While keeping track of my errors in LR I notice I'm more prone to making errors in questions that I would typically get right (PSA, SA, PF, PR) when those questions are at the end of the section.

Notwithstanding the fact that being at the end of the section can sometimes indicate that a question type can be harder, I personally find my issue is that these Q types require a lot of mental power to keep tedious information organized, more than other Q types (maybe because they can sometimes be heavy on conditional logic, not really sure?)

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has tried hunting for specific question types and if they would recommend that strategy to me? I wonder if this would be beneficial to get the 'formulaic' questions (like the parallel reasoning/flaw) out of the way while my brain is in the mood to tackle them properly. I recently got a 3 star PSA question wrong and was kicking myself in BR, I can't figure out why I would have selected the AC that I selected and can only conclude it was because I was fatigued.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Posting this very late b/c I have been busting my butt on the other app materials (personal statement, LOR's, etc.)..... Just want to thank 7sage and the awesome games and LR curriculum. The 7sage LR course was helpful and I got even better by reading LR Loophole after finishing the 7 sage course work (brought me to a -1/-2 consistently on LR). The games curriculum of 7sage was out of this world and brought me to a consistent -0, only thing I did outside of 7sage was do logic puzzles everyday to get my inference muscles really strong. The explanations on this site were extremely helpful through out this process. I would recommend doing all of 7sage's base lessons, using 7sage for LG, using a combo of 7sage LR curriculum as well as the LR Loophole book. As far as RC, it really just takes ALOT of practice and BR'ing to make sure you know why you are eliminating certain answers and confirming pretty much every answer you pick with the text - 25/27 RC questions are directly or indirectly (meaning you have to make an inference from the text) supported by the text. To get my reading speed and comprehension levels up I found the book "Speed Reading With The Right Brain" by David Butler very helpful. If you guys have any questions or need any advice please PM me on here and thank you so much to the &sage team for helping along this wild rollercoaster of a journey!

Hello 7Sagers,

I am facing this issue that when I do questions timed, I have ~70 accuracy in LR, but blind review, it seems so easy I have near perfect or perfect. Time wise; probably double the time to achieve full accuracy. Problem: not understanding the stimulus quick enough. Sometimes I have to re-read it like 4 times before I can make sense of the stimulus. Once I understand then it is relatively simple. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am at about 172-174 Blind review. Thanks!

Hi guys!

I am not a native English speaker. All those twenty years I read English on paper. I am practicing reading English on my computer for the digital LSAT. At first, I thought this won't be that hard, maybe I could find my way quickly. But it's so hard to change my reading habits and make my eyes get used to reading those tiny English letters on the screen. It's completely different if I print those PTs and finish them on paper. I will read more carefully and I can mark the keywords without being distracted. Do you have any tips for me? Thanks again!

Hi!

I was wondering what your approach is when completing the RC section. I tend to start with the passage that has the most questions, but I'm realizing that the last two tend to be harder, so I end up with -7 or -8. Would it make more sense to start with the harder passages first? I would appreciate any feedback/tips! Thanks.

About to take my diagnostic and I'm unsure what to expect. What would you all think is a good or bad score. less than 140 is bad, 140-149 is decent, and 150+ is good? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I recently finished my LSAT and I scored a 168. I was averaging 172 on PTs and am willing to tutor a few students 1 on 1 for free. I was lucky enough to get help on my LSAT journey so I wanted to give back. Please dm me on 7sageprep if you are interested. Also, let me know what you are averaging on your PTs as well as when you plan on taking the LSAT.

I seem to be confused on which questions types to expect Alternative-Reversal-Coincidence answer choices when dealing with a causal argument. Is this exclusive to Strengthen-Weaken questions? Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Greetings everyone, just wanted some pointers on an upcoming application. During my last application cycle, I was waitlisted at my #1 school, I sent a letter of continued interest, and ended up not getting admitted. I applied really really late in the admissions cycle which is the main reason as to why I was not admitted (2 weeks before deadline in May). Now for this upcoming cycle I'd like to apply in the next few weeks, I have everything in order (revised PS, resume, letters, etc) but I will be taking the January LSAT in hopes of scoring higher. My current LSAT score is about the 25th percentile at the school. I'd like to apply as soon as possible and just let them know I have a pending LSAT in a few weeks. What should I do? #help

Hi, is anyone willing to do a free tutoring session? I have been studying for months and I feel as If my score isn't moving. My exam is in Jan. Thank you guys.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday! I am currently filling out an "Activities & Interests" question in one of the built-in text boxes in a law school application form on the LSAC site. I am separating each of my activities with a line break, but when I view the PDF preview of my application before hitting submit, it is apparent that the line breaks aren't processing and instead all of my activities show up as a single blob. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this and force the software the recognize the line break? Does anyone have any insight into whether the PDF preview is an exact replica of what admissions readers will see? Thanks so much for any help!

