Hi! Losing my mind in quar and my motivation is waning a bit- looking for a study buddy to help keep me on track! Been studying since May now and averaging around high 50s low 60s on PTs. Looking to score in the high 60s. I was planning on taking the August lsat but thinking about pushing that back to October.

LMK if you're interested!

I finished reviewing my latest PT and landed a 162 on PT 46 (granted the LG section was easier than usual but wins are wins man). I am now going into my last 2 months of studying for the October exam date. If anyone has any suggestions/tips on how to keep the momentum going that would be greatly appreciated!

As of right now, I work full time and reserve about 20-25 hrs/week to study (literally all the free time I have). I drill PT sections throughout the week, do full PTs every other week, and am halfway through reading Loophole by Ellen Cassidy (should finish in the next couple weeks).

I'm trying to hit at least the 90th percentile (around 165) but I'm BRing in the high 160s/170s so I feel like with the proper tools and study habits I have a shot at scoring above 90th which would be a DREAM. What other studying habits/practices have helped you? Should I try to take a full PT every week instead of every other week? Thank you all in advance!!

Hi all. I've finally finished my LSAT studying journey, so first of all: THANK YOU 7sage, and THANK YOU Mike Kim!! I'm very grateful to those two systems, which allowed me to reach my goals after around 10 months.

Something that I referred to constantly throughout my studying was this post from a few years ago, which lists the hardest LSAT sections, according to 7sage's ratings system: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/71zteo/hardest_most_difficult_lsat_sections_ever_listed/.

Basically, I've decided to make an updated version of the post. I'll also post this on Reddit, as the original poster did. The only thing I've changed is that I've tried to include all available tests, rather than leaving early ones out. All I did was enter blank versions of the tests into the analytics system, and note which were 4 or 5-star sections. Many sections' 7sage ratings seem to have shifted in the years since that first post; this is something I noticed as I was studying, and one of the reasons why I wanted to do this updated one! I've tried to put weird tests (A, B, C, C2, F97, and J07) where they actually occurred, chronologically.

So, here are the LSAT sections that 7sage's analytics rates at 4 or 5 stars, as of August 2020:

LOGIC GAMES:

5-star: 27, B, C, 34, 88

4-star: 5, 18, A, 30, 31, 35, 62

LOGICAL REASONING:

5-star: 5-S1, 7-S4,17-S2, 17-S3, F97-S1, 23-S3, 28-S1

4-star: 1-S3, 3-S4, 4-S1, 5-S3, 8-S1, 8-S4, 9-S2, 10-S4, 11-S4, 12-S4, 14-S2, 14-S4, 18-S2, 21-S3, F97-S3, 22-S4, 24-S2, 26-S2, 27-S1, 28-S3, 33-S1, 39-S2, 45-S1, 62-S2, 69-S4, 70-S4, 71-S3, 72-S2, 76-S2, 78-S1, 81-S2, 84-S3

READING COMPREHENSION:

5-star: 30, 65, 74, C2, 79, 84

4-star: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 15, 18, 19, 21, F97, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 35, 38, 43, 45, 47, 48, 50, 51, 53, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 73, 75, 76, 78, 81, 82, 83, 85, 86, 87, 89

if i did a pt to simulate Flex, and i'd like to also review the section that was skipped, how do i access the answers for that section?

I completed several practice tests on LSAC prior to purchasing 7sage monthly. Is there an easy way to transfer my answers to 7sage, or do I have to put all the questions in manually? Thanks.

I consistently get 10-12 wrong on every LR section. I have tried improving for a month and it has stayed relatively the same. I'm doing the August LSAT so I don't have much time to do a full on core curriculum redo, now I'm focusing on just damage control. Any advice? Thanks!

I know that

A --m--> B

A --m---> C

leads to an inference of B (--s--) C

So what inference does

A ----> B

A -----> C

lead to? Does it also lead to B (--s--) C?

If someone could help me with this question and show why every AC is wrong and why the right one is right it would be very helpful.

PT 2 S2 Question 11

Hey all, I came across this great pdf from Yale when I was trying to see if a curfew violation needed to be reported in a character and fitness violation. https://law.yale.edu/sites/default/files/area/department/cdo/document/50_state_survey_-bar_exams_and_mental_health-_fall_2017.pdf

This link contains a lot of the questions asked on the state bar ethics exams and is a good baseline to see what will be asked when we have to take the bar.

Hi everyone, thanks in advance for the advice :)

Brief background:

-Diagnostic (April) - 159; -14 LG

-PT 2 weeks ago - 163; -8 LG

-PT yesterday - 168; -8 LG

I have done the Powerscore Bibles and 7sage core curriculum and foolproofed about 80 of games PT1-35 so far. I spend 80% of my time on LG, as it is clearly my weakness. I usually miss a couple due to accuracy and then run out of time on the rest.

I'm planning to continue foolproofing 1-35 and take PTs 49-89 (every other) before the October exam. It also seems like a good idea to start taking full, timed LG sections, so I'll do that with 36-49 starting soon.

Other than continuing the foolproofing and taking LG sections, does anyone have advice on how to improve my LG score before the exam? Do I need to change my approach? I am thrilled at my improvement between the last two PTs, but I'm a little disappointed that I didn't improve in LG, since that is what I was actually studying 80% of the time; it was even as easier LG section.

