When I practice RC sections in just a 35-minute block, I am averaging -3. I am still working to fix my flaws, but I'm usually getting maybe only one wrong per passage. When I am doing a practice test, my RC section drops down to a -8. I know in the moment that I can feel that I am not as focused, but I am not sure what I can do to correct this. Any tips? Thank you!!!

Good luck everyone tomorrow and the following days!

Get rest, remember to breathe and celebrate!!!

I have only been studying since late May and take my first (and hopefully only) official LSAT Friday. That being said, my studying has gone well, and I have had 3 PTs at or above my goal score and have seen more consistency on sections in the past month. However, I have been told that people often score lower on test day than they do on PTs. I know this will obviously vary from person to person, but have you experienced worse performance on test day than you do on PTs, or have you scored within your practice range on the real deal?

Will you not get scholarships if you apply to law school in December for January ?

hello everyone!

I'm taking the LSAT this Saturday 8/8, and I just registered to take it again in October. I decided to register for another one because my prep scores are not where I'd want them to be.

I went from really understanding the foundational concepts in the beginning of my study journey and doing well in LR, to eventually feeling overwhelmed with everything I learned and finding myself stalling during questions. I would get all questions that are difficulty level 1-3 correct, and miss level 4 questions. Then eventually, I found myself randomly missing even the most simple questions because I would overcomplicate both the stimulus and question.

I'm planning on going into the August exam and give it my all, but my new plan immediately after is preparing myself for the October test. My undergrad GPA is a 3.2 from UCLA, not the best, and so I'm really depending on my lsat score to be a 170 and above for both scholarship purposes and overall choices.

can anyone give me some advice on what to focus on from here. do I go back to foundations for a while, should I focus on drilling and reviewing wrong answer choices, little bit of both? I just don't want to waste time again and I want to ensure my study method is strong. any tips or methods that have worked for you guys would be really useful for me. also I'm curious to know how often you all study...I work 8-5 mon-friday, so I'm not sure if that schedule is getting in my way more than I think.

and if you're in the same boat with any of this, I'd love to hear your experience as well.

thank you!

I went from a 149 in May on PT140 to a 162 yesterday on PT143 and I am ecstatic!

I'll be working on endurance in the coming months as I prepare to take the October exam (currently focusing just on the actual scored sections, but exp is next), but I'm wondering where I should continue next. I am super proud & motivated with my progress as I started seriously studying last month, but I want to keep up the motivation and focus up.

What else can I focus on? Should I be drilling, doing sections, reviewing, reading more? I've been finding that I struggle far more on recent RC than earlier RC passages.

Thanks!! 7sage has been so helpful for me the past month and I am so excited about the future!

Guys, does the official LSAT still allow highlighting on RC like they do on LawHub?? August testakers please let me know, all these interface changes are adding unnecessary stress.

Is it possible to have joint LR and RC drills? 10 LR questions, directly followed by 2 RC passages for example. Or, have the option to combine sections — 1 LR, 1 RC, almost like a half PT — instead of having to review, exit and choose another section.

Often I find I have 60/90 mins to study. It would be great if I could load up one beefy drill covering both LR/RC, or a combined section including 1 LR and 1 RC.

I find that a major part of the test is staying locked in whilst not getting any feedback on how you're doing. This feature would help train that aspect of the LSAT, whilst not committing you to a full PT which can be time consuming.

Thanks

It's a little harder to see now and it looks like they made it light gray on gray?

Does anybody want to join the study room general today and start group drill around 8:30PM?

Hi!! Wanted to see if there was anyone in Irvine/surrounding OC area that wanted to meet up at a cafe in Irvine to just do some studying, reviewing together, and overall just keeping each other accountable! Half the battle of the LSAT is staying motivated and I feel like doing this in person is more effective than relying on a chat :) I work full time so it would have to be after working hours or weekends. LMK!

So I’m taking the LSAT tomorrow, my last official PT score was a 160 (my goal score) and I have just been feeling so incredibly nervous this entire week. Last time I took the official test I scored a 155 because I was so anxious and panicked, so I ended up guessing and it was like all my work went out the window, and I really don’t want that happening now. I also took an RC section yesterday and got a 17/26 so I’m slightly panicked at what if the same thing happens or for some reason the actual test is harder and I just panic even more.

