I am not sure how and when to drill. Do I drill after each section? If so, how do I know which types of questions to do? I’m still on foundations and haven’t started LR yet, FYI.

socal study group

hi everyone! is anyone interested in starting a study group? I'm taking the test in October but I want to get as much study time as I can. I'm in the Los Angeles county area!

The question below made me confused because I thought the conditional statement "the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands" was a fact because there is a Sufficent Condition that triggers a Necessary Condition there for it must be true. So when I learned A was wrong, I was confused because the conditional statement created a "rule." So, I need help. How do you disprove a conditional?

THE QUESTION:

Recently discovered prehistoric rock paintings on small islands off the northern coast of Norway have archaeologists puzzled. The predominant theory about northern cave paintings was that they were largely a description of the current diets of the painters. This theory cannot be right, because the painters must have needed to eat the sea animals populating the waters north of Norway if they were to make the long journey to and from the islands, and there are no paintings that unambiguously depict such creatures.

Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument against the predominant theory about northern cave paintings EXCEPT:

A. Once on these islands, the cave painters hunted and ate land animals.

B. Parts of the cave paintings on the islands did not survive the centuries.

C. The cave paintings that were discovered on the islands depicted many land animals.

D. Those who did the cave paintings that were discovered on the islands had unusually advanced techniques of preserving meats.

E. The cave paintings on the islands were done by the original inhabitants of the islands who ate the meat of land animals

I've been making my way through the syllabus but not quite sure how much I should be extending my study outside the questions and focused drills. Should I be aiming for a PT once a week and focusing my efforts especially on the question types I know? Should I just be taking drills with the questions types I've covered? What has been a good strategy for other people?

Zoom Study Buddies?

Wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a review session of questions they get wrong, Maybe once a week on a weekend morning? Sept. test date and getting a little discouraged! Im in Cali!

i have been blind reviewing at 162 but averaging around 153 for my actual exam, I'm honestly super discouraged, because I know I can do better in the 'real' test but the time conditions feel so heavy. I'm suppose to take my test in august before my senior year starts, and since I'm aiming for 2026 law school my applications need to be in relatively soon. if anyone has any advice or encouragement I'd be very grateful. Im not giving up, I just need some more hope.

😖 Frustrated

Need Advice

Hey everyone,

Im feeling a bit lost. I've been studying the lsat for a while now, and no matter how many attempts I always seem to get around 10 questions incorrect in a section of 25 questions (both timed and untimed). Does anyone have advice on how to break out of this plateau?

Thank you in advance!

creating a shared drill

hi 7sage admin! I went to create a custom drill set that I could then share with a study group but when I share with them the drill set with the custom tags it randomizes the questions. Is there a way to create a custom drill set that locks the questions in for a study group so we can complete the same questions and discuss later?

Hey everyone,

This is my third time tackling the LSAT, and I’m looking for a study group or accountability partners who are aiming for the October or November exam. I’d prefer to study on weekends (ideally in the mornings) and around 8 PM on weekdays for about an hour.

I currently work full-time and am looking for a group of girls who are aiming for a score in the 160s. My score has been stuck between 139 and 142, and I’m really trying to break out of that range. I plan to apply for the Fall 2026 cycle.

If anyone’s interested, let me know! I’m based in the Los Angeles area, so if you're local and want to meet up in person to study, I’m totally open to that too 😊

Also, no offense to the guys, but I’d really prefer to connect with other girls. It would be nice to have girlfriends who understand what it's like to study for the LSAT — unfortunately, all of my current friends are either pre-med or going into social media. 😅

Hope to hear from some of you soon!

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?

Jumping back into studying

Hi everyone.

I am taking the September 2025 LSAT. I took the January one after studying for about 6 months, but would like to raise my score. I took a bit of a hiatus on studying until April/May due to work. I've been trying to get back into my studying groove but I am having trouble on where to start, since I know the basics but kind of forget some things as well. Any advice on how to be productively studying?

the impression I get is that the majority of people struggle more with RC than LR, but I'm the opposite. I wanted to know if anyone who is in a similar situation had any tips? I often find the advice of "just drill" to be not super helpful because 1) I'm already doing that and am looking for more specific guidance and 2) it often comes from a person who doesn't struggle with LR in the same way so just drilling might be a good enough solution for them. Thoughts?

How do you go about reviewing your wrong answer journal? When do you return to those questions? I'm trying to keep up with it, but I'm not sure what I'm really supposed to do with them when after I've moved on. There are so many more drills, lessons, tests, and questions to do, when do you take time to go back through them?

Will proctored PTs be making a comeback any time soon (maybe before the August exam)? I've discovered that a significant point of discomfort for me during the real test vs. PTs comes from the feeling of being watched remotely, an experience that's missing during self-administered PTs. It would be very helpful if these were offered again!
