My LR section is my worst and most inconsistent section, ranging from 17 to 23 on any particular test. I really want to get it up to a consistent 23, but I'm not sure how.
Things I've been doing:
I take the LSAT in a month, and I've been plateauing on my LR for about two months. Any help would be much appreciated.
I am currently going through the logic game drills from preptests 1-35. My process is to do the logic game (ex. logic game 1 from preptest 1) first under timed conditions, blind review and watch the explanation, and then repeat the game consecutively 10 times under timed conditions. Is this correct?
I was also wondering how much improvement in the logic games score you can get from foolproofing preptests 1-35
Study Group for Aug 2022 LSAT
Hey everyone! We’re looking for some new additions to our fun & fruitful online LSAT study group! (Since Jan 2022).
Currently we meet twice a week on Monday & Wednesday in the morning (around 11:00-11:30 AM PST, 2 hours / session). We’re pretty flexible with our time – so don’t be shy :)
How We Study!
Please Join Us If You…
Those who are interested in joining, please send me a message on 7Sage. Thank you!
Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi all!
I have an official 166 on the LSAT from June. Aiming to score 170 or higher on the August.
Looking for anyone who wants to meet weekly to study!
Thanks!
Hey guys!
I would like to gather 4-5 people who will be responsible to join for regular zoom study sessions.
I am currently scoring mid-160, and is aiming for 175+ for the upcoming Oct exam. (Never set your goals too low haha)
Anyway, I am thinking about holding 3 meetings per week (Any three days during the week, but staring at 10 am ET). I am expecting about 1hr30ms-2hrs per study session. I am currently in South Korea, so people in similar time zones would be preferred (10am ET equals 11pm KST)
So please comment or message me if you are available during that time.
Thanks :>
Hi guys,
I am in a bit of a pickle. For whatever reason, I cannot study LSAT anymore. I can't focus, and I feel like studying is torture.
I took a week break (by break I mean that I was studying a lot less, I think I studied 2/7 days for 2 hours a day). I still am having an incredibly hard time.
Prior to this, and probably the reason for my burnout, I was studying 3-5 hours a day after working. I would also have my LSAT Prep class twice a week, and once a week I would take an exam. I did this for 2.5 months straight with a few days of rest here and there.
Do you guys have any tips for how I can get my motivation back? Or any words of reassurance? I am trying my hardest, but I cannot be productive anymore. It is really worrying me, as I feel behind. My first LSAT is in August, and I want to take another one in December.
Thank you so much in advance!

Could anyone share what the difference is between Inference question type and MBT question type on 7sage?
And can anyone share in regards to whether doing these questions might help in solving the inference question types on RC?
Thank you.
I don't have trouble with generating possible numerical distributions for In/Out or Grouping games, but for some reason I struggle to be able to quickly write out all the possible distributions for linear sequencing games with repeating variables (i.e. June 2007 Game 3). Is there a quick and easy trick to doing this? I find it involves a lot of overthinking and is a slow process for me.
Based on prior test date discussion boards it looks as though those scheduling emails typically go out ~2.5 weeks in advance, but curious if anyone has anything more concrete than that to share. I would love to have my time slot figured as I do have some potential conflicts on the 12th/13th... it stresses me out a little bit to have little information about when to expect the email and I'm paranoid I'll miss it/only notice it once all the most "desirable" time slots are gobbled up.
I don't even know if that's how it works.
Sorry I missed when this term was first used, and now I’m hearing it again and again, and I don’t know what it means. #help #thankyou

