Hi - Can I enter answers for preptest I did on Lawhub for analytics directly without doing the test again? #help

Are we allowed to search for various words/sentences during the reading comp section? Since LSAC views our screens, I want to make sure that executing this function will be ok and won't result in being disqualified! People who have confirmed this with LSAC please lmk :)

Want to focus on harder ones so I'm not surprised on test day. I have access to all of them and have taken 82, 81, 79, 78, 76, 70, 69, 66, 54, 18, 17, and J07 (and I took PT 89 when it was a real LSAT administration). Particularly want to challenge myself on Logic Games (my weakest section) but other hard sections are good too. All advice welcome!

Hi guys, it’s my first LSAT (and FLEX) and I was just wondering why APAC region does not support February LSAT despite it being a FLEX version.

Does this mean as long as we’re taking the exam in Asia, we cannot register for it whatsoever (due to tech, IP reasons, etc)?

OR if we could make it to the test based on NA region time (which will be night time + in Asia), could we also just register for the Feb Flex?

Thanks for your help in advance!

I've read through the 7sage approved tutor list thousands of times but i can't pick one because they all seem exactly the same. does anyone have any reviews (good or bad) on any lsat tutor???

Hi!

I haven't really taken to doing JY's approach to comparative passages throughout my studying process-- that is, dipping into the questions after reading the first passage. I've typically figured that it would be a time suck, but have recently started to sense that it could benefit me. Can anyone speak to this? I'm taking the Nov test in a week, and I'm wondering if it's worth it to hone this approach, rather than sticking to the read both passages and then dive into the questions method.

Thanks!!

Anyone else who is taking the November LSAT-Flex underestimate how much brain space the election would take up? I know I should turn off the news, but it's SO hard. UGH.

Hello,

I was so busy with midterms at school this week that I totally forgot to renew my 7sage (grandfathered) Ultimate+ account. I have literally been with 7sage forever. I think I was supposed to renew a day or two ago, but with so much stuff going on at school I totally forgot to do it. (It would be really really great if we could get an email reminder to renew our accounts).

Also, I am planning to take the next LSAT really soon, and the sudden price change from what I am paying now to what I would have to pay is too much for me to continue with my usual account. Can someone please please help?? I am really upset and panicked at the thought of not being able to keep my account!!!

For anyone who's take the flex- whats the proctor experience/check in process like? Is the format of the test exactly like its on LSAC law hub? When you finish a section, does the next one start immediately?

With the November Flex right around the corner, I haven't been behaving as you think one would in this situation.

For context, I've spent the last 6 months studying mostly full-time for this test and I've taken 20 PTs. The last 10 are averaging around 159 and trending upward–which I am very happy about as I've had to really grind to get here.

My problem is that I am struggling to feel the sense of urgency that motivated to study hard these past months. I don't think I've burned out per se because I am still studying (taking another PT today) but that fire under my but has dissipated quite a bit.

I've seen people say on this forum that you should be getting into a rhythm leading up to the exam, ie: frequently taking PTs at the time you're to take the real thing. Meanwhile, I have been taking them haphazardly and have been hanging out with friend's more often.

Anyhow, is there anyone else in this boat? Should I be getting back on the grind or is it the case that I've already done most of the heavy lifting and so it's merited to ease up on the gas a bit?

I am feeling guilty and conflicted. Advice is appreciated.

Maybe because of the fear of getting a low score (even though it's just a practice test), I find myself having anxiety even over drilling an LR section, especially when there are any early questions from between question 1 and 10 that throw me off or when I see the number of my flagged questions increase. Whenever I have these anxieties, I get stuck on a question and become too discouraged to move on, even when I know the time is ticking. Before, I used to flag the questions that I had trouble with and quickly move on, but after experiencing low scores from being too rushed, I'm becoming more hesitant and doubtful about the answer choice I'm selecting. For instance, on question 13 in an LR section, I found myself getting stuck again, until I realized I had only 14 minutes left. Then, it hit me that I had only 14 minutes left to do the remaining 12 questions (most likely harder questions), which left a huge load of anxiety crashing in. I paused the test right then, and came back to the section after I regained my composure and eased my anxiety. Thankfully, I finished the section just on time, but still, I can't help but think that I can't let this happen to me on test day.

How do I shake off the anxiety, and just quickly move on from questions, without hopefully sacrificing my accuracy?

