For the SA and PSA questions, I'm getting absolutely destroyed on the tougher ones. I think it is because I am not identifying the stimulus fast enough and missing the small details that get overlooked. Should I just map it out and understand how to piece together the stimulus first and take my time to decipher it and then answer the question, or should I be just mapping it out in my head and getting better with doing it that way? Anyone got any good strategies they can share? Thank you so much.

Hey y'all! I am a full time college student with a lot of extra curricular activities and I was wondering if anyone wanted to be accountability partners? I took the August exam and I am not satisfied with my score (especially since I was doing much better on the practice tests) so I am planning on taking the January one in 2022. I am aiming to score in the 150's-60's nothing too crazy. I am just now getting back into studying after over a month so i'm trying to get into the swing of things again. I wanna do like 10 hours a week until December. If you are interested please let me know!

The explanatory video glosses over this very quickly. Why is it just assumed that H and M must not be connected? Does it have something to do with the HT not-block?

Any help appreciated; thanks!

Problem fixed!

Hey guys,

I wanted to know if a law school would take into account working at a restaurant while pursuing my undergraduate degree ? If this kinda aids my application since it shows that I was multitasking? do you know if they are more lenient if a person worked in their undergrad?

Currently debating whether or not starting 7sage now would help if I'm not planning on taking the exam until June 2023

If a job offer was indefinitely postponed due to COVID-19 last year, do you think that is worthwhile to include on a resume? I accepted a paralegal position in April 2020, they indefinitely postponed it in August 2020, and I obtained an AmeriCorps position in August 2020.

I was consistently in the 170-172 range for a while and with the October test just a few weeks away, I've been studying more and doing 2 PTS a day. Today I got two 164s. Bothering me that these lower scores are consistent and that on review I'm seeing that I made stupid mistakes. Any advice on how to deal with this?

I did the full length section of LR from PT 65 that is part of the core curriculum. (After you finish all the LR lessons). But the questions were given to me in reverse order from 26,25,24...3,2,1 not 1-26. So the hardest questions were skewed towards to the front of the test and not the latter part of the test like a normal LR section. Does anyone know if this is on purpose or what the reasoning is for that? #HELP

Hi ya'll, I have been studying LSAT for about a year. I have taken the exam three times. I started off with 132, and brought score up to 143 on the second LSAT and got the same score on third one. I have used many different kinds of sites to study. Over summer, I brought score up to 151 on practice test. However, now it is down to around 145. My original goal was 160+, but it is less than in a couple of weeks till I take LSAT again ( I am not planning on retaking it again), and I do not see how I will be able to bring almost 10 points up in that short term.

Logical game is my strength, I get 0 to 5 questions wrong, so I am not focusing on logical game. I get around half questions right for logical reasoning ( I could get more than half right when I was scoring around 151 on practice exam, but now it is down to around or less than half). Reading Comprehension is terrible. I am trying to see if I can bring logical reasoning to the same level as logical game.

I have been just taking practice test and reviewing on the next day. If ya'll have any advice or studying tips or any kind of recommendations, please let me know!! I would much appreciate it!!

I want to take the LSAT by February/March of 2022. I just started studying and learning the basics... would love if there is someone out there to help me tutor and to help me prepare for this test!!!

Had originally picked C and read this thread that was very helpful in visualizing the stimulus: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/7343.

However, I'm still having trouble with AC B and C.

For B, I had originally read it as the concentration of O18 INCREASED (so if it was at 90L after the evaporation, then in the ice age, it was actually at 150L), rather than the concentration of O18 in the ice age ocean is just higher than that of the interglacial period.

Could someone explain why C is wrong? It seems to align with the stimulus?

Basically what do you think is more determinative of ones expected score on the LSAT in October. More specifically, Since the October LSAT is 4 sections (1 Each of AR, LR, RC - with 1 test section) - Would it be more indicative to take the FLEX practice exams or take the regular Practice exams with 2 LR sections? My thought process is that if you are especially bad at LR - then only taking 1 would probably help your score. Therefore, practicing with the FLEX would probably give you a more accurate score rather than a 4th graded section.

I understand you still have the 4th section even if it is a test section so as far as getting tired and numb to questions as you go along would impact your score on the actual test etc. Suppose a perfect world where the first three sections on test day are the graded sections and 1LR, 1AR, 1RC - this would potentially be your highest possible score.

