Hi Everyone! I'm trying to get better at spotting the gap and prephrasing the ACs. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting better at spotting the gap? I can find the gap for SA and NA questions on 1-2 star questions, but have trouble for all other kinds of questions and difficulty.
Any help/advice would be appreciated!
I would love to have the ask me anything classes come back on the weekends! I found them super helpful and wish they could be added again!
I don’t know y’all. I am suppose to take the LSATs in April and I don’t feel confident. For some reason it’s no clicking in my head. As I do these drill questions through law hub I keep getting horrible scores and it’s becoming very discouraging. I’ve been studying a couple hours every days for the last month on top of finishing my BAS taking 3 classes this semester and I work 70-80 hrs a week. I keep telling myself if I just keep drilling then eventually it will click but nothing has. I have 2 months left to study and hopefully by April I will be ready. Pray for me y’all because I really want to go to law school. Thank you
JUST GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL!!
I have been working through Foundations conditionals, and am getting a good grasp of how to translate to symbolic lawgic. But there is a big gap between writing symbols and actually applying it to test questions. Are there videos explaining how to do just this?
Hey all, Ive been self studying and it hasn't been great. I think having a partner or even a group can help me tremendously . I am in the essex county area in NJ. I am available from 4pm-7pm.
Hi everyone! I'm noticing my biggest problem on RC are the implied questions. Any additional tips? Thanks!
This is weird, but every time I do a section whether its LR or RC- I do worse on average than on the LR and RC sections of a full practice test. In other words- I do significantly better on full pts than sections. I don't know if this is a good or bad indicator????

Hey Guys, Quick question if you can help. For conditional reasoning, is the opposite of "no", "ALL"? For example, "no person can work without A" would the opposite the be "all persons can work with A"?
im writing my personal statement and its based on a true story about how i got in a car accident that led me to getting an internship with a supreme court justice at criminal court in NY (a girl rear ended my car into a man who ended up being a judge). the essay is solid, i think, but the story literally sounds so unbelievable that i am worried they will think i made it up. very much a when life gives you lemons situation. the judge is writing me an LOR as well but i obv dont know if hes mentioning that my "interview" was how well i handled a girl almost killing me in a car. its a long story which i am happy to share but moral of the story is would anyone want to read it and let me know their thoughts
I think Tuxedo Pooh is a useful frame for a lot of stuff on this test. Post more of his teachings in this thread!
These two happen to be the question types that really jog me when i’m doing a test, i’m intuitive and I don’t diagram, how can I ensure I am prepared for february, my difficulty comes in those level 4s and 5s mostly 5s.
hi! I'm taking the feb lsat and am running into a new issue with timing for my LR sections. I used to have a good chunk of extra time at the end of my LR sections and would use it to go back to my flagged questions and feel pretty satisfied with my answers (most mistakes I was making were more random things I wasn't catching). Now I'm still using the last 5 min or so to go back to the questions I flagged, but I'm getting really stumped on them even with a ton of time (or BR) and they end up being the questions I get wrong in the section. Not sure if anyone has any thoughts/advice on this but I would absolutely love any help at all!
Hi all, I am *literally* just starting out, like 2 hours in... I think I'm initially overwhelmed and a bit pessimistic that I'll be able to do this. Even stuff as simple as argument structure is making me feel like I bit off more than I can chew. I know I am capable, as I am a good/great student, and a generally well rounded person (I have to give myself credit somewhere, right?) Did anyone else experience these first day feelings? Will I be okay? Are we all floating on a giant rock through space?
Any tips? Any and all are appreciated!!!
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to take the LSAT at an earlier date. As a result, I have to take it in April. I am mainly just worried that most schools, even those with rolling admissions, will close their applications by the time scores are released.
Also wanted to add that I understand the April LSAT is too late for certain competitive schools. My post is just referring to the general bulk of law schools outside of the T25.
I am reviewing a PrepTest that I already took and for some reason the font is now wonky. It was not like this when I took the test or when I first reviewed it months ago.
There is no way for me to edit it. PT 104 Section 3 Passage 2.
I plan to take the LSAT in June and am about halfway through the foundations coursework right now. I might be looking too far ahead but when is a good time to start taking practice tests along with my work? I want to try and get through one a week once I’m deeper into the material and I’ve found for other tests I do best when I repeat the exams on my own.
Hey guys!
I just started studying for the LSAT and want to take it in APRIL... Do yall think it's wise for me to schedule the test right now or later? I purposely haven't registered for the test yet since I read somewhere I shouldn't do that until I am for sure ready... Let me know your thoughts!
Additionally, I am subscribed to 7Sage Live. What are some tips and suggestions for me to get the MOST out of it? Currently, I am reviewing and learning the foundations. Should I be doing something else?
Thanks guysss
From people's experiences who are going through the application process or already did, do law schools care more about low scores or cancelled scores? For example, say my first LSAT is 150s and I take again and score high 160s, would law schools rather see growth or just the best outcome possible? I don't think my score will be bad for admission purposes, but for scholarship oppurtunities I want to get into the high 160s. I have not taken the LSAT yet so this is a hypotheticals based on gut-feeling and final goal. I'm deciding whether I should cancel my score if it's not in my scholarship range or be prepared to defend a lower score with a higher score. I feel the latter is best, but wanted other's opinions. Thank you
Hi! I recently completed the CC and have been struggling to come up with a solid studying plan/ schedule. I have a variable schedule, but am trying to be consistent with studying - some days, I can do 1-2 hours, and others I can do up to 3 or 4 hours. I took a PT for the first time about 2 weeks ago and got a 146, which I’m not thrilled about but working on improving. I’m aiming to take the test in either June or August. I’ve been using the 7sage study plan feature, working on drills in areas of weakness, watching live classes on topics I find confusing, but I struggle with knowing if I’m truly making the most efficient use of my study time… I haven’t just yet started working on timed practices or drills, so I know that will eventually be another factor to account for. Any advice on setting a structured study plan or finding a routine that feels like you’re making progress?
Hi all! I’m studying for the June LSAT and am wondering if anyone is available to make a study group to keep each other accountable. Ideally this would be in person but virtual could work too. I really need help in actually making time to study and feel a group would help with this
Hello!
I am based in Peterborough, Ontario, and currently studying for the LSAT. I'm looking for someone to study with/ go over questions with a few times a week. I'm happy to do this over Zoom, as it's unlikely someone on here is also from Peterborough.
Feel free to reach out if this is something you'd be interested in.
Thanks!
I have been seriously struggling with weaken and strengthen questions compared to any other question type I have encountered thus far. Can anyone give me some advice on how to correctly answer these questions?
I am taking the LSAT in June and started studying last Monday. My study preferences currently are M-F, 4-6 hrs/day, and Comprehensive.
My original goal was to study 4 hrs/day for 20 hrs/week and I have found that while the grand total time for each day equates to around 5 hours, it is more like 7+ with taking notes, bathroom breaks, etc. and I am struggling to have enough time in the day to get everything done.
I have also noticed that often with the lesson videos that if there is an explanation for something being correct that I understand and then the instructor gives a bunch of hypothetical reasons of why something would not be correct, it ends up confusing me the more I watch.
Should I reduce my study plan to 2-4 hrs/day and/or change from Comprehensive to a different plan type?
I have approx. 5.5 months until the exam, so I know I could probably reduce my study time and still be just as prepared, but I am wondering if there is a better study plan than Comprehensive for me to use.
