I took the August LSAT and received a score back today lower than was hoped or expected. I’m registered for October as well and I know I can do so much better than I did. Should I keep my score so law schools can see the progress made or is it better not to report it so that they don’t judge me based off that score?

Hi all! I followed through and made a discord for a study group for those of us taking the Nov 2024 LSAT. Feel free to join here! https://discord.gg/Rv9dz8VC

Hi everyone,

I'm currently scoring around the 170 area in PTs, and I'm trying to come up with ways to improve. I think the biggest issue is a mix of silly mistakes + getting wrong on the tough questions for LR. I've been taking a PT roughly every week and have been BR-ing and reviewing thoroughly. I was wondering if anyone who was in a similar position found any drilling strategies or study strategies in general effective for improving from 170 onward. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, I just took my August LSAT and I like my score, however, I will be taking it again in October. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on when is a good deadline to have my applications in by.

I also know that some people are offered fee waivers to apply to specific schools by those schools. Is there anything people do in particular to be offered those?

Sometimes in flaw questions, I realize that the flaw is an incorrect negation (e.g. a --> b, ~a-->~b), however the answer choice will not explicitly say "incorrect negation"

Is one regular way of describing the conditional flaw of "incorrect negation" that "the argument assumes that the only way to get to 'b' is 'a'" or "fails to see that a is not the only condition to get to 'b'?"

I'm trying to see if i properly understand PT 49 - s4 #23

Hi, aiming to score 165-170 on the LSAT this October, looking for people to join a group me with me as we can help each other achieve our goals and work on drills together!

I'm writing about a very niche topic, and I'm including a short background paragraph in my essay. Do I need to/should I include a citation for this information? My gut is saying no, but if it's information that didn't come directly from me I don't want to end up plagiarizing.

Do you use the highlighter tool in the digital tester? Do you always use the same colors to highlight premises and conclusions? If so, then boy is this the poll for you!

We're working on a new feature for our explanation pages, and your input will help us make it better for you. Please respond to the poll, the comments, or both.

Bonus question for the comments: what do you highlight?

Scores from August 2024 were released and I am really disappointed. I scored a 163. My PT scores range from 165-170, the average being 167. I am super bummed about scoring that low. I felt that my nerves were under control on test day and when I was finished with the test I felt confident I had done well. This is a major blow to my confidence and I am not sure how to proceed other than to try again in October.

Any advice? Anyone have a similar experience? Does anyone know if there is a way to review the official test to see what I got wrong?

how did we all do- better than pts or lower? I got a 168 my highest/normal pts are 170-171 but overall I'm pretty happy. Any advice on whether I should retake it in October- I'm pretty close to my goal and I had a lot of nerves on test day. Not sure I want to keep studying though

Hi all,

I've been struggling a little more on Necessary Assumption questions. I am doing great on Sufficient Assumption, though!

For N.A., I understand the stimulus but when I go into the answer choices I can't figure out which is the N.A. or which ones to take out. I am usually able to remove 1-2, but am left with 3 that I struggle removing. I even do the negation and am still unable to figure it out from the remaining 3.

Are there any tips that have helped anyone on how to find the N.A.?

Let me know!!

I started studying 2 days ago and I am looking for tips on how to maximize my chances of studying correctly.

"If you were to start over what would you do differently, and why?"

Was stuck between D and E, but decided to go with answer choice E.

Someone please explain why E is wrong

­In the course of his reading, George Orwell probably encountered certain storytelling conventions over and over again, and these are the devices he would have most likely used in his work. That is why it does not follow that, even though his 1984 resembles other books of its

futuristic genre, Orwell read those books; it is possible that he and the other authors were simply drawing on the same body of literary conventions.

(D) A recent film that involves car chases, explosions, and clever villains is not necessarily directly influenced by other films of the action genre.

(E) A historical romance novel does not fit into its literary genre unless it employs certain kinds of conventions.

Hi everyone,

The whole time I’ve been studying for the LSAT, I was under the impression that once my accuracy was good, my speed in answering questions would just fall into place. My blind reviews and untimed practice tests have increased to the 174-177 range, but my practice test scores are stuck in the 164-169 range! I feel like I understand the material decently now, but that I’m stagnant in my actual test performance.

I’m super frustrated and I’m wondering if maybe I’m just too inherently slow, which is super demoralizing. Has anyone else faced this issue?

I tried to restart my computer, clean website cookies, log out...etc and this problem still exists. Also I noticed on some questions I've taken before, the explanation link shown me the length of time spent on that Q from the last time I took it and is not up-to-date. Not sure if it's my account problem only or not, badly need these insightful comments back...

I see people say they "drill sections" but it doesn't even look like 7Sage has the option of drilling an entire section without actually opening up a whole test. How would I drill, for example, an LR section from an actual test? How do you (person reading this) do it? I get that there are filters on the Practice > Drills but I don't want just random questions with tags, I want to drill a legit section for a test to make sure I don't muddy up a bunch of tests if that makes sense.

anyone interested in reviewing each other's personal statements, resumes, essays etc.? May be a good way to get ideas and also learn about schools you did not consider!

I'm taking the September LSAT, and at this point in my studying I'm just starting to feel a little paralyzed. I'm not sure where to focus my energy during the last couple of weeks, and I want to make sure I'm not burning myself out or trying to cram too much. Does anyone have advice on how they prepared in the direct leadup to their exams?

I was looking at the difference between version 1 and version 2 of the curriculum. Both versions look very different in terms of how LR and reading comp is studied. Should I use version 2 to study? I have been using version 1 to study so far.

For RC - question stem, it has "WSE" as an option, but when I hover over it, "WSE" is the only thing that's offered. "PorG" says "principle or generalization" when I hover over it. TIA!

what is the best level to practice on to fully prepare for the lsat? I have been using the medium level and I am taking the test in September.

Hi everyone, I was thinking of creating an LSAT studying Discord channel for all who are interested and are planning to take the LSAT some time between August and December 2024. Was thinking we could make specific channels based on LR vs RC, advanced vs beginner, etc. Let me know if you have interest by emailing me (or DMing).

When reviewing LR questions I got wrong, I like to use the wrong answer template to help me review and identify why I chose the wrong answer and why the correct answer is wrong.

But I never know what to write for the part of the wrong answer template that asks, "How do I change my process to do better in the future".

What would be an example of a concrete lesson or feedback to oneself that someone can write in for this part of the template? I usually write vague feedback. For example on one of the questions I was reviewing I wrote, "pay attention to sufficiency/necessity confusion". But I don't think that's concrete enough.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Any active August 2024 LSAT study groups out there? I'm currently scoring in the mid-170s and think I could benefit from reviewing questions with others.

How do you all feel about the bubble charts of question tags on the Analytics page? Do you look at them? Ignore them? How do you use them compared to the table below? What information, if any, do they clarify for you?

Please share! Your feedback will help us improve.
