I was in between A and C, and still don't understand how C is correct and A isn't

C: when comparing frighterning and non-frightening experience there is not a direct correlation because some positive experiences also release adrenaline therefore more memory retention

A: when comparing frighterning and non-frightening experience there is not a direct correlation because in some of the intense experiences, there is less memory retention

Hey everyone! Looking to form a study group for the August LSAT, so focusing mainly on LR/RC. Planning on doing practice tests/sections, reviewing wrong questions, etc. Currently practice testing at around 157-160, goal is 165-170+. Let me know if you're interested!

I plan on taking the June test and my numbers for LR/LG are almost right where I want them to be. However, I am struggling to see results in RC. Does anyone have any tips that helped them have a breakthrough or see more progress in RC?

Hi, I encountered a technical problem during my practice test. I had no time for a screenshot, but what happened was that the left-hand question stimulus was jittering, and the sentences were rearranging themselves. It happened only once, during 1 game in a single LG section. See below example to see what I mean.

One moment the stimulus would look like this:

No two films can be released

on the same date. The release schedule is

governed by...

And one second later, this would be rearranged to:

No two films can be released on the

same date. The release schedule is governed

by...

And so on & forth, making the stimulus extremely hard to read and making it a huge distraction throughout the entire game. I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again, so putting it here. Thanks in advance to the immensely helpful administrators!

Hello,

I work full time Mon-Fri and planning on taking the August 2024 LSAT. I typically study 3-4hours on a weekly basis. This would be my third time taking the exam and have decided to take a different studying approach. Would love to connect with folks in NY for weekend study sessions who would also benefit from these study sessions.

Thank you and good luck to you all!

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get some tips on what to expect for taking the exam remote. I am taking the April next week and want to make sure I don't run into any issues during my exam, so I would appreciate any advice on things to do before the exam in terms of setup. Thanks!

Hi,

I am in the range of 161 - 165 (my last LSAT score was 163). Looking for a study buddy who could discuss difficult questions with me or a buddy who might have lower average scores but need tutoring. Just think this is a good opportunity to obtain new perspectives on the LSAT and analyze challenging questions to improve LSAT skills together. Commitment is two/three hours per week.

how likely do we think that one of these will show up on the June LSAT? I absolutely hate these games, but I don't want to waste study time going over them instead of the harder grouping and sequencing games.

Using Preptest 48 as a reference, here's where I'm at

LR: -5

LG: -4

RC: -8

I put some more effort into RC drills since taking PT48, and I'm consistently getting 1 wrong per passage while sticking to an 8:30 time limit per passage (as an aside, part of the reason for the -8 was I took too long on the earlier passage, leaving me about 6.5 mins for the final passage. 3/8 misses came from there).

I'll put a little more work in RC to lock that consistency in, but I want to get thoughts on how I should spend my remaining week of LSAT prep. Assuming I'm consistently hitting -4 on RC, where should I devote the bulk of my remaining time?

I've taken on a new approach of drilling with the timer off so I can take time to understand each question and answer and start to recognize the patterns. The problem is sometimes it takes a while for me to understand a question, and I can be very far off from the target time. Will I get faster with more drilling? Doest anyone else take this approach? or is there a better approach

So my goal is to apply t-14 but I'm in a semi unique situation with my GPA. Over my last 20 practice LSATs I've scored a low of 173 and a high of 180. I'm expecting my official to fall somewhere in the middle. But my GPA is... not great.

I went to college right after graduating in 2013 I had undiagnosed autism and adhd, and was just generally unprepared for academic life. I got academically dismissed after my 3rd year (I had NOT passed 3 years worth of credits) with a 1.6 cumulative GPA.

In the 7 years since my dismissal I started a business that did multiple millions in sales (nowhere near that much in profit lol, it's an incredibly low margin industry), got married, had a kid, got treated for autism, and just in general learned much better habits. My dream had always been to go to law school, so I decided to reenroll in school to finish my undergrad. I've fairly comfortably earned a 4.0 in each semester since reenrolling. While my school technically "expunged" my transcripts of my old grades, but let me keep the credits toward graduation, obviously my CAS GPA takes everything into account. So as of right now the maximum GPA I can have by application season is a 2.49. A pretty significant gain from my 1.6 but nevertheless far below what I need to get into a t14

Finding information on what to do as a splitter has been difficult, because if we were only counting what I'd done since reenrolling last year, I wouldn't be a splitter at all. I would assume that because there's an 8 year gap between the two it's fairly explainable what happened, but obviously there are plenty of qualified applicants that get rejected from t14's each year.

