Can i read out loud while taking LSAT? English is not my native language and for me reading out loud helps me to understand the text better.

I hope to see you there!
Wanted to see if anyone has advice for improving one's mental game on the LSAT. I'm working through the back end of the curriculum now and have consistently found that my head is not in the right place when I do problem sets. Specifically, I notice that I a) misread often (mistake a 'some' for a 'most' or think the stimulus asks for a sufficient assumption when it, in fact asks for a necessary assumption), b) refer back to the stimulus or game rules in an almost paranoid way which keeps me from actually reasoning and performing the task assigned by the stimulus, and c) have a pretty constant 'under the gun' feeling during problem sets. My brain is foggy and unfocused in a way that keeps me from doing the precise mental work of the LSAT.
Some of this is a reading skills issue. I've heard of ways to work on this specifically, like the basic translation drill from Loophole LR Prep and Powerscore's practice of memorizing all the game rules before beginning. If anyone has any feedback or ideas on implementing these, I would welcome suggestions.
I do think there's something going on below the technical level, here. Like every other 7Sager, I'm putting lots of pressure on myself to perform well. Pressure can be a good, motivating thing, but when my brain sends 'on the Titanic and the last lifeboat just left' signals while I'm attempting to click the correct buttons on a laptop screen, it's gone too far. A simple, if unhelpful, way to remedy this feeling is of course to perform better on the LSAT, but progress is slow for most people (myself included) and attaching worth to performance is generally an unsustainable practice.
Again, I welcome advice or thoughts on any of this. I'll add that I think these are typical struggles in this community, and I have it better than many other 7Sagers, so I'm not posting this as a woe-is-me thread. The hope is that this is a manageable, common problem worth systematically addressing. I couldn't link it but the thread below offers some great mindset advice for the LSAT. I read it as a warm-up for studying some days. If you haven't yet, do take a look.
How will this affect people applying this upcoming cycle or in the future?
Is this happening for anyone else? I just recently faced this problem for the past two weeks and it is really annoying not being able to create drills on specific problems I need to work on. I have already removed caches and cookies from chrome. It is just the LR that is not working for me, but RC and LG works fine.
Hey guys! I took the November LSAT not sure what my score is gonna be tbh, but I know I have can do greta so I have the January LSAT to take if things don't work out. I think the best last option now to score well in January is to get a tutor. Does anyone have any recommendations of anyone they may know? I really want to just score in the 160s
Hi! does rescheduling/postponing a test you have already registered for look bad on your application? I plan to take the LSAT (second attempt) in January 2023 but would like to postpone if it won't negatively affect my app.
any advice? Considering law school
When i use scratch paper on the test am i able to quickly write down, For example, lists of sufficient and necessary condition indicators? since it is my own paper and have to go in with it blank anyway i would assume i can write down whatever is in my mind at the strat but would like clarification.
i struggle remember indicator words when under time crunch but if i get them on paper in the start from memory, is this ok?
Before I sign out from this family of network, I want to first thank J.Y. for his divinity. He will forever be a man I respect deeply, whose guidance through this LSAT journey has been like a powerful torchlight in darkness.
I got a score I am proud of, and that would not have been possible without J.Y. (It was not working out at the gym or drinking coffee that led to my score increase. :) A million thanks, J.Y.!!!
I also thank the community here for their support. I met great friends through this channel, without whom not.
7Sage helped me a ton with the LSAT, and I will be recommending this prep course for those who struggle with the test.
If you need to reach me, I can be contacted at my email address [redacted]
See you all in law school or beyond.

