Hi guys!

So on every PT my analytics show the red bubble glaring at me containing Flaw. I've been practicing for the last month strictly doing problem sets on flaw questions, and I have the PowerScore bible that I re-read from but I still get them wrong!!!! I'm frustrated because I get a decent chunk of them right, but then I will be easily fooled on other questions. It's my highest bubble and the one that will not budge. I know if I get them under control I can comfortably get my goal score. Taking in June and have a lot of hope I can still improve. PLEASE any advice to quickly master? I think my knowledge is there, and I'm aware of the patterns but still mess up. Ugh, the test stress is hitting me, but I need to just keep my eye on the prize- LSAT is such a mental test. Anyways, if anyone has major tips/suggestions specifically about flaw questions please bequeath me with your wisdom. Thanks in advance.

I'm preparing to take the August exam and I want to stimulate the experimental section- what's the best way to do that? If I don't click 'stimulate flex' will that count my score with two LR sections?

I'm considering quitting my job to focus solely on studying for the August exam and then start applying to new jobs right after. I'm studying 1.5 - 2 hours during the work day but I feel like I still have so much potential left and not much time (been studying since March 2020). The new project I've been assigned is mentally draining and I'm very lucky to have been able to save money over the past few years to be able to afford not working for a few months but I'm worried the stress might make it a counterproductive decision. Has anyone decided to temporarily quit and focus on the exam? If so, did you regret it or was it worth it?

I recently posted on here about help and I was told to check my trends. 7sage is very helpful in showing trends based on PT's and what we need to work on...

For LR I need to focus on Flaw, Strengthen, and RRE. Desperately!! I have no idea how to attack these questions, I have not improved. I know if I get a handful more questions right on LR I will be at my goal score.

For RC I need to focus on inference and analogy.

Please any tips or strategies for any of these would be so appreciated :)

My Mac Mini M1 with 8gb of RAM failed the ProctorU equipment test 2/3 times because my RAM usage exceeded 95% capacity even though I had no other applications open. This seems like an issue with ProctorU's software, as the M1 chip should be powerful enough to handle the test. Does anyone know how to fix this? I recommend you test your equipment if you also plan to use a M1 Mac!

Why is B not the correct answer? How can D be justified?

Not sure how to tag admin and sorry if this is a bit nit-picky but I just noticed that the comparative art passage on PT88 is only labeled as an art passage, not comparative, so it doesn't come up if you sort RC passages for comparatives when making problem sets.

For people with time and a half, does "duration of test" say 163 minutes? / people without accommodations, what time duration do you see for yours? Just trying to confirm that ProctorU has my accommodations. For some reason it says I don't have any accommodations under my test rules, but the 163 minutes is time and a half +5.5 minutes..? Just confirming the 163 minutes isn't including check-in and everything?

Hi,

I was wondering if any of y'all have any tips on how to practice for the four section August LSAT?

I know that the experimental section could be any of LR, RC, or LG, but the regular tests on 7Sage only have 2 LR sections. I want to get as much practice in with the additional fourth section and mix in RC, LR, and LG to see if/how my score fluctuates depending on the additional section.

Would appreciate any tips on what's working for y'all :)

If you're registered for the June LSAT FLEX, log in to ProctorU to schedule your day/timeslot now!

As of this post, dates/times appeared to be available from Saturday, June 12 ~ Tuesday, June 15.

Best wishes, everyone! :)

UPDATE:

If this is your 1st time taking the Flex, you might need to work around the system to schedule early:

I forgot that this is what I did several months before, and it worked for me then! :)

Not sure if this is applicable for international registrants, but can't hurt to try. I'm sure there will be plenty of slots available tmr, regardless!

Aiming for mid 150 and I suck at LR. I guess questions 20-25 and place hold all the NA and SA questions between 1-19 and do those at the end. This way I can focus on the questions that I am good at between 1-19. I am trying to allow myself to get no more than 10 wrong in LR and usually get -12 or -13

For all of my LR sections, I always get NA and SA questions wrong.

Does anyone have any tricks on how to master NA and SA? Even NA being Q3 being easy I still struggle with I do not understand the framework. Getting these right will allow me to break into -10 or even -9

Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to attack an LR section differently? I tried the loophole but do not see the powerful/provable method being of much help to me personally

Any help is appreciated

Hey! I'm an R&R from last cycle looking to make a higher score on August than I did last year. My PTs are in the low/mid 160s maxing out into 170s (i have a lot of inconsistency issues). I'm looking for some chill people to hop on discord or zoom with and just go over sections together up until the August exam. I did this last year and found some great people to study with so I'm hoping for a repeat of that! A little bit about myself - I just graduated from undergrad (am 21), and I'm currently essentially studying full time. Because of this my schedule is super open so I'm down to study late nights, early mornings, whatever works. My LG is the only thing I have "mastered" so I expect to mostly try covering RC/LR sections, though I'd be glad to run thru some LG every now and then!

Thinking of postponing the June LSAT to Aug, which will be my second time doing so (I was signed up for April and didn't take it), but I honestly don't know which will be worse. I'm in such a spiral of self-doubt and self-hatred I feel like I need a second opinion.

