How did you rule out Answer Choice "C"? Some folks mentioned, the AC gives only "what's valued" and that doesn't constitute a resolution. What if, people got better at being ambidextrous as they grew older and that's why the % of LH Population drops as you grow older?

I have been struggling with two different types of RC questions recently, InfAp and RecMP. Does anyone have any tips to help out with those specifically or RC in general? Thanks!

Anyone have any tips on maintaining focus throughout the test? I have an issue were I sometimes reread lines in LR or RC and I think it's safe to say that it's causing me to waste time. I would just like to be able to read something once and not have to go back through.

In the PT I am taking there is a flex option that removes a LR section. Is it random/have any significance?

At this point I might as well just guess all the answers ha ha!

To be fair, I've only taken 2 RC sections so far (have been studying LR and LG for the last 6months).

It's taking me roughly 4-6 minutes on the passage and I still don't retain much. I think I'm having trouble understanding the structure, figuring out the main points for each paragraph and their relationships.

I tried to read the passages in 2-3 minutes but I pretty much retain nothing. I think I'd rather spend more time up-front and get through the questions quickly, I even thought about not reading the passage at all or skim it in 1-minute and then come back to the passages for all the answers..

My strongest are Science and Law passages.

My weakest are Hum and Art, but Art especially.

I do read The Economist but I saw someone's post saying that you shouldn't really have to do any supplemental reading

until you have been exposed to Every Single RC passages in the PTs (1-74 of course, leaving fresh at least 15 PTs to simulate real exam) and I agree with that.

On the other hand I am:

0-2 in LG

3-6 in LR

I wanted to take LSAT Flex (Nov or Jan if Jan turns out to be Flex) but now I'm leaning more towards 5-section exam since my RC is so weak, I think, at best, I'll be able to get to 8-10 which is where I am after BR. RC, being weighed more in FLEX, will work against achieving my goal score :(

What do you think I should do!?

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

AGGGGHHHH.

I started out with RC being my best section, and since I've improved so heavily on LG and LR, RC is now my worst section. Welp. Currently, I'm averaging -3 for LG, and -3 for LR. But -7 for RC!!!!!!! WHYYYY

I'm taking the November test, and really need to drill RC HARD before then. In total, I've probably studied for the LSAT for close to 6-8 months now (spread out at different times) and I feel like I've made the LEAST effort for RC because it doesn't really excite me lol and I guess I was discouraged when people said you can make the least improvement for RC.

ALL AND ANY TIPS WELCOME for: RC drills, RC improvement, etc.

So my analytics data appears to have reset or been wiped or something. It suddenly only has my most recent PT listed and the data points have vanished. Has this happened to anyone before? Will it revert soon? I can see my other PT scores, but not on the analytics page.

"I'm signed up to take the LSAT in January, and as a professor at a community college now, we're already seeing how things are changing as time goes on. To this end, I'm also seeing how more and more LSATs are being offered in "flex" format. Given this, are there any changes we need to be making regarding our study schedule relative to the types of questions? I only ask, because if they are cutting 2 sections of the test from 5 down to three - that's a lot less margin for error, and a far greater opportunity for the exam to be focused - in other words, previously with 5 sections, there was a strong impetus to focus on LR. Now with three sections - does that shift the burden as there are less LR (Strengthening/Weakening, etc.), from LR to a greater need to focus on Logic Games and Reading Comp.? I know this may be convoluted, and possibly seen as trying to go the cheap way out - but it is asked in sincerity as to make the best use of 7sage resources, and to focus on getting to LG, which I know is my biggest, ugliest, horrible, weak spot.

On some of these exercises I’m improving to 4/5, on the previous set however, SA, it’s a total loss. I’m wondering just how much of the LSAT is going to be comprised of SA. I have literally spent two weeks trying to understand this, going back and listening and re-listening to JY and it is not taking, so I’m beginning to feel that I’m spending WAY too much time on this vs other huge problem areas like logic games. Taking in January. What are your thoughts?"

So I normally have no trouble sending the prep tests as a PDF to apps such as noteability or one note to take digitally and underline/ highlight easily but recently I have not been able to save the PDF of these files. Any help?

With less than two weeks left until November Flex deadline, my past 10 practice tests can range from 151-164.

Should I write for November or January LSAT? Or write both? I wrote the LSAT twice back in 2018 and received low scores as I underestimated this test. I would like to attend law school in Fall 2021 and looking at state tier schools in CA with medians ranging from low 150s-low160s.

