Sometimes I see like 10 quizzes back to back on the same topic in the curriculum. Once I believe I understand it, should I still be doing the quizzes, or skip over some and not do all of them... What worked for everyone else on here?
Hi!
So, last week I took a practice test and scored a 171, which I was pretty surprised about. I've taken about 4-5 PTs in all and expected to be around the mid 160s given my previous scores.
Today, I took another test and got a 165.
Long story short, is it normal to have this type of fluctuation, or was the 171 a fluke? Do you all experience that type of change in score as well?
I felt equally confident during both, and I'm feeling discouraged now that my score didn't increase as much as I thought it had :(
Since LSAC is still administering the test in a digital format some of JY's tips and tricks that are integrated into the CC, that work great for a paper version of the test, do not translate well to the current format.
The main example I have in mind is when a question stem includes the word except in it. JY tells us to circle the four 'right' answers and bubble in the one 'wrong' answer on the answer sheet. This idea inside the digital test does not translate into high efficiency and clarity like it does on paper.
So, digital LSAT takers, studiers, and teachers what tips and tricks do you have that work particularly well for the digital format of the LSAT?
I know the actual LSAT right now is 4 sections (1 of them being experimental). I'm a bit confused though - if we take a 4 section preptest on 7Sage, we get a score that takes into account ALL sections. But the actual LSAT only scores us based on 3 sections right? Since one of them is experimental?

Guys i'm honestly embarrassed to ask this question because I should know this by now but... is physical scratch paper allowed for use in LG during the current digital lsat? or in any other section?

My laptop screen is small and the built-in webcam/mic is unreliable, so I called and spoke with someone at LSAC this morning to see if an external monitor connected with an HDMI cable to my closed laptop would be alright. They said no, and that my test would be flagged if I used an external monitor and a bluetooth webcam.
The built-in webcam/mic is unreliable because it may randomly turn-off (happens on Zoom occasionally). I guess I can request an LSAC tablet, but does anyone have any thoughts or advice?
Long story short I may need to consider the 5 attempts within 5 years limit and am writing up the appeal now.
The exam I am looking to appeal is a canceled score because I couldn't perform that day due to a medical episode, but it was too late to withdraw because the 24 hour period had passed.
Would love someone to give it a once over if they have time!
Is it possible to blind review a prep test that I took after I falsely stated that I blind reviewed it because I wanted to see what my score was right away? Or can I not go back and blind review it? Thanks! (I think it was probably a stupid idea not to blind review before seeing my score, but I was too impatient...)
Looking to chat with anyone who has had a positive experience appealing the 5 attempts within 5 years policy. :)

PT 84 S4 Q6 has the answer choices mixed up and incorrectly marks the correct answer as wrong. The answers are presented as "A - 2 B- 3 C- 4 D- 5 E- 6" when you take it but the video shows it as "A- 3 B- 4 C-5 D- 6 E- 7". The video says 4 is the correct answer and thus B is correct but this is not what the test when taken shows and thus it marks the correct answer of 4 wrong when you chose C to indicate 4.
Do I have to finish the whole curriculum before taking prep test? I Dont have the time to complete 100% of the curriculum and do lots of prep test before the exam.
Hey all,
I am registered for the February LSAT but I just don't think I will be ready to take. I notice that today is the deadline to register for the March LSAT. But do I need to register today for it? Or can I just reschedule it after the deadline?

I can't use PTO at my new job til after March test so IDK if it's possible for me to do more than one full PT a week! Any advice on this particular situation? I am registered for March and April, considering breaking open the more recent tests as I near test day, thoughts?
Hi everyone,
LSAC recently announced the dates for the next 11 administrations of the LSAT through June 2023.
The remaining start dates for LSAT administrations during the current testing year have been updated as follows:
Friday, March 11, 2022
Friday, April 29, 2022
Friday, June 10, 2022
For the following testing cycle, planned start dates are:
Friday, August 12, 2022
Friday, September 9, 2022
Friday, October 14, 2022
Friday, November 11, 2022
Friday, January 13, 2023
Friday, February 10, 2023
Friday, April 14, 2023
Friday, June 9, 2023
The LSAC stated that in some cases, an additional testing day, or days, may be added and these dates are subject to change. Candidates will receive detailed information regarding test days and scheduling as their registered test date nears. The LSAC will be posting more detailed information in the days ahead about registration deadlines, score release dates, and other important milestones, but they wanted to provide this overview of the 2022-2023 testing cycle as soon as possible to help you plan.
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. While a return to test administration at test centers has been explored, the ongoing public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult, if not impossible, to make any long-term plans to return to in-person testing at this time.
So I was practicing some LR and RC questions and came across a few words where I didn't know the definition. I did try to figure out what their meaning could be following context clues in the sentences, but still couldn't understand them.
An example of one of these words was "pedagogical". In the context of the sentence I couldn't figure how it related to the conclusion, which then threw off my whole understanding of the paragraph. I ended up just guessing an answer and moving on. I then looked up the definition later when doing the Blind Review and got the correct answer.
Does anyone have any tricks on what they do during a situation like this, or do you also just say "whatever" and move on to possibly come back later?

I need some guidance on how to drill LR, LG and RC. Basically I need to practice LR, LG and RC in between PTs and I’m trying to mirror the drill to PTs so I can practice individual sections and hone in on weaknesses. What’s the best way to do this?
My diagnostic was a 139 back in May of 2021. Currently scoring in the high 150s with a goal of 170 on the June LSAT. Currently -8ish on LR, -6ish on RC and anywhere from -1 to -5 on LG. Currently I'm doing 1 LG section per night with either an LR/RC in addition. I also do 1 PT per week. Tips on best way to improve?
So I didn't get a lot of sleep today and Ive been trying to do some new logic games but I feel sluggish and like my braining is buffering everything slowly. I'm gonna wait until I get a good night's sleep before I attempt anymore LSAT stuff but this left me with a question. Do you guys think the optimum way to study the LSAT is only when you get a good night of sleep or should we study the LSAT even if wwe're sleep deprived?
Howdy fellow 0Ls!

I would like to get advices on how can I consistently improve until my test? I'm doing PT's more frequently now leading up to my test but ideally I need to score in the mid to high 150s. I blind review and watch the videos after too but my biggest problem is changing my thought process for LR.
Thank you in advance!
