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!

    ProctorU Issues

    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.

    get that bread

    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!!

    Where are y'all taking your test?

    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?

    My test got terminated right before the last section as I was accused of cheating. They stated multiple reasons

    Someone rang my doorbell 3 times during the beginning of Section 2 and then left, I went out during my break to get the letter they left behind and let my cat inside. They then accused me of talking to someone at the door, I promptly explained what happened and then they said:

    I went to the bathroom twice, once during section 1 and once during section 3, and they said that was not permitted. I went to the bathroom 4 times during the June Flex exam and wasn't given any problems. I pee a lot when nervous lol. And when I asked why they didn’t say that they first time they said they allowed me to break the rules the first time and let it slide.

    I'm just beyond frustrated........ after being on the phone with LSAC, then proctorU, then LSAC, LSAC told me I should consider myself lucky that they're even letting me rewrite Oct 21..... Feeling a tad deflated but what can ya do... just sharing my grievances with you guys.

    I took my first PT after finishing the course and scored a 153. I am taking a week off to go over my weaknesses by watching the lessons and practice Q's all over again. Plus drilling an addtl 20 Q's for each weakness. What kind of progress should I expect on my next PT? Or does it vary from person to person? So far I am getting 18/20 19/20 on my drills. I don't want to get discouraged so I am preparing myself for what would be a normal improvement from PT to PT. I kind of feel that doing good with my drills and reviewing all my lessons I could make a 163 on my next PT but that's impossible right? xD

    If anyone can share their experience from their PT progress I would appreciate it!

    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!!!!!!

    143-160

    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 :)

    Hey guys, so my LSAT is in 5 days and ever since I hit the one week mark, my brain and body have been on a downward spiral. It feels like my anxiety meds have just stopped working.

    For background, I have an anxiety disorder that makes me prone to consistent panic attacks, and while I’ve been doing well on all my prep & am only a point below where I want to be on test day, but I can’t stop the panic from taking over and making me not want to look at a single LSAT question.

    I’ve tried to work through it and ignore it, but the stress is making me feel sick and disoriented to the point where I keep getting things wrong that I would’ve gotten correct a few days ago, making me panic more.

    I’m really worried that this is going to ruin my LSAT, and this is my last chance to take it. I keep trying to calm down and breathe & tell myself that logically, it’ll all be okay, but anyone with an anxiety disorder can tell you that your body often ignores your brain.

    I would really appreciate it if anyone else with similar experiences could give advice. Without getting too much into it, I have a lot riding on me doing well and the thought of feeling like this on test day makes me sick with worry.

    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?

    Hello!

    Was curious what people's daily goals of studying are when going through the Core Curriculum when you have a full day of studying planned?

    For me, that's usually the weekend since I work on the week days, I'm curious what your study goals are when you have the full day to study? I'm just curious to see if I'm taking it too easy on myself when going through the Core Curriculum on the weekends. I know everyone studies/goes through the Core Curriculum at different paces but I'm just curious.

    Usually, my goal is to get through 5 Practice Sets (Still going through LR question types) and then blind review them. And then usually this accompanied by something else like watching JY's videos on an example question type or other video types. Is this taking it too light?

    Hello everyone!

    Does anyone know what the differences are between the 7Sage PT Interface and the Law Hub Interface? I've taken all of my practice exams on Law Hub (in the exact interface we get on the actual test). Going forward I'm considering using 7sage's interface because you can take the exams as Flex exams (with the 3 sections) and I think that will be more helpful in simulating testing conditions for me. I just want to know all of the differences between the 2 so I am aware of them and remember them as I go.

    Thank you!
