Would someone be able to provide me with some of the nuances and strategies needed when tackling link assumption questions. I seem to uniquely struggle with them on my tests and cannot find specific resources for how to approach them. I figure some sort of my mindset is incorrect but I have yet to be able to figure out what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Studying Format

Hi,

I recently started studying and I'm signing up for the November Exam. For taking practice exams, would it be better for me to complete the whole curriculum first? Or do people usually take the practice exams/drills at the same time?

Not a super strong test taker, so I'm looking for the best way to manage my time!!

Printing PT

Hi yall, is there an option to print whole PTs. I only get the option to start and import PTs but no option to download a PDF version.

Today I scored a 161/162 for the 5th time in 10 PTs, most of my others have been about the same range, 159/160. Today's 161 was the best I've done on a PT across all 4 sections, -6 (RC), -4 (LR), -6 (LR), -6 (LR). To get a 165+, you need to get 14 or less incorrect; Today was -18 (-6 x 3), but was the best cumulative 4 section score I've gotten. I have found myself improving drastically in drilling, following close to target time results, I'll do drills of my weakest type, 4 and 5 star NA/SA/Weakening, and get very, very few wrong. But when it comes time to test, I feel like I find it very hard to get the 5 star Q's right, in drilling I have no problem with them (comparatively). Still, maybe due to the mental fatigue of an entire section, I find myself getting almost every question (~90-95% accuracy 1-4 stars) right up until the 5 stars, and then have my sections fall apart (specifically in LR) from 17-25. What should I do to remedy this? I drill 15 LRs and aim for ~18-20 minutes target time, and 2 passage RCs ~17-19 minutes target time.

What did others do to break out of this pre-165 bump. I take the august in 2 weeks, my hope is that I can put it all together before then and get a 165, if not, my more reasonable test for this achievement is september.

I know of some LSAT demon strategies, that I've read recently, where some people say go for 100% accuracy, guess on the last, this is surely interesting. But I've been trying to do, and do successfully, 10 questions in 10 minutes, and then 15 in 25. I think I'm going to change my strategy to 15 questions in 15 minutes, and then leave 20 for the last 10, as I feel myself needlessly dragging my feet through 11-15.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Tips on Slowing Down?

Hey y'all! I recently took a PT and got 166 on the first take and 176 on BR. I think this disparity is because I go way too fast through the questions and end up making dumb mistakes. I try to remind myself to go slow while taking the test, but it never seems to help. Any tips on how to slow yourself down and ensure you are fully thinking through the questions?

Is there anyway to "mute" some of my older PTs so I can see a more updated list of my priorities? I don't necessarily want to delete the older ones - I just want to see my weak areas now vs. then

Suppose the stimulus to a parallel reasoning question was something along the lines of:

A⊃B

B⊃C

C⊃D

A,

Therefore D.

And one of the answer choices read:

W⊃X

X⊃Y

~Z⊃~Y,

W,

Therefore Z.

The sentence '~Z⊃~Y' is the contrapositive of Y⊃Z, and so just as the first argument is valid, so too is the second. But I was wondering if, in a parallel reasoning question, they will ever give an answer choice that utilizes the contrapositive.

Sorry for my poor ability to formulate a question.

After getting 177-180 consistently on my PT, I got a 172 on a 2024 LSAT. Now I'm back to studying for Sept 2025 and am scoring in the 177-180 range on all my PTs again. Wondering how I can best use this time to ensure that I don't have the same test day performance drop? Any advice appreciated

I took the LSAT in June and got a 168 which was well below not only my best score, but also what I had been averaging. I’m taking it again in August and I’ve been taking roughly 3 prep tests every 2 weeks since getting my score back. The first one I took after taking a break I got a 176 and then after that 175. Then my last two have been 172 and 169. They’ve all been about the same difficulty and none of them are drastically different in age. I noticed a similar pattern before my first LSAT where it seemed like I was just getting worse with each prep test, including getting my worst score since I first started studying in February a few days before the test (166). Should I stop taking prep tests altogether?

Hi! I'm taking the August and September test and am stuck in the jump between the 160s to the 170s. I would love to make a group chat of people to help keep each other motivated and on track, talk about tough questions, or just talk LSAT in general. I feel like I'm trying to become fluent in a new language (LSAT Language) and have no one to speak it with lol. If you feel u want a group like that too, lmk!

Hi everyone,

I am writing to create a study group of individuals who are super motivated and willing to put in the actual work and accountability to meeting and studying.

We will be meeting 2-3x a week ideally, via zoom or discord.

Looking to form a group for people that are scoring 155+

If interested please let me know and I will form a group, I will be capping it around 10-15 members

💪 Motivated

Beginner

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has been studying for the LSAT on and off and is currently scoring in the 130s on practice tests. A few months ago, I took a practice test and scored a 135, but I’ve been hesitant to take another one since. I’m feeling a bit stuck and would love to connect with others who are in a similar place or who’ve been there before. Are there any beginner-friendly study groups you’d recommend or are currently part of?

Thanks in advance!

Starting Over

I took the June LSAT and didn't get the score I wanted. Any advice from anyone taking it a second time on where to start and how to restudy?

And all of my progress from the old 7sage format is gone.. including preptests so that's super fun... oh well!

Hi! My name is Rylie, and I am currently studying for the Sept 2025 LSAT! I just recently finished the curriculum and would love a study buddy to bounce ideas off of and review! I am located in South Jersey (bordering Philly and the Wilmington, DE areas), and would be happy to meet up at local libraries, coffee shops, etc. Let me know if you're interested!

I am signed up for the August LSAT, and I know that it automatically signs me up for an LSAT writing portion as well. I wanted to focus on strictly the RC and LR LSAT portions in August, so I was considering taking the writing portion on a different testing cycle. Am I able to submit an LSAT writing independent of the LSAT? For example, could I submit the September LSAT writing and the August exam into my applications, or do I have to submit the writing and exam from the same month?
