I got 163 in my first take in August LSAT and continue to stuck in 163 in PTs. My LR is usually -4/5 but my LG and RC fluctuate between -3 and -8 depending on how the test goes. I'm really frustrated because each test there's always that one section that I would miss -8 or so (sometimes I could -2 in LG but -8 in RC and other times -3 in RC but -8 in LG). I really don't know how to improve except for keep taking more PTs because I fell like I know all the fundamentals in LG and generally if the game is not some curveball weird games I could perform well (-2 or so). Should I retake in the upcoming October LSAT or push back to November? I can't decided mainly because I want to apply in this cycle and not being able to get an ideal score until the end of November makes me nervous about the application timeline. In the meantime, I don't see how I could get a score significantly better than my average 163 in October which is less than 10 days.

For logic game explanation vids they are now showing a computed "target time" instead of the old suggested time bench marks that used to be there. For example, for one game he says in a video that you should aim for under 10 minutes for a game, but my "target time" for that game is 8:38. Is this an update? Before today I had never seen such specific target times under the videos. Also, In the past the time always seemed to line up with what JY said. Is there any way to switch this back?. Also how are these target times calculated?

Looking for a study partner to practice for the November lsat. Would love for both of us to take 2 PT's a week and then BR them together and talk about what we missed and how to improve- honestly mostly to keep each other accountable and hold each other to a strict study routine as this is the last month. Im trying to take PT 69, 70, 76, 80, 84, 85, 86 88 before the November test. Please message me if interested.

Hello Sagers! I have a quick, possibly trivial question regarding the online UI for the LSAT Flex that maybe someone who took the August exam could help me with: Is there a way to mark or blank out answer choices as eliminated when taking the test online?

I find this feature super useful when going through 2 or.3 answers with the fine-tooth comb after I've eliminated other choices. Wondering if I should continue to use this feature on 7Sage or get used to taking practice exams without it. Thanks!

How close before your test day are you planning to take your final PT? For example, I'm taking the October flex on the 8th. I'm considering taking a PT on the 3rd, and then taking the 4th-7th completely off. I'm hoping to experience the effect where people hit a new personal best score after taking a few days off from studying. Does this seem like a good strategy? Should I take the PT closer to the test or further?

Thanks for your input. Good luck!

Do we think LSAT Flex will be used for the April 2021 test administration?

Hello,

I am new to 7sage and considering enrolling in the full course and I just have a quick question about the design of the course. Is this course designed to go through the course curriculum and then start taking PT's? Or does it mix in PT's as we complete the curriculum? Thanks in advance!

Hi, all. I am just curious about a particular type of visualisation. We are all familiar with the idea of drawing diagrams for LR questions, and the necessity of competent diagramming for LG. But one thing I have never head discussed is this: when people read a text they will, or they will not, make an internal image of what is being stated. It is not necessary to do so to understand the meaning of a given passage, yet certainly for any novel, and for many other mediums, doing this provides a richer aesthetic experience, and perhaps might even result in a more clear understanding of the text.

So here is the general questions: does anyone think that constantly visualising nearly every image on a RC or LG passage to be a benefit?

Accountability partner anyone?

Hello,

I was was wondering if anyone knows when the last time slot for the test would be.

The october LSAT Flex was from 7am - 7pm EST. Does that mean that the last test starts at 7pm or the last test ends at 7pm?

Thank you!

Hello everyone, how is the writing portion for the LSAT flex administered?

do we have a time to do the writing portion?

thanks in advance

Hi everyone,

I'm not a super angry person, but something about the LSAT brings out frustration in me. I'm three weeks into studying and I'm having a hard time maintaining focus while studying, especially during the logic games. I just get so frustrated because I feel like I'm not making progress because I'm not acing sequencing games after having already moved onto grouping games (not going well). This frustration sometimes makes me miss inferences and get more frustrated. Any tips to increase discipline/decrease frustration?

Hey guys, so I am registered for both the October and November flex. I am currently not where I want to be scoring, but still it's a huge improvement from my first flex. I'm confident I can improve my score even more with one extra month of studying. The benefit of taking it in October is that I could potentially apply earlier to schools, and it reduces the stress of relying too much on the November flex for a good score. But then I would have three LSAT scores as opposed to just two.

Would it be better off to take the November test and then retake in January or wait off until January to take it for a higher score? And this is for the current cycle!

Hey, I'm aiming for a 165+ on the Nov. LSAT FLEX.

On my last five prep tests, I'm averaging just under that score, around 163 (173 average on BR).

I'm dropping a lot of points on LG with a median score of 15. I'm doing decently on RC, going -2 or -3 on average.

On LR, however, there's definitely room for improvement with a median score of 21/25.

Where do I go from here?

Ideally, I'd like to improve on both my weakest sections, LG and LR. I've been using 7Sage and PowerScore till now.