Hi,

Just wondering if any 7sagers have taken the test, whether the font was any different from simulations or if navigating was at all breezy or confounding. During my one in-person test, reflections from lights on the pad were distracting, I found highlighting harder, and navigating could take multiple screen presses. Thanks!

Hey Team,

Is there a competitive value in attending the LSAC Law School Forum? That is, does attending the forum and (electronically) engaging with law schools we are interested in benefit our application, or is the value of it limited to just asking law schools questions one may have about their application process?

Thanks!

Let me know!

Hey guys, if anyone is planning to take the November LSAT and would like to make a study group please reach out with your email!

I’m taking the October LSAT which is less than a month away and I am wondering if what I have planned will be a good use of my time or if I should make some changes. I’m planning on taking the rest of this week to review, and then taking PT 68-73 before the test. Should I schedule more PTs? I just scored 160 for the first time and am hoping to get my score up to a 165. I’m also taking the November LSAT so I also want to have PTs left over to practice before that test. Any advice would be appreciated

Hey y'all, I am struggling on Logic reasoning. I have taken the lsat august for the second time and I am scared it's not the score I want. In order to prevent taking it again on October and not getting the score back, I am planning on taking it in November. Any advice on how to improve LR in the next 2 months? PLEASSSSEEEE HELPPPP.

any structure schedule I should be following? I'm honestly drained. I keep getting 10-14 wrong on LR Sections.

Does anyone know how many answers you can get incorrect to get a 165 on Flex?

Wanted to share my nightmare Proctor U experience I had on 8/30. I’m curious if this has been happening to other test takers, what action other test takers have taken in these situations, any advice on the matter, etc.

What happened:

I then had to suddenly pick back up where I left off, & try to finish LG after expending considerable energy & stress - on top of the cumulative fatigue from the other 2 test sections - to figure out why my exam had suddenly stopped, a task made even more difficult by unresponsive & incompetent proctors.

And this wasn’t the only incident that took place…

As a whole, this is extremely disheartening as I felt I was at my peak preparedness, felt confident on exam day, & these incidents took away much of that confidence & definitely hindered my ability to succeed on the exam. I anxiously await September18th score release…

Has anyone had similar experiences? How did you proceed?

I’m hoping for them to accelerate releasing my score, because if I find out I scored lower than I’d like, I'd asked to be registered for the next exam at no cost due to ProctorU's flop. Open to any & all ideas

Does anyone know why LSAC doesn't release unofficial number of right answers at the end of the test? Presumably the system can calculate it on the fly, right? This could be followed by the actual score on the release date.

If anyone can't tell Sep 18 can't come fast enough for me lol

Hi everyone.

I just did PT 2 game 4 and got crushed by the amount of inferences that were needed in order to figure out the game. Does anyone have some games similar to this in mind? I think this is where my focus should go.

Thanks!

On some of these exercises, on these I’m improving to 4/5, on the previous set however, SA, it’s a total loss. I’m wondering just how much of the LSAT is going to be comprised of SA. I have literally spent two maybe three weeks trying to understand this, going back and listening and re-listening to JY and it is not taking, so I’m beginning to feel that I’m spending WAY too much time on this vs other huge problem areas like logic games. Suggestions from those who have taken the LSAT? Taking in January.

Hi guys, so I took the August flex on 9/2 and planned on completed the writing sample a couple days after. However, due to the heat wave, my internet has been spotty for the past few days. So I delayed it and plan on taking it tomorrow (9/9) no matter what. I am just a bit worried that because I am submitting the writing sample 10 days prior to score release that it will affect when I get my score. Has anyone taken the other flex exams and submitted your writing sample later? Did you experience any score release delays? I know there's a disclaimer on LSAC that says they generally process writing samples within a week, but it could take up to 3 weeks... So I am not sure what to think.

After you go through your blind review and are 100% sure of the right and wrong answers, do you watch videos of the answers you got right and were 100% sure about?

Basically do you watch all of JY's explanation videos after Blind review even if you were confident in your reasoning of the answer choices and answered the question correctly?

Also, I will say if I'm unsure about any question or I got it wrong I watch the explanation videos.

Thank you! Just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of my blind reviews!

Has there ever been a weakening or strengthening correct answer choice which uses the word some or many? If so which pt section and question?

I just got finished with 81.3.16 about financial incentives to conserve energy. The trap AC would have been perfect if we changed "some" to most or all, and I know this happens frequently. I was a bit shocked at the correct AC, however, and am now curious enough to see if some/many are essentially instant disqualifiers.
