I took my first ever diagnostic from Khan Academy about a month ago and scored a 152, and recently took a PT and scored 158. I’m enjoying the CC and it’s definitely helped me approach questions better, but I continue to have significant issues with MBT, parallel method and flaw questions. Any suggestions on how I can improve in these? My approach so far has been to practice the hardest questions from the problem sets. I have plenty of time before giving the actual test, but I’m hoping to see my score hit 165 consistently in the coming months. Hadn’t got time to foolproof logic games till now but will be doing that post improving my LR performance.

Suggestions on how to improve in these areas – especially from those who have recorded drastic improvements – are welcome. Help out a fellow Sager!

Looking for a study buddy for the November LSAT I’m currently working on the LR section

Hey, anyone interested in becoming study buddies? I want someone who is willing to do serious studying and put in at least 12 hours a day! I don’t even mind having a group of four people. Please feel free to message me and we can communicate via Skype.

Thank you and best of luck to all preparing to write the LSAT in the future.

Hi everyone. Does anyone have advice on setting up practice tests or making sure that the practice tests are the same format as Flex? Taking it in August and I know that it is now only three sections (LR, LG, RC) and weighted equally. I would love to practice and know my score in this format and I have no idea how to set it up!

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey guys, I wanted to know how you guys take PTs. Do you print them out or do you do them on the website?

I was excited to get a 170 (-1 LR, -2 LR, -5 LG, -4 RC) on Preptest 79 but got bummed out seeing that with the LSAT Flex converter the score fell to 167-168. I haven't experienced this kind of discrepancy between LSAT and LSAT Flex with any other PTs.

Why is this the case? Can I still "count" the score as a 170 despite the score conversion?

I am wondering if we need to make a ProctorU account before taking the LSAT-Flex. If so, does anyone know what we're supposed to list as the "Institution??"

Hi all,

Am currently studying for the November exam (not my end all, just a first try). I've been going through the CC, specifically the LG curriculum to get myself acquainted but I often feel like I'm not doing enough. At what point did you start doing the fool proofing/taking full length tests? Is it okay to just focus on the CC for now or should I be starting as well?

I found a pattern that I get most Q1 to Q 15 on LR right, but after Q15-16, I start to get more wrong question. Anyone has similar situation like me? Any good suggestions to improve it? Thank you 7sagers!

Hi everyone, I figured I would ask this here since I am not sure where else to ask!

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use the command F feature on our computers to highlight words within text on the flex LSAT? This would be extremely helpful I think, especially for reading comp. I read someones comment on one of the preptests that LSAC has said they are allowing this, but it seems too good to be true... can anyone confirm (or deny)?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I tend to see a trend in my PTs that I miss most of my questions in LR between Q15 and on. I wanted to starting drilling this level of difficulty questions.

Do you guys think drilling "medium and harder" difficulty in LR would be the equivalent difficulty of questions 15 and on?

Thank you in advance (:

Im trying to figure out where to go from here. I’ve taken 4 PTs 50, 51, 60, 61 And I got a 166, 163, 165, and a 159 respectively. It seems like I’m not improving and I did the best right after finishing The CC. I’ve had a lot of stress in my life for the past few weeks which could explain the dip, but I’m taking the August exam. I guess I’m trying to figure out if I should 1) do the CC again, 2) stop taking PTs and go through sets untimed or 3) keep taking PTs and blind reviewing

Hey everyone, I have a question about the LSAT flex. About how much time is given to get from one section to another? I'm hoping I'll have at least a few seconds to regroup and not have to jump immediately into the next section.

After finishing the LSAT Trainer I hopped on PowerScore LG.

Im finding it excessively wordy and convoluting. Its confusing me more instead of helping.

Anyone else agree with this? Im even thinking of dropping it because it feels like a waste of time

I feel most comfortable warming up for a PT (and presumably the real thing) with a couple easy LG and LR questions, although my question for experienced test takers is: do you have a "cheat sheet" with helpful hints/reminders that you have built up over your studies, that you prefer to review right before testing as opposed to practicing questions? If so, how helpful have you found this and would you recommend?

Where my 7sagers at??? First test down. 155. The road to 175 just begun

Hey guys i will be taking the LSAT in Nov. It is my first time taking the LSAT, do you think that 4 months should be enough time to study? Planing a retake in January. Any advice on how much I should study everyday to use my time wisely?

Hi everyone,

@"Juliet --Student Service--" and our consultant Gail Dauer have put together a very useful list of virtual law school events. You can see it here: https://coda.io/@david-busis/7sage-law-school-list/virtual-law-school-events-28

I plan on retaking the LSAT in October, so do I need to complete the writing section for my first test? Or can I skip and just do writing on my second test?

Hi all,

I was curious if anyone had experience with editing services for their personal statements? I am starting to finish mine and was curious if they are worth the money and which ones people have had good experiences with?

AHH I'm so stoked to be hitting PT's the way I am.

Work hard, learn the fundamentals, and you're nearly there!

Does anyone else have a difficult time dealing with burnout/mental health while studying? I have been studying everyday for the past two months in quarantine. I have pretty much isolated myself from all my friends, and I've probably been spending around 8+ hours a day studying. I know this is the wrong way to go, but I feel like if I study less and start doing other things, I'll become easily distracted. I've only taken two or three days off these past two months, because I always convince myself that I can handle this amount of work. I was planning on taking July, but I had to cancel because a couple weeks before the exam, my PT scores were dropping significantly. My lifestyle at home is ok, but I find myself getting agitated by the exam around family sometimes, which worsens the situation. I'm very result oriented, so I tend to expect quick improvements, but I know the LSAT requires a ton of patience. I've tried yoga, and it's truly helped, but at the end of the day I can't tell if all this work and mental stress is worth it. I've wanted to become a lawyer since the 5th grade, but now I feel like this amount of stress and work just isn't healthy. I keep reminding myself that there are ways to manage this type of stress, but for some reason, I can't seem to get myself to improve my work-life balance. I've come to a breaking point about two times in these past couple months where I absolutely needed to take a break, and I find it difficult to judge when I really need to take a day off. I've dealt with some difficult emotions, and I reconsider going to law school when I feel burnt out. After a day off, I definitely feel ready to get back into studying, but I don't feel like this type of lifestyle is good for anyone. I want this studying process to be a more positive, and healthy experience, and I know everyone is capable of making it one. I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with burning out and anxiety. I'm sure this is a difficulty for a lot of us, but if anyone has had similar experiences with trying to overcome these setbacks, feel free to leave a comment. Thank you
