Hello All,

My name is Manny, I'm recently reinvesting my time into studying for the LSAT as I had put it off for sometime. I'm looking for a study buddy or even a group of study buddies to help keep us all accountable for our LSAT practice. My idea was to have a set time that we could either go over materials together or blind review practice exams together. I'm not entirely sure, I've always studied solo before, but I feel like having someone else go through this LSAT material with me could be beneficial for us both and keep us motivated to do better and study harder.

I was looking for someone local to me or at the bare minimum in my Timezone (U.S. East) but because Covid pushed everything online it actually works out better that we focus on meeting online. So provided we can agree on a set time to link up it'll be golden and everyone is welcome.

Speaking of schedules I work full time but my weekends are clear and my schedule is somewhat flexible given that I work from home.

My goal is to take the test again in the second half of 2021 although I am taking the April test just as a "lets-see". I hope to hear from you guys! If you're interested reply here or shoot me an email. ERamos0321@icloud.com

Peace, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year. Let's all get into Law School next cycle!

Hi, please offer your advice! I have now finished LR and RC core lessons - I have no more lessons next. I have decided to take no LG August version, so still have -AMPLE- time to study. I am currently scoring in the low to mid 160's (last PT I scored a 164) and my dream score is 170+. I am extremely determined to get into a T6-T14 and have allocated the time to get my score where it needs to be.

My question is - now that I have finished all the core curriculum... what's next? Should I focus on drilling LR and then RC, work on my problem areas, then begin regularly PTing? Should I switch to books, then go back to 7sage in a few months? I have the Loophole book ready to read. Should I wait to consistently PT until the beginning of Spring to save my tests for when I'm more ready and closer to test date? Should I be focusing on drilling everday? Redo the lessons?

Really just asking what your next steps would be / what your study plan would look like. Any advice is helpful, thanks and good luck to you all!

Hi, I've recently improved quite a bit in reading comp in my past practice tests, scoring in the -0 to -4 range in timed and/or BR typically. However, sometimes I feel as though I take too long on certain passages and especially questions. At times I only have a handful of minutes when I start the last passage in a set, sometimes not being able to get through all the questions with a proper analysis and answer attempt. I usually get the hard and hardest questions right when I do invest the time but I still just always spend too much time it seems. I like investing a lot of time into understanding the passages I'm reading, breezing through questions quicker than the marked expected time according to the analytics, but taking longer than expected to read the passages.

Should I simply be more willing to lower my odds of getting some questions right in order to get a proper attempt at every passage and question in a set?

Hi everyone!

I am an upcoming senior at a university and will be graduating in a total of 2 years! Therefore, I was not able to declare my major yet, but am set to declare during winter break with my counselors; should I wait to apply until then, as my transcripts will reflect 'Undeclared,' or should I apply earlier and provide context that I am finishing my final requirement in the fall? Thank you for your time!!

I have a rough draft of a PS and need some detailed feedback as I go into a second draft. If you're interested in swapping, ideally with a quick (24 hours or less) turnaround, please pm me !

hi, after taking the LSAT last August I am gearing up to take it again. I have done most of the course work on 7sage but tried to take a practice exam recently and realized I had forgotten a lot. I want to know what is the best strategy for studying, should I begin the course from scratch and watch all the videos?

Hi everyone,

I am just beginning my LSAT study journey and working through Foundations in V2 of the CC. For the quizzes such as complex arguments, for, since, because and others how many times have you guys retaken the quizzes to get the correct answers?

Here is what I am doing:

If I get the question right on the first try I do not retake the question. However, if I get it wrong, I retake the quiz and answer the questions until I get them correct twice.

What do you guys advise?

Hello! I took the June 2023 LSAT and got a score I'm really happy with, but I am looking to retake in August so I can score a few points higher, which will hopefully put me above the median LSAT for a few of my top schools. I've been taking PTs (both timed and untimed) and reviewing them, however I can't seem to get a score above the mid-160s. Any advice on how to break out of this plateau? I'm not really sure what my next move should be.

I am registered to take the Aug LSAT and been "prepping" since April. Today I took another full length test (3rd one so far), and scored a 159 which is my highest score yet and a 4 point increase from my first practice test that I took at the beginning of April. In that time, I have been focusing mostly on LGs with some LR (necessary assumptions, flaw, and POI mostly). The majority of my improvement came from LGs, went from went from 13 incorrect to 7 incorrect. My LR score has stayed consistent across all three practice tests (around 60% correct), and my RC score has decreased from 100% to around 80%.

My target score is 167. Does that sound realistic based on my current progress? or would ~163-5 be more attainable? Also, what area should I focus on most to generate the greatest score increase in the remaining study time that I have? One item of note, because of a change in more work schedule, I have ~10 more hours to study per week that I have had in the previous months. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there!

I'm looking for a study / accountability partner to study with, with a focus on reading comprehension, and also support one another with the other aspects of the LSAT, the application, and the stresses of the test.

I am averaging 161 and aiming for low 170s.

I live in Los Angeles (the valley) and would like to study or hold discussions over zoom mainly. I am open to in person as well. I'd really like to drill down on RC so ideally it would be with someone who also wants to master RC. Alternatively, I can pair with someone who is good at RC but needs help with LG. I am pretty good at LG and happy to help.

Shoot me a message if interested.

This is a MSS

By reading the stimulus and knowing were looking for a MSS. I can deduce that because some of the funghi that grows on the forest floor provided by dead logs are beneficial to some of the trees, than answer choice A is correct.

B We don't know

C We don't know

D We don'tknow

E Here they talking about Dead and decaying trees, the stimulus is referirng to Dead logs, which is different

Hi, sagers. When I took the digital LSAT in July, we weren't given stylus pens, so I wrote a note to LSAC and they agreed to send their own note to any school I apply to saying the test center made a mistake, and I felt good about that because I did end up canceling my score. But yesterday, we started 2 hours after the ticket time (how much is reasonable to expect? 2 hours seems excessive and it did make me a ton more anxious) and then had a false start: The director said, "OK, we will now begin the tutorial. Please press start." We pressed start and the real test began! So we lost about 30 seconds because people were yelling, "Wait, this is the real test! Stop it! Start it over!" and whatnot. There was also an incessant squeaking/beeping noise in the room near my desk, which I mentioned to administrators, but they couldn't figure out what was causing it. So at the end, one of the administrators told me that they will be sending a note to LSAC about the delay and the false start. He also told said they'd send another note that I specifically was distracted by a noise they couldn't stop. My question is, do I follow that up with another complaint e-mail to LSAC today or do I just leave it alone? I wouldn't want admissions people to think I'm a "problem test taker" or a complainer! But I do think there's a discrepancy between the test experience I've anticipated and paid money for and the actual experience I've had. Thank you for reading and pretty please advise if you have an informed opinion on this! #help
