Hi friends, I see 7sage has the LSAT score simulator where you input the number of errors and get the LSAT score of the latest PrepTests. It then gives you a score probability. However, I've heard that the new curves are brutal, perhaps due to there being more applicants, to Flex, or even to people having more study-time.

With that in mind, is the 7sage predictor accurate? When it says "latest" PrepTests is it referring to the ones available on 7sage or to the actual ones dispensed by LSAC? The latest PT on 7sage is May 2020, so it is barely taking into account COVID Flex Tests. This could mean that the simulator is outdated and off by now since there's been a drastic increase in test-takers and good score since 2020.

I think it'd be good to know for many of us what actually constitutes a 170 this year. Is it -7 or -6 even?

Thank you!

Fam, can we just get that bread? Winner winner chicken dinner?

The LSAT is the easiest hard thing I've ever seen. It's literally reorienting my entire life and self-image. Holy quac-a-swolley.

The upside is that it transforms me into a monster that'll be equipped to respond to insecure mother fuckers who use dense and convoluted language. Instead of saying "I need to take a piss," the LSAT says "The human species' homeostatic process depends on metabolizing certain fluids and excreting them over the course of time. The metabolized fluids in your body cannot stay within the confines of your stomach linings, which requires an exit strategy via certain organs that vary by sex. I am in the point of the cycle where it needs release." Like b!tch. F(_)CK you. If ya gotta piss just say you gotta take a piss.

This test is simple but I just can't freaken crack it, but let's just get DAT BREAD. Don't succumb to this piece of plankton puke. Let's beat his ass!!

I've been soooo focused on studying for the LSAT that I never even bothered to prep for the writing section. Any tips to help prepare? I took the LSAT this past Sunday and I'm planning on doing the writing tomorrow.

The recent rise in LSAT scores after flex has been factors like this:

  • People studying more (lol)

  • People more comfortable (that explains the 6 point boost!)

  • The unweighted advantage shifted to doing 1 LR

    • While I can see 2 and 3 as plausible, I have a hard time believing that 100 or so students aren't just cheating through tech (won't explain how). I'm pretty sure that the "tech" people monitoring who make $9 an hour aren't super vigilant on eye movements or on something that is suspicious.

    This isn't the craziest thing people have done for the sake of improving. People cheat on the SAT/GRE/online classes all the time with similar tech that's a joke to enforce.

    The amount of people that improved on the 170s tremendously and wouldn't be surprised jumped the line having the percentiles changed.

    Hi everyone,

    Hope studying is going well! I have a question for people who have already taken the online proctored version. Can I click on the clock to make it go away the same way I can with PT's on 7Sage? It really distracts me when I see the clock ticking in the corner of my eye and find myself having to reread way more. Thanks for your help!

    Anyone else encounter ProctorU issues while taking the LSAT in regards to them not being able to have access to your video randomly (even though it was fine in the beginning)? My test today got rescheduled to next week because of this and I have no idea what happened/if I can avoid it next time I write. Super frustrated.

    What is the 10 minute break like? Do I have to keep the camera facing me as I go get myself a snack and stretch? I live in a studio so everything is one room except for the bathroom. Am I allowed to go into the bathroom? Thanks!!!!!!

    Hi,

    I got my results back in September, but I never got the chance to write a post. I wanted to thank all the people who contribute to this community for helping me and others who were/are in my shoes. Also thank you JY for all the videos you made and all the hard work put in here. As the title suggests, I scored a 160. Back in 2019 when I took my first LSAT, I got a 143. My pre-law guidance counselor said most people do do better by more than 3-4 points. I told him I am not most people. I spent all of 2020 isolated in an apartment 7 states away from my friends and family studying so I can come home with a decent score. I returned with a 160. My strength is logic games; I usually only get 1-3 wrong on every section. Although most people do not have the luxury of total isolation, just make sure you are being true to yourself when you study. Your score will reflect how much work and effort you put in. Keep pushing, grinding, and making your dreams come true. If you need some advice DM me or reply to this post.

    Thank you :)

    We're in the midst of test time once again, and I just wanted to take a moment to say that no matter what your outcome, don't forget to reflect on the little victories in the study process.

    I hit 1000 karma points today and was super excited about it XD. While my first thought was "lol sis you need to do something other than comment on 7sage" my next thought was "Why do I comment on 7sage so much?"

    And the answer is simple. It's because you all are such a supportive community. Seeing how much everyone wants to help each other makes me want to help others that much more. So cheers you all 7sagers :) Surely one of the best support systems out there!

    Just general lamenting here. Took the LSAT today and I did not realize quite how uncomfortable it is to take a test and not immediately know your score. I realize everybody is probably in the same boat but holy crap I wanna know my score haha. It like hurts. Anybody have any advice for getting my mind off it in the 2.5 week wait?

    I took J.Y.'s advice and decided to look into meditation for a better mindset for the LSAT. No doubt does low-confidence and anxiety affect your test score; I truly believe that calming down my racing thoughts and incorporating positive self-talk before taking practice tests has helped me tremendously! This meditation exercise is PHENOMENAL...not overly cheesy, and it's geared towards a focused mindset (which I desperately need during RC lol).

    Even if you're skeptical, I suggest listening and trying it, because it could result in an unexpected score increase like it did for me! I plan on using this right before signing onto ProctorU on test day as well. Good luck to everyone!!

    So I've done 2 official tests, both being at home and honestly...I know from working from home for well over a year, close to two years now that I don't work best at home. My house is hard to keep quiet because I live with my dad and brother and they can be noisy. Is it possible to get a proctor and a classroom somewhere like the old days?

    I know that might sound bizarre but like I just perform SO much better when I'm in a space that is absolutely silent. Maybe I'm best off by just saying to my dad and brother, "Hey on this day please just be out of the house for like 3-4 hours?" I would love to take a test at a library but don't think that could be an option?

    Hey, does anyone know how to make your ProctorU stop "bouncing"on Macbook whenever a proctor swaps with another Proctor? It is very distracting. Apple & ProctorU chat were pretty useless
