Hello, I would like a 1 on 1 tutor to help me study for the next 3 weeks until January 16th test! I feel like I'm so close to clicking with this test and need an extra boost with it. I was PT in the 162 area consistently before the November test, then had lots of non-lsat things happen the day before and I was completely shaken and score 149.

Ideally I would like a 170+ and I know that I can do it! Price will be open to discussion! Not too demanding, I'm thinking 2-3hrs per week for the next 3 weeks.

My games are -1 or -0, and my LR and RC I can do all the question types. LR I keep making dumb mistakes or having odd questions that don't register. RC I need to focus on reading for structure of the passage, if I understand the passage, the I understand the questions but the passage.

Please let me know if you are interested :)

Over the course of years on and off with school full time & working Part time 80% of this period I’ve Meticulously documented 1200 hours of study. Most of it has been untimed or practice tests with no review. ( started to Br months after I found 7sage)

Started at 135. Stuck around 149-152 now (160+ br)

I think timing is an issue but any advice for breaking 160 timed ?...started pt phase recently .

Hello 7Sagers,

I have always read the question stem first. But, both the LSAT Demon and the Loophole have the opinion of never reading the question stem first. What are your opinions on this subject? Specifically for those scoring 170+, what are your opinions?

My goal is to get at least 150 to be able to be accepted into the JD Law program. i am not trying to get 160's +, I am just trying to break the 150's. I am consistently hitting the mid 140's on all Practice Tests I do. No matter what I do, it has not improved.... I understand where I make my mistakes, but I feel that I am falling under the time pressure. I can't seem to get faster, although i get majoirty or higher right on the problem sets. I am getting a consistent -12 on LR, usually -5 on LG and like -16 on RC. I havent studied too much on RC but I am going to really start crunching on that. Any tips or reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. I am beginning to doubt myself more than I already am. I am taking the test in January again!!

I began studying in August for about 6 hrs a day, although I was wroking 45+ a week, a full course load in college and playing collegiate soccer. So I understand I was definitely doing too much, but this was like an addiction. I felt guilty if I was doing anything, but LSAT. Please any tips would be greatly appreciated, I feel I have invested too much time and especially too much money to stop now.

I'm off school until February 1st, so I have unlimited time to do this. I've been studying since August and I really need to take this LSAT exam.

Here is where I'm at -

LR #1 - usually minus 6

LR #2 - usually minus 4

RC - anywhere from minus 3 to minus 7

LG - consistently minus 3 or minus 2

I'm pretty sure LG might get to minus 2, but otherwise I'm fine taking the minus 2. I really need to improve on LR and RC.

LR wise, I've been tracking which questions I get wrong and I mostly get these types wrong:

  • assumption
  • strengthen/support
  • resolve paradox
  • weaken
  • parallel reasoning
  • RC wise, I seem to get everything right on the first passage and then the third and fourth are where I have the hardest time. I am pretty sure my mind just gets tired by this time in the test. How do you resolve this problem? The questions I most get wrong here are:

  • specific author opinion
  • infer from detail
  • find an analogy
  • How do you all recommend I improve? Timing isn't really a problem for me, I usually have time left to check on LR and RC but I am really tired by then. Maybe I should spend more time on each question and more time checking over?

    Thank you in advance!

    How do you negotiate scholarships with a school you are admitted to? My top school has offered me a pretty generous scholarship so I don't want to seem ungrateful but obviously every dollar helps. How do i approach this? If anyone has advice it would be greatly appreciated!!

    I am stuck between the two answer choices. The other three seem pretty obvious as to why they are incorrect. However, what sets AC C and D apart? I can't seem to identify where in the stimulus it points to the right answer.

    Tentative google meeting link: https://meet.google.com/mrw-dhvm-dkh

    check in here or in the group message for updates prior to the session.

