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!

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?

Hello, if there is still an open study group accepting students for the June exam, kindly consider sending me an invite.

I was thrown off by this one; even took a few times to read it before I realized what I did wrong. What I failed to recognize is that he seems to be assumed the reason for the complaints is the complainant's difference in political opinion; this has, in fact, not been demonstrated to be true.

Hello!!!

I'm looking for some study partners!!! I scored a 165 last year and I am trying to get a 170+.

Would love some mutual help/guidance/accountability to make sure I am getting in the study I can. I'm a full time graduate student in music composition at the moment, so it's a bit harder to get to studying than what I would have suspected...please reach out if you are interested! Thanks!!!

Hi

I am 98% done with the 7Sage CC. I am ready to tackle the practice tests. Does anyone want to study for them together in Gangnam? We can book a study cafe and use the room. We do not necessarily have to study the same thing

Should I be starting with V1 do the whole course than switch to V2? Or should I be doing V1 and V2 simultaneously? What has worked best and made easiest to understand?

Can anyone help me and explain why the answer chose is what it is?

Hi Future Litigators,

We're starting the most successful LSAT study group again. First time test takers learn the structure and most successful tactics to approach every section, while prior test takers looking to improve their score identify your strengths and weakness from seasoned experts who've all previously scored in the mid 170s

Join the groupme "LSAT Masters" https://groupme.com/join_group/101975292/YIPNEohF be added for the Zoom link.

We want to limit seats to make the group more personal and productive so we're limited to 40 seats each cycle.

Meeting twice a week for 3 hour midday 11am - 2pm and afternoon 7pm - 10pm EST sessions. First 20 mins of each session will include a group discussion to address updates, testimonials, and concerns. Followed by breakout study groups according to your goals and needs assessment.

Look forward to networking and building of our community's success!

Hi everyone,

JY often says that it's a good idea to scan the question types in a LG before deciding whether to split: if there will be more gameboards than questions without additional premises, then it's best not to split; if there are more questions without additional premises than gameboards, it's worth splitting.

I understand that it would be easy to scan these on paper versions of the test, but I am wondering whether others do this on digital versions of the test? Do people click through the questions to see what type they are before diagramming? Is this time efficient on the digital version of the test?

Thanks!

Hi, guys there are certain topics in logical reasoning that I would like to be more advanced in.

Those being:

Causation and Phenomenon-Hypothesis Questions

Some and Most Relationships

Can someone offer me additional videos, or what I can do to feel more confident in these lessons.

Please assist me in any way you can.

Best of luck to you all.

Does anyone know how we are supposed to review the questions we got wrong on the LR sections of the preptests if it dosent show us the question after we have completed the test?

Hello everyone. Since my diagnostic, until now I have gone up about 13 points but I am still yet to reach my goal of 165. I have taken countless PTs and have been drilling almost every day for the past 6 months. My biggest problem is managing my time. In the LR sections, I always finished with 5 unanswered questions. On the RC, I only get to finish 3 passages. I know some say that there is only so much more you can improve after having studied for a long time, but I refuse to believe that I have plateaued. There has to be a way.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to finish on time with accuracy?

Admin note: Edited title. Please do not post threads or comments in all caps. This is against the Forum Rules. Thanks!

Does anyone have a good estimate on this? I am trying to budget my line.

I am the type of person that really gets into details when doing questions.

Also, can you please tell me when I should do the drills? should I wait until entire LR section is completed or should I start drills when I start that section?

am i rushing through br? am i not flagging enough?

Hey do any of you guys have any experience with deferring from Spring to Fall semester?

I was recently offered admission at a school for Spring 2022 but I'm signed up for the January test and want to see if I can better my score?

Would it be okay for me to ask them to transfer my offer to Fall 2022 instead?

Thanks, any insight would be helpful.

I know CCv2 is suitable for the August 2024 LSAT given the removal of LG in June 2024, so I should probably pursue CCv2; however, I've already mapped out a 6mo study schedule with CCv1 which has ~820 courses whereas CCv2 has ~540. The minimized course offerings in CCv2 cut out ~2.5 months of study time. This is important because I want to pace my study schedule such that I am prepared for the August 2024 LSAT.

What's a good way to pursue CCv2 without majorly disrupting my study schedule?

Perhaps I blend courses from CCv1 and CCv2 to extend the study period or simply add more PTs to my new CCv2 study plan?

