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!

I feel like LSAT scores have been going through a tremendous inflation these years and I am really panicking as I have to apply with one that's below 170...any help? :(

Hey all, I'm a 27M and I'm averaging around 153 which is not good enough for my target school. I could use some work in all sections. Seeking a person or group of patient and focused people to work with. My goal is to take the April 2022 LSAT.

I can be flexible with my schedule so just PM me if you are interested, friendly, and patient. Good vibes only.

PT51 LG#2

Regarding rule #2,

/K and /L → J

I think the contrapositive of this should be,

= J-K and J-L

Why JY skipped 1) and 2)?

Did I miss something?

Hi everyone,

Typically, I average between -4 and -2 in untimed LG sections. I have recently introduced timing into preparing for the LSAT and my score is usually between -8 and -6.

I've noticed that the reason why I get certain questions wrong is because I don't spend enough time upfront making inferences or splitting game boards. So, I end up spending most of my time using brute force to answer the questions.

I wanna get better at making inferences and seeing easily how games can be split up during the timed sections. Does any one have any input on what I should do going forward? I have heard of the foolproof method but have not tried it yet. I'm also open to any other suggestions!

Thank you!

I have been using older PTs to create "experimental" sections to add to the three section flex PTs and was wondering if they ever give a test that has the same section repeated back to back (eg. S3 RC experimental and S4 RC). I have unintentionally done this and it seems to really affect my score on the second repeated section. Should I keep preparing for this possibility or do they make sure that tests do not have this?

Hi all, this may be silly but is it too late to submit law school apps? Things came up and I was unable to submit apps by late Nov/early Dec. As originally planned. I'm aiming to have everything in by Jan 1...is that too late in this competitive cycle?

I initially picked E, but with BR I picked B and I know clearly why its the right answer, but why is E wrong?

Hi guys,

my monthly subscription ends tomorrow and I wasn't able to find videos for PT 91 and 92. I was wondering whether these will be posted before the January exam, etc., and if so, exactly when, does anyone know? I do enjoy the videos a lot, but I may have to check my expenses at the moment.

Help? Thx.

hi! i've been scoring consistently in the low-mid 170s for the last 2 months. i'm trying to build my mastery even more, and I've found that tutoring other people helps with this. if you would like some tutoring to work through tough LR q's and tough RC passages, or LG, i'd be more than happy to do so for free :) i have time these next few weeks to do so, so HMU!

It used to be that when I clocked on the syllabus, I could see which lessons I had completed/starred. For some reason this isn't showing up anymore. Does anyone know why this might be?

Where do I find evidence to support the correct answer choice (E)?

Are explanations available for 91 and 92 (particularly RC)? When I try to navigate to the explanations through the "Explanation Videos", I get "404 not found"

Answer B vs A....why?

One of the main goals in reading comprehension is to accurately and descriptively identify the tone of the author of the passage. I did find a list of words on an academic website that are used to convey the tone of the author. However, it would be more beneficial if we try on our own to think and come up with a list. Also, for each word, try to give a quick explanation/meaning of the word!

I will start us out with a few.

The authors tone could be:

Curious - fascinated with the subject of the passage and wants to explore the topic further.

Approving - reinforces the topics presented in the passage and is willing to promote it.

Indifferent - Is neutral with the information discussed in the passage, neither positive or negative.

I noticed that the comparative passages started at PT 52 and go only up to PT 88. Have they changed the later/most recent RC sections to not have a comparative passage? Will there be a comparative passage on future tests?
