So, I got my October flex score back...148. I knew after how terrible the LG section was that it would be bad...but wow. I was PT’ing around 154, which I already wasnt happy about because I have been studying for a year now. Last year when I took it in July, I got a 150. I cancelled because I figured a year from then I would be doing much better...but no. Im truly confused on what to do. Im registered for November, I will take a PT and see how im doing and worst comes ill move it to January. Either way, I want to apply this cycle and seeing what happens. I had a 3.92 from Howard U and am a URM. Great extracurriculars, unique PS/DS, strong work history...its just this LSAT.

Everything is already going way off of my plans. I didn’t initially plan on taking a year off, but here I am. I don’t regret it because I have a great paralegal job and am getting great experience...but I have to face the decision of potentially taking another year off. What if I do and my score is STILL the same? Towards the end of my studies for October, I got a tutor and I realized I haven’t been studying correctly. Thats the only thing giving me hope. In the 4 weeks I had a tutor, I didn’t see a score improvement but I did notice I looked at LR a bit questions differently. I honestly dont know how to feel still..or what to do. I want nothing more than to be a lawyer and really want to go to Stanford or Berkeley.

Any words of motivation, advice or stories of personal experience would be much appreciated.

Got a 167 on October!! Also if anyone is really struggling with LG, message me. I’ve been helping people with LG for about 2 months now!

I was diagnosed with asymmetric bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and both sides tinnitus. I can't concentrate because of the tinnitus. I hear I can apply for an Accommodation for extended time. if you have any experience or advise please share if my condition will qualify for an accommodation. Thank you all!

Hello,

I did not think I would be writing this question but I am in a very strange place. I have been studying for the LSAT for many months but I joing 7Sage very recently. I am debating moving my test date from Nov to Jan, because I had plans to teach aboard strating in Jan but with the Covid situation being very unstable it is likely that I will not be departing as planned. I am personally, very torn about what I should do because if I take the test in Jan, I am worried I will be to late to apply this cycle but I could keep studying. (fyi not going for a T14.)

However, there is the possibility that even if I took the LSAT in Nov and applied this cycle, my travel and teaching would be pushed to Sept 2021 and I would have to defer admission. I have to make a decision about this before the 30 of Oct because that is the last day to change without a fee, however, I will not know about my status until the week of Nov 15. (same as test week...)

I would really appericate some advice on the matter and outside viewpoints.

I just got back my October LSAT, and received a 174! I honestly am floored, and wanted to thank everyone on the 7Sage team + people on these discussion boards. I pretty much exclusively used 7Sage to study, and have 0 doubt that I would have never been able to perform well on the test without this site and community. Having taken most of the PTs and done the CC, I was helped immeasurably by informative user comments, and by all of JY's absolutely superb (and entertaining) videos.

As an aside, I ended up needing 3 takes and 7 months to finally hit my target (2 high 160s on my first two takes) - if it would be useful for anyone, I'd be happy to type up a much longer post that goes into depth about section strategies/study tips (and feel free to PM about this too).

Thank you 7Sage + JY for the help! Glad to be finished with this test after 3 takes, and to dig into some ice cream!

Can't believe it finally paid off. I feel like this year just consisted of me crying in my room studying LOL. It was a tough process, but I'm just so happy it's over.

This test sucks ass. It just really does, I have to say it. It literally drained all my mental energy for a year. Trust me, it wasn't like I was good at this test from the start. It took countless hours of staring at a question to figure out what the hell is going on. But hard work does pay off - please, please never give up.

I want to be of help to anyone who is going through this process. Please ask me anything, I may be able to help.

I am confused about foolproofing. When we are printing off 10 copies of the games we have not perfected, should we be trying to set up the board and answer the questions timed or untimed until perfection? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone received an email from the LSAC about scheduling a time to take the Nov 2020 LSAT?

Can you highlight stuff during the exam?

Does anyone know when 7Sage will have the new May 2020 Preptest with explanations? Any possibility it could be up before the November exam?

I’m soo happy I’m in shock! I got a 164 on the October flex which is right at BCs median and my GPA Is above their 75th percentile and it’s my top choice. Thanks everyone for all the help on here!!

Do you think the may June and July tests will be flex?

