I always thought it was an age-thing and a lack of maturity sticking to commitments or with interactions with others. I was always surprised by the 'crickets' in Discord groups up until the last few weeks before the test. I guess it's just makes it …

I'm so excited ... and excited to send out my applications, finally. I got a 175!! Signing out of 7sage's LSAT side (my subscription expires today) and moving on into the 'Law School' prep side (soon, I'm going to take a break - I've been at this fo…

@therealvancityhipster Same as above, one day whoops, two days (I think just under since I did my Writing a bit later in the day). I didn't have anything on my desk except for one sheet of paper and a single pencil and was rather meticulous about th…

The Ivey admissions book says that most people score lower on a retake than on their first take.

I have some of the 80s tests in printed booklets, so I looked at the writing sample questions in those tests 81-86 and researched a bit on IRAC / framing my argument outline. I couldn't get the practice to work with the PSI program, so I worked a b…

I treat 'unless' like the Loophole, and have it mentally grouped in as: 'unless, until, except, without' ... 'or.' It was the way I had first memorized it (from Powerscore and then Loophole) and it's the fastest way for me to process it. When I read…

An LSAC rep talking at a school's webinar hinted that they will be (at least the first few). She also said that LSAC will make an announcement in the next few weeks.

A person can totally just use printed materials (books) and local libraries have copies of the 80s tests (and earlier) for checkout. So you could avoid even the PrepPlus cost if you're on a budget and study completely offline. The explanations on Po…

If you're looking at regional schools and NOT looking for scholarship consideration, you could still apply up to about July-ish. (based on the recent SAPLA webinar) Some of the schools mentioned they'd take people up until the start of classes. It's…

I just got an email that my Writing was approved - so fast! Woohoo. I never expected that to process so quickly. I was worried when I took it later Tuesday that I was pushing my luck. Hope everyone else's is processing smoothly and/or already approv…

@Quasar180 I agree. I took the test on Sunday and was shocked that my RC were the same as those discussed from Saturday's test. I had looked into the term posted from the science passage when it was posted Saturday night out of science curiosity ...…

They mentioned to keep an eye on the LSAC page for the updates/new information. There was also a hint that conditions are not the best for large gatherings, so post-April Flexs are likely.
-
7Sage's admission site and the Ivey Guide to Admissions book both talk about this specifically. You'll want to have a lot of extracurriculars. BUT, most schools require the résumé as part of their package. So you might have to create one if you want…

This might not help you at this point ... but if you work the PTs in order, you're probably less likely to notice a significant change in the content.
-
Yikes, finally managed to get the Writing section done ... hopefully it will go through without issue. I could NOT get it to load the last few days, but used Microsoft Edge and it started up. Guess I was just doing it wrong and/or it doesn't like Fi…
-
@Constantine OMG, how horrible! I actually had to go out and buy a new laptop for the Flex (but, knowing that I'd need it to run the LS exam software in the future helped with that decision v just borrowing one). I hope they're able to fit you in la…
-
@winnieq Yes!! I thought the same about the LR.
-
My ProctorU experience was AMAZING! I was so worried and it went perfectly. LR - LG - RC for the arrangement, which was just perfect, not having RC or LG first, but also getting the LR out of the way and not having it last. So grateful for some of t…
-
It really depends on what is your personal struggle. Sometimes I read someone say that an LR section of a test is 'hard,' but then did really well - where it was easy. Other times, the analytics might say that a LR section is 'easy,' only to really …

I took all of the prohibited items out of the room (what a chore!) and turned my books in a small bookshelf around so the spines faced the wall (overkill here, LSAC didn't make comments about books ... although having them next to us, of course is o…

I know for myself, I'm doing this week just as any other week, with the same frequency of PTs. That way, for the actual test, it will feel more like a regular day and I'll be 'fit' for it. (Full disclosure, I started taking a LOT more PTs per week i…
-
It might be that: A) you're squeezing in too many PTs without giving yourself enough time to fully review each, or maybe (most likely!!) it was just a harder PT (when I first took PT75, my score dropped 10 points - I recently took it again and it wa…
-
There's still enough time to take another PT before Sunday (especially as a Flex). ... Assuming you're not working full-time? I'd fit in another test to counter the psych-out from this recent test. It could make such a difference to your mindspace …
-
Love the IRAC mention - I wouldn't have thought to incorporate that, but it would make writing an argument even better / more organized. Beyond Kahn's page, where do you find actual sample essays? (Just google search it??) I have some paper test bo…
-
I didn't think you could take the test without the extension installed. I have the plugin installed on a browser that I never use and plan to uninstall it as soon as the test is finished. I don't like the idea of it either, but as it's a part of th…
-
I think you'll also have to download a program to use for the writing sample. The LSAC page has all of the information for it, though. I know it opened up for use with the January test yesterday (8th).
-
According to the email that LSAC sent out earlier this week, the email won't go out until noon (EST) today.

I think they're sending updates to the system in batches (maybe based on when we signed up for the test??). My test session just appeared at 6pm. I did have to re-update my preferences though, before it would let me schedule. But, a notification at …

I'm not seeing an active exam either ... I just checked.
