I'm extremely comfortable with the LR sections, and on average with my current methods I'm getting around -3 per section. What are some uncommon, or otherwise hyperanalytical methods to improve to -2 or less consistently?

Hi all,

I recently answered a question (PrepTest 112 - Section 3 - Question 26) during a drill that confused me. In short, there was an argument about a fifth force (as opposed to the traditional four) existing within scientific models of the universe. My confusion results from the question's phrasing: "which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument that there is a 5th force?"

I found this phrasing confusing, as it is not clear to me which argument it is referring to. Is this asking for the answer choice which most strengthens the idea that there is a fifth force? Or, more specifically, is the question asking to identify the answer choice which most strengthens the argument provided in the stimulus which concludes there is a fifth force?

These two possible arguments referred to by the question are quite similar. They have identical inclusions, and one includes the other. And, through process of elimination, I arrived at the correct answer. But I am concerned about questions of this nature appearing again. How do you interpret this? Is it clear to you?

All opinions are invited and appreciated!

Thank you

Happy New Year everyone! May your year be filled with no LSAT tears and lots of high PT & Test day scores :) (the tears may be inevitable but its the thought that counts haha)

Hey everyone and Happy New Year's! As we enter 2025 and manifest high scores in the months to come, I thought it'd be great to find a local study group. Is there anyone in the St. Louis area who would like to work together or who knows of a group that's already formed?

Thank you!

Hi, I'm looking to start a very small study group of 3 to 4 people that are in the similar range, that we can meet and discuss questions together to help improve for the February LSAT

Hi guys,

I've recently taken the Nov 2024 LSAT and am pretty discouraged by the results, to say the least. I had been preparing for the last two months or so (about 5 hours per day appx) and had been doing a lot of PTs (too many I'm sure) in a range of 172-176 with a couple outliers outside the range on both sides, and I ended up scoring a 167 on the actual exam. There were a few adverse conditions which I am confident wouldn't occur again on a retaking, but I don't think any of it could have had that big of an impact so there must be something else. I took a 'diagnostic' two and a half months ago or so and got a 169. Please note though that I did take the exam back in 2020 (hence the username), and I scored a 168 on that one, so the 169 'diagnostic' wasn't a real diagnostic as I was obviously still familiar with the exam from four years ago.

I usually get from -1 to -3 on both the LR and the RC, but generally if I miss 3 on an LR section for instance I'll only miss 1 on the other and only miss 1 on the RC. Doing the math for the 167, I guess I must've missed 13 total at a minimum, which is pretty outside of my range, and almost unbelievable to be honest. It's also frustrating that they no longer allow you to view the exam to find out where you missed your points and review the questions for potential inaccuracy.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, where you've dropped 6 or 7 points from your average PT score on the actual exam? It's hard to take to be honest, and I can't help but feel like my PT scores are meaningless in the face of the score I just got. Also, I know it's somewhat common, but I don't understand how my score could have been below my diagnostic after multiple months of prep. It's all very discouraging, and I'm not really sure what to make of it or what to do differently. I know I need to take fewer practice tests (which is good because I burned like 15 of them in total), but what should we be doing to practice, actually? Just timed drills? At this rate, I worry that I'll run out of legit LSAT questions before I can get my target score (174) on an actual exam.

I don't know if I'm looking for advice or validation, but I think I would be happy with either or both. This was a long one so thank you if you've read this far. I'm kind of considering buying a few hours with a tutor (unsure of where) so let me know if you have an opinion on that with the poll below. Thank you

I live in Colorado Springs & work a 9-5. Looking for a (or multiple!) study buddy.

Is there a way to view my most recent drilled problems? I have a bank of questions that I've completed but I'm not sure when I completed them.

I live in Hawaii and I haven't met a single person online studying for the LSAT from here :( Is there anyone else in Hawaii studying for the LSAT? Or even West Coast peeps? I have a very active discord server with amazingly smart people I love studying with but they're mostly East Coast. Even though we have 3-4 study sessions scheduled every week, I can't make them sometimes if I'm working. I'd love more Hawaii or West Coast people to join so we can schedule study sessions :')

Please comment your discord user below so I can add you!!! And if you ARE from Hawaii please let me know, we could even plan in-person cafe study sessions together!!

Hi! I am just starting in my LSAt study journey, anyone in Atlanta interested in studying to hold one another accountable?

I recently purchase the 7Sage curriculum and was able to access and complete both drills and Preptests 4 days ago. Now when I go to do drills or take a Preptest it wont show me the questions unless I have a Law Hub account which costs $120. I am already paying $69 for this. I cannot afford both. Do I need to purchase the other account even though I purchased this one?

Thanks in advance

Want to start studying January 2025

Hello, I live in dallas am looking for someone to study with on weekends. let me know if anyone else here is in DFW and we can start a group chat!

.............I can't print out new prep tests

Hi guys- I'm applying to a law school that asks you to list each educational institution attended, along with the GPA for each. I have two questions:

For the GPA for my undergraduate institution, should I list my LSAC GPA or transcript GPA? My LSAC GPA is higher so I would rather do that, but I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

I attended a pre-college program, as well as an abroad program (run by my college). My GPA for both the pre-college program credit and abroad program credit are reflected on my transcript and factored into my overall undergraduate GPA. Do I need to include the GPAs with my entries for the pre-college program and abroad program on the law school app?

Hi all,

Looking for a study buddy or study group. Currently live in the Bay Area (close to San Francisco). Please leave a comment if available. :)

If you are interested in being study partners meeting frequently 1-2 times a week please let me know! We are all in this together. I work a 9-5 but I am dedicated to studying after work! Score wise I don’t care! I think everyone can help anyone! I am also on the EST time zone.

Hi! I'm based in NYC and am looking for individuals to study with for the April LSAT. My current score is 160 and looking to reach 170 by April

Hello! I recently graduated and work full time. I try to get in a couple hours of studying after work and on the weekends, but have definitely been slacking. I'm looking for a group to meet virtually 5-7pm ET on weekdays maybe longer and meet for a couple of hours on the weekends. If anyone if interested please leave a comment or send a message. Thank you!

Looking for an online study group for people aiming for 165+ and taking the feb LSAT. Open to in person as well

I'm absolutely over the moon!!! From 151 in September to 162 now, I'm so proud of myself!!

__

Since getting back my November LSAT score, I realized I need to go back & re-learn the fundamentals. I’ve been studying since April so im pretty familiar with the test already. I just need a stronger understanding of the basics. After im done with the fundamental learning, im going to start practicing questions.

So, I mainly want accountability / motivation partners to check in with or silently study together!!

Comment if you're interested!

Hi all! I had been consistently scoring between 165-167 on previous PTs before I took the Nov LSAT, and was incredibly disappointed to when I found out I 160 on it. This is my first time using 7sage and I am taking the January LSAT.

How in depth should I be studying each LR question type? I'm finding that doing the lessons don't leave me much time for drilling and I'm not sure how to balance it. Would love some advice on how to use the study plan in tandem with drilling and taking sections!

Thanks :)

I am a 21 y/o early college grad and while I took a “gap year” in order to really focus on the LSAT and Law School Apps, I’ve done the opposite so now i’m kind of playing catch up. I am registered to take the exam in January and really just looking to allocate some time to study with others going through the same thing. My motivation has been lacking as I’m the only one I know pursuing Law so I think this would be a great way for me to push myself to study while also connecting w others in similar situations!
