When I review the answers (either in the examples or the problem sets) there is a small chart representing all answer choices with the correct answer highlighted. If I hover my pointer over that chart, I see percentages for each answer choice along the bottom, and what looks like LSAT scores for each answer across the top. What do these percentages and scores refer to?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am confused on how to react to my latest LR section score. Under timed conditions, I scored a 7/26 (-19). Horrible. I know. But my Blind review was 17/26 (-9) which is not good but significantly bettter than -19.

Now for the question part of my discussion post. What do I make of this score? How do I make my BR score my timed score?

Thank you,

Anyone else having troubles with the website? I printed a couple LSATs last week and I did one this week but now there's no where to enter my answers. Every preptest link just brings me to the digital tester (which I don't find helpful at all, i'd rather print and do paper practices). Is this a glitch or was there some update I'm unaware of?

Even if i go to analytics, there's no tab to enter scores.

Hey 7sagers,

since two days ago all of a sudden I cannot use the small gray button that looks like a magnifier underneath "Question QuickView" besides the question number to see the question again after I score a PT. I use that for all the questions I got wrong, just to reread the stimulus and think through it before looking at the correct answer, so this problem has caused a lot of inconvenience. I tried clearing cache but the problem is still there. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? This happened around the same time when the new functions like "printable", "convert" and "delete" (in red), and I have never had any problem with seeing the stimulus again using that small gray button before. Can anyone help me to fix this? Since I don't want to know which answer is correct, it's been really painful to have go back and forth to see just the stimulus.

Thanks!

I'm trying to begin the LG foolproofing, and I've seen a bunch of mentions about the LG Bundle. I know it has been taken down, but I have access to the PT's so was thinking of making a custom set to replicate the questions.

However, are there any specific questions / PT's that come later that you all think would be well-worth adding to the first 35 PTs to foolproof? Or should this suffice for now.

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

I have the LSAT ultimate+ package and just finished the core curriculum. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the materials I have to work with. I know I should foolproof the LG bundle, but after that how do I best utilize all the practice tests I have? Which tests should I use for taking whole practice tests? And which number tests should I use to drill timed or untimed sections?

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in Summer 2020 (most likely in July) which gives me around 9 months of study time.

Thanks for your help!

My plan is this:

Make a Google Calendar where I log the times I studied that day, as well as a brief description of the key points.

I would love someone to do this with me. Studying alone has been so miserably isolating. This would be a great, non-intrusive way to look at what each other are working on and reach out if we see some extended lapses in studying.

Would love everyone's input and help! I have taken the lsat twice, 148 first, and 153 second. My cum gpa is 3.1, while my major gpa was 3.6. I got into Rutgers and wait-listed at Northeastern last cycle, denied from schools in top 20. I have a strong record of public interest work at a public defenders office, where I've worked since college. Do I reapply early before December (if it would help my chances), improving everything but my LSAT, or wait to January, take the LSAT, and apply at the final deadline (worried with my numbers that this would hurt me)? I work fulltime and need to ensure I have the enough study time to improve over 5 points, and hopefully score in the 160s. Goal schools are BC/BU. Please help!

I am going over the LR flow chart. Step 0 is to idenify the stem, step 1 is read the stimulus, step 2 is asking is there an argument...my question is this... once i complete step 1 and identify the task shouldnt that tell me if an arguement is going to be there? For example: weaken/strengthen/ main point/ etc pretty much anything that is not strongly supported or inference questions are going to be arguements. So if the stem is a MSS or Infernece then i can eliminate step 2, right? Ive never seen a MBT or MSS with a real argument, but then again i havent seen all questions.

As I am submitting applications, I've been reading and re-reading my essays. I read somewhere about a text to speech app that will read aloud your essays. It has helped me enormously. What my eye reads and what my ear hears is different. I use an app called SpeakLine. It has caught minor but significant errors (eg. statue vs. statute). Just letting you guys know!

So I just got 7Sage, however I've been studying for the LSAT for a few months now off and on. I have taken probably ~17 PTs (most of them being pre PT35) and gone through the powerscore Logic Games book as well the Logical reasoning book (didn't find that helpful).

My question is should I put my Practice Tests on hold until I've completed the Core Curriculum? I've only gone through a few units of it so far, but I'm already changing my strategies and seeing new ways to tackle problems.

It seems like it would be a waste to use some of my practice tests before being as ready as I can be from a strategies stand point.

Any input would be appreciated, Thanks!

Have only taken 1 PT in the 80s. Have taken some in the 70s and they seem slightly harder than the 60s and before that. Is there a difference between 70s and 80s, though?

I just did a question today where usually = most.

e.g. "Kate usually buy juice on Wednesday" --- Wednesday most buy juice

Can I always translate usually to most? Was this mentioned in the CC?

Hi. because PT 88 LG was so tough, i decided to have every best explanation available possible for obtaining

best possible understanding.

so i bought starter pack (the only one I can afford) plus PT 88 extension last month

BEFORE JY made big announcement of 7 Sage cannot no longer offer such services of LG videos.

but the 7 Sage policy is after November 15, all 7-sage LG videos will be gone unless premium or higher paid users.

would i able to see 7 sage official video explanations at all for LG of PT EXTENSIONS of PT 88 solutions prior to November 15th?

also, what happens to those people who bought starter pack like my situation, who bought before JY made an announcement with extension of each Prep Test? would LG for purchased PT Extensions such as PT 87 or 86 will be available?

LSAC said that they would allow test takers to adjust the tablet stand at any angle except straight up(which I think is 90 degrees). Previously you could only tilt it 30 degrees. They made this change to better help avoid glare.

Was your experience In October where you could adjust the tablet stand at any angle? Was that more helpful in avoiding glare? Thanks

Has anyone else had technical issues with the highlight function and text size/wrapping when taking PTs using the Digital Tester lately? The Digitial Tester used to work flawlessly for me, but about the time my iPad Air (3rd Gen.) updated to iOS13, I started having the following issues:

  • I can select the highlight and underline tools, but when I try to highlight/underline actual text, nothing happens.
  • The text for stimuli and and question stems/answer choices in LR often appear as different sizes regardless of what text size I've selected (e.g., extra small for stimulus but medium for stem/answers).
  • For longer answer choices, the last few words in a line will often wrap down to the next line and then back up repeatedly--this makes it very difficult to read.
  • For reference, I am using an iPad Air (3rd Gen.) running iOS 13.1.3. I've tried running the Tester on both Safari and Chrome, but it doesn't make a difference. Likewise, force refreshing and clearing the browser's cache didn't help either. Again, the Tester used to work flawlessly and the only thing I can really think of that might have changes on my end was a software update. Aside from that, I am completely stumped, so I am curious to know if anyone has found a work-around for this problem (aside from using another device).
