I’m currently scoring in the 140s and looking for a study buddy from 7Sage who is scoring around the same range to do some LR questions together. Ideally, it would be great to find someone who enjoys learning verbally so we can discuss and process thoughts together. If you’re interested, please leave a comment or DM me! I’m in the PST time zone and usually available either in the morning or after 6 pm. Thank you!

Beyond happy to be done 🥳

Took my first diagnostic in October of 2023 - roughly 1 whole year before I took the October exam a couple weeks ago.

Though 146 was my lowest, I've scored PTs in the 150s and a 180 and everything in between. I just wanted to give hope to those of you with low diagnostics that a 170+ is possible with proper study and hard work and to remind those of you still on your LSAT journey that progress is not linear and is rarely ever truly consistent.

Thanks a ton to 7Sage and to JY for all the explanations, the drilling app, and the analytics UI. Couldn't have done it without you guys.

I'm a non-URM with a 4.0 and a 172. PT average about the same with a few (recent) scores between 174 and 177. Is it worth taking again in November? My top choices are Michigan and Northwestern.

For the last sentence of the stimulus, since we use the contrapositive, wouldn't it be "requests cancellation beforehand OR in writing"?

Hey all,

Lookin for anyone who's in the Atlanta area looking to start a study group. I've been scoring in the 150s, but looking to break into the one 160s by Jan. Hit me up if interested!

Hey all! Just out of curiosity, where is everyone planning to apply and why? My top choice is University of South Carolina since I want to live there and the law school facilities themselves and faculty are amazing. But I went undergrad at University of Kentucky so I will be applying there too, as well as FSU since I am a Florida native and want to keep my options open. If anyone was looking at going to UK and has questions about the school or Lexington in general, or if you're like me and want to go to USC, feel free to reach out and DM me!

my biggest problem is that i rush through questions and this results in me picking the most attractive wrong answers. answer advice on how to stay patient and thoroughly consider every answer choice?

So many times when I am reviewing what I got wrong, I look back at the question and I'm like why the hell did I choose that question. Why does this keep happening.

Also, most times I end up choosing the second best answer and how can I fix this.

I feel like I am understanding the test better, but somehow I also do well on the experimental section of the test and bomb one of the scored sections. Also, my LR scores on my last practice test varied from 4 incorrect to 11 incorrect.

Is anyone else having this problem??

ANY advice for this issue?

Hey y'all, I am thinking of writing an addenda about a family emergency I experienced earlier this year (I will write a bit more below). Additionally, should we but trigger warnings if we discuss heavier topics? With that I will put a TW: Suicide Attempt for what I am going to continue to mention down below:

My brother's SA was a couple months ago as I was getting ready to start studying for the LSAT. Of course I delayed it to be with my brother and family but it deeply impacted me (and honestly still does). I have been formally diagnosed with some conditions because of this and although I have been able to study, it has been hard. Should I write about this in an addenda? If so, would it be appropriate of me to put a trigger warning? Thank you in advance for any replies (3(/p)

Has anyone had issues scheduling their test for November 2024. I tried last week when the window opened and withing 30 minutes all the dates were taken. Now LSAC says they will request more dates, but they can't guaranteed that every student will get a time slot.

PS. MCAT dropped prometric in 2017. Why would LSAC hire such a horrible company? They are know for being unreliable.

If you'll are having issues, what are you'll doing?

I have emailed everyone in LSAC called every office and no one gives a solution. They can't give me a report # all they said is that their supervisors would contact me. The emails have all been BS responses with a "we wish good luck on your test". From what I have been told if Prometric can't accommodate us, we would need to reschedule to January test. This is a big no for two reasons:

