Dyslexia

I was wondering if anyone here has dyslexia? I have pretty bad dyslexia. Whenever I read words begin to look like mush and my brain can’t process words the same way someone without dyslexia can. I was wondering if anyone here has dyslexia and if there is anything you do / take that helps with it.

IS this something I have to buy as well? Does anyone know any way to get around it???

Hey 7Sage—I want to show you a feature of our new design and ask some questions about it. Respond if you're interested and if you have some time today! I'll probably want twenty to thirty minutes of your time over Zoom.

Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm loosely following the LSAT Trainer's scheduled recommendations for PTs and Drill Set. I know I can take the Drill Sets on LawHub, but I would prefer to have my metrics recorded on 7sage for later analysis. I understand that I can generate new Drill Sets on 7sage, but is there any way I can take the LawHub drill sets on 7sage as well?

Hi everyone,

I took PT 123 last night and noticed that all the passages were in the 1-2 difficulty range. I received a good score on the test, but now I am wondering if it is a little inflated? This would be a 5 point improvement since my last PT 3 weeks ago, so I also think I could have just got better.

Is this not a concern because of how the conversion works?

TIA!

Taking the October LSAT here in a week. Nervous, like most, but I am confident in the time and work I have put in. Five of my six PTs are at or above my goal score so I'm just hoping for consistency.

I actually feel pretty comfortable with LR at this point. Not too surprising considering how great the new curriculum is and how long it spends going over every question type. RC is a totally different story. If they are easier passages I can score as well as a - 3, but more often than not I am struggling to finish all four passages and ending up anywhere from -7 to -12. I will try working on that this week by just drilling as much as I can.

According to analytics, a huge area of emphasis for me is implied questions. Maybe it's easily explainable due to me consistently not finishing passages, but any advice/tips are greatly appreciated considering how frequently these question types come up on the test.

P.S. If you are taking the October LSAT, good luck! Just apply what you have learned and see where it takes you. Don't let this test take control of you, even if you start off with a rocky section. You CAN bounce back.

Does anyone have an experience of testing in-person with ADHD accommodations (i.e. extra time)? I am worried I will get to testing center and somehow my test will not have accommodations or the proctor won't be aware if that makes sense

i am tired. overworked. burnt out. my test is oct 4, but i think i need to slow down before i sit for it. i study constantly, after working a full time job, every single minute i have i try and study. i have reached a point where i am feeling tired, frustruated, and i feel like i am hitting a wall. any advice? i do not want this to impact my oct test, i feel like i need to pump the breaks before my test bc i am watching my confidence slip away and i am doing things on autopilot.

Hi all,

I started studying this summer with like 15-20 hours a week just doing core curriculum, no PT. I was really starting to improve. After I started taking PT, my scores were stuck at a 154. I am not sure if I should redo the complete curriculum because I have time, however, it has been immaculately frustrating as I worked my butt off this summer. I wasn't doing the read review method during my drills, and I'm not sure if that is why. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone! I am hoping to find people to study with who are aiming for 173+ in the upcoming exams! I have finished the 7Sage curriculum, and I am PT-ing in 160mid-160high. I’m looking for people who would also love to break the plateau and unlock the next level. My intention is that we take the same PTs - once/twice a week - and get together once a week (in-person is best; many nice public libraries in the city but Zoom could also work.) We will discuss questions we are getting wrong and our thought processes. We can dissect based on question type and discuss why some answer choices are correct/wrong. I’ve been told this is a great way to learn - that you’re able to teach someone else your mistakes. We also welcome other methods that would be helpful in a group discussion setting!

If you’re in a similar mindset, please add me on discord: @redlittlefruit

You can also drop your preferred social media/contact below and i can try to add you.

Good luck studying everyone!!!

Hello peeps, I will be taking LSAT in January. I have been struggling with RC. I am mostly getting -16 to anywhere -20 and I am finding it difficult to improve on it. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

For months, I had been scoring consistently relatively well on practice tests, taking two tests a week, but for the past two weeks I have been scoring about 5 points worse despite maintaining the same study practices. The other day I hit a score that was the same as my diagnostic test and today, even though I felt much better about it, was almost the same. I take the test in less than two weeks. What do I do?

