I've taken a few practice tests in the 70s, a few 80s, and some 60s. I don't have that much time left till september and obviously there are way more practice tests than I can do in time for the test (I'm studying while working full-time). Anyone know how I can figure out which PTs I should make sure I take before the test? I'm saving all the 90s for the month of August. Thank you!

Hi,

I am looking for a study buddy who is aiming for a 170+. My first prep score is 168. I would like to meet over Zoom once a week, on weekends, to "discuss" difficult problems. The true aim for this study would be not going over all of the PT Qs in a swift, but really ponder the difficult/hard questions, and discuss about them in depth. I truly believe that it is not about the quantity but the quality of the reviews on the questions - "in depth analysis" on 2~3 questions per session would be way better than merely "going over" 20 questions.

Anyone who agrees on my approach, please feel free to reach out to me, and we will discuss the details! Thanks!

Not a problem, just a question. There seems to be a certain keyboard shortcut when using the drilling interface. Shift + WIN key brings up a little shield that covers the question and answer choices from view. What is the purpose of this?

Hello,

I am taking the test in August, and I am trying to get my scoring to be more consistent. My goal is a 172. Here are the results from my last 4 tests:

PT 63:

LR -1

LG -3

RC -3

PT 64:

LR -1

LG -0

RC -2

PT 65:

LR -4

LG -1

RC -4

PT 66

LR -1

LG -2

RC -4

My current plan is to take two full PTs a week and take one day a week to take a PT section by section spaced out. Does that seem like enough? Any tips for consistency? I feel like I can never do well in every section.

I’m looking for a study buddy to hold each other accountable! I’m planning to study 30+ hours a week mainly evenings (7-10ish) for Sundays to Wednesdays and all day Thursdays to Saturdays. My first diagnostic was a 161 and aiming for a 172-175 eventually.

Im looking for someone who can just work in silent with over discord calls, but also maybe chat and be friendly with when we want to take a break. (The presence helps a lot).

Add me on discord if interested! xtt#8183

I asked before with some help with LGs and now have perfected those! Now I am onto conquering RCs, and LRs. LR is where I think I can make some decent improvement.

Overall on my PTs I can get 163-166.

RC ranges from -4 to -7. That I am seeing a little improvement here and there.

LR can range from -4 to -7 as well.

LR I feel like I've been on a struggle bus. I work full time, so I do one PT a week, BR, and then try to review it. I also have tried to add some drilling of LRs I feel weak in. (Particularly NAs, PSAs, sometimes MSS).

One thing I have noticed is sometimes I make mistakes from reading a question stem, ac, or stimulus, and miss a VITAL Word! so sometimes I make dumb mistakes here and there....ugh

I am finding with my wrong journal-ling/BR, I know the question stems pretty well and what to do. I often just fall for traps answers as well. In particular the last 5 questions of the section usually beat me up.

I kinda also feel like drilling has made me worse?

Anyways, any advice or tips would be helpful! Is it dumb to drop LR drilling, and just review my wrong journal?

Any tips of how to review wrong journal better?

MBT MSS

So, I'm having a bit of trouble with MBT MSS questions.

I take way too much time just comprehending the passages.

Does anyone have any tips on this?

I've been scoring in the mid 170s (174-177) for a while now and I don't really know how to make more progress. I've gotten -3 to -5, but it seems pretty random which section I do best at. I've gotten perfect scores on every section across different PTs, and at this point it seems kind of random which one I do best at and which one I am worst in. Any advice on how to make my performance as consistent as possible?

Averages:

LR: -.7

LG: -2.4

RC: -1.7

Hi all! I'm just now beginning my LSAT prep and hoping to take it sometime in the Spring next year. I wanted to make a study group that meets WEEKLY (Please don't join this group if you aren't willing to seriously meet!) to keep each other on track, ask questions, etc. I would love for this group to be encouraging and consistent as we approach the LSAT!

We have around 3-6 people per study session with folks score ranging from mid-150 to early 170. We meet, solve one LR and one LG sections and discuss why we have chosen an answer we chose. We are meeting in below dates:

9:00 pm-11:00 pm, Thursday, July 7 at Gangnam station Exit 9, Wing Study Cafe

2:00 pm-6:00 pm, Sunday, July 10 at Gangnam station Exit 9, Wing Study Cafe

Please send me a direct message with a brief introduction if you want to join. I will give you more information on a private messaging system.

JY often "plays" with the rules in a LG before he does the questions. Do you all recommend doing this even on timed tests? If so, do you do so in your mind's eye, or actually on paper?

I usually play with the rules in difficult games when I'm doing BR, but not on the timed tests. I'm thinking about whether I should change this practice.

Starting from a 141 on my first timed PT to getting a 158 on my June LSAT all within 5 months :) [got a 150 on my March attempt :(] I want to thank God and this site for getting me through this because there were times I thought I was done for and that this wasn't the path for me. I thought about turning back and that I was in over my head as some loner accountant who had no background in prelaw, philosophy, or political science; but I prayed and revitalized to keep going and got the score I wanted to get into Houston Law. I am so excited to start my next step forward and I will more than likely come back to use this site for my Bar Exam.

Hi everyone!

I am looking for study buddies/group in Toronto, Canada to either have weekly online meetings or even in person (if the distance between the participants allows). I am currently working my way through the CC and am almost done with LR part. The purpose of this group would be to discuss concepts/strategies, logic through the harder questions and build good habits :)

NOTE: I work part time so my availability is pretty open. I would prefer to choose one day and commit to it so we all build the habit of doing a collaborative review.

I've been studying for almost 10 months now, and still scoring low in LR (not much different in RC...)

in the beginning I used to get -13 wrong and got better constantly scoring just below -10

some times I got around -5 but those sections were the ones that had 2-star difficulty...

feel like I'm spending my time and energy for nothing.

so demoralizing

Hello! I'm wondering where I can see my previous problem sets, as in problem sets that I've taken in the past that I'd like to go back to and review a day later. I used to be able to do this, but as of a week or two ago, I haven't been able to. What was Problem Sets is called Drills now. Where I used to be able to review my exisitng problem sets, there's an Auto Builder now. Is the review existing problem sets feature no longer a feature of 7Sage? Please let me know. Thank you.

Anyone looking to join a group for the Nov 2022 or Jan 2023 dates? Im closer to the beginning on my studying on here, might be easier to find others around the same level i am. We can even take it from the top and discuss each topic on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to keep each other accountable.

Im on the west coast. Not sure how to direct message anyone

  • Start studying for the LSAT part time (8+ hours a week) at least 8 months before the real test
  • Follow the LR-LG-RC order in studying 7sage’s curriculum (unless you know of a very strong personal reason not to)
  • Take all the time you need to master LR, but make sure you begin your RC study at least 3 months before the test. You need time to develop the ‘feel’
  • 2.5+ months of full time studying (35+ hours a week) before the test if you can afford it
  • 1.5+ month of full time prep test drilling before the real test if you can afford it. It's supposed to take 6+ hours to complete a prep test, do blind review, and then watch the explanation videos
  • Postpone the test if necessary, don't take it unprepared
  • Keep studying LR and RC until you have a clear intuition for finding the right answer choice. It’s about the feel, really
  • For LR and RC, be merciless with time. Force yourself to finish the section early despite less time for answering each question
  • For LG, go through 7sage’s curriculum, star all the questions/stems you find hard, and redo them again and again until you master them
  • Good luck!
