Hi all I was hoping I'd crush PT74 with the +50% accommodations box ticked as I was recently approved for accommodations. I found some very interesting points:

For RC and LR questions that took me over 3:00, I got 3/11 correct. That's 27% of getting a question right if I'm going past the 3:00 mark; I think this shows there's a fundamental problem going on for that question that I'm just not gonna figure out, so guess and move on basically, don't waste time and energy.

RC and LR questions from 2:00-3:00 I got 10/14 right which is 71% accuracy.

RC and LR questions from 1:30 - 2:00 I got 9/12 which is 75% right.

RC and LR questions that took 1:00 - 1:30 I had 86% accuracy, getting 25/29 questions right.

Alarmingly, for questions that took less than 1:00 on LR and RC, I had 100% accuracy, getting 16/16 right.

What's going on for LR and RC is I basically knew the answer fast or not at all. More time doesn't didn't mean significantly more accuracy for me.

For LG: oddly the results were not the same at all for answering fast. As a caveat, I do consistently go -0 to -2/3 with more time, on one game in particular I got 3 wrong in a row which is not usual for me.

(1:00, I got 70% 7/10 right

1:00 - 1:30, I got 87% 7/8 right

1:30 - 2:00 1/1 questions right(/p)

2:00 75% 3/4 right

For LG I missed 5 questions total and 60% of those incorrect answers took me less than a minute to get wrong. My takeaway from this would be don't rush, with extra time focus more on POE, and I need to keep foolproofing. What's especially odd is generally if you make a fundamental mistake you end up coming across an LG question where things just don't feel right, or you can POE all the answers, indicating you made a mistake in setup or rules. That didn't happen here so I need to find out what went on.

This is a sample size of only 1 test so take this with a grain of salt. Hope you enjoyed the read

Hi,

I wanna discuss the approach to this question.

I picked the right answer but I spend too muhc time on this one.

When I first looked at it, because of "based on the passage", I thought this is not a inference type of question but more like an "strict evidence/text-referencing" question. Unfortunately to me, there is no direct explaination about what's the retributive nature, so I have to use my back-up plan, which is POE and I was left with B.

So my question is: which part of the question stem can lead us to think that this is a inference question? If you could share your approach on this question, I would very appreciate it!

Thanks.

I took the June LSAT a week after my grandfather passed away. The week leading up to the exam was one of the most emotionally draining/stressful weeks I've experienced to date. I ended up scoring 3 points short on my PT average/goal score, but also 3 points higher than my take in November. I've decided to take the September test. Any advice on getting back into the groove after a month off? I'm planning on taking 1 PT/week and BRing during the week while working full time.

Targeting a summer/early fall exam date. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

Hi,

I understand why B here is right, but I have trouble understanding why D is completely wrong. After all, couldn't "some" footprints include the footprints that Dr. Tyson is looking at, and couldn't missing a feature of the original footprint lead to a huge change in how the footprint is interpreted?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey everyone

I'm planning on retaking the LSAT in June after getting a 165 in February. I could do Skype if that works for you, and my schedule is wide open. Please let me know if you're interested!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share my experience with the admissions and writing consulting services at 7Sage. Working with both Daniel Ryu (writer) and Jennifer Kott (Admissions Officer) was a great experience. They were not only knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process, but were also very responsive to all my questions and emails.

While working on the written portions of my application, Daniel was always willing to meet with me through video meetings about once a week and provided great feedback on my work, which allowed me to improve it. Jennifer was equally helpful, answering my questions about the admissions process both during our video session and through email. She helped shed light on some concerns and questions I had about law school and the admissions process, and I greatly appreciated her dedication to help, answer my questions, and reply to emails in a timely manner.

If I had to go through the admissions process all over again, I would absolutely choose 7Sage, their writers, and admissions experts to help me with the application process. Their support was excellent, and I couldn’t recommend them more.

Hi - I know I'm late to the game, but I'm looking to join a group studying for June, August, or both--I'm currently registered for both administrations. Goal is 170+ like many of us here. Let me know if you have a group and can add me, thanks!

Hi fellow students! I'm a bit confused about the question listed above. I picked A, because I thought this would reconcile the issue with sample size. But the correct answer is C, and I don't really understand why... couldn't the percentages refer to different groups of people? So why would it matter that they're almost the same?

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

So Ive been taking preptests and I seem to be stuck getting -1/-5 on LR. ITS DRIVING ME INSANE. I cant seem to get a perfect score on this section and was wondering how some y'all are studying for LR or how you went about drastically reducing the number of LR questions you get wrong?