Hey all! I have been studying for a few months now and take my test here in October. I am SO close to a breakthrough but my issue is… on so many LR questions I am stuck between 2 answer choices. I choose one thinking it right and then it’s the other one that I thought about. I keep making the same mistake but I can’t seem to shake it. I feel like I review well and I know what I’m doing wrong but obviously I don’t if I keep choosing the wrong answer out of the 2 I think. Any tips or recommendations??

Hi, so I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between pseudo sufficient assumption - find the rule, questions versus principle questions? and if you can tell me how you identify the question type from one another please??

Thankyouuu in advance!.

I hit my goal score of 168 with a BR score of 174. I have only taken 5 PTs so far that have only trended upwards, previous PT score was a 160 with a BR score of 166. I understand I still have many weeks to keep studying but I do have midterms on the two weeks leading up. My anxiety for whatever reason is higher than ever, I don't have a real average of PT scores because I have only taken 5 PT that have only had upward trends after each. I do believe my ceiling is higher than what I scored but I want to make sure im consistent. My plan is to drill LR and RC for the first half of each week and take a PT at the end of each week, is this a good plan? Any tips for handling anxiety especially with my case? I really hope it was not a fluke.

An easy willingness to tell funny stories or jokes about oneself is the surest mark of supreme self-confidence. This willingness, often not acquired until late in life, is even more revealing than is good-natured acquiescence in having others poke fun at one.

Which one of the following inferences is most supported by the statements above?

A A person who lacks self-confidence will enjoy neither telling nor hearing funny stories about himself or herself.

B People with high self-confidence do not tell funny stories or jokes about others.

C Highly self-confident people tell funny stories and jokes in order to let their audience know that they are self-

confident.

D Most people would rather tell a funny story or a joke than listen to one being told.

E Telling funny stories or jokes about people in their presence is a way of expressing one's respect for them.

I can understand how A is correct in that it completes the pre-phrase "a person who exhibits confidence will enjoy telling and hearing funny stories about themselves". However, I got rid of A because I assumed that they are not discussing the correct group that was discussed in the stimulus. It's a pattern and common wrong answer choice l've seen in other question type, where they are discussing the wrong group in the answer choices to trap you. For example, if the stimulus discusses only the group in a survey who love cheese. Then the wrong answer choice will try to trick the test taker and talk about those who do not love cheese. And that is where you are supposed to catch that and say " the stimulus only talks about the group who do love cheese not those who do not, therefore not needed for the argument. I don't understand why that doesn't apply here? If I were to do a fact check test and use the stimulus to support the answer, nowhere does it discuss a person who lacks self confidence or what makes a person not confident" . It only talks about what makes a person confident, not what doesn't make them confident. So would it be fair when approaching future questions to assume that if they are talking about a different group it could still be correct?

Hi everyone! I am currently studying for the November LSAT and possibly the January LSAT as well. I am looking for study buddies, but also providing a forum where people can ask questions, express frustrations, and interact with like minded individuals. My discord has been giving me trouble, and frankly, I am not on it very much. I was thinking maybe an instagram group chat? If you are interested my instagram is @ anastasiaaabeee , dm me saying "study group" so I know to add you to the group chat!!

Hi everyone, I'm looking to create a study group for the upcoming LSATs. Whether you are planning to take it in October, November, or in January. I want to have a supportive group where we drill together and share our experiences/tips we have all gathered so far. The process of navigating LSAT prep material and the law school process over all can feel isolating and scary. If anyone is in the same boat or is just looking for a place to vent lol, drop your discords and I can make a chat.

I have been studying since June full time and have been doing pretty well. My highest PT which was only about 3 weeks ago was a 160 which is what I am aiming to get for the real thing. However I am now seeing a huge decline in my scores and I am getting -8 and -11 on sections that I typically get -5. I am getting really stressed and discouraged considering the October test is in 2 weeks. I am also registered for November so i just don't know what I'm doing wrong and what to do about it now. Also , is it bad that I am going to take october and november back to back? Should i change my october test date to november and then take november and january instead? im getting overwhelmed.
