Hi all!
Last month I finished all the core/prep material from 7sage. I took a practice test and got my best score ever (164!!) but now am struggling with what to do now. I looked at my practice test and saw the areas where I needed work and did some practice questions around those area, but I feel like it is not enough. What should I be doing in between practice tests to keep raising my score? I am feeling a bit aimless right now.
Sitting November 13th. Would love any opportunity to work through these recent tests with fellow last-leggers.
The timing is killing me! BR I'm able to miss under 8 questions, but when I'm timed I'm missing 4-6+ per section. :(
HELP
Does anyone else read an LR stimulus, answer it with confidence immediately, and the pause and reread everything again and then change your original answer, But then, your original answer was correct?
I have no idea what I created this habit weeks before the Nov. exam!

So Basically from my understanding B is correct because since the study were choosing paintings that were aesthetically better does not mean the other preschoolers artwork were displeasing or the experts work is necessary pleasing? Because it seems like the author is saying that because since the participates chose the the experts work over a preschoolers work he assumed that it abstracts expressionist work is pleasing over the preschoolers work which makes the preschoolers work displeasing which isn’t the case because it is no more pleasing than the experts painting? Am I correct with this? Cause I’m a bit confused on why this answer isn’t A.

I have a 170 with a 3.7 gpa, but am a transfer student and transferred into COVId, so I do not have any close relationships with any my Professor at my new school. What should I do?
Hey just finished the retake!! Just wondering if the score for todays retakers will be released on 10/27 like everyone else or we will have to wait longer? Can't find anything on it just that the 10/14 - 10/17 retakers get their score on the 27th still.
are these even available on 7sage? I can’t find them
I've read both PowerScore bibles and workbooks back-to-back, drilled tons, and done around 10 PT or so, yet consistently I'm scoring around -10 on each LR section and -8 or worse on each LG section.
What am I missing? Was there something that finally "cracked the code" for you? I also just started doing actual Blind Review as of my last PT and Blind Review'ing LG is kind of daunting. Am I supposed to start the game from scratch for those that I have questions I'm not sure about?
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! We're all in this together.
I saw this on some LSAT prep book:
Question: for example in a mistake necessary as sufficient question,
Premise: If A then B.
Conclusion: B therefore A.
Given two answer choices
C, therefore A.
Should we choose the one with additional premise or the one with contrapositive conclusion?
I take the November test and I'm still missing -12 to -15 on every LR section.
Hi all! I've been pondering this question for a while but still have trouble seeing why answer choices (B) and (D) are incorrect.
I tried to supply polar answers to the questions posed in (B) and (D). My thought process was:
Any light you can shed on my thought process (and why it's incorrect) would be greatly appreciated! #help

Hello everyone!
I was hoping for some advice in regards to improving speed across all sections… I have been prepping for quite some time now and have made my way through the lsat trainer, powerscore books, and manhattan prep books. I feel like I finally understand the concepts behind each section/question stem, but my inability to finish each section on time is a major concern.
For context, I have been using the blind review method for about two weeks now, but keep running into the same problem. I am PTing around 156 and feel 100% certainty with the answer choices I submit, but the issue is that I’ll leave every section with around 8 or more unanswered questions. The only reason I’m even scoring a 156 with all of the blanks in each section is because the answers I do finish are always right, and more importantly they make sense to me... But obviously that means very little when my goal is to PT in the high 160s ASAP.
Please let me know if you have found yourself in a similar situation, and if so, what has helped you with your timing? I feel like the blind review hasn’t been helping me with this particular issue, because the missed questions end up being what I review during the untimed assessment and it’s potentially keeping me in the same cycle.
Do you have any ideas on how I can perhaps approach BR differently to tackle this specific problem?
I would truly appreciate any wisdom you can share here! It’s my first time here, so thank you. Also, my lsat is coming up real soon… haha.
My diagnostic has been mid 160s but I doubt I'll score anywhere near that. I also can't seem to focus 100% on lsat since I have a very, very stressful job
What should I do..
J.Y. starts the video off and seems to think it's obvious how to diagram the game, but when I did it, I was totally unsure and did three different types of diagrams (one where it's a single row of 5 slots, with each game piece having the lecture hall attached to it, such as OH, OG, etc.; another where it was two columns, one for G and another for H; and so on).
There are several LG I've done where the set-up reads very similar to this one, yet the diagram was totally different in the solution.
How can I identify this game type in the future and know how to diagram it immediately?

Hey guys.
Since the start of the 3 section/1 unscored section LSATs, how is it graded? I recently saw someone say that the scoring is not the same, so to put my score into the 7Sage calculator isn't an accurate reflection of my score.
Kinda worried here, anyone have any knowledge about this?
#Help
I can't seem to find a direct answer to this. Will the November LSAT be Flex with 3 graded sections plus an experimental section or will the test be back to normal?
I'm a bit confused about the last paragraph. It states that the soil that was taken from land that's been out of production for twenty years contains beneficial microorganisms in the first sentence but when I go further, it states that beneficial microorganisms are lacking (Lines 45-50) so which is it? I thought lines 45-50 supported D but then the first sentence contradicts D so idk what's going on.

My issue with this stimulus is about the term consent versus consult. If ANY of the members had said "No" to the release of this report, would that still mean the chairperson consulted them?

Hi.
So I talked with my employer who is a lawyer who agreed to write me a letter of recommendation.
But she is asking me for specific information for the letter. I'm not exactly what she meant by specific information unless it's the link to submit it. Does anyone know? I kept looking around and tried to look into each law school if they had anything requiring anything for LoRs, but I'm not seeing anything.
Hey guys, when it comes to the Logical Games I am having problems Diagrams some of the games, if someone could help I would appreciate it Thank You.
Tomorrow will be the day I take an initial diagnostic test for the LSAT—should I start with a more recent test from the selection of practice tests, or does it not matter all that much? Thanks.
Hi everyone,
Since I started studying for RC my scores have gone up a little, but not significantly because I don't put much practice time into them. I've made sure I know what each question is asking, how to figure out the main point and the essentials like that. Is my best bet for improvement through just hammering RC passages, like doing all the old ones? Thank you!
Hi! I have done all the 60-80's PTs and now have to rely on the older exams (30-50)and was wondering which ones have you found to be the most similar? Is it bad to base a practice test on the older exams? Should I redo 60-80PT's? I took some about 3 months ago but it is not a fresh test so am worried.
I took the LSAT years ago and got a 158 and 159, I took it again this July after using 7sage and got 158 again. I know where I could have done better. My Logic games I just was drawing blanks on the first game and jumped to the next one, I feel pretty confident on the next 2 games but with the 4th and going back to the 1st I had about 7 minutes to complete. So with that had to take the time to get the easy for sure questions and guess on the back half with time running down for games 1 and 4.
Just wondering how much those two games probably hurt my score and any other advice besides just repetition of past games?
My RC is probably my strongest area I actually finished my section with about 6 minutes left to go back and play with a few I was unsure of, so not a lot of room for improvement there.
My LR is pretty solid there could be a little more improvement there, but the games is always what kill my score.
