I switched gears in my studying to focus on RC, while focusing on RC and completing the RC hero course, I took a step back from LR. Prior to my switch, I was getting -6 to -8 on LR, now as I've tried to tackle the entire test - I've found myself getting -8 to -10 on LR. I take the test in two weeks, is there anything I can do to help improve my LR to where I was before? I'm not even sure where I'm going wrong anymore. I keep a wrong answer journal to review where I go wrong, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I've read loophole, LR bible, did the whole 7sage curriculum, so I'm unsure of how to move forward, and I don't want to spend any more money on prep since my test is so soon. My most common wrong questions are NA, SA, and Flaw. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone! @C_J_2020 and I have been prepping together and can consistently score in the upper 170's or 180. We have found that explaining questions really improves understanding of the test on a deeper level and would love the chance to help out some others while improving our consistency! We are looking for 160's and 170's scoring individuals to help tutor one on one or in a small group. If anyone is interested feel free to reach out!

For those who have taken the official test, how closely did your official score(s) align with your practice test score(s)? I've been doing pretty well on practice tests, but the imposter syndrome is real and it feels like there's no way I'll do this well on actual test day.

I just got a question wrong because I was confused about bi-conditionals so I just want to clarify

If A(----) B, that does NOT mean that B(---)A, right?

The contrapositive of a bi-conditional in the form A(-----)B is /A(----)/B

Is this right?

Let's study. All it takes is one more to make this a group :)

Hi, I'm Bianca! I'm looking for someone to study productively with and help each other stay accountable. Please message me if you are interested. :)

I always find myself yearning to know the answer and the anxiety kicks in. I'm worried the same impulse will show up on test day.

Hello!

I am seeking some advice from the 7Sage community on how to best prepare for a retake when I used up all the new practice tests. I recently took the December 2015 LSAT and did not receive the score I anticipated. I am retaking the exam in June 2016, however already went through Prep Tests 52 - 77 as well as the Superprep Books to study for the Dec 2015 test. I am planning on using the older Prep Tests for my practice tests, however am concerned that it will not be as reflective of my true score on actual test day.

Any advice on how I should best go about studying for the retake? Do you think it is beneficial to review the past PTs by each question? Or just focus more on testing with fresh, but older PTs?

Thank you very much!

I am using 7sage and have a tutor, but my PT are declining any tips that helped anyone get out of declining scores I am taking the Feb 2025 LSAT.

Currently, I'm scoring around 156-158, with the goal score of 163. When taking practice tests and blind reviewing, I'm pretty confident in my answer choices and feel like I have a good understanding. I've been going to tons of classes and working on my weaker areas (RC science passages, LR causal reasoning and weakening questions) but the same scores keep staring back at me. It feels like no matter what I do my goal score will always be out of reach. Does anyone have any tips/advice? I'm writing in January and I know I'll end up taking it again in June, so any words of wisdom or commiseration are appreciated.

I can get the easier WSE questions right, and the occasional 4/5 star difficulty questions right, but I have yet to get 5/5 on a hard difficulty WSE drill. I am getting frustrated. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach these questions? I feel like the method to the madness here is vague and therefore much harder to nail down.

Hey, I'm looking to take a diagnostic prep test soon but I don't want to waste any of the newer tests and I am a little bit confused by the numbering for the new prep test format. What would be a good test (or range of tests) to try without it being so old that it's obsolete or so new that its wasteful to do so early?

I plateaued in the low 160s and it has stared to become a mental frustration for me. Just when I feel like something clicks and I take a PT the same scores keep staring at me...

I have sat for the test twice now and have scored in my band, but below my usual, and below my band. I really want to try to apply for this cycle but I am started to get fed up...

Any suggests for how to look at all this a new way? RC is my weak spot but LR has not been doing too great lately (big surprise there I take it that most hate the section with a burning passion...)

is there anyone studying LSAT in Tokyo?

Now that logic games won't be featured on the LSAT anymore, should we just skip the logic games curriculum on 7sage?

I know that there are a few logical reasoning questions out there that require you to be able to diagram conditional statements. So is there any part of the Logic Games curriculum we should look at, just in case?

Thanks all!

I had a diagnostic score of 159, and after finishing the syllabus did two PTs with scores of 167 for both. However, the following PTs I did after that were 164, 163, and 163. I took a few days to drill and review lessons for questions I was struggling with, came back and tried another PT that I felt fairly confident in after finishing. I ended up scoring a 158, which is worse than my diagnostic. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed since I am getting progressively worse each time I take a PT despite studying and drilling continuously. Has anyone dealt with this before? Feeling really defeated and worried for the upcoming Jan test.

