Hello guys! I am taking the LSAT for the first time in August. I started studying March 18 and according to the 7sage study schedule I should be putting in 40-50 hours a week. However I work full time and I am finding it rather difficult to get through the assigned coursework weekly. I am also going through the course in order and I feel like I am not covering all the sections RC LR AR enough. The first few weeks are mostly LR. Im scared because I feel like I am not going to have enough time to do practice tests at the end. But I cant skip the curriculum either because I have no background in the LSAT. How do you suggest I go about my studying

When submitting applications, after paying for the law school report & checking out, is it submitted instantaneously or does it take a few days to process? Trying to meet an April 1st deadline for a certain school and wanted to know if I can submit on April 1st or if I have to do it days before, leaving time for processing. Thank you in advance.

I have been scoring -3 to -7 in LR disregard all the efforts I made just to improve my LR. I have read the manhattan prep LR, the trainer, the loophole and finish about 30-40% in 7-sage.... Any suggestions in how to improve LR?

For anyone who has taken a previous LSAT Flex, is it the same setup as the 7Sage practice tests where you can "X" out answer choices to make them muted or is there no option on the test?

I'm switching from working on individual timed games from the problem sets and lessons presented in the Core Curriculum to doing full LG sections from tests 1-35 and wondering if people have some rough timing benchmarks based on game type, number of questions, question types (new premise/suppose + new condition), etc. they use to manage their time across a whole section, to generally know what pacing to keep and when they're probably ahead or behind.

For individual games, I've been using the time stamp provided in the explanation videos for each game, which we obviously won't have on the real test.

It would make sense for this to be in a final wrap-up comprehensive lesson like the wrap-up lesson on board types, but I didn't see anything along these lines in the curriculum. #Help

I have score 162 and 167 on my first two LSATs. I am aiming for a 170 but have never scored over a 166 on PTs. Would it hurt me (for admissions purposes) to take the April LSAT I am signed up for if I am just as likely to score lower as I am to score higher? I assume law schools would see a downward trend as a red flag.

The alternative would be to study another few months and focus on my weakness (LG) then take again in June/August.

However, if a lower score won't hurt me I wouldn't be opposed to taking both the April and a June/August test.

I'm taking LSAT for the first time in April, and how does the signup process works for time slots? Do you have to create a ProctorU account? How difficult is it to get the time slot that you want? Thanks!

@"Lucas Carter" where are you? Tell me everything!

5 down, 9 to go... 2 A's, 3 R's, and a WL. If anyone else was crazy enough to apply late in this wild cycle, there's hope!

Hi so I’ve been practicing for the LSAT going on my third serious try and unfortunately the previous takes were both sat for during the pandemic which in turn is the LSAT-Flex exam. After several Prep-Tests in simulated Flex mode I’ve come to notice a recurring pattern of scoring 144-146 average- despite my better 151 performance on the full length exam. My theory at least to my premonition at best is that with the removed additional Logical Reasoning Section (the section I perform best on), could it be the case that the points accumulated are not being attributed to my overall Flex score? In other words how well of a theory is it that the curved score I am receiving is reflective of my “actual LSAT performance” granted I don’t under perform. Just a question I’d like to discuss because it is really been deteriorating my confidence walking into what will be my FOURTH LSAT take. My first score being in the low 131s (full LSAT without adequate prep), then 139 then 141 (both flexs) , when as described previously my practice score on the full length exam is 151-154 average. Please help-as I’m reaching the end of my rope.

Can someone please explain to me how I should map out the substitution for rules questions in LG? The questions where it asks you how would substituting this rule for another rule have the same effect on the board is something that isn't clicking with me.

Hello everyone! I am in need of some insight into how to do better on the LR section of the exam. It seems to not yet be "clicking" for me on LR, but I have seen some improvement. It's the harder question types that confuse me. I usually choose the trap answers for the harder questions. Does anyone have any advice/tips/resources or a general approach for the LR section. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you all!

Hi everyone!

I have a question about the format of the LSAT Flex. Does the test look like the "7Sage" theme, the "Standard" theme, or something else? The themes that I am referring to are the ones 7Sage allows us to choose from when we are drilling questions under problem sets. I want to ensure that I am studying in the format I will see on test day.

Thanks!

Can someone clarify what the hell "S" is saying in the first sentence of the stimulus? I understand the rest of the reasoning, but I can't break this sentence down in a way that is meaningful. What is meant by "threatened?" If the trend may not be real, why would it be premature to halt it? I'm trying to understand the perspective from which "S" begins the argument.

Thanks in advance!

Is there any way to alter the way that the printable problem sets display? At present, there are two questions per page. I would prefer more per page to reduce the amount of paper, though I am already printing double-sided.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
