I've been studying LG for about a month now and seemingly always get -1!! I have been perfect on a couple tests but in the last 2 days I have taken 6 LG sections and got -1 on all of them. It's never on the hardest game either. Is this just a focus thing, or maybe going too fast on the easy games? Anyone consistently scoring -0 who also had this problem?

So i decided to take the NOV LSAT with very minimal studying. I purchased this program but I am not exactly sure how to use it and the syllabus is way too long for the few weeks I have left. What would be the best way to study?

Hello everyone!

My name is Ken. My friends and I host an LSAT study meeting at Gangnam every Sunday. We do not charge to attend this meeting but ask that each participant only pays for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. If anyone else wants to join, please read the conditions below and send me a message to my inbox! (:

  • This LSAT study meeting takes place from 2:00 pm-5:00 pm every Sunday at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

  • The language of the study meeting is English and English only. Any constituent speaking Korean will be asked to speak in English. We will accept a mixture of English and Korean (Konglish).

  • We do not make a profit hosting this LSAT study meeting other than asking each constituent to pay for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. The fee for using this meeting room is 6,000 KRW per person (1,900 KRW per hour for each person x 3 hours = 5,700 KRW rounded up to 6,000 KRW). This fee must be paid for in advance as soon as the constituent confirms in writing that he or she will attend the upcoming study meeting. The cause for paying the fee in advance as soon as possible is because we have to reserve the meeting room at the study cafe according to the number of constituents attending the meeting.

  • The refund will be issued only if the cancellation is made 48 hours prior to the start time of the study meeting. For example, a constituent has to cancel at latest by 2:00 pm on Friday to receive the refund.

  • The method of payment is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only. The method of refund is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only.

  • Any constituent using profanity or exhibiting an aggressive behavior will be permanently removed from the study meeting.

    • Thanks!

    Hello everyone,

    I am wondering if it is advised to cancel my first LSAT score, if I will be taking another test the following 30 days?

  • If I get a lower score, will LSAC report the amount of attempts I took LSAT/ Would it look unfavorable towards admissions?

  • If second LSAT score is higher, will it just supersede the original score?

    Can somebody explain (a) how to find the right answer choice for these questions and (b) dumb down how to do these questions, struggling heavily with getting the right answer choice

    Recently I've taken to honing my skills with Logic Games. I see people posting everywhere that LG is maybe the most difficult, but the easiest to improve on. I've been testing on LG between -17 to -11, with my best being -7.

    I know these aren't necessarily the worst scores but paired with my other sections it's far from where I want it to be.

    When I do a BR, I find that it takes me almost half of the recommended time to set up my diagram, yet I consistently take too long on the questions. I don't know what else I should be doing during that set-up portion of the game. I diagram the rules into a visual notation (even labeling each notation to the rule it represents), then I try to make inferences.

    So what am I doing wrong? It's not like this is part of my unique process where I budget time differently. Am I not making enough inferences? Should I be doing something different when I make my master diagram? I'm open to any ideas or advice!

    In the meantime, I plan to study with the PowerScore Logic Games Bible. I've heard good things about its influence on LG performance. Wish me luck!

    I originally took the November 2021 LSAT and got into a decent university in Boston but am now taking a gap year with a very laid-back job that gives me the opportunity to study while being paid at the same time. I got a 156 before and want to get into the mid-high 160s at least. I've only done self-study methods and didn't use any group(s) or things like this before so this would be a good opportunity that I want to try! Please let me know if interested.

    Idk if people who have scored high (170+) can attest to this, but I'm starting to realize that a key factor in this test is also understanding the answer choices just as much as you understand the stimulus/passage especially with tricky questions. This test is not easy! These testmakers are smart and know how to throw us off with questions that don't fit into the cookie cutter mold, while also making really appealing wrong answer choices. I just took a practice test and for many of the questions I fell for their tricks, while also not taking enough time to read each answer choice and fully absorb what it is saying in relation to the stimulus/passage. Not sure if many of you have also realized this, but this is just a tip for anyone who doesn't have a problem understanding the stimulus or passage but is still getting wrong answers. Pay attention to the mental steps you go through when evaluating the answer choices.

    Goodluck to everyone!

    Hey 7Sagers,

    Here's the official October 2022 LSAT Discussion Thread.

    REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the October LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, October 18th.

    Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

    Some examples of typical comments:

    ✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.

  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.

  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3

    • ❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.

  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.

  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June

  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?

  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count

    • Good luck to everyone taking the October LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the October 2022 LSAT here!**(/red)

    I've been an officer in the Marine Corps for nearly a decade and I want to make it clear that I am a more disciplined and capable student than I was when I was an immature 21 year old. Cum uGPA of 3.51 and an LSAT of 169. I took several practice LSATs in the mid-high 170s, but on test day I panicked when I realized my phone was on in the background. Anyway, would a LSAT/GPA addendum for schools like Yale be worthwhile? I studied for the LSAT while deployed to the middle east and then while working 60+ hours as an attack helicopter pilot stateside. I don't want to sound whiny, but I do want to instill confidence in the admissions team that I am more capable than my numbers report.

    I have an earlier LSAT score of 167. I took the October LSAT yesterday but am afraid it's still not higher than 167. Should I wait to submit app if I plan to take the November test? I'm thinking of submitting app with the 167 score (or a higher score of my October test) in early November, or wait until my November test score comes out. My target is to apply for the Top 30.

    Hi everyone! I just finished the exam, but experienced losing my mouse/typing capabilities during the first 10 mins. It was unfortunate timing and I couldn't use the ctrl f function in the passage. It had me really flustered and I waited to finish the passage by using touch screen before notifying the proctor of my technical issues. ProctorU had to restart my computer but to say I was sidetracked is an understatement. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there anything that can be done?

    Hey guys,

    If you took the October 2022 test today, congratulations you did it! If you’re taking it tomorrow like me, get your proper rest and trust your intuition. Many of us having been prepping for months and are sure we’re gonna achieve our target score, some of us are anxious, and some of us are just hoping for the best tomorrow (nervous laughter).

    In the midst of the stress of the LSAT, I thought I would create this post to lighten the nerves for tomorrow. What is your favorite snack and what will you be eating during your 10min break? Comment down below! Best of luck to everyone :)
