Parallel questions have been a huge flaw of mine in PT and drilling, does any1 have any tips that will help me not be utterly confused?

I am aiming for a 165 on August/September LSAT, I've been sitting in the low 160s, but have made massive gains in LR. For example, I just had my best LR section today, scoring a -2 on a tough (3 star difficulty) PT section. To couple that, I've been trying to get my LR down to the -3/4 range to give myself more wiggle room on RC. For some reason RC has just not improved, if any maybe become worse. I just did a 15 question drill, on 2 tough art/spotlight passages (my 2 worst by far) and got 8/15 wrong. (Lol) What am I doing wrong with RC??? I feel like a lot of the time I read the tough passages I kind of just have no idea what the fuck is going on, get to the questions and try to fill in the gaps with my wrong ACs, and kinda exacerbate my passage ignorance.

Hard LR questions

Hi all! I’ve noticed a pattern while studying LR — it’s not specific question types that trip me up, but rather the hardest questions at the end of the section (usually the last 6–8). I tend to get those wrong, even when I do really well on the earlier ones. Any tips on how to get better at those tough, high-difficulty questions? Would love to hear what worked for you.

Hi all, I applied to UVA Law via their binding decision as of a few days ago. I am also currently registered to sit for the February 2018 LSAT. Currently my numbers are 167/3.67 which I know is a stretch for UVA.

I am currently stuck on what to do because UVA Adcomm wants me to make a decision on whether I want them to render a decision on my current application within 15 business days of when I submitted or wait until after I receive the Feb LSAT score. Based on the December 2017 LSAT score release starting the trend of beating the score release date I would imagine the Feb LSAT score would come out last week of February. Just to paint a more clear picture, I have been averaging around a 171 on my 30 most recent PTs but I have taken the LSAT twice now and have been unable to translate it on the test (scoring a 167 twice). So I think realistically I could improve my score to a 168/169 but not very confident to get any higher than that.

What would you guys do?

  • Have UVA make a decision on my current stats by early February.
  • or

  • Wait until the February LSAT score to have the final decision made which is extremely late in the cycle.

    As the title implies, I don't really train RC that much, I've been focusing on LR in order to get my average down to ~ -5, and hopefully -4, before August test, but I rally haven't drilled RC much, maybe 1 passage for every 40 LR questions. RC is much harder to improve on for some, and I was so tunnel visioned on trying to improve my LR, that I think my RC average of ~6.5 has only consistently gotten worse, with my worst preformance being over these past 2 days, when drilling a couple of spotlight 1 star passages I've gotten 4 or 5 wrong on each. Maybe Im just really bad at spotlight, as it is my worst passage, but I keep being shocked by the results of the passage, seeing ive gotten almost all wrong on a 1 star. Any tips?

    I would prefer to use my PC to take the remote test as opposed to my tiny laptop, but my PC sometimes freezes, forcing me to shut it off and restart. This doesn't happen often, but it happens enough to make me a bit worried.

    My question is how strict they are with tech issues. If my PC decides to freeze during the test, can I restart and continue like normal without deduction in time? Or do I get penalized?

    Study Groupchat!

    Hi! I'm taking the August and September test and am stuck in the jump between the 160s to the 170s. I would love to make a group chat of people to help keep each other motivated and on track, talk about tough questions, or just talk LSAT in general. I feel like I'm trying to become fluent in a new language (LSAT Language) and have no one to speak it with lol. If you feel u want a group like that too, lmk!

    LSAT Proctor Question

    Will there be an actual human, at least at the beginning, of my LSAT? I had an issue with the Argumentative Writing where I couldn't get my external camera to focus on my ID, but wasn't able to switch to my internal camera (which has better focus for reading IDs) because if I tried to switch the recording stopped. I wasn't worried about it though, because the writing sample is very low stakes, and they just asked me to email them a picture of the same ID I was trying to scan. But I do not want to make the same mistake on the real test day and have my score get canceled or something. Maybe I'll try holding a picture on my phone of my ID to help the camera, as some people have said that helped them get a picture; but just wondering if there's someone I will be able to converse or that will actually be watching me during the test.

