Hello all,

After receiving consecutively poor scores on PT in 2020 I decided to change my approach to this test by going through the CC first before PTing again. I initially was doing just LG but I realized midway through that that I actually need help with everything and decided to go through the entire CC from the first lesson. I work as a paralegal full-time and sometimes I can only devote 1 hour a day to studying. I am wondering if this is the best use of time. Let me know what you guys think.

Back when I started taking PTs to study, I didn't realize that I should save the more recent tests for when I was closer to my test date, and took the tests beginning with PT 92. I'm taking the LSAT in August and was wondering if people have an opinion whether it would be better to retake more recently administered tests I've already taken, or take older tests with which I'm unfamiliar? I've retaken 91 and 92 recently (took them originally back in March) and only recalled a few questions from them, but I do fear that my scores are potentially skewed by those few! I'll only have a chance to take one or two more tests before the actual exam but was just curious what people might have to say. Good luck to my fellow August test takers!

I chose answer choice E for this question, but I don't understand why B is the correct answer.

Can someone explain why the answer is E to

PrepTest 3 - Section 4 - Question 12?

I scored a 177 on a PT after being around the 160s for a while, but even after my spike I have gotten back down to 165 ish range on my last two PT. Drop your thoughts below!

I just have one specific question. On parallel reasoning questions, if an answer choice essentially has the same logical force, # terms, and structure as the stimulus except its conclusion is the contrapositive of the previous terms, does that disqualify it as a right answer?

For instance:

Stimulus:

A --> B;

B --> C;

Thus, A --> C

Answer choice:

D --> E

E --> F

Thus, F --> D?

Hi 7sage,

I have been scoring between 160-163 on most of the PTs. On all of the PTs 80s I have score above 160 and up. Average is 161. But every time I do the PTs above the 90s, the newest ones from 2020, I always score in the upper 150s.

My question is: are the PTs in the 90s unusually harder? The RC section in PT 91 is mind-blowing hard and it felt abnormally harder than any other PT I have ever taken.

Thanks!

I plan on taking the June 2023 LSAT, but I heard the LG section is being removed. Should I be concerned? Is it a mistake to work in LG right now?

Hiii! I am here to celebrate this victory and ask for some advice! For context, I have been struggling for months to pass the 175+ hurdle (getting from the high160s to the low 170s took forever on its own) and now I finally hit this goal with a 178 on PT 80!! The tactic that seemed to push me into 175+ territory involved taking super slow practice tests to solidify some solid test-taking habits. After a week of that tactic, I finally took a timed PT today and was so pleasantly stunned to see the 178! If I can consistently hit above 175 over the next couple of weeks, I'm planning to take the August LSAT of this year.

HOWEVER, if this score turns out to be a fluke, I'll probably push the test back a couple months. The biggest con to pushing it back (besides the obvious monetary one lol) is that I start my first year of teaching in late-August and know I won't be able to commit as much time to consistent prep. Thoughts on this plan of action?

Hi!

I am aiming for over 175 for Oct 2022 LSAT! If anyone is interested in joining a study group please comment below and I will send you guys the link.

Thanks!

(btw, I am looking for people who would be joining weekly zoom meeting to go over prep questions and tips together!

Hi everyone, does any one have advice or strategy they did to do better on the Reading Comprehension? ( I study on my weakness , but for some reason I still do bad on RC section)

7Sage needs to get a LawHub test result import feature. Another site I use, adeptLR, seems to be a much smaller company than 7Sage and they have that feature. Maybe 7Sage already has that, but I am missing where to find it. If someone knows please let me know. I want to take my PT's on LawHub so it fully mimics the real LSAT, but it is such a pain to have to manually import all answers to utilize analytics on 7Sage.

I absolutely love this feature. It motivates me so much when it tells me that I will get a certain percentage wrong, and then I actually do! Ahhh!

One thing, though, is that I wish we can choose to restrict newer PT questions. This would be much desired

Other than that, I think it is one of the best study tools ever. What do you guys think?

I've relied on these forums to validate my frustrations and I've turned to the discussion boards for inspiration too, so this is my attempt to put some positivity into the universe: for all my fellow August test takers, we're going to crush this test! If you're here, you've put in the work, sacrificed, and committed to getting better. In two weeks, we have the opportunity to showcase that hard-work. Good luck to everyone!

Why is Answer choice D correct and Answer choice A is not?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to start a study group for the NOV 2022 LSAT. I am thinking of starting a discord where we can share study tips/study together/ask questions and more! :)

Hi everyone!

Currently, I am PTing in the mid 150s and looking to get somewhere in the 160s. I would like to have a study partner who can commit to 2-3 times a week on zoom. Preferably someone who is Pting 160 or higher.

If someone is interested please let me know, I would truly appreciate it!

Hey 7sage! Consistent in the mid 170s and trying to cement my mastery- I've found that tutoring others helps. I’ve tutored people scoring the 150s and 160s. if you would like some tutoring (or just working together, doesn’t have to be “tutoring”) to work through tough LR q's and tough RC passages, or LG, i'd be love to work together! Looking to pair up with 2-3 people, please message me your current PT average and what sections you’d like to work on if interested : )

Hi everyone,

I keep hearing that more restrictive rules are better to split the board with. How do you tell if a rule is more or less restrictive?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hello! When I test my requirements for proctor u it is saying that it cannot get any information on my cpu, ram or internet leading me to fail on all of the related tests. I used both and firefox while trying to remove all of the browser restriction on the site. I am running a Dell laptop with an intel cpu. Anyone had this issue or know what I should do?

Example: "We cannot have A without B" or "Without A we cannot have B"

Cannot = group 4 (negate, necessary)

Without = group 3 (negate, sufficient)

Hi everyone,

When sequencing games use years instead of the basic numerical set-up, it really confuses me. Tips on how to speed up my process when I get something like 1989-1995 instead of 1-7? Should I put the years on my game board?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi everyone,

What is the best way to diagram spatial (circular) sequencing games? And am I likely to see one on test day? I tried to diagram a circular sequencing game close to the beginning of my prep (I think it was the June 1991 PT) and literally drew a circle for each board, which took way too long and felt way too artsy (lol), and I don’t think I should have done it that way, since the only thing that the circle was conveying was that certain game pieces were across from each other.

Thanks in advance for any help.

For the time scheduling of the lsat that is done through Proctor U, does anyone know if we need to create an account with Proctor U before scheduling or do we wait for the email to come in with instructions? I tried to create an account but I didn't know what institution to put.

Is anyone else having this issue? I can create a drill or choose a preptest but then no test or drill appears
