That's awesome, congrats! I noticed you hit a 167 just a few weeks ago. What do you think clicked?

Here's how I have come to understand why E is correct and not A.

We know that popular historical awareness is inevitably distorted, and we know how (the implication...). A is just restating that. But we need a way to connect that to the first sentence of the stimulus. So we need to show that when historical awareness is distorted, citizens don't know history. E bridges this by showing that historical awareness (the implication...) distorts history.

@Marin.Arvin That thought crossed my head too, but ultimately, it's the best answer. A and E can be eliminated because of the concession that the device will be purchased at its current price. C is irrelevant. I'd assume fences also don't cause significant stress. D is also irrelevant; I'm sure fences are also pretty effective. B is the best answer, so we can put our "What if" assumption to the side.

@PhoebeHopp I will try elimination drilling and answering RC wo looking at the passage again, which I don't do! I sometimes waver between answers, but I've gotten better at it. I tend to be down to 2-3 consistently though, but usually I'll miss easy points before the 20th question because the main concept didn't click / I read too fast to truly process.

I tend to have time at the end, so it isn't a timing issue. I also use my resources well, including flagging. Thanks!

improving before august lsat

hi guys! i took the june lsat and was satisfied with my score, but i literally want 2 points higher, as that can make or break some admissions, and it's just not happening. obviously my blind review can be 4 points higher after a pt, so i have understanding, but i still am stuck.

any insightful tips, whether serious or just a quick life hack that worked, that will help me out? i want to be done! i've only gotten that target score once in april on a pt.

head start on personal statements

hello, i am going to apply to a lot of schools for fall 2027 admission and would love to start writing essays this summer. i have personal and diversity statement drafts, which i know stay the same each year. however, i worry that if i work on school-specific prompts from previous years, they might change. are the 7sage prompts accurate? also they dont really list response length which is also a problem for me. should i just work with that, or what do you recommend? i have a busy fall and want to take advantage of my summer

if you have any tips on how to organize my time with what components of my apps i should work on, please also lmk, thanks!

@AriVilker1 makes sense! I also noticed that the predictions are very different from those on the lsd website despite inputting the same details. Do you have any comments about that?

confused about how admissions odds work on 7sage

hi! i am confused on how 7sage decides the chances you'll get into a certain school. For example, why is it that I have more of a chance of getting into a school where i am farther away from the median than another school...?

letters of rec help

hi, i am in the process of asking for LORs. however, i am unsure how long they are supposed to be. i dont know if it differs from school to school, but my recommender would ideally write a general letter. also, do i need to give them any information like school /company information to add, etc?

optional essay on lsat score

hi, so i just got my lsat score back. im pretty happy with it, but it is on the lower side (25th percentile) for the T-20 schools i am considering. i was nervous while taking the test, but of course that's not really a valid excuse. i was thinking about writing an additional statement on how my standardized test scores dont define me. i applied test optional to an ivy league school for undergrad and got in despite my sat/act score also being on their lower side, yet i am graduating near the top of my class with a 3.9x gpa. i wonder if this will convince admissions officers that my score doesn't define my potential. any thoughts?

I was between C and D but ultimately chose C. I eliminated D because it doesn't need to be the case that by itself, each story is not "completely" consistent. Let's say they're 1% different...that's not doing anything to weaken the argument.

how to get better at flaw questions?

I am so bad at these. I am good at LR except for flaw and one other question type. I just can't figure it out. Sometimes I'll find a gap but it isn't the right one. Other times the answer choices are too subtle or I find multiple ones correct. Sometimes I don't see how the answer is really a flaw. I need a way to reframe these/think about them correctly.

@NatMan i'll honestly start doing that!

@NatMan maybe a few times it'll be because of the stem. other times i guess i'll just pick an answer i think is good and so i'll move on but then because it's flagged and ik i got it wrong i'll go over it slowly and realize the answer i picked wasn't the right one.

for example one time i got a necessary assumption wrong and i reread it and realized the stim said smth that totally pointed to the correct answer but i didnt see it

another time i read the stim but nothing jumped out at me and i just picked the right answer. only when i compared my initial take to br did i realize i picked the wrong answer and i was mind blown

@cattail8148 I agree. it's also very variable. sometimes mine will be high and other times so low that i'd never get that score on a pt unless i guessed on everything. also, it will show up for something as short as a 5 question drill which is a heavily unrepresented sample!

Advice before June lsat

Hello everyone, I hope your studies are going well! I have been consistently PTing at a 168 average recently, and I just know I have the potential to hit a 170+. My BR proves this. I noticed that there are questions that I will get wrong on LR, but during BR, I'll immediately choose the right answer, even going as far as thinking that the answer is obvious. I don't know how it flies over my head during the actual test, and this happens for at least 3 questions every exam. Those 3 questions could push me to the 170s. Sometimes these questions are flagged and sometimes they're not. Regardless, somehow I'll totally miss the obviousness of the right answer. I've been trying to focus more on that mistake but I'm not getting anywhere. Does anyone have advice?
