Hi, I am approved for my accommodations, and it is my understanding that the most time you can get is 100% extra time but, going through practice test I see an option for 186% time? Is it possible to get accommodations for 186%? or is 100% extra time the most LSAC can provide?

I have MS and am blind.

If the people who record the videos for 7sage can read this...omg please speak slower and not so close to the microphone lol! It's like you combine one word and make it into three because you want to get the questions over with. And saying "this is a really easy game...".........yes, it is easy for you because you are teaching it...we are learning it so it may not be easy for some yet.

Maybe it's just me who feels this way...but whew.

I'm signed up for the November LSAT. I'm scoring 155-159 on them. I have an internship that starts on January 6th so I cannot take the January LSAT because I will be busy. If I choose to take the January one, then I'll have to cancel my internship but that means I'll get a better score. Or, I'll have to push myself until test day and keep the internship. I am so nervous I won't get a good score though. Can someone please offer some advice?

My title says it all, but does anyone have insight if withdrawing a LSAT registration count towards the 3-limit in a testing year? I have taken the LSAT twice and prefer more time to hit my target score instead of rushing to take it a third time.

The official website says, "withdrawing your registration will prevent an absentee notation from appearing on your LSAC file, but you will not receive a refund."

Other LSAT prep services have mentioned no adverse effects if one withdraws.

If anyone could help clear this up, it would be appreciated.

Hello all! Was the June 2021 LSAT part of the previous testing cycle or the current one? I took the June 2021, October 2021, and will be taking November 2021. In case I need to take the January 2022, my eligibility will hinge on whether or not June 2021 counts towards this or previous year’s testing cycle (given the 3 times per cycle testing limit). I’d appreciate any insights!

Hi all! I am going through it right now trying to figure out what would be best thing to do so any advice would be welcome. I took the October LSAT and did not do as well as I had hoped. My GPA is better than the median for all of the schools that I am looking at but my LSAT score is about 4-5 points away from the median LSAT score. I am signed up for the November LSAT but I'm not sure if I can raise my score up to the 4-5 point mark... Would it be better to push it back to January and apply later or take my chances on the November LSAT and hope for the best. This would also be the 3rd LSAT I am taking. Good luck to everyone also taking the November LSAT!

I am confused. The LSAC.org says that "The test will have three scored sections — one section each of Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning — and we will return to our pre-COVID practice of including a fourth, unscored variable section that will allow us to validate new test questions for future use and ensure that they are free from any form of bias. But I read other forms and they said there are 5 sections as 2 LR, 1 LG, 1 RC and 1 unscored section. So are there 4 or 5 sections totally?

Apologies if this has been asked before, any eta on when 91+ and 92+ will be available to review or score on 7sage? Just finished 91+ & plan to do 92+ before November as these are the most recent tests avaliable.

I'm guessing LSAC hasn't released a curve so it would be kinda hard to score it. Anyone remember Powerscore's prediction or have a prediction for the curve? I breezed through the LG & LR for 91+ but that RC was one of the hardest I've had. Usually average -2/3 but got -5 on this RC. The taxidermy and Patent protection passages were brutal.

Just looking for general thoughts on 91+ and if anyone wanted to discuss/compare?

Hi all,

In an effort to keep myself accountable, I am going to share some concepts that I was initially unfamiliar with onto this forum. The purpose of this is to not only make sure that I am not merely spewing out memorized facts, but also to help others who are unfamiliar with Economics. If there are any errors, please let me know. If you don't find this helpful, feel free to not read.

Inflation

Inflation is the economic concept of prices constantly going up. An example of this is how in the movie Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy is known as one of the richest men in Britain even though his income was only $10,000 in 1813. Inflation highlights the question: Why are prices going up?

Why does Inflation happen?

Inflation happens as a result of at least one of the following concepts.

  • Cost-push Inflation
  • Cost-push inflation is when businesses have a greater increase in costs incurred, and therefore as a result need to push some of these costs onto customers in order to keep their businesses surviving. These increased costs can be incurred as a result of workers demanding more pay, raw material prices (such as oil) going up, etc.

    2.Demand-Pull Inflation

    An easier way of remembering demand-pull inflation is recognizing that it is when "there are too many dollars, and too few goods". Basically, it is when consumers have much money and are all chasing after goods that cannot keep up with the demand. Higher prices are the result of the demand being too high.

    3.Printing Money

    Governments want to see their economy doing well, and to do this, they may print more money and have an increased circulation of money going around. However, with the increase of money circulation, the value per note becomes less. Instead of this allowing consumers to buy more items, this just causes prices for individual items to go way up (for example, one set of bananas may have costed $2 before the circulation of money, but now $5 because the value of the dollar decreased as more notes were produced). The Window of Opportunity is the point of time where while more money is circulating, prices are still low since it takes time for the value of money to decrease.

    Interesting fact about the Window of Opportunity:

  • People can grow the economy during this time by spending more and thus allowing for businesses to hire more workers. This is all before the Window of Opportunity "closes" and the value of money decreases (AKA, time catches up with the new value of money).
  • How can governments cause inflation (prices going up)?

    Governments can cause inflation by decreasing taxes, thereby allowing people to have more disposable income to spend. With this disposable income, in the longer term, increased demand causes increases in prices.

    NOTE: If I got anything wrong here or if in anyone has anything they wanna add to help others, please comment.

