So just out of curiosity, why is the "normal" way to handle this grouping not explained in this video and where can I find the "normal" explanation with rows instead of shapes? I am not crazy about the fact this is $60 a month and I am getting taught different ways of handling a game then I am used to two days before the test. That's great that visually it is cleaner to use shapes for the instructor, but I am not a fan and want the regular explanation (without shapes). Please tell me where to get the "other lesson" reference he makes in the video that goes over this game. We shouldn't have to pay for the regular version of this explanation on top of the $60 per month. Alternate methods with shapes should be done in "other lessons". Some feedback for the 7sage folks. Thanks

How is everyone feeling a few days out from this weekend? Personally, I'm highly freaking out and trying to tie up last minute loose ends, but also just accepting that I may need to retake in a couple months. Mostly, I'm just worried about the proctor being difficult or something going wrong during my exam. I heard a lot of issues occurred for the Sept test takers.

Any last minute tips/tricks?

I am debating whether or not to take my LSAT this weekend or wait it out till January. I don't feel very confident I will get the score I want (160+) but I also don't want to wait too long to submit a complete application. I guess my question is if I can ensure I'll get a much better score holding off till January, will that hurt my chances into getting into the school I want? The application deadline for the schools I'm looking at are all in the beginning of march. By the way this is my last time I'm able to take the test (already taken it 4 times). I probably already know my answer, but should I take the test knowing I'll probably score below the median or wait, continue my studies, and shoot for the 75th percentile (162 for the main school I'm looking at).

Hey guys, I don't really know who to talk to about this because no one in my family or in my friend group has pursued law before. I'm just really nervous. My goal score is high 150s to the low 160s. My average is ~158 - 159. I took a PT last Friday, timed conditions, scored a 159. Great. Yes. Fantastic. I took a timed PT this Monday, scored a 156 (I ran out of time on the LG, totally freezed up, idk what happened). Kind of confused. I seem to really fluctuate between 157-159 to 160-161. But even then, my "160" scores were either tests with an untimed LG section or totally untimed altogether.

I've been really drilling LG and I'm pretty fast at them now, my average is -3.7 I believe, and I can comfortably complete a section of games with about like ~70 - 80% accuracy. I diagram pretty well, though sometimes I have to brute force my way through some of the harder/hardest games.

However, the rest of my section scores are kind of wonky,

I seem to fluctuate between 7-9 wrong on LR. I know this is the section that I've been struggling to wrap my head around. I'm really good at some types of questions, but dismal on others. My weakest points really seem to be NA, SA, and MC type questions. I'm going to start (tomorrow) and go through this section in the CC again.

With my RC I don't even know. I'm a decent reader (it's been my strongest skill throughout school) , but holy shit guys, I went from -6 to -8, to like pulling -8 to -11. It's like the hat trick from hell. I don't know if this is common to see such a decrease after studying for a bit?

(I have noticed on the timed portions of LR I feel like I actually do a bit better, while on the untimed doing a bit worse, while at the same time I cant really nail down what's wrong with the RC section, I feel like I just lose focus)

I guess all of this is to say, I'm taking the November LSAT. I thought I was going to be prepared when I signed up, but honestly, a month out, I'm still feeling a bit rough, and the uncertainty is killing me.

You guys think it would be possible to score a high 150/160 in NOV? My goal is the law school at Oregon University, their median LSAT score is 158 it seems (25th being 155, 75th being 161), with a GPA of 3.57 (I'm literally .01 below that lmao) Let me know below in the poll or the comments. Sorry for the relatively "Oh boo-hoo woe is me" type post, but I figured a discussion with you guys could help me sort some things out and come up with a better strategy.

Hi ,

I am planning on taking the January LSAT and i want a study buddy.

It would really help to have study sessions and go through test prep together.

I can do online, or in person.

I am free anytime after 4pm + weekends.

For context I have taken the LSAT before and got a 160. For the last little while (~2 mos.) I have been consistently PTing between 165-168 and am taking the test in a couple of days. I took my last PT (PT 89) before Friday thinking it would help me keep my skills sharp for the next few days (with plans to review and drill leading up to Thursday), but I've suddenly dropped down to a 161. Needless to say I just went from confident to extremely nervous and upset.

I have just started with the LSAT preparations, and I am looking for some reference books along with 7Sage live classes. Can you please suggest me few good reference books which has good tips to improve the LSAT scores...:)

I'm REALLY struggling from moving from a 159 to a 160. I've done drills, PT's and I hit a 158-159 and then drop down. I honestly can't understand why. When I look through my wrong answers it's usually one's which JY describes as "really easy to get incorrect" because of trap answers, but I don't know how to walk myself out of the traps!! and they tend to be the second most popular answer choice. I get on average -7 to -11 in each section with RC being the hardest for me.

any tips to break this ASAP??

Hi everyone,

I'm taking the Oct LSAT (ahh!!) and hoping to brush up on some LG games that focus on de Morgan's rules. Does anyone have a list of ones that I can practice? Don't believe there's a filter for it in the Drills. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi everyone,

First time poster here. I just started my study journey for the February 2023 LSAT. I actually took the LSAT about five years ago and did terribly as I mistakenly thought I could cram 3 weeks before the exam.

As far as the new format as the test goes, can anyone share any tips? I took a digital diagnostic on Khan a few days ago and I felt it was much harder to stay focused reading digitally as opposed to on paper. I know we can have scratch paper for the games, but how did you guys manage to not physically mark up reading comp for instance?

Thanks!

I've tried time and again, but I'm just not grasping this weakening concept. Especially if the stem is asking me to find the correct answer, "if true". I don't know why, but everything I've learned in MSS has me wired to not believe these.

In addition, trying to find the support between the Premise and Conclusion is leaving me blank and lost.

Any tips?

I was tripped by q7 and q12 of this passage, as I didn't equate "historical novel"in psg-A with "real life events", which it seems after looking at credited choice LSAC test makers expect you to. I read it more as a novel set during some historical period.

Due to this reason alone, I eliminated credited choice for central theme in both passages question (q7) that included "real events", and picked another choice that i didn't particularly like.

Isn't that a presumption from test makers about "historical novel"? Isn't "historical novel" a novel, so it's not necessarily "real"?

Why do lsat test makers presume that "historical novel" means real events only?

Im confused as to what the difference between the pt's before 2020 and the modern option is. How should we be taking the ones before 2020, with the stimulate modern option or all 4 sections? and. How are the before 2020 ones scored? are all 4 sections scored?
