I always read all the ACs for LR because the extra seconds are worth it to find trick ACs. However, I find that in RC, that is not the case and that those few seconds might be better used understanding the passage. Should I be skipping the ACs when I find the right AC or should I read all the ACs before selecting an AC?

I also want to add that I am working exclusively through old PTs (PT1 through 30). I am not ready to use the new ones as I am not at a level where I want to waste those questions.

Hello all,

I am wondering how everyone knows the question is a type 2 MC question where the stem doesn't have a conclusion, since a lot of times the stem seems like it does... For example, PT116.S3.Q14 seems like the first sentence is the conclusion, and then the following sentence is a counter-point to the conclusion. The last sentence after that then reaffirms that the original conclusion could be true.

Any advice?

Ahead of sitting the LSAT at a testing center on the August test date, and it seems that the argumentative writing section is exclusively conducted online. The best I can do currently is a long office, with a blackboard, and then two large bookcases with boxes piled in front of them relegated to the far corner of the room. Does it seem likely that this room will be acceptable? Might I have to cover the bookcases?

Is there any way to do an environment scan in advance to determine if the room is likely to be acceptable?

My highest score so far has been a 169, and I just got a 176 on my most recent practice test. I'm not sure whether I should trust such a dramatic jump but I'm excited to see what happens from here! It feels like all of the work I've put in is finally starting to pay off!!

I would like to discuss strategies that other people are currently using to study for the January or February LSAT administrations. How many hours a week are you working, are you using any other courses, what is your study plan, etc.

Hi! How would I go about picking the section I want to take in the prep test? For instance, I would want to go into the test and only take one LR section and review it and then take another section of that test at a different time and review it without taking all four at once?

Hi i am looking for a study group within Atlanta. I plan on taking the October or November exam. Aiming for 170s

I have been studying on and off for the LSAT since January but have really started studying in May. I am registered for the August LSAT but I want to cancel since I am not close to my goal score. My BR is closer to my goal but I struggle a lot with timing.

However, I didn't know if it would be beneficial to take the test to get a feel for what its like to be in the testing center. I know you can score preview and cancel. But I'm not sure how admissions officers view cancellations. I plan to take again in September and then October if needed. I am applying this cycle and now I feel like I am behind. Any advice or help?

Is it possible to go from a 143 diagnostic to 165 in 2-3 month timeline, if so any advice? I've already begun studying 8 hours a day

I have been doing LR drills with specific question type tags in the obsolete format to make sure I won't use up questions from Current Format prep tests that I will end up taking. (I want scores/analytics for prep tests to be as accurate as possible). Is this an okay way to study and improve? Or do the LR questions differ from obsolete to current format so drastically, that I am actually hurting myself by practicing in this format? #help

I'm taking the September 2024 test in-person, on paper, and was wondering if I was allowed to bring highlighters? I have been using Bailey's highlighting strategies for reading comp and wanted to know if I should be prepared to not be able to do that on the actual exam???

Taking the test in August. Just finished my last practice test and I got a 168, before that a 169, and before that a 167. It feels like I just can't break into the 170 no matter what I do. Should I just be hyper-focusing now on the questions I'm getting wrong and set aside everything else?

Hey everyone! Every time I post a message on one of these forums I never actually get added to anything so I thought I'd make one for myself! Drop your GroupMe ID or Phone Number and I'll make a big study groupchat for us to collaborate on getting the best score possible!

Also considering a Discord, but we can discuss that in the groupme!

Just a suggestion to improve 7Sage: there should be a link to the old PT's explanation page for each question! I often rely on the comments to really solidify my understanding and it would be good if they were integrated into the new format explanations somehow!

Anyone else agree?

Hello all,

It’s safe to say that my GPA isn’t the greatest, and it’s mediocre at best. I finished college with a 3.3 GPA in Political Science, albeit with an upward trend where I was on academic probation the first year of college. I am hoping to achieve a 160 on the LSAT with one year of studying. Does anyone else have a similar GPA with a success story? I’m really hoping I am not putting in work to realize that my chances at law school are bleak. I know the acceptance predictor exists, but I have a hard time believing how accurate it is.

Thanks everyone

Hi all,

If you're interested in joining an LSAT study group (currently about 6ish of us who are consistent) where all we do is co-work on Discord, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people, specifically first-gen/POC/"nontraditional folks" who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support.

If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

Hi everyone! Every time I take a prep test in the August format I always do much better in the experimental section compared to the others.

Is that section supposed to be easier? Has anyone else had this experience? Thanks!

I’m taking my LSAT in October 2024 😖😖

Admin note: Edited title. Please do not post threads or comments in all caps. This is against the Forum Rules. Thanks!

E is the correct answer apparently, but E talks about persons, but it doesn't mention that they are on the committee, so how is this at all the correct answer?

Looking for a friend/partner to study with! Currently scoring in the 160s and hoping to get into the 170s by October.

Hi Folks,

I completed Practice Test 104, and I noticed that PT 104, Section 1, Logical Reasoning is identical to LSAT PrepTest 27 Section 1. Is this common, or is it new because of the format change?

How can I best avoid repeat sections? When I was viewing LSAT PrepTest 104 before starting, it stated that I had done only one question. This is probably because PrepTest 27 was done with the obsolete format.

Appreciate any advice!

Best,

Stiv

Hi!

I'm planning on taking the August LSAT but my study plan has not been the greatest due to balancing a full time job and online classes. I am also registered for the October test and hoping to break the 170s by then.

My diagnostic was a 156 but have been able to score in the mid 160s since then with my best one being a 168.

Looking for someone that will be a good accountability partner especially when it comes to practice tests!!

So I'm registered to take the August LSAT and as I'm studying I've noticed it's more helpful to either be able to read it aloud or be able to have a physical copy in front of me. I assumed writing the LSAT in person in a writing centre meant it would be a pen-and-paper test however I just found out you'd still be writing it digitally. I have since decided I prefer to write it in person in a writing centre and would prefer a pen and paper test however, looking at the LSAC website I will need to apply for accommodations.

My questions now will follow: (1) do I have enough time to apply for accommodations and still be approved before having to write the LSAT in August? and (2) I don't have any disability/ diagnosis I notice that it helps me better understand what's being said, do I have to apply for accommodations with a Qualified Professional form?

In other words, is the only way to get this accommodation through having a diagnosed disability?

Thank you!
