Took my diagnostic on May 11 and got a 144. Since then, I've enrolled in a UBC prep course and use 7sage to drill daily for about 3-4 hours

When I took my next prep test on June 27 under simulated real test conditions, I got a 152. This was reassuring to me, since when I asked 7sage what score it thought I'd get before I took the prep test, it guessed correctly.

The problem is, since then I've been plateauing LR sections at about -8 to -6, 7sage think that if I took the test now id get closer to a 155-156, but I need to get a 160+ for August to be competitive since I'll be a splitter with a subpar GPA and CGPA.

I've been following a blueprint that the 7sage AI has made for me to be able to hit that goal, but I struggle a lot with Conditional Reasoning and Phenomenon Hypothesis. The latter, I feel I can get better at through practice and elimination, but CR is really hard to eliminate answer choices without using formal logic or chains.

I really struggle with differentiating Necessary and Sufficient conditions and understanding what must be true or what is inferred based on the question stem when evaluating answer choices, even if I successfully translated the stem into a diagram. Other than that, RC is just a time issue for me, and that will hopefully come with more practice

Has anyone had success going from a 152 to a 160+ in a month, and how did you manage it?

Ive been studying for about a month and a half now, daily drilling and LR sections but for the past 2 weeks all my LR sections have been stuck at -8 to -5 and 7sage says that most of these questions are either phenomenon hypothesis or conditional reasoning. Phenomenon I feel I can get a handle on with more review and better understanding what to look for but all the research I’ve done into conditional reasoning mention formal logic and contrapositive and logic chains. I really suck at this and I can’t really eliminate wrong answer choices for this type of questions so how do you guys handle this stuff

I’m into my second week of studying for the LSAT. After my first week, I watched all of the LawHub Logical Reasoning lesson videos because I felt like I didn’t really understand the questions I was getting wrong. Before that, I was scoring around 6 to 7 out of 12. Since then, I’ve only been getting about one or two more questions correct than before.

I’ve heard a lot of people recommend keeping a wrong-answer journal and focusing on understanding why you got questions wrong. However, a lot of the time I feel like it’s because multiple answer choices seem incredibly similar. My predictions for the question sometimes line up with more than one answer choice, so it can feel like a toss-up in the moment, even though the correct answer seems much more obvious during review.

I've been struggling with daily drilling, and I feel I tend to succeed in my studies more when I'm in a traditional classroom setting. I feel that the semi-self-directed studying I hear a lot of people doing is going to be a real challenge for me, especially because I have undiagnosed ADHD and find it hard to lock in for longer than 1.5 hours a day. I feel it's much easier to do so/get in the headspace when I am taking weekly lectures/classes.

I am considering the Sauder UBC course as it runs from May 30-July 2, and I'm taking the August LSAT.

Has anyone taken it before? What was it like? What was your LSAT score after (and before if applicable) taking the course?

I made a promise to myself that if I got my CGPA up by the time I finished my undergraduate id start studying for the LSAT and applying to law schools. With the spring final season wrapping up, it seems like I'll be reaching that goal, and so my next step is studying. I am basically going in blind to the LSAT. I have a rough idea of what's expected, but I'm considering enrolling in a prep course. I've heard good things about 7Sage. I just want to get all of your experiences starting, how long you prepped for, and how you found the whole process. Also, is it feasible, if I started in May, for me to take the LSAT in August?

In all honesty, I completely fucked up my GPA in my first year of uni, getting basically a 2.2 in my first year, and have been fighting tooth and nail to get it back up to a respectable position ever since. I'll be graduating with a CGPA of 3.21, but I've averaged a 3.5 or higher each semester since my first year, with my last 2 semesters being a 3.7 and a 3.9. I know that my CGPA is subpar at best so ill have to aim for above a 165 on the LSAT. I like to believe I am a very skilled writer and that has always been my strong suit in courses, but short-term memory and memorization have always been something I've struggled with during midterm and finals season. I understand that the LSAT requires both of these, but I want to hear what parts you all found the hardest with the LSAT, as I want to know what to expect going into this.

One of my favorite parts of the game is flying around looking at my ship but i feel like im the only person in my social space doing it
