I plan on taking the LSAT for my second time in August, and am about 1/4 through the core curriculum, and am wondering when I should start drilling on practice tests.

Should I take practice tests, then go through core curriculum on problem types that I did bad on, or should I finish the core curriculum, then re-watch any question types that I got wrong and try to fix my mindset? And then repeat that process to make sure I'm really learning the material?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I also posted on the reading lesson part, but I am doing it again here in the discussion section.

I would like to know if anyone could be given advice.

I started to study for the LSAT a few months ago, and I am struggling with the reading comprehension part.

As a non-native English speaker, this is by far the most challenging section for me. And I am a non-traditional applicant who finished my undergrad more than ten years ago, so, unfortunately, I've not read too much complicated thing in English until recently. I want to know if it is good to skip one passage and focus on three passages due to my reading speed. Also, to improve my overall score, should I focus on logical reasoning and games parts? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. My target score is 160-162.

Is there a way to modify the "Date Taken" for PrepTest that you manually input your score for? I had some pen & paper preptests that I took prior to signing up for 7sage and I would like to be able to include them in my analytics without it making my most recent score go down. Otherwise, it just sets the date taken as the date you input the answers on 7sage. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

Anybody wants to shed some light on the LAWGIC aspect of this question?

Apparently, according to PowerScore explanation, the stimulus is a bi-conditional relationship because of the phrase "if it satisfies two requirements".

Therefore, the bi-conditional relationship is as follows:

Accurately Describes using a few elements AND Make Definite Predictions (---) Good theory.

Would the contrapositive of above become:

/Good theory (---) /Accurately Describes using a few elements OR /Make Definite Predictions?

Hello everyone,

I've been studying on and off since the summer of last year, in January I picked things up a bit and have seen a slight improvement in being able to pick up on wrongs and patterns more. I am however overwhelmed because I am not seeing the progress that I would like. I plan to take the test in November, can someone PLEASE help me come up with a study schedule? I work from home and have 5 to 6 hours a day to study but I don't know where to start, right now I am kind of jumping around and that's probably why I am not progressing as I would like. Should I do core lessons for one hour? Work out problems for another? I mean, I don't know I am clueless. I need a 165 , currently at 149-156 range and have 6 more months to get there. Also, what is the best study guide for the logic games, I really need help with that, if I can nail that, I think I can get to where I need to be.

I will greatly appreciate any feedback whatsoever. Thanks.

Hi everyone!

I'm currently scoring in the mid 160s. I've spent a lot of time studying for the exam and will continue to do so. I think teaching others will help me continue to improve and hopefully help you as well if you are currently scoring ~155 or below.

If I cannot answer a question or you're struggling with a weaker area of mine, I will tell you immediately.. as I don't want to guide anyone in the wrong direction. However, I will happily answer all of the questions that I feel comfortable answering and walk through problems with you. I've also used a whole range of prep materials so I can give you some insight with regards to that as well.

If you are interested, message me and we can try to work out a time (I'm in EST)!

Thank you :)

With us all dedicated to the LSAT and my life seemly is all LSAT for the past year.

I'd like to hear about some of the hobbies/ things you enjoy doing, are doing/will be doing once everything opens back up?

I liked to go trap shooting with my father before Covid hit. Or going snowmobiling out West in the mountains, even though I broke my leg a few years back that required 8 pins in my leg... I also like to go fishing in the gulf and or just getting out on the water and soaking up the sun. I feel like I haven't had any vitamin D since March 2020, because the LSAT and Covid. I feel like I could just grab a bottle of Sunny D and it absorbs through my skin😂😂

Hello,

I’m looking to take the LSAT in August and start law school in fall of 2022. The law school that I’m shooting for has a median LSAT score of 155. I’ve gotten through only 52 hours of the curriculum thus far. I’ve taken 2 practice test’s and scored a 147 and a 149. Also, my GPA is lower due to some poor decisions when I first entered college. So, I would love to at least make in the 160-165 ball park to hopefully make up for not having a stellar GPA. I

I work a full-time job and am attending school part-time while studying for the LSAT. Any suggestions on what my next few months of studying should look like?

Thank you!

I take the June LSAT-Flex and have been studying but not seeing a ton of improvements. I am aiming for at least a 156 on my first LSAT. Im kind of confused on whether or not there is a curve still in place for the flex exam. For example, I scored a 148 on the November 2019 preptest doing the flex format. I scored -37 which would have given me a score of 155 on the score conversion chart that 7sage provides if it was the traditional four section format. Is there a curve for the flex exams in place or would I have scored a 148 if it would have been a flex originally.

