I created a few Logical Reasoning practice sets for myself in Problem Sets but am finding that Reading Comp questions are mixed in....? Why are there questions that involve long articles and ask for the main purpose? I have never come across RC in my logical reasoning drills. The questions ask about the author and the passage and are not classified logical reasoning questions. #help

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! :)

Hi guys I'm in dire need of advice. I scheduled for the August flex thinking I'd have enough time to study and get the score I want, however, that's not the case at all. I'm 2 weeks away from the test. I tried to reschedule some time ago, but the deadline already passed. Has anyone ever tried rescheduling last minute with the LSAC before? and if it worked for you at all?

Hi I scored a 144 on the July LSAT flex with little to no studying. I'm scheduled to take the October LSAT and my goal score is a 155. If anybody is willing to either join me in a study group or be my tutor it'd be greatly appreciate! Willing to pay! Please get back to me, I need as much help as possible!

Hello! I started my RC section at a -4 on my diagnostic, and I've found that after studying the section, my score has gotten worse- going to a -7 or -8. Does anyone have any advice? Has this happened to anyone before? I wonder if I'm just overthinking the answers.

On my last four pt’s I have gotten -7 wrong on each one. In between each pt I foolproof all games from that specific test and continue to go through tests from 1-35 and the pts I completed recently. I have already foolproofed 1-35 as well. On each test I miss the substitution question, one or two total in the first three games, and then I get killled on the fourth game usually missing three or four. I’m hoping someone could give me some guidance on how to get my misses down on that last game. If I could do that I think I’d be in decent shape. On BR I am able to figure the games out and go -0 to -1, so I think I may just not be picking up on the inferences quick enough. Thanks in advance for any advice or tips you have!

I scored a 144 on the July flex LSAT and want to score a 155 on the October date. I barely studied the first time, is my goal score too unrealistic or is it realistic? Just need feed back, because I'm very worried. Trying to apply for schools, so I can attend next fall. Help!

Hi there! I am currently scheduled to take the August LSAT flex (it is now spread out over a week) and signed up for one on September 2nd. I know that typically you have until the day before the LSAT to drop out, but since this one was supposed to be on August 29th, I was wondering if anyone knew if I had to drop by the 28th or if I could drop on September 1st. Thank you!

I'm taking the LSAT Flex at the end of this month. My laptop's built-in mic hasn't been working for the past week and I learned, today, that replacing it would mean replacing the entire laptop. I have a desktop microphone I can use but I'm unsure of whether LSAC allows this while taking the Flex and I can't seem to find an answer online or get anyone from LSAC on the phone.

Anyone have experience with this?

LR has been one of the hardest sections for me to get a solid understanding of. I went back through the CC and redid all the lessons on conditional logic and it helped immensely. Since then, I have been going back through the different question types in the order of the CC syllabus. I have printed out problem sets by question type from PTs1-35. I do try to add variety to my problem sets. For example, I'll do 10 strengthening, 10 MBT, 10 SA , 5 SA, and 5 MSS on one day. I have been doing all these problem sets untimed. I will spend as much time as needed to answer the question. Once I am 100% confident, I will go ahead and check the answer. If I get it wrong, I write out a detailed response on why I got it incorrect. I have found that my accuracy and speed have started to get better with 1,2, and 3 star questions. However, the 4 and 5 star questions take me a long time. I can spend upward of ten minutes on a single 4/5 star question. I have found that the language of the stimulus for a 4/5 question is incredibly convoluted. At this stage, should I drill 4/5 star questions? How do you get better with these harder questions? For those who have done untimed drills, at what point did you start to incorporate time? Finally, how would do you determine whether or not you're ready to drill full LR sections?

Thanks in advance!

I keep on seeing a trend for myself that I keep on getting inference questions specifically the MSS ones wrong. I think my first issue is that while I identify its an inference I don't realize its MSS and lean towards more of a MBT questions. Anyone have any advice on how to identify and approach these questions? Thanks!

Hi all!

I've been having a bit of trouble with routine and structure in regards to a study schedule. I was wondering- how does your day to day look like when studying? Do you guys do 1 PT a week and X number of sections/ drills? What has worked for you/ what hasn't? What's reasonable to do in a day/ week, etc?

I just feel a little lost on how to study effectively (and not just study to say I did and waste materials). I need to build a structured routine so I can be self- disciplined and see results, and I know it varies for each person but I would appreciate any insight! TAA!

So I took the July LSAT and did not do well...like 4 points before my average not well. I am signed up for the August LSAT and I’ve seen a decline in my scores over the past 2 weeks. I know this is all in my head and related to seeing that bad score, so I’m looking for advice on how to overcome this and possibly a tutor to work with in the next week to help with confidence, especially in reading comp. Anything is helpful. Thanks!

Is the scaled scoring for flex style practice tests accurate? I'm finding discrepancies between my tests but can't tell whether they are due to different scales for different PTs or a problem with the scoring algorithm when using the Flex option. I'm trying to get an accurate idea of what my score might be!

Hey,

Planning on taking the October flex. I am PTing around 146-150 with goals of hitting around a 160 by October. If anybody would like to be my study buddy or even be a part of a study group. Please let me know!

Hey guys! I'm new here and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm also potentially thinking about joining a study group and/or looking for a study buddy... not sure yet though. I'm thinking it might be nice to have someone to share resources with, and discuss questions with. How does that work on here? I'm pretty hesitant to give out my personal info... but it looks like we can send private messages on here?

I'm thinking I will end up taking the June 2021 LSAT exam. I was initially shooting for November, but I only started studying at the end of June (2020), and I would love to unlock as much of my potential as possible.

My background is classical music, but going to law school is starting to become the dream I never knew I had. I'm particularly interested in social justice work, anyone else?

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and if nothing else I look forward to chatting with you all in the comments!
