I've been scoring increasingly high on my practice tests lately, driven mostly by the fact that I've managed to get my Logic Games errors down to zero. However, looking at my analytics, I've realized that many of the tests I've taken recently have had LG sections rated only one or two stars out of five for difficulty. I'd like to practice on more difficult LG sections so I know that I'm not just taking easy sections, but I can't seem to find any (unless I'm mistaken, you cannot view the difficulty rating of a section until after you've taken it).

Does anyone have any recommendations for which tests have the hardest Logic Games sections? It seems as though the vast majority of these tests have very easy games, and I don't think that this is due 100% to my skills increasing. Are there LG sections rated 4 or 5 on the difficulty scale? Is there a way to see difficulty ratings before taking the test? Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

Fairly new to 7Sage and still trying to figure everything out so bear with me. I just finished a LR (main point/main conclusion) problem set I created on my own and was looking for video explanation of the ones I got wrong after BR. Can I find that anywhere? Thanks!!

Specifically looking for PT1 S3 Q13.

Do we need to have an external webcam for the LSAT Flex exam?

Thank you.

Has anyone else had errors with proctor u? This is my second LSAT via proctor u and this time they keep getting glitches that kicked me out and couldn’t launch the test... my computer met all the requirements but the staff was just so unhelpful. I can’t reschedule and I’m just sobbing idk what to do. I felt so ready this morning

Yesterday, we lost a true hero, a trailblazer! Chadwick Boseman died of stage IV colon cancer. But despite being sick, he found the courage and strength to give us beautiful pieces of arts, such as Black Panther, the Avengers, Marshall, Da 5 Bloods, etc. He leaves behind an inspiring legacy and will forever be remembered for his grace, elegance, and humility!

Rest in heaven, rest in power, King T'Challa!

Peace!

Is anybody here taking the November LSAT for this application cycle? Is it too late of an LSAT to take to apply for this cycle and top 20 schools?

As suggested, when going through an LR section, I flag questions that I'm not 100% on. I often finish the section with a few minutes to review. As (I think) is expected, I tend to get more answers wrong in the last ten than the first fifteen, but with those few extra minutes, I'll go back to the questions I've flagged in the first half and either stick to my original answer choice, or switch it. In looking at my last eight practice tests, I've found that when I switch the answer, I'm way more likely to switch an originally correct answer choice to an incorrect answer choice than I am to switch an incorrect answer choice to a correct one. I don't usually end up with enough time to review answer choices in the last ten questions. Any thoughts on whether I'm better off trying to slow my pace down or trying to review later questions rather than earlier questions?

Finally surpassed my goal of 170 with my first PT score of 171. Beyond excited for my next official test.

For those interested: I scored somewhere in the low 140's on my very first, pre-study diagnostic, 157 on my first offically recorded LSAT in November of last year, after purely self-directed study. In May of this year, I wrote another test via LSAT-FLEX in May of this year without any additional studying (due to a death in the family) and scored 160. I scored a 163 on my pre-7Sage journey, again without any additional studying, and since completing most of the core curriculum, I have scored (on PT's) in this exact order: 165,166, 167 & 168,171. I believe this shows proof of steady improvement and consistency.

My test in November will be my 3rd officially scored LSAT, and I just wanted to provide reassurance for first time test takers as well as repeaters that improvement is not only possible, but under direction from 7Sage, is practically inevitable.

Best of luck to my fellow 7Sage-rs, regardless of your goal. I wish you all the best in crushing it. Stick to the course material, then drill, drill, drill. With J.Y.'s guidance, support from other 7Sage-rs and the whole 7Sage team, you can have achieve your goal with the right amount of time and determination.

Hi everyone! I'm picked up lots of great study advice on the forum but I find a lot of it comes from folks who study full time. I work 40 hours a week and am realizing there is no way I will advance if I try to study as much as someone who can study full time does.

I currently study about 3 hours M-W and Friday. I do a full PT on Saturday and BR on Sunday. I previously took the exam in January 2020 and made a 161. I have been studying since May and am still only averaging a 163 but my BR has increased a lot very quickly from a 164 to a 170.

I'm realizing it's not efficient to sit there and watch video explanations post-BR for LR questions I got right and understood well. I'm wondering what advice folks who studied full time have for ways to structure a study schedule. I'm trying to make sure I'm making the most of the time I have and getting the greatest return on my investment-- in short I want to study smarter so the little time I do have I can make the most of.

I'd appreciate any advice! Thanks so much! :)

I have written the August LSAT and am on the fence on how I feel. I’ve read up on cancelling your score, but I’m wondering if anyone has perspective on cancelling a score and doing the test again vs keeping your score and taking the test again.

If one takes it again and improves, does it matter if the first time shows a lower score versus a cancelled score?

