For months, I had been scoring consistently relatively well on practice tests, taking two tests a week, but for the past two weeks I have been scoring about 5 points worse despite maintaining the same study practices. The other day I hit a score that was the same as my diagnostic test and today, even though I felt much better about it, was almost the same. I take the test in less than two weeks. What do I do?

Hey all! I have been studying for a few months now and take my test here in October. I am SO close to a breakthrough but my issue is… on so many LR questions I am stuck between 2 answer choices. I choose one thinking it right and then it’s the other one that I thought about. I keep making the same mistake but I can’t seem to shake it. I feel like I review well and I know what I’m doing wrong but obviously I don’t if I keep choosing the wrong answer out of the 2 I think. Any tips or recommendations??

Hi, so I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between pseudo sufficient assumption - find the rule, questions versus principle questions? and if you can tell me how you identify the question type from one another please??

Thankyouuu in advance!.

I hit my goal score of 168 with a BR score of 174. I have only taken 5 PTs so far that have only trended upwards, previous PT score was a 160 with a BR score of 166. I understand I still have many weeks to keep studying but I do have midterms on the two weeks leading up. My anxiety for whatever reason is higher than ever, I don't have a real average of PT scores because I have only taken 5 PT that have only had upward trends after each. I do believe my ceiling is higher than what I scored but I want to make sure im consistent. My plan is to drill LR and RC for the first half of each week and take a PT at the end of each week, is this a good plan? Any tips for handling anxiety especially with my case? I really hope it was not a fluke.

How many level 5 questions are expected? How many level 1s? What is the general distribution?

Do the tougher questions appear at the later part of the test?

An easy willingness to tell funny stories or jokes about oneself is the surest mark of supreme self-confidence. This willingness, often not acquired until late in life, is even more revealing than is good-natured acquiescence in having others poke fun at one.

Which one of the following inferences is most supported by the statements above?

A A person who lacks self-confidence will enjoy neither telling nor hearing funny stories about himself or herself.

B People with high self-confidence do not tell funny stories or jokes about others.

C Highly self-confident people tell funny stories and jokes in order to let their audience know that they are self-

confident.

D Most people would rather tell a funny story or a joke than listen to one being told.

E Telling funny stories or jokes about people in their presence is a way of expressing one's respect for them.

I can understand how A is correct in that it completes the pre-phrase "a person who exhibits confidence will enjoy telling and hearing funny stories about themselves". However, I got rid of A because I assumed that they are not discussing the correct group that was discussed in the stimulus. It's a pattern and common wrong answer choice l've seen in other question type, where they are discussing the wrong group in the answer choices to trap you. For example, if the stimulus discusses only the group in a survey who love cheese. Then the wrong answer choice will try to trick the test taker and talk about those who do not love cheese. And that is where you are supposed to catch that and say " the stimulus only talks about the group who do love cheese not those who do not, therefore not needed for the argument. I don't understand why that doesn't apply here? If I were to do a fact check test and use the stimulus to support the answer, nowhere does it discuss a person who lacks self confidence or what makes a person not confident" . It only talks about what makes a person confident, not what doesn't make them confident. So would it be fair when approaching future questions to assume that if they are talking about a different group it could still be correct?

Hi everyone! I am currently studying for the November LSAT and possibly the January LSAT as well. I am looking for study buddies, but also providing a forum where people can ask questions, express frustrations, and interact with like minded individuals. My discord has been giving me trouble, and frankly, I am not on it very much. I was thinking maybe an instagram group chat? If you are interested my instagram is @ anastasiaaabeee , dm me saying "study group" so I know to add you to the group chat!!

Hello everyone! (: I just finished Foundations -> Argument module and I want to quiz/test myself on what I learned. Is there a quiz or a tool on 7Sage that focuses on quizzing for the argument module?

Hi everyone, I'm looking to create a study group for the upcoming LSATs. Whether you are planning to take it in October, November, or in January. I want to have a supportive group where we drill together and share our experiences/tips we have all gathered so far. The process of navigating LSAT prep material and the law school process over all can feel isolating and scary. If anyone is in the same boat or is just looking for a place to vent lol, drop your discords and I can make a chat.

I have been studying since June full time and have been doing pretty well. My highest PT which was only about 3 weeks ago was a 160 which is what I am aiming to get for the real thing. However I am now seeing a huge decline in my scores and I am getting -8 and -11 on sections that I typically get -5. I am getting really stressed and discouraged considering the October test is in 2 weeks. I am also registered for November so i just don't know what I'm doing wrong and what to do about it now. Also , is it bad that I am going to take october and november back to back? Should i change my october test date to november and then take november and january instead? im getting overwhelmed.

