Hi all,
I have been studying for the LSAT for four months using Khan Academy, after increasing somewhat I eventually found myself plateauing, and at points regressing, while at the same time burning through practice tests. I recently joined 7Sage and find the explanations and lessons helpful, however with other responsibilities it is not realistic for me to complete all lessons and a substantial amount of practice tests in advance of the August or even Fall tests. Does anyone have any advice of your approaches?
Thanks in advance
1.By blind reviewing every single question, LSAT students save a lot of time and get their target score faster than students who BR only flags questions, while the latter group of students reviews individual PT quicker and takes more PTs.
Which one of the following, if true, would best reconcile the statement above?
A. Few LSAT students have detailed knowledge of LSAT theories about the relationship between BR and score.
B. By BR every single question, LSAT students are getting a deeper understanding of the material, and reinforce their technic for questions they got right.
D. ... your variant
Looking for a study buddy who's currently scoring either in the mid to high 160s.
My goal is to score in the 170+. Ideally, would love to BR LR & RC session, at least one each per week. Ideally EST would be great.
If interested DM me.
Hi everyone I was looking for a little bit of advice...
I started studying for the LSAT in December with Kahn Academy (I know horrible choice) with a diagnostic of 153. I improved to a 157 after two months hired a tutor and was PT between 167-173 before the July flex. I got a 167 and was not surprised as I felt I had made some mistakes on the games.
I am switching over to using CC and was wondering if anyone had any advice on navigating through it with the hope of taking the exam again in October. For reference my splits looked like LR: -0 to - 4 RC: -0 to -6 (most inconsistent section) LG: -0 to -3.
Thank you all in advance.
Hello,
Myself, elle.sat.woods180 and emaanc99
Are looking to add one more members to our study group. The reason you may have seen me post recently is because we are starting this study group this Sunday.
Our goal is to reach +170 scores for the 2021-2022 academic year.
The highest score I have received on the LSAT was a 167. I have scored 165 multiple times and my most recent LSAT scores have been varied from 160 to 167. I have taken approximately 80 LSAT Preptests. I only have 10 more. I took these tests in numerical order but also decided to take LSAT 89 and 88 because of their difficulty in order to prepare myself for the November/January LSAT. It did not work.
Our method of study is to pick LR/LG/RC questions/passages and blind review them. We will pick questions and passages based on their difficulty. We would spend an hour or two every weekend to meet as a group and go over the questions/passages that we selected.
The most beneficial way to use a study group in my opinion is to have the members of the study group verbally present an explanation to difficult questions they answered on either their LSAT Prep Tests or had on their general study and have the other members of the group try to question the assumptions and weakness of the explanation that was provided. The actual act of trying to explain an answer will help refine our own understating of the question and the exam overall.
This is the basis that I want to have for the study group. We will improvise and adapt when necessary but I expect us to have a rigid schedule so that we can see returns for our efforts.
Send me a direct message if you are interested in joining our group.
Thanks,
Hi all!
I just hit the 160s for the first time (yay!) it was a BR score so I'm not sure how consistent it will be going forward... but exciting nonetheless! My issue is timing, I score MUCH higher on every section untimed as I'm sure many others have experienced. I am looking for ways to learn to maximize my time in order to close this gap quickly.
I scored a 147 timed and a 163 untimed on PT 52 today - granted, I would typically score 154/155 timed but did not answer nearly all the questions, as I was trying to focus on maintaining accuracy.
Now that I seemingly am maintaining accuracy (thanks to my first ever 163, as well as other untimed sections where I was averaging similarly) I figured it made sense to begin focusing on timing and test taking strategy. In LR I feel that I often have to re-read the argument in order to get its gist, which I know is a huge waste of time - if anyone has advice on this specifically it would be helpful!
I can NEVER make it to the last RC passage timed, I assume this will just come with practice?
Here is the breakdown of my BR score for context:
LR1 - 21/25
LG - 23/23
LR2 - 17/26
RC - 18/26 (Q15 was removed from scoring from exam)
Thanks in advance!
