Hi, I’ve been taking practice exams for the past 2 months now once a week. At first, I was missing 7-8 on LR, but now all of a sudden I’m missing 9-13 and I’m not sure why. I’m not sure if the LR sections are progressively getting harder with each exam ( I started with prep test 70, just completed test 83) or if I’m experiencing burnout or something else. I’ve been drilling question types I struggle with and usually get some improvement but it seems to not show under testing conditions recently. I am registered for the October exam and I’m getting a little nervous that I might not be as ready as I thought. I still have 5 planned tests before the actual exam. Any advice to improve LR in the meantime?

Hello everyone. This might be a bit of a long post but I’m writing this post to pretty much look for advice as to what I should do with my study plan since I’m losing hope and considering giving up.

For context, I took the LSAT November of 2021 and scored a 150. This was with no studying at all as I was doing school full time at that point. Prior to taking that LSAT, my cold diagnostic was a 144 on the June 07. Since then, I decided to opt for the gap year and focused on finishing undergrad with good grades. I began studying again June of this year post-graduation and have been putting between 3-6 hours every single day except on weekends where I study less due to other responsibilities. My goal was ~160 by October of this year. I have already registered for that date btw.

My issue becomes that I’ve scored nowhere near my goal. My highest actual score has been a 154 despite scoring in the 160s during BR a few times. Besides the 154, I’ll score anywhere between 148-152 for the most part. The 154 was due largely to me scoring -3 on the LG on that PT. My routine consists of mainly drilling LG and LR as I’ve heard RC is not worth practicing as much. I average -9 or -10 on RC. Despite me drilling hundreds of LGs and LR questions I’ll still get 7-15 wrong on any LR section. On LG, I can go either -3 or -14 under timed conditions despite being capable of -0 on BR. I’m very inconsistent on the games because I struggle with diagramming rules and setting up the games. This often forces me to brute force through answer choices because I don’t make inferences and waste time only allowing me to complete 3/4 games.

Now, with that being said I’ll mention that I have not gone through the entire CC. I recently started going through the CC for LR and plan on finishing it and moving on to the LG CC. I’m also reading the LR Loophole but I’m only halfway through the book. I am well aware that these are things I should have done from the start before I even began drilling or doing PTs but I unfortunately didn’t.

My question becomes: With only ~5 weeks until my October LSAT, what should I even do? Should I fully focus on finishing the Loophole and the CC and stop doing PTs until then? Should I do that but continue weekly drills or cut out even drills until I understand the CC? Should I still be doing at least 1 PT per week? Or should I simply just drill LG for the next few weeks in a last ditch effort to score higher given that this is the section I feel like I can improve on the most? I’m really not sure where to go from here with 5 weeks left and morale at an all time low. Btw, if you made it this far, thank you. I’d appreciate any tips.

One of the main things that pushed me to law and wanting to become a lawyer was seeing one of my close family members grapple with addiction and how it affected me and my family. Is this an appropriate topic to write about for my personal statement or should I try to do something else?

Also, is the actual LSAT done like the program we use on 7sage when drilling/prep testing? Where we can highlight, underline, "X" out wrong answers, etc?

I'm looking for a strategy of writing/making notes because I cannot remember the whole passage on one go...

Hello, I wrote the August LSAT and got a 156. I am writing again in November and I am hoping to increase my score by 5 points. I just registered for a full account at 7Sage and I am wondering if there are any tips or suggestions on how to best use the CC and 7Sage tools to develop a study plan for the next 8 weeks. I inputted all of my prior PT's into the analytic tool and was able to see where I need to focus on the most. Since I am unfamiliar with 7Sage, should I just go to each specific section that's been highlighted as my weak area? Or is there another optimal way to utilize the course?

Thanks!

Hey y'all. I am trying to drill individual reading comp sections. I think that drilling takes some standard time for the number of questions you select and creates the limit based on that. However, this becomes problematic when you're doing a particularly difficult section and you run out of time, even when you're under the "target time" that 7sage suggests. Is there any way to adjust the time?

Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice, I think I'm doing quite well in general with getting the answers right but during my PTs I usually end up with 5-8 unanswered questions on the LG because I just didn't even have the time to look at them. If any of you went through the same thing and found a way to solve it please leave me your tips or strategies.

Thanks:)

I cant find it anywhere

Thoughts on November LSAT? Is there still a good chance of getting into schools if I apply end December?

