Could it be beneficial to do RC questions out of order?

Instead of reading the passage and proceeding through questions 1-end, would it be better to specifically seek out higher priority question types.

1. Main Point

2. Primary Purpose/Author's Purpose

3. Paragraph Role/Organizational/Structure

4. Author's Attitude/Tone

5. Big-Picture Inference

6. Detail Questions

7. Analogy/Application

8. Strengthen/Weaken

I really struggle with the structured reading required for RC passages. I am hoping that attacking the structure/main point questions early will be useful while that information is fresh. Even when I have attempted a low res summary I still get really hung up on those structure questions, having to review and compare each sentence in AC to the passage's paragraphs.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to know if there were any Weidner Law students/prospective students that can speak on behalf of their J.D program. I did an internship my freshman year of undergrad at my DA's office and almost every DA, public defender, and even some judges all went to Weidner. They offer a part-time program which is really what I need due to working full-time. After looking into their programs, speaking to graduates, and listening to their podcasts I knew that I wanted to go there. I recently was educated about predatory law schools (a few months ago) and something told me to look up weidner. A fair amount of people on reddit referred to them as being one. I know I shouldn't go based off of the first thing I see online but I honestly feel like I'm stuck. A part-time program is non-negotiable, and the only schools that are not considered 'predatory' and are part-time are anywhere between an hour and 2 hours away (not including traffic). I just feel stuck. Any insight, words of encouragement, and advice is welcomes.

Thank you all!

My interest as far as law practices are: Criminal Defense, Criminal Prosecution, Real Estate, and Family Law.

Hey all, I know I’ve been sharing my Discord here a few times, but since I’m getting close to taking my LSAT, it would be great to have folks from the 120s to the 160s range to join in or create their own study group/sessions here. I’m trying to break into the 170s and find that breaking things down not only helps me and others talk through reasoning but also gives the insight that helped me break into the 160s (and hopefully soon the 170s)…

As always, I’ve been grateful to everyone who has been part of the Discord and has voluntarily supported other learners ❤️

I took a break and will be back in August but I still hold daily sessions at 5PM PST!

If you like open discussions and taking the time to do 5-10 questions in 1.5 hours, then feel free to join us!

Thank you!!! :D

I got a 156 on my prep test today and I feel so close to the 160+ range. I got a 164 on my blind review. I’m ideally aiming for a 170 range. For my reading com section, I definitely rushed the third section and I rushed the fourth section. I was able to get -9 when doing my times drilled this week so I really wanted that to reflect. I feel really good about my -4 and I want to make that consistent. My brain felt fried during the fourth section.

Any advice for pacing and getting a consistent score?? I know I know the material and the answer since I got a 164 on the blind review. Help!

I got a -4 on my LR sections I would be golden!!

My goal score is 176, and I'm able to get a BR of 175-179 consistently these days, but my actual performance is a 169-171 most of the time, peaking at 174. I know I need to train endurance but I work 50 hours a week and only have time for a full PT on the weekend. How can I train endurance if there's only one day for that? Does anyone have tips?

A complication is that I struggle with insomnia from a diagnosed chronic condition that makes it hard for me to rest and relax in general. That leaves me with just Sundays to do a full PT since I'm able to recover full sleep from Friday to Sunday. It's honestly making me consider leaving my job to prepare harder for my september test.

Anyone know when instructors host their office hours?

Hello all, sharing my wrong answer journal site (free to use) if anyone wants to use it for themselves: https://lsatwaj.com If you have suggestions to improve lmk

So confused about this consistency - any input or suggestions are much appreciated! Taking it in August and would love to break 170, and have been PT-ing consistently around 164-168.

Hi guys my name is Aly! I'm looking for a study group or more like a group chat where we can discuss problems that were really difficult for us and we wanted other peoples opinions on. My diagnostic score was in the high 160s and I really want to get my understanding up in order to raise my score into the high 170s. I would love to go back and forth with people about the substance behind questions because that is how I really learn. I would love to chat with other people that learn the same way!

I really want to know. Tell me whatever you want to share about your life.

I've been able to get my scores up to 170+ on timed sections and full PTs, but I've really been struggling with consistency. For instance, yesterday and today I got a -5 and -4 on LR sections. I know I shouldn't let those dips dishearten me, but it's hard not to when you expect higher.

What techniques do you all recommend to effectively review these mistakes to ensure they don't happen again? Or conversely, how should I be properly learning from and repeating great sections?

Hi Everyone, so I'm finally scoring in the 160's which is not too far from my goal score. I spent my first 2 months of studying focused on accuracy and now that I am finally feeling a bit confident with it I want to switch over to focusing on timing, and actually completing all 4 sections as I will on test day. Does anyone have any tips for timing? I know the question types, I know how to tackle each problem but I have to manage to do this in 35 minutes which is where I struggle.

is there any way i can do this? Thanks!

I am running out of fresh LR timed sections to do. I am not taking the LSAT until September, so I still want to be doing them. Is there any recommendation for how to move forward once all the sections have been used?

Anyone having this glitch? Standard timing shows as 53 minutes per section.

First PT in the 170s! Super happy with the score but wondering how to navigate the imposter syndrome feelings, im definitely nervous this was just a one off at the top of my range and im going to struggle to stay consistent. Any tips for a good perspective to have after this result and mindset to adopt going forward? Thanks!

There’s a user who is spamming the question discussions with super long explanations in an effort to market their tutoring services (their username is a tutoring company, but they are not using an official 7sage tutor/instructor tagged account) and I find it unhelpful.

Others might find these explanations (marketing pitches) helpful! It’s annoying to me to have to scroll past their ads to find other discussion comment explanations from actual 7sage tutors. So, if I could just block them for my own sake, that’d solve this!

hi! i think it would be really cool if in the analytics on individual questions if we could see at what point we eliminated certain answer choices in addition to seeing when we clicked on the answer

By the fourth section, I feel like I've exhausted so much mental strength that I start to get really fatigued. Any advice on how to maintain my stamina?

Hi! For RC and LR, i'm having a hard time bridging the gap between my timed score and BR score. For context, my goal score is low 160s-mid 160s, and I've increased my score ~15 points since my diagnostic in late May. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice and whether you guys think it's possible to hit my goal by September test date? Thanks in advance and have a good night! :)

I'm beginning my LSAT study journey. I planned on taking the LSAT in January but I don't really know much about when the proper time would be to take it if I want to shoot for submitting my application for law school start Fall of 2027. I assume applications are submitted in early to mid year. How long does it take to get your score back? My goal is the bare minimum, i ain't trying to get into ivy league so i only want to take this thing once.

I have the complete opposite issue from others here. I find myself having time left over, I’m taking 6-8 minutes. How do you force yourself to slow down?

I didn't realize it, but I'm out of 100% fresh PTs (the more relevant ones). I was supposed to take another today but my environment was too disruptive and I had to pause the test because I couldn't focus. Now I don't have one for tomorrow when I try again and for next week. I'm taking the LSAT in August and I need to practice, especially with the new interface. What should I do?

I'm thinking I will retake the one from today (since I only did first half of the first section) next week so its less fresh on my mind. But I think I should still take a PT tomorrow. Should I retake an old one from when I first started studying? Or maybe try one of the older test versions? Any suggestions?

I find the live classes useful in getting some random tips and see how the instructors think. There's a lot of LR classes which ofc make more sense in an hour format class and are super important. I think it would be great if twice a week there could be RC classes later in the evening (I work and get home around 6:30) and have found it challenging to find RC classes that fit in w that schedule. Thanks!!!!!
