Or anyone that has finished the CC!

I would love like a study buddy and we over PT's specifically sections of LR and RC!

I find that hearing other people's train of thought and explaining my own reasoning helps me.

If anyone interested LMK!

I've never self-studied before, and I'm struggling with pacing myself. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on:

I realize that everyone learns differently, but any tips or ideas on pacing would be deeply appreciated!

Hi there,

I wrote the August LSAT and scored a 149, so I have registered to take the November LSAT. I studied this summer with PowerScore books and Khan academy, but really enjoyed the 7Sage LR videos that are on YouTube- which made me decide to join 7Sage for access to the Logic Games videos in particular. I was PTing in the high 150s before I took the test, so getting a 149 was a bit of a shock.

My excuse/disclaimer is that I am currently on parental leave and home with a now 4-month old baby, so studying has been tricky. I'm excellent at managing my time during his naps and after both my kids are in bed, but I am well aware there is a lot of ground to cover in the 7sage curriculum and I won't have enough time.

My question is, in this situation- how would you suggest focussing my time? I struggle most with Logic Games, though I'm obviously not nailing LR or RC either.

I can commit at least 20 hours a week (approx. 3-4 hrs a day, 6 days), give or take.

Thanks for the advice!

Hello, I am currently doing untimed practice sections for LR and I am finishing sections in 75 minutes and getting around -4- to -7. Should I be reviewing the strategies more, drilling specific questions type or keep on practicing with individual sections until I get my time down? I have read the Loophole book and it definitely simplified LR for me.

Hello! I'm looking to form a small study group for the Nov. test. I'm currently PT-ing in the 165 range (BR 176-178) and aiming to get to 171-173. Currently, I'm averaging -3/4 for LR (aiming to get down to -1/2) and -4/5 for RC (aiming to get it down to -3/4. For LG, I'm struggling with time and not getting to the last game (working on it! :) )

I'd love to create a group with people with similar stats. It would be great to sync up on practice tests. I've done PT 60-72, so study buddies around low 70s PTs would be amazing! Trying the cadence of 3/week at least and regularly meeting to review PTs at that similar cadence.

Feel free to send me a direct message with your situation and we can see if it is a good fit both ways!!

Hellooo,

I guess I wanted to send a discussion to see if this would be a good idea for not.

So background info, I have already completed all my applications back in September because I wanted to only focus on my LSAT and not worry about my applications. So all my schools are simply just waiting for my LSAT score to begin looking into my applications. I’m in a position where I’m only working on my mental psyche bc test anxiety is real for me. Based on all my Pts I’m scoring between 153-160 but I really want to score above 160 to be competitive applicant due to my non competitive GPA. I have confidence in all my other applicant materials but I know there’s importance to the numbers (GPA/LSAT). I decided to also sign up for the January LSAT for a backup if i’m not statified with the score I receive. But i’m debating on either just leaving whatever score on my Nov I get and see what schools decide i’m good enough even with my average scores or canceling it/ leaving it and then working on my January test and if schools decide to make a decision prior to my new test score or wait for it.

If i decide to want to wait for my January score, even though I’ve already done applications, how does that work? Will schools hold back and wait? or will they make a decision and then determine if waiting for a January score is worth it?

I’m sure reaching out to my schools i’ve applied to and seeing what’s the best way to move forward is a good option but I have a tendency to think ahead to prevent a mental break down on Nov 29th lol

Any advice helps!

I have one month until my exam and am consistently performing the worst on RC. Usually -7/8. My problem is, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. From everything I have read and what my tutor is telling me, I read the passage correctly and comprehend everything in it, doing a low res summary along the way, ID-ing the MP, and completing an analysis of where the authors voice is. I am doing this in 4 1/2 min too. However when it comes to the questions (particularly ones that ask me to make an inference or decide what the author might agree/disagree with) I struggle a lot and it takes upwards of 5 min. I've noticed that once I go back through and BR (reread the whole passage and do every question again) I usually get -1/0. Not sure if this is because I know what the questions will ask and therefore where to focus in the passage or if I'm less stressed about time or something. I don't know how to improve or even where I'm going wrong. Help !!

Hi Guys, I postponed my test to Jan. Would like to find some study partners to join for some LSAT LR hard questions and detailed reading for hard RC passages.

Drilled all the 1-35, just started to drill 36 above. Please let me know if your pace is similar to me.

Aim for 168 in Jan. Now is at late 155-160.

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a study group in the Bay Area, or over Zoom! Please reach out to me if you want to connect and study. I really need an accountability buddy LOL.

I'm aiming to take the September or October test (I just started studying) and would love to work alongside someone who's doing the same.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the explanations for the right/wrong answers on these weakening questions don't contradict one another.

PT 86 S1 Q14

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-86-section-1-question-14/

PT29 S1 Q16

Admin Note: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-29-section-1-question-16/

In Q14, JY says (C) is incorrect because we don't know whether bats are included in the "most." Whether or not they are included establishes the relevance of this "most" claim -- you have to be included in the "most" otherwise we don't care. With this in mind, I initially eliminated answer (B) while doing Q16. But JY says (B) is the correct answer for Q16 because since some languages lack words for parts of their environment, it isn't surprising that Proto-Indo-European have no word for "sea." They could have still lived by the sea, making the premise less relevant. I'm confused for two reasons. First, we don't know if the Proto-Indo-European speakers are included in the "some," if they aren't included in this group then this claim becomes irrelevant. Second, the reason (B) is correct on Q16 seems in-line with the thought process I used when incorrectly picking (C) for Q14: if most animals normally rarely bite, then it isn't surprising that bats rarely bite. Rabid bats could still bite, making this premise less relevant. I can see why (B) is the best answer for Q16, but now I'm confused about why (C) is wrong for Q14. What am I missing?