Looking for a study buddy to go over PT 74 LR

So I’m taking my LSAT in 2 days and I am unable to focus today but I feel bad not studying at all at the same time.... What should I do ?!

Hi! I’m having some trouble, if anyone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

So, I’ve been studying for a couple months. I’ve been diligent with solidifying the general theory and question specific approaches. I enjoy learning this material and the ‘problem solving/puzzle’ aspect of LR and AR. I feel comfortable when I drill untimed or do the questions in the explanatory videos before watching them, and I see that my thinking is line with what JY has been teaching us. I also solve questions at a decent pace.

But the second I start to do some timed work, I completely freeze. I get so panicked! I reread stimuli multiple times and the answer choices still seem like they belong to another question. I only answer on ‘gut feelings’ that I can’t even explain during the practice. I’m VERY slow (about 15 questions answered per section), and to top it off I get increasingly panicked with every question. I spend more time partially reading and skipping around questions without making sense of anything.

I don’t have anxiety and I’m a relaxed person, even with school. I’ve tried to cover the timer for the problem sets, but just knowing that the timer is going is enough for me to freeze and significantly underperform.

I’m very frustrated because I know what I’m doing and how to do this test, but there is a barrier with actual performance. Does anyone have any advice or experience with something like this?

Can someone please share an example of using the logical indicator "or" from the negate sufficient group? Thanks!

Aiming to take November Flex. Looking for a study buddy to go over RC passages. Message or comment if interested.

Hi all,

Can we complete the writing sample at any time? I am taking the August Flex tomorrow and I know they opened up the writing sample 8 days ago, but I just want to verify that I'll be able to complete it on test day or in the days following. The language on LSAC's site just says candidates can complete "starting 8 days prior to their LSAT administration."

Logistically, do I need to sign up for a Proctor U time slot or is it an LSAC proctored thing?

Thanks!

Should I be doing a blind review in silence to sort of simulate test conditions without the timer? Was considering listening to music during the blind review since it takes forever to do but not sure. Any thoughts on this?

Hey guys! My score on recent PTs has been swinging up and down like crazy! Like in a matter of one or two weeks I've been at a 171, then a 159, then a 169. Im literally including a link to a photo so you all can see how big these swings are: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11fxiUjcEJUYNQqNxgoCv6rDzlV3EXI0w/view?usp=sharing

If it were only 4 or 5 points I wouldnt care so much... but Im hoping to test in October and want to control for this variation more! The score difference between my last two tests is literally 159-169. What on earth?!

Has anyone experienced this? Any tips to combat this or at least understand what it means?

thank you!!!

Hello all,

With the LSAT Flex format containing less sections than the prior test format, do we know if our scores will be interpreted differently from schools during this upcoming cycle?

My wifi has been cutting out randomly for the past few days (f *ck Sp *ctrum) and I'm starting to get really worried about my flex test on Monday. I had no issues when I took it in July, but the frequency with which my wifi has been cutting out recently has been deeply concerning.

Could I take the LSAT flex on my iphone personal hotspot? I know it can be finicky, but it honestly could be more reliable than my wifi. Also does anyone know what might happen if I lose internet during the test?

Sorry I am new to all of this, i can't see a way to just do one section it always seems to make you do the whole test, can I do only one section on here?

Hi guys! I wanted to create a study group where we all do LSAT prep and study together. I personally have had a hard time doing the LSAT independently, especially when I need clarification on problems. I thought I could create a group where regardless of the test date, we help each other out with prepping and navigating the LSAT! I do plan on creating a GroupMe and also do Zoom study groups as well. Let me know if you are interested so I could create the GroupMe!

*I also have some practice test and resources! That way it would be easier and help us be on the same page with prepping.

Here's the GroupMe link: https://groupme.com/join_group/61869780/6dx4XjOY

My absolute best lsat work comes about 4-6 hours into a full day of studying. Right now I'm coming up with workshops of laid back lessons and section reviews that I've done a million times to transition me into my test on Sunday (3:30). I'm planning on reviewing for 3-5 hours before taking the test and yeah, I know that there are plenty of people that would label me a psychopath, but since we have this score preview/cancel option (first time taker) I don't see why I shouldn't go with my gut and do this. The main reason I think this will work for the flex is because I can transition almost instantly from workshopping to the test with no change of environment. Lastly, the only time I absolutely bomb sections is when I just hop into it with little or no review. Any other students like this or similar approaches that have worked?

Hey everyone! I know eating, breathing and living LSAT prep for the past couple of months can take a toll on one's mental health. If anyone is interested in making a group to keep each other accountable, share our feelings (& ugh I guess we can discuss LSAT material... :'( ) please comment your FACEBOOK below or DM it to me if you're interested!
