Hi everyone,

I am just wondering what we should do to keep track of questions we get wrong on RC. I was told that we should keep a wrong answer journal for LR, which is something I had been doing on the LR section of the CC (I am on the game section now). Do we also make a wrong answer journal for RC? How do we keep track? Please help me!

Hey guys I just took the LSAT writing for my august test, and I feel a bit worried because when it asked me to take a picture of my ID, the pictures kept coming out kind of blurry. I tried for maybe 5 or 10 minutes to get my computer camera to focus on my ID, but it was still a bit blurry, though you could clearly see it was me in the picture. I'm a bit worried because it said that unclear photos can result in "exam cancellation" whatever that means. Is this something I should be worried about or am I overreacting? Anyone else have an issue with this?

I would like to get advices how to hit two birds with one stone: how to hone your LSAT skills while you are in 1L law school. I'm currently a 1L law school student, thinking to take the LSAT once again just for personal reasons and wanted to ask experts or the experienced how to concurrently hone LSAT skills while reading the cases in your doctrinal classes.

Thank you in advance!

Hey all, I currently have a discord chat for the Oct/Nov administration for the exam. This is for people who want to score in the 170s consistently.

Please PM me if you want to join. Space is limited so it will be a first come, first serve basis.

Thank you.

Q5. Which one of the following indicates an error in the reasoning leading to the prediction above?

Can anybody explain what's wrong with answer choices A and C and explain answer choice .

Please and thank you

Hey y'all, is anyone interested in joining my study group where we do a PT every other day and go over it? I'm interested in working with people who are high scorers in LR and RC. I can help with games.

Hey guys, I took the LSAT for the first time this August.

On test day, I also submitted my writing portion. Right before the time was up as I was proofing what I wrote, I noticed a word had incorrectly auto-corrected to "succumbed" instead of "survived," but the time ended before I could fix it!

I'm so upset because rather than your standard typo it appears that I do not understand the meaning of the word "succumbed!!" Do you all think I should submit another writing sample? Will admissions teams still see the old version anyway? Maybe I should do another and correctly work in the word succumbed just to show that I do know what it means, ugh.

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if you all had been advised on how long is too long for an addendum?

I am submitting one to explain a low GPA. I think I have decently good reasons and evidence for how I have changed the situation since I was an undergraduate student, but I'm really not sure how much detail to include in my story.

I think I've written a compelling story that is a page and a half long. I could take out a lot of detail and squeeze it back down to one page, but I feel the bare bones version is significantly less interesting and obviously takes away a good deal of context. What are y'alls thoughts on this?

PS, I'm applying at schools in the 60-80 range

Could anyone tell me if two months is enough time to STUDY for the LSAT?

I ran into something that kind of tripped me up and I wanted to hear from someone else (hint, it's the phrase "in order to"). Can I break the argument down as follows?

Because studies show that flex is associated with morale(P), ABC should therefore flex (SCC), therefore increasing production(MCC).

I'm offering a series of free tutoring sessions on various topics I found useful in getting me to the 170s+.

This upcoming session will be on strategies to improve your speed on LR sections without compromising accuracy. We will cover things like multi-step checkpoints to use to know whether to skip a question, how to leave time for a round 2 for skipped questions, what to do with your skipped questions (which ones to do first), what to do when you're left with 2 answer choices, and question-type specific advice. We'll also look at how LR questions have changed in the PTs from the 80s.

A law school I'm applying to has this as a description for whether to attach an addendum to an application:

"We encourage you to provide any relevant information that may be helpful to us in making an informed decision on your application. Any information that you believe to be relevant to your application is appropriate."

I'm debating between adapting my personal statement to be curtailed to each law school I apply to, or to attach a longer "Why X Law School" statement in my addendum to my top-choice law schools. Attaching the addendum would allow me to get more in depth (as opposed to a personal statement which would be more brief) about why a specific law school would truly help me. Basically, I'm asking is it appropriate to, and if so, should I I include a "Why X Law School" statement as an addendum?

I completed my LSAT writing for January's test- and I just retook the test in August. Do I need to do another LSAT writing sample?

Hi,

Does anyone have any study tips for understanding converse/inverse statements that appear on LR questions to trick the test taker?

For example, on Necessary or Sufficient Assumption questions, I have a difficult time differentiating the converse/inverse from the contrapositive, and because of the time constraint, I consistently get these answers wrong.

Hi everyone! I just got back to college this past year. I am hoping to take the LSAT again in January and apply by February. I took the LSAT back in April for the first time. I am hoping to improve with a 10-20 point increase. Is taking two practice tests a week with Blind review a good method to study? I am forgetting how to attack the LSAT again....