Currently studying full-time so my schedule is open and free. Just started studying a few weeks ago. I have an LSAT tutor and just hoping to work with a study buddy or form a group.

My discord is (grumpykitten9)

I am planning on taking it within 2-3 months.

In the tri-state area (NYC EST) happy to work with anyone in any area

scores come out a week from today and i can't stop stressing about it. i genuinely do not know what to expect which is a little scary because i'm also registered to take the october test and i don't know how much studying i should be doing before i know if i got a score that would be good enough to withdraw from october. how is everyone else feeling? what are you doing to calm nerves in the next week? is anyone else in the same boat with the october test?

Hello!

I have been PTing at 150 for the past 3 months despite studying an average of 4 hours a day drilling specific question types, doing sections of LR and RC and then blind reviewing every question and then inserting them into my wrong answer journal. Recently I took a completely untimed PT where I allowed myself to think through each question and didn't move on until I was 100% sure the AC I picked was correct. On that PT I scored the highest I've ever scored a 156, however I know I can do better, but I'm taking the October LSAT. It's clear that extra time would be extremely beneficial to me as especially with RC I need to take longer on the passages in order to understand what is being said.

Does anyone have any time strategy suggestions that can hopefully help me actually score closer to my potential by October? Or should I just accept that I will most likely score a 150 and retake it in January?

Thank you!

I am having trouble with the lawgic. My take away was:

WD m→ feature art

/comfortable→/WD

comfortable→SI

My thoughts for chaining...

contrapose comfortable→SI to become /SI→/comfortable

Therefore the chain...

/SI→/comfortable→/WD

So if /WD then... /WD m→/feature art

Can someone please explain why this is incorrect?

I appreciate the help!

Hi friends! I need some advice on how to improve my RC section. While I feel confident in LR, I am scoring much lower on RC, missing about 10 or 12 questions per RC section. I am scoring about 158/159 overall, and all I want is to score a 160.

My issue with RC is when I try to do low-res summaries, I run out of time. But when I try to read quicker, I forget passage details. When it comes to questions I missed, I always review and understand why I missed the question, but still end up missing similar questions on my next PT. Another issue is that I have a hard time getting through all four passages.

I feel stuck and not sure where to go from here. Even some kind words would be appreciated! Oh, and by the way, I am registered for the October LSAT. Am I doomed?

I work full time and I am looking for someone who can help me grasp LR and RC. I didn't do too great on the August LSAT so I am trying to change my study approach.

As an international student from Ghana, I am having difficulties concentrating for more than an hour when taking PTs. I don't know how to resolve this, as I am registered to write the October LSAT and I don't feel prepared enough. If anyone here can help me with some useful tips on how to study better and maybe help me with study groups.

My time zone is GMT +00, I am available at any time and ready to put in the work to get my desired score please. Help a sister out ;(

Does anyone know a good estimate of how long the writing sample takes to process? I took the September LSAT, and had a lot of unexpected things happen in the time following the test, hindering me from completing the writing sample. I am wondering how long it takes for the writing sample to process. Do you think if I take it tomorrow, Wednesday 9/18, it will process before the score release date for September?

Looking for anyone that may have an old copy or extra copy of the Loophole that they are willing to sell. Will pay for shipping costs etc! Would really like to get my hands on this if possible so let me know!

Thanks in advance

Hi, if anyone is interested in meeting online/in person in the NOLA area to study lmk! I am taking the Nov LSAT and work full time.

Hi I recently got diagnosed with ADHD and was wondering if any fellow 7sagers with ADHD would like to make a group chat to help support each other with study tips as well as motivation. If you are interested here is the link feel free to join https://groupme.com/join_group/103411020/XGK5DR7Y

I have 1.5x time accommodations for the LSAT. I took the LSAT test on paper with a scantron. I am scheduled to do the writing portion soon. I got scheduled for a paper and pencil writing exam. Obviously I would much rather type because it is way faster.

So my question is: Does having accommodations for the LSAT require me to taking the writing portion on paper, or do others with accommodations take it similar to lawhub style (typing)?

As the title said i am only breaking into the 170s when i take the 130s? i am in the 165-168 range in other tests, does anyone have any idea why this could be ?

As someone with ADHD something I often run into is self doubt. It can be in any situation but for me schooling was a place it came up often. As the LSAT is a test designed to make even a confident person second guess themselves, how do people go about trying to study with a voice of self doubt in your head?

Basically just above, my end goal is low 170s so not a big difference but I'm having a hard time getting even 168 or 169. There's no pattern to my wrong answers so I'm just looking for advice from people who were in my position at one time.
