Hi all :)

I’ve been doing 2-3 PTs a week after finishing all CC, and have somewhat reached a stable mid160s (BR: 168-172ish). My main sources were PT45-70, always took it under exact test conditions (4 sections timed).

I’ll be taking April 2022 lsat (goal score: 174) so I’ll eventually have to slowly transfer to the newer PTs, but was hoping if I could get some advice on this transition.

Current situation:

  • RC: My weakest is RC and I’m slowly seeing improvement. I’d be happy to see around -4, which happens occasionally. Shivering at all the horror stories of recent LSAT RC being much harder.
  • LR: -2~3 on good day around -5~6 on not so good ones. Currently really digging into the subtle weaknesses/errors.
  • LG: -1~-2. Foolproofing everyday.
  • Advice I’m hoping for, if any, are:

  • what to expect for each sections (gets harder in what way/easier in what way/time-consuming, etc)
  • if I were to work on improving weaknesses to be prepared for recent PTs, any helpful areas/topics/skills to focus on for each section? Things you guys wished you would’ve done or known before facing them?
  • Thank you, and I just rly hope it’s not as bad as I fear (tears)

    June LSAT Study Schedule

    Hey! I just finished with core curriculum and was wondering what prep tests I should be focusing on? It's about 16 weeks left of studying. I'm a full-time student so probably could take 1-2 prep tests a week.

    Hi All..Quick Q. On the following sentence, using rule 3 (pick one part of the relationship, negate it, then make it the sufficient condition):

    "It's not over until the fat lady sings."

    O>FLS (on this part, do I think of the negating on the "O, over" because I removed the "Not" in the sentence before it?

    /FLS>/O

    I keep getting confused on this because of the definition of Negate, i.e. to deny, to declare not to be true. Thanks so much!

    Hi 7Sage!

    I’m reaching out to see if anyone is interested in forming a study group for the March LSAT.

    I started studying late October and got a 167 on the January test. Blind reviewing at 175. I’m looking to form a small group to help keep each other honest while we study for March. Aiming for 170+ this time around- let’s get to it!

    Raw Score to get 174?

    Hi All!

    I am having some trouble finding this information. I am aiming for a 174, but I can't find much information on how many total questions wrong I can hit to achieve that score in the current format of 1LR 1RC and 1LG. Does anyone know? The 7sage calculator seems a bit wonky.

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would want to join a study group with me to prepare for the June 2022 exam. Specifically, if you're ADHD/ND it would be great if we could keep each other accountable and share tips as to what works for our brains! I'd like to take 1-2 tests a week and review them together, and I'm PTing high 160s right now :) DM me or reply to this thread if you're interested!

    Hi everyone!

    I am having a lot of trouble with my logic reasoning section. I usually only miss 1-4 questions on LR and RC really depends, but my LR is always my most missed section missing around 10-14 questions. I really don't know what to focus on. I've done the core lessons and almost all of the lessons on LR, and im just not sure how else to improve my score in this section and im starting to feel like a lost cause. Is there any recommendations or tips anyone use to improve in this section? I take the march LSAT so I just want some tips and tricks to help me before that exam.

    LOCI?

    Any pointers on how to draft a good LOCI especially when your score is below their median? And would anyone be so kind to review mine?

    Hi fellow 7sagers!

    I'm wondering when is appropriate to ask for merit scholarship reconsideration from schools. Currently I am admitted into school X and Y, both being in the same tier. School X offers me more scholarship money and has higher ranking, but I like school Y more. I am still waiting for most schools I applied to, and I am expecting a higher LSAT score that will be released on March 3rd. Is it appropriate to ask for scholarship reconsideration from one school more than once? If I ask school Y now and they give me more money, does it look bad to ask school Y again in the future if I get a bigger scholarship from another school?

    Thank you!

    Question recycled

    If I put my cursor on the recycle image, I used to be able to check when I took that certain problem before (date, number of times taken etc.). I can't do that anymore somehow, and I'm wondering if that is an issue on my end or 7sage in general. Thank you in advance!

    I am looking for a study buddy to work together with over the next several months in preparation for the April 2022 exam. The ideal person would be working full or part time, in EST timezone, testing in the high 160's low 170's, and interested in doing BR and review together.

    A bit about me: I have been studying (on and off) since November 2020 while working full-time in environmental advocacy. My first take was in June 2021 and I got a 169 (at that time I was PTing in the mid 160s). After taking about a 6-month break, I got back into things in January 2022. At this point I am PTing in the low 170's/high 160's. My target score is between 171 and 173. I study in the morning before work and have availability to meet most evenings after work hours.

    DM if you are interested.

    Did anyone take look at this question, why is the answer not C. It states that price of the reserve is set high enough to yield profit. That means that the seller will make profit on the item , hence the reserve price is needed for desirable item. Any thoughts?

    Hi everyone!

    I searched for this question on the forums and had not found a topic, even though its marked as a difficult question (171 level). After review the AC is fairly obvious, but I am posting to help people that may be confused by this question, and if I say anything wrong, please correct me!

    This question is a Necessary Assumption question, basically meaning that if the answer choice is not true, the argument totally falls apart.

    A: Incorrect, this does not have to be true for the argument to stay together.

    C Incorrect: Who cares about other arts?

    D : Incorrect: It does not need to have increased for the argument to be ok, more shows with the same amount of people also works as an increase in public interest.

    E: Incorrect: My AC during the test. This is incorrect because it does not matter what the intentions of the opera companies were when they established their companies. All the argument talks about is an explosion of public interest for opera, and that 45 companies founded in the last 30 years, is evidence for this. Assuming E is false, it does not destroy the argument.

    Therefore the correct answer is B Which must 100% be true. If its not true, that at a minimum, 45 opera companies opened and ceased operations in the time period where the argument is saying public interest EXPLODED. Do you see the problem here? If all 45 of those founded companies went out of business in the same time period, can you really claim this to be the reason opera exploded in public interest?

    Wondering if anyone here found the actual filling out and submitting of applications a problem. Personally I kept getting kicked out of the LSAC portal, which kept claiming I had several applications open. I didn’t realize how involved the process would be. I inferred that because we were paying LSAC to facilitate the process it would be somewhat seamless. I’m kicking myself because a couple of my applications were incomplete. Thank everyone. Best of luck in the cycle. Hope you get what you all want!

    Just wondering if there is anyone in the same boat. I have a super demanding job that can easily take up 60 hours in a week (and frequently does). I'm trying to study at least 20 hrs a week, mostly doing nights and weekends. Is that a recipe for burnout or does it sound sustainable? Planning to study for 4 months!
