Hi all, looking to apply for Fall 2022 and looking for some sort of advice or maybe someone who's gone through something similar.

I've been studying for the LSAT for almooooost a year and I signed up for December 2020, April 2021 and decided to push my test to June coming up. My reasons for pushing the past two times was because I had not reached my goal score of 150. I met that goal in April but by April my new goal score was 155 so I pushed it until June. I'm currently at a 155 plateau and now my new goal score is 160. I'm considering pushing it until October. I feel a lot of guilt for pushing and so I can't decide whether or not to take it in June and then again in October. June would be my third time and October would make it my forth time. My reasoning for June is bad, it's the last flex and it's more curiosity and the fact that it's shorter.

I know this depends on the school and some of the schools that I am looking at take the highest score so technically taking it a fourth time with improvements wouldn't be an issue?

My schools are Drexel law, Temple law, Upenn law (reach), Rutgers, really they're all reach schools in my eyes because law school haha. Any advice? Thank you.

I have a 3.5 GPA and graduated with honors if that's any help. I know the other parts of my application are super important too.

Hi all! I'm currently working on reviewing my timed practice sections and am noticing that I am really bad at getting sucked into time sink questions.

I am working on a list of 'queues' for myself to identify when to skip without even thinking about it, as I often find myself questioning 'should I skip now?' during a section; I want to work on building the reflex so I instinctively know to skip & don't have to think about it.

Personally for me - I've noticed that the moment I'm not engaging/clicking with a stimulus is a great moment to skip (though I still seem to have trouble doing it lol). I have also noticed that I absolutely despise anything LR question with abstract concepts about 'morality, or truth' that require some serious thought to actually understand.

Other than that, I'm finding it a bit hard to pinpoint 'signs' that will tell me if it's a 4/5 star LR question to know when to skip.

I would love to hear about everyone else's skipping strategies as well as things you look out for that give you a queue to move on and come back!

Hopefully this could help others as well.

Wondering how all of you drilled valid and invalid argument forms. Wondering if I should make a quizlet, make myself a quiz? Wanted to know the most effective way and seek advice :) thanks so much

Hi guys, wanted some advice. I just did the curriculum for parallel flaw and nearly got all of them wrong. Does anyone have any tips for these questions and flaws in general? They are giving me a lot of trouble and wanted to know how you guys drilled them and found success.

Had a general question about overall LSAT strategy... I took the April LSAT flex for the first time and had tech glitches / proctor u problems that really created severe test anxiety for me (had to reschedule once, waited for hours on the day I actually had to take due to a tech glitch, proctor interrupted me etc). I got in the lower 160s (had been PTing 167 - 174)

In preparation for that test, I had done almost all of the PTs in the 60s - 80s starting with my studing in Jan 2021, and unfortunately feel like I had burned through the most recent PTs. To prepare for the June test, I've been doing PTs in the 50s which were totally new for me and redoing tests I had taken 5 - 6 months ago (so I've seen them, but its been awhile). I got a 177 on a test in the 50s that I had never done, and have been getting between 169 - 177 on the rest of the 7 tests I've taken post April Flex (although again, some I had done months ago and some were totally new tests to me).

I am still really anxious given I feel like I can take this 2-3 times at most for the T-14... am I better off waiting until I am consistently breaking 175? How will I know when I'm prepared given I still feel like I fluctuate? I was planning on applying to a junior year deferral program which is why I am aiming for June, but if I didn't do that I definitely want to work 1-2 years post grad (am entering my senior year). If I don't take the June test the earliest test I could take would be next fall (and will be working full time this summer so likely will take 3 months off). Am I better off taking a few months off so I forget the more recent PTs or is it dumb to lose my momentum and I should take the June test given where I'm at now (with the caveat that the higher scores are either on tests in the 50s or tests I'm redoing).

Hey guys, I'm PTing around 145-155s and I was inquiring on how to maximize using 7Sage for LR/LG in the amount of time from now to the testing date. Essentially, which sections should I really be hitting etc. My goal score is 160s with a DREAM score in 170+. I'm using Powerscore LG and LSAT Trainer when I'm not by my computer as well.

