Deleted my subscription

Hey! I really do love the new website format. The only issues I’m having are that I can’t log into the app, and when I try linking my old 7sage with the current one, it won’t send over my subscription that I’m paying for. Is there any way to change that?

LSAT Grade Dropping

I completed a PT on July 12 and got a 156, since then I have taken 3 more and got a 151, 152, and yesterday a 146. Has this happened to anyone else and has any idea why this could be happening to me? My diagnostic was a 148 and I find it very bizarre that I scored lower on yesterdays PT. Anyways, I am open to any advice that can help me!!

🙃 Confused

Studying Format

Hi,

I recently started studying and I'm signing up for the November Exam. For taking practice exams, would it be better for me to complete the whole curriculum first? Or do people usually take the practice exams/drills at the same time?

Not a super strong test taker, so I'm looking for the best way to manage my time!!

Highlighting Tactics for Practice Problems

How do people use the three different colors for marking up an LR question?

Personally, I try to switch between colors, highlighting based on the most basic information (e.g. "boys played") and then I try to highlight the descriptor words (e.g. "tall boys who spoke french played forever").

However, I feel like I am only utilizing two colors and sometimes my methods can become over inclusive. Very curious to hear about other people's experiences!

Hi everyone, I have a subscription to Science magazine and the ability to provide gift articles/share articles that are paywalled with non-subscribers.

If you'd like to read science articles so you get used to scientific jargon and stuff for Science RC passages, let me know! I can create a group or something to share articles.

149 or 152?

I took an offer test, 111, on lawhub and scored 13/26,17/25,16/26 with a raw score of 46. Lawhub is saying I got a 149 but when I enter my raw score on sites it says 152,153. Which is it???

I know i need to study more

I've been drilling questions for LR, and I just let the 7sage system decide what questions to pick for me. I was wondering if the way the drill chooses what questions to recommend for a future drill is by 1) adding more questions of the type I have answered wrong and 2) adding more questions of the type I have spent a long time on. I feel like I see a lot of the same questions types (weaken, parallel flaw, etc) and I just wanted to make sure that it's not because the system is just giving me more questions that I spend a lot of time on. I just worry if I am not getting enough practice with the other question types. I know I can just drill by type, but I would rather have a mix that the system chooses.

Like the title suggests, I want to try to give myself more time with the harder questions.

I was thinking of moving my 10 Lr in 10 minutes to 15 in 15, leaving 20 minutes for 16-25.

My new strategy would be:

1-15 in 15 mins (1 min per)

16-22 in 13 mins (1:50 per)

23-25 + Review in 7 mins (1:30 per question, accounting for the PFs/PRs, and 2:30 mins for review, which could be alloted to 1-15 or 16022 if they're especially challenging)

Tips on Slowing Down?

Hey y'all! I recently took a PT and got 166 on the first take and 176 on BR. I think this disparity is because I go way too fast through the questions and end up making dumb mistakes. I try to remind myself to go slow while taking the test, but it never seems to help. Any tips on how to slow yourself down and ensure you are fully thinking through the questions?

Hello,

I joined a 12-week fundamentals virtual group class back in June. I have been drilling and practicing questions untimed, but have not taken a full practice test or done timed drills. I took a diagnostic test back in March.

When should I begin doing timed practice? or should I hold on until I’m done with the course in August? I definitely think timing is a weakness for me, but hate the idea of wasting practice tests if I’m not ready. Thanks!

Today I scored a 161/162 for the 5th time in 10 PTs, most of my others have been about the same range, 159/160. Today's 161 was the best I've done on a PT across all 4 sections, -6 (RC), -4 (LR), -6 (LR), -6 (LR). To get a 165+, you need to get 14 or less incorrect; Today was -18 (-6 x 3), but was the best cumulative 4 section score I've gotten. I have found myself improving drastically in drilling, following close to target time results, I'll do drills of my weakest type, 4 and 5 star NA/SA/Weakening, and get very, very few wrong. But when it comes time to test, I feel like I find it very hard to get the 5 star Q's right, in drilling I have no problem with them (comparatively). Still, maybe due to the mental fatigue of an entire section, I find myself getting almost every question (~90-95% accuracy 1-4 stars) right up until the 5 stars, and then have my sections fall apart (specifically in LR) from 17-25. What should I do to remedy this? I drill 15 LRs and aim for ~18-20 minutes target time, and 2 passage RCs ~17-19 minutes target time.

What did others do to break out of this pre-165 bump. I take the august in 2 weeks, my hope is that I can put it all together before then and get a 165, if not, my more reasonable test for this achievement is september.

I know of some LSAT demon strategies, that I've read recently, where some people say go for 100% accuracy, guess on the last, this is surely interesting. But I've been trying to do, and do successfully, 10 questions in 10 minutes, and then 15 in 25. I think I'm going to change my strategy to 15 questions in 15 minutes, and then leave 20 for the last 10, as I feel myself needlessly dragging my feet through 11-15.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Suppose the stimulus to a parallel reasoning question was something along the lines of:

A⊃B

B⊃C

C⊃D

A,

Therefore D.

And one of the answer choices read:

W⊃X

X⊃Y

~Z⊃~Y,

W,

Therefore Z.

The sentence '~Z⊃~Y' is the contrapositive of Y⊃Z, and so just as the first argument is valid, so too is the second. But I was wondering if, in a parallel reasoning question, they will ever give an answer choice that utilizes the contrapositive.

Sorry for my poor ability to formulate a question.

Analytics Q

Is there anyway to "mute" some of my older PTs so I can see a more updated list of my priorities? I don't necessarily want to delete the older ones - I just want to see my weak areas now vs. then

PT v. Test Day Performance

After getting 177-180 consistently on my PT, I got a 172 on a 2024 LSAT. Now I'm back to studying for Sept 2025 and am scoring in the 177-180 range on all my PTs again. Wondering how I can best use this time to ensure that I don't have the same test day performance drop? Any advice appreciated

Beginner

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has been studying for the LSAT on and off and is currently scoring in the 130s on practice tests. A few months ago, I took a practice test and scored a 135, but I’ve been hesitant to take another one since. I’m feeling a bit stuck and would love to connect with others who are in a similar place or who’ve been there before. Are there any beginner-friendly study groups you’d recommend or are currently part of?

Thanks in advance!
