Hello.

As many, feeling incredibly discouraged and stressed leading up to the June 2021 LSAT test in just a week and a half. I am frustrated because two months ago I was able to break 170, but since then my score has dropped. My last three practice tests have been a 165 (Prep Test 84), 167 (85), and a 166 (86). My blind reviews are typically higher than 170 (although my last one was 168 - just not my best test). I am planning on really buckling down and taking multiple practice tests/problems in the week and a half, but wondering if I will need to set my expectations lower on what I'm likely to get on the actual test. I'm hoping to get at least a 168, but not even sure if I'm going to hit that at this point.

At this point I am not going to reschedule (plus I would have to almost restart studying because I am used to the three sections) so just looking for either encouragement or the need to lower my expectations.

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for what I am currently experiencing while I practice test. No matter what, I am consistently getting the same number of questions wrong per section (-5 to -7 LR, -6 to -9 RC, -0 to -2 LG, averaging a 165 test score) no matter the type of question or passage. Consistently, the questions I'm getting wrong are the hardest questions marked by 7sage. Does anyone have any advice for how to do better on the hardest questions?

I was scoring 163-165ish average and dipped down to 158 on my last PT, with a gross -10 on LR. It's frustrating to miss questions out of the first ten for stupid reasons.

I also miss -2 to -0 on LG whenever I retake old sections, but I just cannot seem to get my head together during the actual PT and I end up missing -5+!

My only consistent section is RC where I miss -6 or less. I know I can breach that 165-170 plane if I can just execute LG better on the test, and not make stupid mistakes on the LR.

I've been working in court full time and recently moved into a new apartment.

I've had times when I had to work past normal working hours. Things are getting taxing for me since we started to get back to working in-person more now.

So far I've taken the LSAT twice.

My first time I managed to cancel my score on July 2019 and I scored a 155 on October 2019.

I've signed up for LSAT Flex for June. I feel like I'm somewhere in the low 160s but can reach high 160s maybe with some time. I plan this year to be the year I sign up for law school.

Should I just reschedule to October? What do you think?

Do you guys have any recommendation for who to reach out to for help on RC? Tutors that helped you get better and even master it?

Hi! I’m registered for the June flex and got the email that registrations would open on Thursday 6/3 at 12 eastern. Am I able to make a ProctorU account before then just to make sure the process runs smoothly? I tried to make one and chose LSAC as the institution but it didn’t let me make an account. Thanks!

Hey all, this is my first time posting on this forum because I have no idea where to go from here so any tips, strategies, hugs, cry sessions, heck I'll even pay for a reading comp tutor if I need to because I've worked too hard for reading comp to be my downfall :(. A little background, I noticed the later I got into the PTs (70s +) the worse I am doing on RC, I just took PT 88 and i got -4 on LR , -1on LG and -10 ON READING COMP. I feel like im looking waaaaay to deep into the questions and it's really making me doubt taking the June test since its literally in 15 days. So yeah that's my situation, please help ya girl :(((((((

Is taking the August 2021 LSAT too late to apply for the fall 2022 cycle? I know most applications open in September, but if I take the LSAT in August and maybe want to take it in October for a second time, will I have to wait to submit my applications until the second October score is released? Will doing that put me at a disadvantage in terms of applying as early as possible?

Hey 7sagers,

With the writing portion of the exam opening in 2 days, I was wondering if any of y'all have any recommendations or advice about how to best prepare for it. The only resource I have is the powerscore article but I really do not feel like it is enough. Any other resources or advice on how to prepare for it?

I originally was going to take the October LSAT, however, I am considering taking the August LSAT because yesterday I took a PT and got a 163 and today I took one and got a 167. My goal score is 172. Basically, my question is do I have enough time between now and August to get my score up to a 172? Any advice would be helpful.

So I'm trying to sign up for a ProctorU account from a non-U.S. institution, and my institution isn't listed. What do you do in this case? I've sent an email to LSAC but I was wondering if anyone here knows. Thanks!

Hi all, RC timing is killing my score for that section. I average about one/two question(s) wrong per passage (overall roughly -6), but end up running out of time and missing the last passage completely (ending up missing anywhere from -12 to -15). I'm taking the June LSAT next week so I get the work to close this will be challenging. Also background, living with ADHD I have some processing challenges so naturally I'm a slower reader to HOPEFULLY not have to read the passages 3 times over. I think what's really getting me is that I'm getting too far in the weeds with note taking which is also a time suck. I don't know - any and all advice is appreciated.

Quick Context: I’ve been working through the core curriculum for about four months and had originally planned to take the August LSAT. However, since I’ve been “stuck” on LG (my weakest section) for about 3-4 weeks and haven’t even really dived into learning about RC, I think I’m going to have to postpone.

