By problem sets I mean the LR ones with 5 questions each, usually in the middle range (in the numbered list of problem sets). I feel like my brain is burning out too quickly considering that I would have to solve 50 LR questions on the real LSAT.

Also, how many "3+ difficulty" questions are there usually in a single LR section (approx. 25 questions total)? I'm getting -1 or -0 on problem sets with questions below or equal to "3 difficulty" but getting more than 1 wrong in sets with questions with "3+ difficulty" and am scared :/

Any help would be very appreciated, thanks guys.

@ Thank you for your detailed response. I'm not in a hurry or anything (I have a year+ to prepare) so I think I'm going to go with what you recommended: "Getting through as much of the core curriculum as possible, and then heading over to taking practice tests." I want to try and not reuse any PTs because the scores I get would be flawed in a way.

Just got Ultimate, how should I begin?

I got a 155 on my diagnostic in Khan Academy and was going to start out with a PT at 7sage so I could study according to the analytics. The resources I have right now are Khan Academy and 7sage (Ultimate subscription + LSAC Prep Plus).

However I read a few past posts and everyone was saying to go through the curriculum first then start with the PTs, because the PTs are precious. I agree with them and also think it'd be a good idea to go through the comprehensive curriculum because basing off my studies on the errors I had in 1 PT sounds a bit myopic.

Would it be a good plan to go through the entire curriculum, make/do problem sets of parts I found difficult, foolproof certain parts then start with the PTs? For other tests I usually learn the most by full PTing but I understand that resources for the LSAT are limited.

Just curious how everyone else reached their dream scores using 7sage. Thank you.

For example, for PT5 S2 Q17, JY solves the question by referencing from his past game boards from past questions to eliminate a majority of the ACs.

Does everyone "save" their game boards like JY does? If so, how do you go about drawing each of them out under limited time? Do you just scribble relevant figures in similar positions without making a full board?

So far, I have been making master game boards using pen and erasing memos written in pencil before moving onto the next question.

I'm curious because I feel like using JY's technique might be a game changer for me. Thank you.

Not sure how to calculate my score

Hello all, I know there are a few posts on this topic but none of them quenched my confusion hence this post.

I have a few questions regarding the calculation of my test score (PT, real test, etc.).

Why is the raw score out of 101 when only 3 sections are graded?

Is the experimental section always the repeated section? (e.g. 1RC, 1LR, 2LG = 1LG will be ungraded)

Does the scoring mechanism enabled in the 7sage "Flex Score Converter" (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter) apply to current LSAT tests (2022)? Curious as LSAC does not display current tests as "LSAT Flex", just "LSAT".

I'm really confused about the concept of "Flex" so I want to present a possible scenario:

Let's say I scored -5 RC, -0 LG, -8 LR in a 4 section PT. However there were 2 LRs (both -4) so I excluded one section by myself to arrive at a total of -5 RC, -0 LG and -4 LR. Plugged numbers into the "Flex Converter", did not tick the "2 LR sections" button, selected the correct PT number and received a 172. Disregarding the different curves for each test, would an LSAT test sometime in 2022 be scored the same way?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

either A or B means it CAN be both but just having one can suffice. how is A the right answer choice when Robbins is able to dismiss yet still cannot pass judgment? #help

bump lol i'm having the same problem. any updates @ ? i think for UAO my errors come from my resistance to spending time reading entire paragraphs and matching structures with each AC.

@ , @ , @ , @ , thank you for all the comments guys. A majority of you guys say that both practices (for LR and RC) have become "second nature"; may I ask what kind of markings you guys actually make on the actual test then?

I thought people would be actually underlining premises, conclusions, and writing low-res summaries on the actual test but doing it mentally seems to be what's happening.

#help 21 - for questions like 21 i've sometimes seen the answer be an AC that is most unrelated to the question whereas here JY just immediately eliminates AC D and E due to being unrelated. is there any way to distinguish what the question is truly asking for? is the best AC always going to be a direct opposite of the part of the passage mentioned in the question?

How can we render a claim trivial just because a trivial interpretation of that claim can rebut that claim?

@ thank you for your advice, will keep it in mind!

I know there are a few posts regarding the same topic but I don't think there has been one after the June 2022 elongation announcement, so here it goes.

I just found the "simulate FLEX" function for PTs. I am thinking of applying to law school in 2023 hence I'm curious as to whether the 3-section FLEX format will continue onwards from June 2022, because I am unsure in what format I should be doing my PTs.

Does anyone know? Any help/advice/comments would be very appreciated.

Should I take the PT?

Hey guys, I'm a 2022 test taker just really cautious about the fact that there are a limited # of PTs + its mentally draining to go through just one PT.

I took a diagnostic about a week ago and scored a 155. However I took it in Khan Academy, and 7Sage is requiring me to take another PT (the June 2007 one) as indicated on its syllabus.

After my K.A diagnostic I've only studied new concepts in LR and just merely went over my answers in RC and LG. Should I take the suggested PT right now? If not, when should I take it?
