Is it bad to have multiple score cancellations/ worse than scoring lower on your second test? I cancelled my first score in August of 2021, scored a 155 in November 2022, and now scored worse than a 155 (151) and do not know if I should cancel this score because of the decrease, or not worry because will the schools only care about my 155? I have only 24 hours left to decide to cancel or not and am so so so confused as to what to do... PLEASE HELP! Any advice GREATLY appreciated!!!!
Hello, if there is still an open study group accepting students for the June exam, kindly consider sending me an invite.
Hi, I’m working on the 12 LR Drilling sections for MSS questions, and I could use some tips for Blind Review. A lot of what I have listened to makes me as if Blind Reviewing would be more effective when doing PTs. But what i’ve been doing so far is watching the explanation videos for questions I get wrong and then writing down why I get them wrong and why the right answer is right. But I still seem to miss a couple questions during each drill. Any tips?
Hi all,
I've been studying for the LSAT for ~3 months now in preparation for the April LSAT, and I was consistently in the 166-170 range before finally hitting my target of 172+ (173) recently. What steps should I be taking to maintain this score in the month remaining before my test?
I take plenty of PrepTests and do lots of drills, but sometimes I feel like doing these drills isn't helping me learn -- like JY said in a video, it's almost like I'm doing them just for the bet of hoping I score well once I see my results. I also don't have one particular 'weakness', so I feel like going back in the curriculum isn't too useful.
Would really love any advice!
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!

Hey all.
I'm looking to start a study group or be a study partner in the SLC/Provo area.
Currently, I am scoring around 15high 16low and am drilling LG like crazy. I will be taking the LSAT in June, but I'm considering an April test as well. This will mostly be for accountability purposes and surrounding ourselves with likeminded people. I think we can also support each other in our admissions efforts when the time comes.
Message me on here so we can exchange information.
performed on the actual test.
I have been struggling in the LR section, especially in the middle to end of the section. After question 14/15, I tend to get mostly all the questions wrong getting about -10 to -12 wrong in this section. I really hope to improve at this section by the NOV 2021 LSAT. If anyone is kind enough to tutor me for about 3-4 hours a week it would be greatly appreciated. I can compensate you for the hours! I am looking to score in the high 150s, at best a 160. My LG is my strongest section as I occasionally only get about -2 or -3 wrong. I have decided not to prepare as much for the RC with the limited time I have as I feel LG would be easier to improve in the coming weeks. I am looking to get down to -5 or -6 on the LR. Let me know if anyone is able to tutor!! It would be very much appreciated.
Should I be BRing logic games? Or should I do the game timed, check answers and if necessary, foolproof?
Hi,
I live in Idaho, took the January LSAT and I am now preparing for the April LSAT. Looking for a study buddy in the same time zone so we can chat/zoom about topics. Message me if interested.
Thanks!
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.
7Sagers,
"Building Boards" with Raphael Piliero is cancelled this evening due to extenuating circumstances. Sorry for the inconvenience. Raphael's class will resume at its normal time next week.
Best,
The Live Class Team
So in the last 3 weeks (after 3 months of diligently studying the 7sage CC) I have scored the following:
89: 166 | 80: 164 | 62: 178 | 69: 172 | 82: 167
..aand I'm officially freaked out that the LR wording changes/increased difficulty beginning in the 80s are throwing me, as my RC and LG are both a lot more consistent ( RC -2-4ish and LG -0-2). Has anyone else noticed this in their scores and, if so, what did you do to try to counteract? Since PT80 I've been prioritizing wrong answer journaling, which feels like it's helping a lot, but perhaps to the detriment of more consistent drilling? I'm taking January and would obviously love to crack the elusive 17x barrier in ten weeks. I've been saving the 80s and 90s for the home stretch - but any advice is welcome before I trudge onwards.. #help
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 :)
So I've been noticing a trend lately where my RC score has been varying widely. Sometimes I'll score -4 and then the next day I'll score -10. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this problem and become more consistent on RC?
Just trying to prepare for the upcoming Nov LSAT score release....it was my second time taking the LSAT. First score was solid and good enough for most schools on my list but wanted to take Nov to improve a few points. Feeling like I did okay but always preparing for the worst—in the event that I ended up getting a lower score, should I cancel the second score??? Does whether I should cancel or not depend on how much worse the second score is? Any advice is welcome!

Taking the January test, looking for a study group. I don't go to UNCW so I've just been going solo for a bit.
