Hi I took a preptest recently and a blot of my answers were blank when I went into the Blind Review part. Why does this happen and is there a way to make sure it doesn’t happen again?

So I don't know if it's too late to petition to change my October Exam to November, but if it is I do have a question and I'm not sure which is wiser; should I change to November? Some background info; not applying this year, retaking a 163, underperformed last time and afraid to repeat, pting average of -.6 LG, -4.3 RC, -2.5 LR over past 10ish tests.

Flex places a higher importance on RC which is something that impacts me greatly since my range is from -3 to -6, and a -6 in RC on test day pretty much forces me to only miss 1 question just to get a 170. I'm working on RC but I'm not sure I can drop a -4 to a more reasonable score.

For the record, when I last took the LSAT I was pting around 171 and with my current pt's I really want to be done with the LSAT. Apologies if it seems like a flex, but I'm more concerned with underperforming what I seem to be able to get. Also due to recent strides in RC from an average of -5.1 (a little worse since I'm discounting some tests that I can't find records of) to this I was a little optimistic.

I'm not really sure, maybe I don't have much of a choice and have to take the October or cancel, which I'm not going to do, I'd rather just take it, but I thought I'd ask for advice.

Thanks in advance! Good luck in your journey, if you have any questions otherwise feel free to ask.

Edit: Thanks for your responses everyone, if you did have questions about LSAT tips or anything I'm happy to answer but now I'm confused, the test change link is for 2018....as in the dates are referring to test date changes from 2018 on the petition to change my test date.

Hey! I am having a strange technical glitch on a prep test I just finished (PT 46). After I completed the timed test I went back to complete the BR. I noticed that it indicated that I left several questions blank as the grey color was not filled in on the bubbles. This occurred on section 2 LR (q21-25) and on section 4 LG (q 9-22). This is not possible because I finished each section with time to spare and double checked that each question had an answer selected. I really hope this can be fixed and my answers can be restored because I a few hours on this PT and would like to start the BR and get an accurate picture of my results. I am taking the LSAT on October 3rd so this is a critical time. PLEASE HELP ASAP.

Has anyone who took their LSAT writing results on September 3rd or later gotten their writing sample accepted? Worried at this point that my session has been flagged which is entirely possible because I had my backpack in the corner of my room which apparently triggers their system.

Hoping it goes through before the 18th so I can get my results back for August...

I noticed earlier that the website was down for me. The website has been working for a few hours, but I did a PT and when I went to do blind review most of my answers hadn't saved. Now that I'm doing blind review, my answers are still not saving. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hey guys, I just designed my own problem set for reading comp and when I came back to review my answers I couldn't figure out how to view that specific problem set that I designed for myself. It isn't in existing problem sets and when I add those passages it just seems to be giving me a fresh copy?

I'm trying to figure out how to review my own answers :(

Thanks!

Hello all,

I hope you are all doing well with studying for whatever month you decide on taking the LSAT. I have signed up for November and will most likely take January, and was wondering if at this point in your study cycles you seem to have "rougher" days than others? For the past few days my LR and RC sections have been very strong as I have averaged -1 to -5 which is pretty good for me. However, there seem to be some days that it really does not click, and I will do much (!!) worse than usual. I do not know if this is maybe me burning out or simply having a bad day, but wanted to see if others were in the same boat approx 2 months out from game day. Thank you and good luck studying!!

Heyyy

just wondering if anyone have had the experience of unexpected quit from the PSI Secure Browser for LSAT Writing? don't know what happened but when i reopened the app it asks for an exam code and the link from the LSAC website does not work any more. called the technical services but have been held in line for more than 20 min now.

any help or sharing of similar experience would be greatly appreciated!

I'm wondering for those taking the October and November 2020 LSAT-Flex, does the proctor need to be in full view of you using your scratch paper? As in, does the camera need to be angled in a way to view your surroundings including the scratch paper that will be used? Thanks so much.

I saw a recent post by someone who was supplementing their 7sage curriculum with the loophole. They organized a study session, but i believe it was a while ago. I would love to meet and go over Translations/CLIR for a certain PT. Would anyone be interested?

Hello! Is retaking a past exam still an ok indicator of progress? I retook an exam which I took Dec. 2019 (and haven't looked at since). I'm wondering how I should interpret a exam results of a test I'm taking for the second time. Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm just a regular, kind of fresh college graduate (only been several months since I graduated, but if you don't count that as fresh, it'd do nothing but making me sad...) looking for some study buddies who are willing to work with me on serious LSAT prepping.

