The newer tests are not as logic based as the older tests are without a doubt. In fact, I would say that close reading skills are more heavily rewarded than being very good at conditional logic. Though there is an aspect of the correct answer I do…
@"selene.steelman" Any advice about depositing on a school ( best option school) that may require 2 deposits (totally $1000) before I might here from others? For context this is ASU which is asking for deposits by April 1st and May 3rd. I am still…
@VerdantZephyr, Good to hear from you as well, it’s been awhile! Sorry to hear about your options and feeling pressure because of employment. I have the opposite issue on employment and have a stable job and make relatively good money but my heart…
This post really hit home for me. Every day feels like a toss up between submitting more apps and then actually withdrawing the apps I have out there and waiting until next year. I am conflicted about waiting another year because I have been stud…

Thanks so much for this response. It was quite insightful, and I tried to write down some of your explanations to aid in my understanding.
However, I was a bit confused with where you said "If H then G then no J. L becomes…
In and out games are my favorite game type ( seriously the CD game is my actual favorite game).
The first thing I would say is that to be successful you need to be so completely comfortable knowing when rules trigger versus when they fall away. Ev…
I also took the make up test exam. First of all for anyone who took that exam no matter if it was the easiest test ever or the all time most difficult it is totally natural for each of us to feel anxiety, second guess ourselves and even miss more p…
I remember JY doing a podcast episode regarding RRE questions a long time ago and I remember it being helpful. I do remember him also mentioning an exercise to help people understand these questions by turning them into weaken questions which was a…
All retakes will be this coming Thursday. LSAC was trying to finalize who will be retaking this morning/afternoon. I was personally granted a retake this morning. For people who think their performance was adversely impacted due to tech issues/ P…
Even with extra time, unless your accommodations specify that you have extended time between the sections and are allowed to use the bathroom, you are still not able to do so. I have taken the test and went through the entire check in process and a…
The last question on PT 86 was removed from scoring. It has been a long term issue on Lawhub that all Prep Tests are which have had a question removed on the official test have the question appearing on Lawhub. It has been reported to them, they h…
RC kept me out of the 170's for a long time. And I also had a similar experience where I would do a little better on RC and hit the 170's for a Prep test or two and then back to the 160's. I don't write anything down under time. I tried that appr…
I might be able to. My normal study group is working on older tests right now and since I am testing in January I am mostly working with the newer material. Alot of it is retakes at this point, so depending on which PT you want to do I may join.
I would say absolutely not. The day before your test you want to relax as much as possible. It isn't worth doing a PT and possibly scoring lower. My recommendation would be to plan your final PT early in the week before you test. Review in detail…
@dwgw11- Your welcome! It has really helped me remove the ambiguity and RC and become fairly confident that I can say I know I have the right answer. Part of why people love LG ( once they get the hang of it) is they feel like they can test the an…
@mehtakrishna7979, what was the difference in your score in timed to BR? Have you gone through the write up and seen how I approached questions and compared it with you approached the same question? There certainly isn't only one approach that wor…
@cpeaks13 I don't scan the scan questions first because I am always reading for the same things- main point, tone, purpose and structure. I can answer the majority of questions have a solid idea of these. As I read I highlight around the structure…

I just took the PT, hoping I can come tomorrow. Are you planning on LR or also RC?
Hope to see you there! We can do whatever people want. I ended up with nothing flagged for LR so its al…
I am glad to hear that you have room to improve in LG. Getting that number down to -0 or -1 might be enough to push you into the 160’s if you have hit 157 a few times before. I have studied a long time and understand it gets disheartening after a …
@cpeaks13, I am glad to hear it really helped me! How we approach a section and on a more micro level, each question can really make a large impact on our performance.
How to approach line reference questions was one of the easiest to implement strategies that was recommended to me. In RC it is important to keep momentum. I personally spend more time on the passage ( I average around 4 minutes) so need to work t…
The email was sent out but went to Promotions/ spam. I happened to check it yesterday and found it. The sign up is tomorrow at noon eastern. The testing period is a little different than we thought and is from the 16-21st of January!
Until you are breaking into the 160's I wouldn't register for the test. Since you have been studying for about a year and haven't made a large increase I would highly suggest reaching out to a tutor on 7Sage and see if they can help you. I know fo…
