I haven't been able to score a 150 (untimed) the closes I've gotten is a 146. Recently I find myself stuck at a 143 (timed) but when I do blind review, I manage to get 150 (I've gotten this twice my last two PT's). I don't know if I'll be able to start scoring in 150's by January (untimed). I would really like to get into school for the fall. My LSAT goal is mid 150's. I'll take a 150 too honestly. Anyway, my top two schools' deadlines are March 1. I COULD take the Feb LSAT, but I'm wondering if that is risky. Should I wait for next cycle? I feel like my time is running out. My next test will be the third attempt. I would try at most 4. Advice?

I'm already accepted to a couple of schools, and I plan on retaking the LSAT in February. If I end up doing worse, can schools rescind their admissions decisions, or reduce my scholarship amount?
For the LSAC LawHub prep tests purchased with the monthly plan on LSAC's website, is there an option to switch the test to a Flex test like on 7Sages prep test Platform? Are others routinely taking the LSAC's prep tests to simulate the actual test day interface and then reviewing the questions with explanations from the corresponding test on 7sage? Looking for the best way to incorporate the LSAC tests with the 7 sage explanation material.
Hey y'all. I went through the entire logic games curriculum several months ago and I'm currently making my way through every logic games section of the PTs on LawHub. I take a timed section each morning and then immediately go over it with the videos. I notice that sometimes I don't make inferences as quickly as should for how long I've been studying and I feel like I'm going to need to "warm up" the day of the test. Which games would you recommend taking the morning of to prepare myself to make inferences as quickly as possible?
Let me know your thoughts!
I'm nearing the end of the core curriculum and I will begin doing preptests every couple of days, but since I'm limited with time before the January LSAT I wont be able to get through most of the practice tests. That being said, should I just focus on doing the newer tests, or the old ones, or a mix of both? I expect to be able to do about 15 in the time I will have remaining before my exam so I want to make sure that I am making the right choices.

What is question PT2.S1.Q17? RecS?
Where can I find the written out guide of what all the tags mean? I am trying to identify the question types I tend to get wrong, but I am confused by the tags and their abbreviations.
Thank you!
Can someone please explain to me why B is right?
I'm a girl and I'm Asian but I don't feel that either of those two things had any bearing on my life; should I even write a diversity statement? I feel that my application is missing something if I don't write one, but I don't want to force diversity where there isn't any
Hi, I am retaking the LSAT in January in hopes of increasing my score. I am looking for an affordable tutor who can help. If you know of anyone please let me know. Thank you!
I made great improvements in the LR section after using the loophole. On the pt's in the 60's and 70's i was usually -3 to -5. Since moving into the 80's though my scores have gotten much worse, anywhere from -5 to -8. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and found that taking a break from timed sections and pt's to go back to doing translation and clir drills helped? That is what helped me get to -3 on the earlier pt's but i am scheduled to take January and taking a break from timed work scares me. Appreciate any feedback you may have!
is there a lesson on taking the contrapositive for combined conditional statements where "and" is in the sufficient condition/"or" is in the necessary condition. Trying to work on my conditional chains. Thanks!
I purchased the prepaid plus account however it is not linking to my account and I am not able to access the questions and all on my account. Can someone please help and walk me through it?
Does anyone know if you get your financial aid package/scholarship amounts when you get accepted to a school? Or do you not get it until the Spring. Just wondering if when I get accepted to a school I will be able to have a rough idea of what I would be paying.
This is hurting my brain. #Help
Why is A incorrect? Wouldn't this reinforce that connection between exposure to germs and a higher number of family members as being the reason why the kids have lower incidence of allergies?

Hi guys. I am taking the LSAT in January, but am not looking to apply until next cycle (applying for fall of 2022). Is that too early to take the test, or will law schools be ok with using that score (granted I get one I want) for a fall of 2021 application? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
Hi all. Nearly all of my last bit of prep has been focusing on getting my RC better/more reliable. Sometimes, I can get -0 on a timed section I've never done before, and then turn around and get -4 on a timed section that is a redo and I took it only 2 months ago. I'll even swing as far as a -7 or -8 on new, timed sections. There seems to be very little rhyme or reason. Not only that, but a lot of the time, I won't even get the same answers wrong as I did the first time. For example, I retook an RC section today and got -4 compared to -5 when I initially took it. And, the ones I got wrong this time were ALL ones that I got correct the first time. It makes me not even want to study for RC because I feel like nothing I do matters-- I may do good or I may do bad, but it truly does all feel like it's up to chance. Like obviously I should have been able to get those four questions correct, as I've done so before. Anyone else struggle with the same thing and found a way to get their variability in RC down? Thanks.
Hi, I hosted a group session last week where we went over Formal Logic in the LSAT, a new way to approach LR, and a full LR section! Thank you to everyone that showed up :)
I'm going to be hosting weekly group sessions (at least for the month of December), so this week, I hope to see you on 12/9 Wed 10PM EST. It should go on for around 1-1.5hrs, or so, and I'm going to be covering, roughly, the following topics:
Afterwards, I'll be going through an entire LR section, taking questions, and talking through my approach. If you want to follow along, please have PT21 S2 in hand.
Join the following zoom link @noon/12pm GMT+9, or 10PM EST!

Conf Id 552 864 7080 also works with the same password. Thanks, and see you soon!
If you can't make the time, I'll try my best to schedule a second session, so please let me know.
I don't understand how A would strengthen the argument. If even a few members of Group B ate nutritious breakfasts and didn't increase their productivity as much as Group A did, wouldn't that weaken the argument even if Group A has a stronger correlation between eating nutritious breakfasts and increasing in productivity? And when A says few in Group B had nutritious breakfasts, can that be translated as "most did not have nutritious breakfasts?"

Does anyone know how one would go about Blind Reviewing a Preptest from LawHub? I find it unfortunate that they automatically score your results.
It took me 20 min, and I still could not find the right answer, so I just left it. I was stuck between A, D, and E. Any help? Thanks 7Sage.
I have the Prep+ from LSAC and the 7sage plan. However, when I try to link them by pressing the button it just transfers me to LSAC, prompts me to log in LSAC and just takes me to the Prep+ LSAC page to do practice tests... okay..?
I want to follow along with JY's videos in the syllabus but it won't let me properly link. What is going on?
I also tried going in my email and clicking 'Link to Coach' there
Hey all!
I just scored a 156 and BR'd a 164 on PT 82 (the Flex version) this may not seem like the best score to a lot of people but my first diagnostic last year was a 142 - so to me, this means the world because it means progress!
I am still very anxious as my goal is a 160 for the January Flex test, so I would like to be scoring between a 161-163 (or higher lol) for going into January. My weakness lies in RC, I've come a long way but just can't seem to find any consistency in it.
Wondering if anyone knows anything about this RC section (is it an easier one or is it average?) Also wondering what study tips were most effective for you in RC. I've been doing as many passages as I can, blind reviewing, and going through the answers in JY's videos. I've found this to be really helpful but as always I'm open to suggestions! I also scored -10 on this LR section which I think is unusual for me.
Yay to progress and staying positive!
figured it out, thank you!
