I completed my LSAT writing for January's test- and I just retook the test in August. Do I need to do another LSAT writing sample?

Hi,

Does anyone have any study tips for understanding converse/inverse statements that appear on LR questions to trick the test taker?

For example, on Necessary or Sufficient Assumption questions, I have a difficult time differentiating the converse/inverse from the contrapositive, and because of the time constraint, I consistently get these answers wrong.

Hi everyone! I just got back to college this past year. I am hoping to take the LSAT again in January and apply by February. I took the LSAT back in April for the first time. I am hoping to improve with a 10-20 point increase. Is taking two practice tests a week with Blind review a good method to study? I am forgetting how to attack the LSAT again....

Hi! If you're scoring in the 170s in PTs in the 40s through 60s but your score drops to mid to higher 160s in the 70s and 80s would the latter be more reflective of your potential score for the real lsat? If you experienced a score slump in the more recent PTs which sections were you getting most wrong in? and what did you do to improve? Is it useful to practice with earlier PTs if the recent lsats are modeled more on 70s and 80s?

hey guys,

this is just a little rant I guess. I thought I was improving and bringing up my score and I did prep test 88 for games alone and got -12 it was really hard for me and I struggled ALOT. Usually on games I get anywhere between -3-5 wrong. This was just a very shitty experience. It sucks I have to pay the 200$ Canadian to move it but I would also rather move it than get a low score. I don't know if anyone feels like this but it definitely is just a shitty feeling when you feel like you progressed but didn't. On the bright side I am happy because I will still be able to apply for my schools and all with the November score it will delay me by a month but I'd rather be delayed with a higher score.

Hello everyone after taking the August LSAT and a short break I want to give back. I want to offer free tutoring to everyone, one on one or groups depending on demand, on weekends. I was consistently scoring 170+ by the end of my studying, but please keep in mind I am by no means professional tutor so only take this as supplemental help to other resources. Comment down below if interested and I will message you directly with more information.

This Weekend will be doing Blind review for PT 50 Section 2 (LR) on Saturday (9/ 4/2021) @12:30p.m.(ET) and Sunday (9/5/2021) @7:30p.m.(ET)

Also Blind Review for PT 50 Section 1 (LG) on Sunday (9/5/2021) @3:00p.m. (ET)

Saturday 12:30 p.m. https://indstate-edu.zoom.us/j/98335720786

Anyone interested in reviewing some logic games today? Scoring in high 160s.

I'm taking the October LSAT and have a bit more than one month left for prep. My goal is to break consistently into the high 170's.

So far, I've taken 18 full-length timed PT's incl. BR: J07 (161), 36 (180), 37 (169), 38 (169), 39 (170), 62 (177), 63 (174), 64 (176), 65 (171), 67 (171), 68 (177), 69 (172), 70 (173), 71(173), 80 (170), 79 (175), 82 (172), 83 (172) - in that order.

From PT69 onwards, I've really been stuck in the low-170's. I still have September to improve, and planned to do PT84-May20 & eventually PT81 and PTC2. The plan was to continue having faith in the BR process and rigorously review the test every time after I take it, understand why each correct AC is correct and why each is wrong, become certain why I was attracted by wrong AC and what drove me away from the AC etc.

However, I'm not really sure whether this will allow me to achieve my goal:

It doesn't seem to be an issue of focus or silly mistakes, since I typically finish the sections on time and the LR-questions I miss are typically the ones that I only understand all AC after very rigorous review (from PT79 onwards, I even got some of them wrong during BR - I feel that the 80's have way more hard LR questions and way more subtle wrong/right AC, which sucks up more time).

An averaged score breakdown from my last 7 PT's looks like this: RC -5, LR1 -2, LR2 -1, LG -1.

RC seems indeed to be my weakest section. Sometimes it's something that I either forgot or misunderstood in the passages which leads to wrong questions, but the majority of my mistakes are due to weirdly formulated or subtle AC that I typically get right after a very close look during BR. Even during BR, I get 1-2 questions wrong on RC.

It seems to me that it requires some further fine-tuning of my skills in order to get into high 170's. Will this fine-tuning likely come simply through BR (like I've been doing it until now), or would you recommend some other approaches?

Besides competency itself, what else could be factors to improve on? I admit that during the last 2 weeks or so I've slacked a bit off in terms of reading The Economist, but I started reading it regularly again and two days ago I went through my vocab list again. Otherwise I can't really think of other factors...

Hello, I'm wondering if I can drill 1 LR question at a time or one LG at a time. I like to see if I got something correct right away. But from what I can tell you can only drill by adding each question yourself? That just seems like it takes a lot of time. Thank you.

This Tuesday, 9pm CST (aka not PST, not EST), I'm holding a free LR tutoring session on PT 86 Section 1 EVENS. Try to have it done ready with your BR if you plan to attend. This is necessary if you want to benefit from our sessions (imo).

Goals - prove to you why I think the LSAT is a lil cyka blyat, appendix-fetishizing, incestuous uncle fucker.

Plan - a. parse stimuli b. note whether or not the Q yielded a predictable pre-phrase c. discuss pre-phrase formulation, or how that particular question did not yield a pre-phrase and what I did in that situation d. Note the predictable wrong answer choices e. Explain the correct AC and note any predictable patterns. f. Review the main "extrapolations" g. Open up the floor for questions.

