I don't know what I am doing wrong, or if I am just not smart enough for this test. I have been studying tirelessly on top of working full-time as a paralegal and being a mom of two. I have even hired a 7sage tutor and have now done 4 sessions with very little improvement. For context, my PTs prior to my November LSAT were in the high 140s. My actual score was 139 :/. I have been studying non-stop since and my PT scores are still 139! I don't understand, once I complete BR I can increase my score to 146. All I want is a 155+ for the January test so I can still apply this cycle. The test is 17 days away and I am no where near where I want to be.

I would love to hear how people have increased their score and what has worked for you in actually seeing PT scores increase...HELP!!

I recently purchase the 7Sage curriculum and was able to access and complete both drills and Preptests 4 days ago. Now when I go to do drills or take a Preptest it wont show me the questions unless I have a Law Hub account which costs $120. I am already paying $69 for this. I cannot afford both. Do I need to purchase the other account even though I purchased this one?

Thanks in advance

Hey folks! I'm restarting my studies after taking a break from this past July up until now. I got a 160 on the June '24 LSAT, and I'm hoping to bump that up closer to 170 either by this coming April or June. Any suggestions for warming back up to studying? I'm thinking starting off with untimed drills and moving more toward timed.

Is there a way to view my most recent drilled problems? I have a bank of questions that I've completed but I'm not sure when I completed them.

Over the past 9 PT's (taken over the last three months or so -- I've had to take roughly one PT per two weeks due to other commitments), I have been scoring basically 171-3. BR for these have ranged from 175-180. It feels like the most intense plateau. I usually get around 7-8 wrong, and they're pretty evenly distributed between the two LR sections and the RC section. My intuition tells me that LR is where I can squeeze out some more points (probably RC too, but I really think I have more to give with LR). But I'm totally unsure as to how to get those extra points. It's not like there is a common type of question that I get wrong, even though they generally tend to be the more difficult questions.

I have around 10 modern PT's left. I recently started taking one per week. I'm now wondering if I should space them out more so that I don't run out of material and focus more on drills. Trouble is, I am lost as to what strategy I should take for overcoming this plateau. I was hoping that others who have been in a similar place before and succeeded in breaking the plateau had some tips!

Hello everyone! @C_J_2020 and I have been prepping together and can consistently score in the upper 170's or 180. We have found that explaining questions really improves understanding of the test on a deeper level and would love the chance to help out some others while improving our consistency! We are looking for 160's and 170's scoring individuals to help tutor one on one or in a small group. If anyone is interested feel free to reach out!

I can get the easier WSE questions right, and the occasional 4/5 star difficulty questions right, but I have yet to get 5/5 on a hard difficulty WSE drill. I am getting frustrated. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach these questions? I feel like the method to the madness here is vague and therefore much harder to nail down.

If you are interested in being study partners meeting frequently 1-2 times a week please let me know! We are all in this together. I work a 9-5 but I am dedicated to studying after work! Score wise I don’t care! I think everyone can help anyone! I am also on the EST time zone.

I am retaking after getting a 165 on the Oct. test, and I am anxious about difficult LR sections. A predictions video online said that they are adding more formal conditional logic and questions about numbers. Does anyone know of any sections that have more questions like this? I felt like the October test was much more difficult than PTs but it could have also been my anxiety.

Serious question . How can you apply the read passage a first then eliminate / answer questions based on passages before going to passage b without taking more time to write down the options you do t like bc the law hub doesn’t allow you to cross out answer choices you don’t like o. Their interface the way seven sage provides the x. It makes me hesitant to employ that strategy when it seems like it would be more work to write down. All of the options you did not like as opposed to being able to x them out and definitively know how you feel. What do you guys do in this case or how do you theoretically approach that in your mind bc in mine it feels like it would be a waste of time and my 6 pages to have to list out all the options I didn’t choose .

I am a 21 y/o early college grad and while I took a “gap year” in order to really focus on the LSAT and Law School Apps, I’ve done the opposite so now i’m kind of playing catch up. I am registered to take the exam in January and really just looking to allocate some time to study with others going through the same thing. My motivation has been lacking as I’m the only one I know pursuing Law so I think this would be a great way for me to push myself to study while also connecting w others in similar situations!

Is the only option to practice is if we upgrade our LSAC account? Does 7sage not provide any tools for practicing with the subscription? I have the LIVE subscription.

I just got a question wrong because I was confused about bi-conditionals so I just want to clarify

If A(----) B, that does NOT mean that B(---)A, right?

The contrapositive of a bi-conditional in the form A(-----)B is /A(----)/B

Is this right?

For those who have taken the official test, how closely did your official score(s) align with your practice test score(s)? I've been doing pretty well on practice tests, but the imposter syndrome is real and it feels like there's no way I'll do this well on actual test day.

Hello, I'm scheduled to take the LSAT this coming January but I am wondering if I submit my applications beforehand?

Also, does anyone know whether submitting the application early makes any difference or will the programs begin looking into my application once the Jan exam scores are released (or does it differ school by school)?

Thanks!

Hey guys! I have run out of material and have been redoing stuff over again, but I feel like I am falling into old thought patterns when I do these because I've seen them before. Ugh. But my sister is building me a tool that will change the names and topics in questions to generate what feels like new material for me (but ofc still all credit/copyright to LSAC for designing the questions). Would you be interested in something like this? Lmk!

I was just taking my first prep test and the first section ended while I still had about 12 minutes on the clock--only 23 minutes had passed according to my own timer. Now I have been locked out of the first section and forced on to the second. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

So I scored a 155 in the October LSAT and then took a break from any material as my Mid Terms and Finals were picking up so I focused on that, especially since I was graduating in December and wanted to make sure I didn't tank my final GPA (3.6).

Recently I received 2x extra time which I did not previously have and have successfully requested accommodations for the February LSAT.

My question is, should I apply now and send an addendum letting them know to expect a higher score after the Feb LSAT, or just hold off until that score comes in and apply with it then? I'm shooting specifically for U Miami (median 163) and FIU (median 160). I was actually just recently deferred from U Miami after an ED application for further context.
