The category of questions in logical reasoning that I have had the most trouble with are parallel or analogy questions. I am wondering if it would be worthwhile to, upon coming across them in the test, flag these questions and move on and come back to them at the end of the section. The questions are massive time eaters and I feel like my time could be better spent elsewhere. And even still, I will be coming back to them at the end anyway. I'd love to hear of any insights into this. Thanks.

Study Buddies?

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a study partner who has some familiarity with the test, and is ideally (but you don't have to be) somewhere around the 160s score range. I'm trying to make that leap into the 170s, and hope we could help each other do so.

I'm in Laramie, Wyoming so I'm doubting there will be anyone in my area lol, but we can meet over zoom, skype or something similar.

I was thinking we could both take the same PT each week, blind review it separately, then meet each weekend to review the test together, and help one another learn from missed questions. We could do this during the week with timed sections as well, or even with tough questions from drilling. Or anything else you would have in mind!

Please reach out if you're interested! Let's crush this test.

Looking for forming a study group for the upcoming LSAT dates, comment below and I will review and reach out to everyone. I will check this discussion post at February 25th. Lets tackle this exam and build our skills together!

Hello all! I would appreciate your honest feedback about my situation.

My dream school is Georgetown Law due to some of the dual programs they have, and I think I have a really strong application for this next cycle. As of now, I have a 4.0 GPA from an Ivy, with two well-known professors from the law school here writing a letter of rec for me. According to my tutor, I also have a very strong resume given my experience at some top firms around the country, and my research assistant positions at my school's law school as well as some con law extracurriculars. Given my interest in the public sector, my resume and personal statements help me in this way too.

My only potential issue is the LSAT, as I got a 165 for my first try this January. Because of a family situation that developed, and school+work, my ability to dedicate as much time to studying for the LSAT has been severely restricted. I can still study here and there, but I'm not sure how much progress I can make to raise my score given my situation, at least for this cycle.

So I was wondering if anyone could share their opinions about my competitiveness for Georgetown Law. With my resume, GPA, and score, do I have a good chance of getting in? I know their median is 171 this year but I don't know how much the extracurricular and GPA elements can help my application.

Hi, I’m offering 4 free tutoring online sessions (1hr/wk) to 1-2 students who completed the core curriculum but PT scores are in plateau. I originally planned to do this to help someone in financial hardship, but anyone is welcome and you don’t need to prove anything!

I started with a diagnostic test score of 134 and ended with an official score of 164.

I had a hard time increasing my scores because I immediately started PTing without strong foundation after a month of study. Looking back, I should have focused more on basics, especially translation of stimulus and passages.

Thus, I’d like to teach LR & RC translation skills and some question tips. I’ll be using materials from old PT 40-50s.

Please reach out to me via chat if you are interested.

Early mornings like 7-8 AM EST work best for me and late night after 9 PM EST also works for me.

Thank you!

=========================================

Already two people reached out to me and we're talking, so I will let you all know again if it doesn't work out or there's vacancy.

RC Score Fluctuations

I'm pretty consistent in my LR sections, but my RC scores seem to fluctuate A LOT. Like, -2 in one PT and then -10 in the next. As a result, my overall PT scores are pretty inconsistent as well.

What is going on? Any tips/tricks to maintaining a more consistent RC score? Anyone else have a similar experience?

Advice

I'm two days into my LSAT studying and I'm on fundamentals. I'm planning to take the test on June 7 and once more in August if things don't quite go well. I think I have time for this. I just wanted to clarify if this is right:

Premises-Provide evidence

Conclusions-Rely on evidence in order to derive an opinion??

I've been using the videos for about a month, and I wanted to take the April LSAT. I have gotten the same score (mid 140s) on three different practice tests. I cannot finish a section on time, nor do I feel like I am fully grasping the concept. Are there features I'm not using, or should I just focus on drilling? Please help. I feel so discouraged!!!!!

NJ / NYC Study Group

Hey everyone!

I’m a 20F college student preparing for the June LSAT, and I’d love to connect with others who are also studying this year! So far, I haven’t met anyone else on the same journey, so I’m looking to build a small study group or just find study buddies in the NYC or Jersey area.

I’m open to both online sessions and in-person coffee shop meetups... whatever helps make the process smoother and more motivating!

Comment if you're interested! :))

I've officially finished all of my applications (which were also immensely boosted with the help of 7Sage) and I will likely be accepting an offer from Georgetown!! I could not have gotten to where I am as expediently as I did were it not for 7Sage, so before I cancel my subscription, I wanted to share some praise for this amazing study tool.

My cold diagnostic was 165 in June, I spent the better part of three months studying my ass off on here, and I somehow managed to pull off a 172 on the September LSAT. I can't speak to RC (because I didn't end up having time to study it), but the Foundations and LR curriculums are genuinely the best study tool I could have asked for. JY and the rest of the instructors are the best at what they do, their ability to break down such arcane concepts and make them easily digestable is truly incredible. On top of that, the custom drill sets based on your recent PTs were so informative and always pointed me towards what I needed to focus on.

If you're reading this and you're unsure of which prep service to use, go with 7Sage – you will not regret it.

For those of you who are on your LSAT prep journey, some advice:

-Plan to write twice, but do your best to only write once. You do not want to be in a position where you fell short of your goal score and have to rewrite near the end of the cycle. I wrote in September with the plan being to write again in November, and luckily that ultimately wasn't necessary for me. Having a contingency plan will relieve a lot of stress, but speaking from experience, you'll only want to write again if you absolutely have to.

-Make a study itinerary/schedule and stick to it! Depending on how much time you have, treat this like a part-time job! I made a timesheet to track my prep hours, and slowly increased the number of hours/week from 7 to 25. This helped me to stay on track and hold myself accountable.

-BEWARE OF BURNOUT!!!! I cannot stress this enough. Go outside, take a walk and get some fresh air. Take a weekend off. Don't forget to spend time with friends and family. The extra preptime is never worth the crash and burn. I burnt-out hard the week before my test date and taking a well-needed break saved me from having to rewrite.

-Try not to let a dip in your PT scores get you down. This has happened to pretty much everyone I've talked to, and it can be very demoralizing. In my experience, it's likely because you either did a more difficult PT or you're starting to burnout.

If anybody has any questions about my experience, please feel free to reply to this post or message me (I think I'll still be able to see that after I cancel)! Thanks again to 7Sage for everything you do. :)

Hi. I'm having trouble finding the actual test questions. Every time I go to the preptest section all that comes up is a list of the tests, and when I click on one it only shows me the answer/bubble document but not the actual questions. Has anyone had a similar problem/know how to fix this?
