not sure if this is a silly question and i know everyone is different but is it recommended to be doing the syllabus in order? or should be looking at different chapters at once

Do I need Prepplus if my account predates prepplus itself?

Hi, I was wondering what everyone has been doing or has done in order to practice and prepare for the LSAT writing portion. Is there any practice materials you recommend?

How do you all prep for the essay? I don't see too many practice prompts out there. It seems easy enough, but just want to be prepared.

I am applying for accommodations, as I have had a recent bought with migraines. I wanted to know if anyone had similar reasons for applying for accommodations, and any tips about the process as well. Thanks so much

You probably didn't.

But in case you're feeling this way, I want to say a couple of things before you cancel your score.

First of all, congratulations on completing the LSAT. What an exceedingly difficult challenge—but you did it! For what it's worth, I am proud of you for your hard work over the months and your accomplishment today. I wish I could shake your hand because I would do it earnestly until you said "J.Y. stop it."

Please get together with your poor friends whom you've been neglecting for the past x months and drink your collective faces off. On you of course. I mean that literally as in have your friends drink things off your body. And also in the sense that you should pay because you've been such a bad bad friend.

If that's not appealing, please get together with your friends and spend a lovely and sober evening together not nourishing budding alcoholism. But you should still pay for whatever it is.

Okay, on to business.

Your score will likely be a couple points lower. I'm sorry, but that is how it goes. It's completely normal to feel stressed out on test day and that's likely what causes the "test day penalty" that everyone talks about. Objectively, that just happens.

Subjectively, though, your stress might distort your impression of that fact. It might distort your impression of your performance by overemphasizing the negative. You fixate on things like how rushed you felt, how much you guessed, how you never guessed on PTs, that one LR question that you just couldn't figure out, etc. That's what contributes to that dreadful "I f***ed up" feeling. But don't let that get to you. All of that has already been taken into account under what we call the "test day penalty".

If nothing objectively terrible happened, like you had a seizure or heart attack during the test, your city suffered a major earthquake, the guy sitting next to you was so frustrated with the 3rd game that he stood up, ninja stared the proctor in the leg with his sharpened #2 pencil and yelled "F******** EVERYTHING!" and stormed out of the room, then mostly likely, you did just fine.

It has to be fine because the LSAT is a very consistent and reliable test. And that's a good thing. Why would PrepTest whatever be "special"? It can be "special" only in so far as any of the other PrepTests were "special" and you've already preptested those other "special" PTs.

So there it is. If you're thinking about canceling your score, I hope you'll read this a few times and think about it carefully.

Hi! I have been using my Mac to review 7Sage. I got a new MacBook Pro yesterday and now I can't see the entire video, nor will it allow me to scroll down to access the "next" button. I can scroll through the syllabus, but not the videos.

Help! lol

Can someone explain score cancellation? What is the purpose of it? Especially when we have not gotten our scores back? How would this effect the application process if we do cancel a score? Is there an overall advantage or disadvantage to to this process? What if I don't cancel but retake the LSAT in April and get a better score the second time around? Do I have to cancel in order to take another LSAT Flex? I took the Jan Flex and I feel like I didn't do as well as I wanted, but I still have some hope I did well. I'm spitballing the idea but I'm not sure what that means entirely.

Just looking for some clarification!

Thanks!

I've been studying since around end of November using other resources, but it's not until now that I've really gotten into the nitty gritty and regularly taking PTs. I work full time and do find myself slacking simply because the days are so long and studying can be draining as we all know. I do my best to study at least 2 hours a day with a PT every weekend. I'm definitely behind because I missed a few weeks of studying due to some personal reasons.

My original goal was to take the April exam but as it's creeping up, and the registration deadline is approaching, I'm not sure how confident I feel. My PT's are nowhere near where I want them to be. My initial reasoning behind taking the April exam is so I could give myself time to take the test again if need be, and still apply for schools this fall... If I take my exam in June, do you think I'll still have time for another test if needed, plus applications?

I just registered for 7sage after I heard a lot of great reviews from friends/family who have used it, and would love to follow this study schedule, however it advises me against the April deadline (even though I have done studying prior and could probably skip a few course lessons/use it as review)

As the LSAT is online for the foreseeable future is it advisable to print out prep tests or practice problems and do them on paper? Isn't it better to just do them online using the 7Sage online interface.

I was trying to use an LSAT pdf that I had to take a timed PT.

Free adobe reader only allows to highlight the text. But I can't mark or free-hand using mouse to underline/pick text/ACs.

For those who use PDF computer version to take PT, any solutions?

Which method is better, to finish through the Core Curriculum, after then return to questions that I missed and redoing them, or to work on getting each question set until I get them correct before moving on?

Hi folks,

I decided to take the plunge and start the LSAT journey (again...long story). I'm now in a home office FT job so I have more steady hours, but my schedule for a planned Aug 2021 LSAT has it at almost 35 hours per week which floored me. With work and family situation, I simply can't add 35h/wk onto it.

My diagnostic was 150 (not great, but whatever) and my goal is 160+ for most Cdn law schools. So, I'm really looking for 10-15 points. Does anyone have any tips on how to lighten the weekly load but still get to the goal?

Thanks!

Decided to start PTing using tests from 2018 because of the short runway available to me -- absolutely bombed the LR section on the two I've attempted so far. LG is reasonable and RCs are occasionally tough but I'm stunned by how difficult LR questions are from Q15 onward. Has anyone else experienced this??

I know that I probably should just get my mind off it and relax but I Can't.

I'm literally going through every post about the test on reddit and on 7sage to, i don't even know, validate my own feelings? lol

My pt average for the past 7 tests have been around 170.5, worst PT being 168 and the best being 173.

On the real thing, the anxiety was insane i totally feel like i bombed the whole test except LG which I had 8 minutes left bc it was so damn easy. I wish I got a hard LG and easier RC because LG is my best section smh

Honestly I can't even remember what I read during the LR and RC sections.

I hope that my actual score is within my range. It would be so disheartening if I end up a full -10 below my average

Does anyone else think their intuitions after the test are the same as the real score? I honestly think it could go either way (good or bad) but the fact that I can't get a grasp is giving me really bad anxiety.

Is there a way to make my own problem set and save it for later, similar to core curriculum problem sets?

Hi everyone. After scoring a 168 (4-5 points below my PT average) on the November LSAT, I have been studying for a retake in February. Since the November test I have been averaging over 175 and have scored as high as 180 (this felt great but it also stings that it wasn't on an official test). Does anyone have any advice on how to keep this momentum going and what my study plan should look like? I'm thinking of relaxing things as I don't have much room to improve and just need to lock in performance.

Also, does anyone have tips on performing up to or above your PT average on test day? Although my average is higher now, I would still like to avoid a 5 point drop if possible. From the advice of others on here, I have taken up meditation and am trying to adopt the mindset that my official test is just another practice test. Is there anything else I should try?

Thank you for the advice.

What do you guys think?

Hey,

I wanted to ask about the Ultimate+ subscription I have got. I am considering whether it would be better for me to shift to yearly/monthly or keep paying for the monthly package I have (honestly seems much cheaper). I am trying to figure out the LSAT pre plus, I know its 99 dollars/year but I am not sure if 7sage provided me with it for a year only or if it will be automatically renewed for me? will i have to pay 99 dollars later on? and how do I know the exact expiry date?

Sorry about all the questions, Thanks for the help in advance

#help

Wanting to cancel until score release (my sub renews Feb 2) so that I don't get stuck paying for an entire month if things went well, but will I lose all progress/exam bank/all of that if I cancel and resubscribe later?

Thanks