Hi, I am struggling with games because I am not yet quickly able to make inferences to decipher the possible set ups. It seems this is the key to easily going through the questions, so I was wondering if there are any drills anywhere to practice this skill?
Hi everyone,
I am an international student going into my junior year and I am hoping to go directly to law school after college. In October, I am starting a year-long law program at the faculty of law at Oxford. I hear that the program is very intensive and I am bit worried about how realistic it would be for me to do LSAT prep while there. I am very hard working and driven which has also made more prone to burn out just because I always try to do too much and overthink everything (as you will see from this post). I am afraid the same would happen for my LSAT and Oxford program so I am seeking advice on how to go about it.
I did a diagnostic test and I got 139 and my goal is in the range of 167-172 (I need about 30 points increase which is a lot I know). I am really bad at standardized tests but I know I can improve with practice. I also like the learning that comes with LSAT so I am motivated in that way. I am willing to take as much time and effort as possible to reach my target score even if that means taking time off after college. But I also can't help but want to go directly to law school.
I have been working at a T14 law school and a top law firm this summer which has been a great experience. The general advice I would often hear with the legal professionals and my colleagues is that we highly recommend taking time off after college but they would tell me that they don't think I need that. They would say I am already mature enough and have the experiences of a professional. I am a couple of years older than the typical college student. This is not to brag but to give a perspective, I also founded my NGO at age 16, managed grants projects with +100k dollars budget, and I have lived and worked internationally. At my college, I have loved the academics and studying but it has been harder to connect with the rest of the student body because it feels that we are at different stages of our lives. Even my professors would say that I am like a grad student to them and I have built great relationships with them.
Now all that to say is I am impatient about law school and becoming a lawyer and I think I am ready for it. But I am also very insecure about my LSAT and ability to improve within that time frame I have left (a year) given my intensive academic program. What are your thoughts? Am I being irrational and paranoid? Do you think my LSAT target score is realistic within that timeframe? Also, should I just let go of studying for LSAT at Oxford and instead focus on my program there and plan to apply to law school in the 2024 or 2025 cycle?
I have noticed these forums have been very helpful others so wanted to give it a try and be as transparent and vulnerable about my worries as possible.
Thank you everyone!
Where can I find how difficult a LG full-section for a given PT and not just how difficult a given Game is?
For example, say I did a PT number X's LG section. where can I find it's difficulty comparison with PT-Y's LG section?
Looking for something other than adding difficulty of individual games of pt X to compare with PT Y.
Hi all! I have been doing well with the concepts behind how to weaken an argument. Don't attack the premise or conclusion, rather thin out and weaken the support structure. However, I seem to get it on the first round but in my BR I end up falling for the trap answers and just changing my course of reasoning. Helppp!!! Any and all tips are welcome!
Does anyone have experience (either themselves or know of someone else) who has applied to law school during their third year of undergrad? How did it go?
Hi all! I'm writing my first LSAT in August, and I was wondering when I should be expecting the email to sign up for Proctor U and schedule my exam time? I couldn't find any answers on the LSAC website, so I'm reaching out to you lovely people!

Hi there! Im looking to see if there is any interest from people for a little group that are planning to take the 2023 summer LSATs?!
I need help, I suck big time in LR and I’m terrified, my test is in September! What should I do, I quit my two jobs and still can’t feel, I’m able to grasp this LR section. Never felt this way toward an exam before.
For each drill question, it shows a "curve" for the likelyhood of someone with that score getting the question right. But im feeling a bit confused on what that exactly means. So if the black bar is at "135" for example, it means that someone with a 135 was likely to get that question right?
Just started RC for like a month. Realize that most of questions I got wrong are either because I think too much or think too little (ignore some details which are stupidly obvious). Also struggling with time… Too much time wasted on reading and overthinking… I am not a good reader. The only books I ve read in my life are textbooks… Did my best to follow what JY suggested but got -14 on the Feb 1997 PT and scored 155. Feel crashed… I mean at least I need get over 160… A lot of people say I just need to practice more. But seriously, can practice actually make you better (not even perfect) on RC?
Hello,
I am having troubles with my lsat score not improving. However it is also not declining either which is good (I hope)
Looking for some advice from anyone who has overcome this problem. I plan on applying for law school this fall and would really like to overcome this ASAP.
So, I always do really great in practice and drills, but everytime I take a prep test I just dont do well. I will go through 30 questions timed and get nearly every single one right while I am drilling different things, but then I sit down to do a whole prep test and get way too many wrong even though I know what I have to do. Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips? I feel like maybe I am not taking the prep tests as seriously as I should and not acting as if they are the real thing to really see where I am at.
What I put; A irrelevance to argument.
Wrong bc.
The conclusion itself is that selfishness is true of all time periods. This is the argument, it is not irrelevant to the argument. It is just argued poorly.
The correct anser is E.
The argument uses selfishness in two ways.
At first, characterizes selfishness as individualism.
Them, says that acts on behalf of the human species are selfish.
Acting on behalf of the human species may be selfish, but it is not individualistic.
The argument that all periods, not just the 80s, can be characterized by selfish individualism, is not advanced by saying acts on behaf of humankind r selfish