    Let me preface with the fact that I'm SO grateful for my 170 and worked really hard for it! However, given my LSAC GPA (3.73) it looks like I'm still under both medians at most of my top choices/dream schools. I'm already signed up for the November test since I planned to use it as a back-up if things went bad in October. But now I find myself in this awkward place with JUST below median numbers. I guessed on a few questions on the last game of my October test (twas a tough one), which makes me feel like I might've left some points on the table. I'd realistically only be looking to marginally improve to a 171 or 172 (not really shooting for 175+). That being said, who knows, my score could go down.

    For context, I'd really like to end up at NYU, Northwestern, Michigan, or Georgetown. I have 3 years of work experience at a law firm, am a first-gen student, my UGPA was a 3.86 because it didn't include study abroad courses (LSAC did), and I think I've got a pretty good personal statement and diversity statement (but so does everybody).

    Long story short: to retake or not to retake? Any advice would be helpful, as none of my friends or family understand my dilemma.

    Hello everyone,

    I am on the verge of freaking out because the GPA LSAC generated is so much lower than what I ended up with when I graduated. I went to community college before transferring and I had to retake several classes because I was still a child who wanted to hang out with my friends more than study if you know what I mean... When I graduated from my university I had a 3.69, but LSAC generated a GPA of 3.19... I can't find any straight answers on whether or not law schools will be placing a lot of weight on the LSAC generated number.

    Which GPA do they really care about?

    Help! Now I'm so terrified. I had always considered my GPA to be "safe" for where I was applying, but now I don't even know anymore....

    Logged into ProctorU to schedule the November test. Only available slots for any of the days appear to be before...8am eastern time.

    Great, so now I have to ask my entire household to get up early on a Sunday and get out of the house before 7:50am (which already sucks because I always PT better later in the day and wanted to take the test early afternoon) all because of this awesome examination system we all pay out the butt to enjoy.

    I know, I know, I assume the November test is more subscribed than the others due to admission cycles. But, holy crap! I'd understand if I'd left it late but, dude, the scheduling only opened checks calendar today?? I got the email reminder at lunchtime while I was at work. God only knows what scheduling options there would be left for someone who had the audacity to wait a couple days...

    Ah it's whatever but after the sheer nightmare of October's exam, this leaves a really sh*tty taste.

    Hello all!

    I am a 2L at Georgia Law. Figure offer advice for anyone interested. Feel free to shoot me an email jonah.******@gmail.com! 7Sage was such a resource for me, always looking to give back.

    Currently doing a Semester in Practice with the Department of Justice for the fall semester. Great experience so far! Last summer I worked for a Federal District Court Judge (Northern District of Georgia) and an Immigration Law Firm (Latin American Association in ATL, GA).

    I was 154 LSAT, 3.5 GPA, small state school, 4 years work experience, URM status. Any other stats, just ask!

    Look forward to answering any questions or comments you may have. I will not be checking my account here often, so email is best.

    Best,

    Jonah

    Hi everyone! We recently launched an LSAT tutoring program designed to offer coaching and guidance from top instructors. I’m Raphael, and I’ll be doing an AMA with three of my fellow tutors on November 4th. We’re 99th-percentile scorers (with a 180 among us!) who love all things LSAT. We’re excited to answer your questions about the test, our own LSAT journeys, 7Sage’s new tutoring program, and everything in between.

    See you Thursday!

    See the AMA here (https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/30930/lsat-ama-w-7sage-tutors-starting-now-thurs-nov-4-7pm-edt).

    Was averaging 168 a month out before the October exam and got a 158, worse than any PT I had taken after September began. I quickly cancelled since I was lucky enough to buy score preview, but I am very humbled right now. Going to keep working hard for November and possibly January for my goal score of 170, but I'm fighting inner dialogue that I'm not capable of reaching my goal. For any of you who underperformed in this iteration: I genuinely empathize with you and am sorry that you're going through the motions of processing that right now. We just have to stay true to the grind, take care of ourselves, and live to see another LSAT :)

    I'd like to work through each question for a group of questions (all MP from first bulk of tests) but with the option to see the correct answer choice for each question after selecting a question. Right now I can only see the option to work through x amount of the questions, do blind review, and then see the AC's for each.

    Can an admin #help me out with this one? Is it possible with the way 7sage is designed?

    Thanks!

    I took my first lsat last year august 2020 , though I wasn't ready since it gave me the option to preview my scores. Now I've taken my second exam in october 2021 and want to take one more in November for my goal score. I was advised that I take maximum of 3 lsats and was wondering if the first one also counts as a take?

    I've been studying for this test for the past 2 years and have taken it 3 times already (154 -> 156 -> 164). The score I got yesterday is 164 and I want to take the Jan test to increase my chances for some of the schools. Does anyone have advice on how to improve your score if you have no more fresh PTs left?

    I've went through PT's until 80 twice, and 80-90 once. I definitely remembered some answers when I was studying for the Oct test tho, so I'm not sure what I can do to improve. I can definitely perfect my LG and maybe my LR by drilling Qs, but RC will be tough to improve on since I remember every single freaking passage lol.

    ps. my best section is LG, worst is RC

    It seems as though my time here has officially come to an end. I've spent a lot of time with this test and on this website, and in a sad, mildly sadistic way, I think I'll miss them both. That said, I'm looking forward to enjoying my newfound free time and not dreaming in logic games anymore.

    I'll spare you all a lengthy post containing my half-baked LSAT wisdom and will just invite you to PM me if you have questions or would appreciate some of the aforementioned semi-reliable guidance (I can also answer some questions in this thread if y'all have any). Thank you all for your discussion posts, answer explanations, and shared commiseration. The LSAT journey was an arduous one and I know my misery loved your company.

    Best of luck to those who will soldier forth in their battle against the test, and a heartfelt congratulations to those who are also bidding a final goodbye to the LSAT.