I wasted the two months leading up to the April LSAT with a tutor who didn't help, and what's worse, wasted many of the newer PTs because I was told to take 2-3 a week before I had even grasped the concepts. I had a mild freakout a week before the test in April and postponed to June, thinking I could take a couple of weeks off and go back to studying with refreshed eyes and brain.

Well, it's two months later, I've slept, ate, and breathed the LSAT, I actually dream about it, and yet my PT scores haven't increased one single point, and I'm beginning to think I'm regressing on sections like LG that I thought I had down pretty well, having panic attacks and making dumb mistakes. My LG score hovers around the same, and my RC score is only better when I give myself unlimited time.

Worse still, whether I take the June LSAT or not, it will be the last Flex. My score definitely suffers when have four sections to deal with instead of three (I know this from taking LawHub tests vs. 7Sage simulated flexes). I could take the June LSAT, think of it as practice, get a bad score, and cancel it as it's my first and I have that option. But then what if I take August LSAT and the jump from 3-4 sections completely ruins me, and either way I don't get the score I want?

I'm 36 years old and I really don't have the benefit of spending years studying for this and applying. I've made so many mistakes in my life I just want to do something right, get a good LSAT score, and move on. But now I'm thinking that, like everything else I've tried, this just isn't in the cards for me and I should give up. Basically, I know there is no way I'll get the score I want on the upcoming June LSAT, but I'm frozen with fear and doubt about what else to do.

Please help!

Hi everyone,

I registered on ProctorU this morning to schedule a testing time, and am having a lot of issues with testing my equipment. I use Google Chrome as my browser, but it will not allow me to enable ProctorU extension. Further, proctorU keeps telling me to install the newer version, but it is up to date and current. I read on reddit that others have had this issue, and tried Firefox instead. I downloaded Firefox and re-tested my equipment. Using Firefox, I passed all of the tests, but Firefox does not allow ProctorU access to my CPU/RAM information. I have not had CPU/RAM issues in the past, and am currently using a 2017 MacBook Air with 11.1 MacOS Big Sur.

My question is whether anyone else has had issues with ProctorU testing using the Chrome browser on a Mac? Should I be concerned with the inability to test CPU/RAM on ProctorU?

Appreciate any feedback, and good luck.

I've been studying for about two months and registered for June LSAT. When I started studying, RC was the hardest section for me. After about one month I saw significant improvement on my RC section. However, lately my RC score dropped again and this time I almost got all these difficult questions right but constantly miss the ones marked as difficulty level 1 or 2. What's worse is that I don't think I got them wrong because of misreading or something, but because I genuinely didn't understand these questions. I really don't know what's going on. Has anyone been through the same experience? I would really appreciate some advice!

I am scheduled for the June test and just completed a prep test yesterday. I am always content with my LG score and my RC has gotten better. However, I got 14 wrong on the LR section. It seems like LR has gotten worse for me. 14 wrong?? Im in need of useful tips or strategies I can implement in these next two weeks as it is the one thing keeping me from my goal score.

Can someone that knows about games help me do this one in a stacked way? JY explains it in a linear way which is not how it is presented and I am confused on how to do it. Thank you.

Can anyone explain to me when to use a blocking or bridging NA, I always find myself getting easier NA questions wrong bc I'm zeroed in on the conclusion and if there is a bridge AC I assume its a Sufficient Assumption AC and it's therefore it's not necessarily true. Then in difficult questions I tend to zero into the conclusion and end up getting those right, but not all the time. I guess my hesitance on bridging is I don't want to mistakenly pick an SA AC but at the same time I know that sometimes the right answer to and NA question can be both a SA and NA. Can anyone tell me when it's okay to pick a bridging AC? and also how something can be sufficient and necessary at the same time? Thank you in advance!

Wondering what others feel is the right time to call it a day grinding LG sections. If I manage to get -0 on almost every section I try, did I "do it"? Like am I done studying? What if I get -0 on the majority I attempt, but there are still many sections that I haven't attempted?

Hello 7Sage neighborhood,

Does anyone have advice on how to seek out legal volunteering & internship opportunities in your local area. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!

Happy studying --

I am aiming at 155. I can't complete 4 games in time constrain. Should I skip the most difficult one ?

Up until this point I've only taken 4 section prep test to harden my mental endurance. The June LSAT is flex. My question is: should I do my final week of prep test with 4 sections? Or should I simulate the flex? What are other peeps doing?

I am scheduled for the June test in about 2 weeks, and I am stuck at a score ranging from 156-158. I average -3 to -4 on LG and -9 on RC, however my LR score varies so much and not in a good way. Im in need of ways to get just a handful more questions right on LR to get my score to the 160s :/ Any tips or help is appreciated

Hi everyone! Since the June flex is coming up, just wanted to ask anyone and everyone if you all have tips to make sure everything goes smoothly on test day (to the extent that we can control) and/or tips to keep your cool the week leading up to it. Any guidance will be much appreciated, since this will be my first LSAT. Thanks all :)

When is 7sage going to integrate the 3 + 1 Format of the August 2021 and beyond to the testing software? I think it would really advantage students for real test scenario?