I heard the The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning by Ellen Cassidy offers a different and effective way to tackle LR, but the book only just arrived in the mail.

Should I try to absorb new material now, or would my time be better spent focusing on LG?

Thanks guys! Best of luck to everyone writing the test in November.

I took the LSAT 2 years ago, on paper in a testing center, I have decided to take it again to try to get my score up. I'm a bit nervous about the digital format but am slowly adjusting to it. I'm not sure what to expect on test day, I've heard so many different things. Can anyone elaborate what the check-in process is like, and in general what to expect? I also heard on the PowerScore Podcast that there was no bathroom breaks, can anyone confirm?

HEY Nov takers!

Now that we're at the T minus 6 weeks mark, I was just wondering what everyone's study plans are to get in their best shape for November.

Personally, I struggle the most with RC (consistently -7 or -8); do fine with LG and LR (-3 to -5). Therefore, I'm going to try to drill historically difficult RC passages, drill historically difficult LG games, and then hopefully take 12-15 Full Practice Tests before Nov 7.

I feel like I'm still lacking a bit of structure. Curious as to what others are doing to gear up for Nov 7 to see if I can get a bit of inspo. Happy studying & best of luck to all!

Someone please help! I’m panicking because they changed the registration deadline for the November LSAT. I have tried calling LSAC to see if I could still register, but the guy basically told me I was SOL. Will it really be that bad if I take the LSAT in January??? I know most law schools do rolling admissions and I’m really worried those extra 2 months will hurt my chances of getting in.

for anyone who has already taken this thing, i just wanna make sure i have the right idea about what this thing is gonna look like come test day (this weekend):

So all we do is log on to the proctoru site, when the countdown reaches 0 click to enter our "test room," have our gov issued id on us and paper nearby for the games section, and listen to the instructor from there, correct?

Anything i'm missing?

'Preciate any feedback!

I know w/ LG problem sets we can create a fresh copy but how do we do that w/ preptests? I like to do one section at a time and then check my answers and then move on to another section...

Thanks!

Is there anyone who rescheduled the October Flex to the November one, which is properly displayed on LSAC, yet still has the October exam scheduled on ProctorU?

I'm worried that cancelling the October Flex directly through ProctorU would have unwanted consequences, but also worried it'd show as a no-show or something along those lines if I left it there.

Does anyone know how to go about this?

Thank you!

So approximately 9 days from this moment I will have finished my LSAT. I am still struggling to eke out any little improvement this week, but I have read recommendations that people do not study too much the week of. For those of you who have taken this test, what were your plans leading up to the test. So far what I know is that I want to take a few times tests on Law Hub this week, maybe Saturday and Sunday. My exam starts in the evening local time, so my plan day of is to sleep in, exercise a bit, take a nap, and relax ahead of the test. Maybe warm up with an easy and fun LG or review 7sage lessons then grab protein heavy meal (raw fish and broccoli I think) an hour or so before.

Anyone have advice or experience?

For personal context I am an extreme super-splitter trying to hopefully use that Elle Woods LSAT to overcome an awful undergrad GPA enough to get both admission and scholarship to T14. Range has been incredibly consistent, 174-177 all month, but I am hoping these last few tests will help me to score at/above my upper range by improving on even one or two weaknesses. I feel like I need another two weeks, but I do not have that.

However, hopefully other people will find this helpful so if you can preface whether your advice is general or specific to me that would be great.

I'm new to 7Sage and just took an exam in flex mode (both timed and Blind Review.) I assumed that I would be able to go back and take the second LR section to see how that would affect my overall score, however I don't see any option to do so. Is this possible? How can I access it? Thanks!

Hello! I have a 3.7 GPA from an Ivy League school, and I took the LSAT 3 times. The first time I got a 154, the second time a 164, and the third a 168. I was told by at least one school that I need to write an addendum, however, I'm struggling with the right language to explain my massive score jump. In reality, I was in a PhD program that I was planning on dropping out of, and I was trying to balance studying for the LSAT while also doing all of my normal grad school work, although I don't feel like this is a good enough "excuse." Another reason is that I just didn't give myself enough time to study, and the other scores are the result of many months of studying + a prep course. Can you help me figure out what kind of language to use for this problem? In addition, I was on the dean's list every semester of college except for 1 semester where my GPA dropped to a 3.2. I don't have much of an explanation here, except for the fact that I was taking really hard classes that were outside of my major. Do I need to write something about my GPA, or should I keep it to my LSAT? And what language should I use around the LSAT score?

Thank you!

Who else is waiting to take the traditionally administered LSAT once it returns? I feel like I'm at a disadvantage with the flex because LR is consistently one of my best sections and feel rushed with the 60 second breaks. Is there anyone who is or is thinking about holding off their application cycle because of this? Also, does anyone think admissions offices will react differently to applicants later in the cycle given the drastic immediate changes to the exam this year?