We've updated our big law school info doc with the latest stats for every school, a year-over-year comparison of those stats, and more. Here's a video that walks you through it:

I've seen a few discouraged posts on the forum lately..I also had a giant pity party the last three days after taking an LR section and performing so much worse than I should have. I haven't wanted to touch LR since.. heck, I haven't even been interested in celebrating the holidays. Anyways, I was wallowing and wasting time on social media when I saw a post that helped get out of my funk. This isn't anything we haven't heard before but I thought it was well written so I hope it helps some of you as well:

You have given so much to this, and I just hope you know that even here, your work is not in vain. It might take a little longer to arrive where you want to be, but you are still free to take this day by day. Even when you are weary of waiting. Even when you are having to watch others reach the same exact heights you were reaching for, you are not a failure. You are not behind. You will still arrive where you need to be in time. Your story is just going to look a little different. But you will rise anyway. You will find a strength you did not know you had. You will find that even when things did not go according to plan, it did not hinder you from traveling the course. And no matter the additional time it took, it was not too late for you.

PS: if a weird sense of humor is more encouraging to some of you, google "Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It's a Sewer Rat". it'll give you a laugh

Hello everyone!

I recently just restarted studying for the LSAT and I am looking to form a study group that meets a few times a week, Monday-Thursday. I am quite open to different studying times, although my preference is for afternoon (2-5pm). Mornings work for me as well.

The purpose of this study group is to hold each other accountable. We would each use the time to study whatever we'd like as opposed to discussing questions and LSAT topics. If you are interested, please let me know!

Thanks,

Matthew

Good Morning,

My name is Shijuan Williams, I graduted SUNY College At Old Westbury Class of 2018 with a Bachelors of Science in Criminology and a minor in African American Studies. Shortly after that I became a paralegal in 2019, to which made me feel as if I did not want to be a lawyer, because I disliked it so much. I soon left that job to go into Higher Education, where I loved it but still felt incomplete. In December 2019, I started to chase my goal I had since I was 13 of being a lawyer, and registered for the first LSAT FLEX in February 2020. I started to apply to law schools, at the time I could only afford to apply to 3, and gave it the best I could. After receiving my scores, I quickly found out that I would need more work and preparation before trying again. I got into my head and ran away from the idea of being a lawyer and being in law school. attempting to pick myself up, I got into a Masters program, and am now graduating this summer with a Masters of Arts in Organizational leadership. I have decided once again to chase my goal and my craving of becoming a lawyer, but this time taking my time and going at a pace where I can feel prepared. I plan to take the June

2022 LSAT as well, and am looking for a group. Please let me know if you or anyone you know is open to working together.

Hello! I am having trouble with main point questions. These questions to me have the hardest ACs to distinguish from each other. I am doing well in my studies, with a typical low 170s score and usualy -4/-5 but can be up to -7 on RC. I find that I always get a main point question wrong. Even if I feel i have a solid understanding of the passage and get no other questions wrong for that passage.

Any tips? What processes or tricks do you guys use for main point questions?

We have a new post on our 7Sage LSAT Newsletter! In this edition, 7Sage Tutor Claire Sullivan discusses how to know if you are ready to take the test. You can read it here:

Looking to take the test in August; I have taken before without really studying at all, but need a tutor to keep me accountable and on track for Aug 2022. I work full time; so I need to spread out my studying a bit more to cover everything. Weaknesses are RC (90% of my problem) and LR (17-24ish questions, 10% of my problem). Let me know your rate and when available! I can be flexible with hours and do my lunch break etc. since I work from home.

Hey all. I am currently PTing between 169-171. Over half my wrong answers come from RC, which I have admittedly done very, very little practice with. I usually go -5 to -7. Has anyone found success with the memory method?

My tactic has always been to read the passage deeply for 3-4 minutes, highlighting and notating the crap out of it, and doing the questions quickly. I am unwilling to change this tactic at the moment because I am taking my first LSAT in January.

Is there any way to sort analytics based on type of passages for reading comp? I want to see the overall trends in comparative passages I've done in PTs to see which questions I've most commonly missed so I can focus on those. #help

Before I started any courses, I took a diagnostic and got a 154. I got powerscore, studied for two weeks, and got a 166. I was thrilled! If I went up 12 points in two weeks, surely I’d be scoring mid-170s and have my pick of schools - next stop Yale!

Months later reality has set in. I’ve finished powerscore, moved on to 7sage, but keep scoring low to mid 160s on PTs. Has anyone dealt with something like this? And if so, how did you break through to the next level?

Thank you so much.

I am so consistent at being inconsistent. I have had LR sections with -3 and -1 and then I’ll follow that up with -5 and -6. It’s so frustrating because I know I can do this. I want to take this test in January but don’t know if I’ll be ready by then. February is an easy date to shoot for but I want this over with. This test is so damn hard and stressful. I hate it. Ughhhh

Hi all,

Long story short, I was very fortunate to get great free help on my law school apps through a combination of friends and the advising center at my undergrad institution that lead to an offer at a T6. I believe people shouldn't have to pay thousands of dollars for someone to review their essays so I'd like to pay it forward to some folks.

While I'm probably not as qualified as the folks at the other end of those huge price tags, I have been writing professionally for about 4 years and think I'm pretty good at it.

Anyway, if you want help, please DM me with the following info:

What you want me to edit (I am willing review up to 2 documents/4 pages total per person):

Where are you sending it:

When you need it by:

To make sure I can manage this, I'll only be taking up to 5 folks at first. So long as you get me your material by the 24th, I can get it back to you by the 27th.

Happy holidays!

Hi, all I have decided to use Loophole for LR and 7sage for games. I wanted to ask since I will not be doing the LR CC for 7 sage which videos I should watch from the CC to prepare me for the logic needed in the LG section that's it thanks!