I'm not sure what it is specifically that I'm asking, but I'm curious as to what thoughts or insight people can share about my situation. Anything is appreciated!

When I tell you this test is beyond discouraging. I’m trying so hard and feel like I can’t manage to master this test. I know I’m not dumb and capable of learning but this test is making me feel that way and feeling as if I can’t get into law school. This is like my 5th time taking it and I just don’t want to study this anymore.

Hey guys, just wondering when you guys do practice tests, do you usually do 3 section tests or 4 sections? I’m writing in April and June and not sure if I should always do 4 sections or alternate. Thank you in advance!

I chose answer A because it seemed like the right answer, which I think is a trick of the test writers as a first answer choice. I didn't read answer choice B and skipped over it.

On Tuesday, April 16 at 8pm ET, join 7Sage admissions consultants Tajira McCoy and Sam Riley for another panel discussion with law school admissions deans from across the country. For this conversation, hear from representatives of Boston College, Catholic University, Howard University, Loyola University Chicago, Loyola Los Angeles, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as they weigh in on navigating commitment deadlines and waitlist considerations. Audience members will be invited to participate in Q&A.

Hey everybody!

I'm sure many of you just got the email regarding the writing sample opening tomorrow. Does anybody have any thoughts, advice, etc. on completing this? I felt as though the email could have included a bit more information.

Specifically I am wondering how much time I should allot since it seems like we have to complete it in one go once we launch the session. Also, I am wondering how much of an impact overall this has on your test results considering it is not scored.

Any general advice from people who have completed this before would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance and good luck to everybody taking the test in less than 2 weeks!

Hi everyone, I am brand new to anything law related lol and studying for the LSATs. I am watching the videos according to the study schedule on here. I would like to know how I should start with the LSAT live teaching classes? Or should I watch all videos first before taking live classes? There are many to choose from, but which class should I take first to familiarize myself more with the LSATs for beginners? How can I find that class to start with?

God Bless, thanks!

Hi everyone, my name is Tony Conigliaro and I am a senior at Boston University. I am planning to take the LSAT in August, and was wondering if anyone else on here is from Boston and would like to study together?

Anyone taking the LSAT in August or September of this year? Study Group? This is my first crack at it so I'm kind of nervous, but I am excited to start.

going through core curriculum rn for LR. Should I consistently drill at hard?

Hi guys! I'm set to take the upcoming April exam and my goal is 175+.

Right now the diagnostics look okay, as I am consistently scoring above my goal - anywhere from 175 to 180.

But what worries me is how often it turns out to be that our actual scores are much, much lower than our practice exams. I was scoring around 168-9 last year, when I first took the exam, and fell 7 points on the real exam. Yes, a score to be proud of, but I was crushed.

Maybe it's pointless, but I'm just looking for some hope and reassurance that with some good work, my scores will turn out okay:) An additional question to not just the 175+ scorers but everyone here, what were some of the issues that caused you to get a much lower score than your practice exams? For myself: it was not realizing how much RC/LR performance can deteriorate when you're panicking:)

Everywhere else I read says LSAT has gone back to having a fourth unscored section. But looking at the three options offered on the prep tests here confused me a little. To confirm, will there be an experimental section for the August LSAT?

The prep test starting page gives the three options below:

Plus, it seems like in the past the experimental sections has always been LR. Is it possible that the August test could have an additional RC question instead? How did the LSAC test new RC questions in the past?

Thanks for your time!

On full PTs, I scored a 178 and 179 in my PTs and then was scoring slightly lower at 173-176, but now I’ve scored 172 twice in a row. I can see I’m capable of that near perfect score, but now I am worried about the recent decline especially as I get close to the April test date.

For the entire time, I’ve been taking a full PT and blind reviewing on weekends and taking 1-2 sections on weekdays to take 2-3 tests a week.

Has anyone else experienced similar score declines and how did you combat them?

Not sure if this is just me, but it looks like there aren't any discussions under new PT questions now. But I know that these PTs aren't actually "new," but just mixed questions from old PTs. Is there a way to get these discussions from past PTs into these "new" PTs? Seeing people discuss questions is super helpful to me! #help

Thank you!