The title says it all. I am a reapplicant and would like to better my chances.

When I first applied, it was the 2020-2021 cycle and I applied the first week of February, hoping that my January score would help. With this fear of the past, I worry if the November LSAT is too late, since I know many people take it August or September. Appreciate your thoughts!

Definitely my fault as I didn't realize the time difference but I missed the deadline by 40 minutes. Do you guys think they'll let me register? I sent them an email right away

Let's say I read a word that I don't recognize. Can I open a new tab to Google the definition really quick?

Anyone who took the August test and is retaking in October willing to share their study schedule for the next month? Bonus points if you work full time.

I was PTing in the high 160s-low 170s, got a 164 on the August test. Returning to studying after taking a few weeks off and struggling to come up with a schedule/strategy that will help get me a 168 or higher in October while working full time without burning out.

ALSO, if you are a tutor or know anyone who will tutor me for a few hours a week at a reasonable price (~$50/hour), hmu.

I have consistently been getting -8/-9 on every timed LR section that I do for the past month. When I BR, I tend to get -6/-7. I have tried drilling harder question types, but nothing seems to be sticking. Should I go back to the core curriculum? I read through all of Loophole too. Taking the Nov LSAT and frustrated I can't seem to master LR.

Hi everyone!

On Thursday, August 25th, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Training for Reading Comprehension."

For this webinar, we'll be going over the different muscles that Reading Comprehension is testing and the ways to train each one. Yes, RC tests "reading ability." But what does that mean exactly?

We'll go over different ways to make RC studying more varied, effective and engaging. If you're someone who worries that RC isn't learnable or is getting tired of just doing timed RC sections, this webinar will arm you with a new way of thinking about the section and about RC studying.

⚠️ After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

⚠️ You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

Hello everyone,

I am reapplying this cycle to law school. I was wondering if I will have to request my transcripts again(nothing has changed) and request new letters of recommendations from my previous professors? I applied last year but decided to wait off another year after looking at the law schools I was admitted to and got denied from.

Also, do I have to change drastically my personal statement? In my personal statement I wrote about why I wanted to become a lawyer and my reasons for why I want to become a lawyer have not changed. I also do not want to resubmit the same personal statement but also not write something entirely new.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Thanks!

I have a logic question I was wondering if you could help me with.

So I was doing a MBF question on Test 41 section 1. Essentially, the stimulus gives you two conditionals.

I know you cannot get a contrapositive out of A (Most)-> B nor out of A (some)B. So my question is is why can you not do this logical move, when you start with the original conditional statement

Normal

Contrapositive

A->B:

By inference we can say A (most)-> B

By inference we can say A(some)B

The contrapositive being~B->~A:

By inference we can say ~B (most)-> ~A

By inference we can say ~A(some)B~

While I know that we cannot get a contrapositives from “most” conditionals and “some” conditionals, from this chart it seems like we can?

I understand from ALL you can imply MOST, from MOST you can imply SOME or from ALL you can imply SOME.

So what I am missing or not realizing?

Hi! As the title says, I'm looking to tutor someone. :) My diagnostic was a 152 in April 2022 and my favourite section to teach is Logical Reasoning which ironically was my worst section at first. I really enjoyed the process of navigating the logic in the LSAT and I hope I get to continue being involved with the LSAT by tutoring!

Hi friends!

I am a little confused and want some clarification. I have been doing prep tests and not stimulating the modern, meaning I am taking all 4 sections which makes sense because that is what I will be doing on test day. The score that I get back counts the 4th section when I perform in that mode, right? Should I do my own calculations on the sections supposedly scored and use that to keep track of my scores or is the score given by 7sage my anticipated score?

I hope this makes sense. help pls :-)

is it possible to tell which passage is easier and which is harder on test day?

For this section of the application, do I list every single year of my dean's list or is that to excessive since I received it every semester or should I make a single entry for each of them.

Also would publication go here? And would Merit Aid Scholarship from the Chancellor's Office for academic recognization go here if it does?

Thanks for the help!

Lately I have been looking ahead at the games and start by doing the ones with the most questions tied to them. Is this a decent method? Should I instead start with the ones that look easiest to me? Just not sure the best way to approach the logic games sections.

Hello! I am applying ED to UCLA - is it better to apply early or does the timing not matter too much before the November 15th deadline? Good luck to all of this cycles applicants!
