Perhaps the magazine has worked for you, but I find the economist to be very soft reading material and unsatisfactory for RC improvement. For a food analogy, It's like chewing Gerber baby food, when RC passages are like tough sinewy steak.

However, I will say that what seems to work for me is reading philosophy books, in particular books by Daniel dennett. I'm currently reading his book Intuition Pumps, and after reading a few chapters of it, when I do rc passes, I feel myself breezing through them. (I know he's most famous as a new atheist, but his philosophical insights are his most impressive contributions to thought in my opinion).

If you're struggling with RC give him a try. Freedom Evolves, Brainstorms, etc. He has many books from decades of writing. Also, consider that every lsat question you've ever read was written by someone who was either a philosophy PhD or in pursuit of a philosophy phd. The two subjects , LSAT and philosophy, seem to be almost the same thing. Best luck to all, keep studying!

As the title... is it in the prep tests section?

I'm starting late and planned on taking the test in October to be in the earlier pool of applicants. My GPA is 3.73 before uGPA and raw diagnostic was 148. Because my stats aren't great, I feel like applying early is my only shot. Do I even have a chance?

I've been doing a lot of drills lately but I'm starting to worry that I will ruin my ability to do practice tests if I become too familiar with all the questions. Is there a way to avoid spoiling respective PTs while still completing a sizeable number of drills?

I have been preparing for a couple months now and I am trying to create study group of ambitious students looking to score a 170+. As a group we will preferably meet online and use Slack or Discord to chat keep each other accountable, and have meetings together to talk about certain sections to improve.

Reply to this post or feel free to text my account on 7sage. Hoping to meet you all!

Aloha! I had submitted my application last month but through looking in the discussions and my email realized I never got an email and I wasn't signed in to the account, is there anyway someone can see if my application was received.

Maybe I'm being extra hard on myself but just the Core Curriculum is taking forever! It's taken me 2 months of full time studying.

I'm spending the time to truly absorb everything though which I already am seeing a payoff when intuitively understanding the questions and getting them right.

How long did it take you guys to get through the foundations, Logical Reasoning, and Reading Comp? This is for the new format without Logic Games.

I'm taking the test in Oct/Nov so want to make sure I give enough time to drill the crap out of everything and do tons of PTs.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

I read online that Ctrl+F was replaced by a new search feature. Is this true? If so, are there any notable limitations to its replacement, such as character count? What will the new search feature look like? Is there a way I can try it out prior to my official LSAT?

I haven't been able to consistently do better than -10 on LR, though I am not missing a certain type of question- it greatly varies. Would it be more likely to be a result of carelessness/overthinking, or a fundamental issue? How should I approach trying to fix this?

I tried to use the strategy of flagging questions that I am not 100% sure, but I couldn't find the flag button for the 7sage practice tests. Could someone please help an apparently blind man?

When it comes to LR, I've noticed that I tend to get the higher difficulty questions wrong. I feel as though I have a solid fundamental understanding of the concepts, question types, and methods of thinking, though I still consistently get the more difficult ones wrong. I know it may be a bit ironic since that is the point of higher difficulty questions, though I would like to be able to conquer them before my August LSAT. Any tips?

Hi everyone!

I'm looking to form a study group in downtown Toronto for the September LSAT, aiming for a score of 170 or above. We can meet either in person and virtually.

The main goals for our group will be:

I'm preparing for the September 2024 LSAT and would love to connect with someone committed to regular, consistent study. If you're dedicated and interested, message me!

I took PT 132 recently and did really well on everything except the experimental section. On the regular RC section I only missed 2, but on the experimental RC I missed 10. Should I spend as much time reviewing the experimental questions as I would if I missed regular questions? I don't want to waste study time if the exp questions are always changed or aren't indicative of regular answer patterns, etc.

I'll be taking my first LSAT in August, and I plan on taking it in-person. I was wondering how the conditions are like?

Also, is it true that the in-person centres use computers and the same interface as remote test takers? I just want to make sure this is the case, as I've never done a PT on paper and don't want to

Is it possible to import preptests taken on LawHub into 7Sage? Has anyone ever done this, beyond manually completing the exam with your answer choices on 7Sage?

Hello! I have already secured the LoRs for the upcoming application cycle. Do we need to wait until the cycle begins to enter recommender information and ask them to upload letters? Or can the recommenders upload the letters now, and the letters can be used in the upcoming cycle? Thank you!

While going over the formal Lawgic section, I was thinking about what questions type do we use formal Lawgic? For example, is it in Sufficient assumption questions, Flawed, etc.? IDK help?? I would like to look at some questions and try to use formal Lawgic.

I am looking for a study group/partner to study for the LSAT and write in November. I live in Durham area (Whitby), but I am open to meet in Whitby, Ajax or Pickering. If you are interested, please let me know :)

I'm looking for people to study together in long island area for this summer. I live in Garden City.

I plan to take the September lsat. My pt score range is around 170-175 and I hope to score 175+ in September. Please send me a message if you are interested in studying together!

Good morning, all!

I'm Orlando Florida. I plan to study at UCF (or anywhere in the area) every Wednesday. I'm in the high 150s, to mid 160s. My goal is a mid 170s. Is there anyone who would like to join?

Hi everyone, I was thinking of creating an LSAT studying Discord channel for all who are interested and are planning to take the LSAT some time between August and December 2024. Was thinking we could make specific channels based on LR vs RC, advanced vs beginner, etc. Let me know if you have interest by emailing me (or DMing).

Hey guys looking for some study buddies to hold each other accountable for LSAT prep!

Are you curious about how the application review processes work at different law schools within the T17? What do these law schools want to receive from applicants? How should candidates strategize written materials and communications?

I am taking the August LSAT, and I have consistently pointed one point lower than my diagnostic-- I think I've taken 6-7 tests. I am on RRE, and I've been taking the course in syllabus order. Should I skip to my weaker sections? Or should I consider a different prep site?

Hello!

Could anyone explain to me why answer choice B doesn't mimic the flaw in the stimulus like answer choice C does? I watched the video and spent some time with it on my own, but I am still lost! This is the question on artificial sweetener and aspartame
