Hey, I am going to be studying and prepping for the LSAT in the UCF library on the main campus for the next months. If anybody wants to join and go over PTs and drills HMU. My score range is around 155-159.

I've taken 2 preptests and have improved from a 140 to a 149. I feel proud of that for sure. But, I got RC-18, LG-8, LR-10.

I know the RC is the hardest to improve on, but do I have a shot of getting it to the level of the others by the August 2023Test?

I am working an internship from 8 am to 4 pm -- so I am looking for an accountability partner who also has a commitment during the day but needs to study in the evening!

Virtual study partner for August exam. I am currently operating EDT. Looking for someone to take and review PTs with. Let me know if you are interested!

Hey, I go to University of Virginia and looking for someone to study alongside me/help each other get the best scores possible

Hey 7Sagers,

we can do this :)

Hi all,

I've been using the ProctorU "Test My Equipment" ahead of test day and it keeps telling me my RAM usage is over 95%. I have closed all other applications and google chrome tabs (plus this is a relatively new computer so there is not a lot taking up storage)--not sure what else I can try?! Anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Appreciate any tips people have, thanks!!

Taking it for the first time tomorrow morning. Wanted to come on here to say it’s been quite the journey. I started with a 150 in January and scored a 175 on my last two PTs. Thank you 7sage (and other resources) for helping me make it happen. ONE AND DONE TOMORROW!! I am excited to no longer dream about LR questions….lol.

To anyone testing tomorrow YOU GOT THIS! Feel free to manifest your goal score on this post.

Here is mine: I am smart and capable. I have worked hard to master this test. I know what I am doing. I will score over a 170 tomorrow. Hell — I will beat my own record of 175!

Reminder - this isn’t to brag OR be arrogant. Just putting out good vibes in the world! :)

are you still allowed to use tablets for remote exams?

I picked C for this question, and am having a hard time why A is the correct AC. The two parties clearly disagree on what's described in C.

Hi I need some advice. I’ve been studying the lsat almost full time since January of this year. I’m shooting for a 170 plus but ever since I’ve been more strict on time for Rc and lr, I sometimes ended up getting -10on rc sometimes. Normally i would average around -4/5 but the trickier qs and denser passages in more recent pts rlly have been hurting me. For lr also, i would avg -2/3 but on some of the ones i. The 70-80 range i got -4/5 per section. My LG is normally perfect but because of my fluctuating rc score I score sometimes in the low 60 and occasionally in the low 70s(mostly high 60s). Im debating whether I should try taking it this week officially for the first time or if I should spend more time with rc and get more consistent and better at lr and shoot for august or September…Some say take it for the experience but based on my rc level I think the best I could do is maybe a 168-170? Best case scenario? Should I give it a shot or postpone it and take it when I consistently pt in the 170 range?

Thanks!

What is an example of a circular reasoning argument? Additionally, I typically have started approaching AC's with the mentality of what works best for the stimulus/question. The AC may be itself far from perfect/poorly written, but that may be an LSAT writer trap to deter us from picking the correct one. On the LSAT an AC is correct if out of all the other options, it best does the thing the question is asking for. Can you let me know if this line of thinking is correct for assessing LR and RC answer choices? #help

Hey everyone. Im taking my test in a few days, and am kind of freaking out. I did worse on the last PT i took than normal, and still am not getting -0 on the logic games section. Does anyone have advice on what I should do to make sure I do the best I can on the test soon? Is it a good idea to take another practice exam? Thank you!

I am looking for someone to help keep each other accountable in doing early morning study sessions, and to overall just be there for each other through this insane time!

I am planning on taking the LSAT in either October or November, depending on where my score is by August! I was initially planning for the June 2024 LSAT, but am trying to motivate myself to prep for an earlier one, so if I want to take it again, I am not pushing it that much further back. :)

I have been feeling a little discouraged lately as I just took my most recent pt and haven't improved since my last score - so I am motivated to kick my prep into overdrive and work harder than ever!!

Let me know if anyone is interested and we can message each other through the inbox on the site to get the ball rolling :)

Good luck studying!

Read the passage TWICE. Yes, you heard that right. Read it twice, but before you say that's ridiculous there's no time for that just hear me out.