I signed up for June exam and have an accommodation for unstable internet. I am very worried about the WIFI issue since it stopped working for several minutes at my house once when I took my PT. But I am not sure if hotel will be a better choice since it will be a unfamiliar setting and may have some unforeseeable issue. Any suggestions about this WIFI thing or any recommendations for hotel or place in Boston or MA that will have stable internet for sure?

Many thanks in advance!

So I took a PT yesterday and I got the highest I ever got (a 166). I am very proud of myself but I didn't do as hot as I wanted on RC (7 wrong) and this is actually my best with an average of 8 on RC. I need someone to help me get my RC average down a little bit. Even untimed I can't dominate RC. Thanks! Hoping to pay in the range of $30-50 a session

170?

I took a diagnostic on Khan Academy and scored a 160. I feel really good about how the curriculum has been going. Is it reasonable to think I could score 170+ by the August LSAT? I plan on studying 20-25/week until then.

Hi all,

I have a pretty specific question that I am not sure others will have a definitive answer for. During my Sophomore year of college I was studying on exchange in Hong Kong and due to the protests I was ultimately evacuated from the country with 72 hours notice. This left the remaining 6-8 weeks of the semester online with little to no preparation for the transition. Based on this they gave us the choice to go pass/fail instead of letter grades which I elected to do. I have heard that some admissions offices do not look fondly on pass/fail grades and I was wondering if this sounds like something worth writing an addendum for. Thank you in advance!

I'm taking my second LSAT in June and currently the thing holding me back from a 170+ score is my RC score. This is mostly super frustrating because I took the LSAT for the first time two years ago and it was my best section on paper. Just not seeing my previous success translate to the digital test. Any tips on how you all annotate (on your computer) or take notes (on paper) would be incredibly helpful. Currently scoring -6/-7, whereas my LG is -1/-2 and LR -2/-3.

Please help!

Hi all! I've been studying for a little while now but I still think I need to get into the groove of a study schedule. Do you guys take 1 PT a week, BR, then review the test, and drill all 3 subjects in that order (and does that last you a week)? Or is there another way your weeks/ days typically look? What does a typically day/ week look like for you? Has this gotten you results/ relatively steady score increases?

I am in the low-mid 160s right now (With 2 random score of 170 and 173) trying to find a study schedule that will give me more consistent results, and help with self discipline. I'd love to year how you all are approaching this!

Hi all!

I scored a 168 on the January 2021 flex and after being waitlisted at almost all of the T14 schools I have decided to R&R. I am looking for 3-4 highly motivated individuals to meet weekly via Zoom in preparation for the August administration. My current PT scores range between 172-180. My goal is to break 174 in August. If you are interested, please direct message me the following and I will be in touch:

  • Email
  • What are the scores of your latest 5 PTs? (including the PT#)
  • When are you generally available to meet? (including time zone)
  • Which PTs are you planning on taking before August?
  • Thank you and I look forward to connecting with you!

    Hey Guys,

    Just for reference, I'm currently a rising junior in college.

    I just have a quick question for some advice. I took my first diagnostic maybe ~6 months ago (and scored a 160), and went through a decent amount of the 7sage curriculum, but very rushed (in under a month). I also didn't do any of the reading, just finished LG and LR quickly. I just took another PT, PT51 (flex version), and scored a 166 (-3LG, -3LR, -6RC). My ideal goal score is a ~172, so does it seem reasonable to get there for the next November test?

    Also, I'm fine with taking it more than once, which is why I'm planning to take it so early, and I will be abroad in the spring so I can't take it then.

    Thanks so much!

    In desperate need of a tutor. Preferably a free tutor because I don’t have much money to pay for one.

    Scored a 152 on Jan. Test

    On average I miss around -8 in each section. Looking to gain better understanding of the test, best method of studying, and test taking strategies.

    Hello! I am looking for a private remote tutor (one on one preferably, but open to small group settings). Preferably someone who is familiar with both 7Sage and Powerscore concepts since I've been studying primarily using the two.

    If anyone has any recommendations for a good tutor please let me know!! :)

    Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening!

    Hope all is well and you are enjoying your day. I am currently looking for a BR/accountability partner who is willing to use zoom or any of the other video chat apps a few times a week. Right I am now scoring around a 153 on the LSAT and and hoping for a 5-7 point swing within the next two weeks. Please contact me if you are interested. I am really looking forward to getting started on this!

    Sincerely,

    Bruce
