Hi guys! Looking for several LSAT buddies to study with, specifically targeting the LR section, for the August 2022 test date! My goal is a 172 and currently scoring in the mid and high 160s!
I have been taking PrepTests from earliest to latest and have been steadily improving, with my highest being a 164 and hovering around the 162 area. But when I took PrepTest 90, I felt amazing and was flying through the questions much faster and with more ease than I usually do. I ended up getting a 168. I checked and saw that PrepTests 90-92 were based on the first LSAT Flex in May 2020. How do these PrepTests compare with the current online LSAT? Are they around the same difficulty? I am taking the upcoming June LSAT. Thank you.
I never got an email to make a proctoru username and password but now it says I have to log in???
what do I do
I am not sure why the correct answer is (A). I have tried to reason for why it could be (A) but it does not really make sense to me.
would answer choice B be incorrect because of "do not know?" what makes A a better choice?

Nothing fancy tho, I just created a secondary account where I'll mostly post about my daily study progress. Will be using Flow app + PDF schedulers to keep track of my daily improvements. Plus some motivational quotes here and there to keep the spirits high. I'd love it if we interacted with each other from time to time. What do you think? I'll send you my IG handle if anyone's interested.
I cannot devote full-time to the taking of LSAT because I need to go out and work. Usually, I get 4-6 hours of studying time per day. I am wondering if any of you might be able to take a look at my study plan and provide any feedback.
Day 1: Take a new PT + Review 1 old LG section
Day 2: Blind review the new PT + Review 1 old LG section
Day 3: Create a wrong answer journal for LR and RC for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section
Day 4: Categorize the LR question stems for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section
Day 5: Foolproof the LG section for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section
Any thoughts?
Taking the June LSAT this Saturday. I have been taking as many tests as I can recently, taking PT 92 today and getting my highest score. I have 2 more full days before test day. What do y'all suggest one does in these upcoming days? I was planning on taking another PT tomorrow and then taking a break the day before the test. I am starting to think I should not take another PT and keep my confidence up with the one I took today. I do know that there is room for improvement for my PT scores, so should I try to maximize that before test day, or is it too close to make any progress?
Also, what kind of advice would you give for test day? My test is at 1pm, so what would you recommend I do that morning?

Hello everyone!
I applied for Fall 2022 but did not get into my top choices so I'm reapplying.
Here's my numbers,
Untimed:
LG: usually -2 or under
LR: usually -4 or under
RC: RC varies pretty wildly, usually ranges from -4 to -10
Timed:
LG: around -4
LR: around -8
RC: usually around -10
This tells me that I could score anywhere from 160 to 170ish (My real score is around 160 but goal is to hit 170+)
*One caveat is that these estimates are based on individual sections of different PTs. So it does not take into account how some sections might be easier than others for a specific test (I.e., they are not representative of actual tests). The numbers can be skewed if I happened to use hard RC LR LG when I study and vice versa.
I don't think I can improve a meaningful amount on RC, and I'm signed up for August LSAT.
I realize that the best way to get the most accurate score is to get an average of fresh PTs in the late 80s and early 90s which I have not done so far. I plan to do this about a month before the real test.
I'm tempted to take a fresh PT untimed to see my full potential, I would estimate my score to be anywhere from high 160s to mid 170s.
Should I push back the exam? Is 3 months enough time to improve from averaging 160 to averaging 170?
I study about 2-3 hours a day almost every day.
Any advice will be much appreciated! :)
I know most apps open Sep 1/Sep 15. I've heard it's better to wait to submit until early October. Does anyone know why/if that's true? TYIA!

Hi Everyone! I started to do Prep Tests (have completed about 6), however on the Analytics page, it doesn't seem to update and only shows data from one test. Has anyone had a similar issue?
I arrived at the correct answer, (A), by process of elimination. I understand why (B)-(E) are incorrect, but how does (A) strengthen the argument?
Im just wondering is there any limitations on writing test date? can I do it the day after the multiple choice test ?
How can I do the logic game problem set over without seeing the answers? I did it one time, struggled now want to do it for the second time. Please help!
How long does it typically take to study for the LSAT? I’m retaking my test in September and I’m working through the core curriculum now. Is 3 months studying 30-40 hours a week a reasonable timeframe?
Hey all! Just need some advice on which section of the CC I should dive into first. I know typically it's recommended to follow the outlined structure: LR -> LG -> RC. I worked on LR predominantly on another curriculum before switching to 7Sage and it's one of my better sections. I haven't touched LG, at all, and know it's my weakest.
That being said, do you recommend I just tackle LG first?
hello guys,
i am looking at the lsat score conversion calculator that is provided on the home page of 7 sage. What is confusing me is this: when i put the number of questions that I'm allowed to get wrong in order to calculate what it takes to get the score i want, should I put the number of wrong questions on the entire 100 questions of the test or only on the 3 graded sections which make up roughly 75 questions? i ask this because if lets say I make 20 mistakes in 100 questions, but 15 in the 75 questions, I am not sure which one to put in the conversion calculator. When I put 15, I obviously get a better score, but im not sure if this number is inflated because it is assuming a lower group of questions per test then the calculator intends for me to assume.
I would appreciate your help as it would allow me to see how close to my goal I really am!
So I took the June 2007 test before doing much of the material. I missed one question in logical reasoning and two in reading comprehension (and bombed the logic games). Obviously I'm focusing my prep on the logic games right now. But should I feel secure in my ability with the logical reasoning+reading comprehension? Could that one test be a fluke? How much prep should I do with those two sections? I'm aiming for an excellent score; I'd like to go to a top law school.
Thanks!
LSAC just sent out an email mentioning that we should not take the test in a room with floor to ceiling windows, but this wasn't explicitly discussed in the Candidate Agreement. The candidate agreement says no rooms with glass walls (like cubicles), so this entire time I've been planning to take my test in my kitchen where I have a dining table. However, the kitchen leads to the backyard so there is a sliding door that is almost floor to ceiling...what should I do?
Hi, does anyone know how to get rid of the blue messenger icon in the corner? It directly covers the "next" arrow when I'm taking practice modules and it's really annoying. Can't seem to find a way to disable it.
Backstory is I'm applying for my second year, I have a 160 on the books but applied way too late so I'm taking another shot in August before I put in applications in the 22 cycle.
I consistently test out at 165, looking to work on my endurance for RC and LR but I haven't done any LG in a few months. If others are is in a similar setting then let's get a study group off the ground.
Hi - I am confused - do we need to create a ProctorU username and password ahead of time?
It seems to suggest it in Step#4 here: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat
but it wouldn't let me when I tried here: https://go.proctoru.com/students/users/new
I think I have learned the key to LR.
Overall you can classify most LR questions by the type of answer they are looking for.
Powerful Question Types
Strengthen
Weaken
Sufficient Assumption
Paradox
Provable
Necessary Assumption
Flaw
Main Conclusion
If you focus in on these chareteristics of correct answer choices you will be able to rule out most of the time 3/5 answer choices. Leaving you with a 50 percent chance to get the answer correct. Once you've done this you look at the two answer choices and look to see whats wrong with one rather than whats correct about one.
