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.

Can you sign up for proctor u and schedule the flex exam from a phone or does it have to be on a computer?

Hey everyone! I saw that a few people were having issues signing up so I thought I'd share what I did to sign up.

First I went to the ProctorU website. I selected Log-in even though I did not have an account. Then I put as my username the email associated with my LSAC account. After this I hit forgot password. Then I put the same email down and requested a password change. After this I checked my email and changed my password (this whole time I did not have an account). I then logged in with the new password and LSAC email and answered a few questions about my address. Now click My Sessions on the top banner and your scheduled LSAT should be there. Click on it and now you can select a time and date for your test with extra options located on the left side of the screen. Good luck everyone!

Hi all!

I’m taking the Jan 2021 FLEX. I’ve completed the core curriculum and have now moved on to taking PTs. I’m curious to know if others who are signed up for FLEX are taking full PrepTest or simulating the FLEX with only three sections? It feels like by taking FLEX PTs, I’m leaving valuable resources on the table (practice questions). But I also, want to make make sure my practice is as close to test day as possible. Suggestions?

Hey there folks, I'll be taking the November flex on my tiny desk in a dark corner. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to have a lamp on the desk, or just my PC, paper, pencils etc..?

Since I’m going into law school directly after undergrad, I would assume I send my transcripts to LSAC after my junior year. So if that’s the case, does that mean my senior year won’t affect what gets seen by law schools during the admission process?

Hi everyone! I don’t really understand if we’re supposed to sign up for the LSAT writing using the ProctorU link that LSAC just sent us... or how am I supposed to start my LSAT Writing tomorrow?

Hey Guys - ridiculous observation, but I just realized that i've been practicing with 7Sage for three months and never accessed the official LSAT tests utilizing their typefont/format. Wondering if this will throw me off my game come test day...

Hey Everyone!

I'm Maria and I am new to 7sage! I am really excited to start my law school journey. Unfortunately, I have been trying to upgrade the course and it wont let me. I tried four different cards and made sure the cards had sufficient funds which they did but the payment still failed. Did anyone else have this issue? I logged out and back in to try again and still no luck. Is this an website issue? Help please!

Thanks

Hi everyone - I'm scheduled to take the November LSAT but my scores just have not been what I want. I need at least low-170s as my GPA is low, and I'm currently averaging mid-to-high 160s raw and 170s BR. Please help me decide! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are my pros and cons.

Reasons to NOT take test in Nov:

-I'm not applying this cycle so I'm not in a rush to take the test

-Given that my low GPA and my work history isn't something I can work on, the LSAT (and the personal statement) is the only thing I have control over

-I'm fully committed to studying and really believe I can get the score I want

Reasons to take test in Nov:

-It's good to have test-day experience, there's value in having gone through that

-Score preview -- I can always cancel this score

-I signed up for the test, it's always good to follow through on commitments

-A low score isn't the end of the world

I saw it'll be up on here eventually... but does anyone have any data or know of a company thats posted it? I suppose one could just figure it out with repeated takes and increasing wrong answer... I just wanted to see how many I missed on the actual take without going through all that.

I got waitlisted at my top school. My LSAT falls below the median but my GPA is over the 75th percentile... what should I do? I would really love to go here, but I also have other options as well.

I'm taking the LSAT for the first time in November. I've been studying consistently (6-8 hours per day) since May and over the past two months I've been taking at least one PT a week. I wanted to seek some advice on what kind of study schedule people have found effective 7 days prior to taking the exam... I'm planning on taking two PT's, one this Sunday and one on the Thursday. Then studying roughly 8 hours a day (I'll be including those PT's as study hours). I've heard a lot of people talk about burning out and how studying "too much" the week prior can lead to overthinking on exam day. I tend to struggle with being confident in my answers and do suffer with test anxiety so I'm trying to avoid anything that will lead me to overthink on the day. I'd love any advice or tips people have for study schedules or what to focus on reviewing during the final week. Thanks so much in advance :)

Is anyone else feeling the tendency to try to write out a 'Why ___ Statement' for each school they apply to. I've written two unsolicited ones to essentially my TOP choices and I don't think my application is a shoe-in at either so I'm hoping this will be beneficial. I am also writing two other mandatory 'Why ___ Statements' (Michigan and Duke).

Weirdly now I feel 'guilty' for not writing unsolicited Why ___ statements to some of other schools lol.... Probs just stressing out at this point and I feel like any other Why ___'s would not be as convincing since truly they wouldn't be my top choices. Idk...

Anyone else feeling this?

Hi all,

I have take the LSAT 6 times -- 4 times years ago (158-160) each time. This cycle, I improved to a high score of a 165. Should I write an addendum to explain the increase in score?

Similarly, I have one opportunity to retake this cycle, but am not confident I will improve. Will it hurt me if I re-take the exam and perform worse?

If anyone needs LG help please reach out! I got a 167 on the October LSAT and have been tutoring for about 2 months now!

Came as admission swag last cycle. I won't be using it and it'd be a shame if it went to waste. Just take care of postage and it's yours. Leather, hardcover, comes with a pen... very swanky.

I'll mail it first class or media, but max cost I assume would be a priority flat rate envelope. Actually if you want it you could just send me a shipping label. Zip code 96706.

Claimed!. Claimant disappeared on me. Back up for grabs

I was averaging 169-173 on PTs just under a month going into October, which was going to be my first ever LSAT. Idk if it was the nerves or lack of sleep but I ended up making very costly mistakes on the LG. I usually bank on getting -0/-1 on LG to get my PT average, as my RC score can be inconsistent. I ended up misreading a conditional as a regular rule on one of the games, which was obviously a HUGE mess up. This took me about 7 mins to figure this out, as I went to straight panic mode. This was very costly because I usually finish LG right on the nick of time (around the 34 or 34.5 minute mark) for most of my PTs, so missing 7 mins made a huge impact. I probably had to take educated guesses on like 1/3 of the last two games because of the time I wasted, which really sucked cuz I even had the last and hardest figured out w/ the proper inferences, but just didn't have time to attempt all of the questions properly. This was my first section and it left me in shock mode for the rest of the test, and I ended up scoring 160.

Luckily I'm signed up for november and I have been studying after october cuz I basically knew I performed poorly due to that mess up (tho I thought I'd score a bit better than this). I'm still pretty much scoring the same, tho I think my LG and LR have gotten just a bit more consistent. But emotionally this has taken a huge toll on me... I'm starting to question my abilities and I'm having major doubts about myself. If anyone has any stories/anecdotes of similar situations w/ a good score on a retake, or just any words of encouragement/inspiration, I'd GREATLY appreciate it. Thanks for reading, I really appreciate the 7sage community here.
