7Sage timer shows error and stops itself sometimes without my knowledge while I am taking a PT, which throws off my time completely. How would you recommend me to time myself with using an analog watch or another timer? For example, when should I give myself a break? After the section 2? Should I account for the essay part? 7Sage PTs are all 4 sections with an essay, unlike the real test, which would have 5 sections...what should I do about that since I only have access to 4 sections PTs... such as what should I do with timing myself with breaks for 4 sections?

Also, I remember there was a previous discussion on whether if it's ok to bring in 3 analog watches in the test room, and set them all to 12, and press start each time the section starts. Is this ok, or LSAC only allows one watch?

As the test date approaches, I'm trying to study and improve as quickly as possible. I'm still making mistakes in the law and science related passages of RC. I've already been reading a lot of science sites/magazines, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Any recommendations would be immensely appreciated! :)

Hi! So Sept test day is in 2 weeks. my last 4 PTs (5 sections and simulated conditions) have been 158, 154, 159, 155. (Started at a 138 diag so I am happy to have made these strides but I am aware these scores are still not enough) I have about 5 more PTs to take ( 2 weeks out: Tues, Thurs, Sat, Week of LSAT: Mon, Wed). Any suggestions on the next two weeks? I think at this point it will be sheer luck if I get a 160 since my PT average is floating in the upper 150s, but if theres any advice ill take it. My games section ranges from -4 to -2. LR is about -7 to -10 per section and RC is literally a toss up but usually -12 to -10 (I only am able to finish 3 passages).

Maybe only take 4 PTs and drill more?

Has anyone bought and tried the personal statement bundle? I was curious as to what it consists of and what people thought of it?

I've been studying for the LSAT for about 2 months now. I started off at 146 and now I am around 157/158. Occasionally I drop down to a 155. In the recent PTs I've been stuck in this same score range (156-159). My reading section continues to be relatively low, I usually get -9. My goal is to get a 165. I am thinking of signing up for the 7sage course. Do you think if I continue studying and add the course, my course would increase? It's frustrating because I have been studying every day usually about from 9am-5pm. What is your advice on moving up when stuck in the same score range? Any tactics? And do you think raising my score to 165 is feasible. Thank you in advance!

I can open the PDF docs on my iphone but not on my tablet. It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Is there something I need to do, or is the tablet just not capable of opening the docs? Anybody know?

I really need some help with RC. I'm consistently scoring where I need to with LG and LR and can pretty much guess my scores at the end of those three sections after a PT but my RC is all over the board. I've gotten anywhere from a -4 all the way to a -13 and I can't really sum it up to anything specific. All of the times it will be something where I've narrowed it down to two wrong MP questions and pick the wrong one, or something like that. As I test I don't feel like I'm guessing and I seem to more or less understand the information/questions. I have tried a variety of different methods to get a better score but nothing seems to stick. More or less I just give it my best shot, roll the dice and hope that it is a good score. What have you guys done to score consistently in the high teens (where I need to get my target score) and not miss more then a -8 or -9 on a section? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I really need help with Reading comp, I have tried everything and I still average 15 Mistakes, anyone who consistently gets 0-5 wrong can you provide any tips for the next 2 weeks.

Thanks

I have two weeks left, and logic games are by far my worst section. I know they are easy to make great improvements in, but I really feel stuck. All of the games seem different to me, and it's very hard for me to make inferences in a time efficient manner. Are there any tips you all have? Do you also have a set of games organized by category that I should memorize to improve my skills. This is very frustrating, and I just feel like I can't progress.

Wondering if the test actually starts at closer to 9 ie 20 to 30 minutes to take attendance and fill out forms.

Does anyone know?

I'm debating whether to get up at 7 or 630 cuz I want sleep but want the 2 hours for my brain to be fully alert.

Are there explanations for the LRs from Test 33 on this website?

