I am a little over a month into my studying and am 22% into the CC. I have been studying with 7sage and the trainer.

Diagnostic:150

1st pt: 154

2nd pt:152 BR:160

3rd pt: 150 BR:157

I am feeling very discouraged that my pts have plateaued. I am wondering whether I should consult a tutor or whether to wait to consult one until after I have completed the CC.

Is this kind of plateau normal with only 22% of the CC completed and does anyone have any advice regarding next steps?

Thanks for your help!

I have to do a lot of catching up lol, I'm thinking the best way to study would be if other people study WITH me. Live Discord/Zoom sessions could be pretty awesome! If you're interested, here's the server: https://discord.gg/tK2P6sRd

Study Group for Aug 2022 LSAT

Hey everyone! We’re looking for some new additions to our fun & fruitful online LSAT study group! (Since Jan 2022).

Currently we meet twice a week on Monday & Wednesday in the morning (around 11:00-11:30 AM PST, 2 hours / session). We’re pretty flexible with our time – so don’t be shy :)

How We Study!

Please Join Us If You…

Those who are interested in joining, please send me a message on 7Sage. Thank you!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Is the LSAT administered in-person and on paper, or is it at home and electronic? Or is it in-person, but electronic? I am studying for it now, but don’t plan on taking it for another 6 months and I want to make sure I’m taking the PTs similar to how it will be administered on the day of exam. I know COVID changed some things.

Hi everyone! I just did PT 43's RC section and I got -3, but it took me 49 minutes. RC is not my strong suit and I am curious to know any tips you may have in how to review and revise my reading pattern so I can see improvement in my time! If anyone has any tips from personal experience, that would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hey everybody,

So I am planning to take the LSAT in June of 2023, and I read somewhere today that logic games will not be included in the LSAT after this year. So, should I still invest time into learning the logic games section, or should I skip over it and devote myself to strictly RC/LR, instead? I can't find an answer anywhere online, so I was hoping someone could give some advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone - I have a 7 Sage Membership + the Powerscore Books. I'm curious to know how you all balance the information from the different resources you are getting, especially when the books/tutoring services/online agencies have conflicting strategies or methods for taking the test. How do you study both at the same time? I'm struggling with this and am seeking advice.

To those who weren't good at RC in the beginning and got significantly better through practice,

I would appreciate if you could give me some advice!

Taking the Jan 2023 LSAT, and in the process of registering for the exam. Has anyone gotten accommodations with getting a paper copy of the exam? If so, how do you go about getting such accommodation? Thanks!

With new (-ish) test day rules for the LSAT:

Items Allowed in Your Testing Space

Generally, your desktop must be clear of anything not test-related and should only have:

Five blank sheets of scratch paper (lined, unlined, or graphed)

One or more writing utensils (standard pencil, mechanical pencil, or ink pen, for example)

A highlighter

An eraser (no mechanical erasers or erasers with sleeves)

Couldn't we theoretically make a Logic Game Board in pen and write any question modifiers in pencil? You could then just erase the pencil, leaving an un-tainted master board while saving time with re-drawing and avoiding copying errors?

Any thoughts on the effectiveness or allowance of this method?

I'm having so much difficulty with these types of problems (which argument is most similar to the structure of the paragraph), does anyone have any advice for these?

Hey everyone, I basically have finished the CC and am just left with PTs for the remainder of my study schedule aiming for the September LSAT. I wanted to see what would be a good consistent study routine beyond doing 1-2 PTs a week with blind review, in terms of drilling and so forth. What is recommended for the days I am not PTing- make problem sets, do problems of each type?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Does my AA transcript at my first school need to be sent to CAS? Or just the final BA granting institution/transcript

(edit) From further research I believe the answer is yes

I've taken a few practice tests in the 70s, a few 80s, and some 60s. I don't have that much time left till september and obviously there are way more practice tests than I can do in time for the test (I'm studying while working full-time). Anyone know how I can figure out which PTs I should make sure I take before the test? I'm saving all the 90s for the month of August. Thank you!

