Hi! I've been studying for approximately 6 months - I scored a 157 Oct 2023, then a 155 Nov 2023 (my fault, I was burnt out by the time I did the Oct that I wasn't mentally prepared for Nov). My highest timed PT has been a 163, but it fluctuates from 156-163, yet my BRs are usually 165+. Timing seems to be my kryptonite. It's not really a matter of running out of time, it's a matter of rushing and missing vital information whilst timed. Any tips on improving my timed score? I usually spend 2-3 hours per day studying, and on weekends I try to do 3-4. Despite that time allocated, I feel like I barely get any practice in, as BR and review takes up a chunk of time. I believe I understand the concepts, but it all fades away when the clock's ticking.

I've been doing 3-section PTs from the PrepTests section, and plan to do a simulation LSAT 4-section PT (1 experimental) this weekend. I've tried timed and untimed drills, but haven't noticed any improvement. Please let me know if you other methods to improve timing!

LR and RC are the consistent sections throwing me for a loop when timed.

I've just started to take practice tests. I "wasted" two (testing w/LG before deciding to wait to test in August) and it feels as though there are less tests available on 7sage for the August 2024 format. I'm worried about running out before I'm done studying.

I see the most recent PT available is from 2020. It's been 4 years. Do very recent LSAT tests not become available anywhere?

using MacBook 2017 w 13.6.6 and am having trouble with the Drilling user interface on both Safari and Chrome. I can't see the difficulty rating or the add question button for any problem, and then when I create a problem set, I can't see the next previous, or finish buttons that usually appear in the bottom right hand corner.

Hi, I was working through the curriculum today with no problems but a few minutes ago the green checkmarks and stars disappeared from the v2 syllabus and I couldn't click "Blind Review" or "see results" on the drills. Anyone else having this problem?

We noticed that a lot of our buttons and icons have gone missing making it very difficult / impossible to navigate through some parts of the site like the Drills and the Lessons pages. We're tracking down the issue right now and hoping to get it fixed asap.

Sorry about this! I'll update as soon as I have more information!

Update

We've found a fallback solution, and we're deploying it now. We estimate that the fix will be live in about five minutes. The site will still have a variety of visual oddities, but it will be functional.

The issue was caused by an outage from our icon provider, and it won't be resolved completely until they fix things on their end.

Thank you for patience!

Update 2

Solution is deployed! Drills, PTs and the Curriculum should be functional now (though they may still look a bit funky). Let us know if you are still experiencing issues.

I need help my account is showing like checks showing what I've completed on the syllabus and on the drills and problem sets it isn't showing like timer, any of the options in the top right hand corner with customizable options. I hope I explained that well enough. But I wanna know how to fix it because it's making it hard to use the website.

Hello everyone!

So I've taken three prep tests -- two I did all four sections and another I just did 3/4 sections. My current scores have been 141 (all four sections), 148 (all four sections), and 145 (three sections). I've noticed that on all three tests I get the lower difficulty questions right but I miss most if not all the harder difficulty questions. So I'm not sure how I should approach my studying. Should I just drill non-stop the harder difficulty questions? Should I prioritize the question types I get wrong most often according to the PrepTest analytics? Any advice would be very much appreciated!

hello! i am having major last minute application anxiety…i didn’t double space my personal statement on two applications and am now freaking out because i don’t remember if it was a requirement. i believe i would have noticed since i noticed it in my most recent application and formatted accordingly, but now i am horribly second guessing myself. should i contact the admissions offices and ask if they would like me to resubmit the statement? what would you do? :(

Hey guys I feel like Im able to solve questions but sometimes watching the videos I realize I did not make inferences upfront and split into game boards which would literally cut the time I take to do questions in half.

How can I get better at identifying and pushing out inferences up front from a set of rules?

the argument says that Neanderthals probably preserved their meats by smoking it, citing that burnt lichen and grass were found in many of their fireplaces, and that a fire made of these materials produces a lot of smoke, but not as much heat or light as a wood fire.

the correct answer is B. When I read the explanation, it says that B is correct because it suggests that Neanderthals used lichen and grass out of necessity rather than specifically for smoking meat. The explanation also says that the point of this argument is that Neanderthals used lichen and grass only to smoke meats.

But that is NOT how this argument is written to me. To me, the argument says that the only way Neanderthals preserved their meats was by smoking it, citing burnt lichen and grass in fireplaces, that burnt lichen and grass fire produce a lot of smoke as evidence. So I chose A, which suggests that they also used heat, which is ruled out in the last sentence in the argument.

I do not understand, for the life of me, how the main idea of this argument is that Neanderthals used lichen and grass primarily to smoke their meat, and not that smoking their meat was the only way they preserved it!

Is it me????? Every time I think I make headway on these questions, I get them wrong and it's so discouraging.