    Hey guys! I need some help! So, I've taken the LSAT in June and officially scored a 164, but on my PTs I averaged mid to high 160's. I have only ever broken 170 on a blind review PT (I got a 173). Other than that, I struggle to break out of the 160's. I am registered for the August LSAT; how do I break 170's by then?

    Section Order/Frequency of LR vs RC experimental section

    I have 2 questions regarding the order of the sections on the LSAT regarding LR vs RC.

    First, is an experimental LR as equally likely to occur as an experimental RC? Meaning is 3 LR, 1 RC as common as 2 LR, 2 RC?

    Second, if there are two LRs and two RCs, is a certain order predominant:

    Ex: LR-RC-LR-RC or RC-LR-LR-RC

    I'm asking because I'm curious if its possible to get LR-LR-RC-RC which seems especially brutal! Thanks.

    Blind Review

    Today only, my blind review keeps telling me that I got 0% even when I get the answer correct. Additionally, this isn't an issue with time. On a few I've been over time, however, most I have been under time and it continues to happen. What is going on

    Blind Review

    What is the purpose of a Blind Review? Why do they suggest that I review the right questions? Example- They circle 5/6 answers for Blind Review. I assumed I got those questions wrong. So I went against my better judgment and chose other answers that I knew intuitively were wrong. Only to get them wrong in the blind review. Am I missing something?

    Working at a law firm

    Hello all! Another question...

    Recently I applied to work at a law firm for next summer as an undergraduate student. The lawyer I may be working for is a family friend (we don't know him that well anymore though). Anyways, my question is, as an undergrad, will he want me to show him an official transcript of my marks and everything? During the interview he just asked me how my grades were and I told him and he sort of just left it at that...he has to discuss it with his partner to make sure he's cool with hiring me before he gives me the green light :) I know as an actual law student they want to see your official grades but since I'm not going to be articling and basically just doing jobs there that the lawyers themselves don't have time to do (like reading through some things to figure out what's junk and what's not) do you think I may not even need to show them my official grades? I'm actually wondering because when he asked me I got nervous for some reason (it was early in the interview so I wasn't settled in yet) and I kinda blurted out that I had a couple more A+'s than I actually got in my first year lol and I didn't bother correcting myself at the risk of sounding dumb (Insert laughing emoji).

    LawHub Advantage

    Hello,

    When I log in, it says that my LawHub Advantage subscription is expiring in a couple of days. Does anyone know if I need to renew it to continue using 7Sage? Thank you! :)

    Can someone explain the difference--if there is one in fact--between causal and conditional relationships/statements? Seemingly, A causing B is the same as saying if you have A, then you must have B. In effect, the sufficient condition is the cause for the necessary condition; without it, the necessary condition wouldn't exist. Therefore, a conditional relationship is a valid causal relationship. There are no competing hypothesis nor potential for the cause and effect to be swapped with each other.

    Not sure if the above is true. Please comment with your observations.

    Would it be possible to add an option to remove the transparency effect on the "your score" number after submitting a drill?

    I just noticed that you can vaguely make out your score despite the transparent effect, which is really grating, as if I can see that it's 100%, I know that all of my answers were right; if I don't see a 100%, I know that one of my answers were wrong; regardless, both options undermines the uncertainty that's supposed to help me think through the questions more carefully during blind review before checking the correct answers.

    It would be really helpful if there was an option to completely hide or mask the score until we press the intentionally reveal button.

    A report comparing my progress to that of other users on the site would be helpful for understanding where I stand on the learning curve. The expected accuracy and percentage in the Priority by Tag analytics are a great addition.

    In the example below, the average number of questions per test is calculated by dividing the total number of questions (29) by the number of tests taken (4), which should result in 7.25 questions per test.

    Getting a 170+ on the LSAT doesn’t require superhuman intelligence—it requires learning how to think like someone who consistently scores in the 170s. In this episode, we break down what that mindset looks like: slower, more methodical, and laser-focused on clarity. If you’ve ever felt like you're rushing through sections, second-guessing yourself, or missing the forest for the trees, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about how the "170 Brain" approaches Reading Comp, Logical Reasoning, and even test-day decisions. It's not about being perfect—it's about thinking differently.
