  • Congrats on your amazing story of perseverance and success!
  • Anytime you can increase your score, that is a good thing. And it is absolutely worth taking it again. Having multiple takes that are lower doesn't look great on your app, but a much higher score will certainly mitigate any negative implications th…
  • I'm by no means an RC expert, but it is my favorite section and I do considerably better on it then most other sections. When In drill RC, I just generally do the passage timed. I don't use notations and rely heavily on JY's memory method and the t…
  • Aim for December as a tentative date. Study for as long as it takes to get the increase you want. The most beautiful thing about the LSAT is it is one of the only tests that gives you unlimited time and chances to prep for it. Don't take it for gran…
  • @dan_reynolds said: go with the 168 and hire a recruiter who you can get references for to help you get into any college you want... If you got a killer GPA, you can get into almost anywhere, definitely T14 Even with a killer GPA, a 168, whi…

  • @spitzy11 said: I bought the 180 watch and was so excited to use it. However, something about it seemed like it wasn't properly working and wasn't entirely accurate. The watch then broke randomly mid timed PT. I was so irritated and was able t…
  • @Csuposki said: Hmm, I'm a bit new to all this. Can someone explain what this curve means? Is it referring to the maximum number of answers you can get wrong to achieve a 170 in any given LSAT (this is what I managed to gather from that PowerS…
  • @"Accounts Playable" said: This is very important (and often overlooked) part of LSAT prep. I talk about this in my webinar I did back in October. It's the 6th point I make at the end: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/davids-six-tips-o…
  • Manhattan without a doubt. While I highly endorse our 7Sage tutors who are all 170+ scorers and are amazing, Manhattan's tutors tend to be some of the best. They all scored in the 99th%tie and have great reviews. Testmasters doesn't have such a grea…
  • You can always get the starter course ($179) and upgrade as you can afford to. The ultimate + package is without a doubt your best bet due to the fact that it includes all drilling materials you'll need, tests, the logic game and LR bundles, as well…
  • I think you still have the potential and will power to score higher. I would absolutely retake. You're not only leaving points on the table, but opportunities, your career, and what could be hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship money. Yo…

  • Every time I take a few days off I swear I come back and do the best I've done in a while. My best score was after taking close to a week off, though, I did notice I was a bit slower on games. Still, scored my highest yet.
  • @dan_reynolds said: Alex, are you a graduate of law school? Or have you taken the lsat and been accepted? Or are you like many here, and taking the course and just now taking the test? Not a graduate, just prepping like everyone else. I am …
  • https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ Everyone go and watch this webinar. Especially if you are going through the CC or recently finished. This is a must watch!
  • @DByrne07 said: So what is the consensus on someone who has multiple LSAT scores, but continues to improve? I'd think that is a positive view, correct? Yes, a retake with a better score is better than a a sole lower score. The thing is that…

  • @nathanieljschwartz said: So i just finished BRing and grading my firwt PT. I got 11 wrong after the BR. 7 of them were ones that i didnt BR. I was overconfident and got them wrong. The other 4 were ones that i did BR and still got wrong. H…

  • @ifty2nd said: @USER123456 Yes, I am. My mistakes tend to be spread out among question types. There is a significant number of easy questions that I get wrong, along with a significant number of hard questions. I recommend really examining w…

  • YES! Definitely, definitely watch this webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ It really has a plethora of advice for just about every situation you will encounter and help you to address your issue. I've p…
  • @uhinberg said: Personally, I found that the LR and RC sections have gotten harder. As others have mentioned, the wrong answer choices appear to have gotten more enticing. Also, I think that stimuli have become more involved and convoluted. [T…
  • @famjad14 said: @"Alex Divine" good luck! hope you figure it out! Thank you -- I really appreciate it! Same to you
  • @d931n027h said: Thank you both @"Alex Divine" and @"Cant Get Right" !!!!!! no problemo
  • @nathanieljschwartz said: I just took my first timed PT after foolproofing and the CC so i got a 160 timed and a 171 on the BR. This is way below what i was expecting. Could it be that i scored much lower bc it was my first timed PT. Should…

  • @nathanieljschwartz said: Does anyone else find BR tortuous?? Sometimes, but try taking a break after your test. I like to take a half hour and just relax. Then hit the BR. I actually have learned to enjoy it because it is where I get to rea…

  • Before I upgraded to Ultimate +, which I can't recommend enough due to getting access to all the PTs, drill bundles, question banks and lots more, I just bought all the PTs. Its worth it and you're certainly going to want as many as you can get your…
  • @jkatz1488 said: I am also curious what you find difficult in this question type if not your logical understanding. There is a sizable gap between "understanding" and "mastery". It's the same gap between BR and timed scores on the LSAT. Perhap…
  • @TheoryandPractice said: I actually had to change my RC strategy for the PT60s and onward because ACs became a lot more subtle and difficult to eliminate. (and also LR somewhat) You might want to take the later exam to see if your strategy fo…
