I read on Amazon that June 2020 LSAT test will be released soon as a practice test.

Does anyone know when this will be released on 7 Sage and LSAC Law Hub?

Thank you!!

Dear all,

How are we doing? I was just wondering what kind of career options is desirable for those who need to pay back law school tuition loan post-graduation. I am planning to go to T-14 law schools, preferably T-3. If I do not get into T-3, I intend to go to a T-14 law school that offers the most generous scholarship. Obviously, I will need to do well on the LSAT. However, I am just curious of whether how you all are planning on paying back the loan. My anticipation is that if we attend one of T-3 law schools, which do not offer any scholarship, we are allotted 200,000+ USD as a loan. Is it safe to say that we try to get a big law job? Or, do we just go for a job that suits the best of one another's interest (which is teaching for me)? My parents only funded for my education up until college years, and I have 50,000 USD as a debt to pay back to my parents for my master’s degree tuition. In other words, I would need to repay about 250,000 USD as a loan for my acquisition of graduate education (JD, MA). I am unsure of which career route I should research into to make my education business fruitful while efficient. Could you please share your insight with this?

Best,

Ken

Hey all. Getting ready to head off to Cornell on Monday, and while I expect to be checking back in from time to time, I'm sure I'll be much less present from here on out. I don't have a "here's all the stuff I learned" post for you, as that's just not me, but to leave you all with one thing: this test is absolutely conquerable... yes, even for you. Just don't give up.

Final office hours... open discussion and August test run-up - 8/8/21 @12pm EST - TBD. Apologies in advance if I'm a bit haggard... I'll be waking up pretty early to be able to do this and hopefully jump start my transition from Hawaii time to EST.

Edit: Thanks everyone!

I'm just curious if anyone feels the same way. Every time I take the LSAT, it feels like a massive race against time and there really isn't a moment where I feel relaxed. It's go-time from beginning to end.

By the end of a section, I just keep thinking "What the heck just happened..." It's like I'm grasping for air by the time I'm done because it's just pure adrenaline from beginning to end.

I wonder if this is normal or if top scorers are just chilling...lol

Hello,

so I've been studying for the lsat since January and am currently scoring 163 on average. Since I'm working full time and have been out of college for +5 years, progress has been slow.

At this point, I'm wondering if there is any realistic chance for me to improve my score to 170 by October. In each section, I'm getting :

LG -3~5 / LG -4~5 / RC -6~7

So this may have been said before and I know that there is no way to really change this but does anyone else feel like sometimes the explanations are like too cursory? Like the instructors will say something like "This answer is just ridiculous", or "That just doesn't make any sense" even when there's clearly a lot of test takers who chose that wrong answer? It seems like the powerscore and certain GMATclub forums are way more in depth about trap answers and certain things. Just want to see if it's only me.

For LR and RC (especially with LR) when I go back and forth between two answer choices I always end up picking the wrong one. In my BR I can come up with all the reasons for picking the wrong one and not the other (right) answer choice. Can someone please share what they do when they are going back and forth between the right answer choice and the second best answer choice? I have tried going back to the stimulus, doing grammar analysis, locating referential phrases, identifying the gap between the premise and the conclusion, analyzing why I didn't pick the right answer choice. But I still end up picking the wrong one timed (and also sometimes during BR). Any suggestion would be really helpful!!

I would totally be willing to buy any merch from 7sage. Especially if its like a t-shirt that says who cares? or something :D

I’ve really been making strides the past two weeks. I’ve gotten my BR score from a month ago on a timed LSAT. How can I jump into the 170’s? Is it purely taking PT’s? Or am I at a point I need to take a more niche course? I think I have LG and mostly RC locked down, and have a couple of questions in each LR that scramble my brain like Sunday morning breakfast. Advice and/or jokes are highly appreciated.

Hey guys,

The upcoming August LSAT is my first LSAT ever and while I'm almost mentally broke from the stress, I've been thinking about how the test will be administered online. So my understanding is that we sit in our own rooms (unless you have accommodation) and a proctor will identify your ID (which I assume we just hold up to the webcam?) then we have to show them a sweep of the room and table which is where I'm a little lost.

I'll be using a standard laptop camera which is incorporated on top of the screen, so do I just carry the laptop in awkward angles and do a little twirl? I feel like this is a little weird and time-consuming if everyone has to do it at the same time.

Also by proctor, does that mean everyone is assigned a human to check ID, table, room etc., or is this an automated message that just plays before the exam?

I'm so sorry if these are newbie questions that are already answered somewhere else online -- I couldn't find them on the LSAC website.

Any insight would help so much! Thank you in advance!

