I feel like there's something wrong. I finished 7sage's LR curriculum, drilled, took practice tests, and I never scored higher than my diagnostic. In fact, I only scored between 157 and 162 on my practice tests preceding the official test. To be fair, I introduced BR very late to my study process. But I feel like it's odd that I didn't at least stumble into a higher score based on rote practice and familiarity.

Does anyone have thoughts about how to proceed for the October exam? Should I hunker down, focusing on PTs and blind review? Should I consider a different program? A private tutor? Stop studying and hope my intuition marinates over that time (JK)?

Hello!

As I am drilling various question types, I have noticed a pattern in how I'm getting questions wrong. My main strategy with LR is that I drill the questions I need to work on most and slowly increase the difficulty. I was drilling specific flaw/ descriptive reasoning questions and as I'm getting to the 4/5 level difficulty questions I have noticed the AC have become very abstract. Even though I'm getting the assumptions right, and understanding the stimulus and where I have to look I'm still struggling to make sense of what they mean and often times that is why I end up picking the wrong AC.

Does anyone have any ideas where I could practice this specific drill? Or any ideas of how to improve this skill?

Thank you!

Hi all!

Sorry to bother but I really want to ask what I should do if I want to visit a law school and visit a class in the law school. I know I can register a tour from their websites. However, a lot of law schools I want to visit do not provide chances to register for visiting a class.

I really want to visit a class and what should I do? Thank you so much if you guys can give me some suggestions!

my permanent address will be changing next month but I am trying to request letters of recommendation sooner than that- once i update to my new address the address printed on the request form will be outdated- will that be a problem for my admission process?

With the new LSAT changes, which PTs are being used for question drills, and which ones are completely clean for full PTs?

I've seen that 7sage recommends taking old PTs first, but I've already done a lot of drills that uses questions from all the old PTs. Should I still do a full PT for tests I know a few answers to?

I’d like to print out all the modules to organize them into a binder for easier access and review. However, I’m having difficulty finding an efficient way to do this. Printing each page individually seems like it would take an extraordinary amount of time.

What’s most important to me is being able to print out the diagrams, as there doesn’t seem to be any way to do so currently. Is there a solution that would allow me to print or at least convert the diagrams (and ideally the modules) into a PDF?

Hi everyone,

I'm seeking some advice on studying after the core curriculum. I recently finished the core and took two preptests so far. Both showed weaknesses in causal reasoning and flaw. This seems to suggest that I should start drilling for causal reasoning and flaw type questions, but I also didn't want to burn through a bunch of drills without gaining as much as I could from them. Would a better option be a mix of question-type focused drills + timed LR sections (with thorough BR/review for each)? I thought it might be better to hold back on preptests for now (again because I didn't want to waste them), but I would appreciate any suggestions!

Hi guys! I am signed up for the August exam. I remember when friends took it this time around last year there were a lot of issues with Proctor U for online administrations. I haven't heard much recently about any issues.

Would love to hear people's more recent experiences from the June exam. :)

Disclaimer - I have not taken the LSAT yet so please correct me if I’m mistaken in believing it is only offered in a digital format barring some accommodation.

How are we supposed to parse out grammar when the exams are on a screen? I’ve read only text size and line spacing can be adjusted. Are we expected to mentally draw and remember 7 sets of parenthesis and arrows? Drawing on top of the questions and answer choices is extremely helpful for me.

Please let me know about your experiences and if we are able to draw and mark up questions like in the lesson videos. Thanks!

For context, I have not had testing accommodations in the past, but I have had an anxiety diagnosis for about 9 years now and am requesting 50% more time, however, I do have Kaiser Permanente, and it seems like due to their policy they aren't allowed to fill out outside/custom forms that aren't theirs. When I sent the request for my psychiatrist to fill out the qualified professional form, they instead sent me a "psychological disability form", which just shows the diagnosis + date, limitations on life activities (concentration/test stress management), as well as the current medications I'm taking for this. Would it be enough to just submit this document + explaining that it is out of my control that my healthcare provider is unable to fill out the qualified professional form. Anyone has a similar experience with Kaiser, what did you do? any advice?

I am taking the Nov Lsat and I really want to improve LR as much as I can in the next two weeks. My logic game is pretty strong and RC is average. For LR, I average about -10 to -11. I want to make the most out of the time I have remaining but I am stuck on how to improve. Should I just keeping drilling previous Logical reasoning sections? My goal score range is between 158-160 to get into the school I want.

Hi all,

Question regarding study abroad grades. I was in undergrad at a Canadian university and studied abroad for one semester in France through my schools program.

In my transcripts these grades just show up as credits (signifying pass because it was pass/fail).

However, I do have the transcript for my actual grades (based on a scale out of 20).

Do these actual grades get calculated into my LSAC GPA? Does anyone know if I have to submit these grades?

I keep seeing mixed things online and cannot find a clear answer.

Please let me know!

Does anyone relate or have a possible explanation on why my score has been consistently higher on lawhub PT than 7sage? Lawhub I score between 159-161 and on 7sage I get 154-155! What is going on, need advice Im starting to freak out, my exam is in a week help!

I registered for the August LSAT. I receive a pen and paper accommodation but the deadline passed on July 23 to register. They didn't send an email until today that I need to register after the deadline has passed. Since I couldn't register the other option is to opt out of the accommodation which also passed. Does anyone know what are my other option other than wait till the October LSAT?

My BR score has remained in the mid 160s with 166 being the highest, 164 being the lowest over the past 4 PTs. There is no question type that I am particularly struggling with, most of my wrong answers I just did not fully understand what I was reading. As for my timed scores my first PT was a 148 and it gradually has gone up each test with the highest and most recent one a 160. What do other people recommend I do? My goal for BR is to get it around 172-175 and my timed to be high 160s latest by January, hopefully by November or October. Should I just take practice tests over and over until it goes up? Is there any specific strategy I am missing? Side note: If anyone is in my same position and has the same goals would you like to get in touch and chat / study occasionally in discord? I am enrolled in school so I am taking 1 PT a week atm and drilling other days.
