I graduated from an ivy league institution back in May. How likely is it I will be accepted to the same institution’s law school having graduated Magna Cum Laude + LSAT range 167-171 (will take lsat january)

PT 81 RC from the very first section completely threw me off, to the point where I just didn't want to move onto the other sections

I stopped at the last passage because of the not-so-good feeling about the entire rc section.

I know that if I don't continue the pt, it won't be reflective of the actual test condition, but at the same time, I just feel like I'm going to be devastated if I finish the pt and see the result..

Should I just keep drilling other rc passages before I return to PT 81 rc at some point, at other time?

Does anyone know where I can find prompts to practice LSAT writing? For some reason, the "Get Acquainted with LSAC Writing" link is throwing me an error on LSAC.

Thanks!

I think avg time taken per question by type would be at least as helpful as "Priority" in assisting studying. I have a custom spreadsheet showing marginal benefit of studying by type of question and would love to have the time data!

So I already have two LSAT scores: 161 and 168. I was scoring high 160s and early 170s on my PTs in preparing for the October flex and aiming for a T 14 school.

But during the first section (LG) I made a stupid mistake and kinda completely lost control over my head. I had a semi-panic attack and legit had to focus on breathing for a few minutes during the entire test. I'm pretty sure that I won't get an over 170 score nor somewhere even close to high-160s, so I'm really confused as to whether I should cancel my score.

Do you think I should cancel? I've heard canceling is for pretty dire situations, but I'm still a bit shocked from how terrible my October experience was. Is it better to have taken the LSAT four times and show score inconsistency, or have three scores with one cancellation?

would appreciate any and all advice!!

I don’t know if anyone knows the answer to this but I am wondering if anyone knows whether you can essentially do macro level social work with a law degree or if you need an MSW? Things like community outreach/research, advocacy and lobbying for social policy change, etc

Does anyone know if we need to somehow “unsubscribe” the lawhub PTs?( I purchased the one-year one along with my monthly 7sage.) Dont want lawhub showing on my bills while grueling through my 1L lol.

I am wondering if it is possible to filter out the questions that I've done wrong from the question bank.

I stupidly have not completed the writing sample for the October exam yet but I am doing it today. With the score release day being October 23 and the fact that it can take 1 to 3 weeks to process the writing sample, I am wondering if people think I will get my score on the release day. And if not, since I purchased score preview, will I still be able to potentially cancel it before its released?

How much can be in the room for your lsat writing since they ask you to give a full room scan? Like should I move a bunch of my stuff out of view or do they expect there to be things since you’re doing it at your own house?

Hello fellow 7Sagers!

Long time reader, first-time commenter, here. I just completed my second LSAT exam. I canceled my first score, which was probably for the best, because of problems related to LSAC. They didn't send enough tablets for my first exam and having to come back and prepare myself for the make-up exam just bummed me out. Anyway, I have been studying for a very long time. I have been planning on taking the LSAT for over three years and have studied (off and on) at different levels of seriousness over that period. I felt super prepared for the exam. I don't know how it would be possible to be more prepared. I consistently scored 172-173 on PTs leading up to my exam date. And, my mistakes were always something silly; a consequence of not paying enough attention to stimuli on easier questions.

During the actual exam, I felt like I was on auto-pilot. I had never experienced that during PTs. I finished each section under time and feel good about LG. But, I have no idea how my LR and RC went. I have read a few posts of other students talking about this same feeling. But, I have not found a post about whether those same students received their expected score. Can someone please tell me if this is a good thing (haha)? I feel like my intuition has been conditioned to choose the correct answer through the course of my studies. But, my post-LSAT anxiety is forcing me to seek the advice of the people more experienced with the harsh reality of real LSAT performances and scores.

Could @"Juliet --Student Service--" or maybe another instructor let me know if this is normal?

I am clicking the link to link my 7sage account with LawHub, however it isn't working. Does anyone know how to link the two accounts?

Hey everyone

I just wrote the October Flex, and I completely bombed it beyond all imagination. I was PT at around 172 (using PT 70s and 80s), and then on the real thing today, I couldn't even finish any section, with about left 5 to 8 questions blank per section. I just suddenly wasn't feeling well. My brain just won't work the second I encounter any resistance/difficulty on the questions. Now about specific sections.