After having studied by myself for almost 7 months in total (been on and off, though) and recently started getting some help from a private academy in Seoul, Korea out of desperation, I feel confident that my fundamentals are pretty good given that I consistently get very high 160s and low 170s from each BR of the recent PTs I'd finished.

But, on timed runs, I suck too bad and still make an unbearable amount of mistakes in LR and RC.

If you'd been on with your prepping seriously for a decent amount of time, you know very well how terrifying it is to be bad at this test and getting scores that you don't like to see over and over again.

I want to get out of that crap.

And I think it'd be great if there was someone who I could work with to talk about some things I've never really had any chance to share with anyone around me (as a Korean living in non-Seoul area and surrounded by only Korean-speaking people) and see the silver lining together along the way.

So, if you're interested in making a new friend to study with and open to sharing your own feelings and thoughts about this monstrous test with me, I'd be delighted to meet and make our prepping journey more fun and sweeter with you as we run towards our respective goals.

Incidentally, if you're also interested in learning the Korean language, I'd say it's not a bad bet to give a try on studying with me (I'd done some LA work back in college in an Intermediate-Advanced Korean course with a handful of only English-speaking American students. So, who knows. By the end of your LSAT studies, you might become proficient in another real-life language as well!)

I'll leave my email address below, so please shoot me a kindly email if you think this could be a good opportunity for yourself as well.

Thanks.

Just took my first LSAT after I started studying. Since I will be taking the Flex in November, I felt taking a PT as close to possible as how it will be on test day made the most sense. So I clicked the Flex option. At the end, the score displayed seemed based on the number wrong in a 4-section test, and not a predicted score. It also recorded my score as if I had done the extra LR section. Is there a way to change this? I want a more accurate record and to not get overly excited at the end of the test.

Hey y'all,

My PT score has dropped pretty significantly these past 5 or so tests (went from 172--> 167--> 167 —> 162 --> 161) and I've been struggling to keep up morale. Any advice on how to keep motivation high going into the last 3 ish weeks before the October test? ***For reference, I just started taking the later PTs about two weeks ago, and most recently I took PT 72 and got 161. I don't know if I'm just in my head, but they definitely feel tougher, esp in LG and RC.

I plan on taking a day off tomorrow because it could just be that I'm burnt out (have been doing 3/4 tests per week and drilling in between test days). Any tips on how to get out of this funk are very appreciated! How do you all take care of your mental health during lsat studying?

Hi all, i am hoping for some advice as to what i should do the last few months for pt's before the November test. I started studying with 7sage at the end of February and got a diagnostic score of 141. I then went through the CC slowly until the early part of May. I then read the loophole, foolproofed, and worked on sections until July 1st when i took my first timed pt. I have been doing timed pt's since then once a week roughly with thorough review, foolprofing, and timed sections from 1-35 in between each test. My last three scores have been 164, 160, and 160, with BR's 0f 166-170. My concern is I have only done 11 timed pt's so far, 60-70. If i keep up with one a week that will put me at roughly 18 before November. Do you think i should be doing two pt's a week so i can get to around 25 by the time November rolls around? I see a lot of suggestions about having 25-30 timed runs under your belt before the real thing. On the flip side, if i do not score how i want in November (165+) i may end up delaying a cycle and studying until next summer. I am afraid i may not have enough clean pt's to do this if i bump it up to two a week in preparation for November. I am not sure what to do and would appreciate any feedback, thank you!

I've been prepping since March using 7sage while working various jobs. When I started 7sage, I scored a 169 on a diagnostic PT (I had already studied LG quite a bit). I've been taking PTs and seeing myself slowly improve (scoring around 171-174) but the problem is my RC sections fluctuate SO much anywhere from -1 to -7. Recently, this has gotten even worse and I just scored my worst on a preptest , doing awful on RC in addition to lower on LR & LG than normal. I take the October LSAT and I can't believe after all of this time, work, and money, I've had minimal improvement. I honestly do not know what to do at this point to improve, and this is the most discouraged I've felt during my time studying and I guess I just needed to vent that. If anyone has any RC or general help for someone with only a couple of weeks left, let me know because I certainly need it.
