hey guys, does any one have tips on highlighting with MacBook, on RC passages, and LR premises?

Hi! I have an accommodation to have the experimental section removed from the test all together. Is there any way to adjust PTs on 7Sage to reflect not having the experimental section?

Hi,

Does anyone know any reliable LSAT writing sample answer?

Nov was my first LSAT and I thought LSAT flex just skip the writing section...

Thanks,

Rena

I originally picked C and didn't pick D - can someone confirm my rationale for why C is wrong and D is right?

C - Mentions that "very low" blood sugar levels could cancel out the high cholesterol levels, but the residents have normal blood sugar levels, so this is super irrelevant. Seems like LSAT is banking on fast and undetailed reading

D - If the residents have a genetic predisposition against vascular blockage, then that might explain why even with high cholesterol levels, they may have a counteracting force against the cholesterol levels

Just finished PT 77 and my usual BR partner isn't responding, anyone up for some BR??? HMU

Hi y'all! After 2.5 months of studying, I took the November 2023 LSAT and scored 15 points lower than what I want my dream score to be for my law school applications. I have taken a bit of a break in studying since, and decided this weekend I am getting back into the swing of things, so I am posting this for accountability. I knew then, and know now, that I personally needed more time to get the score I wanted and properly study for this test. However, I am now stressing what is the best date for me to sign up for. I know I want to give myself until at LEAST the June test date- I work full time and balancing work, working out, studying, and generally surviving can be tricky. However, I know June is also the last date that will have Logic Games - it is my favorite section of the LSAT, but from the few diagnostics I have taken, I am not particularly good (read: quick) at solving them for the timing of the LSAT.

With all of this, I am not sure if I should still be aiming to take the LSAT in June or if I should give myself even more time beyond that. I am really anxious and eager to submit my applications once my LSAT score is where I want it, and I am dreading the idea of applying in 2026, so I really want to make this upcoming year my year. In addition, I want to submit my applications as early as possible for the 2025 cycle so I can get that out of the way.

tldr I am feeling lost on how to structure my studying this month, and I don't know if Logic Games are worth my time at all. Any study tips, encouragement, advice, feedback would be greatly appreciated. Seeking out motivation and accountability so that all of us can succeed in 2025 and beyond!

hi all! I just got back my score from the September LSAT and my score went down from my previous test by 4 points.. should I submit an addendum for this? I’m reading mixed suggestions online..

For background context I applied last cycle in February (late I know, but I was wanting to get a decent score and wanted to be in school by this current fall) and was waitlisted pretty much everywhere I applied. I decided to r&r mid-july which left me with little review time before the September test date, which I wanted to take so that I could submit my applications like early since I’m planning on applying to the same schools I was waitlisted at. In retrospect I should've signed up for the October test and planned to submit by November rather than October.

Will this hurt my chances of getting accepted at my previously waitlisted schools? Should I explain this in an addendum or no..? Any suggestions help

I have heard people say that using the "and" and "but" strategy for weaken/strengthen questions really helps them arrive at the right answer. The strategy is basically that when you are asked to strengthen the argument, you say "and" at the beginning of each AC, and when you are asked to weaken the argument, you say "but" at the beginning of each AC. People say this has been a "life changing" strategy for them, but I'm still confused on how this helps people discern which answer is correct. If you use this strategy, could you please elaborate on how you use it (perhaps with an example)?

What does it mean when it says that a LOR is "In Progress" on LSAC but I know that the person has submitted the letter back? Thanks!

I am looking for someone who would like to study together who lives in Los Angeles. Maybe once a week? I am prepping for the December 2nd test. It will be my first time. My diagnostic June 2007 score was 162, however, I feel like that was partly luck, as I guessed on quite a few questions. I would say my areas of strength are well rounded but speed is my greatest weakness. I think explaining what you know to someone is the best way to improve. I am going with the 3 month 7sage package after I finish the free trial. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks!

I am looking for someone who has been studying for the LSAT in the mid-160's and who is enrolled in Live Classes and is a fairly regular attendee and by regular I mean at least one session a day. I am looking for someone to talk to during class and by talk I mean exchanging specific questions about what the instructor is covering because I have noticed many times, questions and comments being lost in the chat, and they are never addressed so I hope this will help you as much as it helps me. if anything, it will help us to keep focus at least. and I mostly want to try to answer your questions so I won't be messaging you questions. the only exception will be during office hours because for those I leave once I have my question answered. And there aren't any obligations with this commitment; if for any reason we try this out and it doesn't work we don't have to have a formal discussion about stopping, we could just stop. During live classes, my name in the zoom will always be Ashley.

