Hey 7Sagers,
Here's the official September 2019 LSAT Discussion Thread.
**Please keep all discussions of the September 2019 LSAT here!**(/red)
Rules:
✅ You can identify experimental sections. 🙆♀️
You can say things such as the following:
“I had two LGs! Was the LG with "flowers" real or experimental?” “I had two RCs! Was the section that starts with the honeybee passage real?”“I had three LRs! Does anyone know if the first LR section with the goose question is real?” ❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅♂️
You CANNOT say things such as the following:
“Hey, the 3rd LG was sequencing and the last one was In/Out, right?” (Don't mention the game type)“The last question in the first LR section was a lawgic heavy MBT! Was the answer (B)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)“What was the answer for the last question of RC? I think it was an inference question? Was the answer (C)?” (Don't mention the question type or ask what the answer was)

Its like 12+ pages... youll have enough
How much scrap paper do they provide? Worried that I won’t have enough for the games and RC (Assuming I’d chose to annotate/Low reso). Thank you!
I didn't know how to do that flower game at all and guessed on all of them. I only got 2 wrong on games. 6 on reasoning and 7 on RC. RC always screws me no matter how easy it is lol

Well about exactly what I thought it would be. Just good enough to make me want to forgo November's and just low enough to where I feel compelled to give it another shot (in part due to the LG section on Sep). I really want to get applications out. Especially to one school in particular in which they must receive an app before Nov 15 to be eligible for the in person interview, but my score is a couple of points below their median. Any suggestions on how to handle all of this going forward would be so appreciated.
I just posted something similar to this thread... I used the 7sage predictor and determined that if I delay apps and retake in November in exchange for a couple more points on the LSAT, my chances would only increase by about 3 percent. BUT if you're planning to ED the "boost" would probably be a lot more than if you forgo ED and delay apps in exchange for a few points. Try the 7Sage predictor to play out a few scenarios but keep in mind that it's not a crystal ball-- only meant to give you an idea of where you stand.
How's everyone feeling now that they've got their scores back?
I got the exact score I was anticipating... 164.
-10 on LR1, LR2, and RC combined and whopping -11 on LG alone :neutral:
I started at a 148 and promised myself I would not give up until I make it to the top 10 percentile. A 164 puts me at the 89th percentile, UGH!
I'm using the 7sage predictor to weigh my options. I can apply with my current numbers by the end of this month or apply with a 166 (my conservatively estimated Nov. retake score) in December. My chances only improve by 3% for most schools if I retake and apply later.
Is that 3% boost worth the stress of the retake? I'm leaning toward FUCKDAT but what would you guys do?
Would love to hear your post-score-release admissions dilemmas, too :)
When will this test appear on 7sage?

Yikes. Lower than July (canceled) and 8 points below my PT average. Not sure how to move forward, test day focus seems to be a big issue.
SAME! So disappointing! Hoping JY will do an explanation on the Logic Games section soon too.

I still have not received my score. anyone else??
Did you ever receive your score? I still don’t have mine...not gonna lie I’m kinda mad.
Check your LSAT Registration status. Mine wasn't emailed to me until around 10 am but I had checked the website at 9 am.
Thanks! I've actually been checking the LSAC site ever since this morning...my icons are still grey. Figure I'll call if I don't have it by tomorrow.

I wonder when the explanations for the Sept LG get published onto 7sage?

Does anyone else still not have their score? Waiting is torture....
I wish I had read this discussion before I cancelled my score. For the last 3 weeks I have gone into a cave and felt demoralized by the LG section in September. Even though I felt good about the other sections, I knew I couldn’t rebound from the high number of LG random guesses. The soonest retest I could get was November which just misses the deadline for early binding at my 1st pick. Now I have my responses and am dying to know what I scored on my other sections.
But at least I don’t feel all my preparation was for nothing. I’ll crack open my old prep books today and give it one more try.

After weeks of worrying that I got worse than -10 on LG, I got -7. I can deal with that. My worst section ended up being RC at -8, including missing 4 of the last 6 questions. Ugh. Can somebody remind me what the last passage was about?
I think it was about environmental law?
Oh yeah I think that’s right! Combination of test fatigue and difficult passage I suppose
Yeah I thought it was the hardest passage. RC was also my last section so I was feeling it too.

@bgillman193
Good deal. Mine was slightly lower than expected :-(
Uggggh. Don’t know what to do now.
Happy to help you make a decision if you want. Just shoot me a message if you need to bounce ideas off of someone.
Will our test booklet show up today, or does that get added to the account later on?
My score was at the highest end of the range I was expecting . . . but that whole range was lower than my goal and my average. So I'll absolutely be retaking in November.
