Also, there's some webinars talking with another non-native speaker Sage by the name of Nader. Under Resources go to the one called "Our 89 Point Increase Story" to hear about him and three other former students' experiences.
Nice, I will check it out. Thank you

Hi.
The March LSAT results were in two days ago. I'm so glad to say that I scored a 169!
I know there are plenty of people here with 170+ and yet aiming for a higher score, but I am content with what I've accomplished after a long journey.
I'm an international applicant with a GPA classified as 'Superior.' I'm a traditional and have studied for the LSAT for a whole year.
I went from a 148 diagnostic, to 161 in June 2018, and to a 169 in March.
I was averaging mid-160s before the March test, so my final score took me by a huge surprise.
LR was my biggest weakness, as I started out getting -10 for each section. I improved a lot by drilling by question type and focusing on those types that I had the most difficulty with.
The Blind Review and foolproofing methods worked out wonderfully for me as well. At one point I was wasting my PTs by taking three tests per week, and obviously getting nothing out of each test. Learning the proper BR method was a game changer for me. I started seeing steady improvements in my overall performance.
I just want to say a big thank you to JY and 7Sage for your help.
I'd also like to add that 7Sage works, although the process could be long and wearisome, as it was for me. So don't give up!
Peace out :)
Congrats .I am an international student too and the test's peculiar language is a big hurdle for me. How did you overcome that issue if English is not your first language ?
Thank you so much. It was helpful.> @ said:
I'm a native speaker so I don't think I'm the best person to give you advice however, JY did a podcast episode with a non-native sager "Grey Warden" and she talks about how she overcame RC difficulties by reading the Economist and using it as RC practice. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already!

What's your first language?
My first language is Farsi
Hi 7Sagers, I moved here few years ago and English is my second language, no educational background here. I have studied engineering and would like to pursue my goal in Patent Law. I have been studying for LSAT since late 2017, and am struggling with time. I do pretty good in LG but in LR and RC I have problems with time. I wonder if anyone had a recommendation that helps test takers like me, reading faster and comprehending simultaneously.
In question #12 of this section JY made a reference to controlled group experiments and etc... Can we look at this argument as a controlled group that is missing something? and the missing point is its mistake ?
This is exactly the same as a flawed argument in PT50, section 4, question 7

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?
I had only one RC and remember there was one about movie and the external influences on its authenticity, 2nd one was fish farming, 3rd one was about 2 types of witnesses on the court. and the 4th one I couldn't catch up sadly
my LRs were real and there was an assumption question in which a club was supposed to rent something and if they had rented it a week earlier they could have saved money and author's conclusion was that '' the club is not good at saving money ''

Did anyone else find the real RC to be particularly challenging?
Honestly RC is my weakest section, but I could easily read the first 3 section and comprehend it. I am not good at details so I may have lost some detail oriented questions. comparatively speaking, it could have been more difficult.

Does anyone know if the LR section with the spiders in Guam was real or experimental?
Yes it was an strengthening question and was real

There was a student from India whose native language is not English yet she ended up with a 170. She had a Podcast session with JY recently and specifically talks about how she improved her English while studying for this test. Look it up. It's definitely available here.
Yeah another guy recommended that earlier. I listened to it. It was amazing. Specially the part that she goes "if i could do it, then anyone else can".
But thank you,