    UPDATE: reopening for anyone who wants to get in on this. Last minute... sorry but we split into two groups so can now accommodate more people. So if anyone was looking to take a PT or had already planned to do PT65 today, you are welcome to join us for BR. Edit: this is for the Flex version of the test. Here are the two meetings:

    Group A GMT 0 (1/1) / EST 7pm (12/31). ZOOM LINK: https://princeton.zoom.us/j/94856282997

    Group B GMT 6pm (12/31) / EST 1pm (12/31). ZOOM LINK: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91639882698

    Tentatively these will be Google meetings. Edit: ok up in the air right now between zoom and google... Will update with a meeting link in this post. Just be sure to have not BR'ed prior.

    original post below:

    Recent PT range 174-177. Looking to do PT70 or something in the high 60s... likely take it sometime between monday and wednesday. ISO partner for BR and/or full review. Ideally someone PTing in the high 160s to high 170s.

    Edit: since this has evolved and grown into groups we have a lot more room/time for anyone who wants to participate.

    According to the LSAC website, the Flex will be offered in a number of time slots across (I believe) a week. Does anyone what these time slots are? I’m planning to give my PTs in the same time slot as the exam, so if anyone could shed some light on the slots available, it would greatly help me in preparing my schedule.

    Thank you!

    Hi! I'm planning to take the LSAT Flex in February and have been using 7Sage to study for several months. I'm hoping to score in the 160s-170s range and would love to work with a partner or small group on setting up a schedule to review preptests and other material that's confusing. I'm happy to create a thread on Signal, Slack, or any platform that's preferable for communication! Let me know if you're interested!

    I recently finished watching most of the 7Sage CC. My first PT after watching the videos, my score dropped to a 146. However, my blind review score was the highest that it has ever been (163). Clearly I need to gain more understanding of the test and improve under timing. But how should I go about achieving this in the most efficient way?

    Extensive Drilling?

    Practice Test Everyday?

    Rewatch videos?

    I'm on leave from my job until I take the January LSAT, please leave feedback as to productive study schedules that can fill up this time and close the gap between timed test/BR.

    PrepTest 52 -10 LR -12 LG -15 RC

    Blind Review -6 LR -1 LG -7 RC

    Hi all!

    Looking for suggestions on the last stretch before the January Flex. It seems like I'm scoring progressively worse on my PTs, which has me extremely nervous. I study anywhere from 4-6 hours daily, and try to take one day off during the week to avoid complete burnout. However, last week I was forced to take four days off from studying, as I was moving into a new place. After returning to my study routine from PT avg dropped from 161 to 158 (which isn't huge, but I really need to stay in the 160s). You'd think with such a long break, I'd come back refreshed. Also, I feel like I've forgotten the techniques/processes for LR questions, and find myself mindlessly reading stimulus, instead of the active reading I've practiced (I studied LR with Ellen's "The Loophole"). I'm even struggling with simple LG questions that came easy before.

    Any suggestions anyone could offer? Not sure if I'm suffering from mental burnout, nerves or just the wrong approach---but I really don't want to blow it on test day!!

    Hey everyone, I was just wondering what you guys did to stay motivated to study for the LSAT, particularly 170+ scorers. I’ve really been having trouble staying on task. I’m just looking to see what other people did to stay focused. Thanks!

    help How do I go about understanding what my score would approximately translate to for the January 2021 LSAT? When I look at the LSAT Score Conversion on here, it's saying that -22 is on average approximately a 162. However, on my most recent practice tests, I have been getting -22 overall and it's saying 159 (PTT77 and PT78). How do I get a better understanding of scaled score versus raw score?

    Hi all,

    I'm taking the January exam and am currently scoring between -5 and -7 on logic games during the timed test, but usually get down to -1 or -2 in BR. Does anyone have any advice for getting closer to the BR numbers on test day? I usually get the game board/inferences down okay, but I just can't seem to visualize it all in my head. I do so well on BR because I literally write out each scenario to make sure it's the right solution, which obviously takes way more time than I have timed lol. Any strategies or study suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you!

    I know it's recommended to complete the Core Curriculum before I start drilling PTs week after week, but it'll take months for me to complete the full CC with my current pace due to work (I'm in consulting, fml) and other commitments. I plan on taking the April LSAT and feel like I'll hit a juncture where it'll just be more effective for me to start drilling PTs with thorough blind reviews instead of continuing linearly with the CC (i.e. adapt to timing, build mental endurance, repetition, etc.)

    Thoughts on how to navigate/formulate a study strategy? Any and all insights would be greatly appreciated!
