@2ndTimeSuccess What's your current LR and RC strategy? That helps give me some context to identify what specific things you're struggling with. Though typically with RC the advice that's helped me improve to around -3 to -5 (for context, this is m…

Given the time constraint, I say focus on improving in LG, which is arguably the easiest to improve in. I wasn't great at it at first and got my LG section down to -0 to -2 just by doing 7sage's fool proof method and practicing the hell out of them.…

It's definitely not ideal to submit after Thanksgiving since apps run on a rolling basis. But a stronger/more competitive app submitted later will always be chosen over one that was submitted earlier and is weaker. This depends though- what is your …

It's been hours and you're still at it omg. Do you plan on doing this on the Powerscore forum too? I want to see you tell them how much they suck as well. And falsely equating using resources on the lsat to practicing as an attorney is a classic LR…

@"LSAT Killer" said: Also reading your comments explains a lot, why only 1% of test takers get 173+. Because when things get tough, everyone runs to a tutor or 7sage for comfort. You wanna be at the top, you gotta toughen up and handle EVERYTH…

It's amusing how misconstrued your claims are. Especially with how self-guided (and affordable) 7sage is compared to taking a live class with a tutor. Tutors that give way too many hints, I might add. I notice you've been trolling the forum lately,…

You have 1 scored section of LG, LR, and RC each. The experimental section will be between LG/LR/RC. For example an exam can be LG-RC-LR-LG. One of the LGs will be experimental and everything else is scored.
-
Your cycle won't open until Sept 2022. You can make an LSAC account but other than that you won't be able to do much. You can certainly start your app materials now though: getting letters of rec, researching your schools, drafting personal statemen…

Relatively, yes taking November is already on the late side. I don't see how you'll have time to work on your apps if you're studying for Nov without being stressed over applying on time (typical benchmark is before Thanksgiving). At that rate you m…

Speed comes with accuracy over time. Sounds like you're only missing maybe the harder question in the first 20, and then run out of time. I do like to do a skipping strategy (there is a fantastic post somewhere on 7sage that I will try to find for …

I don't see any reason to cancel your score unless you're certain you did worse than your June test. If that's not the case, then keep the August score, keep studying for October. If in September you are satisfied w/ the August score, then cancel th…

@"minah.rashid" said: Hey guys I had the exact same exam as the last few people that have commented on this thread! But unfortunately I really let that first LG section trip me up (which unfortunately was the first section of my exam).. I fini…

How many are you missing on LG? Getting to -1/-0 is one of the most surefire ways of breaking into the low 160s. For me, 7sage fool proof method was the best way. The thing I love about LG is that it's the easiest to improve on (relatively to LR and…

@"Frank Dawson" said: Hey, tbh I do not have any. I just read the passage, highlights some key terms and try to memorize those important part of passage but then when I go to questions then I most likely have to go over passage again to ensu…
-
I read the book and I don't think you have enough time to read it before the June exam. Because books like Loophole and Trainer, which people swear by yes because they're really useful supplementary guides, still need time. You need time to digest, …
-
Drill full LG sections until it's second nature and you get -0. That will help your score a lot. For RC same thing, drill full problem sets until you get used to the timing. Not sure what your current strategy is now but if you're in the 160s I'd sa…
-
Contrary to popular belief, I don't think it's the number of hours you put in that matters but how you study with the hours that you can dedicate to the exam. Sure you could do 8 hours a day but practice bad habits and end up not at your goal score.…
-
Yes you should call and reschedule, it's highly likely they'll reschedule for free despite being past the deadline. I caught covid before the January exam after the deadline had passed and they have a one time waiver for last minute date changes.
-
Is the variable section going to be any random section type between LR, LG and RC?

-
Not sure what your methods are and what your other commitments are (working part-time/full-time) but when you self study it does take longer because you've got to figure it out on your own. Really the best way to improve is to mess up a buuunch of t…
-
Since you're not in a rush to apply then I would move it back until you're ready to take it. I think you'd be putting yourself through unnecessary stress rushing the exam.
-
Yea maybe give a shot at not highlighting too much or even at all if you can help it. I think when I highlight too much I use it as a crutch. I don't retain as well and even get things mixed up when I over-highlight. In the end though, the way you d…
-
What is your strategy currently? It helps to know what you're doing now because there could be different reasons why there's a plateau in improvement. What has helped me though is to invest more time into the passage. Skimming it in the interest of…
-
Hey! I totally understand what you're feeling lol. I'm in the same boat, I peaked like a month ago and haven't been able to nail a clean score in a PT since sigh. But as frustrating as that is, the best thing I can do is just move forward and trying…

The key to weakening/strengthening (two sides of the same coin imo) is knowing the flaw. Remember that you're not attacking the premises or conclusion, but the support between them. The correct answer choice is always going to exploit this flaw in o…

what do you mean "skip"? i am by no means in the 170s but i'd like to think they don't skip any, assuming that skipping here means don't try to answer. if you're looking for how many you can miss and still get a 170+ i do believe 7sage has estimated…

Wow thank you. Bookmarked for later when I take it.

Closing again due to enough interest! Thank you so much everyone, I'll do my best to get back to everyone asap

Bumping! We are looking for 1-2 more people so please reach out to me if you're interested in joining me, @wenxusunch and @taylordipan
