I started studying for the August 2024 LSAT in January; combo of PTs once a week and essentially the core curriculum (from a local prep company). I was testing pretty consistently around the 160 mark until I started drilling for 4-5 hrs/day on 7sage and BRing, after which I jumped to a 165/166 (first got a 166 at the end of May). Since then, I was testing pretty consistently at that mark for five weeks until randomly two weeks ago I got a 160 (PT84) and last week I got a 159 (PT85) (most of the drop was on LR sections). A lot of things I read online suggested taking a break due to burout (which I've definitely felt), so I took this last week off.

As I jump back into studying this week, I'm just really worried I'm doing something wrong w my test coming up soon. A lot of what I read online last week regarding score drops were for people who had just started the CC and/or had only taken a few practice tests. I've taken 18 full length tests over the last 7 months and drilled hundreds if not thousands of questions outside of tests, so I feel like my situation's a little different. Any suggestions on how to get back to that 165/166 mark / things I should be doing differently? Again, I BR, WAJ, drill, etc.

Thanks in advance!!

I'm not sure what to do, I am planning on taking the September LSAT but I'm not sure ill be able to gauge how ready I am by the registration date. I would do the October LSAT but then I wont be able to see my score before the November registration deadline if I need to take it again. Maybe im not understanding how it works etc. but im just not sure if I should take it in october and then register for november wihtout knowing my score in case i didnt get the score i wanted or register for september but I wont know for certain how ready I am by the time we have to register

Aloha! I had submitted my application last month but through looking in the discussions and my email realized I never got an email and I wasn't signed in to the account, is there anyway someone can see if my application was received.

I am taking the August LSAT, and I have consistently pointed one point lower than my diagnostic-- I think I've taken 6-7 tests. I am on RRE, and I've been taking the course in syllabus order. Should I skip to my weaker sections? Or should I consider a different prep site?

Everyone:

My LSAT journey has finally come to an end and I’ll be attending school this fall (woo hoo)! Before life gets busy again, I’d love to pass on my preparation materials.

If you’re interested, please reach out

Hi Guys,

Do you know if the LSAT is compatible with the macOS Sonoma update? I have been holding off on updating my laptop for a while now and just wanted to see before I do so.

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to discuss this question, as it seems there's no explanation available on 7sage. That should be rectified, as this is a very tricky and unconventional question which therefore warrants a thorough explanation.

In the mean time, I'll give it a shot:

The question stem here seems to be, "Which one of the answer choices will fully justify (or make must be true) one of the two question options, definitively?"

It's an odd question in that it doesn't ask you to justify approach A or approach B -- it instead asks you to identify a principle that will make EITHER ONE OF A or B must be true, whilst simultanouesly making either B or A must be false -- all based on the stimulus information.

So far as I can tell, (B) is the only one that does this with that level of certainty. It says that, based on the stim information available, the renovation was correct while the demolition camp was incorrect.

Unusual, difficult question.

Hi! I have an accommodation to have the experimental section removed from the test all together. Is there any way to adjust PTs on 7Sage to reflect not having the experimental section?

Looking to see if there are any other lgbt+ folks in EST who would be interested in a study buddy?

Last take for me was 164, and I’m shooting for 170. It’d be great to also meet folx with similar score goals, but not required.

PS: happy late pride!

Hello, I usually drill 2 reading passages a day using the 7sage virtual tutor to pick. I am now done with all my clean passages but when I go to "particular tags" I still have 128 clean passages left. Does that mean I need to start picking from that only if I'm to read passages I haven't read? Why can't 7sage just give me any of those passages to take?

Thanks!

While going over the formal Lawgic section, I was thinking about what questions type do we use formal Lawgic? For example, is it in Sufficient assumption questions, Flawed, etc.? IDK help?? I would like to look at some questions and try to use formal Lawgic.

I read online that Ctrl+F was replaced by a new search feature. Is this true? If so, are there any notable limitations to its replacement, such as character count? What will the new search feature look like? Is there a way I can try it out prior to my official LSAT?