Lots of applications require separate essays for each Scholarship.
NYU app has like 20 different schollys listed in the app each requiring an essay.
Berkeley has at least 3 different scholarship essays
How are those who are applying for Schollys handling these? Are you just checking the box that you're applying without submitting the essays?
Or can one simply point them to PS?
It seems like there's no downside to applying for EACH scholarship even though the chances are small of getting them. Anyone in the same boat?
I took the LSAT twice (cancelled one, kept one) and I'm planning on taking it one last time (fingers crossed!) in February. I didn't finish the core curriculum before taking either test, but I'm wondering if it's worth going back and trying to get through everything in full if I already have a pretty decent understanding of the basics, plus the extra experience of 2 real tests. Is there a good way to approach this so I don't have to start completely from the beginning?
Planning on doing my LSAT writing this week. Any tips/tricks/advice anyone can give?
Does anybody have the LSAT score percentiles for 2022. I know a 166 is 90th percentile. The percentiles are updated every year but I can't find the updated version.
Thank you 7Sage for helping me achieve this dream of mine! My entire study process ran from January 2021 to October 2022 with a few breaks in between. I got to a 163 with two other test prep companies and then started to stall in June 2022. That's when I turned to 7Sage, largely for the affordability.
7Sage made all the difference with the focus on blind review (so key!) and the view of logic games as largely an exercise in muscle memory. Two other things that made a huge difference: 1) keeping an error journal and logging my mistakes and what I needed to do differently based on question type, and 2) learning how to do basic meditation to keep my mind calm during tests.
Ultimately, I had a 22 point jump and I credit so much of that to 7Sage. If you have a LSAT dream, I believe in you! You got this!

Hey everyone, your advice would be much appreciated. I did a very dumb thing and retook a 170. In my defense, I was PTing between 173-178 for the last 3 months, which is the only reason I decided to do it. Score release today was a nightmare and I got a 167, which I haven't scored since before the June test. There were no extenuating circumstances besides test anxiety and normal Proctor U issues. I have score preview, but I'm not sure whether a second cancel would look worse than a 3 point score drop. Things to consider (1) Admissions could assume the cancel was much worse than a 167 (2) 167 and 170 are technically in the same score band, but now it looks like I am at the lower end rather than the higher end (3) I can't retake before my applications are due so don't ask lol. If it helps, I am a nURM, nKJD, 3.90 applicant that graduated a year early from a non-ivy with some international/bilingual work experience trying for a T-10 school (NYU is my dream). Thanks for all of your help! I've heard such mixed things.
Not looking for extraneous detail or any thing, just wondering, its possible for the first section on the lsat to be experimental? Unlikely but possible, or is it truly random and totally possible on account of that randomness?
There's articles online from Kaplan that says this about the digital lsat:
"Test-takers are given a tablet, blank test booklet, and stylus/pen for test-taking."
Is this true?
Hey Everyone,
Hope all is well! I've been studying since July and am looking for a tutor at this point in my LSAT journey. Anybody know where I should be looking?
For context, my diagnostic was a 156 and I've since built up to PTing around 164. On some occasions, I've scored as high as 170 on PTs. I scored a 163 on the October administration, and literally took November today where I was absolutely demoralized by the games section. This took place even though I committed the last month to intense focus on games. Thus, I'm pretty sure I didn't hit my target score of 170. If anyone is reading this, feel free to provide me some advice or send some tutors my way. I'm panicking! Thanks.
current 3L here - I was watching Barbri videos on 1.75x speed which reminds of the time I was watching all JY vidoes on 1.5x speed. Contrary to my user name, I actually never got that 173 on LSAT, but did get into a T20 and will start in biglaw starting next summer.
Looking back it's amazing how much I've changed over the last 2.5 years of law school. I'm turning this into an AMA, so if you have questions or need encouragement ask away.
Hi there,
I am officially done with my lsat journey and looking to pass on my LSAT prep materials to anyone here (Los Angeles Area) who would like them. They are preloved and do have highlighting and writing in them.
If interested just let me know. Not looking to sell. Will be asked to be picked up as shipping would be expensive. Just looking to pass them on.
Here is the list below of what I have:
Powerscore Logic Game Bible
Powerscore Logic Game Bible workbook
Powerscore Reading Comprehension Bible
Powerscore Reading Comprehension workbook
Powerscore Logical Reasoning Bible
Powerscore Logical Reasoning workbook
LSAT Reading comprehension Manhattan Prep
LSAT 5lb book of Practice Drills
The LSAT TRAINER
The Fox Lsat Logic Games playbook
The loophole in LSAT logical reasoning
Fox Logical Reasoning Encyclopedia
PREPTESTS

Apologies in advance for the urgency but I am taking the LSAT on Saturday and my account isn't linking to my LawHub Account. I paid for PrepPlus already.
I made a new account on 7sage instead of using my old account since it's older but now I'm having issues using the site specifically drills. it keeps asking me to link it and when I click the link or try via the email I received it says user is already registered to this coach.
Do I need to delete my other 7sage account?
Is there a disadvantage to applying to law school in January?
