Curious if folks at this point are having issues scheduling their April test? For days, I’ve been having “No Available Times” and LSAC has told me to reach out to Prometric who hasn’t gotten back to my request from the “Contact Us” page. Bueller?
Your PT's are your range not the be all end all. And just know that your progress zoomed out is trending positive! You've got one data point where you're zooming in on the graph, but know you're on the up and up 📈
Omgosh how did I get here?
It definitely was a point at a time. Having a full breadth understanding of approaches to EACH question type (some of which have a primary and secondary strategy). And then not being too hard on yourself for making mistakes (even for the second or third time), but knowing how to fix them eventually.
I think one of 7sages most recent podcasts said it best, that your studies aren’t going to feel linear zoomed in. Meaning, your trend line isn’t always going to be score increases every PT. But as a whole, from when I started it’s definitely up and positive! Best of luck friends!
Messaged!
Yeah! I’m currently re-going through all my conditional logic material with my 7Sage Coach and I realized that there is a V1 curriculum! There’s a butting toggle somewhere in the lesson.
Right now, I’m formalizing the 7-9 formal argument types by making a CondR reference page on Coda and really getting all of it in my back pocket, like if someone were to wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me to do a 4-5 star difficulty CondR question in under 1minute 45 seconds, I could.
Formal logic took a while for it to sink in, it’s literally like learning a new language and unless you were a Phil or some type of Eng/CompSci major where it was [technically] needed, it’s such a foreign niche concept. So take your time and go easy on yourself cause you’re not alone!

Called Prometric directly as per LSAC, mentioned something to do with my accommodations and that their department would have to handle it directly. And gave me: 1-800-967-1139. I spoke with a rep and they had to place a particular request, but gave me a case number to call back to check in for status.
Yeah, my scores have been varying between weekly PT's and I've been studying a while, since October (e.g. I just scored 167 today, and last week's was 159, the before 157, and a few weeks before a 164).
I think the 7sage podcast mentioned this phenomenon best when it was saying that your PT's are not always linear...but when you zoom out on your chart after studying for a while, you WILL see a positive trend line. Especially if you're putting in the work!
When I transitioned into a new platform and strategies I also saw (a somewhat jump scare) dip in my score, but now that I'm in the groove, it's been fine tuning.
Hope that shows it's not too unusual for score variation. Best of luck!
