! Feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to chat more :)

I think it really depends on your learning style! I have all the power score books but I didn’t end up even using them! I mainly used 7Sage and I also read the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy multiple times! I started off with a 155 and just ended my LSAT journey with 7Sage on the November test because I scored 169! If you’re interested in chatting, feel free to reach out!

Hi! I think that usually actual test scores tend to be several points lower than PT scores but it doesn’t always have to be! I also think that the LSAT is extremely unique in this sense? I got extremely nervous for my first few exams! I started out with a 155 on my first exam and just for a 169 on the November exam! If you’re interested, I’m open if you’d like to chat!

Honestly if you’re not a rush and you think you can improve your score, you should wait and reapply in my opinion? That is if the scholarships are also extremely important to you! I got a 169 on my recent score, so if you want to, you’re welcome to reach out and we can talk more!

@ I started in May 2021 for the summer - I was plateauing around the low 160s and got 163 on the LSAT. I took a break until June 2022 because I was in my last year of university. This was where I started to re-evaluate how I approached LR, practiced games more diligently and was PTing 168-172. I took the lsat again in November and got a 169!

@ I did go through all of the core curriculum but I skipped most of the RC just because I was tight on time. I made sure to instead do 1-2 PTs a week to get in that RC practice! I would definitely recommend still doing PTs even while going through the curriculum because that will give you really good practice even if you haven't learned all of the content yet! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat more!

@ I recommend the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy! After having exposure to LR from 7Sage, I read the Loophole two times and I was able to go from -5 or -6 down to -2 or -3 quite consistently. It really helps to learn LR from another perspective because you can definitely improve on LR and there isn't just one method! If you'd like to chat more, feel free to message

@ Hi! I definitely recommend taking a PT every week even while doing the core curriculum (especially once you’re done the grammar sections and understand logic) because it allows you to practice everything you learned! Try to learn how to do the games part early on as well because those techniques will help you substantially with understanding PTs!

@ To me it seems as if you need to spend time practicing paraphrasing and understanding the stimulus without being timed. I recommend the Loophole because it goes into depth a good drill you can use to practice that!

@ I tried to do at least 2 sections of games per day. Each section was the regular 4 games! I did them within 35 mins but did BR untimed a second time to see if I got anything wrong. If that did happen, I would save the game and do it again the next day and then again a week later

@ @ @ I started studying in May 2021 and at the end of summer, my highest score was 163. I was struggling and plateauing at the mid/low 160s. I then took a break until May 2022 and I began to study again. I read the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy which I found extremely helpful. I did the drills recommended by the book and I did it untimed in the beginning. I also tried to ensure that I did LG every day to become faster at it. So essentially, I went back to the basics this summer and tried to build up my foundations from there. @ I think this answers your questions too!

I just finished my LSAT journey with 7Sage and I would love to thank everyone on the platform! The videos, comments, and forum has been extremely helpful and encouraging. I started out with a 155 diagnostic and just got 169 on the Nov LSAT! I wanted to write this post for encouragement and if there’s anyone that wants to chat about their journey, maybe need some tips etc, feel free to reach out! I know when I started out doing that LSAT, I was completely lost about what resources existed and how to prepare. I’m located in BC, Canada so I’ll probably be most helpful regarding Canadian law school applications! Anyone is welcome to send me a message!

If you haven't already, I recommend reading the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy! I read that after doing the core curriculum with 7Sage and that really helped me look at LR from a different perspective.
