Discipline my colleagues.

What is the difference really? Is pre-phrasing universally helpful across LR/RC question types or only selectively applicable? I.e, what makes it/when can it be most valuable? Thoughts, counterexamples, and battle-tested opinions welcome!

Hey!

I wanna apply for Fall 2022, but I don’t know when I should take the LSAT. Do I take it this year and put in my application this September? Or do I take it in 2022 and then submit my application in September 2022?

Thank you!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had quizlets they used to review the 7sage information & would be willing to post the links here, thank you!

Hi all,

I ran a test on my Air with M1 chip and it passed all the tests for video, audio and RAM but it failed the CPU.

It needs to be at 95% but it's at 97%.

Would this be a problem? I dont want any hiccups on the exam day.

If anyone has used Mac AIR for the FLEX please let me know !

Thanks in advance!

It seems like we do a lot of writing with symbols and other things like that. I have not taken the LSAT flex yet but I understand that it is all online. How are we able to write on the questions if its all online? If we cannot do this, how have you guys overcome the struggles of trying to comprehend stimulus' without being able to underline and circle?

I am exactly one month into 7Sage and feel like I'm learning a lot. I started my first 2 months of studying using books and paper tests, so digital tests are new for me and I've definitely noticed a slight actual score drop as I'm adjusting. I've noticed that my blind review score is increasing even though my actual score has remained the close or the same for the past 4 practice tests. Any advice for making my BR intuition/realizations happen while taking the actual exam?

Hello! I have taken the LSAT 3 times and received the scores 162 (Sep 2019 in-person), 160 (Nov 2020 Flex), and 154 (Jan 2021 Flex). I received the 154 after using 7Sage Prep between the 160 and the 154. I want to reapply to law schools next year because I believe I am still aiming for my top schools (some in the T6 and T14). I have a Master's (4.0 GPA) and solid "softs" as well.

Should I retake the LSAT for a fourth time, try taking the GRE, or some other option? Any advice is welcome. Thanks!

My situation is as follows: Next week's flex will be my third take, with November 2020 and January 2021 being my prior attempts. Since at least 2019, the LSAT testing year has run June-May, so I assumed the June 2021 test would not count towards the three takes per testing year rule. I've been operating under this assumption since I started studying last July. But, with LSAC's announcement in March that this year's testing cycle will start in August, I'm effectively barred from registering for June and will have to wait until August if I decide a 4th take is necessary. This really throws a wrench in my plans as I want to avoid any overlap between LSAT prep and personal statements, essays etc. I get the sense that this cycle change came at least in part as a result of the number of FLEX exams last year that didn't count towards test takers' limits. If this is the case, I feel I'm being penalized for something I wasn't even able to take advantage of....all tests starting with October 2020 do count towards the limit. Curious to see if anyone thinks I have a legitimate case here...or if LSAC has ever been known to show a hint of compassion lmao. I mean, some people took this thing 7 damn times last year.....

The LSAT and the principles from the LSAT have proven to be really hard for me to fully understand. I make strides in my studying and prep when I think I'm improving my ability, and then other times when I just simply cannot understand why I'm getting problems wrong even after reviewing the lessons and doing BR on all of the problem sets. No matter how thorough J.Y's explanations are, it just seems like I can't consistently improve. I really feel like I'm in a rut. I've been studying for several months, but only for about 1 month in this program, and I'm taking the LSAT in June. I really see this as my last shot at achieving a high score. Yet I feel like I'm moving further and further away from that goal, and I don't know why. I can't comprehend why I can't seem to grasp the concepts well and consistently. I really don't know if I'm doing something wrong, or if I am just not cut out for a score of 160+. That may seem dramatic, but I feel incredibly hopeless and I don't know what to do to fix this feeling. Theoretically I could study more, but I have a full time job and a freelance writing job. I don't know what to do, I would really appreciate any advice.

The eliminate answer button has suddenly disspeared from problem sets. Anyone know how to add it back??

When is the latest one can take the LSAT writing before the actual exam? For example, can I take it a day before?

About: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/lsat-scoring/about-lsat-score-preview

Basically this is a paid feature that allows first time test takers preview their score before deciding whether or not to cancel/keep it. Personally I think I'm pretty set on not paying for it though it crosses my mind once in a while, especially now that I'm days away from my first exam. In my mind, a lower first score is okay as long as a future retake is an improvement and I don't see why schools would view this negatively either though this is a total guess.

