Here I am, a day before taking my first official LSAT, finding out that I should have applied for Accommodations due to Fibromyalgia.

Lesson learned; certain rights and privileges are almost useless unless an individual is informed of their ability to exercise said rights and privileges.

Hoping others who need Accommodations won’t make the same mistake I did.

Good morning everyone :)

For those who have gotten from the low 170s to the high 170s in a few months, I would love to hear your strategies. I have cleared my summer so I can give 110% focus to the LSAT during June, July, and August, with the goal of applying at the beginning of the admissions cycle in September.

A little about me: I got a 154 diagnostic score in the spring of 2021. I studied the basics from June 2021 to October 2021, but burnt out because of work/school and took a four-month break. At this point, I was testing in the 165-168 range.

In February 2022, I registered for the April 2022 LSAT to motivate myself to get started again. I am a senior in college with a double major, so I studied as rigorously as I could while balancing other academic responsibilities. A few weeks ago, I PT'd at a 173 (174 BR) after reading Ellen Cassidy's LR Loophole workbook from cover to cover. Realizing that I wanted to jump from a 173 to 178+ in a matter of days, I got super panicked. My following PT was a 168 because my anxiety was so high. I came to terms with the fact that I'm not ready to test yet, withdrew from April, and now plan to take August.

I deal with chronic illness and have high levels of anxiety, plus sensory processing issues. So, things like self-care rituals and testing/studying environment really matter to me. What should I do with these next few months of my time?

To other folks in this community with anxiety/health issues, how do you manage them? The pressure is on for August since I'm applying in September and I want to make it count.

Thank you for your support!!!

Hi all,

I feel a little stressed, as I booked my second LSAT for tomorrow, and got more overwhelmed with school than I previously thought I would be.

I scored 159 on my first LSAT largely due to nerves and some test day mistakes. I am PTING from 164-165, but I am hoping to finish with a 166-167 range.

I feel pretty stressed, and want to feel ok about taking a third test if I need to, but I am not sure if it is work the risk. Anyone have any advice on this? if I do decide to take it again, I will practice all summer and see if I can make significant improvement.

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you so much for your help!]

I have a question, do you think it would be beneficial to do all four sections on a prep test since the LSAT brought back the experimental section, or do you think I should stick with simulating the modern LSAT?

The LSAC recently announced that the registration for the August 2022 to June 2023 LSAT is currently scheduled to open on May 12, 2022.

Once registration for the 2022-2023 testing cycle opens, candidates will be able to register for any of the following test administrations:

August 2022

September 2022

October 2022

November 2022

January 2023

February 2023

April 2023

June 2023

Please visit the LSAC's website for more information regarding registration deadlines for each of these test administrations, as well as deadlines for requests for testing accommodations or testing assistance.

In an effort to assist test takers currently registered for the April administration of the LSAT who may wish to change their test date, the LSAC has extended the registration deadline for the June 2022 LSAT until Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Test takers currently registered for the June LSAT who would prefer to switch to a future administration can withdraw from the June test and then re-register for the test of their choice once registration opens in May. If a test taker withdraws by Thursday, April 28 at 11:59 p.m. ET, they will receive a full refund of the June 2022 fee. If a test taker wishes to change their test date from June 2022 to a subsequent date after April 28, however, they will not receive a full refund and will be charged a test-date-change fee.

Given the expressed preference of the substantial majority of test takers, the LSAC will continue to provide the LSAT in an online, live remote-proctored format.

I was wondering if anyone knows whether we can take US tests even if we are physically located in other regions with different time zones? My initial thought would be: as long as we can match the time zone of the online proctor, there shouldn't be any issue?

Also, is there any difference in the test itself among different regions?

Appreciate it if anyone can input on this. Thanks!

I have come to a conclusion that with the test of LSAT, it is not about the content of writing but rather knowing the techniques of how to solve each question as fast as possible with minimal error. Could experts in this forum please elaborate more on some techniques that we could possibly learn?

Hello all!

Just curious about everyones experience with diagnostic, studying timeline, practice test average, and LSAT score. Also curious what it took you to get to that final score (or to where you are ready to take LSAT and have had consistent average).

Background: I am 32, a stay at home mom to a 1 year old and have just started my LSAT journey after postponing for so long. My study schedule is 5 am wakings to get in 1-2 hours before baby is up and I usually study during his naps, so I average around 2-4 hours per day (if I am lucky!). Weekends are all over, with mostly taking one day off to do everything else I need to do. I started 7sage in September of 2021, but only realistically started in February (life kept getting in the way). I am still working through the course, which is obviously not going as fast as I would like and was hoping I would be done for now.

How long, how often did you study before you took the leap and took the test? Where/when did you see the biggest improvement?

I just accidentally revealed the results prematurely, and while I'm pretty pleased with my score, there's plenty left to improve. Is there a way to keep the original test results and only reset the BR? If not, I'll just use a hard copy of PT 36 for my BR, but I will miss the insights gained from doing it here on 7Sage.

Thanks :)

After a lengthy study journey for the LSAT and applying for two cycles, I finally got acceptances and scholarships from three high-ranked law schools and picked one based on my needs. I cannot thank 7Sage enough for my LSAT study and for the helpful posts on the admission process. The best way to show my gratitude to the study community on 7Sage is by offering some free one-on-one tutoring sessions to students in need.