I know CCv2 is suitable for the August 2024 LSAT given the removal of LG in June 2024, so I should probably pursue CCv2; however, I've already mapped out a 6mo study schedule with CCv1 which has ~820 courses whereas CCv2 has ~540. The minimized course offerings in CCv2 cut out ~2.5 months of study time. This is important because I want to pace my study schedule such that I am prepared for the August 2024 LSAT.

What's a good way to pursue CCv2 without majorly disrupting my study schedule?

Perhaps I blend courses from CCv1 and CCv2 to extend the study period or simply add more PTs to my new CCv2 study plan?

Hey do any of you guys have any experience with deferring from Spring to Fall semester?

I was recently offered admission at a school for Spring 2022 but I'm signed up for the January test and want to see if I can better my score?

Would it be okay for me to ask them to transfer my offer to Fall 2022 instead?

Thanks, any insight would be helpful.

am i rushing through br? am i not flagging enough?

Does anyone have a good estimate on this? I am trying to budget my line.

I am the type of person that really gets into details when doing questions.

Also, can you please tell me when I should do the drills? should I wait until entire LR section is completed or should I start drills when I start that section?

In the past, spots would fill up for exams. Is that the same for the Flex? Do spots fill up and then people won't be able to sign up?

Hello everyone. Since my diagnostic, until now I have gone up about 13 points but I am still yet to reach my goal of 165. I have taken countless PTs and have been drilling almost every day for the past 6 months. My biggest problem is managing my time. In the LR sections, I always finished with 5 unanswered questions. On the RC, I only get to finish 3 passages. I know some say that there is only so much more you can improve after having studied for a long time, but I refuse to believe that I have plateaued. There has to be a way.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to finish on time with accuracy?

Does anyone know how we are supposed to review the questions we got wrong on the LR sections of the preptests if it dosent show us the question after we have completed the test?

I practiced a lot of LG questions and I got a huge improvement on it. However, my timing is terrible.

I want to ask for help on LG timing!

Please drop your advice!

Thank you so much :)

Hey everyone! Currently in the midst of doing this for UVA which requests that all applicants:

"list your significant extracurricular, extra-professional, community and/or other activities in the order of importance to you. Please provide a brief (1) description of each activity, and (2) specify your involvement, (3) length of involvement, (4) special projects, and (5) responsibilities."

I know a couple of other schools ask something similar so UVA isn't the only one that this applies to.

Anyways, curious as to what the optimal strategy here is in terms of quantity vs. quality - probably like a lot of people I joined a TON of organizations but probably only had a serious and sustained involvement in 3-4. On my resume I've limited the number of organizations that I list to just those that I would be confident talking about if anyone were to ask me about it - I mean after all no one is really going to believe that I had a meaningful involvement in 12 different clubs/organizations.. do you think the same principle applies to this type of statement: List and explain everything you did in the handful of clubs and organizations that actually meant something to you or exhaustively list everything you were engaged in and emphasize those organizations that were most important?

Also, been out of school for 3 years now and have not been involved in any extra-professional activities - how bad is that? Not super worried about it but kind of feel like I probably should have been doing SOMETHING lol.

Hi everyone.

I've been studying for about 8 months and finally scored above my goal of 168 to get a 169!! My average is currently at a 166. Does anybody have any recommendations for prep in the 4 weeks left to keep up this momentum and push my average a few points up?

Section wise - LG is about -2/-0, LR is -1/-6 and RC is about -3/-8 I'm currently taking a full PT and a Flex about every week with 2 days of blind review, 2 days of review and 1 day a week off. I try to foolproof and do RC passages on days I review also.

Let me know about any stress management or PT advice. Thanks guys!

Would anyone be willing to review the May 2020 LR with me? There were a few tough questions, and I would appreciate talking with someone about them. I'd prefer to talk with someone who does well in LR.

Hi, guys there are certain topics in logical reasoning that I would like to be more advanced in.

Those being:

Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis Questions

Some and Most Relationships

Can someone offer me additional videos, or what I can do to feel more confident in these lessons.

Please assist me in any way you can.

Best of luck to you all.

Hi everyone,

JY often says that it's a good idea to scan the question types in a LG before deciding whether to split: if there will be more gameboards than questions without additional premises, then it's best not to split; if there are more questions without additional premises than gameboards, it's worth splitting.

I understand that it would be easy to scan these on paper versions of the test, but I am wondering whether others do this on digital versions of the test? Do people click through the questions to see what type they are before diagramming? Is this time efficient on the digital version of the test?

Thanks!