I am applying this cycle currently with a 156 on my lsat and am retaking in January with hopes of improving. Aside from my score I feel I have a strong application: Two internships at international and local nonprofits (one 3 months-full time and one 8 months long- part time, and an internship in the legal department of a crime victims assistance center (4 months-part time). I am a human rights masters student (4.0 gpa) with an extensive capstone project focusing on legal issues and undergrad was in philosophy politics and law (3.86 gpa, summa cum laude at my university). I also have extracurriculars and have worked part time throughout undergrad and now graduate school. I am a first gen student, second gen US citizen and have received need based aid throughout school. Will my LSAT score significantly drag me down? My goal school is Northeastern University School of Law in Boston. Should I apply even if my score doesn't improve or try to improve and apply next cycle and get more work experience?

Hello. I want to drill and practice by question type. I have trouble reading on a screen for a while now and want to print out the questions so I can drill on paper. I don't see an option to download a PDF version when I select question types. I think we can do that for complete Preptests (?). Anyone have any suggestions? Any way to do that on 7sage? Or any other sources I can use?

We want to improve our analytics. What kind of information/analytics would you like to see about your drills?

I'm studying for the February LSAT and aiming for a 170+. Last October I got a 167, and I consistently PT in the 167-173 range. I'm looking to form a small group to study with (2-4), ideally with people that are in a similar situation. Although I prefer to meet in person, part of me doubts that anyone on this forum is in the RDU area, so I'm flexible to meet online with anybody in the Eastern time zone. If interested please reach out.

I'm extremely comfortable with the LR sections, and on average with my current methods I'm getting around -3 per section. What are some uncommon, or otherwise hyperanalytical methods to improve to -2 or less consistently?

Hi all,

I recently answered a question (PrepTest 112 - Section 3 - Question 26) during a drill that confused me. In short, there was an argument about a fifth force (as opposed to the traditional four) existing within scientific models of the universe. My confusion results from the question's phrasing: "which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument that there is a 5th force?"

I found this phrasing confusing, as it is not clear to me which argument it is referring to. Is this asking for the answer choice which most strengthens the idea that there is a fifth force? Or, more specifically, is the question asking to identify the answer choice which most strengthens the argument provided in the stimulus which concludes there is a fifth force?

These two possible arguments referred to by the question are quite similar. They have identical inclusions, and one includes the other. And, through process of elimination, I arrived at the correct answer. But I am concerned about questions of this nature appearing again. How do you interpret this? Is it clear to you?

All opinions are invited and appreciated!

Thank you

Hi, I'm looking to start a very small study group of 3 to 4 people that are in the similar range, that we can meet and discuss questions together to help improve for the February LSAT

Hi guys,

I've recently taken the Nov 2024 LSAT and am pretty discouraged by the results, to say the least. I had been preparing for the last two months or so (about 5 hours per day appx) and had been doing a lot of PTs (too many I'm sure) in a range of 172-176 with a couple outliers outside the range on both sides, and I ended up scoring a 167 on the actual exam. There were a few adverse conditions which I am confident wouldn't occur again on a retaking, but I don't think any of it could have had that big of an impact so there must be something else. I took a 'diagnostic' two and a half months ago or so and got a 169. Please note though that I did take the exam back in 2020 (hence the username), and I scored a 168 on that one, so the 169 'diagnostic' wasn't a real diagnostic as I was obviously still familiar with the exam from four years ago.

I usually get from -1 to -3 on both the LR and the RC, but generally if I miss 3 on an LR section for instance I'll only miss 1 on the other and only miss 1 on the RC. Doing the math for the 167, I guess I must've missed 13 total at a minimum, which is pretty outside of my range, and almost unbelievable to be honest. It's also frustrating that they no longer allow you to view the exam to find out where you missed your points and review the questions for potential inaccuracy.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, where you've dropped 6 or 7 points from your average PT score on the actual exam? It's hard to take to be honest, and I can't help but feel like my PT scores are meaningless in the face of the score I just got. Also, I know it's somewhat common, but I don't understand how my score could have been below my diagnostic after multiple months of prep. It's all very discouraging, and I'm not really sure what to make of it or what to do differently. I know I need to take fewer practice tests (which is good because I burned like 15 of them in total), but what should we be doing to practice, actually? Just timed drills? At this rate, I worry that I'll run out of legit LSAT questions before I can get my target score (174) on an actual exam.

I don't know if I'm looking for advice or validation, but I think I would be happy with either or both. This was a long one so thank you if you've read this far. I'm kind of considering buying a few hours with a tutor (unsure of where) so let me know if you have an opinion on that with the poll below. Thank you

Is there a way to view my most recent drilled problems? I have a bank of questions that I've completed but I'm not sure when I completed them.
