Anyone looking to start a study group?

Hi all,

Im starting to transition from the course LR content to more drilling and improving speed.

Particularly, I noticed that almost every practice test and section, almost all my wrong answers on the last half to last quarter, where I move more quickly and guess.

While I clearly missed something to get them wrong, I feel like the time really gets to me, espcially since my BR are usually a lot better than my actuals.

I wonder if this is a common feature most people see and the best ways I should do drills (such as what questions to work on, how many should I do at once, what settings or timing features i should do ect).

Also, right now I'm using the notes feature to help me study what im getting wrong, how to do questions more efficiently, and what mistakes I made in lawgic.

Am I missing any critical steps in my review that help me?

Whats the best way to get faster and more efficient in RC?

Not referring to question types—more like what trap answers are you falling for? What faulty reasoning do you keep using? I have a wrong answer journal and still find myself making the same mistakes bc I can’t fix ALL of them and idk which are most prevalent. A way to see those makes fixing them more tangible and plausible!

When drilling on the go, I don’t always have the chance to WAJ a question on the spot. It would be helpful to have a button I could press that keeps a running list of the questions I want to sit down and WAJ so that I don’t have to comb through all my past drills to do so. It could be kind of like the current “bookmark” feature — you click the button and then are able to access your list of questions and remove those questions from the list as you WAJ them. Thanks for considering!

I've started taking PT's almost every week, and I'd like to learn more about everyone's PT Routines!

Anything you do before the test or in-between sections?

For myself: I do a few dynamic stretches and have a light snack before PT. Also, I take nice deep breaths and circular breathing in-between sections.

Please comment, I'd love to hear about them!

Hi, out of curiosity I'm wondering how the score equivalent for full tests is determined from sections. For example, I took LR sections from PT 122 and got -1 and -0 on the sections, with PrepTest equivalent scores of 172 and 174, respectively. Wondering why, based on numbers alone, my -0 section wouldn't be a 180 equivalent, for example. Same with why the -1 section wouldn't be higher. Is it because it's an older test with relatively less difficulty than more current ones? TYIA for any insight!

How representational are these truly? I got a 0 on a RC, but it said that my PT equivalent was only 175?? And similarly, I got a -3 on a RC, and the equivalent was 167 - shouldn't this be closer to a 169?

I realize this might be a common or frustrating issue, but I’m seeing a discrepancy in my recent LR results. Earlier today, I completed a 15-question drill and scored 10/15. During my Blind Review, I technically scored 11/15; however, I switched three previously correct answers to incorrect ones. Essentially, my logical understanding should have gotten a 14/15.

Because this was an untimed section, the 7Sage analytics are difficult to interpret; eight questions are flagged for review despite only five being truly incorrect on the second pass. Has anyone else encountered this frequently? I understand I should stick with my gut if I’m confident in an answer, even if it’s flagged for Blind Review, but the data still feels misleading.

Does anyone have any tips on not doubting your answers. I will narrow it down to two and I have noticed I pick the wrong one. I just did a PT and scored a 152 and then BR to a 161, all by picking my other narrowed down answers.

Could you share a bit about why you prefer one over the other?

I dont really understand BR exactly. What I do is when i get a question wrong I review it. Is that blind review? Or is it when you re-do the entire section again? And then after that you then review missed questions? That seems overly redundant and very time consuming. Also for the setting in BR it shows what questions you missed. Should I turn this setting off so I dont know which ones are wrong?

I just scored a 177 on PT127.

I’m registered for the April LSAT and in the final stretch. My most recent full PT was a 174, and I’m generally scoring in the low 170s. With about 14 days left, I’m really hoping to push above 175, since even 1-2 points could make a big difference for me as a splitter aiming for the T14.

I’m considering taking full PTs more often, maybe twice a week, but I’m not sure what approach is most likely to help me gain those last few points. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

I just scored a 174 on PT140.

Hello! I'm Ahmi. I'm a 10-years-of-work-experience to law student tutor who learned to loathe and then love the LSAT. I started at a 139 diagnostic, scored a 150 official and then learned to turn on the jets and 2 months later scored a 167 official. I now consistently score 170+ on every practice test.

I work with students of all score ranges and backgrounds, but I particularly excel with students who have plateaued and are looking to break open the test. I've worked with students who are starting on their LSAT journey to third time test takers in dire need of score improvement in a short window.

If any of the above sounds like you...please don't hesitate to reach out to me and we can see if we are a fit. Feel free to:

• DM

• Email: ahmiglsat@gmail.com

Update: I'm fully booked right now, so I'm no longer taking clients for the time being.

Please don't hesitate to comment below, reach out to my DM's or email should you have any questions, and I look forward to meeting some of you :)

I am having a lot of trouble with practice problems on sufficient and necessary conditions. Each practice problem I attempt concerning the contrapositive, I end up missing the mark (especially on the translating into Lawgic formulas). Does anyone have any tips on how I can master this topic?

