Is anyone taking the test from Asia [including India]? Was hoping to create a discussion thread for the April exam where we can perhaps share tips/strategies to help one another!

Can we use soft ear plugs for LSAT writing?

I am planning on taking the LSAT this summer and want advice on if I'm approaching studying correctly. I am aiming for mid-170s. I've gone through all 3 Powerscore bibles, and I bought the 7Sage monthly package at the very beginning of this calendar year. My diagnostic score was a 154. I have been taking one PT a week on 7Sage and so far my scores have been 157, 159, 161, and I scored a 165 with Blind Review each time. Average scores: -8 on LR, -12 on LG, -3 on RC.

My Study Method:

After Blind Review I have been printing out all of the answers I got wrong on the test and going through them individually. I write down what I got wrong, my thinking in why I got it wrong, and why the correct answer is correct. I then give a one sentence high-level summary of what to remember for next time. I was inspired by the LSAT Binder on TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@caitlin.org/video/6889045570518928646?lang=en)

I have also foolproofed most of the Logic Games I've gotten wrong.

I am really worried that I haven't seen better progress in my scores thus far, especially since foolproofing and individually reviewing questions takes so long. I have a full-time job and have only been able to study for an hour or two in the mornings, so it takes me until Wednesday or Thursday to finish reviewing a single practice PT from the weekend.

What do you all think -- am I approaching this right? Should I not review so much after BR and focus on just doing sections? Or something else? I want to be as thoughtful as possible in my studying, especially given my high score goal. But I am worried I won't reach it because I feel like I haven't improved at all.

Hi Guys ! If anyone knows new LSAT dates POST April FLEX - can you please let me know ? I've been keeping up with the LSAC.org site but just got wind of a June 7th exam, however, I do not see it posted on LSAC.org ?

Any insight would be great ! Thank you !

i didnt bomb it but definitely not my best

idk maybe bc i was running on 6 hrs of sleep

but still not what i was looking forward to before my test on tuesday

I recently took PT37 as a "flex-converted" prep test. After BRing, I viewed my results on desktop and everything seemed fine.

However, after trying to view my score on the 7sage phone app via the grader feature, I ended up grading the Flex converted test as a normal prep-test by mistake. This dropped my score by a lot, and is messing with my analytics. I've tried to reverse the test back to a flex grading, but no such luck.

Any advice on correcting this? Thanks!

Does anyone know when LSAC will release the June and July LSAT test dates?

Is there a way to make my own problem set and save it for later, similar to core curriculum problem sets?

I heard there were problems with catalina. Does anyone know big sur is okay

Does anyone have some last minute advice on what they think about during the test itself? I always feel like I understand what I missed, etc. when going through old PTs, but then when I take the next test I forget everything I thought I learned. In other words, is there anything you tell yourself such as "do XYZ on LR" or "remember ABC on RC"?

So this is a bizarre question but I'm so serious - how many jackets are you allowed to have within your reach during the exam? I get really cold, and often will wear like two pairs of socks and three jackets inside, but I don't want to end up too hot (stress) or too cold (I have no heat). Is there a rule against...changing jackets?

I was just wondering what things I could use on test date. For example, how many pieces of paper, and what type, if I can consume food/drink, etc.

Also, when it comes to Proctor U, do I just go on the website and the test is available? Basically, is there anything special I need to do before tomorrow for the test?

Thank You

I've been scoring between 157-159 the past few tests, in the hopes of hitting the 160s before my flex on Tuesday.

Just took PT 89, which was probably a mistake lol. Although I could definitely feel that I wasn't into it (ie: tired, wasn't reading as clearly) I got a 151 which is what I scored last February... ouch.

I know this probably isn't indicative of my progress or how things will go next week, just looking for some reassurance I guess. Or thoughts from anyone else who may have experienced something similar.

I had heard 89 was difficult but I didn't think it would be difficult enough to bring me back to where I was a year ago when I joined 7 Sage lol. For the record it was mainly my RC score, but still...scary this close to my test.

I had planned on taking the May Flex as my last PT before my test on Tuesday? Do you guys think that I should? (ie: is it more or less likely that I will get a confidence boost from it lol) Otherwise I will just take the timed sections separately rather than a timed exam.