So recommendation's?

I've browsed through some discussion forums on this passage, but wanted to see if my overall conditional logic thinking was correct. #help

Stim: Fear of retaliation --> deterrence

A) deterrence --> fear of retaliation (switches the logic)

B ) /fear --> deterrence (which also just makes no common sense)

C) deterrence --> fear of retaliation

D) I couldn't figure out a rough logic translation but the overall thought process tracked with that in the stimulus

E) deterrence --> need the best retaliation (which is just irrelevant)

Hi you legends,

Backstory: Cold diagnostic 161 in April. Then my dad almost died of a heart attack. Fortunately he made it through, but I spent May-Aug caring for him/my mom, working full-time, and studying on the side.

Did CC. Got down to -1/3 on LR, -1/2 on RC. Good enough there. Taken 6 PTs so far, have been scoring 168/9.

Sat the Aug LSAT bc in the haze of everything w my dad I forgot to cancel; scored a 165-- low for me.

LG is the problem. I started at like -11, did some of the early problem sets and then sets from PTs 40-63. Got it down to a pretty regular -4. But now things are trending in the wrong direction. For the past 5-10 sets, have been missing more questions... like back up to -7, not finishing sets on time, etc.

A few questions:

What timing strategies do you all use for Logic Games? Unlike RC and LR, I never finish sets early, and rarely even finish with enough time not to have to guess on the last (or, more recently, last 3-4) questions.

Are the LG in the 60s harder, and that's why I'm battling?

Is my regression burnout? (Caring for a sick parent + working more than full time + finishing a book with an academic press + studying for the LSAT has obviously made for quite the year.)

Did anyone have any experience with excellent LG tutoring? I am in my 30s/unmarried so obviously paying for this ~jOuRnEy~ myself, but at this point, I'd be willing to shell out maybe $200 for some excellent private tutoring that really brings my LG score consistently into the -3 range.

Thanks for all your feedback. 7sagers are the sole positive thing about this whole LSAT trash!

I took the LSAT back in September 2017 and completed a writing sample then, so it's four years old. I am taking the LSAT again this October, is it worth it to re-do the writing sample?

Hey everyone,

My PT scores have been varying wildly from low 160s to low 170s, with pretty much all of the variation coming from RC. I consistently get between -2 to -4 on LG and LR, but my RC scores vary from -2 to -10. It seems to have less to do with the question types and more to do with if I happen to be able to retain focus while reading the passages (which appears almost arbitrary). If anybody has any advice about how they stay focused on the passages while reading, I'd be grateful. I try to convince my brain I'm interested in the topics and actively work on a low res summary, but it seems to be hit or mess on whether it's successful.

I'll be taking my first preptest on 7sage tomorrow. Any user tips? I've taken a bunch of preptests on lawhub in the past.

Thanks.

As the October test is fast approaching, I have been focusing on what has now become my weakest section, reading comprehension. I miss at best -9 questions, and usually do not finish within the time restraints or end up overlooking details because I am rushing. I would like to reduce this number to at least -7, preferably -5. Does anyone have any tried and true techniques they use tackle the passages? I tried focusing on three passages, but I have seen very inconsistent results with that method (I did score 21/27 one time, probably lucky!)

Thoughts on it?

So LSAC is showing that my transcripts were processed on August 30th but there is still no GPA indicated on my account. How long does it usually take for them to calculate your GPA after receiving your transcripts? I just want to make sure that it usually does take this long and if not I will try and figure it out with them. Thanks for any replies!

Taking the OCT exam and currently PTing around 170. The best score I have gotten in PT so far is 174 (BR178)

This will be my last LSAT and my previous was 167. Any last minute studying tips? I am currently at -1-3 per section.

Hey all! Any idea if we should be taking the practice test of 4 sections or 3?

If we take it as 4, do all 4 sections get counted towards the score or just 3?

For people who do 3, do you worry you might not have the endurance to do all 4 on test day?

The LR was difficult on this test I went from -8 to -11 on this test.

I know this question may sound confusing but Im having trouble with knowing the difference with cbt vs mbt questions. When ever I do a could be true question I have a hard time finding my answer because I would mix it up MBT answers and the same for MBT answers I mix them with CBT answers. How can I improve on this to increase my score?
