Posting here once again to source ideas for my LSAT study group. We do study groups (loophole and PT BRs) and game nights (kahoot and jeopardy) on a near daily basis but if anyone else has ideas please lmk. We have also been having some sessions dedicated just to conditional logic. Can add people if there’s interest in joining. I also have the links to a couple other groups so can invite people to those too

Does the AI drill builder feature draw from recent PT's (like the 5 most recent)? I want to make sure I can take them without using questions that I will use within my next few prep tests.

I have been struggling with timing and anxiety with the clock running, which I feel like is developing because I keep over thinking even the simplest of problems. I recently took a preptest and got a 161 timed and my blind review was a 171. Pretty big difference, and proud of myself for the blind review score. Most of my mistakes come from logical reasoning. I actually usually have about 1 1/2 minutes at the end of each section.

Any tips on how to learn how to close this gap that have worked for you guys?

Hi everyone,

I'm averaging around the 170 mark, and I'm looking for some ideas and variations for my drills. How many questions should I include in one drill? If I'm missing mostly the harder LR questions, should I do, say, repeated drills of 5 questions on "hard" mode (I personally found this to be kind of underwhelming, which is why I'm questioning if it's a good method.)?

I would also love to hear any drill-setups that others have found useful – things like the doing the first 15 questions of an LR section in 15 minutes, or targeting specific question-types. Any help would be really appreciated!

If you’re interested, comment your discord info and I’ll friend you and add you to the group

Hello,

I have reached the final logical reasoning question type: parallel or analogy. This question type has highlighted how much I struggle with mapping out formal logic. It isn't necessarily that I don't understand the principles, but rather, where to begin? Once I watch the explanation video and see the first step, I am able to fully understand how to continue, it's just the initial step.

Furthermore, I especially struggle with identifying all of the different logical reasoning ploys, i.e., reason by analogy, appeal to authority, sample to population generalization, and so on.... It seems like there are so many different subtypes that it's difficult to remember them all. Does anyone have a cheat sheet which simply explains all of these niche logical reasoning tactics?

Thanks so much,

Sav

Hi gang,

I have been trying my best to implement a low-res summary approach to my RC passages. However, I find that taking time to perform these low res summaries takes some precious time away from actually answering questions. Is one word sufficient enough for something like a low res summary? Any tips out there for time reduction?

Sincerely,

Your Friendly LSAT Studier

During Blind Review are we allowed to look at our notes/ other materials to help us with questions or should we not look at any external resources?

My BR score has remained in the mid 160s with 166 being the highest, 164 being the lowest over the past 4 PTs. There is no question type that I am particularly struggling with, most of my wrong answers I just did not fully understand what I was reading. As for my timed scores my first PT was a 148 and it gradually has gone up each test with the highest and most recent one a 160. What do other people recommend I do? My goal for BR is to get it around 172-175 and my timed to be high 160s latest by January, hopefully by November or October. Should I just take practice tests over and over until it goes up? Is there any specific strategy I am missing? Side note: If anyone is in my same position and has the same goals would you like to get in touch and chat / study occasionally in discord? I am enrolled in school so I am taking 1 PT a week atm and drilling other days.

Is there any way we can reset the drill questions we have completed in the past but still save our completed prep tests? I want to redo questions ive done a long time ago since I dont have too many fresh prep tests left but the only way I can do this is if I reset my completed prep tests too and I dont want to do that. If this isnt possible, can an option be implemented to allow for this.

I had drafted my essays for Yale in 11pt font prior to reading that they require 12pt. Anyone have a perspective on how much wiggle room their "approximately" language provides? Feel free to comment or just respond to the poll below.

Example directions are: "The optional essay should be approximately one double-spaced page, formatted in a professional 12-point font,"

Hi, I am looking for a study partner who speaks Portuguese.

I am kind of confused about why half of the questions I've done on a skill builder lesson disappear

Been finding Net Effect Questions to be a challenge. Anyone have tips on how to identify these questions. and then how they approach them. Cost-Benefit Net Effect questions are pretty straight forward its the more nuanced net effect question types that give me more of a challenge at the moment

hi! i would love to connect with a current student at UNC, i have been having a hard time finding current students to chat with, and it's my #1 choice! please let me know if you know anyone that would be willing to have a quick phone call or email exchange. good luck to all!

Does anyone know if and how to view your LSAT Argumentative Writing submission after it has been completed?

Hi all!

I am currently scoring in the high 150s - low 160s with a pretty solid understanding of the curriculum.

What I find really helpful in learning is by teaching others. This forces me to verbalize my thought process and consider questions that I may not have thought of. With that said, I would like to offer my explanations/insights to anyone that have specific questions or just want a new set of eyes in general.

If you are interested, please message me 1 or 2 specific questions you need help on. We can then try to arrange some time to jump on Discord where I will attempt to explain it to you and you are free to ask any questions.

Note - this is by no means any form of tutoring, but I think we can both benefit from it. If there's anything I can't answer, we can try to figure it out together.

Hi everyone! I have a discord LSAT study group with 25 members and it's a very new group with mainly Loophole students. But we're starting to drill more via 7Sage and have scheduled a few group drilling sessions this week. We'd love to welcome anyone who would like to join our Wrong Answer Review session tomorrow and a 10 Questions or Die session on Saturday!

The Discord invite is https://discord.gg/EsVqSsRU. Or you can just add my Discord user (cutiminti). Hope to see some of you there :)

Any advice besides reading more to improve in the reading comprehension section ? Structure, timing or types of questions?

So far I have been doing Bottom line but I have not seen much improvement.

Looking for study buddies who are willing to out in the work and hold themselves accountable.

Hi all,

I started studying for the LSAT about eight months ago, and I started seriously studying/taking PTs in the last four months or so. I have consistently faced the issue of not being confident enough whenever I am on timed sessions. I see myself changing my answers from correct to wrong answers on LR. I am current in the low 160s 161-164 range, and every time I BR, all the correct answers are so obvious. My BR is in the 170s. But whenever, it is under time, either I don't see the correct answers or I just get so fixated on the wrong answer. I also have had problems with except questions. I would think to myself that it is an except question, and then by the time I get to the last answer choice I just forget that I was dealing with the except question. Any advice on mechanisms/strategies on how to improve confidence/preventing careless answers? I have been trying to do some strategies like, pointing at ACs as I read through. My RC could also be better, like around -4. -5 right now. I get to -2 or 0 when I BR for RC. For RC, my main issue is with rushing the last paragraph when I get freaked out.

I was hoping to take the October LSAT, but it seems like I might have to withdraw and shoot for November. Any advice for whether or not I should sit for October? This is mainly also because I have taken it twice already and once canceled/ one in the 160s. Thank you.

Hello, I have been reluctant in requesting my transcript from National Clearing House. When I input the mail address directly from the LSAC website it tells me the address cannot be found.

Has anyone used the email option from National Clearing House and was it accepted? I'm hesitant about the email option since it says it will send my transcript as a link... If you have please include what email you listed it being sent to!

Thank you!

Worst part about being up and at 'em at 8 am is that I have to wait 2 WHOLE HOURS before live classes start :( Like what do i even do with myself???