Really curious - has anyone spoken to contacts from any admissions offices about Score Preview / first score cancellation? Are any of you planning to hit up the offer and want to share benefits I might not have considered?

Do you "shut down", or otherwise find yourself unable to think straight as soon as that timer starts counting down? If you are game, please try my test anxiety tip: full-on smiling during your toughest sections. I mean a wide grin, not a slight-curve-to-satisfy-the-school-photographer kind of small smile. Will you try it and report back in the poll and/or comments?

Hello! I'm sure this has been discussed 1000 times but I'm a new-er LSAT studier here, looking for any advice on studying while working full-time from home. I know people recommend studying before the workday starts, but I cannot get myself to wake up before 8 am. It's also so difficult to have a real break in your day when you never leave the house. I'll definitely be sacrificing my weekends to the cause. Looking mostly for inspiration/tips/motivation/commiseration. Is anyone else currently building a schedule for studying and working, and has found success?

Is it worth doing if you don't get into the full time program?

I started taking sections on the LSAC’s Lawhub site to try to gain some familiarity with its user interface and one thing that struck me was how difficult it was to use the highlighter tool. I would try highlighting one word and next thing you know half the paragraph was highlighted. Super annoying. This issue occurred during RC sections, which I change the line spacing to its minimum bc is feels easier for me to read. This might very well be the reason for this issue but I’d rather not increase the line spacing.

For those who’ve sat for the digital LSAT/Flex, how similar is Lawhub to the actual test? Did you find difficulty using the highlighter tool like I did on Lawhub?

I am taking the April 2021 LSAT on Saturday, April 10th... when should be the last day I take a practice test? I want to make sure I am not burnt out, but also do not want to take too many days off. Traditionally I have taken 2 PTs a week on Mondays and Thursdays. I took one today (PT 89) and left M20 to do next week. I was originally planning on doing it Monday, but should I push it back to Tuesday or Wednesday so that there are not too many days between my last PT and the my real test? Any advice/thoughts/other week of LSAT advice is much appreciated, as this is my first LSAT and want to make sure I am prepared while also not exhausting myself before the real thing!

Do you think that this is the most competitive cycle because of COVID?

Will the competition eventually die down the next two cycles?

I made my tuition deposit at SMU ... thinking about either just going ahead or retaking the lsat again ...& apply next year or the year after

I scored a 151 ... didn’t get much scholly... not a good test taker

Is anyone else missing the push pin button?

Hi,

When I was working on problem sets/games today, the ( X ) symbol near each answer choice is invisible or missing. I can still click in the general area and eliminate it but it is a problem since it takes me like 2-3 extra clicks to eliminate once choice since I don't see where the (X) is.

The LSAC has announced that effective with the April administration of the LSAT-Flex, test takers will be required to schedule their testing day and time by 11:59 p.m. ET of the Thursday prior to the exam. For example, for the April LSAT-Flex, which begins on Saturday, April 10, scheduling will close at 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, April 8.

After that deadline passes, test takers could opt to request a date change for a future administration, but will not be able to schedule for the current exam.

Hi all,

Is there a 7sage/other platform option to create a problem set with all of the questions you've gotten wrong? I want to foolproof for the Logic Games and review the questions I've gotten wrong for LR, but I'm having a hard time figuring out a way to do this easily. I wanted to know if I'm missing something. Thanks all!

Hi. I am taking the August LSAT for the first time. I am studying strictly with 7sage. Having no background in the LSAT I am working my way down in the 7sage curriculum from LR to RC. The study schedule made for my by 7sage says I should be dedicating 50 hours a week to core based on my test date but that is not feasible for me. I am still taking three college classes and working full time. I started studying 3 weeks ago and I am only 14% done with the core. I do not want to spend all my time on my core and not being able to take any practice tests. But I need to to learn the material. I got a 138 on my cold diagnostic without any prior LSAT studying and my goal is 160 by August. I try to spend 2-3 hours on core everyday. I feel like the curriculum is very in depth and I am not touching all 3 sections LR LG RC. I wont get to LG and RC until the very end of the curriculum and it is recommended to go through it in order. Not sure what to do and how to fix my studying style. Any suggestions
