The LG curriculum is obsolete as the previous comments have stated, but I wouldn't discard the section as a whole! Logic games, specifically and especially pure In/Out games can still serve as a valuable tool for learning how to chain up and read c…

I think consistent practice focused on your areas of biggest improvement is key. I would disagree with alacebo, I think practice tests should be used more sparingly. There is value in becoming accustomed to the actual task of taking the test, since…

Congrats! Keep it up!

Yes don't worry, that is the purpose of the curve. LSAC is very careful about this, they want their test to mean something and for the law schools to keep using it, so they will control for relative difficulty. The way they do this is through the e…

NA must be true for the argument to hold any water at all, SA makes the argument valid. NA are usually very weak compared to SA, things that you might take for granted. Example of NA: If the weather is good tomorrow, we will catch lot of fish at t…

Hey Symphony! The way I like to think about weakening questions is to imagine some tells me to my face the conclusion of the argument, then when I ask them "why?" they give me the premise(s) to support it. My job is to figure something out that giv…

Welcome Margit! I would suggest that before you start drilling you should do the most of the core curriculum. You can find it by navigating to the "Learn " tab at the top of the page. If you haven't already, you should consider taking a "diagnost…

Hey Gigi! The age old question. Based off things I've read and heard, like the 7Sage LSAT podcast, I would suggest considering keeping the score. I think it's not super strange for an admissions officer to look at your LSAT transcript and see that y…

You rock!

I agree with haq, I think January is where your best shot will be. I say this very often in these forums, but it may be better for you to consider taking another year in order to apply with a stronger chance. You have your life to live, and circums…

@thenoah16624 said: Great advice, thank you. I try to tell myself similar things concerning burnout, but it's hard to step away when the test is just around the corner. And as for total study volume, I'm coming to terms with the fact that thre…

I think in your case it would be helpful to keep in mind the fact that you mentioned at the start of your post, which is that you are only 2.5 months into your studying, that is still very early. As long as you keep to a consistent and rigorous stud…

Totally agree with everything colestove said, and to add onto that, the LSAT is very much something you can do something about right now, so instead of worrying about your grades which are very much set in stone, refocus towards the LSAT and get the…

I think the conventional reasoning is that while it is ideal to apply in September, or failing that, November, it is only really until December that you see any noticeable decrease in your chances, then January is not ideal but it is still very real…

Keep it up!

@equallyyoked said: I am joyful with you that you have reached this great score! How long between your diagnostic and your final score? Can you please share what your daily study schedule was like? Drill, full test, study repeat? Would like to…

@"jjmv.jpg" said: Congrats ! My only question is how did you keep yourself accountable to study consistently? I may be burned out at the moment but I have been struggling with keeping up with my studies. Thank you! Motivation is something wh…

That's a very good score for a first time take. I believe the median score for a first time taker is 152? So you're pretty much bang on target. Good job so far, make sure to keep a consistent study schedule and use the 7Sage analytics to zero in on …

@evvomed4 said: It's a long shot, but do you know if I have any options regarding whether I can get this test expunged, retake it, or even take the issue up with LSAC or Prometric? I'm not hopeful of anything, but I'd appreciate any help or ad…

Took yesterday and overall had a decent time with the actual test but I had THREE SEPARATE PROCTOR ISSUES. Not sure if it’s fair to call them proctor issues, but 3 glitches nonetheless. I think I handled them well, mostly because I knew my specific …

Took today as well. Just my luck, had 3 separate system glitches. Loooove ProMetric... Are they not doing the 7Sage thread where people can discuss the exam?

They are definitely used in LR. I would say that, for many questions, a reflexive understanding of conditional logic is essential.
-
As reece said, the core curriculum is probably the best place you can look to make progress at these early stages. Clamping down on JYs lessons is the best way to maximize your beginner gains. Also as they said, progress is not linear. That's not …
-
Good luck! > @daisyfellows said: @"nicholas.leon96" Not OP, but when you say "take a look at the LR questions you're weakest on", would you recommend going over actual questions we've missed or just the type of question we're missing most, wi…

First of all I want to reassure you that you've got this. Don't forget to look at how much you've progressed since you started. Look at all that progress, broke out of the 40's and into the 60's with consistency and sometimes the 70's, that's awesom…

Do you do any reading outside of your studying? I found that extra reading helped me a lot. I subscribed to the Economist (because that's the thing you do I guess, but you could realistically just read any old rag) and every morning with breakfast I…

I echo what rimtshuman said. It can be fun and rewarding to take it before you know anything about the test and then see how your score rises from your diagnostic. In addition I will say that after you take that diagnostic, I would not take any mor…

Any updates on Vanessa? I found her story very compelling because she started at a low score and went very high. I’d love to hear where she ended up going.
