Hello! For anyone who has taken the actual test, how much different is it compared to the PTs? I know the PTs are past exams, but I saw an earlier post saying that the test was not representative of the PTs and that made me freak out. In terms of difficulty how was it in comparison?

I took the October LSAT and I am signed up to take the November one as well. I felt as though the LR sections were majority hard questions and maybe had only one or two low hanging fruit questions. I was scoring very well on practice tests, but once I took the actual test I did not feel like the PT's were anywhere near representative of the actual test. I am not sure if I should spend this time studying mostly the "Harder" and "Hardest" questions or if my experience was mostly test anxiety. Is there any harm to just drilling the more difficult questions?

Hi all,

I've created a comprehensive spreadsheet that includes a completion checklist, practice test tracker, problem set tracker, and wrong answer journal. The goal of the completion checklist is to allow for easy goal setting, and for some, scratch a completionist's itch. The problem set tracker allows you to track how many sets you've done and how many times you've taken it. The wrong answer journal is organized in a way that can be easily navigated and hopefully easy to use. I'm planning on using this to stay on track of my study goals and hope it can help some others along the way! To use it, please make a copy of it, and let me know if there's anything I missed or that you would like me to add.

Thank you!

I’ve just started drilling after finishing the Core Curriculum and Foundations about a month ago. Right now, I’m focusing on Logical Reasoning, doing around 4–5 sets of three questions each. My accuracy is about 51%, and my Blind Review accuracy is around 72%. This is after just two days (about 40 questions total).

I know it’s hard to say for sure, but does that seem like a good sign? Am I on track? My goal for January is roughly a 155–158. Not sure if I should be encouraged or discouraged, lol.

Dentist: Five recently conducted studies all show that the proportion of children with decayed, missing, or filled teeth is lower in Europe, where water is not fluoridated, than in the United States, where it is. This is convincing evidence that fluoridation of water does not have a substantial tendency to prevent tooth decay.

Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the dentist's argument?

(A) Toothpaste containing fluoride is widely available in both the United States and Europe. (B) Nearly all dentists in the United States use dental treatments involving the application of fluoride directly to tooth surfaces.

(C) Dental hygiene is typically taught in elementary school in both Europe and the United States.

(D) On average, children in Europe receive dental checkups more frequently than children in the United States.

(E) The diets of children in the United States are not generally worse for teeth than those of children in Europe.

Since I've started studying for the lsat for the past few months, i hadn't really focused on rc as my biggest area of weakness was LR and now as my exam is coming up in a few weeks, my rc inaccuracy has DOUBLED. I used to get from -6 to -8 and for the past two practice tests it's been -12 which is insane and it's freaking me out. As the rest is creeping up the anxiety and pressure is making my scores get even lower, barely past my diagnostic. I'm really panicked and would share any advice anyone has. I need to get 160+ for my dream law school and the last admission date they really consider is november:(. Now I'm just PT-ing low-mid 150s. :( I got 164 end of september but just steady decline since then :(

Is there any live class that focuses heavily on diagramming? This is probably my weakest area that is contributing to missed points for a higher score on the LSAT. In the search box for recorded classes, diagramming is not called out specifically and I do not want to revisit all of the foundations if I do not have to for this.

Thanks in advance/

Looks like a new voting feature was added to video explanations and it broke the "Kevin's version" tab. We can click on the tab but it will only stay on J.Y.'s version. #help #feedback

We launched breaks between sections! When you take a PrepTest, you will now have a 1 minute break between each section and a 10 minute break in between sections 2 and 3. This is what actually happens during your real LSAT administration.

If you’re in Arizona (preferably near the Phoenix area) and down for a study session, drop a reply!

really looking to start a group to study and learn from each other for the lsat!!! maybe we can make a group chat or discord

It appears unlikely that Causal Reasoning is, on average, 22.7% of the LSAT. Is the "Avg. questions per test" metric bugged?

Hi all,

I’ve been studying for the lsat, I took October test which I came out not confident and felt like I bombed it but I also signed up for November as a back up as I want to apply this cycle. However, continuing studying has been tuff it’s like I’m mentally exhausted with the lsat, I tried to drill 10 questions and I’m just so mentally exhausted and keep getting easier questions wrong or not fully in tuned, is this a sign of burnout? What could this be?

When I change my goal from 170 to 175 the analytics completely change on what areas of LR I should prioritizing. Why wouldn't they be the same, except with larger gaps that need to be made up? Is there some underlying metric, like people who get 175 are better at conditional reasoning and Link Assumption, and people who get 170 are better at SA and Parallel Flaw? I guess this is an RRE question, but my percentages there are good, so I should be able to figure this out.

If so, please include drills, sections, and literally any other time we do a question (for ex, in the CC)

It would be really nice to have a feature that allows you to see the class recordings you have started but not finished. It would also be nice if it saved the spot where you left off in the recording

Is there a section in 7Sage Analytics that shows where I’ve improved over time?

I go to school at UF, took the LSAT twice, did horribly and am retaking it in January. I'm from West Palm Beach and visit frequently. Would anyone wanna study in person on online together?? Need the help lol let me know!

Hello,

What is the best philosophy on optional addendum to give context to test scores? I sat the LSAT 4 times (over the course of about 7 months) and obtained the following scores (in order): 168, 169, 168, 169. This was frustrating for me because my practice scores were consistently in the 170s. Is it worth a sentence or two to explain why I sat the LSAT so many times (because my practice tests suggested I could do better?) 

When you finish a drill, solo section, or Preptest, we ask you to predict your score.

What do you think of the feature? Your feedback will help us improve.

Whenever I try to add live classes to my calendar on the new 7sage it redirects me to a download file for apple calendar. I am unfortunately not an apple user and have to use the classic 7sage to then add the classes to my calendar. Is there a method I'm missing or can we have this added?

We're hosting an Open Bar Study Break Mixer on Saturday 10/18 in Midtown Manhattan, immediately following the LSAC law forum. Details are in the graphic below. The event is totally free! RSVP required.

Hey! Not sure if anyone has already posted about this but anyone in the NYC area interested in a study group for the November test?

Hello all. Just finishing the SA question module in the Core Curriculum, and it's kicking my butt. I'm wondering if it's best to basically start it again from the beginning and really try to grok it, or push on and come back later in the hopes that it will make more sense.

Or maybe it's like any new & intense thing: you start out blazing but at some point you hit your first plateau, and you either have to take a break and come back fresh, or just grind through it. Thoughts?

Which answer, if true, most strongly supports the weary student's concerns? :)

Can you/should you use the First Person on argumentative writing? I see they did it for their examples, but I am wondering if that is recommended?