Hi,

I am looking for a study buddy who is aiming for a 170+. My first prep score is 168. I would like to meet over Zoom once a week, on weekends, to "discuss" difficult problems. The true aim for this study would be not going over all of the PT Qs in a swift, but really ponder the difficult/hard questions, and discuss about them in depth. I truly believe that it is not about the quantity but the quality of the reviews on the questions - "in depth analysis" on 2~3 questions per session would be way better than merely "going over" 20 questions.

Anyone who agrees on my approach, please feel free to reach out to me, and we will discuss the details! Thanks!

Not a problem, just a question. There seems to be a certain keyboard shortcut when using the drilling interface. Shift + WIN key brings up a little shield that covers the question and answer choices from view. What is the purpose of this?

Hello,

I am taking the test in August, and I am trying to get my scoring to be more consistent. My goal is a 172. Here are the results from my last 4 tests:

PT 63:

LR -1

LG -3

RC -3

PT 64:

LR -1

LG -0

RC -2

PT 65:

LR -4

LG -1

RC -4

PT 66

LR -1

LG -2

RC -4

My current plan is to take two full PTs a week and take one day a week to take a PT section by section spaced out. Does that seem like enough? Any tips for consistency? I feel like I can never do well in every section.

I’m looking for a study buddy to hold each other accountable! I’m planning to study 30+ hours a week mainly evenings (7-10ish) for Sundays to Wednesdays and all day Thursdays to Saturdays. My first diagnostic was a 161 and aiming for a 172-175 eventually.

Im looking for someone who can just work in silent with over discord calls, but also maybe chat and be friendly with when we want to take a break. (The presence helps a lot).

Add me on discord if interested! xtt#8183

I asked before with some help with LGs and now have perfected those! Now I am onto conquering RCs, and LRs. LR is where I think I can make some decent improvement.

Overall on my PTs I can get 163-166.

RC ranges from -4 to -7. That I am seeing a little improvement here and there.

LR can range from -4 to -7 as well.

LR I feel like I've been on a struggle bus. I work full time, so I do one PT a week, BR, and then try to review it. I also have tried to add some drilling of LRs I feel weak in. (Particularly NAs, PSAs, sometimes MSS).

One thing I have noticed is sometimes I make mistakes from reading a question stem, ac, or stimulus, and miss a VITAL Word! so sometimes I make dumb mistakes here and there....ugh

I am finding with my wrong journal-ling/BR, I know the question stems pretty well and what to do. I often just fall for traps answers as well. In particular the last 5 questions of the section usually beat me up.

I kinda also feel like drilling has made me worse?

Anyways, any advice or tips would be helpful! Is it dumb to drop LR drilling, and just review my wrong journal?

Any tips of how to review wrong journal better?

So, I'm having a bit of trouble with MBT MSS questions.

I take way too much time just comprehending the passages.

Does anyone have any tips on this?

I've been scoring in the mid 170s (174-177) for a while now and I don't really know how to make more progress. I've gotten -3 to -5, but it seems pretty random which section I do best at. I've gotten perfect scores on every section across different PTs, and at this point it seems kind of random which one I do best at and which one I am worst in. Any advice on how to make my performance as consistent as possible?

Averages:

LR: -.7

LG: -2.4

RC: -1.7

Hi all! I'm just now beginning my LSAT prep and hoping to take it sometime in the Spring next year. I wanted to make a study group that meets WEEKLY (Please don't join this group if you aren't willing to seriously meet!) to keep each other on track, ask questions, etc. I would love for this group to be encouraging and consistent as we approach the LSAT!

We have around 3-6 people per study session with folks score ranging from mid-150 to early 170. We meet, solve one LR and one LG sections and discuss why we have chosen an answer we chose. We are meeting in below dates:

9:00 pm-11:00 pm, Thursday, July 7 at Gangnam station Exit 9, Wing Study Cafe

2:00 pm-6:00 pm, Sunday, July 10 at Gangnam station Exit 9, Wing Study Cafe

Please send me a direct message with a brief introduction if you want to join. I will give you more information on a private messaging system.

Join if you're interested! We'll be having weekly practice tests and blind review sessions. Practice test review session date/time TBD.

JY often "plays" with the rules in a LG before he does the questions. Do you all recommend doing this even on timed tests? If so, do you do so in your mind's eye, or actually on paper?

I usually play with the rules in difficult games when I'm doing BR, but not on the timed tests. I'm thinking about whether I should change this practice.
