I finished the Core Curriculum about 2 or so months ago (albeit not in a neat, consistent, and linear fashion - took me 2+ years) and after taking some drills in order to determine which areas I need to go back and review, I've gone back into the CC to do just that. I'm currently in the strengthening section of LR and I just finished one of the practice drills after having gone through (for a second time now) the lessons and guided practice questions.

Now, as was the case when I first went through these sections, it is taking me an unholy amount of time to get through these practice drills (anywhere from 20-45 min) and it is getting very frustrating knowing that it is taking me periods of time that exceed or come close to exceeding the allotted testing time to answer a mere 5 question drill. Additionally, and as if to add insult to injury, it isn't even the case that I'm getting all of the questions right within those time frames!

How, other than at the slowest snails' pace, can I possibly improve? I don't foresee myself being able to, at least anytime soon, complete entire sections of a test under simulated testing conditions.

Someone...anyone...please help!

So my April LSAT score was a bust, so going to gear up to take it in June. Any recommendations for a 6 week study sprint? My best section is Logic Games so truly going to be my last time to take the test with the best conditions possible. I studied a couple hours 6 days a week from February - April (with tutoring) and was pretty consistently scoring above what I got on the April test. Think I got tripped up just through general test-day anxiety (and what I thought was a super difficult RC section). Should I just try to take as many PTs as possible the next 6 weeks? Should I do more drills? Go back to some of the basics? Little lost here.

Truly so frustrated by my April score and June will be unfortunately my 4th time taking the test, so any words of wisdom or success stories to make me feel some hope would be lovely.

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!