In my freshman year of college, during the first week, I received a citation for underage drinking and a code of conduct violation from my school for the same incident. Although I hired a lawyer, went to court, and successfully got the charge dropped and expunged from my permanent record, I am still required to disclose both the code of conduct violation and the citation to schools. Has anyone had experience with a similar situation? Im afraid top schools will view me negatively due to these actions.

Looking for a few study partners, can be from anywhere, as I prefer zoom (I plan to take the LSAT in October 2024).

Maybe I'm being extra hard on myself but just the Core Curriculum is taking forever! It's taken me 2 months of full time studying.

I'm spending the time to truly absorb everything though which I already am seeing a payoff when intuitively understanding the questions and getting them right.

How long did it take you guys to get through the foundations, Logical Reasoning, and Reading Comp? This is for the new format without Logic Games.

I'm taking the test in Oct/Nov so want to make sure I give enough time to drill the crap out of everything and do tons of PTs.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hey everyone! Looking to form a study group for the August LSAT, so focusing mainly on LR/RC. Planning on doing practice tests/sections, reviewing wrong questions, etc. Currently practice testing at around 157-160, goal is 165-170+. Let me know if you're interested!

When it comes to LR, I've noticed that I tend to get the higher difficulty questions wrong. I feel as though I have a solid fundamental understanding of the concepts, question types, and methods of thinking, though I still consistently get the more difficult ones wrong. I know it may be a bit ironic since that is the point of higher difficulty questions, though I would like to be able to conquer them before my August LSAT. Any tips?

I tried to use the strategy of flagging questions that I am not 100% sure, but I couldn't find the flag button for the 7sage practice tests. Could someone please help an apparently blind man?

As I've been taking practice LR sections, I've noticed that my range of wrong answers varies drastically. I don't struggle with any particular question type or difficulty level, so I'm not sure how to improve my score. For example, I will get like 8 questions wrong, each in a different category, ranging from 5/5 difficulty to 2/5 difficulty. Is it just a matter of practice? Please help! :)

I took PT 132 recently and did really well on everything except the experimental section. On the regular RC section I only missed 2, but on the experimental RC I missed 10. Should I spend as much time reviewing the experimental questions as I would if I missed regular questions? I don't want to waste study time if the exp questions are always changed or aren't indicative of regular answer patterns, etc.

Hi everyone! I have completed the 7sage curriculum and have been drilling for a little over 2 weeks, but I am still averaging -9 on all my LR sections. I have been studying for the LSAT since May 1st and the only other resource I have used is The LSAT Trainer. I would like to get my hands on The Loophole by Ellen Cassidy but I cannot find it anywhere online. I plan to take my LSAT in September and my goal score is 165.

In terms of question types, I struggle with MBT, weakening, and necessary assumptions. I believe that I need to review the foundations of conditional logic but the core curriculum lessons aren't really helping. If anyone could briefly explain with an example how conditional logic works that would be greatly appreciated!

It is becoming increasingly frustrating not seeing results and I was wondering if anyone had any external resources or tips on how to finally break through in my studies. I would also appreciate any advice on how to stay focused throughout an entire test without getting sidetracked as I find myself taking substantially longer on questions near the end of a section.

I'll be taking my first LSAT in August, and I plan on taking it in-person. I was wondering how the conditions are like?

Also, is it true that the in-person centres use computers and the same interface as remote test takers? I just want to make sure this is the case, as I've never done a PT on paper and don't want to

Hello! I have already secured the LoRs for the upcoming application cycle. Do we need to wait until the cycle begins to enter recommender information and ask them to upload letters? Or can the recommenders upload the letters now, and the letters can be used in the upcoming cycle? Thank you!

I currently attend a very small (~1,500 students) relatively unknown liberal arts college in Kentucky, and I'm wondering how admissions counselors at large, out-of-state law schools will view me because of it. My college is too small to have enough data for LSAC to calculate LSAT and GPA distributions/averages, so admissions counselors may have less data to compare me with in my file.

Hey guys! What are the odds that the optional essays listed for each school on 7sage will change from last cycle to this upcoming cycle? Is it worth it to go ahead and write out responses to them for my top schools to allow me to apply as soon as the application opens or are they likely to change significantly? (Ex: Duke's short answer essay list) Thanks!
