The same thing happened to me and this is what I did: the day after I got my score back I took a timed LR section and a two passage RC drill to just kind of gauge where im at and see what might've gone wrong during august test because they dont release the test. Then based on what that section and drill showed I am basing what I do everyday on that, for example, I made myself two conditional drills because that was my weak spot, checked those and made a quizlet for what my weaknesses in that area were. Then everyday after that I am basing what I do on what my weaknesses were from the day before or starting to drill and review a new one. For me, getting back into studying has been made easier by the fact that im taking it way lighter this time. Whereas for the august test I was studying 3+ hours a day, for the October test im doing no more than 2 hours of studying a day. Once you start it becomes easy to continue going. You got this! If you did it before you can definitely do it again.
I did the same for my first official lsat score (august) and regret it now. But a couple things to think about is that yeah while many people think cancelling is stupid or does nothing I think it a) gives you a piece of mind even if schools still see that you cancelled and b) if you have score preview you might as well do it to make the higher score stand out to schools.
@Great1720 wow u just taught me more in 30 seconds than I've learned in six months
@Matters I definitely think youre right and its reassuring to know that im not the only one going through it. thank you so so much for the advice and good luck to you too!
The biggest thing that I noticed was that you took the two most recent ones back to back, one today and then one the day before which could suggest burnout. Also did you throughly review all of your wrong answers from the one two days ago before taking the most recent one? Like physically write out why each answer choice is wrong and why the right one is right, what the gap is, why you got it wrong like what tripped you up. If you're not reviewing before taking a new one then you're not learning anything you're just reinforcing bad habits. What helped me was to make a drill of my weakest tags from each section (like conditional, flaw, etc) after reviewing it and put what I just learned from my review into practice. I hope this helps!
Watch suits. I've rewatched suits three times in the 7 months I've been studying for the lsat.
hey I had the same issue with RC just a few months back when I really ramped up my studying for the august test and what I started doing was capping my time for each passage and the questions within it. I have time and a half so each passage should take me no longer than 13 minutes to get through with about 1.5 per question, and so if I found myself spending more than 1.5 minutes on a question I would take my best guess and come back to it if time permits. The thing that really helped me though was doing untimed drills and giving myself more time than I needed to find the correct answer but still giving myself a capped limit on how much time I could spend while still being able to prove each answer correct (like 20 minutes for example). And I would then get better and need less and less time after that. I hope you find this useful or it helps!
hey! I am doing the exact same thing with like eight different schools and my personal statement. two of them want to know "why them" and im just going to add it in at the end after I explain my reasons for wanting to pursue a career in law and the specific type of law I want to do. Thats the best way I've found to do it. I hope this kinda helps!
I've been working with Ryn for about a month, and I've seen a huge difference in both my scores and my confidence. I started with a 141 diagnostic, and I recently scored a 165 on a practice test. My highest-priority categories on 7Sage have improved significantly, and I finally feel like I understand how to approach the LSAT instead of just guessing my way through it. More importantly, I feel so much more confident going into the August test than I ever did preparing for June. She is patient, encouraging and really tailors sessions and study plans to your individual weaknesses. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an LSAT tutor!
annoying but you have to do it individually now. its the fifth button down the right hand side. I just work through all the answer choices now and cross them out as I go. once you click on the cross out button, you have to then click on the letter you want to cross out.
@gpigalicious what I did was tried the question myself and if I got it right AND could explain why my answer was right and all others are wrong, move on. if not, watch the video.
I find these questions to be a lot easier and less time consuming if you dont come up with your own assumptions because that will just confuse you more. I just skim through the answer choices quickly, choose one I think would answer the question of "why could this be?", and then use process of elimination on the rest of them to confirm my answer choice.
hey I took the august argumentative and while im not an expert I can share my experience with it.
I spent like a day or two preparing but only a totality of like maybe 3 hours
they do! its this https://7sage.com/lessons/lsat-writing/lsat-argumentative-writing/the-new-lsat-writing-and-how-to-prepare
I did two just to build confidence and get exposure to what it's like. use law hub to find the prompts and try to mimic testing conditions
the structure I used was a paragraph each for intro + thesis, argument 1, argument 2, counterargument and conclusion + restate thesis
give it your best shot and treat it as if it was graded because with the rise in AI use for stuff like this law schools are taking it more seriously but with that said also dont stress out too much about it, its more fun than difficult.
