Hi Everyone,

I'm taking the LSAT at a hotel because the wifi at my house is kind of spotty. I was wondering if I can have the TV in the room or if I should call the front desk to have it removed. Also trying to pick a spot in the room where I am going to take the test so anything else that might be relevant in terms of what I can / can not have near me or in the room. Thank you!

    This one is for the Admins of 7Sage. So, November 13 is when I'll be taking the LSAT for the very first time. After that, regardless of score I get, I want to take a break from the LSAT and studying. As such, I've cancelled my subscription to 7Sage as of today so I can take a break and save some money.

    However, I do plan on taking the test again if I don't get the score I wanted and would like to use 7Sage in March 2022 to study again. Will I have the option to pick things up where I left them or do I have to make a new account or something else entirely?

    7sage looks great, I just feel overwhelmed with how much it has to offer and how to really get started on it. I've had probably the worst LSAT journey and have my exam this Friday, although I do not feel as prepared as I would like to and know that I will most probably be taking it again in January but self studying can only take you so far! I would love some more insight on what you think I should do

    A healthy, positive, and optimistic mindset is essential to these last few days of preparation and overall, going into this exam.

    You are going to to do great.

    You will stay positive and optimistic.

    You will remain calm and collective.

    You will not have any negative thoughts.

    You will not exert any negative energy.

    You will only think about getting a 180.

    YOU GOT THIS!

    You will do amazing, I BELIEVE IN YOU!

    Stay motivated, stay driven, and MOST IMPORTANTLY BE CONFIDENT IN YOUR DECISION MAKING!

    To a productive day and week, LETS SHOW THE LSAT WHO IS BOSS!

    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.

    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.