Hello Everyone,

I wanted some insight, feedback or ideas that have helped you or someone you may know improve in their LSAT journey. I began studying for the LSAT during undergrad. Scored a 137 on July 2020 LSAT Flex while working two jobs with minimal understanding of LG (worst section). Currently, prepping for the June 2021 LSAT Flex since it's the last test I am able to use my LSAC fee waiver on since it expires in July.

With that being said, I am looking to accomplish a 150+ score. Not a strong test taker at all. My top school is Georgia State and their median is 157, I've seen people getting in with 153+. I have a 3.79 LSAC GPA and a couple softs that will aid admission decision. Currently on PTs scoring 140-144. Average about 8-9 correct on LR/LG.

What areas should be focused on for improvements? Best way to improve in RC? What are ways of improving that worked for you? Just any helpful ideas on improving LSAT will be heavily appreciated.

What do you guys feel about taking an extended break?

I student 6 days a week (3, 2-hours sessions). Sometimes I'll do games for fun if I'm not tired or dabble with some weird LR question, or an untimed 90's ruthless passage- which can be a total of 7 hours per day. I've heard people who've had positive experiences taking about a week off. In my experience, the 6 days a week with sundays off works. Granted, I'm not as motivated as I am on friday & saturday as I'll be on a monday but I get through it. While I'm not burned out, I'm considering trying the extended off days to see if it'll impact my work. While there is some improvement, it no way reflects the work I'm putting in. I've become numb to the experience and treat it as a job. I don't excited to study but I don't put it off because I don't want to. I just stick to schedule.

What do you guys think about taking a week off? Have you tried it? How did it impact you?

Hello!

I am a 170+ test scorer. Gave the April test and hoping for the same result. However, my end goal is to get a 175+ for which I would be attempting the June test too. Now at this stage where I feel I have kinda understood the test, I believe my knowledge and experience could benefit others through tutoring sessions and help me stay focussed too.

I am organising a boot camp for the June test for which I am finding 5 serious individuals who could devote 1-2 hours, five days a week. Sessions would be held in a group and through discord. Interested peeps could send me a private message.

I constantly find myself checking my remaining time especially during RC and LC. I know this puts me at a disadvantage because i get so stressed about making sure that i have enough time to answer the remaining questions that i don't put my full effort into answering the questions right in front of me. All- in- all i feel distracted because of my constant need to watch the remaining time clock. Does anyone have any advice/tips that have helped them?

Ex. PT 35 S3 G2 Q8 : Rule for the question is If L then P. Causing 2 options to be chosen when L is chosen.

The element T however based on the rules in the beginning causes T to have only 1 (P,L,S).

I haven't done that many logic games yet, but I thought when a question changes the rule and the possibility of T having P is possible (P,L,S is part of the board for the elements to have), wouldn't it be overriding the rule that T has to have only 1 (Rule fewer than Z, if your looking at the game and actual rule).

I know for questions that have local rules the rules for that only pertain to that question and is disregarded for the rest of the questions.

Sorry in advance if I couldn't explain what I was trying to say correctly.

Hi, I'm averaging mid 160s and am aiming to break into the 170s for the June exam. I'm strongest in LG (mainly -2 to -0) and weakest in LR. I'm looking for one or two BR partners who are averaging in the 160s with the same goal of breaking 170! I'm mostly available Monday/Wednesday evenings/nights and Thursday afternoons (EDT time zone). I can make other times work too on weekends. We would plan to meet every week to review a different PT and go through it together. Feel free to DM me or comment below if you are interested!

I feel as though I have been doing LG forever now. I am finally getting the game types one by one but it should not be taking me this long. Does anyone have any methods for each game type that they would be willing to share?

Hey guys,

I'm looking to find one study partner that is PT'ing 160+ grinding to hit 170. Ideally we would take the same PT's and timed sections together and then hop on a zoom call after and discuss the one's we got wrong to strengthen our thought processes towards the question and help reframe our erroneous thoughts. Also, I think it adds some accountability towards improving.

I'm a 24 yr. old American male living in China. I normally start studying at 7pm EST but also study from 8 am - 12pm EST if that's more convenient for you. I study 5 days a week MTWTF in china (so SMTWT in America).

If you're interested then PM me, but also consider commenting below so others can reach out to people looking for a study partner, because i'm only looking for one.
