I'm looking to meet with others who are taking the test soon ( June / August )in the Boston area. I'm located near Framingham but open to commute / zoom meetings to create a more engaging environment preparing for the LSAT. My PT's are in the high 160s and want to be around others who are inspiring to do well on their upcoming test. Besides solo study, I think it's vital to have a group who keeps each other accountable in their journey. PM / leave a message here.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a study buddy or group to join in Brooklyn NY. Studying is so lonely, the company would be nice! Plus like that can hold eachother accountable.

I live in Bedstuy, willing to travel around to diversify the study areas.

Let me know anyone who is interested :)

Trying to the August LSAT

Is there a way to do full LR or RC sections on their own, then blind review just that section without having to start a full preptest and complete the whole thing before being able to blind review? I just want to work on timing in individual sections without doing a whole PT

RC Burnout..

Hi everyone,

Hoping to connect with people who are struggling to get out of the 140s and those who've succeeded. I did a diagnostic at the beginning of May to figure out where I was, and scored 140 (138 raw). After two weeks of consistent studying doing drills and listening to modules, I did my second preptest today and scored 145. Though I am pleased with the increased score, I'm a bit frustrated because I felt the burnout during my second RC section (I had 2LR + 2RC). My eyes began to glaze over the reading and I began skimming for important parts that I may be asked to answer and ultimately got an entire section wrong, which would've had at least a 5+ increase on my overall score. How do I get around wanting to literally pass out from switching my brain from looking for evidence/flaws to reading comprehensively?

I'm going through the RC curriculum and keep reading Kevin's suggestion to try to do the low res summaries mentally due to time. Timing in RC is 100 % an issue for me. Personally, writing down the summaries has increased my RC score but I am still short on time. I just find if I don't write it down I get panicky & get lost. I find it way harder to retain without writing it down. With that being said, if its really worth trying to do it mentally, I'll try but not sure its best for me. I comprehend things best when I write them down I think. What does everyone else do? What are your reasonings behind it?

I took my first two PrepTests on LSAC before subscribing to 7Sage, but I was hoping to use the 7Sage Analytics without having to manually input each answer, especially since measurements like elapsed time would be inaccurate. Is there a way to import LSAC PT scoring into 7Sage Analytics? If so, how do I do that? Thank you in advance!

Hi! I have been drilling a bit and took a couple PTs, which have been in the 140s-mid 140s. I bought 7sage in hopes to go over the whole curriculum and really get the fundamentals down. I am hoping to get together with someone (or some people) where we can hold each other accountable and possibly meet on discord or something to review questions and PTs. I just feel like verbalizing each question and our mindset can really help us make improvement. My BR is 20 points higher than my actual PT score, so I feel like I get it, but need to practice consistently.

Little about me: I'm in PST, work, and take evening classes. Once my classes end in mid-May, I'll be able to devote my evenings to the LSAT where we can just drill/review a bunch of questions.

Please reach out to me!! My rule of thumb is that there are no dumb questions. We are learning this test together :)

Edit: Send me a friend request on discord so we can get something going!! My username is swaggerjagger02

Edit #2: THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT EVERYONE!!!!! Please add me on discord so we can get the ball rolling!!!

I'm gearing up to take the June LSAT in a few weeks, and I'm aiming in the range of 166-171. I've been consistently scoring within this range the past two months or so, and have on occasion scored above, the highest being a 175. As I mentioned, my plan is to score within my range for June (which I am fully confident I will be able to do come test day) and then really hone in my weaknesses during the summer in anticipation of taking the test again come the fall right before the application cycle. My goal score for this test would be 172+ to have a better shot at the more competitive schools on my list. If you have ever been in my position and have any advice for developing the ability to score consistently in the 172+ range, please let me know!

Hello!

I am currently progressing through the LR section and I am finding that I am understanding each section OK but I am very confused as to how to more overall identify when I am dealing with an argument versus when I am not. The causality arguments in the WSE section are also confusing me, as JY talks about how there are different kinds of them and I am also finding it hard to differentiate between an Alternative Cause Argument and the Basic One-Off Causal Argument among others. Can someone help summarize these in a way thats easy to understand?? Thanks so much!

Printing out Drill sets

Is there anyway to print out the drill sets? Reading off a computer screen doesnt allow me to engage as much as I can on a piece of paper. I find myself doing alot better on paper than on a computer.

Need help on timing

I am consistently missing the last like four questions on any section due to running out of time!!! Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. I am just starting to find an answer I like, leave it alone, move on. I am tempted to look at every answer choice carefully, but I know it's impractical. Help!!!

Hi everyone,

Looking to gauge interest in a potential Discord group for people who would consider themselves "Non-traditional" prospective law students. I'm an '18 grad, so I'm excited to meet people who are also a few years out of school, trying to get back into a study mindset. I'm thinking it would be entirely digital just to cast a wide net, so no geographical requirements or anything.

Depending on the interest, I'd love to make it a group that's focused on more than just LSAT but the application and search process as well.

Alternatively, if a group like this already exists, I'd really appreciate the tip!

Thanks :)

Bias against A and E?

I'm curious to see if anyone else has found themselves with an implicit bias against selecting answer choices A and E, particularly towards the back half of LR sections when the questions get tougher. I've found myself reading an attractive answer choice in both of those spots, and then thinking to myself "of course they'd place it there as a trap" ... sometimes it's actually worked really well, other times it obviously hasn't ...

Posting this to see if anyone else has become tripped up by the same mindset, and ultimately if anyone has any tips on how to spot those "traps" in I guess a more successful way?

How do you get past that hurdle of my gut reaction in BR being to just stick with the answer choice I chose on the first go around? I feel like I'm falling victim to confirmation bias, like when seeing my chosen answer again the second time, I'm just automatically coming up with and reaffirming the same initial (albeit wrong) reasons I thought it was correct, and then glossing over what I first thought are issues with the true correct answer. So BR, at least so far, has been really ineffective at getting any improvement in choosing the right answers.
