I skip around passages from easiest to hardest. typically, at the 3rd passage I start comprehending the passage less than if I were doing this passage isolated to the rest in the form of a drill . I assume the issue is because I have trouble shifting focus from passage to passage. As a result, I find myself not being able to complete 4-6 questions because I try to keep understand the passage after the initial read to reference those questions. Does anyone have any advice to overcome this> Thanks.

Could someone help me out here?

The stem reads "The passage suggests that Taruskin's position commits him to which one of the following views?" I'm having trouble understanding why AC D is wrong here. I selected AC D because in lines 6-7 Taruskin explicitly states that high art was produced by and for elites. JY's reasoning as to why AC D is incorrect is just that Taruskin never mentions that the artists are themselves part of the elite class but this just doesn't seem to be true? I get why AC C is right. Does this question hinge on the use of the word suggests in the stem? That it can't be explicitly stated but must instead be implied? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Is there a conditional and set logic drill so that I could apply the things that I am still learning. I went through the groups and I want to hone in my skills rather than just do 5 questions and be done with it. I have not taken any prep tests as I am saving it for the end of the course. I am currently working from the chains until the rest of the course section. Is there a place to practice these skills without affecting my progress on the actual questions on prep tests.

Is the best way to learn the indicators through anki or quizlet?

Is there any way to look at analytics of both obsolete tests and the new format on one graph? I just took my first Preptest under the new format and now I only see the modern preptest version, whereas I've taken like 12 preptests in the obsolete version #help

I have an old GRE score from June 2021 that was required to enter into a grad program (just had to take it, score didnt matter). that being said the score is kinda abysmal. do I have to report it? esp since my lsat scores are recent (sept & nov of this year)

Hi!!

I feel like I am not understanding fully how to properly utilize the wrong answer journal. I dont know if this makes sense but I do not see how I will improve with it nor do I feel I know what to put on the "How can I change my process to do better on these in the future?" portion. I was hoping someone could explain to me and possible give me an example of how it has worked for them? Thank you so much!!

I’ve been stuck studying the LSAT for about 9 months now. I wasn’t preforming well the first 6 with the programs had so I switched to 7sage I’ve been PT’ing in the mid- high 140’s and definitely seen some improvement. However my goal is to break 150’s and apply in the fall. What are some tips/tricks yall have used to get you over that time edge? I have already registered for October and I plan on having that be my last exam since I’ll be working/studying for other exams.

Another concern of mine is this exam and being admitted. I’m not shooting for the stars and the schools I have are in the T100 region. I have all my other credentials in line such as a high gpa (Accounting 3.9), great LOR, and a lot of internship experience. The calculator seems to think I have a decent chance lol but was wondering if anyone has insight? Thanks.

The past couple PTs I've been beating the target time on both the passages and the questions, and yet I'm still getting crunched by the end of the section. I normally get between -3 to -0 on RC, but since encountering this issue I've swelled to -7 and -9. Is anyone else having a similar problem? What can I do?

Hey guys, so I graduated undergrad about 2 years ago, and a majority of my classes ended up being online at the time due to Covid, although I have already emailed a few Professors I had in person asking if they would be willing to write me one, I have gotten denied. At this point I feel really stuck and Im not sure what to do. I could ask an old boss but I have only worked retail jobs during my gap year or didnt work at all. Any advice? Is it possible to apply without any letters? I know its a stretch but im freaking out.

Hey guys, I've just about finished going through the LSAT Trainer (2024 edition), and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts here have been regarding supplementary resources for 7sage in general. When I initially began my LSAT prep, I tried proceeding strictly with 7sage but I found myself getting a little all over the place. I think the LSAT Trainer was a decent starting point for structuring my LSAT self-study and prep; I think I'm going to be able to utilize 7sage a lot more efficiently moving forward. That said, I still wouldn't be surprised if anyone thinks there are better supplementary resources out there. What do you guys think?

Hi guys, September test date approaching and getting extremely anxious. This is first time I'm taking LSAT, I need a 160. I've been PTing and my lowest 2 were 157 & 159, then mostly 160-161. For those that have taken it, have you found that PT genuinely reflect the real score? Or does your real score turn out higher or lower than what you were normally expecting?

Did 7sage somehow update or change their "Preptest Sections to show" part of their drilling mode? I'm so confused. For a long time the sections were divided into four drilling modes: "Core curriculum" and then three other sections of prep tests. Now it has four sections different from before: "Recommended for PTs", "Used in Core Curriculum", "Recommended for PTs", and "All Prep Tests (101-158)". I was keeping track of my progress and what I had gotten done the way it was previously set up. I was working my way through all of the core curriculum drills. Now, some of these drills are either all gone or have a bunch new added. This is kind of annoying? It's all differently organized now and I can no longer tell which levels of difficulty from which section (RC or LR) I've completed. Did I press something to make it appear this way or is this a new update that will permanently stay?

Hello. This is my first post here.

I studied for three years a Dual Degree in Law and Political Science in my home country Spain; left unfinished because I moved to the USA. Then, once in the USA, I applied for a private school, undergrad (Green Card holder - I am, thus, not an "international student"). After one year and a half, my family could not handle the burden of increasing debt, so I transferred to a more affordable school option. I have two semesters (one year, obviously) left.

My question is: when applying to Law School, will LSAC include my grades from Spain in order to calculate the GPA? According to the LSAC: "... LSAC makes no attempt to assess the value of grades earned at different colleges (outside the US/Canada system)".(https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school/jd-application-process/cas/requesting/transcript-summarization).

I know that LSAC requests all transcripts from undergraduate, so of course they will be getting the transcript from Spain; however. The question is not about the transcript, but rather about the grades, are these grades, earned abroad, counted or not?

The school I am at now does report earned Spanish credits, but does not include the grades to my GPA.

I honestly hope these Spanish grades do not count because I did better in the USA than in Spain...

Thank you.