I'm not seeing a place to sign up for the test on my LSAC account. Is registration open?

Hi guys,

It's yo boy, coming here on the forums to type up some help for LR.

I was doing the LR, and then I discovered that I suck at one thing.

That one thing is literally that I seem to always miss around -3-4, no matter what. BR is around -0--2.

How do I refine my mistakes?

The questions I miss nowadays are usually strengthen, weaken, and passages with abstract wording/abstractly worded answer choices. (Usually, the questions I miss are the most "difficult" ones that many other people seem to miss.)

Anyone got any advice?

I'm taking September so I ultra-appreciate it.

Hi! Does anyone have a sense of how LSAC distributes difficulty of sections/passages? I'm usually quite consistent across sections with my scores, but occasionally, a really hard (4 or 5 star) RC or LR section will land me -6 or more. Some exams might have one and some seem to not. Do they take this into account with the curves? Just curious what people's sense is.

I need a tutor to improve my LSAT.Thanks !

Hi guys! Anyone wanna exchange Diversity Statements?

I've got mine fleshed out but am concerned it's an unconventional format (reads like a Personal Statement) and would tbh love to collaborate with others on theirs!

Send me a DM if you're interested!

I was down to A and C, and the answer is A, but I chose C.

I'm having a difficult time understanding why A is the answer and C is wrong.

I mean I thought both could be answers.

Can someone please explain me?

Thanks!

I recently moved my test date to April, does that mean I have to pay for score preview again or does it transfer to my current April test?

Hi all,

I just finished the MSS section and didn't do poorly, but didn't get complete 5/5 on most problem sets. Should one continue to work on these questions before moving on to another section? I don't want to rush through material if I am not solid in other areas. Any guidance would be appreciated!

I am hoping for advice on choosing what degree to finish undergrad. I’m a non traditional student, I just took the April LSAT and I have a few options for completing undergrad in a year in order to apply next year. I’m in Texas and a Bachelors degree is required. Does anyone know if a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science would be considered or if it would make me a ‘lesser’ candidate?

I don't know if this is common, but I have seen great improvements in logic games especially, now averaging around a minus 2, and similar (but not as extreme) increases in LR. Oddly enough though my RC has been dropping and I find myself more confused than ever.

During my senior year in undergrad, I was reported for academic dishonesty (plagiarism). I previously had a class with the professor that reported me and I got an A in his class, which is why I was surprised that he thought I plagiarized. The professor said it was a minor case of plagiarism because I did not paraphrase adequately in certain parts of my final essay. I met with the dean and I ultimately admitted to plagiarism and I got a deferred suspension (which is just fancy language for a warning). The dean said that I had to attend an avoiding plagiarism workshop before graduation so that's what I did. I asked the dean if something like this would appear on my transcript and she said that UCLA (the uni I attended) does not make a notation on the transcript but it holds a separate records that are confidential. She said the records would not be released to law schools without their request and my authorization. I ultimately got an A- in that class.

So what should I do? Does attending a workshop like this count as disciplinary action? Is a warning all that bad? And will law schools see that something like this happened through the LSAC CAS report?

Hi guys, I am just starting out I finished the argument section under foundation but I need to know when I should start to do actual practice tests... Because I am only learning but not experiencing it. Any tips would be great.

Hi everyone!! I have been viewing all these posts here on 7Sage and saw really useful suggestions for my LSAT prep. I have scheduled April 2022 digital lsat, yet still I got my PT score average at 160 (only started prepping from February). My LR score raised from -15 to -3 ~ -5 now after I finished loophole (just skim through) and LSAT Trainer (another skim through) and Powerscore Bible LR. I am currently working on the Manhattan LG prep book and find it useful for my LG score boost. Just wondering is there anyone who has used the Manhattan LR book and raised score even after a relatively OK level (such as -3 to -5)? By the way, I am struggling at RC and still do not find a helpful prep book and haven't developed my own strategies for this section. Is there any suggestion? Thank you so much and hope everyone can kill this monster. : )

I was doing a section and my battery died on my laptop. And when I came back 7sage did not detect that I had left the test abruptly, or lest not the way I anticipated.

the timer stopped but then updated and I lost 4 minutes. Its ust for minutes, and I'm still new, but as I get further and work on my timing more, I feel like this would be very disruptive.

I just want it to hit the pause button for me for cases like this, even if I lose the time for it to recognize and check, that is still better than 4 minutes.
