I would like to start this off by saying I am VERY grateful for my score, and know that a lot of people would do anything for it, so this should not come across as complaining.

I have plateaued right around 168, and would LOVE to break the 170 threshold before the January test. What have you done to break into the 170's? I know that with just 15 days before I sit, much of the work has already been done, but what could I do to get that final push?

Hey, I'm looking to take a diagnostic prep test soon but I don't want to waste any of the newer tests and I am a little bit confused by the numbering for the new prep test format. What would be a good test (or range of tests) to try without it being so old that it's obsolete or so new that its wasteful to do so early?

I had a diagnostic score of 159, and after finishing the syllabus did two PTs with scores of 167 for both. However, the following PTs I did after that were 164, 163, and 163. I took a few days to drill and review lessons for questions I was struggling with, came back and tried another PT that I felt fairly confident in after finishing. I ended up scoring a 158, which is worse than my diagnostic. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed since I am getting progressively worse each time I take a PT despite studying and drilling continuously. Has anyone dealt with this before? Feeling really defeated and worried for the upcoming Jan test.

I am applying this cycle currently with a 156 on my lsat and am retaking in January with hopes of improving. Aside from my score I feel I have a strong application: Two internships at international and local nonprofits (one 3 months-full time and one 8 months long- part time, and an internship in the legal department of a crime victims assistance center (4 months-part time). I am a human rights masters student (4.0 gpa) with an extensive capstone project focusing on legal issues and undergrad was in philosophy politics and law (3.86 gpa, summa cum laude at my university). I also have extracurriculars and have worked part time throughout undergrad and now graduate school. I am a first gen student, second gen US citizen and have received need based aid throughout school. Will my LSAT score significantly drag me down? My goal school is Northeastern University School of Law in Boston. Should I apply even if my score doesn't improve or try to improve and apply next cycle and get more work experience?

Hello. I want to drill and practice by question type. I have trouble reading on a screen for a while now and want to print out the questions so I can drill on paper. I don't see an option to download a PDF version when I select question types. I think we can do that for complete Preptests (?). Anyone have any suggestions? Any way to do that on 7sage? Or any other sources I can use?

I'm studying for the February LSAT and aiming for a 170+. Last October I got a 167, and I consistently PT in the 167-173 range. I'm looking to form a small group to study with (2-4), ideally with people that are in a similar situation. Although I prefer to meet in person, part of me doubts that anyone on this forum is in the RDU area, so I'm flexible to meet online with anybody in the Eastern time zone. If interested please reach out.

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

Hello everyone! I am taking the LSAT for the first time in a few weeks and it will be remotely proctored. I have a 50% additional time extension for my disability. What should I expect on test day? Will I be alone with a proctor or will there be other students there as well? Also, will I be allowed to use the highlight and cross-out answers features on the actual test? Lastly, will I be able to monitor the time I have left like I can on PTs or will I get some kind of warning about the time I have left? Any response would be much appreciated, I just want to hear from people with testing experience. Also, good luck to my fellow January test-takers!

I don't know what I am doing wrong, or if I am just not smart enough for this test. I have been studying tirelessly on top of working full-time as a paralegal and being a mom of two. I have even hired a 7sage tutor and have now done 4 sessions with very little improvement. For context, my PTs prior to my November LSAT were in the high 140s. My actual score was 139 :/. I have been studying non-stop since and my PT scores are still 139! I don't understand, once I complete BR I can increase my score to 146. All I want is a 155+ for the January test so I can still apply this cycle. The test is 17 days away and I am no where near where I want to be.

I would love to hear how people have increased their score and what has worked for you in actually seeing PT scores increase...HELP!!

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

Hey folks! I'm restarting my studies after taking a break from this past July up until now. I got a 160 on the June '24 LSAT, and I'm hoping to bump that up closer to 170 either by this coming April or June. Any suggestions for warming back up to studying? I'm thinking starting off with untimed drills and moving more toward timed.

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.

Over the past 9 PT's (taken over the last three months or so -- I've had to take roughly one PT per two weeks due to other commitments), I have been scoring basically 171-3. BR for these have ranged from 175-180. It feels like the most intense plateau. I usually get around 7-8 wrong, and they're pretty evenly distributed between the two LR sections and the RC section. My intuition tells me that LR is where I can squeeze out some more points (probably RC too, but I really think I have more to give with LR). But I'm totally unsure as to how to get those extra points. It's not like there is a common type of question that I get wrong, even though they generally tend to be the more difficult questions.

I have around 10 modern PT's left. I recently started taking one per week. I'm now wondering if I should space them out more so that I don't run out of material and focus more on drills. Trouble is, I am lost as to what strategy I should take for overcoming this plateau. I was hoping that others who have been in a similar place before and succeeded in breaking the plateau had some tips!

Hello everyone! @C_J_2020 and I have been prepping together and can consistently score in the upper 170's or 180. We have found that explaining questions really improves understanding of the test on a deeper level and would love the chance to help out some others while improving our consistency! We are looking for 160's and 170's scoring individuals to help tutor one on one or in a small group. If anyone is interested feel free to reach out!

I can get the easier WSE questions right, and the occasional 4/5 star difficulty questions right, but I have yet to get 5/5 on a hard difficulty WSE drill. I am getting frustrated. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach these questions? I feel like the method to the madness here is vague and therefore much harder to nail down.
