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!

Hey Guys!!

I've been studying for the past 9 months. And have consistently scored mid 160's in the past two months while PTing. For some reason Pt 79 my score dropped. Drastically!! I am talking high 140's :(

Anybody else have significant drip with PT 79. Or just have a huge drop in general. Is this common? Should I try not worry about it too much.

Hey Sagers,

Is there any way to remove or update answers on my Analytics page? It's showing I've only taken two exams (which I've never taken), with blank answers for each one.

Thanks! #help

i have noticed that my scores in LR and RC have dropped once I moved into the pts in the 80s. Does anyone know why this could be? For example last weekend i took pt 74 and got a 160 today i took pt 81 and got a 150 missed 2 in LG but did horrible in RC and LR. Are the pts in the 80s more difficult?

I have been practicing with a pen, but on my last practice test I accidentally wrote down a rule wrong. I caught my mistake quickly and scratched it out, but then it tripped me up for the rest of the game because of the visual clutter. What are your thoughts? Should I be using a pencil so I can erase when things like that happen? I know erasing large mistakes can waste time, but what about smaller things like copying down the wrong number in a rule?

Hi y'all!

I started doing my LSAT practice way back when. I felt like I hit a ceiling, then I tried 7sage and realized that I was gambling not solving. I have seen then BR religiously, doing the modules in my problem areas and seen the gains in my PT score. However, I wonder at what score should I consider a getting a tutor to focus to help me deal with my personnel individual problems?

If anyone could share their personal experience with tutors, it would be helpful!!!

So the digital forum is in a few days and I'm wondering if I should be preparing for it by researching the different areas of studies, externship/clinics, financial aid opportunities, etc. for the schools I'm interested in before going into the event? I'm wondering if it'll look really bad if I don't know much about the school when I talk to an admissions officer/school representative. Is this an opportunity to potentially "wow" them and leave a good impression? Or is basic understanding/knowledge of the school sufficient?

Also for those of you who've attended the October digital forum, were you able to speak with the dean/admissions member one-on-one or was it really difficult to?

Hi people,

I am taking the November FLEX and currently debating on whether to register for the January FLEX. This decision ultimately comes down to whether or not I will have my results before the registration deadline for the January administration (Dec 2nd).

I am wondering if I will actually know my result from the previous exam before the deadline. It seems plausible in this case because typically it takes about 3 weeks to get results, but LSAC being LSAC I would not be surprised if they announced scores on Dec 3rd, forcing me to pay another $300 for an LSAT I may not need to take (YAY LSAC).

Would love to hear what people think about this one.

I'm a bit new to this and don't know a lot. Is the writing section mandatory? Does it cost money and do you take it the same way as the LSAT (like having a proctor)? Looking for any info! Thanks(:

Hey! Since the flex test is now the official form for the next few tests, how should I do the preptests? Should I stick with doing full PTs or should I only complete one LR section and compute the score myself? I feel like only doing full PTs before the Oct exam threw me off when it came to doing the flex. Any advice for how to go about this?

I really hate this test. Like I really really do. But I finally beat it! I have three pieces of advice:

On RC, if you are struggling with time or around -5/-7, you're probably going back to the passage way more than you need. Try going back less. You'll save time, but probably not much accuracy.

Chill out on test day! My anxiety DESTROYED me (and my score) on the July exam. Part of my success on the Oct exam was that I had adapted a "f*ck it, what ever happens, happens" attitude after the emotional rollercoaster of the first two exams. I was able to focus on the questions on the test on Oct, instead of worrying about how the test was going while taking it. Try to calm down!

For LR, before July, I was getting -3/-4 purely on intuition. I hadn't really understood argument structures, indicators, etc. Starting to actually learn the logic of what was going on made me much more consistently score -1/-2.

Before my Jan exam: Khan Academy, Bibles, 7sage

Before my July Exam: 7sage (mostly PTs, not much curriculum)

Before my Oct Exam: Tutoring (DM me for info, I highly recommend my dude)

Standardized testing is a classist scam designed to gatekeep higher education. I despise the fact that the LSAT ruled my life for 1.5 years, but I'm immensely proud of myself for persevering. You can do it too!

My diagnostic was a 147!! It took me a month to get to the 150s, 3 months to get to the 160s, and alllll the rest to get to the 170s. YOU CAN DO IT! It will suck. But this test is learnable. You got this.

Hey everyone,

Anyone out there taking the Feb or April LSAT and looking for a study buddy/ acct. partner? I work full-time. Evenings are usually best for me. Please let me know if interested. I really want to do well & need help.

If you're retaking the LSAT and already have a writing sample on file, do you have to retake the writing section?

If anyone knows that would be helpful! Thanks!

I am currently registered for the Nov test but I think I want to take more time to study and take it in January instead. I’m really confused on how to change the test date on LSAC. Please help!

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.
