Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has any good suggestions for specific drill templates that can be effective similar to the 15 LR in 15 min template J.Y. suggested in the core curriculum.
Thanks!
I cannot seem to get above a 176 on my blind review. I am grateful that I test at around the same level as my BR (171-175) but I also recognize that I am not going to be able to get above a 175 if I am not doing so on the blind review. I do the wrong answer journals (why did I get this wrong - what was my thinking - why is the correct answer right - why didn't I think it was right - what type of mindset/strategy is necessary for me to get it right next time) and I even log trends in wrong questions. I even have a vocab list I study. I just cannot get past this plateau. Any advice would be helpful

Hi, is there any way to download practice test score reports with the new 7sage? I believe the classic 7sage allowed this but I'm not seeing the option to do so with the new one. Thank you.
Anyone close to Emerald Isle North Carolina for a study group??
So the Foundation course in core curriculum is "Let's Dive In", "Arguments" and "Grammar" etc.
They contained number of hours required and finished.
After finishing them the hours disappear. I wanted to look at the predicted hours by 7sage and compare it with my own progress to gauge a better understanding of how long it would take to complete a section. Appreciate any help.
Hi. I'm planning on taking the test in October or November ! And I'm in need of a study buddy in the Charlotte area that is open to meeting up and doing zoom calls as well.
Today only, my blind review keeps telling me that I got 0% even when I get the answer correct. Additionally, this isn't an issue with time. On a few I've been over time, however, most I have been under time and it continues to happen. What is going on
Hey guys, I find i struggle with these two concepts. Is there a way to learn more about them aside from just drilling this question type?
Hi! Have noticed a trend among some of my recent wrong answers, wondering if anyone has any insights into this. Twice in one LR drill, I got the question wrong because I was unwilling to equivocate two terms. Ex: The stimulus was talking about “a new trend in the writing of history”, and the correct AC used the term “interpretation” to mean the said new trend. Again in that same section I missed a question talking about “experience” in the stimulus, with the correct AC using the word “expertise” instead.
The first question was a MSS, and the second a PSA… both rated as lower difficulty levels. The correct ACs were the ones I had originally been drawn to on both, but steered away from due to not wanting to falsely equivocate different terms! Any insight into this or advice would be very helpful!
These questions both came from PT127.S3, questions 3 and 15
Hi! I'm planning to take the October LSAT and would love a Boston-based study buddy if you're out there. Feel free to PM me if you're interested.
Anyone in Texas want to start a study group??

(This post is about the "Babies who can hear and have hearing parents" stimulus) I was doing a "contradiction" challenge question and overlooked the correct answer because it said "depends primarily on", which the stimulus didn't directly say anything against. I didn't preclude the possibility that the stimulus used the example of deaf babies as more of an exception. I initially chose E, which I noticed didn't feel correct, and I now understand why it's wrong. My problem is that answer choice B still doesn't seem right to me. It just feels like the best out of a bad bunch. Could someone help explain this to me, please?
@JR For the sake of maximizing my study material, is it best for me to take the old practices right now on classic.7sage before LSAC pulls them? Or should I just switch over to the new platform and start taking the newer tests?
Hello everyone! Happy Friday :) I am currently having a problem where I get down to 2 answer choices and pick the wrong one. I just did a problem set where I got 9/20, and there were 6 questions where I was left with 2 and picked the wrong one.
How do you decide from there, which of the 2 answers to pick? To add 6 raw points is crazy! I'm feeling pretty frustrated with this. I'm currently also mainly trying to drill Flaw, Causal & Rule App, Parallel Qs.
TIA!!! Trying to get those right answers between 2!

Having trouble identifying how assumptions play a role in LR stim's. I keep hearing 'inferences' and 'assumptions', pseudo-sufficient, sufficient, necessary in the content, but I am having trouble distinguishing the authors' vs my own assumptions (reasonably) to ID the correct answer choice. How do you go about ID'ing those inferences and/or assumptions to evaluate an argument's strength?? Any clarity is major appreciated!!!
I have taken three practice tests and my raw score gets worse each time I take it (stuck in low 150s). However, my blind review scores are consistently improving. I am discouraged because I feel like my blind review results won’t transfer to my actual LSAT performance. I think I perform about the same on LR and RC.
Any suggestions on how I should organize my studying?
I'm having so much trouble identifying necessary and sufficient flaw types in weaken and strengthen questions. I have watched lectures, attempted to go over my notes, and even tried flash cards. If you also had trouble with this, please give me some tips on what worked for you!

Whenever I do a standalone section with 26 questions, I am not able to get the allotted time to 35 minutes. Anyone have that issue?
Hey! I have been studying for a few months with my test in October. Lately I have been super focused on getting the LR wrong answers down. I average at -6 with my lowest -3. I usually have 2-3 minutes left to go over my flagged questions, so I do not think timing is the issue. I only get 5 star, sometimes 4 star, questions wrong. What is the best strategy I can use this next month to get my wrong answers down?
I generally do worse on RC than on LR. The last practice test i was -3 for both LR sections individually and -6 for RC. I juse took a practice test and got -1 and -3 on LR and -11 on RC. I am hoping that this is the bump before it clicks but this is extremely demotivating considering I spend the majority of my study time between tests drilling RC. Any advice or drills are appreciated. I know a problem I have is RC is more fluid and can vary more in the rigidity of the question stimulus relationship, and I cannot deal with that and overthink every answer like crazy. I feel like I can get to -3 or -4 consistently on RC. Timing is not a huge issue but is something I am not the greatest at.
