How long should the LSAT Writing Essay be? The reason I am asking is because I have extra time (1.5x), and I don't want to make the writing sample too long. Thanks so much. #help

Been scoring in the low 170s and just cracked mid 170s with last test. RC & LG -0 or -1. Looking to improve on LR -3. Currently reviewing the Loophole again. Ideally, someone at my current level to counter my strengths and weaknesses We can reviews questions via FaceTime. I am in the Central Time. My study schedule is only 2hrs a day divided one hour in the morning and one in the afternoon. Please reach out to me if interested.

I am just about done the CC and I write in August -- what prep tests should I focus on? And roughly how many should I complete before I write?

Use Five Star branded paper. It is thick and not see through. It’s only a small detail, but I hate seeing my pen marks through the paper.

Is the writing sample topic on LSAC's website (about BLZ Stores) the actual topic or just an example?

There seems to be mention of skipping questions in some of the tutorials. I know some standardized tests penalize more for a wrong answer than a skipped question. I'm brand new to the LSAT, so if anyone has any clarity on this point I'd appreciate the help!

I filed a test day complaint after 2 hours delay and experienced multiple connection issues. I’m hoping to receive a retake for June Flex.

Does anyone know if retake LSATs with released scores are on the same day as general administration dates?

Im currently working 25 to 30 hours a week while prepping for my LSAT. My LSAT date is in November. Im beginning to feel stressed and I'm seeking advice on whether i should keep working or stop working until i complete my LSAT. I feel that i don't have ample time to readjust mentally and physically between work and test prep.

Hi!

So I have heard a lot of people are able to work through the lessons/core curriculum pretty quickly and I would like to know how. I previously studied for the LSAT all last summer working myself up from a 147 to a 158, so I'm familiar with the basic, but wanted to refresh myself so I started from the beginning. I am new to 7Sage. I took the August 2020 LSAT and completely choked. After I recovered from that traumatizing experience I finally have the courage to pick up the study materials again. I plan on retaking the LSAT in August and November, but I'm not able to keep up with the suggest schedule, because of all the time it takes me to get through the practice sets. Is there a method you guys use or do you just skip the practice sets? #Help

I am at a loss for words... after countless hours and months of studying today was my day to shine. After a thirty minute delay and seven test interruptions I finally finished. Honestly, I feel absolutely terrible! I was redirect through seven different proctors and technicians throughout the course of my exam time. All I can feel is that my time was cheated! I don't know where to go from here. Is there a place where I can report this? Do I just cancel my scores? Please help!

Hello everyone!

I just took the June LSAT Flex yesterday and really don't feel good about it. I know for a fact that I underperformed and my anxiety got the best of me. My first section was LG (which is usually my strongest section) but I was really nervous during the first game to the extent that I had to let it go and then come back at the end to finish it. After LG, I remembered I felt so bad that I was thinking to cancel the score during the exam. I did finish the four games and guessed on 1 question but I just really am not sure how I did.

My RC and LR were average I would say. I definitely could have done better because I was having some trouble concentrating sometimes during the test. I couldn't sleep the night before the exam so that really didn't help lol.

My PT average has been a 168 since April. And my April Flex score was a 164. After my April Flex I actually felt pretty ok but I got a 164. My fear is that if I don't cancel my score it is likely that it will be lower than my April score since I felt much worse than last time. I worry that the drop will not make my application look good.

And lastly, I have already signed up for August so I am retaking it anyway.

Thank you in advance for your insights and help! And congrats to everyone who has finished the test and best of luck to those who haven't taken it : )

I studied for the LSAT for 3 months last summer but had to stop due to a personal matter. I am now picking it back up in preparation for the August LSAT. Anyone have advice on how to get back into LSAT prep after extended time away??

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a negative stigma against taking the LSAT 3 times?

I just took the June exam and although I didn't feel it was too hard, my nerves got the best of me during LG and I do not think I preformed well.. LG was really the section that I needed to do well on to carry me into my goal score. I am considering signing up for August depending on what my actual score it, and if my score is as low as I am thinking, I will have no choice but to take the exam again.

My question for you all is this: does it look bad to have three tests on your application? Do law schools look at it negatively if you received two not so great scores? I have been consistently scoring above my goal score for the last 7 weeks of prep. I know I am capable of it, I just need to find a way not to let the nerves in. I was honestly considering cancelling this score, but I read that definitely carries a negative stigma. Any knowledge on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

I'm well into week 2 and just noticed the little info button next to the curve that it shows when you click to see a question's right answer. But I'm a little confused by this sentence displayed on there:

"The percentage at the right is the expected chance that someone with the same score as you on that PrepTest getting that question correct"

A couple questions:

I don't see any percentages at the right of the curve, just the black circles that indicate question difficulty, which percentage is this referring to?

When it says "that PrepTest" does it mean someone who got the same score on that particular LSAT that you got on the diagnostic PrepTest taken at the beginning of the course?

I've tried searching the forums but haven't found anything like this.

This might have an obvious solution, but I'm relatively new to 7Sage so please bear with me.

I'm signed up for the August test and have been alternating my PTs between the "simulate flex" option and the default four-section option, because neither seems to be a perfect representation of the August and later LSAT format. The flex option doesn't built stamina for a four-section test, but the default option isn't a 1:1 scoring conversion because there are two graded LR sections. I'm curious if there's a better approach. What have you found to be the best way to simulate the August test format?

(Maybe 7Sage will update the test options soon now that the three-section flex is no more? I'd love to take a four-section test--even if the extra section is always LR because of the previous test format--and have all four sections "graded" so I can review incorrect answers but only have three count toward my actual score.)

Hey guys, i just started studying for the LSAT using 7sage a few weeks ago. I completed the LR Section up till Assumption and weakening questions and then i jumped to LG Curriculum. Do you think i should go order wise or can i complete LG first and then jump to LR? Is it very inter related? Because i've heard that LG should be the first section you learn to tackle as its the easiest to boost your score in.

That's really it - ya'll be warned. I was pretty sad about this :/

I am planning on taking my final lsat in October and hopefully when i get my score, I can submit all my applications. But i was wondering if applying at the end of October is still considered “early”?

Hi everyone!

I just tried to take the writing exam and it did not work at all ( I couldn't even pass the ID test). Although my face was shown on the right hand corner (so my camera was working), nothing happened with the grey box (which I think your ID is suppose to show/be??). I reached out to PSI and after over an hour of tech help, they still couldn't resolve the issue. Did anyone experience anything similar and managed to solve the problem? In the end, they said it was my wifi but checking through ProctorU, it says my download speed is about 10x the minimum. Very confused so any advice is appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi everyone- just finished a practice test and am feeling like I'm just not cut out for this. I've been studying since Feb and am taking the August LSAT. My score has remained the same, if not gotten worse. I feel prepared when studying but when it comes to the test I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.

Wondering if anyone has any tips or ideas as to why I'm unable to improve. Or just if anyone else feels this same way- misery loves company.

I am taking the LSAT on Tuesday and want to make sure that the proctors are muted during your test? If someone can also run through how the whole proctor u experience works on test day, it would really calm my nerves (first time test taker). Thanks so much. #help

I've tried to use the Advanced Search function for the forums. In the Advanced Search page, I want to sort by date. To do so, I've tried to use the "newer than" function, but that doesn't seem to produce any search results. It's the same no matter what search term I use.

For example, if I search "games" and change the "newer than" to "this month", I get no results. Same if I do "this year." And there have obviously been posts containing "games" over the past month and year. Any idea how to fix this?
