Hello is there anyone around bergen county taking nov lsat who wants to study together? Currently scoring mid 150s hoping to get high 150s or break 160 by nov. Please lmk!

Hi there! I’ve been studying with 7Sage for the LSAT since the beginning of September (prior to that I read a prep book for a month) with an initial diagnostic of 160. Since then, my altogether score hasn’t improved and is often lower than my diagnostic, hovering in the high 150s. If I slow down and take my time, I get more answers right, but miss answering the last few questions. I speed up and answer all questions, my accuracy tanks to bring me right back to where I was. In terms of study habits, I study for about 30 min-2 hours a day every day depending on availability, doing a mix of untimed drills, timed sections, and the occasional PT. I tried using the targeted drills, but to be honest the answers I miss are so random that there really isn’t a pattern of concepts I am continually getting dinged on so it didn’t help much. I mostly miss Level 4 and 5 questions, but I occasionally (frustratingly!) miss a Level 3 or even 2. So basically, my question is this: is it normal to have not improved at all (even gotten marginally worse) in 2 months? Do I need to be doing something different? Do I need to be studying differently? For those who were stuck in the high 150’s and low 160’s, what got you out of your plateau? Did you get a tutor or change your study routine? I’d love to hear. I’m planning on taking the LSAT in January. Thanks!

I'm out of everything. About to take my 4th official take in November. I want to take a full PT this weekend, like I normally do, but unfortunately I am out of everything--I have been studying for almost a year and a half. Of the old PDF tests, are there any that would be worth taking? I know some of them have been changed over to the new tests, but are there any that have not?

Hi all. How do you work causal reasoning? I understand the flaws and whatnot for the most part (ommited options, such as no relationship, new factor, backwards casuation, etc). but for those good at it, what's your process like? how do you reconize a CR question and go from there? Thanks.

Often when I make practice drills I find that if I pick questions automatically, it seems like there is a tendency puts the most difficult 5 star questions first, and the easier 3 stars and 2 stars later. Maybe that's just me, but at the very least you can say there's no observable pattern as to how questions are ordered based on difficulty. This is really disorienting, as this is the opposite of what you're going to encounter on the tests, and generally it's just easier for me to work into the difficulty.

I'd like to propose that the automatic question generator can sort questions starting from easiest to hardest. The ordering doesn't have to be super precise, but I feel like this feature would both enable better performance and better simulate test conditions

I'd love a possibility for us to drill flagged Logical Reasoning questions. I usually flag questions I want to come back to because it either helps me understand a question type better or is good practice.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m currently signed up for the November LSAT, but I’ve been feeling really stuck and could use some advice. My practice test scores are still in the 140s, and even though I’ve been studying consistently, I’m not seeing the improvement I was hoping for. I’m aiming for at least a 157, but right now that feels out of reach.

I’ve been using 7Sage to go through the core curriculum and drilling with LSAT Demon (Basic plan), mostly focusing on Logical Reasoning and some Reading Comprehension. But honestly, I’m not sure I really know how to study. I watch the videos, do drills, and review my answers — but I don’t feel like I’m learning how to avoid the same mistakes or actually build better habits.

Reading Comprehension is by far my worst section. I feel like I’m always running out of time or just completely missing the structure and purpose of the passages. Logical Reasoning is a bit better, but I’m still not where I want to be.

I’m thinking about upgrading my Demon plan in October to get access to live classes and more targeted help, but I’m also wondering if I need to change how I’m approaching my studying in general.

If anyone has broken out of the 140s — especially using Demon or 7Sage — I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. How did you improve your Reading Comp? How did you review in a way that actually led to progress?

Thanks in advance — I really want to make this happen, but I know I need to work smarter if I’m going to reach my goal by November.

Hello! For anyone who has taken the actual test, how much different is it compared to the PTs? I know the PTs are past exams, but I saw an earlier post saying that the test was not representative of the PTs and that made me freak out. In terms of difficulty how was it in comparison?

I took the October LSAT and I am signed up to take the November one as well. I felt as though the LR sections were majority hard questions and maybe had only one or two low hanging fruit questions. I was scoring very well on practice tests, but once I took the actual test I did not feel like the PT's were anywhere near representative of the actual test. I am not sure if I should spend this time studying mostly the "Harder" and "Hardest" questions or if my experience was mostly test anxiety. Is there any harm to just drilling the more difficult questions?

