All three sections have become more challenging over time. I actually notice the difference in difficulty more in RC than LG - the passages are longer and more complex, and the answer choices are trickie…
I don't really see the median scores coming down with all the high-scoring hold-overs who will be reapplying in the upcoming cycles. LSAT needs to restructure the test or something to re-establish the curve, but the caveat is that they can't do that…
-Big picture + structure
Mentally state to yourself the main ideas and quickly summarize what each paragraph after does after finishing it and how it relates to the passage as a whole. This takes time. I've been able to improve my RC score by about…
I had a big event occur in my life and it threw off my rhythm. I felt like I was reading gibberish for the first couple of sections on a PT I took. I just had to accept that I was going to do awful and work through it til I got my rhythm back. Also …

I don't see why you couldn't have a bucket next to you, but you have to be in frame at all times, so bending over to grab it may disqualify your test! The best thing I can think of is to wear an adult diaper. It is unfortunate…
This happens to me too and it's heartbreaking when I realize that I've misread a rule and already mapped out a whole gameboard based on an incorrect reading, or I forget a rule and miss essential inferences due to forgetting that rule.
I think that…
I have this same issue and I've come to the conclusion that it's a time issue. If I feel pressured, then I'm going to gloss over details and make a reading error. Teaching myself to remain calm, as if I'm reading for my own personal enjoyment has he…

Hello everyone,
I have been a 7sage member for a while but haven't even gone through the CC. I am a full time Electrical Engineering student and have a few jobs on campus, so I usually would be so overloaded with work th…
I actually thought that the older PTs had some odd LGs which made them more difficult... Either way, I'm sure you'll figure them out if you had the older ones figured out

I also know someone who's a double-stem/philo major (Bio). I'm sure curious how they would score on it. Like, shouldn't it be general knowledge which majors give you an advantage on the LSAT? …

^^ Agreed. Loophole by Ellen Cassidy is a game changer for many. It's a little long but easy to get through. I'd say you should have a strong understanding of the basics (conditional rsn, questions types, etc) before readin…

Just keep practicing the questions and really analyze your interpretation of the stimulus, your reasoning for choosing the answer you picked, and the mistake(s) you may or may not have made in choosing that answer over the c…

I think it depends on RC I would call it a passage, but for LR it definitely isn’t a passage because it’s a little blurb, so a stimulus sounds more fitting.
You’re right, but I prefer to be pissed at the moment.
How do you…
This supports my hypothesis that philosophy majors have a huge initial advantage on the LSAT.
If you can make sense of Heidegger, Kant, Hegel, and all those other guys then the obtuse wording and LSAT should come naturally for you, hahaha. Trying r…
I took it with 1 hour limits and just went over the test. Still only scored a 164 (-19) with unlimited time. It was really great because the answers which I got wrong revealed holes in my knowledge, since time wasn't a big factor. Convincing yoursel…