Hi, I started studying for the LSAT 6 months ago, and I am taking the April exam. I have scored in 4 PTs in my target range, and I have two weeks until the April exam. I really want this to be the end of my LSAT studying, and that makes me want to push as hard as I can in this last phase of studying. However, I am feeling a lot of mental fatigue and burn out. Does anyone have tips for how to handle these last two weeks of studying? I know that I should be dialing it back for the last week, but I feel like I should still be doing SOMETHING this week, and I am not sure what to do.

Hello!

As the title says, I'm struggling to close the gap between my scores and my blind review scores. I average a 167 on my PTs (best 171), and average a 177 on my blind reviews (best 180). That is a pretty significant jump, and getting consistently over 170 would make my dream schools much more feasible. I am struggling with how to get there.

I think a big thing for me is eye fatigue by the ends of sections and especially by the end of the test. I also just really struggle with the same question types consistently, despite having spent a lot of time reviewing those questions, creating a wrong answer journal, and watching explanations.

Any advice?

Hi! I'm El. I believe that the LSAT is a unique test - it genuinely rewards the kind of clear, precise thought that makes good lawyers, rather than making you memorize things you'll never use again. I'm taking on two or three new students who are looking to get better at the kind of thinking the LSAT wants you to do. If you're looking to train your ability to break down arguments, discuss structure, and point out flaws - rather than just learning question types - I'd like to work with you.

I've worked with a wide range of students, from those in the 130s who need help with establishing fundamentals to those in the 170s who are aiming at complete mastery (ask me about my testimonials!). I'm great at explaining confusing questions, providing foundational strategies, and helping you understand what it would take for you to become better at the LSAT.

A little about me: I went from a 173 cold diagnostic to a 175 on the official test (with several 180s on practice tests!). I studied writing and philosophy in college, and have taught for classes, friends, and as a volunteer. My tutoring is an extension of that: I enjoy explaining things and helping people think more clearly, and the LSAT happens to be a place where that sort of thing is rewarded.

A little about the tutoring: I've tried a lot of things, and the format that I've found most consistently delivers results is taking notes while you work through a full section of a real test, where you verbalize your reasoning on every question. Then, we go over the section in detail: focusing on specific questions where easily fixable mistakes tripped you up, as well as problematic test-wide trends. Doing this lets us catch the mistakes you're actually making, as well as places where shaky foundations could cost you points. I track your pace, precision, and stamina, and offer strategies to improve each. My rate is $200/hour, and I offer package discounts: $190/hour for 20 hours and $180/hour for 40 hours.

Most of my students take two hour sessions, one to three times a week. I offer free consultations: a 20-30 minute call where we talk specifics, ask each other questions, and maybe work through a practice problem or two. Don't hesitate to send me a DM - I'd love to chat and see if we'd be a good fit.

I initially wanted to go to law school in 2022, and started my LSAC profile then, so two of my LORs are from 2022. While I would still request an LOR from these individuals today, would it be ideal to request newer LORs from them? I know one of them is not dated, but the other might be.

There's also a third person I'd like to obtain an LOR from, who is the Dean of my current program, which is at my target school. Should I swap one of those older LORs for one from him, or is it okay to have three?

I know a video was released just talking about this, however, I wanted to ask regarding my personal circumstance. I am a Junior in college with a busy schedule and heavy load. I am hoping to take the LSAT in June my goal is a 160- I currently have a 145 (diagnostic taken in feb). I started studying more consistently middle of February, however, it is still on and off. Should I take the June one for the experience even if I might not do great? I am just nervous to only have the August LSAT. I will have about a month once school ends to completely lock in and study for the June LSAT. What do we think?

Thank you in advance :).

4/1 UPDATE: Hi! I'll be changing this study session to 6:00 PM. And instead of using zoom, I'll be using the "Study Room" feature 7Sage has in the chat. I'll be studying for ~2-2.5hrs monday through friday. See y'all there!

Hi, everyone! My name is Alejandra, and I'm based in NYC. Would anyone want to meet on Zoom at 7:00am every weekday to study independently? I work full-time and feel like studying a bit before work would be best for me. I know it's early but would love to know if anyone else is down!

Thanks :)

So I am slated to take the April LSAT, def not ready. I have been studying since mid Feb decently consistently. My main plan is august LSAT is my main. September backup. Should I keep the April test date or move it? When does one want to cancel a score? What does cancelling entail? Can schools see that? Is that bad? If I score like a 150 do I keep that or delete it? Confused on what to do. Thank you!

Would I be considered a URM? My grandparents are both fully native, but I am only a quarter native. I also don't have a tribal card. Despite this, I do have some unique experiences related to being native that I discuss in my diversity statement, for example, staying at the Indian reservation for special events and family visits as well as witnessing racial discrimination against family members.
