@LSAT_Athlete I'm one of the managers of the 7Sage Tutoring program. Let me know if you'd like me (or one of our tutors) to do a Q&A session for your study group! I've done that before with previous groups, and many have found it helpful! Good…

Hey @TJTJTJTJ! I'm one of the managers of the 7Sage Tutoring Program. Help with RC is probably one of our most common requests we get, and is a real strength of our program! If you'd like to learn more about our tutoring program, feel free to sche…

I was in the same boat last year. My advice (both as a former taker and a current tutor) is that it is better to study a little less per week for a longer duration than try to cram! If you only have 1 hour a day, you can master the LSAT - it'll jus…

Hey @AryanSingh! Let me know if you'd like to have a consult to talk about tutoring! In the process, I'd be happy to review your analytics! https://calendly.com/scott-milam/7sage-tutoring-consult It's not quite as good as a free, 1-hour tutoring …

@LSATStudent-9 Hey Matthew! I'm one of the managers of the 7Sage Tutoring program. Let me know if you'd like me (or one of our tutors) to do a Q&A session for your study group! I've done that before with previous groups, and many have found it …

@fatimahbajaha23 In general, you should always cancel a score that is below the 25% at your lowest-ranked acceptable school. In other words, if the lowest ranked school you would consider attending is Texas Tech University (rank 102), then you sh…

I love to see people shoot for 180! Let me know if I can help in any way! I got my 180 last June and would be happy to share or answer questions!

Here are my thoughts: Multiple PTs a week It isn't unusual for our clients to take 2 PTs a week. However, make sure that you really have time to blind review and look over your errors! "Taking PTs" by itself does very little to improve your score; …
-
The key to improving your score is accurately diagnosing why you are missing the questions you are missing! Sadly, there isn’t a ‘one-size-fits-all’ answer to this (that’s one of the benefits of a good tutor!), but here are some tips: Taking PTs d…

@audrey1210 One piece of advice I give to my clients is that time and energy spent judging your current performance is time and energy wasted. Your job is to get better. Spend your time and energy on that! Your current score is only useful as a gu…
-
@alexstraumann The key question you need to ask to escape a plateau is "Why am I getting these answers wrong?" This is the most difficult part of studying for the LSAT - you have to continuously diagnose the errors in your performance in order to c…
-
I would not BR your diagnostic, but I would BR every PT after it. BR is a useful tool to diagnose whether you are missing questions because of timing or because you don’t know the material. That can be very useful as you decide what parts of the Co…

@BlueRiceCake As with most LR questions, the key is identifying the conclusion and its support. In this case, I would summarize the argument as: CONCLUSION Environmental economics is self-contradictory PREMISES People cannot compare costs and …
-
@"Hafsa Khan" The big question you need to identify is why you are in a plateau! The single most important question to diagnose your progress is: What is your BR score? The beauty of BR is that it is a great tool for diagnosing your errors! If yo…

Here's how I worked it out: PT91 S3 G2 First let's draw our board. Thankfully, the board here is quite simple. We have a 6-slot sequencing game with 3 repeating pieces, so our board should look something like this: O J S ___ ___ ___ ___ …
-
Many of the harder "Method of reasoning or descriptive" questions fall into this category. In particular: PT91 S2 Q22 PT80 S1 Q21 PT77 S2 Q17 If you are struggling with them, I would create a problem set out of some of the 4- and 5- star "Metho…

@AlaiaSun Anytime you see a Logical Reasoning question imply that correlation is actually causation, you should IMMEDIATELY be suspicious! If X and Y are correlated, we are left with three possibilities: 1) That X causes Y 2) That Y causes X 3) …

@BenjaminSaka All three sections have become more challenging over time. I actually notice the difference in difficulty more in RC than LG - the passages are longer and more complex, and the answer choices are trickier. Modern LG sections are a lo…
-
First, the advice you asked for: You aren't likely to substantially improve your score in the last week. The LSAT isn't really the sort of test you can cram for. Your goal during your last week is to avoid being rusty, feeling exhausted or sufferin…

I am a 37-year-old school teacher and former pastor who took the LSAT for the first time last June. At the time I was hoping just to get into a tier 2 or 3 law school with a decent scholarship so I could work in the family law firm. I ended up gett…

I always keep a short-form of the conclusion in my head. If it’s a question type that lends itself to a prephrase (SA, for instance) then I primarily focus on that. I almost never try to keep the premises in my memory as I’m combing through answer c…
-
@lindqu41 I generally recommend my students follow the order of the Core Curriculum unless you have a specific reason for skipping around. Later lessons assume you know the previous material, even across sections. Additionally, it follows the progre…

I think you mean PT 8, Section 1, Question 10. If not, please let me know! The key to any Strengthening question is to accurately identify the conclusion. In this case, the conclusion is: "A library in central Glenwood would be within walking dista…
-
My answer to your first question won’t be that helpful - I started at -3 on LR. I can tell you that most of my clients show pretty rapid improvement on LR. Once you learn the basics and we start diagnosing the flawed thinking that leads to wrong an…

This is one my clients often have trouble with… Yes, you do have to assume that! However, that assumption is required by the first sentence of the passage: “Journalism’s purpose is to inform people about matters relevant to the choices they must m…