Current problem: I’ve been fool-proofing ordering logic games (all those from PT 1-35) for about three weeks straight and am feeling very discouraged as it seems I have not made any real improvement in my ability to tackle “new” ordering games. For instance, when attempting a simple sequencing logic game for the first time, I either take forever (often 3x as long as the target time) in order to get a high rate of questions right OR I rush through and get a lot of questions wrong because I’ve made stupid mistakes (in reading and/or diagramming). And with some, I take too much time and STILL get the majority of questions wrong. Should I take a break from LG and skip to RC? I’m honestly at a loss as to what my next step should be since I really have faithfully completed the fool-proof method—even Pacifico’s famous version of it—for all ordering logic games and a few in/out games from PT 1-35. I’ve heard that most ordering/sequencing games fall on the easier spectrum of logic games, so I’m not sure if it would be wise for me to move ahead with grouping games. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

Looking for people to study with that are taking the LSAT closer towards the end of the year or beginning of 2022. Working through the core curriculum and I think it would be helpful to have an acocuntability partner/someone to bounce ideas off of. Please let me know if you are interested :)

I keep picking the sucker answer choice on the hard/harder questions for weakening questions. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I overcome my biases? It is very frustrating coming down to the right answer choice and the wrong answer choice everyone picks and then picking the wrong one. I will take any suggestions. #JuneLsat here we come

In this question I did

EP -> NS ->/P

P - >/ NS -> /EP

I don't remember where in the CC JY Covered Subscripts and I am not sure how/when to use them.

When I tried to use them before after a quick google search, I would put subscripts and then in JYs video he wouldn't use them so I am just unsure of how to use them according to sage.

Can anyone help?

I'm hoping someone can come and drop some much needed advice! I have a very bad problem of not trusting myself, and second guessing my answers. When I look back at the questions that I've missed, for quite a few of them, I had the right answer first, then I talked myself out of it. I know I could be scoring closer to where I want to be scoring; I just need to get over this last hurdle. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop doing this?

Hey everyone, I'm taking the LSAT scheduled for 2 weeks from now and with classes being over I'm looking to really dedicate a lot of time to studying for the exam. In the past few weeks i've been PT'ing in the mid 160's, (with an outlier score of 174), and I'm looking to squeeze out any additional advantage i can get in the upcoming days and figure a study group could help. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll add you to the discord server i've created!

Hey everyone I appreciate all the interest and I'm really excited to have some people to study with over the next few days. I've attached the Discord below, now that schools out I'm pretty much free all day to study and am willing to acquiesce to any of the groups scheduling conflicts.

I started studying for the LSAT since May 1st. My diagnostic was 147. Since then, I worked on the foundations of RC and LR specifically since I had a decent/good grasp of logic games. 3 weeks later, I did a PrepTest and scored 156. Today, I scored a 160. While I'm happy about this jump, I'm afraid that these past two scores were just lucky and they weren't real representations of my learning and improvement. I'm also aware that it's very common to have some fluctuations in your score for a variety of reasons, but I would love some advice and opinions on whether I deserve to feel good about this or if I need to do more PrepTests for a more realistic idea of my progress until test day (August, in which I'm hoping to score 170+). Has anyone else had a sharp increase in their score within a short period of time? If so, how did your score change afterwards?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take the LSAT in two weeks and have been studying consistently since February. I've taken about 20 PTs so far. In the 70s, early 80s, and PT 88, I hit my target of 167+ (breaking into 170 territory). However, I'm now working my way through the mid-80s and my scores have dipped. This past week and a half, I've taken 83-87, scoring consistently at 165, which is lower than what I want. I'm now doubting whether I'm ready for the real deal, or if I'm just starting to experience some burnout. I've noticed a larger number of errors on LR in particular. Any advice on how to proceed here? Thank you!

Just wanted any tips or advice from people. I write the June LSAT in 2 weeks. I read all the bibles starting in feb and when I graduated at the end of April I got down to business. I started at around 153 three or four weeks ago and have since grinded my way to an average score of 160. I was temporarily stuck at ~158 but now I am ACTUALLY stuck at 160 for the past 7 tests I took regardless if it was PT 83 or PT 52. Any advice for LR or RC just to at least move me over this hump as I am now nervous as everyone tells me to expect to hit lower on the real test. I only want a 160+ mark. ://////. I get around 7-9 wrong in RC, 5-8 wrong in LR, and honestly I'm fine with LG at around 0-3. I struggle with the HARDER questions on LR and any advice how to start hitting those would rock. I PT everyday as well as review some untimed LR sections.

Hi everyone, I took PT 71 today and realized that I saw 3 of the LR questions before during Khan Academy drills in December 2020. Other than the LR section, the LG and RC were completely new to me. Do you think that this detracts from the predictive ability of my PT score?

Anybody have a list of challenging and/or uncommon vocabulary words that make their way into the LSAT? If so, would this amazing person mind sharing?

Thanks in advance :)