Hello, I wanted to ask for advice about applying in the 2020 or 2021 cycle. I graduated college with a chemistry degree (interested in patent law) and a 3.77 GPA, and had originally planned to take a gap year before law school. However, I am not great at standardized tests, and will be lucky to hit a 155 on the November test. I know that applications for this year are up significantly due to COVID, and that there were a lot of deferrals from last year as well. Should I still apply this cycle, or would it be best for admission/scholarships to apply earlier in the next cycle (which would be my second gap yer)? Thanks so much, and any advice is appreciated.

Hello, I recently graduated from college this past spring. I have been studying for the LSAT since then, took the Live Blueprint course and I raised my score 10 points in those 3 months. I started in the mid 130s, and I am looking to get into the 160s. I started an internship in the middle of September for 36 hours a week and it ends in the middle of December, it has been difficult to balance studying but I try to get at least 2-3 hours in 4 days a week and 6 during the weekend. I took a break from taking any PT's and drilling to read the Loophole book. Any advice on how I should approach 7sage (looking into purchasing their monthly plan), setting a study schedule and setting potential test date for me?

I have been studying for 4 months, understand LR well, (get about -4 to -5 wrong on it after BR, usually the last questions), but on the actual test I can NEVER and I mean NEVER get past #17. It feels like a curse at this point. So of course I automatically end up missing around 8-10 every time. ANY advice would be great!!! Also, i'm taking Nov flex.

Hey everyone,

So I did a prep test today and wanted to score my experimental section just to see how I did on the section, is this even possible? Does LSAC release the answers to the experimental sections or no?

Thanks.

167/3.9, if I apply ED where would I have a better shot at? I’ll also apply to Notre dame and Boston college and some other schools where I’m above the median.

We've all been there.

You've invested 60 seconds reading a dense stimulus and probably another 10 seconds scanning the ridiculous answer choices.

You know you should skip/flag this timesink and just move onto the easy questions.

BUT, NO!

Those 70 seconds you just spent trying to wrap your mind around that stimulus will unravel as soon as you get into the next question. When you come back, you'll have to read it ALL AGAIN because it sure didn't make sense the first time and now you're starting to think this in an experimental question or some kind of twisted joke.

What is your personal point of no return on these questions?

I would absolutely pay 99 cents to hear his "who cares?" whenever my mom texts me a stay-at-home update

Hey guys - I just finished taking PT 66 and scored ridiculously well compared my average (+10 points). I'm wondering if this PT is known to be significantly easier than others, or if this is actually a sign of significant progress. Thanks and happy studying!

Been playing Dual-N-Back for about a month after I saw it recommended as a way to boost short term memory for LSAT and had made it to the N4 level. I'd been ramping up prep for November - adding reading and drilling volume, and tutoring, in addition to my PT/Review routine, I started noticing a decline in performance in the game. The game sets your level of difficulty off your dual task (audio and visual) short term memory performance. I got so bad it kicked me back to level 2. Over the next days, I started experiencing that kind of hazy loss of focus, and started making a lot of stupid mistakes on questions, culminating in getting thoroughly worked in an LR section (-6, when I typically average -1) a couple days later.

I haven't researched the game or anything, nor can I make any causal claims... just a correlation I thought might be of interest here as burnout often goes undetected until you're neck deep in it.

Aside, I do feel that Dual-N-Back has helped me remember LG rules, allowing me to work through games without referencing the rules or my representations of them as much. I wouldn't go so far as to say you should start using it... probably put it up there with doing sudoku or reading academic journals - worth checking out but definitely not necessary.

I just finished the mock Criminal Law exam! I thought it would be fun to get a discussion going for those who have gone through the process and wrote the exam. What did you think about the overall experience? What questions do you still have? How did you go about studying? Throughout the whole experience, I was dying for someone to talk about this stuff with! I still have a bunch of questions about general vs. specific intent crimes.

Just scheduled my time for the flex! Feeling anxious I've been studying while doing school full time and working from home! I'm excited to take the damn thing!! Does anyone have tips for using the restroom. I bought an adult diaper just incase. I wish JY could give us a heartwarming speech before the test!! Regardless I'm going to kill it!! How is everyone feeling?

Anybody screw up this cycle and looking to test next year? Lookin to start a study group! Hey every1, message me! Lets coordinate this so, we can all improve our scores! I was thinking we could possibly all go over our drilling and PTs together, and help each other where we're weak. Personally I'm more of a team person and feel that having a strong supportive group can help with this grueling process.

I have a brand new Mac Air 2020 that I’m planning to use for exam day, bc the other computers in my house are 2015 and older and don’t run as fast.

I saw somewhere that someone had issues with their new Mac which makes me a bit nervous. Just wanted to see what past test takers took their exams on. Or any general tips for a smooth testing day.