Side note: how on earth did I get ONE question right on the first arts passage, but FIVE right on the peptides passage???? What even is my life? ?@ 2be2ui

Taking M20 for a confidence boost

We got this!!

No matter what problem set, I always miss the high priority questions. I can't figure out how to isolate those so I can practice them. Does anyone know how?

Hi,

Could someone please explain the importance of the distincion of the relative and absolute phrases in LR,LG and RC. Thank you

I'm taking the January test and looking to book a hotel.

What kind/type of hotels would be great for the test?

My scores in each section have been:

LG: -3

LR: -12 - (-8) (-10 average)

RC: -12 - (-8) (-10 average)

Consistently my performance in LG has been -3, By coincidence, I typically guess 3 questions on each of them. So I have horrible luck at guessing and my error is from lack of speed.

I did notice if I take longer time per question, it's typically at grouping questions, especially grouping w/ repeated items.

I also run out of time at LR and RC, where I guess 3-5 questions in each. I usually get -12 - (-8) (average of -10) in each section, where very rarely my guesses are correct.

I need a score in the 160s to be admitted to the law schools I applied to . This seems within reach if I just solve my lack of time issue, turning my scores in each section to roughly -1, -7, -7, respectively.

With only 5 days left until my LSAT write, what are the best ways to improve?

Anyone have confidence boosting strategies before the test? Like maybe a good test to take or games or psychological strategies or something?

I completed all Core Curriculum including and up to "Main Point and Conclusion." When I tried to go back and rewatch the videos from "Main Point and Conclusion," I can no longer access them or even see them in my syllabus. Is it normal that once you complete a section it disappears? Please let me know if you have the same issue or if I am missing something.

I already took the LSAT twice in the past year, once in June (162) and once again in August (164). I was scheduled to take it again In November but decided to post-pone it until January. Admittedly, Master's applications and end-of-term finals got the best of me, so I only started up studying again in January. I am a Canadian school applicant, so my cGPA and B3 is 3.80.

I have already been accepted to a law school, however my dream school has a LSAT 25th percentile of 163, a median lsat of 166 and a 75th percentile of 167, and a GPA 25th percentile of 3.77, median of 3.86, and a 75th percentile of 3.91, which is why I have been considering retaking the LSAT so many times as I do recognize that I am in their lower percentile. However, I do not want to have a third attempt on file without a significant increase (as in 167+) since I have heard this does not look good for this score and would want to save a third and final-ish attempt in the case that I decide to defer going to law school for another year, which would give me more time to study for a third attempt.

I have been pt-ing on average around 164-166 with a consistent average BR of 172-176. Though my two last pt’s were 163 and 159 (May 2020 and PT88 killed me! What was that LR and what was that RC???). Considering the January LSAT is next week for me and today’s the last day to withdraw, do you think it is worth retaking? I don’t want to risk having a lower or similar score as my last attempt.

my BR is showing me that there is a very likely potential to score in the high 160s, low 170s range if I just recognize the support a little better in the allotted time. but obviously I am not sure whether I can reasonably expect myself to suddenly improve that in a couple of days. though I can try, I suppose. this would be my last attempt to improve my score for the 2021 cycle. so that’s why I think an attempt would not be worth it if it’s not at least 3 points higher.

any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi everyone,

I am about to retake the LSAT in January and am hoping for a higher score than the first time I took it in July. 7Sage has helped me a lot. When I am practicing and drilling questions, I get a lot of them right. When I go to take a timed practice test, I seem to have hit a brick wall with my score, but I know I am capable of getting higher. Does anyone have any last minute advice on how to get past this mental block? Thanks so much!!

My 4 month subscription doesn't expire until Feb 20, however, when I try to access the videos to old notes I get the error: "Sorry, this material isn't included in your course. Have you considered upgrading?" Does anyone know how to fix this? I take my LSAT next week!!!

I keep getting sent to my syllabus in the middle of completing my Prep Test. I did an internet speed test, and my speed looks good. With the Jan 2021LSAT coming up, I am assuming there is just a lot of people on this website right now that are trying to complete the same Prep Tests. Is this something you all are experiencing as well? (it is good practice for the actual test, which may get disconnected from the proctor!)

Hi,

I went to continue to work through the main point section today and it seems to have disappeared. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
