When i finished my essay and got the end where you have the option to close the screen and preview my essay all i saw was a close button. So i could out of the page i didnt have to do anything else or sign anything, but i thought you do have to do that. Is this correct!? On the lsac website it just same exam initiated, not completed or anything. Does that not change until its approved??

Stressing out, if anyone has the answers it would be very much appreciated!!

Hi everyone,

We recently changed the default video player to our new "Modern" video player.

If you would like to change your video player you can do so by going to the Settings tab and selecting one of the three options under "Video Player." See the screenshot below:

Let us know if you have any questions!

I'm starting to worry. My average is in the low 150's, which, for me, took a lot of work. My last three practice tests have been sub 150 and I've straight tanked my last two in the low 140's the past two days in a row (PT 83 and PT 84). I'm writing on Nov. 11th. Have I burnt out or is there some hope of getting back to my average or above on test day?

Thank you everyone, the 7 sage community has taken me from feeling hopeless to hopeful!

Hi all! I just did at PT with all 4 sections on, and did about 10 points better than when I take a PT simulating the LSAT-Flex. I understand that the original PT with 4 sections is supposed to be worth more or what not, but is anyone else experiencing this? Or are my scores just fluctuating like crazy? I write the Flex on the 10th and am becoming fairly discouaged!

I recently discovered that the score 7sage gives me when I complete an LSAT flex has been different in some instances than the score I get after I input results into the score converter. I always make sure the score converter is reflecting the right PT. Is there an explanation for this? and which is more reliable?

Edit: I also always make sure the "Two LR Sections" box isn't selected in the converter.

in the midst of the pandemic, the unpredictable cycle and the legal market, we have the election. the lsat and the admissions process are stressful as they are.. kudos to all of us powering through this. we deserve a pat on the back.

good luck future lawyers!

Hey guys! does anyone know if converting one of these regular PT's into a flex will change the score alot? like i am getting 155-160 on them, but my worry is that the actual LSAT flex will give me a different score not representative of the one 7 sage gives

I am so confused about what to do about the LSAT writing portion...I have heard such a mix of things you're supposed to do. Basically I'm wondering is if there is a huge downside to doing it the day I do the exam (next weds) or the day after??? I was going to do it right away when it opened up 8 days prior but I feel as though this is wasting valuable study time.

Excuse me while I nerd-out for a moment. On the ballot today in Florida is Amendment 1 or Citizen Requirement for Voting Initiative, which would change the language of Florida's constitutional rules about voting from "every citizen of the United States... shall be an elector" to "only a citizen of the United States... shall be an elector."

C of U.S. --> E

vs.

E --> C of U.S.

The argument for the amendment: "The current language of the constitution states who CAN vote but not who can't (i.e. non-citizens)."

The argument against the amendment: "It's just another shady, low-key xenophobic tactic to suppress voters."

GOOOOO lawgic.

I'm taking the LSAT-FLEX on November 10th and I'm wondering when people took the LSAT writing? I haven't even looked at any writing examples or prepared whatsoever, my main focus has been the multiple choice... I'd rather focus my last 7 days improving on my score then take the LSAT Writing a couple days after but is this even an option? Would this delay my score? I don't see a deadline for taking the writing section

For those who are taking November, are you going to take a break from studying until the score release, and then either be all done with the LSAT or start studying again for January? Or are you going to keep studying until the score release and then go from there?

I have been studying on and off since May, and am taking the November flex as I have to take the November sitting for one school to even consider me, even if I am to rewrite in January. I originally started with Khan, hated it as I felt like I made no progress. No matter how well I did, studied, or practiced with Khan I could not get above 150. Stepped away for two-three weeks in August and then started again with 7sage + Kims lsat training guide in September. I also have a tutor who I talk with about once a week. I felt like I was doing well and then I had taken a practice test last week and scored 145. Completely bombed the reading comprehension.

Have I been wasting my time and money? For the schools I am applying to, I need about a 157 (Canadian schools). I had really good grades (double majored, multiple field schools), stellar resume, but just cannot seem to crack the 150. My plan is to write the November in order to just get it over and done with in order for one school to consider me, but am I going to be able to get to this 157 if my last practice test was 145? I am at a loss.

I am confused....I was under the impression you are supposed to be able to launch your lsat writing link 8 days before you write the exam. I am scheduled for November 11th yet today I still don't see the link to launch it.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone feels like the older LSATs are harder than the new ones. I always feel like it takes me so much longer to understand what if being asked of me and at times, it almost seems like there is insufficient information. The newer ones don't seem to require you to infer as much. Im just asking because I will be testing next Tuesday and I'm hoping the LSAT isn't going to return to its old ways of being super vague.

I am truly nauseated by the thought of looking at one more LSAT question.

I am a few days before the November exam (my first LSAT) and after a steady 6 months of studying with no issues..... I have hit a wall. I can't read a full LR question, I cant remember passages, and my scores on the past 2 PTs have been well below my average. I have genuinely enjoyed studying up to this point, and for some reason am totally disgusted by this LSAT right now.

I work a really demanding job, so took this week off using PTO to study before the test. I am wondering if I would be better suited to not study to ensure I am ready for Saturday. For those who have experienced burnout - how many days of break did it take you to bounce back?

This is completely off-topic and has nothing to do with law school but I would appreciate someone's opinion. I am applying to do a dual MSW/JD program at Boston College and am a little confused by part of the prompt for the MSW personal statement. It says you should explain the relevance of past/current work experience to your choice of a major field. Does this mean your major in college?

Hi, hope all of you are doing well. I am here to ask some advice about my study method.

I am started to study LSAT since this May and trying to apply next year's application, but it doesn't seem feasible b/c my score is not improving. I started by 147, then raised to 150 around July, then no change. I'm just stuck in 150 (and drops to 149 sometimes). Also, even though I am keep practicing, I cannot get free from test anxiety every time I do my PT so worrying of losing my mind during the actual test.

Thus I am thinking is there any matter in my study method.

I'd done 3-4hr/day between may-august but doing 1-2hr/day right now. I know it is not a lot of study time, but I don't really have a choice as a college senior who is completing the semester right now.

Since I do not have lots of time to study per day, I am putting each section per week. (LR in the first week, RC in the Second week, LG in the third week) and trying to take the PT of each section at the end of each week.

Also, during the week, I usually read the books from Manhattan Prep, watch lectures from 7sage, and do practice from both 7sage and Manhattan Prep.

And since my score is not improving under this practice routine, I feel like I am wasting time, which is devastating.

If anybody have any suggestion about my study method I will happily hear that.

Thank You.

What is the general feeling about canceling an LSAT score? I'm a first-time test taker and I'm scheduled to take the Flex this month, but I've yet to achieve the score that I desire in PTs. Should I still take the test just for the experience, then cancel my score and continue preparing? Or should I just cancel the test altogether and wait to take it until I'm where I want to be? I don't care about being reimbursed for the test, and I'm fine with waiting until the next cycle to apply.

Also, if one decides to cancel their score after taking the test, does it also cancel the submission for the writing section?

If you have canceled a score in the past, it would benefit me greatly to hear about your experience.

Thank you!
