Hi all,

I've seen some chatter online about inflated scores this cycle due to the FLEX. Do you think this is true? It does seem like many schools are rejecting/wait listing people who are at or well above the usual median score. If this is the case, what should someone who was originally shooting for a 165-167 try for instead?

How can I take LG in PTs without influencing other sessions, I want to take complete LG questions like the normal exam, but I don't know how to take only the session I want in the PTs, the results and timing without affecting other sessions

As I score higher on my prep tests, my BR score goes down!!

In the beginning I was scoring in the 159-163s but my BR was at a 175 and up. Now I'm scoring in the 164-166s but my BR is a 167-171!! It's so weird! Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm wondering if I'm just really doubting myself so I change my answers? But I have also been getting more questions than usual wrong in both the real test and BR. I used to only get 2 completely wrong, and now its 4-6. Help!! I just don't know what's going on or what to do lol.

What's unusual is I'm missing lower than ever in LR and RC, ~ -3 in both areas. This is where I'm having my problem. I'm missing lower than ever, BUT I still miss the questions in BR, and then I change the answer of questions I got right to the wrong one during BR.

I hope this makes sense. If anyone can relate or help....pls

I just cant figure logic games out under times conditions. I keep getting 7-10 wrong every test, and if i can just master them i will have the score i need.

Does anyone have any tips they could help me with?

How can I retake a preptest that I've already taken?

In the "take preptest" section I can see the results from my first take, but don't see any way to retake..?

I've noticed the importance that is placed on foolproofing on 7sage but one thing that i keep getting stuck on is the amount of games that the core curriculum gives and how long it would take to properly foolproof them.

What is the best way to efficiently foolproof without having to forfeit the time necessary for the other two sections? Should I just foolproof the games from my practice tests? Pick them out randomly from cc?

any advice would be appreciated!

Is there a difference in the number/type of analytics you get with a free account versus a paid subscription? I only have a free account but would like to know what other analytics I'd get if I purchased a subscription.

Regarding one of the core lessons, not all/ some not.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/advanced-negate-all-statements/?ss_completed_lesson=1055

I am still confused.

Why does some not cover 0-99? Why from 0?

Isn't it supposed to be 1-99?

From the example sentence,

Some cats are not pretentious.

It seems odd if it means, "0 cats are not pretentious"

Could you help me understand this?

Thanks.

For games, I have just recently started to reach the harder games in the curriculum and have only practiced maybe less than 10 games. But I noticed that for some of the harder games, I have no clue how to setup the diagram. Is this ability to recognize how to diagram a game come after going through a good number of games and explanations or am I missing something? ​I feel like I am wasting games by watching the explanations.

Thank you in advance!

Im scoring in the 148s really want to push to 155. Want someone, or group to study with daily till April's test.

is it just me or are you guys also unable to click on the preptests?

was just about to take one so i'm a bit triggrd but :/ hope it gets figured out soon

I am registered for April, but right now I am having second thoughts about sitting for it since I am not scoring where I want to.

Will schools see if I withdraw from the test? Also I tried to move it to June, but my coupon expires in April so it won’t let me move it to June. I’ll just register again and pay the regular amount, which is fine.

Also will schools see how often you’ve moved your test date around?

Hey everyone,

There have been some really helpful posts on here and I'm looking for some advice on my personal situation. Longer post, so I appreciate anyone who has input!

I've been waitlisted from a bunch of T14 schools this cycle after applying with a very high 160s score from more than a year ago. I sort of winged it studying on my own for that first take and I know I can score higher. In that round of studying, I used most of the PTs in the 50s as well as some scattered tests in the 60s, 70s, and PT 87 because I didn't really understand the whole idea that recent tests are more important.

I figured the best way to improve my application while on the waitlist, or help with reapplying next cycle, was to retake, so I started studying again in February aiming for a retake in either April or June. I'm registered for April, but it's coming up on the date change deadline and I need to make a decision.