I am looking for someone who has been studying for the LSAT in the mid-160's and who is enrolled in Live Classes and is a fairly regular attendee and by regular I mean at least one session a day. I am looking for someone to talk to during class and by talk I mean exchanging specific questions about what the instructor is covering because I have noticed many times, questions and comments being lost in the chat, and they are never addressed so I hope this will help you as much as it helps me. if anything, it will help us to keep focus at least. and I mostly want to try to answer your questions so I won't be messaging you questions. the only exception will be during office hours because for those I leave once I have my question answered. And there aren't any obligations with this commitment; if for any reason we try this out and it doesn't work we don't have to have a formal discussion about stopping, we could just stop. During live classes, my name in the zoom will always be Ashley.

I have heard people say that using the "and" and "but" strategy for weaken/strengthen questions really helps them arrive at the right answer. The strategy is basically that when you are asked to strengthen the argument, you say "and" at the beginning of each AC, and when you are asked to weaken the argument, you say "but" at the beginning of each AC. People say this has been a "life changing" strategy for them, but I'm still confused on how this helps people discern which answer is correct. If you use this strategy, could you please elaborate on how you use it (perhaps with an example)?

hi all! I just got back my score from the September LSAT and my score went down from my previous test by 4 points.. should I submit an addendum for this? I’m reading mixed suggestions online..

For background context I applied last cycle in February (late I know, but I was wanting to get a decent score and wanted to be in school by this current fall) and was waitlisted pretty much everywhere I applied. I decided to r&r mid-july which left me with little review time before the September test date, which I wanted to take so that I could submit my applications like early since I’m planning on applying to the same schools I was waitlisted at. In retrospect I should've signed up for the October test and planned to submit by November rather than October.

Will this hurt my chances of getting accepted at my previously waitlisted schools? Should I explain this in an addendum or no..? Any suggestions help

Hi y'all! After 2.5 months of studying, I took the November 2023 LSAT and scored 15 points lower than what I want my dream score to be for my law school applications. I have taken a bit of a break in studying since, and decided this weekend I am getting back into the swing of things, so I am posting this for accountability. I knew then, and know now, that I personally needed more time to get the score I wanted and properly study for this test. However, I am now stressing what is the best date for me to sign up for. I know I want to give myself until at LEAST the June test date- I work full time and balancing work, working out, studying, and generally surviving can be tricky. However, I know June is also the last date that will have Logic Games - it is my favorite section of the LSAT, but from the few diagnostics I have taken, I am not particularly good (read: quick) at solving them for the timing of the LSAT.

With all of this, I am not sure if I should still be aiming to take the LSAT in June or if I should give myself even more time beyond that. I am really anxious and eager to submit my applications once my LSAT score is where I want it, and I am dreading the idea of applying in 2026, so I really want to make this upcoming year my year. In addition, I want to submit my applications as early as possible for the 2025 cycle so I can get that out of the way.

tldr I am feeling lost on how to structure my studying this month, and I don't know if Logic Games are worth my time at all. Any study tips, encouragement, advice, feedback would be greatly appreciated. Seeking out motivation and accountability so that all of us can succeed in 2025 and beyond!

Just finished PT 77 and my usual BR partner isn't responding, anyone up for some BR??? HMU

I originally picked C and didn't pick D - can someone confirm my rationale for why C is wrong and D is right?

C - Mentions that "very low" blood sugar levels could cancel out the high cholesterol levels, but the residents have normal blood sugar levels, so this is super irrelevant. Seems like LSAT is banking on fast and undetailed reading

D - If the residents have a genetic predisposition against vascular blockage, then that might explain why even with high cholesterol levels, they may have a counteracting force against the cholesterol levels

Hi! I have an accommodation to have the experimental section removed from the test all together. Is there any way to adjust PTs on 7Sage to reflect not having the experimental section?

Hi!

My friend who went to Yonsei UIC and I are starting an online LSAT study group. He has an official score of 176 and my score fluctuates from 166-172. I am not sure if this means anything but I have a degree from Johns Hopkins. We also have another member who scores around low-170s in the PTs.

We meet at 7 pm-9 pm Korean Standard Time on Wednesday.

I have a Zoom Pro, so we can meet without interruption.

We also plan to meet offline at Gangnam station for a group study or maybe even a dinner or drinks if we gather enough people.

If you are interested, please send me a DM and I will invite you to the KakaoTalk group chat!

Thanks! (:
