Hello!

So, I registered for the October 3rd LSAT and all it tells me about the testing center is that it is "near Toronto" in Canada and it does not give any more details about location. Does this mean I cannot choose my testing location or do those options become available later? I was just wondering if this is normal or if I did something incorrectly when registering.

Thank you in advance!

I’m sure this has been answered somewhere but do law schools see if you cancelled a score? Just wondering if it would look worse to get not a great score or to cancel a score

Does anyone else feel discouraged when their LSAT score doesn’t improve no matter how much you practice ? I am currently stuck with my score and I don’t know what else to do. I practice 18-20 hours weekly with LR & LG, I have been doing this for over six months now and I don’t see any difference in my score which makes me very discouraged. I also noticed that with LR questions, I’m almost close to choosing the correct answer, when in fact I chose the wrong answer and that keeps happening. If any of you guys have any tips on what I could possibly do, I’m not taking the LSAT until November. I would very appreciate it ! Thank you

I just took a 3-section PT on LawHub but chose to take the second LR section instead of the first -- I didn't realize that the Flex Simulator automatically removes the second LR section. I really want to log my results for this Flex PT onto 7Sage, so is there a way somehow for me to choose to include the second LR section instead of the first? The obvious answer seems to be no but maybe putting my question out there can lead to an update that allows users to choose which LR to include.

Thanks for the help! :)

173!

Standard success and "thank you" post to 7Sage. J.Y. and crew, y'all are legends. Of note: I did switch up my study techniques, and how I used some of the 7sage tools. So, if anyone is on a plateau feel free to reach out. Generally speaking, I really leaned into the questions I got wrong and questions that took me too long. I also had to fool proof every game possible. T'was a grind y'all. Good luck!

I got a 178 on the July Flex thanks to 7Sage, a consistent study partner, a good study environment and luck!

My study methodology:

I took my diagnostic in February, and then did the 7Sage course over the next three months while working full-time (50 hour work weeks). I started diligently studying in mid-May: I took my first practice test 5/23, and started averaging ~168, and ~171 BR. My highest practice test was a 174.

I took the week of July 4th off from work, and starting doing drills. At this point I was doing PTs about every 3-4 days. I kept a spreadsheet tracking all the question types I'd missed, and did drills of the LR types I was missing most frequently (Flaw, Weaken, NA). For drills, I did smaller problem sets (~10 questions) of each problem type at each difficulty level (i.e. 1* Flaw, 2* Flaw, etc). My study partner (a close friend with a complimentary strengths) and I would often go over questions either one of us missed on a problem set, or once did an entire LR section together and talked through how to approach each problem and predict answers. RC was the section where I saw the most improvement: I went from -7 to -2/3 on problem sets. The key for me was reading quickly, but thoroughly and making sure I understood what each paragraph or shift in structure contributed to the overall meaning. I would highlight important names or key dates, and underline the main thesis. For the most part, I would get the answers right with my gut instinct, and the ones I missed were usually answers I had changed at the last minute. So, on test day, I just decided to trust my gut and not flip flop between answers. I'm also an avid reader and spent most of my downtime reading (when not studying or working), and I think that helped me quite a bit. LG was my strongest section from the start (my diagnostic was -0) and I was pretty consistent throughout my studying. The key for me was doing the initial games pretty quickly, so that if later games were tougher I had more than enough time to map out game boards or brute force the game.

I took a day off before the test where I just read a novel all day, and didn't stress about the test. On test day, I felt pretty calm, but walked out of the test having no clue how I did. My biggest piece of advice would be to not over-study, and to be relaxed on the day of the exam (even if it means forgoing some days of studying). I even signed up for the August Flex to relieve the stress of doing well on the July test. Good luck to you all!! Feel free to PM me with questions - this community really helped me when I was studying!

When I applied to some tutoring places, they asked for an official score report. I logged into my account, and clicked "view LSAT registration and statuses." I scrolled down, and I assume thats where you normally find your official score report. However, theres a green box with an arrow, and the icon legend says that means "not available." Does anyone have any insight on this? How can we get an official score report if we took a Flex? Do I have to email LSAC myself? Will they provide me with one? Do I wait a few more months? Or am I looking at the wrong place?

LG-Misc

Have there been misc games in the recent tests? I am full-proofing LGs in PTs 1-35 and don't want to spoil the more recent tests for myself but would like to know if I should be dedicating equal time on the misc games as much as the rest?

Hi guys!! I'm having some trouble with Logical Reasoning, specfically with SA/NA/PSA. I have gone through the CC, read powerscore/loophole/trainer, and i just cannot figure them out!