Right now, my average over my last 10 Preptests (five tests across the 50s, 60s, and 70s and 80-84) is just above 173. I still have 85, 86, 88, 89, May 2020 clean. RC had been my weakest section last time around, but practicing the memory method with lots of drilling I'm consistently down to 1-3 incorrect per section. For LR I'm at a solid 0-1 incorrect. The problem is that all of a sudden, on some of the most recent tests, I'm missing a full logic game and that's taking a big bite out of my practice test scores as well as that 10 test average - i.e. a 166 on #81 and a 169 on #83 where I completely balked on one game each. I sort of panicked in both of those cases when I was obviously missing an inference, but was able to fix everything on Blind Review relatively quickly. Still, those tests are so recent that I'm worried I could screw up a LG section on the actual test and mess up my overall score if I retake in April.

I'm taking this week to go back over Grouping Games (these seem to be part of the problem) and drilling harder problem sets along with as many Miscellaneous Games as I can find. I've also foolproofed all of the games sections I've taken since February. I'm thinking about taking PT 85 and 86 before the 27th (date change deadline) to make a final decision on April.

Alternatively, I could switch to June and really spend a lot of time on LG in April and May, finish all of PTs 60-80, and then come back to those last five recent tests. I am worried a June score won't be as helpful with the waitlist this cycle, but it will still be useful if I end up reapplying. Of course, I also want to avoid getting a lower or comparable score on the April test.

Any thoughts on April vs. June and what to prioritize for either one?

Cant expand or open anything

Is anyone else having issues opening up the explanation videos?

Hello!

I'm taking the April LSAT and am curious how I should treat the week before the test? Are there any recommended approaches?

Thanks!

Stuck in the 140's, I've been studying non-stop and I feel like my efforts are in vain since I'm not making any progress. Mostly struggling in RC and LG, don't know how to continue or what step to take for a better score.

This is very specific, but I've noticed a pattern in my LR performance where I tend to get questions that involve the following two topics/construction wrong, or at least I find them more challenging:

(1) Questions that have to do with studies, usually in the social sciences and sometimes the biological sciences. For example, an experiment having to do with the learning patterns of babies in different settings, or some study having to do with some substance and its effect on cholesterol. This usually comes in the form of Weaken/Strengthen questions.

(2) Questions that describe the behaviour of some kind of animal, like some bird and its habitat or some predator vs. its prey. This usually comes in the form of Resolve the Paradox/Reconcile & Explain questions.

I don't remember specific questions, but I'm sure those of us who have done enough LR have all seen questions like these.

Does anyone have very specific topical weaknesses like these? I'm not quite sure how to get better at LR questions with these topics. I don't think it's an issue of the question type, but the topic.

Does anyone know any good outside material for a layman to get better at these topics? For example, I know J.Y. talks a lot about control groups/how to run an experiment but I seem to have knowledge missing in this area. I'm not necessarily looking for specific materials, which would be good too, but I'd really like some advice as to what to look up/Google to study some background knowledge for these topics.

Thanks!

Looking for Study Buddy. I am taking the August LSAT and currently study 5 days a week for 8 hours a day. I am currently averaging 154 but my goal is 165. Let me know if any of you are interested.

Can someone please share their study schedule for the June exam as a test retaker?? (Especially if you are working full time.)

Hey, my name is Joy. I am currently studying full time and would like to create a group (5max) for people like me. I'd like to have weekly meetings as well as co-working sessions (via zoom/ft or google meets). My diagnostic is 156 & my goal is 165+. RC is my worst section, LG is my best.

Timezone: EST.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment or inbox me. Thanks!

Hello! Any 7sage users currently located in Europe (/other similar time zones) and studying for the June '21 test want to create a study group?

Hi all,

For the April 2021 LSAT, when should we expect an email to sign up for either April 10 or April 11 test date?

Not sure what happened, but I cannot see any of the explanation videos when I click on the PT.....

Can anyone please assist. I probably pressed on something to lock it, but I have no clue... Thanks

Anyone unable to properly access problem set functions?