Ok so basic dream of mine is I been passionately wanting to go to Notre Dame for Intellectual Property law and I have taken the LSAT already and didn't even come close their median which is 162. I will be taking it the second time around in Feburary and lets just say I only get in the higher 150's. With my background and everything else I've done in college and the community would it be plausible to still maybe make it in? I've interned at a law firm of whom the attorney is a Harvard law alumni, I've served in the local State Senate and made quite a few connections there, as well as affiliated with a Catholic Fraternity known as the Knights of Columbus who serve the Catholic churches of my community. I also was Vice President for Phi-Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity in my undergrad years with an ending GPA of 3.36 (Notre Dame median: 3.4). So with all these great recommendations I have in my corner and being honest with myself and how I am at test, Im not the greatest, but in all honesty I don't see how its still not feasible to make it into where you want to go especially with this kinda background. Considering that I'm male of Mexican American descent who comes from a single parent household there has to be someway to get in, I would really enjoy any feedback and advice. I take all criticisms at face value. Thank you

So in my mind I attack NA questions pretty methodically: negating each answer choice and determining which one wrecks the argument, while also taking into consideration the bridge and shield types of assumptions that I learned about here (and the powerscore lessons too for that matter). I'm still fucking up. I've corrected my earlier mistake, where I tended to conflate SA and NA questions, but I'm still missing a significant number. Is anyone else having this problem? Any advice?

I am getting really frustrated and it is because my full time job has recently been brutal (ridiculously stressful). My job is directly affecting my studying in the last month. It just drains me and I cannot concentrate. This has destroyed my confidence for the September test. I was on my way to getting the score I wanted, but lately I have been bombing everything. After I leave work I am just mentally drained; I can't make inferences for LG, I forget the stimulus, and reading comp has been terrible. Thinking of canceling my September test, but it bums me out since I was at the score I wanted. It feels like I am burnt out, but not because of the LSAT, but because of WORK.

Any advice would be great. If anyone can relate or has any useful tips.

Hello,

I find that I really struggle with Humanities/Diversity passage types. Especially when they talk about a particular author/artist...

I usually score -1 or -2 on all other passage types, but these tend to give me the most difficulty, getting up to 3-5 questions wrong per passage...

Anyone else have/had this problem?

Any hints on how to improve on these passage types?

I want to be able to enter a discount code before I purchase an upgrade for a course, but there is no field to do so. I don't want to hit 'Purchase' until I see my discount applied. Any suggestions?

Hi

I purchased Ultimate back in January - one of the best decisions I made for my prep.

I am coming to the end of my LSAT career (fingers crossed), and I do not have tests 69-72 which I want to take before the September test.

My question is, do I have to pay $30 each ($120 total) for these tests? Even though I purchased Ultimate ($500+) close to 9 months ago. Seems like a lot for 4 tests.

Can anyone help explain how I should translate the stimulus?

I understand why E is the correct answer, but I would love to solidify why this answer choice is 100% correct.

Thanks in advance!

So I was reading through a Kaplan LR practice book (which I found mostly useless) the other day and came across a certain strategy that they suggest for attacking Logical Reasoning sections on the exam.

They suggest that you should do questions 1-17, and then turn to the end of the section and complete questions 26-18 backwards. The logic behind it is that there are easier questions hidden at the end of the sections to reward those who make it the entire way through, so you want to get those easy points.

Does anyone actually use this strategy or have any opinion on it? I know that there are sometimes easy questions towards the end of LR sections, but questions 20-26 also tend to have a few of the most difficult as well. I also thought that this may increase my chances at f*&#ing up the bubbling on my answer sheet.

This might be a really obvious question, but: if a given LSAT has a less rigorous section, is it usually compensated by a very difficult section of another type? I find that when games are easy, reading comp is a lot harder.

I need a 160. I got a 147. My last test I got a 152 ( about 3 weeks ago though ). Maybe my score is a couple of points lower than it was before i even began studying at all because I took the test so late in the day and my mind was already kind of scatter-brained.

Nevertheless,

I just bombed the test.

I have 6-7 more tests scheduled before the sept 27 test ( maybe 8 tests )

Anyone experienced gains in such a time frame..with such a score? Good lord lol.

When I grade my test from one of the preptest books I know which ones I got wrong, but it'd be nice to see his explanations too

Hi guys - I've been having wildly varying scores in my RC sections during my PTs. I go from 25-26/27 and can drop to 18-19/27 on a bad day. Not sure what's going on here, especially given that my LR & LG scores are consistently where I need them to be. Any insight/tips would be appreciated. RC is killing me!

Does anyone have any advice for improving my logic games score as quickly as possible? I'm happy with my reading comp and LR scores at the moment, but have found improving in games to be a slow struggle. I've been using JY's method, but with only two weeks left, I'm still only consistently finishing about 3/4 games in 35 minutes. Any advice would be much appreciated!

My course expires tomorrow and I'm trying to extend my course, but it says I do not have a full course and to either purchase a full course or log-in. I am logged in. I log-in again anyway... but it still says the same thing. If I purchase the extension is it going to properly credit my account? I don't want to loose my materials.
