Hi!
I think that going through the core curriculum on LR can help with this if you haven’t already tried doing so. I found that familiarizing myself with the question types and their respective processes towards the correct answer was infinitely helpful.

Hi everyone,
I’m taking the October LSAT and I’m trying to map out my study time. Will the 7Sage course on LG prepare me for the LG section, or will I need a lot more practice after I’ve been through all of the videos and drills?
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I keep hearing that more restrictive rules are better to split the board with. How do you tell if a rule is more or less restrictive?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Hi everyone,
When sequencing games use years instead of the basic numerical set-up, it really confuses me. Tips on how to speed up my process when I get something like 1989-1995 instead of 1-7? Should I put the years on my game board?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Hi everyone,
What is the best way to diagram spatial (circular) sequencing games? And am I likely to see one on test day? I tried to diagram a circular sequencing game close to the beginning of my prep (I think it was the June 1991 PT) and literally drew a circle for each board, which took way too long and felt way too artsy (lol), and I don’t think I should have done it that way, since the only thing that the circle was conveying was that certain game pieces were across from each other.
Thanks in advance for any help.
For RC, you should begin by drilling science passages. Do 4 in a row of differing difficulties, and I guarantee that they will get easier. Improving at this test is all about confronting your existing weaknesses. Your inconsistency in score is evident of a lapse in knowledge.
Technically, you are free to apply on February 1st, as it is the last day that applications are accepted.
However, many would advise for potential law students to apply early, since most schools will have already filled up their seats by then. Could you wait a year before applying or move your LSAT date up?

Thanks for your response!
I know that this isn’t a strengthening question…I should have specified my question before, sorry! In my description above, I was referring to answer choice A, which states that the argument proceeds by “redefining a term in a way that is favorable to the argument.” My question is: How is this redefining of “natural” favorable? And upon extension, when does the argument actually do this? Is this something that happens in the premises?
I chose answer choice B originally, but only because I had eliminated A right off the bat and saw clear flaws with all of the other answer choices. I see why B is clearly flawed and I saw it as such even when I chose it, but I couldn’t do much with this question under timed conditions.
Really confused as to why the definition is helpful to the argument. Could someone parse this out for me please?
Hi everyone,
Whenever I complete a sequencing games drill, my set-up time is always way too long…I don’t know how to speed this process up because I usually make all of the relevant boards and inferences during my set-up time. As a result, I always finish the questions quickly and under time. My time is usually collectively less than the target time, but my set-up time is always over the target set-up time.
Is this sustainable in the long run, or should I focus on taking my set-up time down? If I need to speed up on set-up, how should I work on doing so?
Thank you for any help.
@ For sure! I find I have a much better “grasp” of the game during the second pass through
What works best for blind reviewing logic games?
I think you should definitely focus on LR and LG, 7Sage has a great curriculum for both that I’d recommend to anyone!
I think that it’s good to record your mistakes, but you should also be drilling timed sections, drilling missed question types, and referencing your list of mistakes often. You have to attack weaknesses to improve on this test.

You should give RC Hero a chance if you haven’t. It’s really helped me so far
hey how long did you use the service for? Im taking the november lsat
I’m not through the entire curriculum yet, but I’ve had the prerecorded bootcamp for around two weeks! I think you could benefit from it substantially for November if you’re able to dedicate a good portion of time to it. In any case, it is a great service and if you need more time to get RC down (many do!) there is no harm or shame in postponing or retaking the exam. A few point difference could mean the difference between an A or R come law school apps! It could also mean the difference between getting $$ or not.

Did absolutely terrible due to noises in my house and I think general nerves. Really fucking sucks since I was steamrolling PT's the past two weeks, made sure to get familiar with the actual test UI, and my proctor was really nice too. Such a waste of time just to probably get a 156-158 come 11/2
I feel the same!!! The nerves are what screwed me.
Bump, also @ could you look into making this possible?

Focus on your health these last few days! You sound burnt out
Flag and move on. Freaking out will only hurt you. Come back after doing some other questions. Sometimes your brain just doesn’t work during that first read through.
Congratulations! Could you make a post with advice?
I’d love to join :-) taking October and November
@ Sorry…Just got a score of 1,000 on the real test, didn’t break a sweat, and finished seven hours before time was called.
Hi everyone,
As the title says, I’m looking for someone who is willing to peer review my personal statement. I have a very rough idea of what I want to write about, but I don’t have the exact words to explain my experience, or how it impacted me and made me into the person I am today. I am also a first-gen in law and a KJD with limited experience, which makes this process so much harder. In exchange, I’m extremely willing to peer review your PS!
I’m looking for honest critiques and advice. Please don’t be afraid to be harsh — I know my PS needs a lot of work! The idea I have might not even pan out. I am very early in the writing process.
Definitely practice LG so that you can finish that last game. Once you’re done with that, fix any outstanding issues in LR. I found that working on LR also increased my RC score.
You can also buy score preview for October and cancel your score if you are unsatisfied. That being said, 172 is an amazing score, which will allow you to get aid and admission at many great schools. Good luck this cycle, and great work!!
Congratulations! This is the first 160+ of many :-)
I’ve heard that this is the number one way to increase your RC score because it improves focus. I’m pretty sure I have adhd, or at least add, but I’d like some tips on how to stay interested regardless. Whenever I hit a science passage it’s way harder for me to stay interested (and thereby stay focused, which impacts my ability to understand anything). As opposed to humanities passages, which are usually more interesting and relatable. What can I do? I love learning new things, but with the time constraints of the test and because they give us four passages, it’s hard for me to remain fully committed the whole time.
Finish the CC and The Loophole! Both were extremely helpful to me. Consider retaking if October turns out to be a score you don’t want. Don’t give up! The LSAT is very learnable! Feel free to DM me specific questions or problems as you go through the CC and I’ll do my best to explain my own methodology.
Hi, are these for the current cycle? I noticed a lot of the comments were from a year ago. Thanks for the link!
I don’t think it matters, as long as you complete the section in time. I usually just go in order of the games presented to me.
You can really utilize 7Sage to perfect LG. It took me three weeks to get through their core curriculum on LG and another week of diligent practice to consistently perform at mastery level/get -0, but you can take as long as you’d like as it is just video lessons and drills. In other words, you’ve come to the right place. Also, I’m currently working my way through the LR core curriculum, and I am seeing my overall knowledge/intuition of this section improve. Although I have not taken a full test since starting the LR cc, I am optimistic that my score will correspondingly improve.
Really great advice — thank you for this! And congratulations on your amazing score :-)
