Does anyone find any substantial benefit of reading just passage A first and immediately going into the questions before reading passage B? I have adopted that strategy, but I sometimes feel like I'm just wasting more time having to go through the questions twice than I would otherwise. I know it's different for everyone and we all have our preferences, but is there any general consensus on which strategy works best for most people?

For this question, I believed that answer D was the correct choice. I reviewed this question three times and cannot understand how E, "Many people in the US regard the social responsibility of big business as extending beyond providing consumers with fairly priced goods and services" is the correct answer choice?

Access PT Notes

I've created lots of notes using the note column on every question during BR. But I cannot seem to copy and paste those notes to a word document, or share it with anyone. Was wondering how I could save them to my computer.

Hello!

I've gotten fully immersed into most of the LR lessons and have been working through problem sets for practice. I'm finding it challenging to identify when to use lawgic (ie. when it will be helpful vs when it's not really a great use of time). For example, the MBF question, I did not use lawgic to identify the correct answer choice. It probably would have taken me much longer to work through using lawgic, whereas I identified the AC in like 30 sec without it. So, I'm wondering if anyone else is struggling with when to use lawgic in questions, or if anyone has any suggestions or strategies they use when reading questions that they can quickly interpret whether using "lawgic" will be helpful vs not helpful?

Also, another lawgic question: In the MBT question below, the lawgic threw me off with the second sentence. When I watched JY's explanation, he says the "whether or not..." sentence is irrelevant and therefore we don't need to pay attention to it. I feel like I'm missing something about lawgic, because I couldn't determine what to do with that sentence. Because it threw me off when I was trying to sort out the lawgic, it took me a good 5 minutes to solve without it. Is there a way to know confidently which sentences to eliminate and which are important to keep when solving these question types using lawgic? Or does it just come with practice?

When I took the LSAT writing section, I was happy with my response of about 275 words. However, I have since seen several posts on the internet stating the writing section would be 600-800 words, while only one post said it was okay to have 380 words. Is my 270 word count okay, or should I redo the writing section when I retake the test later this month? Thanks.

Hey everyone, has there been any word as to whether the November 14th LSAT will be "Flex" or the traditional format of in-person proctoring? The registration deadline for the October 3rd LSAT-Flex is tomorrow so I was trying to weigh out my options and decide whether to sign-up or not.

Thanks in advance to those that respond.

I took the January 2020 LSAT and was not too impressed with my score, and it would be a gamble to apply to my top school with that score. I plan on retaking it again sometime in the winter season. My question is, if I apply and get rejected with my current score for the Fall of 2021 semester, could I reapply for the same semester with my updated score? Or if I receive a rejection, is that final for the semester?

Hey guys!

So I have been studying for awhile and have seen increased scores/improvement with my RC and LG sections. However, I don't know what it is about LR, but I just can't seem to do well on those sections :( I literally always get -10 on every LR section I do without fail (it is definitely my worst section), and I don't know why I feel like something just isn't clicking. I really want to get down to -5 before the October exam. If anyone who does consistently well in LR is willing to work with me or also needs help/wants to figure this out together, hit me up! I'm getting a little discouraged, but I wanted to try this forum out to get my motivation back up haha

Thanks for helping ya girl out 😊 🙏

    I’m taking the October Flex and I have a hard time on RC on the computer reading on the screen and not being able to write any notes on the passage. I currently am practicing on the Problem Sets which I printed out and am doing much better than I have done on RC sections on practice tests. Is this a good sign that I’m getting better, or would it be more beneficial if I practiced on the computer since that’s how the test will be?

    LG Anxiety

    Looking for suggestions on how to tackle anxiety associated with LG game board set-up and translating the rules? In most cases, I draw/write set-up, second guess myself, erase, freeze, freeze some more, scramble to reconstruct game board and rules, run out of time. I think I created a HUGE mental block for myself as it relates to the LG section. Anyone else experience this? Suggestions on how to overcome LG mental block/anxiety?

    I just completed the core curriculum a few days ago and took a PT and got a 171. I'd like to get mid 170s in a perfect world, and I'm signed up for the August and October LSAT to apply this cycle. In September I will have a lot of time to take as many PTs as possible. Should I take the LSAT twice, hope for the best on the August test and then study intensely in September, or should I wait to take the test in October? Is there any downside to taking the LSAT twice in back to back sessions? Not sure whether admissions officers look down on that practice.

    Hi guys, quick question about the November LSAT date:

    I'm registered for the October test but am a first time test-taker and honestly am not fully confident I'll score my goal score on my first try. So, I was checking the November test registration deadline and its September 30th, which is before the October test and way before the October score release. So, the big q is should I register for November before I even take the October test just in case? I don't want to waste precious application money on this but it seems like a good backup in case the October test doesn't go my way. Would I be better off registering and then cancelling the November test if I do score high enough?

    For context, I've taken a handful of pts and I average around 163 untimed and around 155 timed. Timing is my biggest issue and I just bought 7sage's monthly course thing so I'm hopeful I'll improve by a few points before October but I'm just confused and worried lol

    Also, sidenote: last year I think LSAC moved the registration deadline for the November test so folks could register after getting their October score. Not sure whether that'll be a thing this year.

    Any advice would help! Thank you!!

    I have decided to push my August LSAT date to October but can not figure out how to do it! The deadline is August 21st, so I emailed the LSAC 3 days ago but they haven't yet gotten back to me and as I live in Canada, I'm avoiding calling as long as possible so I don't have to pay international rates. When I go onto my LSAC account it says I am registered for the August one but it says I am not eligible to withdraw. Also under the general forms section where there is a test date change form, its from 2018 so that's not much help! I also don't have an email from the LSAC that had the option to obtain a coupon instead of writing the flex.

    If anyone has any advice on how to change my date that would be much appreciated!

    So, this is my first time posting on the Forum; I didn't really know where else to turn. I see a lot of people post their highest scores, tips on how to get better, trying to do their best for test day and while I really commend that, I don't know if anyone else feels the way that I do, and I could really use some advice and get out of my own head.

    The plan is to take the test in October, and I started studying at the end of May. I'm vastly behind on the 7Sage study schedule, mostly because I've been struggling to find study methods/materials that were effective for me. My diagnostic was a 151, and my highest PT has been 158 (I struggle the most with LG).

    At one point, I burned myself out by doing a week of PTs in a row, studying 8-10 hours/day most days. I cried every night at the thought of going to sleep and waking up to do a test, taking meds to force myself to sleep so that I could wake up and start exactly at 8:30AM. I took a two week long break recently, feeling guilty and anxious the whole time as time is running out until the official test day; I latest PT back from that was also a 151. Back to square one.

    I realize this may be inappropriate to post on an LSAT prep website, but I want to give up. I would like the guilt and sadness and anxiety to stop, but I also feel guilty about the amount of money I've already sunk into starting this process. The LSAT represents the gateway to a possible future for me, but also one of intense stress added onto present COVID conditions. On one hand, my brain tells me that I'm just being lazy, that I'm making excuses and making myself the victim of my circumstances. On the other, I just don't want to feel like I want to die.