Thanks to those who read this and good luck on your studies!

Hi everyone,

I hope studying is going well! I am preparing to take the August LSAT, but I haven't received anything from LSAC yet on how to get into ProctorU and test out my computer. Is this normal, or have other people received this information?

Thanks!

Hey there! If you're from Ontario and want to BR LR Sections from PT's 59+ comment below. I'm planning on drilling 2 sections each on Saturday and Sunday from this pool throughout August in preparation for the October LSAT, and would love to have a few study partners.

Update: Hi all, I unfortunately will not be able to meet for this group anymore, but feel free to contact any of those who commented and arrange meetings.

I'm 3 weeks from taking the July Flex and am struggling terribly with RC. On a good day I will get a -4 and on a bad day I will get a -12. It's terrible. Does anyone have suggestions for how to best to study these next three weeks? I have gone through the 7Sage reading problems once, and was going to go through them again, but my issue is that once I hear the explanations, I remember the answers.

I opted out of the August exam, but my LSAC account still says that I am registered for it. I have a message on my account confirming that I opted out for August and that I am awaiting a coupon to use for a future exam. The message says that I should get an email within a couple of days, but it has been weeks and I haven't received anything. I wanted to check here first before I call/email LSAC.

For anyone who's in the same boat, did you get your coupon already? Does your LSAC account still says that you're registered for August?

Thank you JY and the entire 7Sage team. I never had the patience to do a full BR, but everything went right for me on test day and I am thrilled to not be taking the August exam. My biggest takeaway is that, above all, the LSAT is a test of effort and focus. Every tool for success on this test is in the CC. Be persistent. Work on your internal dialogue (this is a big one). And remember you have the ability to beat your PT average on any given day. Also, try not to stress after the test. If you're like me, the last five minutes of any given section might be a blur even right after the fact. Rest knowing that, at least in my case, it can be a happy blur.

Per the powerscore guys, this month's test will be the last one that doesn't apply to the retake limits.

3 in a year

5 in 5 years

7 lifetime

Plan accordingly people.

I earned a 172 on the July exam, which was my peak (not average) for my PTs so I was shocked and excited to get this score. My ultimate goal is to get a 173+ because I'd love to get accepted to HYS. I definitely think there's a possibility of me getting in since I also have a 4.0, but I'd feel a lot better if I had a higher LSAT. Worst case scenario, if I earned lower than a 172 on the August LSAT would that hurt my application, or have no effect & is it worth it?

Hi, I am curious if anyone knows any good resources concerning how to choose schools to apply to based on their individual features (e.g., areas of focus, unique programs/opportunities, quality of life, culture). I know 4 schools I am definitely applying to, but I am having difficulty making an informed decision regarding which other schools to apply to without this kind of information. If it helps at all in choosing a resource, I am mainly deciding between T20 schools. Appreciate any assistance!

Hey everyone, I will be taking the flex test this August and will be focusing on doing practice tests the rest of the month. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for which practice tests they have found particularly useful to work through. Any and all advice is welcomed. Thank you in advance! (:

I purchased the ultimate plus a year ago and it set to expire in September. Is there a way to extend it? Or to i have to buy it all over again?

So, I have recently started fool proofing PTs 1-35, and it has been about 3-4 weeks now. I am definitely seeing small improvements, but for some reason I had my hopes up to finish the fool proofing process before summer ends, leaving me to start doing PT throughout the school year. Oddly enough, I've figured out that doing 4 games a day and fool proofing them all takes an insanely long amount of time. I am curious on if I didn't fool proof every single game, just the majority of them. My target score is 160 and I'm wondering if I can afford to skip some games during the fool proofing process. As of right now, I am not even close to halfway done with all of the games, and considering doing most but not all of the games in order to get into full PTs.

So along with that, I was wondering how many games a day you all recommend in order to complete fool proofing in a reasonable amount of time. I have been trying to consistently hit 4 games a day, but of course there are days where I do less. It just concerns me with taking so long, because I don't want to forget all of the information I learned in the CC on LR. Any advice is appreciated!

hi guys. for those of you who have taken an LSAT Flex already I was wondering how the proctoru registration works. I am registered for the August flex; am I supposed to register for an account myself or will LSAC email us directions about it? If so, do you know when they typically send out this email?

Thank you! :)

I've just taken my third practice test, and not once have I finished a single section on time. Sometimes I have as many as ten questions left on a given section. I am able to do fairly well on my BR (168 on my second test), so I think that comprehension is not the main problem. I am just not able to get through the questions quickly enough. I would appreciate if you guys could share with me what methods you used to become faster at taking the test.

This has tripped me up on one or two questions in the past because I think I'm carrying my own sense of what a generalization is. How would you say that LSAT defines this term?

Hi guys I really need some advice on when to take the LSAT. I was planning on taking the October 3, 2020 exam and then the November 14th, 2020 to have law school applications done in December early January but I do not know what to do. I have been using khan academy for the past 2 months and keep getting mid-to highs 140s. I just signed up for 7sage and I NEED a 160. What should I do about the exams? should I postpone one and take it in January and delay applications? What are you guys' experience with 7 sage in terms of how many points did you increase in 2 months? HELP!!