Wow! Just got my October results back and went from 151->163 in about 12 weeks. The total cost of 7Sage during that time was just about $200 but in reality has saved me tens of thousands through potential scholarships and gives me the chance to gain admission to schools with fantastic outcomes that were not possible before. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that 7Sage can give you truly life altering results.

Hi everyone. I wanted to ask for advice regarding the application process. I'm debating whether I should turn in my application in December with an alright LSAT score (around 150s meh), but would it be better to turn in the application in January if I retake the LSAT then and have a better LSAT score? And is turning applications in January too late for a good chance of acceptance? My GPA is on the low side. I would greatly appreciate any advice! Thank you!!

Im registered to take the November LSAT but has anyone been able to pick out their exact date? if so how? Im a little worried since it coming up

Closed for now - will update as I figure out if I can handle more people. If you came in after the comment I posted below, I will be in contact if I can free up some more time.

Hey all! Am looking to tutor 1-2 people at no cost. Would like them to have:

While those aren't hard rules, I believe that if you have yet to break into the high 150's, you would be better served by focusing on the CC and drilling games. No expert, but I think sub-160 scores indicate the need for work on foundational concepts, and it's hard to beat what you already have here on this site... I definitely can't teach it better than that.

I benefited a lot from just a few lessons with a couple tutors here, and would like to help someone else while hopefully refining my own approach to this test. If interested, hit me up and we can discuss. Obviously fit is important, so I want to make sure what I can offer will help you (and by extension help me!). Will maintain this post with pertinent updates.

Edit 10/22/20 1019Z: Thanks for all the responses! Wasn't expecting that much traffic after just 30 minutes. Posted a temporary cutoff comment below so I can be sure to get back to everyone.

Edit 10/22/20 1043Z: Everyone should have comms from me. Will update once I get a feel for my capacity. Would love to work with as many people as I can handle!

I just did a PT and looks like RC is really holding me back form breaking 160(LR-4,LG-1,RC-16), anyone have any advice as to how to improve RC in the coming weeks? I'm taking Nov LSAT, I know RC is hard to improve in short amount of time but I'm willing to work hard and can commit to study full time.

Hey everyone! I just checked my admission ticket and it is blank on the testing center and states LSAT FLEX on the testing center assigned. I know I specifically chose a center closest to home so I was wondering why it is blank and if this will update once the admission ticket becomes available to us. Thanks everyone!

So I'm taking the November LSAT and my score had slowly been increasing with each PT and I was scoring in the low 160s and starting to climb even higher, I took a PT yesterday and out of nowhere I got a 154, I bombed the LR and RC hard and with the test so close I'm kinda freaking out, idk if I should cancel my test or just ignore this PT or what. Any advice?

Looking for someone currently PT'ing in the mid-high 150's to review LR only. Please comment if interested.

I have to share this, I’ve been back and forth with this LSAT for a long time. I just need to share that I have siblings that are lawyers and I can tell you that they have no time for living. I’ve become more aware of it lately. I’d highly recommend that everyone considering becoming a lawyer really look into the profession and the time that it will take from your life. I have decided today after really noticing and seeing the time, effort, dedication, and family sacrifice it takes to be a successful attorney that it’s not the profession for me. It just “clicked” today. You have to know what your getting yourself into. Thanks for reading, just my two cents.

Hey fellow LSATers,

I'm scheduled to take the test in January, and started studying the first week of October. I average about 2 hours during the weekdays and 8 total on the weekends (~20hrs per week). It's a schedule I've been able to stick to really well.

Its tough to balance studying and working full-time. Has anyone done something similar/have any tips? At this point I have kind of accepted I'll have to re-take the test again with more rigorous studying, but I want to give the January one my best possible.

Appreciate any help!

I just got an email from LSAC saying my score preview is available but I don’t know where to see my score??

I see that LSAC has put up the dates that the November LSAT will be administered with them being

Saturday, November 7, 2020

Sunday, November 8, 2020

Tuesday, November 10, 2020

Wednesday, November 11, 2020

I was wondering if they sent out an email for people to register for that specific date. Im registered for the LSAT however I haven't received any information since I registered.

Group found

I will be taking the November Flex and am planning to take about ~8 PTs before then. I've been plateauing at ~169, and thought I'd try BRing with someone else to step up my review game. Please let me know if interested!