Hi! I've seen a lot of conflicting info on Reddit and want to know at what point do W's raise red flags for admissions to mid tier schools? I'm applying to my alma mater, LSU Law, with currently 3, very spaced out W's that are not from my major courses. My issue is that I might need to drop one more course (senior) because I am working so many hours. How much of a negative decision is this for my application? 3.75 GPA, 160 LSAT

Hi all,

I've created a comprehensive spreadsheet that includes a completion checklist, practice test tracker, problem set tracker, and wrong answer journal. The goal of the completion checklist is to allow for easy goal setting, and for some, scratch a completionist's itch. The problem set tracker allows you to track how many sets you've done and how many times you've taken it. The wrong answer journal is organized in a way that can be easily navigated and hopefully easy to use. I'm planning on using this to stay on track of my study goals and hope it can help some others along the way! To use it, please make a copy of it, and let me know if there's anything I missed or that you would like me to add.

Thank you!

I’ve just started drilling after finishing the Core Curriculum and Foundations about a month ago. Right now, I’m focusing on Logical Reasoning, doing around 4–5 sets of three questions each. My accuracy is about 51%, and my Blind Review accuracy is around 72%. This is after just two days (about 40 questions total).

I know it’s hard to say for sure, but does that seem like a good sign? Am I on track? My goal for January is roughly a 155–158. Not sure if I should be encouraged or discouraged, lol.

Would love a feature that allows you to mark questions you already know the answer to. I've come across questions that are marked 'Fresh' on 7 Sage but were answered outside of 7 Sage (in study groups, for example).

Would love a quick checkbox or button that will either not count it in my drill analytics or allow me to refresh and get a new question.

Dentist: Five recently conducted studies all show that the proportion of children with decayed, missing, or filled teeth is lower in Europe, where water is not fluoridated, than in the United States, where it is. This is convincing evidence that fluoridation of water does not have a substantial tendency to prevent tooth decay.

Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the dentist's argument?

(A) Toothpaste containing fluoride is widely available in both the United States and Europe. (B) Nearly all dentists in the United States use dental treatments involving the application of fluoride directly to tooth surfaces.

(C) Dental hygiene is typically taught in elementary school in both Europe and the United States.

(D) On average, children in Europe receive dental checkups more frequently than children in the United States.

(E) The diets of children in the United States are not generally worse for teeth than those of children in Europe.

Since I've started studying for the lsat for the past few months, i hadn't really focused on rc as my biggest area of weakness was LR and now as my exam is coming up in a few weeks, my rc inaccuracy has DOUBLED. I used to get from -6 to -8 and for the past two practice tests it's been -12 which is insane and it's freaking me out. As the rest is creeping up the anxiety and pressure is making my scores get even lower, barely past my diagnostic. I'm really panicked and would share any advice anyone has. I need to get 160+ for my dream law school and the last admission date they really consider is november:(. Now I'm just PT-ing low-mid 150s. :( I got 164 end of september but just steady decline since then :(

Is there any live class that focuses heavily on diagramming? This is probably my weakest area that is contributing to missed points for a higher score on the LSAT. In the search box for recorded classes, diagramming is not called out specifically and I do not want to revisit all of the foundations if I do not have to for this.

Thanks in advance/

Looks like a new voting feature was added to video explanations and it broke the "Kevin's version" tab. We can click on the tab but it will only stay on J.Y.'s version. #help #feedback

We launched breaks between sections! When you take a PrepTest, you will now have a 1 minute break between each section and a 10 minute break in between sections 2 and 3. This is what actually happens during your real LSAT administration.

really looking to start a group to study and learn from each other for the lsat!!! maybe we can make a group chat or discord

By integrating a dedicated Wrong Answer Journal directly into the platform would significantly streamline the study process for me by moving away from inconvenient tools like Google Sheets. It would be great if the questions I got wrong or flagged could be directly transfer from the "Analytics" to the Wrong Answer Journal.

It appears unlikely that Causal Reasoning is, on average, 22.7% of the LSAT. Is the "Avg. questions per test" metric bugged?

Wanna get together and go over some drills, PTs together? I'm based in Santa Clara.

Curious how many of you are going to the test center Nov 4 vs testing remotely

Hi all,

I’ve been studying for the lsat, I took October test which I came out not confident and felt like I bombed it but I also signed up for November as a back up as I want to apply this cycle. However, continuing studying has been tuff it’s like I’m mentally exhausted with the lsat, I tried to drill 10 questions and I’m just so mentally exhausted and keep getting easier questions wrong or not fully in tuned, is this a sign of burnout? What could this be?

Have you ever attempted to do the first 10 questions of a section in 10 minutes, or wondered how much time had elapsed when you tackled a certain question? We've added an extra metric to our timing tooltip to give you more insight into your performance. Go to the result page for any drill, solo section, or practice, and hover over the timing column. You'll see not only how much time you took on the question but how much time elapsed before your first visit.

Does anyone want to meetup at the LSAC forum. I am unsure what to do exactly.

Figured it might be nice to meet up with people before/while attending this event.
