I've started with Mike Kim's Trainer and got through about 1/3 of the book (skipping LG for the new format). My diagnostic PT was a 160, which is a decent start, but now I'm wondering if I should switch to 7sage's core curriculum and finish that as soon as possible. Given where I'm at and the remaining time I'm at, how should I prioritize the CC, the trainer, and PTs?

For example, should I do 1 PT per week along with the CC and drop the trainer entirely? Or should I finish the CC entirely first then start doing PTs?

Thanks!

I’ve been having issues with RC. When I review questions or watch videos, all it gives me is the breakdown of the passage and doesn’t help with real-time issues regarding how I should map out the passage under time constraints. I either write too little or I write too much; I either eat up time going back to the passage or I spend too much on the diagram and run out of time for the Qs, respectively. Does anyone have a better system, preferably one that references the structure and a low resolution summary?

Could someone please explain this one?

Hi everyone, I've recently drilled timed sections from the earlier PTs (1-15) and have seen my LR section score improve from about -4/-5 (later PTs) to -2/-3 (earlier PTs) and my RC score improve from -4 (later PTs) to -2 (earlier PTs) in the past two weeks. I've also noticed that I'm able to breeze through the questions faster with time to spare and more confidence at the end of the section. Is this most likely a reflection of an actual skill improvement, or are the earlier PTs easier? There seems to be varying information and opinions about the weight that should be given to earlier PTs.

It's also very likely that I am reading too much into the minor variance from the earlier PTs to current PTs, but I'm a bit nervous to see the results of a new, more recent PT.

Thank you in advance!

Is there a method for identifying the ASQ in each Logic Game question set?

If anyone who has taken/will be taking the LSAT has any specific tips that they would be willing to share specifically on the Analytical Reasoning (logic games) section that would much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

These questions are some of the most time consuming in LR, and there are many people in the LSAT community who advocate using certain techniques for eliminating answer choices on these questions quickly. These techniques include strategies like: matching the strength of the conclusion (qualifier words), the type of reasoning (conditional, causation, etc.), and other qualifier words such as most, some, all, etc.

However, I've noticed that in recent exams (70's), LSAC has made these questions (even!) more difficult and time consuming by including all of these features in most of the answer choices. (For example, if the stimulus uses "probably" in the conclusion, 4 out of 5 answer choices will all include the word "probably" too.) As a result, they've eliminated some of the 'quick and easy' tells that we had at our disposal to move through these questions faster.

Has anyone else noticed this trend? If so, what other techniques/shortcuts do you use in order to cut through the problem and eliminate wrong answers quickly?

Thanks!

I am working on the LG section of the CC. I am fool proofing all of the games as I go through them, examples and timed sections. How much time should I plan to give between runs on a particular game? After writing a game out 3-4 times (twice a day), I am able to get it down quickly, but I also feel like I am just memorizing. Is there a particular set of games that we are supposed to full proof or just do them as we go? I am also planning on testing in August, so I have about 3 months to work with.

Hi community,

Looking to form a group of motivated studiers to BR one PT/week over the summer.

Anyone who wants to join can do so using this link -- no need to message me directly or post your email!

I've learned from participating in the community here that talking through problems is the best way for me to learn at this stage of my studying. I'm taking the July LSAT and it's my third and last chance to get a 174+. I've been scoring mid 170s on PTs, and I want to get serious with a group, because I know that's the only way to make sure my performance on test day is bulletproof.

All levels are welcome!

I find it best when there is a mix!

Looking forward to studying!

Zach

Hi Everyone,

I'm feeling down. On lawhub ive been averaging 154-156 on my PTS. I decided to start doing PTs on 7sage so i can track my analytics. The past 3 times ive taken a PT on 7sage , the highest score i got was 149. I'm so confused. I dont know if im regressing or if it is just the layout/format of the platform. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

TIA!

Hello,

I made a final push for June of 2024 (trying to maximize LG's) with the hope of hitting 170. I fell about five points short of that goal and am feeling a bit stuck. On the one hand, I was making substantial improvement with LR/RC. However, I feel that the uphill battle to claw towards the 170 with just RC/LR will be a challenge. I've PT'd in the past in the 170s (with LGs) and have seen RC/LR scores that indicate that I'm capable of getting close to that margin. I was wondering if anyone was feeling the same way and was wondering how to approach the post-June LSAT if you're in a similar predicament. I've put a lot of time and effort towards getting a 170 and hate to fall five (albeit a big five) points short. Was hoping to see if anyone had any advice or input in a similar situation. Thanks.

Should I be BRing logic games? Or should I do the game timed, check answers and if necessary, foolproof?

I am scoring in the late 150s-early 160s and will have more time to study for the LSAT. I am looking to write the LSAT again by October/November. I’m looking for someone who is dedicated, studying full-time, and ideally scoring in the similar range. Message or comment if interested.

Hi everyone,

I took my first LSAT a few years ago and was hoping I could get some feedback on my writing sample. Don't hold back.

Hi! I’m looking for study partners available to meet up online. I’m hoping to score as high as I can and would love for someone who is motivated to do the same. Please lmk if interested.

hey guys! Is there any advice week of how to study? Should I still be doing sections everyday? Or just reviewing past PTs? I just dont want to burn out! I take the test sunday, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

I really need help with my personal statement. I applied for law schools for this cycle and obviously didn't make it. I know my LSAT was the main contributor, but I feel like my personal statement wasn't what it needed to be. Does anyone know where I can get help?

Hey All,

First off, I am looking for a study buddy that is a full time parent & works a full time job. We need to make time & hold each other accountable!!!

Second, I have a channel dedicated towards the LSAT test days.

For every testing, I do a message for every date there is a test.

It’s beneficial when you’re already overthinking that big day!!!

I'm a bit confused of the way the 7Sage study schedule is laid out. I'm planning to take the test in October and in the custom Study Schedule 7Sage created, there is no time dedicated to drills in any of the weeks and all the practice tests are bunched up in one week (Week 10 in September).

Does anyone have a recommended study schedule to use integrating drills and practice tests throughout the process? I want to make sure I'm actually drilling questions and taking practice tests ahead of my test date to work on areas I need to improve on.

Thanks!

Does anyone know why either E is wrong for question 21, or why D is right for question 24?

Can someone explain why A is correct? Paragraph 2 of the passage seems to indicate that there physicists can distinguish between the emission of thermal radiation and reflection, which is why A is confusing because it says it's hard to distinguish between the two.

Hey all,

Lookin for anyone who's in the Atlanta area looking to start a study group. I've been scoring in the 150s, but looking to break into the one 160s by Jan. Hit me up if interested!
