Hi I'd like to know how people got better at RC, both in reading skills and getting a better score. Thanks!

Hi 7sagers! I am planning to take October test, and I want to form a small study group of 2-3 people before the test for a better study experience. Currently I am scoring high 160s - low 170s, and my weakness is RC. I do better on LR and LG - if you need help on LR/LG but good at RC, we can help each other out (complementary skills are ideal but all are welcomed! Seriously LSAT is a beast and we'll come up with a better 'surviving strategy' if we work together!) I locate in east coast area and have fairly flexible schedule. Feel free to message me if you are interested!

Can someone on the 7Sage team confirm that the scores reported when simulating an LSAT Flex are accurate? What is the methodology?

Any strategies/tips/advice on closing BR gap?

How can I get my timed PrepTests to closer to my Blind Review scores? I'm averaging upper 150s/lower 160s while timed and upper 160s/lower 170s BR and I don't understand the disconnect. Should I just keep taking PTs and try to get comfortable with timing? Or does anyone have any other tips? TIA!!

I narrowed it down to (A) derisive condescension and (B) open dissatisfaction, and then picked (A) after referring back to the language about how Gilliam was "impatient" with strictly representational art. In retrospect, I can see how (A) connotes too strong of a sentiment; but I'm not sure what I could have gone back to or thought while solving under time to show that (A) is too strong and (B) is just right. Can anyone explain their thinking? TIA!

Hi everyone! I took the January LSAT and made a 161 which is a good score but I'm aiming for a 170. I started studying again right at the end of May. I've done five full exams so far with the following scores:

PT 74- 160 (Diagnostic)

PT 81- 162 (BR 164)

PT 79- 163 (BR 164)

PT 78- 164 (BR 166)

PT 67- 164 (BR 168)

I work full-time so I study in the evenings or early in the morning. During the week I typically complete timed practice sections and review them, going back to my notes or lessons when I need to. On the weekends I take a full exam and do BR. Then, I review the exam in-depth over a few days. I've improved a lot on LG but am still not quite there on LR or RC. Lately, I've been struggling more than usual on RC for some reason (I'm not sure why).

I was wondering what advice folks have for me. I've been staying positive and I think I'm genuinely improving every week but I just need an extra push to keep bringing my score up. I'm hoping to take the exam by the end of this year. Thank you in advance for your advice! :)

Has anyone tried the LR Mastery seminar from LSAT Hacks? Are methods compatible with 7sage?

Hey guys,

So I’ve been studying on and off for about two years made little progress and I’m starting to reaalize it may be the result of my learning disability. In high school I had a reader read tests for me. As far as I understand the lsat must accommodate test takers.

I was wondering what having a reader would look like for the test and if anyone here had used a reader on test day.

I plan to begin studying at the end of this week but I’m not exactly sure how I should take the test, in the sense that I should have someone read it to me.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Hello,

I realized that I am repeatedly getting inference questions wrong in LR and RC and am kind of confused about inferences in general. I also feel like I am not getting LG questions write because I have a hard time with inferences. Any suggestions?

Hello all,

I'm looking to form/join a study group. The idea is to form a group(s) of 3-4 to go Blind Review sections together, discuss strategy on sections, and help ourselves find flaws and better methods forward.

We'd BR together on weekends via Zoom. I'm not dead-set on taking it in November but will definitely be taking it in January.

Either comment on the post or send me a direct message and we could start this upcoming Saturday/Sunday.

hi,

does anyone know what the time options are for flex registration?

thank you!

I'm working on addenda for one of my applications and noticed I've got some overlap happening. C&F asks about "sanction or discipline" from an academic institution, which I'm assuming includes academic probation which I was on for withdrawing from too many classes.

Then there's a GPA addendum prompt which asks for an explanation if "grades for one or more semesters were markedly different from those in the other semesters" which also applies to me, once I transferred my GPA was significantly higher. My explanation for this is that I was working 40 hrs a week on top of a full course load and 19 year-old me didn't have the time management skills to make it work. This is more focused on, here's what happened, here's what I learned, here's proof I did better.

How do I write the C&F addendum without it sounding like I'm reiterating what I wrote in my GPA addendum? Just facts and no "lesson learned?"

*If it matters at all I'm old now and the semesters in question were 11+ years ago and I've been done with undergrad for 7 years.

I am looking for a study buddy for the last days leading up to August exam.

I've been averaging about 172ish, though fluctuating a lot (over the past month, lowest score was 170 and highest was 180).

I'd really like to shave a few points off that and think having a partner to talk things through with might be beneficial.

About me: I am older than average (mid-30s), have taught at college-level, and like cats.

Send me a message if this sounds useful to you.

You should be able to schedule your test now if you already have a ProctorU account. Not sure if the reset password trick still works if this is your first flex text.

Hello guys,

Im a bit confused about the difference between these two types of grouping games. For repeating item type games, it's often really helpful to make a chart, but for int games the explanation videos almost never include making a chart. How can you tell these game types apart? Whats the different between interchangeable items and repeating items, and how can you tell quickly if a chart a good idea or not?

Thanks!

Hi All!

I am preparing my application materials for the upcoming cycle including various essays (personal statement, etc.). I noticed that there is a compiled list on 7Sage of the required/optional application materials for schools. However, for some schools there are optional essay topics listed that aren't listed on the schools' websites (ex: Cornell). I was wondering if that means that there are questions that we only have access to after the application cycle begins.

Thanks in advance!

Also this is the link to the application components site (https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/application-requirements-for-top-schools/#Harvard%20University)

Hi all!

I just reserved a time slot, 4:30PM PDT, for my August Flex. However, I just realized that in the previous email of LSAC, the times available are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Does it mean no time slot can be selected after 4 p.m. PDT? Does anyone have similar issues?

Thank you for your help in advance!

I am scoring about 4/5 points lower then goal score, but on those PT I am getting -5/-6 LG . This is my best section and I am usually lower then that but lately have been higher and not sure why. I know I can go -0 or MAX -2, but not doing it recently. When I BR I just shake my head because I fix the couple little mistakes so quick and wonder how I even ended up at that AC timed. I have full proofing all LG from 1-35 now so maybe it's because I have been doing too many games ?? not really sure and looking for advise to tweak up LG before test. Thank you!

Title.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

RC is by far my worst section-- and the most inconsistent which worries me. I can go from -3 to -8 between preptests.

I find that on preptests I get a lot of inference questions wrong. I'm usually able to eliminate the obvious wrong AC fairly quickly BUT I ALWAYS select the trap AC.

I was wondering how other people tackle these problems and if anyone else has similar problems with inference questions!
