On a PT has anyone routinely done their first LR section then gone backwards (start with the last question) if the next section is LR? My thinking is that you are already in that 'curve breaker' mode so you just maintain it rather than going back to easier questions, then ramping up again. I have a bad habit of not letting go of a question then rushing the clock at the end. So if I were to do this (yes, I should correct the issue of letting go) I would be rushing easier questions with maybe a higher probability of getting them right?

BR Score Jump

Hi! I will be taking the August LSAT in a few weeks. It is the first LSAT I will take. I took my first Practice Test today and received a timed score of 149; however, on my BR I received a 169. Has anyone else had this situation? If so, what tips do you have for bridging this gap?

Making Silly Mistakes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to send this out into the void in case others are in a similar boat. A consistent issue (?) I've been having is making the occasional, but still annoyingly frequent, silly mistake. Most often, I've identified my mistake is not "zooming out" on an easy question and seeing that the answer is so incredibly obvious, and instead getting lost in the sauce of critical thinking. Also, I'll occasionally identify the wrong conclusion in a stimulus and then realize during review that I was incorrect, but it was just a goof rather than fundamental misunderstanding.

I'm a high scorer and would like to focus my energy on the handful of questions I find actually hard, rather than keep getting disappointed by my silly mistakes/overthinking. Does anyone have any tips or drill recs to help me from overthinking questions and getting them wrong?

Thanks!

Purchasable AI Credits

Well, due to an extra boring stint of time at work pre holiday and a rainy Fourth of July weekend I managed to run myself out of my usage limit on the AI. I know there are differences in the plans for AI usage limits. The thing is there is no descriptive qualities to these limits. Will I go from Live to coach and only get to have three more question sets from it? There is also no other appeal to the coach plan for me being I don't have the time or inclination to meet with real coaches over zoom anyways (I assume other people are in the same boat). Purchasable AI time along with the students overall realization that the AI is quite adept at writing questions that they haven't seen before seems like a very profitable area to expand into. I know I would purchase them as I have spoken with the AI until it has gamified writing new questions and prompts for me daily then breaks down where my reasoning for every answer is correct or incorrect. I don't know if this will be something that you guys decide to do but it would be nice and it would probably be a needed advent to described how the ai timing is being purchased (text amount, message amount, other) and how much you really get with each plan to make it obvious as the whether it is a worthwhile upgrade. Hope this at least brings up some conversation about it.

Hello!

I'm someone looking to take the LSAT in the September or October Administration and am aiming for a 175+ LSAT score. I'm trying to dedicate a few hours everyday to preparing for the LSAT but am not used to studying outside of an academic setting or without friends to motivate each other. I live in the Greater Milwaukee Area in Wisconsin and am comfortable meeting up occasionally to study in-person, but realistically am looking for friends to motivate each other and/or study with over something like Discord. My time zone is CST but please feel free to reach out from wherever as my availability is flexible!

hi guys! i took the june lsat and was satisfied with my score, but i literally want 2 points higher, as that can make or break some admissions, and it's just not happening. obviously my blind review can be 4 points higher after a pt, so i have understanding, but i still am stuck.

any insightful tips, whether serious or just a quick life hack that worked, that will help me out? i want to be done! i've only gotten that target score once in april on a pt.

Hi, first of all I wanted to say the 7sage games are awesome and there's so much variety it's incredible. However I noticed there's no game for argument part and I think it would be a very useful game. Something along the lines of in the first few levels it's just finding the conclusion. As difficulty progresses so do the task of finding other parts like find a concession, premise, sub-conclusion or other's argument. I feel like this game would be really awesome and help with many different kind of question types such as Main Conclusion, Argument Part, SA, NA and so on. I hope this suggestion helps in some way and I look forward to seeing a game like that sometime.

I had a conversation recently with a lawyer that I know, who recommended that I take the lsat in April or June instead of February. He told me that he remembers that being the time of year where they experiment a little with the questions? Can anyone confirm or deny this? Is it the kind of thing where I would be doomed if I took the test in February lol

First section in months

Hey y'all! Am I justified in feeling a little excited/proud about this score?

For context, I'm active duty military, and I basically just study/watch a video or two/do a couple questions for a few minutes to an hour each evening due to the demands of work. I try to tackle more questions on the weekends but I honestly get a little burnt out. I've been doing this for the last few months, but I plan to ramp up my studying over the next year, as I aim to take the LSAT next June/July. This was my first section since I started the program around last December.

Late starters

Hi!

I’m currently 30 and my diagnostic 154, im thinking of signing the LSAT in November. I study but go back in forth with being worried about starting so much later in age.

Any late(r) starters here?? What do you do to keep yourself motivated?

Hi everyone! I'm looking for an LSAT study buddy who's interested in studying together on a regular basis.

I live in East Harlem, and my office is on the Upper East Side (though I don't have to go in every day, or I can head there after lunch). I'm hoping to find someone who can meet in the mornings for 2–3 hours of focused study, ideally every weekday.

We could study at a library or a coffee shop on the Upper East Side or in Midtown. The goal is simply to keep each other accountable and stay focused.

If you're interested, please feel free to text me at 347-278-6689.

Balancing LSAT Study and Application Prep

Hi everyone! I made a post about this a couple of weeks ago, and I can confidently say I haven't been balancing things well. :(

I feel like I'm not making enough progress on either my LSAT prep or my applications.

I've definitely been spending much less time studying for the LSAT than I should, and I'm getting really nervous since my August LSAT is only four weeks away.

At the same time, all I've done for my applications is put together a school list. I still haven't figured out my personal statement outline.

Does anyone have advice on how to balance both? I want to stay disciplined and make solid progress on both my LSAT and my applications, but it honestly feels overwhelming. How are you all managing your time?

Progress

I have been at this now hardcore for a number of months, for the first time in a long time I feel like I am actually making progress growing towards my goal. Rather than testing at 150, I am seeing 155 with my blind reviews into the 60s.

Its humbling to think that time is the greatest teacher and that progress comes to those who are consistent. One day it will all make sense to you and fall in God's plan. Trust the process, embrace the journey, and never give up. While you may not see the tangibles from day to day, month to month however is where the progress shines through.

To everyone, keep up the great work!

😖 Frustrated

ADHD and studying

I am taking the August LSAT and despite beginning my studying half a year ago I am still stuck in the 150s and fluctuating between 150-156ish. The biggest problem I have is that I cannot sit still and focus for long periods of time. Has anyone else with ADHD found a way to deal with this?

Would greatly appreciate any advice!

Gpa

i have the worst gpa on the planet lol, and I’m not the greatest standardized test taker. Im shooting for 176-180 because my GPA is that bad. Idk when to take the test but i hope that i can get the right score and get used to this test because whew, im nowhere near my goal right now. Im depending on this.

I am retaking the LSAT in October, and figured I would just apply in october/november once my score was released. My question is should I apply when apps open in September with my old score and then have CAS automatically update it, or do future test date and have the score updated once it is in.