My LSAT score is 169. But I got that score from a no-sleep night before the test day, and three internet crushes on the test day. With that said, my practice PTs' average is 173. My strongest suit is the LG. I usually finished section 0/-1 with 3-5 minutes left on my clock. I feel confident about LR too. I can do a medium-difficult section -1 to -3 with 1 /2 minutes left. I struggled with the reading section, but I improved my performance from -10 to -3/-5 and finished all passages on time.

Feel free to PM or leave a comment below if you have any questions about studying for the LSAT or applying to law schools. I'd love to share my experience and opinion.

Taking test for the second time this week, curious if anyone attempts to apply this late for this cycle? I am planning on applying for 2023, but just curious as I have heard that people do indeed apply this late and get lucky.

Hey 7Sagers,

A new single mother here of a 6-month old baby girl in my early 30s. I've been working in the legal field as long as I've been avoiding this test lol! So, after putting off the LSAT for a decade for grad school, work, and marriage, I'm finally back into the LSAT game and really want to complete my journey with the LSAT. My LORs, transcripts, and everything is in but the LSAT! I really want to get into law school and want to inspire my little girl. Any words of advice for motivation would be greatly appreciated! Any other mommas out there who kept continuing their journey? It's really hard to study with a little one, but she gives me so much strength to finally face this exam again. My strongest section is LG, just got The Loophole to read for LR, and just a confession--I get discouraged by the RC section because although I have a MA in English, I hate the RC passages on another level lol! It's been really hard to improve in this section the most. But nonetheless, I'm ready to finally get this test out of the way to start my law school journey and am looking forward to reading your tips! My target is 165+ and wish to take the Oct 2022 exam. Thanks! :)

Hello, I quit my job in October and have been studying full time since for the June LSAT, however I was not at all consistent at first and am barely finishing up the core curriculum soon and do not feel like I will be ready for June so I am thinking of taking the August LSAT instead. However, applications begin a month after which leaves little time to prepare my personal statement and letters of rec from professors. Is it likely to hurt my chances if I don't apply within the month applications open this cycle? My undergrad GPA is not good so I am really relying on my LSAT score to get into schools (aiming for 168+, first pt at 155).

Would anyone recommend taking the June LSAT anyways just so I can see where I am at and know how to prepare for August?

Hello,

if you offer tutoring in LR or RC, please send me a PM. Plan on taking the June Exam and would like to do a few sessions a week until then.

How many sections do yall recommend taking for the PTs? Seems like there's an option to simulate the modern LSAT with the 3 scored sections which (correct me if I'm wrong) might give a more accurate score estimate. However, it might be better to simulate all 4 sections for stamina building and mimicking actual test day. So... what do yall think?

@7sage staff is there an option to take all four sections but have only 3 sections count towards the score?

I plan to take the June LSAT, and I want to ramp up my PT taking in the most leading up to it. However, I find I'm just barely able to manage one a week. I work full-time, so I take one PT over the weekend and use the rest of that time to Blind Review, go over explanations for tricky questions or anything I missed, and drill.

Every time I've tried to take a PT after work, I find that I'm far worse. I'm tired, I'm hungry because I need dinner, and my ADHD medication is starting to wear off, so it doesn't feel representative of my true abilities. I'm wondering how others work or are in school balance PT time with other responsibilities. Thanks in advance!

I wish 7sage could provide passage-only view in RC like the real test!

I found it helps outline the passage better in my mind.

Curious how many people actually uses this function on test day.

Hi everyone, I apologize if this is a bit long. I'm going to begin taking practice tests soon to hopefully take the test around August to October of this year. I've been researching and debating how best to do practices tests between LawHub and 7Sage. I now seek the opinion of the 7Sage community.

I am leaning towards doing them all on LawHub to use the correct testing format in the self-paced mode. This would involve pausing each section (instead of submitting it) once my 35-minute window is up to avoid answers since LawHub doesn't hide your score/correct or incorrect answers. Then I would blind review the paused sections and input my answers on the 7Sage convert to paper option. Of course, on the other hand, doing the tests on 7Sage is nice since you don't see your score and have the blind review interface.

Another dilemma is since LawHub has all of the PTs in the same order (I believe it's LG LR LR RC), is that another reason 7Sage is better since their tests are in the actual order real tests were? Does anyone have experience doing only ones in the same order on LawHub, or do you purposely do them on 7Sage to have different section orders? I'm unsure if it would be a good thing to take every practice test in the exact same order on LawHub.

Also, during my research, I had seen a post by a 7Sage staff member on a Reddit forum who recommended that we take 90% of our PTs on here and 10% on LawHub.

What method do you guys personally do, and what website do you use to take practice tests?

Hi everyone!

I can't see any explanations for LR an LG for this PT, only RC.

Do they not exist or is it a technical error?

Thank you for the help!

Hi there,

For the past couple days, the video explanations for Preptest 86 have been missing. I'm so confused on if this is an issue from my part or if other people are experiencing the same thing. If the 7Sage admin could let me know, that would be great :) Studying for April right now and I really wanted JY's insight on the reading comp passages, but they're nowhere to be found.

For context, I am taking the April 30 LSAT. Is there such a thing as taking too many practice tests between now and the actual test (11 days) that would do more harm than good? Doing it for the endurance practice.

Or would I be better off doing fewer practice tests and more drills on weaker areas instead?

Thanks in advance!

I'm experimenting with printing out practice problems, timing myself, doing BR, and checking results. I've done other sections electronically, but experimenting with being able to circle/cross off/diagram on paper. I'll change back in a couple of weeks to be in sync with actual test taking format. But any way to put this score into the sections to be saved in a not time consuming way?

Does your gpa matter more than your lsat score?
