Best of luck to everyone this weekend taking OCT LSAT. Listen to this song before your LSAT. It's cheesy but it truly does motivate you. It hypes you up and shifts your mindset into "anything is possible" and that you're a "bada**" that will kick LSAT's butt.

Taking my LSAT in November now due to family obligations, but just wanted to bring in some positive vibes :)

Lay down and clear your mind.

"I'm so powerful

I don't need batteries to play

I'm so confident

Yeah, I'm unstoppable today"

Hey everyone, I take the October lsat this afternoon and I wanted to do some warm up questions this morning but 7sages site isn’t loading on my laptop. My wifi is fine and other websites are working perfectly. Not sure what to do. The site will just display “This page is not working right now” after attempting to load. Let me know what y’all think. I’m posting this from my iPhone by the way.

Thanks!

ProctorU Bouncing

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

Is it a bad idea to take a practice test tomorrow (3 days before my actual LSAT)? I feel like I have not taken enough practice tests and it would be good practice but I keep reading that it is a bad idea. For me, I still have trouble letting go of hard questions and moving on. I think taking one more practice test could help my timing... Or would it just hurt me? What do you think?

I am writing this to make sure I have it right, if not please correct me. When it comes to weakening questions, you are supposed to attack the premise. For strengthening, you are supposed to attack the support. Right? I was going through one of the lessons on strengthening and got confused from the lesson on weakening questions.

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knows if they'd be allowed to mute the LSAT on test day so that one can speak what they are reading out-loud. I find out-loud reading to be more dramatic for me personally and allows me to focus better (kind of like touching the words with your mouse or pencil).

Thanks in advance on the input and discussion.

Help with score drop

I was doing well on practice LSATs and was scoring in the mid 150's (couple weeks ago I got a 155) until I took a recent practice LSAT and scored a 145. My blind reviews at at a consistent 165 so I know what I am doing but I'm not sure what went wrong with this recent LSAT. Does anyone have any study advice on concerning a large score drop?

LSAT Plateau

Hi all,

I have taken 3 practice tests in the last 2 months and I have gotten the same score on all three. Is there any advice on how to break this plateau? Some strategies I can implement in order to increase my score 5-10 points. Any advice is appreciated!

It's funny how the most logic-centered exam organization made the most illogical decision to rescind students exam just because LSAC mistakenly thought that students are putting in the wrong test locations. I am currently in the states and have taken the June LSAT flex without any problem but yesterday I received an email telling me because I did not reply to their audit email asking me to confirm my address, my OCT exam is cancelled.

I have taken the LSAT twice: June 2021 and August 2021. Both were 163. I was scoring well above (low 170s) before the most recent one. Obviously, the test day penalty is severe. But how can I overcome this? I recently hit a -0 LR, which I am ecstatic at accomplishing, especially given I have not dipped below -0 on LG in a long time on PTs.

Studies show that maintaining meditation is helpful, but I haven't been doing that consistently. Is there any internal motivation I could possibly engender in myself before test day in an effective way?

Hey everyone,

I'm taking the LSAT for the first (and hopefully last) time this Sunday. My goal is to score at least a 171, which I've done on 6 of the last 7 PTs I took. I took my last PT today and am planning to only do some light drilling tomorrow and the day after. I'm curious if anybody who's taken the test before can give some advice about how to ensure you do as well on game day as you have been in your PTs. I think it's important I stay confident and don't put too much pressure on things, but I'd be happy to hear any advice y'all have for ensuring you score to the best of your ability.

Thanks in advance for any insights and good luck to everyone taking October!

Paper for test

Hey all - I know that for five pieces of paper were allowed for the LSAT-Flex. Is it the same for the four-section test? (including the upcoming October test).

Thanks!

I'm looking for thoughts on my current situation-- I'm a first-time test taker, and I have studied consistently since around the end of May. I planned on taking the LSAT once, and maybe twice if I drastically underperformed. Sadly, I have let the Nov. date get away from me.

Originally, my plan was to test in October since I wanted to get applications in around Thanksgiving-- but now I'm wondering if I should reschedule. My goal score was a 165, and until about two weeks ago I was PT'ing consistently in the low 160s, with a -4 or -6 on LR, -4/-5 on RC.

Recently though, something clicked for me in LR, and I've gone -0/-1 several times, along with several -1 to -3 scores on RC. My last PT (92) was my best, a 168 with LR -1, RC -3, and LG -7--which is actually one of my best LG sections to date. LG has killed my score since the very beginning and it is so frustrating.

Anyway, I say all that to ask, in light of my recent improvements-- should I pay the fee, postpone to Nov., and try to find some help with LG, or just stick with October? I hate wondering how much higher my score could have been with a better LG performance, but I don't know if I have enough time to improve any on LG/ if the time I'd lose on early application submission is worth it... anyway, any help/advice is appreciated!

There's a lot of negativity out there, and a lot of anxiety and nervousness going around before the October LSAT. I understand it, as this is my second time taking it this year. But despite the feelings we might have (knots in our stomachs, feelings of defeat, etc), let's all say something we are PROUD of about our LSAT journey so far. If it will help you, I encourage you to write a little statement about the good things, despite or even in spite of all the bad things. I'll go first:

I've been studying for the LSAT since April 2020. A lot of times I have felt defeated and as if all of the hours I was pouring into studying were pointless. I couldn't raise my score for months. I went into the June LSAT upset with where I was, and when I got my score back I was not surprised nor was I disappointed with it. I felt nothing in a way. I knew I needed to raise my score if I want a shot at my dream schools, and I vowed to myself that I would spend as much time needed testing, blind reviewing, forcing myself to understand where I went wrong on all my practice tests. Between the June LSAT and now (October 6) I have finally started seeing my hard work pay off. I have scored 8 points higher than my June score 3 times (!!!!) and for the first time I feel like it wasn't just pure luck -- it's actual hard work and dedication that helped me raise my score. The person I was when I got my lowest score (148 Diagnostic in April 2020) vs. who I am now (scored a 167 multiple times) would have never believed I could raise my score 19 points. But I have, and now I know it's possible to do it on test day.

The point is (and this may sound cliche): it's not enough to look at how far you are from what you want. It's also so crucially important to actually look back and notice how far you have actually come. I really do believe that without giving yourself some kudos for what you _do _ achieve (however minimal), the journey will never be satisfying even if you end up at your goal.

I know that the people on 7sage pour their hearts into the LSAT and getting into law school. Recognize your hard work for what it is. With hard work, confidence, and self-awareness, there's nothing that can stop you from crushing the October LSAT. Believe this, even if you force yourself to believe it. It's a much better mindset to have when going into the test. Trust me.

How do you do on RC?

I am on RC part of 7Sage CC. I get almost all questions correct on questions of difficulty up until four stars. Do questions get significantly harder when the difficulty level is a five stars?

Hi guys. I know its not recommended to work during law school, but what are you expected to do for living. Like you could stay with parents, but if the law school is hours or miles away how are we expected to pay for living expenses without working? I know some schools its not even allowed for 1L students to work. I will be going to law school straight out of undergrad, so I just need some insight or opinions.
