Everyone appears to have a different opinion. This is my first attempt so I don't know if I should save some! 10? All? Thanks!

Hey,

I was just wondering if there was any specific major that you would recommend to non-native English speakers?

I just finished my first PT after completing the core curriculum. I blind reviewed it and now I'm looking for advice on next steps, do I keep taking practice tests? how much time should I devote to reviewing the missed questions etc. I'm planning on taking the October test and am looking to increase my score by 10+. Any and all advice is helpful!

Is it better to study for the LSAT where I will take the actual exam? The purpose of this would be to get used to the same environment so that I know what to expect on test day in terms of my environment. However, I find that I am more effective and productive at studying when I am at the library, which is where I will not be taking the actual exam. What matters is understanding the material so as long as I understand it, it wouldn't matter where I study right?

I feel like I take PTs too often. Shouldn’t I just be focusing on understanding the material instead of “hitting a certain” score.

Hey y'all!

Can I retake a full PT without deleting my old data. Like when you redo a problem set it says (Problem set 1-1 or 1-2 etc) ?

.

I think I'm blind... I can't find the link to take my LSAT Writing portion on the LSAC LawHub account. Am I missing something super obvious?? Where is it?

So I have just been following the curriculum in order, I am about 9% done at the moment. I scrolled through the rest of it quickly and figured I would find scheduled practice tests throughout. However, I am pretty sure there are none. I only saw prep tests in a group right at the end. Prep tests are not the full length tests, right?

So I have to schedule and take my own full length tests throughout the course?

Leading up to your test date, are you taking PTs in order (like doing PT 80, then 81, then 82, etc)? Or bouncing around? By "bouncing around," I mean taking a PT in, say, the 50s, then maybe one in the 80s, then one in the 70s, etc. I understand that more recent PTs are more representative of modern tests, so I'm not sure that I want to use super recent PTs when I'm still 3+ months away from the actual test. I also don't want to get a false sense of security from older tests if I'm scoring higher on them, however.

Anyone know of a good LSAT tutor? Taking the October LSAT and trying to score at least mid-160s. Thanks!

hi everyone. i'm currently planning on taking the february lsat which would be my first time taking the lsat. i'm prepping from now which gives me about 7 months ~ 26 weeks to prep. i just finished up this first week by taking a diagnostic and sort of practicing the blind review method with another practice exam as i heard it's really helpful among other test-takers. now i'm stuck and not really sure where to begin or how to start with the official course of prep. if it helps, i'm scoring better on logic games than LR and RC and i usually get bored very easily in the RC section and have the habit of rushing through it and getting distracted. i have access to powerscore bibles and official LSAT preptests. i'm not hoping to spend too much money on material but i am willing to purchase one of the study plans from 7sage as i've seen it's significantly more affordable than other prep websites. any help on how to start and how to space out my study days is greatly appreciated. thank you!

When I take PTs, I always get headaches. Is it something normal for others too? That's why I feel like I perform better in timed sections rather than in PTs. Any suggestions on how to not get headaches when taking PTs?

Hi everyone,

We plan to make the auto-builder the default for creating drills in about a week or two. Please let us know if you notice any issues using the auto-builder on your end so that we can correct them before it becomes the default.

Currently, you can access the auto-builder by going to the Drills tab and selecting "Use Auto Builder (beta)." See the GIF below:

​

Please also feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

I plan on doing the CC for the next 2 months (after which I will foolproof 1-35 LG and then after move on to drilling sections/question types then taking pt etc etc etc). But in the meantime while I complete this CC, I’m wondering how many problem sets I should be doing? What did you guys do that was most beneficial? I know I’m supposed to leave some for drilling later, and I plan to do AMPLE drilling of weaknesses way down the road (I’m taking 10 months to study this). So help me out: should I do odd numbered problem sets? Exactly half of them? One easy one medium one hard? A couple easy a couple medium a couple hard? Until I “understand” the question? (which I don’t even know when I could fully say that if I’m only starting with the beginning ones bc they are easy…) Let me know what you did/what you wish you did/what will be the most advantageous for me?

Also, when you did these problem sets during CC, did you do them untimed? 1 min per q? Target time? I’m thinking that I should do them untimed bc I’m still learning the material and don’t want to reinforce bad habits with a clock interference (at least for now). Maybe leave the timed drilling sets of specific questions until after cc? Idk. Let me know if you have any insight into ^^ any of this! Thanks!

Hi! I'm filling out the 7Sage Admission Consulting form, and it says to send our academic transcripts to them. Does anyone know how I can obtain copies of this to send in the email to 7Sage? Would I have to reach out to the individual schools again or is there a way on LSAC that I can obtain copies?

Thanks!

Hi!

I have been stuck at 165 for MONTHS! For 8 tests in a row, I got the exact same raw score and it just fluctuated between 164-166. Now the last 6 I’ve taken have all been 165. The problem is my RC and LR fluctuate between being the lower score. Does anyone have any recommendations to get over this INFURIATING plateau? Thank you!!

I am taking the August LSAT tomorrow, but im pting around 160 - 161 consistently, no where near where I want to be (169+). I am taking the October one since I know I wont get my needed score for my schools. I took up a job and life stuff happened and I fell behind on studying for a month or so (Wont work until October so I can study full time for retake).

Does anyone have advice/tips or routines that worked for them in that amount of time? My averages for each section are -7 LR, -8 LG, -5 RC. I know LG is the easiest to improve quickest, but I really feel like I hit a wall in timed sections and want to plan out a routine, and do NOT want to wait another cycle to apply. Any advice and tips are appreciated, thanks!

How much can I realistically improve by then? I’m aiming for high 150s to low 160s.. LG was my best section. I struggled with LR and RC

Hello,

I was debating whether to keep up the pace with PT'ing or to slow down. I wanted to get through at least over half of all the available PTs before my test. However, I found myself struggling more as I moved up into the 70s. Based on your experience, do you think it's much better to slow down? I am finishing BR before the next scheduled PT, but I think I would get more out of it if I slow down. I would appreciate any advice! Is it possible to get a good score without going through many PTs?

Kind of a silly question but when taking the LSAT flex is it allowed to talk to yourself? I find it easier to do the questions when I can read them out loud ^_^. Also can you use cntrl + F to search for words?

Hi,

Kind of just wondering the question above. I really want to take a full exam today, but I think if I bomb it/score lower than I have been that might mess with my head a bit. Im wondering if maybe I should just do four random sections from random PT's so that way I don't actually get a 'score' so it can't mess with my head. Any advice? Not sure if im just gonna burn myself out for the exam on Saturday.