The first time you read the passage you slowdown your reading highlighting or underlining key words that are significant, especially emphasizing transition periods in the passage. After you finish the passage, immediately read the passage as second time. But, you aren't really going to "read" the passage. what you are going to do is skim through line by line in a rapid pace, skipping detailed wording and summing up in your head what is is that you are rapidly skimming down. This should take you no longer then 30 seconds. What I found by doing this is that it significantly improves my understanding on the passage structure, almost on a subconcious level. The time you "lose" by doing this second reading is gained back when answering the questions. You will find that the correct answers immediately jump out to you more often and you could be averaging 15 seconds a question.

Let me know your thoughts on this strategy. I know it might be necessarily "new," however I'm interested if anyone else does this?

UPDATE

I actually do this in the reverse now. I find that it helps me with structure. I will literally skim the entire passage for like a solid minute, then read the passage, then answer questions. The 4 minutes you use doing this helped me a lot.

Hi! I'm planning on taking the LSAT in August or September and would love to find someone that wants to study together in the afternoons/evenings 3 times a week or so! I'm located in San Francisco, so hopefully you are too!

Ideally we would meet up somewhere and just do our own thing but be there to hold each other accountable. Please let me know! Looking forward to meeting :)

Hi! I am looking for a study partner/group, ideally located in Richmond and preparing for the September 2023 exam or another exam around that time. I’ve been studying on and off since last July but am buckling down for the Sept exam. I’m typically studying from 10:30a-5:30p on weekdays (with an hour for lunch) and taking full exams on Saturdays (then blind reviewing after). Cannot do Sundays but could do weekday evenings if other times don’t work (except Tuesday evenings). Please DM if interested. Thanks :)

Looking for a study partner for the September test. I work full-time, so someone who's willing to studying around that schedule.

Hello all,

I am currently in my third year of a business program. In my second year, I became interested in computer science through elective courses I had taken, and decided to enroll into a dual degree offered at my school. This adds 1-2 years of course requirements (depending on how many courses you take per semester).

After a year in the program, I have realized that it is likely not for me. Overall I perform well in the courses, but since I joined the program late, I am realizing that I am unlikely to finish in only 1 additional year. I am most likely looking at at least 2 years due to a maximum allowance of courses that can be taken per semester. (I work full time over summers, so that is not an option).

Given that I want to go to law school, it seems silly to me to continue to pay for rent in a town far from home, and to continue paying tuition, simply because I find the courses interesting. With all that being said, I am wondering what people think the effects of dropping the second degree will be on my applications. Like many, I am hoping to go to a t14 school. According to my academic advisors, there will be a note on my transcript that I withdrew from the program, but it will not have any effect on my marks or my progress in my business degree.

TLDR: I am currently enrolled in two undergraduate degrees through a program offered at my school. I want to drop the second degree, and I am worried it will negatively impact my applications.

Hi everyone! You all may be aware of the negation strategy for required assumption questions in logical reasoning—basically the idea that if you negate an answer choice and the negation weakens the overall argument made, then it is probably the correct answer.

The curriculum explains some specific negations, such as some/none and all/some not. But since these questions are so common and there are so many complex ways to phrase answer choices, I was wondering if anyone had any tips that they use to negate really difficult statements (ie. unless, only if, at least, etc.).

Another part that trips me up with negation is when there are two potential parts of the sentence I could negate. In these cases, which part do you focus on?

Thank you so much!

study group needed, if anyone wants join.... A little about myself currently working at summer camp and plan to take the September LSAT. looking for an afternoon group between 7-10pm est.

Hello! I got the answer right for this LR question, but was having a hard time unpacking the last sentence of the prompt. I know starting with "for unless" is a premise but the wording is a bit convoluted.

"Some extremists claim that all uses of language are metaphorical. But this cannot be so, for unless some uses of words are literal, there can be no nonliteral uses of any words.

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to Blind Review my pt after I falsely stated that I completed Blind Review. I clicked on that I completed BR because I wanted to see the score immediately. But now I want to actually do the BR. Is there a way to "recover"and BR for real again?

Will the in-person LSAT offered beginning Aug 2023 be a pencil+paper administration? or does Prometric typically offer laptops to take the test digitally at the test center (point+click)?
