How many questions per section type are you missing? Are you finishing the sections in time? Lastly how do you feel during the sections; panicked, rushed, etc.?. For us to point you in the right direction we need a bit more details.

@ said:

I echo what @ said. I think we need more details.

Speaking from my experience, I started scoring in 160s after my BR scores hit the 170s. I reached upper 160s-170s when I constantly BRed in high 170s.

What is your score breakdown? Do you go -0 on LG? I always recommend maximizing your LG score before focusing on other issues.

On average I'd say I'm missing:

LR: -8 LG: -5 RC: -12

Either JUST finishing or not finishing every section. LR I sometimes have 2 or 3 I have to just fill in D. RC the science passage (usually my worst so I skip at first) I only ever am able to fast skim. LG the last game is very rushed and more prone to errors because of time. I wouldn't say I'm panicked, but I definitely know that I am too slow and I think knowing that I'm behind stresses me out a little bit when I'm testing.

Is there a recommended way to improve my speed without sacrificing accuracy? Or should I just keep PTing and hope it comes with practice? I was thinking maybe some drilling on question types that are especially difficult for LR would help, and then reading some hard science passages. But should I be timing these too?

Help - new to BR and 7sage!

Hello 7sage!

I am new to the blind review process and a little bit confused about writing out explanations. Does anyone have any drafts of what they wrote for one of their PT's specifically for LR sections that was helpful to them?

Additionally, I am trying to break the 160 mark by March or June depending. My past PT's have been somewhat inconsistent. 149 diagnostic, 152, 153, 157, 150... I took a few weeks off after the 150 because I felt discouraged, but I'm back now! :)

I took the Kaplan online course and feel like I have an okay grasp on the the core concepts of LR and RC. I've also started the fool proof method for LG and purchased 7Sage LSAT starter course. But I'm wondering, should I go through the 7sage CC meticulously again, or can I just watch videos on concepts I feel weak in and skip around?

Will it give me an edge that Kaplan couldn't? Or should I just head straight into weekly PTs and Blind Review? I can only give about 15 hours/week to studying because of work and school, so I want to be as efficient as possible!

Thank you!

Can my actual score catch up to my BR?

Hi guys! I am PT ing in the mid 150's (157, 156, 155, 153) but my Br is always mid to high 60s! Time is my WORST enemy. For some reason, my actual score has decreased while my BR has increased. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Do you think it's realistic to have a goal score of 163? I am planning on taking the test in March and June. Any suggestions as to how I should ramp up my studying in the mean time? I really really need to hit the 160's!

Apply early or retake LSAT in Oct/Nov?

hello! I have a 3.73 GPA and just got a 158 LSAT on the July test. I have been PTing pretty consistently in the 157-160 range so this was expected---but now my question is, do I study extra hard these next 2 months and push for a couple more points to MAYBE hit that 160 (I say maybe because I work 55 hours a week now that I graduated), or should I get all my apps in by early OCT and try to get in that way?

So basically, is it better to apply later but with the POSSIBLE chance of a 160, or apply ASAP in oct with a 158?

According to the 7sage predictor, my chances are better by about 15% if I apply now with a 158 even if I did hit that 160 but applied in Dec. Has anybody else had a similar experience in their cycles?

***EDIT: I'm at 75 percentile GPA and 25 percentile LSAT for most schools right now, making me a reverse splitter.

Tips for LR?

Hi everyone --

I'm averaging around 158 on my 5 most recent practice tests right now and really want to break 160's consistently! I'm averaging around -7 on LR sections, and not really seeing a trend as to missed question types. I feel like I have the foundation/CC down pretty well and am running into over confidence errors a lot of the time.

Should I be drilling LR sections instead of taking full PT's? Or should I go through CC again? I've also read the LSAT trainer. I just feel a little stuck! Would love to be getting -3/-4 consistently...

Anyone else run into this problem and overcome it?

I remember doing an RC passage about a record label and Detroit. Was that one in the real RC or the experimental section? Also, what about the passage about griot, was that in the real RC or the experimental?

griot is real!

1 RC only here - Fish Farms are confirmed.

Can the non LR experimentals confirm if they only had 26Q LR sections for both?

Both real LR sections had 26 Q's

Did anyone have the RC section with fisheries or movies and their intended audiences?

Yep! That's the real one.

I remember doing an RC passage about IP or computers. Was that one in the real section or experimental? What about the one about groit (or something like that?

@ said:

Ok so mine went like this:

Section 1: Reading Comp (with the fisheries reading)

Section 2: Logical Reasoning

Section 3: Logic Games

Section 4: Logical Reasoning

Section 5: Logic Games

I've been reading that section 3's logic game was the experimental.

Same with me!! Section 3 confirmed as experimental, thank God

Hello 7sage! :)

I am in Orange, CA and am looking for someone with a little bit experience to Blind Review with starting after the holidays! I'm new to 7sage, so I want to make sure I master this method correctly. I'm looking to break the 160s hopefully. Would prefer in person but am open to other options too!