Does anyone know where you can practice translating for English to logic for inference questions. For example a bunch of question stems for practice and we translate them to logic.

I am looking for a study buddy to study for the November test if you are interested please let me know. Only serious people need to reply. Thank You.

Hi. I need help with something. I know how embedded conditionals work. For example

A---> (B---->C) then it becomes A and B ----->C

But what happens if its (A--->B) unless C

Negating sufficient, does it become (B/----->A/)----->C. Or conversely, C/------>(A----->B)

And then does it become C/ and A---->B. Its a question from PT 74 S2 Q24. Its really tripping me up

PrepTest A - Section 1 - Question 8

This is a MSS question

It is a comparison statement between Fossilized bones of R and E Hominids

R contains a lower ratio S/C than E

There is a negative correlation between the ratio and the meat in the diet.

And we know the E eats meat

A Correct We can suggest that R also eats meat, at least some, cause it has a smaller ratio than E

B We don't know the composition of S in either

C We don't know the composition of C in either

D We don't know the ratio in either

E We don't know this, is not stated.

Anyone working on this PT and want to BR with me?

I'm doing the flex version, timed. I typically get -0 on LG so not really looking to BR there, but if you want to I can.

My last PTs are around 170. Booked for June test, my first (and hopefully only).

My top choice for law school is Boston College as it is the only school in Massachusetts that offers a dual JD/MSW program. My undergraduate GPA is above their 75th percentile but I am currently PTing under their 25th percentile LSAT. I was wondering about if I should write an LSAT addendum. Should I write one only if I score below their 25th percentile or below their median? And what would be considered good reasons for why my LSAT doesn't reflect how I will preform in law school? Like I said my undergrad GPA was a 3.83 in a philosophy major that required a lot of difficult reading and writing. I've been studying since the beginning of the summer but timing is a big issue (which I am getting accommodations for due to disability). I didn't take a lot of tests in college which I think is also why it's hard for me. Plus the whole studying during a pandemic when I am out of work and anxiety is high. Any thoughts??

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

Hi,

Anyone have recommendations for tutors that specialize in working with students w ADHD?

I struggle with reading answering all the questions within the 35 minute time frame. Anyone have any advice on this?

I’m taking PT, don’t score some of them, leaving for blind review. As of now, I have for br PT 54 (RC), 55, 56(LR), 54(LR), 61(LR), and going up. Please let me know if you are interested br one of these PT any time soon

I like to write in the margins for RC passages and I'm struggling with how to fully grasp a passage on the online flex test. How have people been using the 3 highlighters and/or writing notes?

Thank you

For those of you who are planning to take the exam this year and/or applying to law school this year, here's some niche fb study groups.

For those working full time: https://www.facebook.com/groups/953107761786529

Not affiliated with any of these groups, I just thought it would be helpful for those looking for specific types of support/community/accountability. Wishing you all the best of luck.

P.S If anyone identifies as Latina, feel free to message me! Would love to hear how your studies are going!

I have seen so many different answers on this, so I'm just hoping to hear some different experiences:

For those of you who (like me) went to community college before transferring and had one (or two) really bad semesters that have cratered your LSAC GPA, have you tried academic renewal with your community college?

I have a meeting with a counselor at my community college on Thursday to discuss my options. It's ridiculous because I literally left that school over ten years ago, but that's just the way it is, I suppose.

Anything to share?

How many of the study sets do y'all do before moving on to the next topic? I realized I should probably hold off some to come back to so I can study with them later. I'm at the point where if I get a consistent 5/5 on timed and BR I move on, but looking for feedback and any recommendations from y'all! LMK good luck studying

I'm looking for thoughts on my current situation-- I'm a first-time test taker, and I have studied consistently since around the end of May. I planned on taking the LSAT once, and maybe twice if I drastically underperformed. Sadly, I have let the Nov. date get away from me.

Originally, my plan was to test in October since I wanted to get applications in around Thanksgiving-- but now I'm wondering if I should reschedule. My goal score was a 165, and until about two weeks ago I was PT'ing consistently in the low 160s, with a -4 or -6 on LR, -4/-5 on RC.

Recently though, something clicked for me in LR, and I've gone -0/-1 several times, along with several -1 to -3 scores on RC. My last PT (92) was my best, a 168 with LR -1, RC -3, and LG -7--which is actually one of my best LG sections to date. LG has killed my score since the very beginning and it is so frustrating.

Anyway, I say all that to ask, in light of my recent improvements-- should I pay the fee, postpone to Nov., and try to find some help with LG, or just stick with October? I hate wondering how much higher my score could have been with a better LG performance, but I don't know if I have enough time to improve any on LG/ if the time I'd lose on early application submission is worth it... anyway, any help/advice is appreciated!
