Hey guys, I need #help on strategizing for LR sections. I've been studying for some time now, and I know that people say that the more you practice, the more you'll see a pattern in wrong answers and right ones. Idk if it's the fact that I initially took some long breaks in between completing the CC or if I'm just overthinking things, but I have not yet seen this pattern. Any and every tip is welcome, thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
I’m currently signed up for the November LSAT, but I’ve been feeling really stuck and could use some advice. My practice test scores are still in the 140s, and even though I’ve been studying consistently, I’m not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m aiming for at least a 157, but right now that feels out of reach.
I’ve been using 7Sage to go through the core curriculum and drilling with LSAT Demon (Basic plan), mostly focusing on Logical Reasoning and some Reading Comprehension. But honestly, I’m not sure I really know how to study. I watch the videos, do drills, and review my answers — but I don’t feel like I’m learning how to avoid the same mistakes or actually build better habits.
Reading Comprehension is by far my worst section. I feel like I’m always running out of time or just completely missing the structure and purpose of the passages. Logical Reasoning is a bit better, but I’m still not where I want to be.
I’m thinking about upgrading my Demon plan in October to get access to live classes and more targeted help, but I’m also wondering if I need to change how I’m approaching my studying in general.
If anyone has broken out of the 140s — especially using Demon or 7Sage — I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. How did you improve your Reading Comp? How did you review in a way that actually led to progress?
Thanks in advance — I really want to make this happen, but I know I need to work smarter if I’m going to reach my goal by November.
If I do a question or a section and get 100% then I do not have the option for the clean version and it does not show me what I put for the BR. For example this is Q14 which I got correct as an individual question and when I click Review it does not give me the options of clean, actual take and blind review.
If I do a question or section and I get at least one question wrong, then I do have the option for clean version and I can see the BR as well.
When I did the entire passage together and got some wrong then I see the option for: clean, actual take, and blind review.
As a control, I did a drill for RC and got 100% and just like my first example, I do not see clean version, actual take or blind review.
For every question, it only shows my actual take.
I really like the new score goal setting for the analytics (thanks!), but having taken over 2,000 questions it's really hard to gauge how much I'm actually improving, since moving the percentages takes a ton questions. If there was a way to see how I've performed over the last 2 weeks (or any user defined amount of time) in my analytics, in combination with how that aims towards the goal score, I think that would give me a better idea of how i look at this moment, as opposed to including a bunch of data from when i was really bad at this stuff.
Can someone PLEASE give me an easier way to learn reasoning?? Link Assumption, Casual Reasoning, and Conditional Reasoning seem to be the only consistent thing that im getting wrong. Or is there a class that specifically targets reasoning??
I love the highlighted bar that describes your accuracy on certain question tags relative to the 175+ scorer. It would be cool if there was another bar that also included timing. This could let me know if there are types of questions I spend much longer on without having to look looking at each individual question or drill set to see where I stand for timing.
I'm still in the Foundations section (a little over halfway through it). I thought I was improving my understanding of the formatting of these questions, but the last 4 LSAT test questions that have come up in the Foundations section, I've been completely lost and got all of them wrong because I got frustrated, couldn't map out the sentence structure and just guessed. Prior to studying, when I was taking test questions, I was averaging about 1/2 -3/4 correct, it just feels like I'm not making any progress and now I'm even backsliding. I take the test in February. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm wondering if it's because my brain is trying to understand the questions in a different way and it's just not there yet. Maybe it's the transition period? Looking for some advice. :(
I'm feeling beyond defeated with Reading Comp. I know we are not reading for detail, but I still feel like im missing connections that help answer the questions. I feel decent at understanding author's opinion, structure, and keeping low res summaries in mind. Any tips?
Hi everyone. I'm planning on taking the October test in a few days but I'm not getting past the mid 150s right now. I want to apply with at least a 160 but I'm not sure if that's achievable in a couple days. The problem is that I'm planning on applying this cycle and the next test I can register for is the January one. Last cycle, I took the January test and scored in the high 150s but wasn't accepted in an Ontario school. I'm wondering if the score was the main reason or if it was because my application was considered late because of the late LSAT. Are there considerably lower spots remaining to fill? Are they harsher on your application?
I'm now in the same predicament and can't decide whether I should opt out of this test and take it in January or just take my chances and see if I get accepted with the score I receive. I just don't want to ruin my chances again. Any advice would be appreciated (even if you're not applying in Canada). Thank you!
This is super last minute seeming as I have a couple hours to make the decision, if I only want to pay $45, but would score preview be worth it. I take the test tomorrow and I took a practice test and scored 156, ... this is my first time taking the test so regardless I would want to retake it, but would it be better to keep my score, assuming I do get a 156. Or if I retake it and score better would it not matter. I thought i decided against buying it but i think too much lol, any advice is helpful
I cannot seem to locate the jillion flagged questions I marked over the last few months. I can find the bookmarked ones, not the flagged ones. Any ideas?
What do you suggest when I am constantly getting 170s for Blind Review, but only 150s for actual runs for PTs. How should I plan my next steps for studying.
You can now choose what you want Analytics to recommend for Blind Review.
Hi everyone, I am feeling a little worried right now because only some of the schools, I am applying to require academic references (I'm Canadian) but i honestly do not have any super strong connections with profs. I am worried a prof will reject my request for a letter of reference as they do not know we well enough even if i did well in their course. Any Advice?
You can now drop the experimental section from your PrepTests!
It would be so helpful if we were able to do the Blind Review but without marks from "taking too long to answer the questions." I would prefer if the Blind Review would just let us know to check which answers are incorrect.
Hi everyone. I did the LSAT in September and got the results back. I want to know if I should keep or cancel the score.
I have only been studying since mid-July and wasn't expecting a high score considering I got a 136 in my first PT I ever did, and my last PT before the official exam was 147. I got a 147 in the official exam as well and planning to write the Nov LSAT again. My goal is 160(+).
Do you think I should keep the score or delete it? Does anyone know if the cancellation usually tends to have a negative effect on the application, or the schools look at the bright side and see improvement if I score higher in the Nov test?
I am also asking because I have only written the exam once, and the applications are due Nov 1. So is it better to have a low mark on file, or no mark at all before the application deadline?
I have all of my applications ready to submit. However, I wanted to give the LSAT one last shot, November will be my third time taking it. However, I was advised to submit my law apps mid October, notify the admissions boards that I am submitting my application but registered for the November LSAT and that my score will update with enough time for them to consider it before responding to my application. Is this an okay timeline or bad move?
Title lol. For reference, i'm not applying to any T-20 schools, and my LSAC GPA is above average.
You can import your LawHub PrepTests in your settings.
Should we auto-import your PrepTests by default? For example, we could periodically check if you have LawHub PrepTests and import them in the background, with a setting to opt out of this behavior.
To put the question another way, should LawHub import be opt-in (status quo) or opt-out?
I followed this video on 7sage: https://7sage.com/lessons/next-steps/how-to-practice-after-the-curriculum/how-to-blind-review-and-keep-a-wrong-answer-journal
When I open my preptest to review this section is missing, how do we access this section?
Hello,
Regarding reference letters, my references are asking who should these letters be directed towards. Should I ask them to put the names of admission officers as the recipient?
