Diagnostic Test

Does the program have you take a diagnostic test first? Is the practice based on this score? I am new to the program and have not started it yet, but wanted to know.

PT53S1Q8

Omg I've been wracking my brain trying to think through this question, could really use some help!!

I have trouble understanding why D is correct.

I dismissed it because D claims that the two faulty studies do not support a causal finding, when the premise is based on the two study's correlational finding. The conclusion also specifically clarifies that it only applies under the assumption that "IF night lights cause nearsightedness," so even if the studies are faulty and do not support a causal finding, it doesn't hurt a conclusion that already operates under a world where night lights do cause nearsightedness.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Taking LSAT in January - really trying to break 170. I was pretty consistent in the upper 160s range, peaked at 169 for a couple tests, then decline decline decline. My most recent Prep Test was a 160 - worst I've gotten. I'm reviewing my wrong answers/reviewing content related to the types of questions I get wrong. I'm running Drills. I feel like I should be doing better but they keep getting worse. Any ideas?

For law school applications (and future bar admission), how should I go about what jobs I include? I started working at 17, and my first job I was at for really around 4 years, but I quit a couple times and came back, always on good terms and it was a normal thing at that job. There were some jobs after age 18 where I was at for one day, a couple of weeks, or just one week before realizing it wouldn't be a good fit, and I'd find other options. All retail and service jobs, and these short jobs were always outweighed by other jobs that were great experiences. I would just hate to get through law school only to get struck down by the bar for a resume issue.

Sorry if this question had already been answered. I’ve just started on 7sage and I’ve noticed the heavy emphasis on Blind review. However I have found that with BR (in drills and in the lessons) I tend to score lower or the same as my timed questions. On the Law hub library practice tests, I generally score about 2-5 wrong per PT section. After I check my answers I understand my errors, but during my own “BR” I tend to just over think and change my correct answers to incorrect ones and often don’t notice mistakes which in hindsight/during normal review are very obvious to me. I end up with a BR with a similar score or even more mistakes. So I have mostly skipped it despite the advice that it will help me improve.

So I wanted to ask if anyones run into the same problem, or what I can do to make the BR worth while (since it is so time consuming). How can I fix this pattern? Is BR just not right for me?

Who does the LSAC consider a "qualified professional"? I have a licensed professional counselor who, in the state I am in, is licensed to diagnose and treat, and her "expertise" is within my diagnoses. I'm getting ready to get everything together for accommodations, but I am so confused what they would consider.

Hi everyone,

Curious to hear how people are handling caffeine during LSAT studying and on test day. I’m taking the June LSAT (about three weeks out) and trying to figure out a routine that keeps my energy and focus steady throughout the entire test.

Quick background:

I’ve been drinking coffee for over five years, most days of the week. At the start of this year, I took a full caffeine break from January to mid-March while finishing my last quarter of school. I wanted to reset my tolerance and prove to myself I didn’t need it. Once spring break hit, I started drinking coffee again more casually, and after that, I transitioned into full-time LSAT studying and got back into a more regular caffeine habit.

Right now, I usually have one cup of coffee almost every day, and sometimes a yerba mate later in the day if I feel like I need it.

Here’s the issue:

On my first two PTs this spring, I had a medium coffee shop coffee at the start of the test. I felt great during the first half, but started to feel it wear off by the second half, and my performance noticeably dropped. I only missed one question in the first section, then missed significantly more as the test went on.

So for my most recent PT, I switched things up and drank a yerba mate during the test instead (along with a random coconut water because I like them). The yerba lasted me through the whole test and I felt like my energy stayed consistent. But weirdly, I scored lower overall. My performance was steady across sections, but not as sharp as my earlier tests.

Now I’m unsure what to do moving forward. I’m considering experimenting with matcha too, though I haven’t tried it yet for a full PT.

Obviously everyone’s body is different, but has anyone here tested out different caffeine strategies and found something that worked well for them? I’m not worried about the proctoring side of things—I’ve brought coffee in a clear bottle before and it was fine.

Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I registered for the June LSAT, but at this point, I don't feel prepared and I'm worried I won’t reach my target score. I did purchase the score preview, so I have the option to cancel after seeing my score if it doesn't go well.

Right now, I’m debating between two options:

Go ahead and take the June test, then cancel the score after preview if I think I can do better.

Reschedule to August or September, even though I understand the fee won’t be refunded.

For context, my main concern is whether a cancelled score (after using the preview) will negatively affect my law school applications. Would it look bad to have a cancelled score on my record, or is it better to just push the test back now?

Would love to hear your thoughts, especially from anyone who’s been in a similar situation. Thanks!

RC Help!!!! Endurance!!

Hello Everyone. Stick with me here while I explain. Endurance in RC (and the test as a whole) seems to be a big issue with me. When I do one RC passage at a time I seem to do very (4star passages & 160+ Questions correct) well. But when I read them back to back (full section ) I seem to loose focus and it starts becoming word salad. Im starting to see that endurance is a real issue here. How do I increase my endurance. Is there things I can do to make it to where I can sit for this whole 2.5 hour test and not get extremely fatigued!!

Any advice is greatly appreciated

Whenever I do diagram for a question, I find that I get very enveloped in it and as a result am less likely to notice the "gap" in the stimulus that needs to be connected for sufficient assumptions. Basically, I find diagramming to obscure this assumption recognition process for me. But I am not sure if this is because I am not diagramming correctly, if diagramming becomes less "involved" over time as you do more of it, or if my brain simply interprets the question better by not diagramming?

My process basically is: find assumption, then find the answer choice that connects the two "unconnected" ideas, then just confirm that the necessary and sufficient positioning isn't making some sort of flaw (e.g. mistaking necessary for sufficient or vice versa).

I'm studying for a 167+, so any advice on how to reduce my margin of error for this process would be appreciated! Last PT was a 161 (which was the official Jan LSAT).

Answer Journal for LR

Hey everyone, so I've recently started trying the whole answer journal thing and I wasn't entirely sure as to what the most effective process is to go about this. I'm curious as to what other's are doing but my strategy right now is to write down my thoughts before I watch an explanation video and then I write down where my thinking may have been different or gone wrong during or after watching the video. Any and all feedback would be much appreciated

Hi everyone,

I’m consistently scoring around -4 per LR section, and I’ve noticed a frustrating pattern. Two of the questions I miss are usually 4–5 star difficulty so fair enough. But the other two are often 3-star or easier, and when I review them, I immediately see the correct answer and understand exactly why it’s right. I usually just shake my head and wonder how I missed it.

Timing isn’t an issue. I’ve done a lot of timed practice, feel comfortable under time pressure, and usually have time at the end of each section to review any questions I flagged. By the time the section ends, I’m confident in almost every answer I’ve chosen, but I’m still missing these “should’ve got it” questions.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Any strategies or mental habits that helped you tighten up and eliminate these kinds of preventable mistakes?

Appreciate any advice.

Breaking 170's

Hey guys. I'm enrolled to take the April LSAT, and am consistently scoring 168-169 on prep tests. I can't seem to break into the 170s and do not see any particular patterns in questions I'm missing. Sometimes I'll get -1 and -3 on LR, sometimes -3 and -6. Reading comp I miss about 4. There have been a few cases where I've simply been rushed for time and misread a question, but my results just feel inconsistent so I don't know where to focus my energy. If anyone has any advice please let me know!

If my plan is to "study" for 12ish hours a week, how is that broken down? Do I do 12 hrs of lessons? Or do I finish a section and then practice questions, live classes, or podcasts for that section? If I do the latter, how much time do I spend on each section, and how do I know when to move on?