Here are some pointers that are installed into my brain but they may or may not come out the way I intend them to. First, be able to understand which questions are hard and which questions are easy. Usually, reading the stimulus and the question number itself (ex: 1-13), I can usually assume it will be a relatively quick question. So during these, I read the stimulus and understand the task that I must complete. Then I go to the questions and answer quickly, not giving much time at all to answer choices (instead of trying to reason with each answer choice, I quickly eliminate each choice that isn't 100% correct). Building a habit is what enables this for me, through a series of practice, I can understand/read the stimulus and know what the answer should sound like about 90% of the time, at least on the easy questions. Then on the harder questions (15-20), I usually take a little bit more time, I understand the patterns and by the time I go into the questions, once again through repetitive practice and habit I will be able to have an idea of the correct answer, but usually these harder questions have two answer choices that work with what I built. From there, I decide which answer is most strict to the stimulus, not which answer overall has the most profound and "reasonable in the real world" answer, but which answer applies MOST to the stimulus. Then for the hardest questions (20-27), I know that these are created to be hard, so the answer choices that answer it as if they are the questions within 1-13, I usually assume are wrong because it is meant to blind others from further thought and reasoning with other questions. I can usually scratch out 2 answers like this and also scratch out 1 answer choice that is meant to sound overly "smart" (such as a choice with profound wording and definitions that are within our syllabus, like "the justification of the commerce trader is appealing to a kind, that unlike the kind within the stimulus, is unreasonable with further efforts", basically just a string of random and confusing texts.) Remaining with two answers, I would usually pick the answer choice that I believe COULD work, however, after further practice I now understand that these answer choices are also usually meant to make us over assume, which leads to an incorrect answer. So I have begun choosing the 1 of the 2 answer choices, that although don't sound AS reasonable as the latter, need less assumptions/ or no assumptions at all to take place in order for that answer to be correct against the stimulus, even if this answer choice isn't as strong as the other would be, it is still stronger in face value because it does not need extra assumptions to take place. Once again, I don't know if this information is accurately written down as it is in my head but the main tip I am getting at is that you must practice and get used to the question types that will be persistently used AND remember that this is a test made by a human, so this human will try to use certain techniques to make you miss questions, try to combat these techniques, that are primarily used in the hardest questions, by remembering past techniques used.

Hi I was wondering if someone can give examples, and ways to tell a difference between the two argument structures, and how to tell them apart in a stimulus.

Premise: B Conclusion: A -> C (missing assumption: B -> C)

versus

Premise: A Conclusion: B->C (missing assumption: A-B).

Is anyone else not being let into the zoom for the in-person proctor PT today? I’ve been here since 12:50.

Does anyone have any recommendations on good hotels to take the LSAT flex in LA and/or Vegas that are affordable and not noisy?

I am trying to figure out whether or not I should cancel my October LSAT. Sadly I scored one point lower than I did on my June exam. Since it is only one point, should I let it be or should I cancel it since it is a lower score and I really only want to show my best score?

I've heard you should not apply after holidays because of scholarships and acceptance chances. Curious what others think if I get in the 160s for January LSAT and apply in February for Fall 2023 class. At that point should I wait to apply earlier next year for the Fall 2024 class?

Paid for LawHub, and paid for 7Sage. But cannot access any tests on 7Sage.

Hi! I am taking the LSAT in November and want to find someone to hop on a call of some sort to run through some of the more difficult LR questions because that is where I need the most improvement. I also want to find someone who is still in the process of applying to law school who can help make me be less stressed about getting everything right lol. I am in the eastern time zone and live in Lexington, KY. My availability is PM and Saturdays since I work full time currently. DM me if you're interested!

I am not getting the score I want, and I plan to take the November LSAT. Should I wait and take the January LSAT to have more time to study? I have read that I will have lower chances of getting scholarships and admission because many schools are rolling admissions. However, wouldn't a lower score versus a higher score also give me fewer scholarship opportunities?

I took the September LSAT and got a 154. Then I got a 150 on the October LSAT. Should i cancel the October LSAT score? Please let me know because I am super conflicted.

Can I get better at inference, MBT, MBF, MSS questions through doing the LG core curriculum? It seems LG is all inferences and I would say these types of questions are consistently my biggest time sucks and it's not even close.