I'm taking the exam in August and was hoping to create some problem sets with these questions and go through them. I'm looking for someone to do this with me/listen to how I go through it and aid me ?! Thank you so much!!

I finished reviewing my latest PT and landed a 162 on PT 46 (granted the LG section was easier than usual but wins are wins man). I am now going into my last 2 months of studying for the October exam date. If anyone has any suggestions/tips on how to keep the momentum going that would be greatly appreciated!

As of right now, I work full time and reserve about 20-25 hrs/week to study (literally all the free time I have). I drill PT sections throughout the week, do full PTs every other week, and am halfway through reading Loophole by Ellen Cassidy (should finish in the next couple weeks).

I'm trying to hit at least the 90th percentile (around 165) but I'm BRing in the high 160s/170s so I feel like with the proper tools and study habits I have a shot at scoring above 90th which would be a DREAM. What other studying habits/practices have helped you? Should I try to take a full PT every week instead of every other week? Thank you all in advance!!

Hi all. I've finally finished my LSAT studying journey, so first of all: THANK YOU 7sage, and THANK YOU Mike Kim!! I'm very grateful to those two systems, which allowed me to reach my goals after around 10 months.

Something that I referred to constantly throughout my studying was this post from a few years ago, which lists the hardest LSAT sections, according to 7sage's ratings system: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/71zteo/hardest_most_difficult_lsat_sections_ever_listed/.

Basically, I've decided to make an updated version of the post. I'll also post this on Reddit, as the original poster did. The only thing I've changed is that I've tried to include all available tests, rather than leaving early ones out. All I did was enter blank versions of the tests into the analytics system, and note which were 4 or 5-star sections. Many sections' 7sage ratings seem to have shifted in the years since that first post; this is something I noticed as I was studying, and one of the reasons why I wanted to do this updated one! I've tried to put weird tests (A, B, C, C2, F97, and J07) where they actually occurred, chronologically.

So, here are the LSAT sections that 7sage's analytics rates at 4 or 5 stars, as of August 2020:

LOGIC GAMES:

5-star: 27, B, C, 34, 88

4-star: 5, 18, A, 30, 31, 35, 62

LOGICAL REASONING:

5-star: 5-S1, 7-S4,17-S2, 17-S3, F97-S1, 23-S3, 28-S1

4-star: 1-S3, 3-S4, 4-S1, 5-S3, 8-S1, 8-S4, 9-S2, 10-S4, 11-S4, 12-S4, 14-S2, 14-S4, 18-S2, 21-S3, F97-S3, 22-S4, 24-S2, 26-S2, 27-S1, 28-S3, 33-S1, 39-S2, 45-S1, 62-S2, 69-S4, 70-S4, 71-S3, 72-S2, 76-S2, 78-S1, 81-S2, 84-S3

READING COMPREHENSION:

5-star: 30, 65, 74, C2, 79, 84

4-star: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 15, 18, 19, 21, F97, 26, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 35, 38, 43, 45, 47, 48, 50, 51, 53, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 73, 75, 76, 78, 81, 82, 83, 85, 86, 87, 89

I opted out of the August exam, but my LSAC account still says that I am registered for it. I have a message on my account confirming that I opted out for August and that I am awaiting a coupon to use for a future exam. The message says that I should get an email within a couple of days, but it has been weeks and I haven't received anything. I wanted to check here first before I call/email LSAC.

For anyone who's in the same boat, did you get your coupon already? Does your LSAC account still says that you're registered for August?

I earned a 172 on the July exam, which was my peak (not average) for my PTs so I was shocked and excited to get this score. My ultimate goal is to get a 173+ because I'd love to get accepted to HYS. I definitely think there's a possibility of me getting in since I also have a 4.0, but I'd feel a lot better if I had a higher LSAT. Worst case scenario, if I earned lower than a 172 on the August LSAT would that hurt my application, or have no effect & is it worth it?

Hey everyone, I will be taking the flex test this August and will be focusing on doing practice tests the rest of the month. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for which practice tests they have found particularly useful to work through. Any and all advice is welcomed. Thank you in advance! (:

hi guys. for those of you who have taken an LSAT Flex already I was wondering how the proctoru registration works. I am registered for the August flex; am I supposed to register for an account myself or will LSAC email us directions about it? If so, do you know when they typically send out this email?

Thank you! :)

I've just taken my third practice test, and not once have I finished a single section on time. Sometimes I have as many as ten questions left on a given section. I am able to do fairly well on my BR (168 on my second test), so I think that comprehension is not the main problem. I am just not able to get through the questions quickly enough. I would appreciate if you guys could share with me what methods you used to become faster at taking the test.
