Hi All,

First and foremost, hope everyone is having a great week and I wish November LSAT test takers all the best. We got this.

I received an email from LSAC today as I will be writing the November exam. The email had information on how to reach LSAC on test day if tech issues arise.

I really hope I will have a smooth test day experience. If I do need to call LSAC on the test day due to tech issues, does anyone know if I can have my phone on speaker while I am calling LSAC for help given that I am still being recorded by ProctorU? I just have very bad service on my phone and have to use speaker at times to be able to even hear the other party on the line.

I am unable to upgrade my phone plan at this time due to finances.

Thank you and best of luck!

  • How do you know when you’re done studying?
  • How can you balance a full-time job with the LSAT? What about school?
  • How many PTs should you take and how often?
  • If you understand the questions, how can you practice getting faster?
  • You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.

    :warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

    I just finished taking a practice flex exam and I received a pretty low score. When I inputted the number of incorrect answers I received into score conversion statistics I received a way higher score and I was wondering why that is?

    Hello 7Sage Community,

    I already have an LSAT Writing on file, so my Nov score will not be held up from release. But my question is: will I still have the opportunity to take an additional LSAT writing (the one paired with my Nov test) AFTER LSAC releases my score? Or as soon as the score is released (b/c of my previous LSAT writing on file), will my option to take an additional one go away?

    I understand the rules around not having any LSAT writing on file and how that relates to score release - so this question is not relating to that situation, but rather to the specific scenario described above.

    Would appreciate any words of wisdom -- Happy studying!

    I was at a peak of 165 about 3 weeks ago. I was originally signed up for the October test, but I didn't feel ready. I wish I would have kept it and then also signed up for November. Same amount of $$. Now I'm down at 155 the last three PTs I've done in the last five days. I was performing -3/-2 on LG and RC. Then this one I took today my LR was only -5, but LG and RC were the worse sections. I also felt really confident with both those sections. Only one passage stumped me. One game was tricky but I felt really good about all but two or three questions in those respective sessions. I've worked on LR more the last two weeks since it's my weakest area, and I've really only had time to tackle a few question types. I work full-time and just attended a funeral that I had to travel out-of-state for. I didn't expect to be learning a ton, but now the test is this Saturday, and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

    Hope this post finds everyone well!

    I have plateaued at the 158-160 range and am looking to jump to the mid-high 160s before the January test. I am averaging -7 on LR, -10 on LG, and -7 on RC. Any tips on what worked for you?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey everyone,

    Is there a deadline for completing the LSAT writing? Like can I do it after I take the test? Or do I need to get it done before test day? I know the LSAC wants me to complete it ASAP, but I'd rather not. Kind of rude of me I guess, but I'm just wondering if I could do it in the week after the test so I don't have to add any stress to my plate for this week (taking it Friday). Thank you for any info!

    I just finished my fifth PT and am really happy with how I'm progressing, but still have a lot of room for improvement. I've been diligently using my analytics to identify which content sections I need to review/what types of questions to drill, but am wondering if it's better to do my studying in sections (ex. do 5 days of RC, three days of MBT/MBF questions, 2 days of RRE questions, etc.) before my next PT (I've been taking one every two weeks), or jump around (RC one day, MBT/MBF the next, RRE the third day, LG the fourth, then back to RC, for ex.).

    Any ideas? I really want to study as efficiently as possible but am still not sure what works best for me.

    Hi Everyone!

    So I'm a bit confused on the scoring. I took PT 91 and PT 92.

    PT 91 I received a 54/75 which was a 158

    PT 92 I received a 53/75 and my score was a 159.

    How is this possible? I missed -10/RC and -9/LR on both, then one I missed 3 on LG and the other I missed 2. How did I get a higher score when I missed more questions??

    I took my diagnostic 3 months ago and got 151 for actual score, 164 for BR. Three months later, I have gotten through 35% of the material and decided to take my first PT. I was sure I'd score much higher than diagnostic because I was doing really well with LR and LG. However, I scored 150... literally one point lower than my diagnostic. I didn't even bother doing the BR because I was so depressed over the test.

    Even though I've gotten MUCH better at answering questions correctly, my timing has gotten MUCH worse. For example, in LG section I only had time to do 2 of the 4 games. For the games I did finish, I got nearly all the questions right. But of course that doesn't mean much when you're leaving half the questions blank. So why am I getting slower? I feel very demoralized right now..

    Hey! Looking for a weekly paid LSAT tutor. Does anyone have any recommendations? Am looking to take my test in January or February. Have been studying off and on the last few months, but would like to have some 1:1 assistance. Am in Washington D.C., so can do in-person, but am happy to do virtually as well!

    Why do I feel like when I sit down to take a PT, all my practice dissipates into the air. I take timed sections frequently, and generally I can pull through them with an acceptable number of incorrect answers. But when it comes to a PT, its like all the studying I put in cannot be applied.

    Is it anxiety? What is it about a PT that is so different? I'm just trying to figure out what is nerves and what is a studying issue?

    Does this happen to anybody else?

    Hi,

    I just wanted a little clarification on the scoring of PTs. For example, when I take a practice test and I get a -25 and it results in a 156, why then when I select getting -25 on the score conversion table it says it would result in a scaled score of 162? Is the scaled score the number law schools will see? Which one most closely conforms to my final score? Which one is the score that matters?

    I see 156 and I panic, but then I see 162 and I think, eh, that's not too bad. I'm a little confused.... I just want to know hypothetically if I performed with -25 in test day what would my score really translate to.

    Hello everyone,

    I recently injured my rotator cuff, and although I'm in the beginning of taking my doctor's recommended medicine, I am concerned that I will not be healed by the time of the November LSAT next weekend. Fortunately, the injury is not in my dominant arm, but it is very uncomfortable moving and even to an extent sitting still.

    My question is, God forbid my injury is causing me a lot of discomfort on test day, and it distracts me and in turn negatively impacts my test score, is this something I should write a LSAT addendum on? And if so, should I include a note written by my doctor corroborating my injury and its symptoms?

    What do you think?

    Thank you

    Hi everyone! I'm Raphael, a manager with 7Sage's tutoring program. I'm joined by manager Scott, and tutors Nick and Aastha. We'll be answering questions about the LSAT for the next two hours, so ask away!

    EDIT: And that's a wrap! Thanks everyone for coming. Stay tuned in the next few days for info on our subsequent AMA on November 17 (which will be a live Zoom call)!

    I (Raphael) am a 2020 graduate of Georgetown University. I’m involved in running a debate tutoring company that has worked with hundreds of students. I currently live in Taiwan, where I teach debate and am working to build up a debate circuit as a Fulbright scholar. I scored a 174 in October 2020.

    Scott has spent the past 12 years in the classroom. He decided to go to law school and made a 180 on the LSAT on his first try in June.

    Aastha is a junior at the University of Florida. She is involved at her University’s Mock Trial team, does research in criminology, and is planning on applying to law school in the 2022 cycle. She scored a 173 in June 2021.

    After earning his degree in philosophy, Nick hopped around South America for a few years before diving into the world of the LSAT. With targeted studying and practice Nick ultimately scored a 176 on the LSAT (an increase of 15 points from his initial practice test score) and Nick believes that anyone can improve in a big way with a proper approach to studying. When he's not teaching the LSAT, Nick is either building fun computer apps, watching sci-fi movies, running, or long-distance trekking through the mountains.