Structure - Clock-in 9pm sharp. Say what's up. Mute. Start the 2-3 hour grind. Record the session. Please feel free to mute your cam. I will be uploading this "unlisted" on Youtube and share link. I'm not taking mula so LSAC and YT can gtfo, stfu and smd.

Let's effing do this. The LSAT is not only learnable but also beatable. It's not Nadal on Clay nor is it the USA Water Polo team. See y'alls in a bit.

Hey are there any strategies to choose which RC passages to read first, second, third, fourth? Or do you guys suggest going 1-4 as given? Is it better to do passages with more questions first? Thanks for all your help!

New to 7sage format and not sure if 7sage allows one to print out the Logic Games. I have never had any issues with printing with other companies. Cannot find the printing feature on the problem set section. Am I missing something or does 7sage not allow printing? Thank you!

Is anyone still working through the core curriculum and want to be a study buddy for the January/February Test?

I use to score from -7 to -10 on logic games, my worst was -12. Over the past several weeks, maybe 2 months, I have gotten significantly better and can score in the -1 to -4 range. My last PT I got -1 on LG. I want to be really excited about this improvement but I always feel like it wasn't truly my hard studying and blind reviewing that got me here, for example I will lead myself to think that it was just an easy set or I was able to see inferences I wouldn't be able to on actual test day. The worst thought I tell myself is that my real test (in October) will have curveballs or insanely hard games that my practice isn't preparing me for and I will end up scoring -10 again.

Does anyone else struggle with this?

I'm a bit confused how to to approach reviewing the RC section. Of course tracking wrong answers and why I got them wrong. Writing down question types I struggle with. Possibly re-taking the section? But is there anything I can do beyond this for improvement?

I'm not really sure where to begin. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

I took the August LSAT and am retaking in October. I consistently score in the -1 to -3 range on LR and RC, but the LG still gives me trouble. I am usually -5 to -7 mostly because I don't get through all the games, scoring -1 to -3 in BR.

Everything I've read and people I've talked to say that LG is the easiest section, but that has not been my experience. I've done A LOT of practice games and can do the questions, but am still unable to get through them all in 35min. Nerves are not the issue, so maybe I'm just slow to set up and get through the questions? I would appreciate any suggestions for improving timing. Thanks!

Hi all,

I would like to form a study group for everyone taking it in November who wants to study with a focused group (preferably people scoring in 150's or higher and who are aiming for the 170s). I took the June LSAT and scored a 159 but know that I can score better and I want to practice with other like individuals. Thank you for reading and good luck to all! Send me a private message if you're interested.

Hey guys !

I hope all is going well for you :)

I struggled with practice test 67 game 2 with the " if but only if " statement I did not know that you NEEDED to create two game boards with the last rule. I was lucky enough to only get 1 wrong in the set but I need to practice more. If anyone knows any games that have the " if but only if" rule please let me know I am willing to practice all of them.

LG is by far my weakest section and I intend to write the Nov LSAT. I've done all the LGs from 10-75 but I was ignorant and casual about studying in the past (wasn't sure about pursuing law school). I'd do them, watch an explanation video and never revisited them to ensure my understanding. There'd also be large breaks / gaps between games sometimes. I did another circuit from 40-75 again in that time as well. Needless to say, my improvements have only been modest, my confidence in LG is low, and I remain prone to catastrophic breakdowns.

I've only now purchased 7sage and have backfilled all my past papertest results into the system to generate an analysis. I can see where my weak spots are. What should I do now? Do I drill my weak areas by type & difficulty progressively? Or take full 35 min sections of LG from diff PTs and foolproof them?

Anyone that can suggest a focused regimen for me would be greatly appreciated. I find myself ruing my decision not to sit for the old LSATs back in 2017, 2018 etc. where this only represented a quarter of my grade...

I got it correct by POE, but I was enticed by A and even after getting it right I still don't 100% understand. 7Sage doesn't have explanations for this test. Thanks in advance!

I have been studying for 3 months now and have been struggling significantly. Yesterday I was Diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed Adderall which I am a bit hesitant to take. I am wondering if any one here has bee diagnosed with ADHD and either takes their medication or doesn't, and how it affects them when it comes to studying.

Also, are you going to ask for timing accommodations on the LSAT? Do you know if this affects our chances of getting accepted at a school or even a job in the future? How will this look on our record if we use accommodations?

My personal statement contains information that would normally go into a diversity statement. In that case, would I still need to write a diversity statement? If I do not, would I be missing out on a chance to present another aspect of myself?

I've tried cutting down the personal statement into the length for a diversity statement, but that makes it lose out on a lot of important points. Would it be okay to just stick to the personal statement and not write the diversity one?

Thank you!

The 7Sage Predictor say's I have about a 30% chance of being accepted as a URM/ED applicant to the University of Texas, should I apply as an ED?

For reference I have 3.9 and 156.

For now, I do want to stay in Texas and practice here, and I am a Texas resident/graduate from UH.

My other ED consideration would be Vanderbilt as they place students in Texas and give more money to ED students than UT. According to7Sage I have a 35% chance of being accepted.

Does anyone have any experience with ED in the last cycle? Any thoughts?

So, I’ve noticed that I went from -3 or -4 on LR back to -7 because I don’t use the underline/highlight feature on the digital exams. On the paper exams I could quickly underline the P and C which would help me see flaws better before jumping into answers choices…

But now I just try to do it all in my head because I’m afraid of taking more time or messing up.

I’m doing it on my phone tho. Wondering if it’s easier on the tablet? Does anyone else use this feature to help? Or should I just scrap it?