RC: I read the 3rd passage, and had no idea what it said. And for some questions, I had no idea what to do to eliminate ACs. LG: I saw the last game, my brain just didn't wanna do any setup, and went straight for the questions. LR: went through the first 15 questions pretty fast, but then I suddenly found myself skipping nearly every question.

Is it normal to completely bomb the LSAT this bad on the test day? Is there any resource that you guys can direct me to for test day stuff?

Thank you in advance for any advice!

I am looking for people to revise and provide honest feedback for my personal statement and addendums! I will do the same for yours.

I have approved extended time (time plus 1.5). is there a way on this site to use that extended time to practice for the real LSAT?

Hi - I am in the high 150s and am looking for two to three study buddies to help me get into the 160 range (and help you do the same, of course). Looking to meet via Zoom to blind review a few days a week. Right now I am taking 2 PT's a week, 2 days to BR each, then a drilling day. I read a past thread on here of a GREAT method to BR in a group and would love to employ said method.

If you're interested, please let me know!

This is seriously so embarrassing, but I have been studying for going on five months now, averaging about 15--20 hours on a good week and I have taken six practice tests. The highest I have scored was a 148 once, but the last few tests were 143-145. I feel completely discouraged. I have put so much time in already and my score has actually gone down after two months of studying. I am equally bad in all areas it appears. I cannot figure out where I am going wrong or if my brain is just not meant for this kind of stuff, especially after reading that people are scoring 160 for just their diagnostic. I am signed up for the November test, and I do not know if I should push it out further, but I hear it is harder to get in if you apply so late in January. I am also going to school full time and graduate in the Spring. It is a lot trying to do both at the same time. Help! Also, I cannot figure out why I can do fine on Logic Games, but during the practice test, it is like everything I know flies out the window. My reading comprehension is also horrid, despite doing well on many practice problems.

So I am super late to the game but just recently figured out that CAS is not 45 dollars total but 195 dollars plus 45 for each school. I definitely can't afford that for every school on my list. I indicated that I did not need assistance paying for the LSAT and could afford it but dropping more than a grand on applications between their fees and CAS is something I cannot afford to do. I am worried that applying for a fee waiver will take longer than I can afford to wait to apply though. For those of you that have done it, how long did a decision take?

I've heard conflicting advice on including those 'extra' sections (Academic Interests / Travel / Random Facts) intro your law school resume. Does anyone have some thoughts on this?

Right now I have my resume drafted as to include all three (because I have space and because I just wanted to put everything on the page and then remove as necessary).

Has anyone spoken with LSAC and found out if they're leaning towards Flex for January & February? I just tried to register for January but there aren't any test centers available, which is strange because there are always test centers available this far in advance.

February has the generic "(city) area test center" listed instead of the usual specific centers while April does have the specific centers.

Hi folks! I have been studying for months and am registered to take my second LSAT in November. I'm unsure whether I should go ahead and take it in November or push it to January. My last 3 PTs were: 168, 168, 167. I desperately want to score at least a 170. I work full time so I don't have 40+ hours a week to study. I study in the mornings, evenings, and all day weekends. For people who have been in a similar situation before, do you think 30 days is enough to have that breakthrough into the 170s?

Thanks so much!

Did your proctor have to put in the password each time a new section started? I took the flex today, I have accommodations but I'm not sure if this was normal or not. I don't want to freak out so if this also happened to you, please share!

I've been working my way through the PTs starting with the earlier ones. I have pretty consistently been getting a 161. This week I took a practice test from 2017 and got a 167. Was this a fluke or are the newer ones easier?

This is a pretty basic question but I have been unable to find a clear answer online.

What is the format of a standard LSAT? All the practice tests on here are 4 sections. Is that standard? I know this has changed with the new FLEX test which is only 3 sections but the January test looks like it will switch back to a standard LSAT format.

I have also seen things online about 6 section exams or 5 section exams... and have heard of an 'experimental section' being in exams. Is this 'experimental section' scored? Do you know it is the 'experimental section' when you take it?

I am also curious on the timing aspect? Is there any break between sections? I would assume so since you have 35 minutes per section and I do not believe you can go back to a prior section if you finish a later section early. How long is the break between each section? I have seen info on a 15 minute break between section 3 and 4 but that is it. If it were a 4 section test I would expect the break to be between 2 and 3?

I apologize if any of this was hard to follow, just wanted to lay all my thoughts out there.

I'd love to have a better idea of exactly what the format of the standard LSAT is to make sure I am preparing properly.

Thank you in advance.