I was thinking of starting doing them as soon as I start the core curriculum on 7sage. However, I heard that it's usually recommended to alter the type of drills you're doing. For example, combining RC with LR, etc. Since the 7sage core curriculum is organized by the three sections, doing drills in parallel would mean separating the RC drills from LR and LG.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on best strategy :)

I just took my first practice test on Lawhub since the actual test is only a little over a week away. I got a score lower than I've been getting and ran out of time on some sections which hasn't happened to me in a while. I'm hoping this is just because this was a new interface. Has anyone else had lower scores when adjusting from 7sage to lawhub?

So i've been studying for about 3-4 months. I'm consistently scoring in the low 160s but would like to break 170. Originally I struggled a lot with logic games so I worked hard on those but the last 3 weeks or so my test scores have gone down from my highest (166) because im missing 7-8 questions each on RC and LR. Originally I was missing far fewer on those sections and i'm feeling frustrated that my score in those sections has gotten worse. I know I can retake the test but any encouragement or advice? I'm particularly struggling on NA questions for LR and just not understanding passages in RC (i.e. I'll get every question right for one passage in RC and then four wrong in the next one). Idk what I'm asking for but any comments are appreciated!

Need a tutor for help with Logical Reasoning. Looking to do a 3-4 sessions a week. Plan on taking the November exam. Please contact me.

For anyone who has taken the lsat flex's recently, what pt do yall think they are more similar to? Ex: 60s,70s,80s? in LR, which question types are more popular?

For respectively the RC sections and the LR sections. For me they take up a lot of time but do help. I was wondering if people actually strictly follow these "tips" given by J.Y during real, timed full tests. Do you get faster at doing them after practicing?

Problem sets and prep tests aren't loading. When I click on one, it shows nothing but the margins and the headings.

Hello :)

I have put aside one month of studying just to focus on taking practice exams. My question to some of you that have taken a large amount of test exams:

Personally, I am going to try and stick it through with the approach that 7sage has (preptests at the end). I used to try and take a preptest every week, but I felt it was useless if I had not learned and drilled ALL of the material needed. I always seemingly answered questions I had not studied and it just seemed counterintuitive.

I want which one do you think helps more and from personal experience, has helped scores increase.

Has anyone taken the remote LSAT at the hotel? If yes, how was the wifi? Did you need to move any furniture or cover the electronics like TV?

Thank you

Hello All! I hope all is well.

My 7sage subscription says that it expires tomorrow (August 6th). Will I still be able to access it all day tomorrow or is today (the 5th) my last day?

Thank you! Best of luck.

I have read through several discussion threads and am seeing a lot of the same thing. If you go too hard the week leading up to your test, you'll likely be burnt out and under perform. I had a big plateau in early July, but have since improved and am scoring above my target score. I worry, slightly, that because I am just now getting PT's above my target, that I need to press on and take at least 4 more PT's. Is this too much? Would I be better off just resting and taking a few drills of problematic questions types? Any advice appreciated!

I am taking the LSAT for the first time in August. Do I have to complete my writing sample before the exam or do I have a few days after to complete it? I saw in June you were able to complete the writing after you complete the LSAT but just want to make sure I don't miss my window! I'd rather not waste time on that until after I've finished the LSAT.

I get that starting a separate thread for each question I have would probably be bad form, but I was wondering if I could start a new thread, say for every 10 (or even 20) of my help tag requests that go unanswered. Of course, after receiving useful help, I'll go update my original request with helpful response from others; that would seem to be the least I could do to "pay it forward".

From the general ethos of this site, my take is that this would be permissible, but I want to make sure I don't run afoul of anything.

Or is the prevailing view here that those unanswered help tag requests should be best left for tutors on an individual basis?

Background: A lot of help tags rarely get answered. I may have at most 2 out of 10 answered so far. And as I am making my way through the curriculum, I often see unanswered comments with help tags from months ago. Perhaps those questions no longer need to be addressed, but I get the impression that having them addressed earlier would have been beneficial to the original requester.

I'm just starting the core curriculum, but I tend to start my day by browsing the list of help tags. Some of these are inappropriate for me to answer (e.g. unfamiliar topics), but as I have retained quite a bit from the college-level prepositional logic course at which I did well, I try to help out where I can, fully cognizant of the fact that I'm also benefiting by having to formulate and distill my own thought processes while I answer the questions.

Started studying in late May with a 150 diagnostic and have improved to scoring in the low 160s, but have regressed to the mid 150s in the couple of 80s PTs I've taken. Before, I was going -3-5 in LR, and now I'm going -11... I just feel so discouraged and like none of the hard work I've put in has helped now. Anyone else experience something similar and overcome it?