Hi! If you're scoring in the 170s in PTs in the 40s through 60s but your score drops to mid to higher 160s in the 70s and 80s would the latter be more reflective of your potential score for the real lsat? If you experienced a score slump in the more recent PTs which sections were you getting most wrong in? and what did you do to improve? Is it useful to practice with earlier PTs if the recent lsats are modeled more on 70s and 80s?

hey guys,

this is just a little rant I guess. I thought I was improving and bringing up my score and I did prep test 88 for games alone and got -12 it was really hard for me and I struggled ALOT. Usually on games I get anywhere between -3-5 wrong. This was just a very shitty experience. It sucks I have to pay the 200$ Canadian to move it but I would also rather move it than get a low score. I don't know if anyone feels like this but it definitely is just a shitty feeling when you feel like you progressed but didn't. On the bright side I am happy because I will still be able to apply for my schools and all with the November score it will delay me by a month but I'd rather be delayed with a higher score.

Hello everyone after taking the August LSAT and a short break I want to give back. I want to offer free tutoring to everyone, one on one or groups depending on demand, on weekends. I was consistently scoring 170+ by the end of my studying, but please keep in mind I am by no means professional tutor so only take this as supplemental help to other resources. Comment down below if interested and I will message you directly with more information.

This Weekend will be doing Blind review for PT 50 Section 2 (LR) on Saturday (9/ 4/2021) @12:30p.m.(ET) and Sunday (9/5/2021) @7:30p.m.(ET)

Also Blind Review for PT 50 Section 1 (LG) on Sunday (9/5/2021) @3:00p.m. (ET)

Anyone interested in reviewing some logic games today? Scoring in high 160s.

I'm taking the October LSAT and have a bit more than one month left for prep. My goal is to break consistently into the high 170's.

So far, I've taken 18 full-length timed PT's incl. BR: J07 (161), 36 (180), 37 (169), 38 (169), 39 (170), 62 (177), 63 (174), 64 (176), 65 (171), 67 (171), 68 (177), 69 (172), 70 (173), 71(173), 80 (170), 79 (175), 82 (172), 83 (172) - in that order.

From PT69 onwards, I've really been stuck in the low-170's. I still have September to improve, and planned to do PT84-May20 & eventually PT81 and PTC2. The plan was to continue having faith in the BR process and rigorously review the test every time after I take it, understand why each correct AC is correct and why each is wrong, become certain why I was attracted by wrong AC and what drove me away from the AC etc.

However, I'm not really sure whether this will allow me to achieve my goal:

It doesn't seem to be an issue of focus or silly mistakes, since I typically finish the sections on time and the LR-questions I miss are typically the ones that I only understand all AC after very rigorous review (from PT79 onwards, I even got some of them wrong during BR - I feel that the 80's have way more hard LR questions and way more subtle wrong/right AC, which sucks up more time).

An averaged score breakdown from my last 7 PT's looks like this: RC -5, LR1 -2, LR2 -1, LG -1.

RC seems indeed to be my weakest section. Sometimes it's something that I either forgot or misunderstood in the passages which leads to wrong questions, but the majority of my mistakes are due to weirdly formulated or subtle AC that I typically get right after a very close look during BR. Even during BR, I get 1-2 questions wrong on RC.

It seems to me that it requires some further fine-tuning of my skills in order to get into high 170's. Will this fine-tuning likely come simply through BR (like I've been doing it until now), or would you recommend some other approaches?

Besides competency itself, what else could be factors to improve on? I admit that during the last 2 weeks or so I've slacked a bit off in terms of reading The Economist, but I started reading it regularly again and two days ago I went through my vocab list again. Otherwise I can't really think of other factors...

Hello, I'm wondering if I can drill 1 LR question at a time or one LG at a time. I like to see if I got something correct right away. But from what I can tell you can only drill by adding each question yourself? That just seems like it takes a lot of time. Thank you.

This Tuesday, 9pm CST (aka not PST, not EST), I'm holding a free LR tutoring session on PT 86 Section 1 EVENS. Try to have it done ready with your BR if you plan to attend. This is necessary if you want to benefit from our sessions (imo).

Goals - prove to you why I think the LSAT is a lil cyka blyat, appendix-fetishizing, incestuous uncle fucker.

Plan - a. parse stimuli b. note whether or not the Q yielded a predictable pre-phrase c. discuss pre-phrase formulation, or how that particular question did not yield a pre-phrase and what I did in that situation d. Note the predictable wrong answer choices e. Explain the correct AC and note any predictable patterns. f. Review the main "extrapolations" g. Open up the floor for questions.

Structure - Clock-in 9pm sharp. Say what's up. Mute. Start the 2-3 hour grind. Record the session. Please feel free to mute your cam. I will be uploading this "unlisted" on Youtube and share link. I'm not taking mula so LSAC and YT can gtfo, stfu and smd.

Let's effing do this. The LSAT is not only learnable but also beatable. It's not Nadal on Clay nor is it the USA Water Polo team. See y'alls in a bit.

Hey are there any strategies to choose which RC passages to read first, second, third, fourth? Or do you guys suggest going 1-4 as given? Is it better to do passages with more questions first? Thanks for all your help!

New to 7sage format and not sure if 7sage allows one to print out the Logic Games. I have never had any issues with printing with other companies. Cannot find the printing feature on the problem set section. Am I missing something or does 7sage not allow printing? Thank you!
