Definitely @"jeremy.pimenta" it’s good stuff!

I preferred the methodology of blueprint far and away to 7sage for LR, but the layout of the practice tests and practice material is abhorrent. 7sage is second to none as far as interface, problem sets, etc. Blueprint without a 7sage subscription wo…

LR is typically my best and I just was confounded really early on, got hung up on 7, 9, and 12. Usually do 10 in 10 min with very little issue but I was stuck at 7 11 min in and had to guess on more than I’m used to. RC seemed fairly straightforward…

On resolve questions the correct answer has to address both issues. If it doesn’t, it’s wrong. On explain questions the correct answer has to provide a reasonable explanation that fits within the specifics of the stimulus. It is good to take your ti…

That’s a smart move @"Jordan Johnson" good idea
-
I’ve done the same as you, did 5 section for the first 4, switched to 4 section for the last 4, took one as flex style today and it was nice. I think you have the right idea, personally
-
I just think “break the link!” In my head, the link being the premise and conclusion relationship. Other explanations above are more thorough

I am by no means a LG expert but I approach these intuitively as kind of an elimination, read the proposed substitution rule and check if it allows anything to happen differently, eliminate it if it does. My $0.02

To echo @rhumphreys1015 the data seem to indicate that the LSAT flex is considerably easier given the huge jump in scores. In my experience of 1, surely an unrepresentative sample, the full 5 section test is not even in the same ballpark as the 3 …

Thanks

I am focusing on the "modern era" tests, 70-80s. I could be completely wrong, but some of the LR questions seem more subtle, and the RC I have trouble finishing whereas I did not struggle to finish RC on the 50-60s. Could just be me.

I am interested. I have gotten 159, 159, and 160 my last three Practice tests. Probably going to sign up for June as well. Message me if you're interested and I'll share my email.
-
These are all very interesting comments. I spoke with a T-20 director of admissions and they observed that applicants who took the old/original LSAT and also the LSAT flex see in the range of 5 to 7 points higher on their LSAT flex scores, and that …

I’m taking April, working full time and on central time. Last three PTs 82,83,84 scored right at 160. I’m interested. @ The Erik have you taken any PTs in the 80s? My LR and LG have both increased materially since I began studying but when I switc…
-
7Sage doesn’t include the experimental sections. You can take 4 though. I have taken the 5 section tests via another test prep and they are brutal relative to flex with regards to extended focus. They help though, eventually you get better at the f…
-
Interestingly to me- everyone seems to agree that 80 on are harder/different, but it seems like everyone attributes the difference to a different section. For me, my LR was unaffected, logic games unaffected, but I got about 4 questions more wrong o…
-
Go to the link and and sort based on application deadlines. There are schools you can apply to with an April LSAT. Sure the “conventional” approach is to wait until next cycle but you don’t have to. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tUI5y-Sw2…

Typically the answer is a summarization of the stimulus or relates to a strong statement in the stimulus. Try and anticipate the answer - this helps you avoid falling into the clever traps of the wrong answers. Rule of thumb if you're stuck between…

Put it out of your mind! At this point you've put in the work, just get your mind right. Focus on bringing the right mentality into the test. You got a 168 on your worst day, that's a great floor. Take it for what it is (anomalous) and focus on a p…

nice!
-
I will echo @Auntie2020 - I was having this same issue. Now after I transcribe the rules, I take about 10-20 seconds (I think, maybe 30 idk) to DOUBLE CHECK the rules. It doesn't take that long, and it is much faster than working with an incorrect r…
-
For what it's worth, I am doing my best to take my own advice, as I currently do not quite finish the LR section but I am close. I typically have 2-3 I guess on. I am not where I'd like to be and I postponed my test date since I think that I will im…
-
Don't worry about the time, just go at the pace which makes you comfortable with getting them correct. This will help you get the questions you do complete correct. Then you will get ~1/5 of your guesses correct. Once you can do this you will see t…
-
If you have hit 173 on the practice tests go for it. 173 doesn't just happen. You have a full week to practice an evening exam setting, you can do it. Especially if you're trying for fall 21, if not, maybe just wait. Also if your PTs have been 4 or…
-
@whatsmyname I agree with your point about "being on" - very interesting how important mindset is. If I am not properly focused I will miss every 3rd or 4th question on LR, and if I'm "on" aka very focused and have a quiet mind, maybe miss 2-3. I t…
-
I think the 7sage interface is similar enough that just doing the tutorials available on Lawhub is enough to have a smooth experience.
-
I thought I was decent at it but the more recent PTs feel different to me. On the most recent tests RC was my worst section. I was averaging -6 on my first 5 PTs, -4 to -10 range best to worst (all prior to PT65) and I have gone -13, -8, and -11 on…

Thanks for sharing, this resonates with me.

I did not rip my scratch paper (I didn't use it at all, not sure if that matters or not) and was worried my ID picture would be too blurry, however I received my approved writing sample in 4 days.

grace099 lol I agree, but it says in the corner somewhere "Get Acquainted" or something. It feels exactly like you are entering the actual exam, so just be sure you are navigating to the practice through the link that says "Get Acquainted" (or whate…
