  • @"NowOrNever-1-1-1-1-1-1" said: I'm sorry I was going through a moment of weakness after tanking an RC section when making this post. Any tips on how I can make atleast a little bit of improvement in the next two weeks before the November…
  • Depends on the situation. When I was working 60-70 hours a week, I studied much less. I learned to set very low minimums because if I was ambitious and told myself I was going to study for 4 hours after work, I'd often feel overwhelmed and end up no…
  • Identify the problems and workshop solutions. It seems like you've identified the problem already: @legallybrunette5 said: Usually it's due to reading errors, rushing, or just overthinking the answer choices. Solutions? I'd recommend: Stop rus…
  • I’ve been hard on powerscore in the past and I think some of it has been a little overblown. Their LR is fine. Their RC is about average (which is quite bad, but they don’t deserve to be singled out). But I will stand by my very worst assessments of…
  • You are as burnt out as I've ever heard of. Take time off. Real time off. Don't just sit around feeling guilty for not studying for a few days. Take a couple weeks and clear your mind. Allow yourself to enjoy it. Plan things. See friends. Do not thi…
  • Law school is not a silly undertaking. Why make a very silly decision when not very silly decisions are available?
  • This happens all the time on students' final PT before the real thing. Typically, we put a lot more weight on this penultimate test than we do on any other PT, and that introduces a lot of pressure and anxiety we aren't used to. Far from not matteri…
  • I was just saying in another thread quite recently how people in your starting range so often start doing worse on RC once they begin studying for it. This is very common, so don’t panic. I’d recommend putting all your emphasis their into analyzing …
  • @lizannbee said: Hello, I was wondering if you are going to do sessions like this for LR or RC Yep!
  • Just a reminder that this will be happening tonight! The link will be posted 10 minutes before start time.
  • @"slxyzvvv-1" said: My score fluctuations mostly depend luck... like whether the passages in RC happen to make sense to me, or whether I happen to spot the subtle flaws in LRs. I feel like those things rly ain't within my control that's why …
  • @"NowOrNever-1-1-1-1-1-1" said: @drinkcultures3434 said: I don't think there will be any harm in drinking 1 glass of water before going to sleep. You can find detailed information on the subject here. https://drinkcultures.com/why-…
  • @okkkkkkkkkkk said: @"Cant Get Right" said: Depending on where you’re scoring, the answer changes dramatically. A lot of people actually do worse on RC after “studying” it. Especially in the -4 to -8 range, people got to be careful…
  • @"folbucks coffee" said: Hello, could you tell me how can I join this session? @isabellalsat said: How do I join? @david525 said: will the link be posted here? @"jaiden.medford" said: Would like to know the link too! Th…
  • You're doing it wrong. When you feel you're about to start crashing, you've got to escalate. If you start with one cup at 9am and then crash at, say, 3pm. Have two cups at around 2:30, thus preventing the crash. Now, the next crash will probably com…
  • There is a new style of "weird" question that got introduced right about this time. To me, they feel sort of like the correct answer doesn't directly answer the question. Instead, the answers will imply something from which an inference can be made,…
  • @"slxyzvvv-1" said: @"Cant Get Right" said: I retested a 170, but my PT average was 176 at the time of the retest. I think that was critical. If you can get your PT average up to mid-170’s+, then go for it. As it is, though, it loo…
  • @claremont said: Unequivocally it is better to guess than leave any blank. @dexterity said: ^^^ Yup. Absolutely correct.
  • @"scottie pippen" said: @"Cant Get Right" Let us assume a hypothetical scenario where ClaudioD21 had 2 more months to prepare for his test. How would he fix his classic time management problem with ready-made solutions? So what does it mean …
  • I see you’ve already got 7Sage, so I’m assuming you’re looking to supplement. This is one of the only things I recommend them for, but the Powerscore LR book is actually pretty good for intro basics. LSAT Trainer is also solid on LR.
  • With only days left, you’re probably locked in. Last minute breakthroughs are really dangerous to bank on. This is a classic time management problem with ready-made solutions, and if you had weeks instead of days, you may could get there. With only …
  • Not in recent times. But if it’s good enough for Abe Lincoln, it’s good enough for me. Law school doesn’t teach you how to practice law anyway, so I hope this catches on and either cuts law schools out of the equation or at least forces them to chan…
  • I’m going to be doing a free tutoring session next week which addresses exactly how I overcame this. I hadn't bumped the discussion yet because it felt a little early, but here it is the thread with the details: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/…
  • I’m not sure I have the same expectation that these passages are typically easier. I can think of several exceptionally difficult passages with only five questions just off the top of my head. In your situation, I think you could opt to start for th…
  • Yeah, it was a different era for sure! For a while there, LSAC actually banned digital PT’s! You could only access by buying hard copies of the test. 7Sage couldn’t make tests available or anything. It sucked. Some of them were out of print, and I r…
  • Before the pandemic, the LSAT was always administered exactly four times a year: Feb, June, Sept/Oct, and Dec. The tests from certain test dates were disclosed. Which was great. When you got your score, you also got a copy of the test, a copy of you…
  • Depending on where you’re scoring, the answer changes dramatically. A lot of people actually do worse on RC after “studying” it. Especially in the -4 to -8 range, people got to be careful.
  • Assuming your BR is strong, it’s a time management problem. Period. If your BR is not so strong, it’s still a time management problem. You’ve just got a few fundamentals to hammer out as well. With strong fundamentals, I think you can be ready by No…