I scored a 151 on my diagnostic, but after learning the entire core curriculum, doing blind reviews, and going into depth on why my answers are wrong, I am still scoring in the low 150s. I took an untimed test and scored in the low 160s (which is better) but I thought I had more knowledge of the lsat than that. Progress just feels super slow, and I think I’m getting to a point where it’s really the frustration that’s making me lose hope. Anyone else in a similar position?

When I blind review/ scrutinize a question to understand where I went wrong, I find it somewhat distracting to go back and forth from the question, pen and paper notes, and typing on my computer (particularly with grammar and conditional reasoning)

Does anyone know the tools or software JY and Kevin use when explaining questions?

The section time is skewed a bit because I had answered a few questions in class, then began it on my personal computer. Outside of that though, I missed one! The progress has been slow but steady. I usually miss 6-7 questions. Seeing such changes is super motivating and exciting. The hard part now is to keep it going! I wish everyone the best of luck on their studying and tests!! Stay Swag 💯💯

Hi everyone I just recently came back to studying for the LSAT again, and I tried the new AI feature after reviewing a drill. It told me this:

"Since this was an untimed drill (Unlimited), I recommend skipping Blind Review for future untimed practices. Without a timer, your first pass is already your untimed best! You can just submit the drill and go straight into reviewing your incorrect answers."

I've always done BR for everything, and I never realized that what the AI said is kinda true. Do other people also skip BR for untimed drills? Is it more helpful to skip BR to tackle more drills or do you still do BR because it is more helpful that way?

The interface has changed so much in the past few weeks, I'm not even surprised if they actually made this change 3 days before the August exam. Not sure if my LawHub is just glitching.

Also (as a general rant), the LawHub UI is so infuriating! They promised they'd be done rolling out changes in June and yet keep making new awful changes so so close to the test :(

every time i try to play an explanation video it plays for 1-2 mins before the side window disappears and I have to click on it to open again. The discussion tab does the same thing, I can only read a sentence or two before the side tab goes away and I have to reopen it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm about to go back to lsat demon because it is getting so annoying and taking up so much time. is it a wifi issue? a spyware issue from lsat writing? I'm so frustrated

I recently posted I didnt do well on an exam and the day afterwards I was disappointed so I was like I can't go out like this and I did a practice test to prove I could do better. The first test I got a 153. The second 159. The test I took two weeks ago was a 158. I did worse than usual on my RC so several reasons on the test I got a 153 so I want to give myself grace but I dont want to ever score in the early or mid 150s anymore. I want to start scoring in the 160s to so I can get a very good score by October l. I guess just writing my thoughts for the test I got a 159. I only got 2 incorrect in one section. So its in me

Yo, I have been studying the LSAT since last year. I started June last year, went somewhat consistently for about a month and a half and then dropped it. I picked it up again heavily around february, stopped again after about a month and have been going at it actually consistently since beginning of June. I've increased around 7 points in total since I have started. I have done over 700+ questions and many, many hours. I just cannot seem to get past a curve that I dont even know where it begins. Im at the point now, with such a low score, that I am not even sure if this test is even feasbile for me to even continue to do. Applying with my current score (around 155) is not worth it in my eyes.

Right now, I am drilling with timed and untimed, doing review journals, did another course outside of 7sage, and have been trying a lot. I am not sure if anyone else has encountered something like this before, but I would love to hear if you are currently here and especially if you got out of a spot like this. For me, I really want to get a higher score, but I do not even think its feasible...

Any tips, advice, or anything like that is needed.

I'd like to know I'm not alone on just struggling in this regard. Studying exhausts my work brain, and my work brain exhausts my study brain, don't know what to do about it at this point. I'm married and while I don't have kids, I have until recently been dealing with a lot of problems with my family too. My tests next month but I'm stuck 3 points below my goal score on my most recent PTs and don't know how to progress. And while I'm happy for the community, it can get very discouraging logging in and seeing people posting about their 178-180 PT scores.

I remember hearing in the 7sage podcast that, at least, fulltime work while applying is a powerful soft factor and that's my sole consolation.

I'm curious what others would do in this situation.

I'm trying to decide between taking the October or November LSAT. October would let me submit my applications earlier, but November gives me another month to improve. My concern is that November scores don't come out until December 2, and I'm worried that may be too late for rolling admissions.

If you were in my position, would you prioritize applying earlier with October or wait for a potentially stronger score in November?
