Like many, this is one of my weaker points. It's been a focus throughout my studies and I feel like I'm finally understanding and getting more accurate! I know how to recognize SA vs NA questions, but it's not making sense to me how these questions differ in the answer. For example: "Which one of the following is an assumption necessary for the critic's conclusion to be properly drawn?" I am able to bridge the gap and connect the points, which is getting me the correct answers, but I don't see the answer as a necessary. An example is PT 126 Section 1. The answer is connecting B to C. Then the conclusion is C to D. So how is B to C a necessary vs sufficient assumption? Maybe I'm getting too in my head about it and the focus on finding and filling the gap is all I need to really think about. But open to any thoughts! And not able to pay a tutor $1000 to explain this question to me 🤪

I’ve done a few prep tests, and my actual score usually ranges from 150 to 160. My blind review score, though, is around 170. When I do timed drills, especially for four-star and five-star questions, I usually get only a few right or most of them wrong. But during blind review, I get almost all of them right, or sometimes just one wrong.

At this point, I know my issue isn’t comprehension. It’s timing.

If I focus on finishing within the time limit, I make dumb mistakes. But if I focus on accuracy, I often spend too much time on certain questions. Sometimes it’s because I’m unsure about an answer that’s actually correct, and other times I just can’t finish all the questions.

Do you have any strategies? I understand that comprehension is the key to improving speed, and I’ve been working on that for months. I see improvement only in blind review or with the easier one- and two-star ones and no major improvement in how quickly I can get through the harder questions during timed sections.

Is anyone looking for accountability partners/creating a study group? I am planning to take the October and November LSAT and would love to network/work with others to prepare

Hey guys, if anyone is taking the LSAT soon and is from Ottawa, let me know and we can study together. We locked in.

Hi!

After improving drilling accuracy for a particular question type, would it be more effective to then work on speed (and thus mastery), or to move on to another question type?

My thoughts are that working on speed will necessarily take much more time, perhaps disproportionately to the diversity of question types and skills a prep test actually requires, but it may lead to better translation from drilling to prep test scores.

(This post is about the "Babies who can hear and have hearing parents" stimulus) I was doing a "contradiction" challenge question and overlooked the correct answer because it said "depends primarily on", which the stimulus didn't directly say anything against. I didn't preclude the possibility that the stimulus used the example of deaf babies as more of an exception. I initially chose E, which I noticed didn't feel correct, and I now understand why it's wrong. My problem is that answer choice B still doesn't seem right to me. It just feels like the best out of a bad bunch. Could someone help explain this to me, please?

Hi everyone! I have made some progress on my LSAT score. I have been scoring low 160 and then high 160 or over 170 in the blind review. Any tips on closing this gap? The fundamentals are there it seems but the timing gets me I guess.

I am a visual learner and I am really struggling on how to study for the LSAT. I'm usually a flashcard person but I've been told that's not a good way to study for this test. I have looked on youtube, tiktok, chatgbt, I can't find any advice on how to approach studying for the LSAT as a visual learner. Anyone have any tips or tricks?

Dropping the link to the new East-Coast co-working/accountability discord. We have some drop-in blocks on the server currently for 9:30A and 6:00P every weekday for anyone that wants to drop in for a while for accountability or co-work (these times can be adjusted if there are blocks that work better for more people). Feel free to drop by! https://discord.gg/yERJ8qWx

Anyone studying the LSAT in Columbus, OH? Would love to meet up and study some time. Feel free to DM me.

Hey guys!! I'm looking for a study buddy/ accountability partner. I'm taking the LSAT in October and trying to apply to TTU law. I hope all of you guys get a 175 or higher!!!

Anyone in Texas want to start a study group??

I know on the old site there is the option to set your own study schedule, but it's not currently available on here! I'm just going back and forth between the old and new site to mark off my completed curriculm sections, but is there any plans for the feature to be added here soon?

Hi,

I'm located in MD. I just started studying for the LSAT and would love to start a virtual study group if anyone is interested.

Thanks

Hi! I'm planning to take the October LSAT and would love a Boston-based study buddy if you're out there. Feel free to PM me if you're interested.

Hello, I am currently scoring 161 and have tried to join study groups in the past but unfortunately, they have become inactive or study at different times than I do. I study in the evenings east coast time starting at 4 pm ET to nighttime. Is there anyone else who would like to study together in the evenings and keep each other accountable? We could do it over zoom, discord or even WhatsApp. If anyone is interested, please DM me.

Hey all! I'm preparing for my LSAT in October and would like to build a study group. I'm based in SE PA, near York, Harrisburg, and Lancaster. Anyone interested?

Hi! My question is about the Question #5 on Skill Builder - Negation 3 in the Foundations module----

The original sentence is: "Chess is the most appropriate analogy to reporting on political campaigns."

I understand that a proper negation would be something like: "Either something else is a more appropriate analogy for reporting on political campaigns than chess is, or something else ties with chess as being the most appropriate." or "It is not the case that chess is the most appropriate analogy to reporting on political campaigns."

However, I was wondering why wouldn't a simpler negation like "Chess is not the most appropriate analogy to reporting on political campaigns" be sufficient? Is there a meaningful difference between the two, or do they functionally mean the same thing in formal logic?

Thank you so much for your time and help!

Are the analytics that prioritize by tags made only from data from PTs, not including drills or sections? I think it would be nice to see the analytics that include how I did at least in timed sections if not timed drills in addition to the PTs cause I don't really want to be taking a PT all the time to see which areas I should try to focus more of my attention on.

If these are really only made with solely PT data, I feel like the lack of PTs I've taken so far is skewing my analytics. However, I don't want to be blazing through all of the PTs and burn out mentally to get a better sample of how I'm doing.

The analytics feature is super cool and useful for sure, but I think it would be a nice feature to at least add a filter where I could toggle to add more data into these analytics with questions from drills/sections if I wanted to!

I often click on the "high priority" question types for logical reasoning, and I'll do a drill of maybe 10 "Must be true" questions, but the system doesn't include any of my drilled questions into the data for how I am performing on those questions. This leaves me a little confused about what the "personalized drilling" is doing if it is not connected to analytics. I'm using new 7sage if that helps.

I just got done taking the LSAT at an in person test center and it was so loud. I had the headphones on but the proctors sat on the other side of a glass window talking about their lives almost the entire test so loudly that I could barely think. I took the test at a center because of the horror stories I've heard of online tests. If I knew it was going to be so loud I would have just taken it at home and asked my family to get out of the house for two hours. If I file a complaint do I have a chance at getting this score canceled and getting a retake? Or am I being ridiculous here?

Hi! Have noticed a trend among some of my recent wrong answers, wondering if anyone has any insights into this. Twice in one LR drill, I got the question wrong because I was unwilling to equivocate two terms. Ex: The stimulus was talking about “a new trend in the writing of history”, and the correct AC used the term “interpretation” to mean the said new trend. Again in that same section I missed a question talking about “experience” in the stimulus, with the correct AC using the word “expertise” instead. 

The first question was a MSS, and the second a PSA… both rated as lower difficulty levels. The correct ACs were the ones I had originally been drawn to on both, but steered away from due to not wanting to falsely equivocate different terms! Any insight into this or advice would be very helpful!

These questions both came from PT127.S3, questions 3 and 15

hey there im new one here if there's an actve group on whatsapp or instagram could you please share the invite link THANK YOU
