Hi 7sage peeps! I am curious if any of you have experience with submitting requests for accommodations after the deadline LSAC lists (in my case, Sept 23 for the Nov 7 LSAT). I submitted my initial materials (candidate form, statement of need) several days after the deadline and added some backup documentation from my doctor (it was super hard to get an appointment because of the pandemic). Has anyone submitted materials after the deadline and still been approved? Or is it hard and fast cutoff? In my case, there have been some extenuating circumstances that caused me to submit late, and I explained that in my email, but I am not sure if LSAC takes those types of things into consideration. I really just want to know if there's even a chance, and if there's not, then I can mentally prepare myself. Thank you to all!!

I am comfortable sitting on a floor pillow with my computer on a low table. Is this arrangement allowed for the LSAT Flex?

I'm scoring -0 ~ -3 on LG

but havent done any RC passages and am scoring -8 ~ -12 on LR so I don't think I'm ready for Nov even though I want to take the FLex.

What do you think are the chances that Jan will be a Flex??

Just wanted to say that good things come to those who put in the work! Have confidence in yourself, don't get discouraged and take mental health days if you need!!!!! I started 7 sage in March with an initial score in the low 140's and I just hit a new high of 164 on a practice test and a 172 on BR. We got this!!!! I go through the core curriculum if I need to brush up on anything. If you don't understand something the best thing you can do is go back to the videos and review!!!! I am taking the Nov LSAT in a few weeks so heres hoping everything goes well on test day.

Hi! This is obviously a long shot, but my scores are in the 140s right now and I am trying to get to at least the low to mid 160s. I have finished most of the core curriculum at 7sage, have been drilling in the 5lbs manhattan book, went through the powerscore bible and the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy but I am seeing very slow improvements. I started about 1.5 months ago and have been studying 10-14 hours a day while looking for jobs and also working a part-time job. This pandemic has also brought a lot of stressors into my life, so I am not in the best state of mind and am having trouble retaining information. Also, not seeing any improvements on my LSAT is definitely adding to my stress. I am taking the test in November but will definitely retake it in January. Anyone with a study schedule or strategy that has helped them make big improvements in their score please let me know what worked for you. I am open to trying new tactics as my old ones are not working.

Any tips for the writing sample for people who type very slowly?

Hi all,

Taking the LSAT in Jan. I've completed the CC and The Loophole in the LSAT Logical Reasoning. I've taken 8 prep tests with my latest and highest being a 174 on PT 69 (my last three scores have be 167, 170, and 174, spaced about a week apart each). I know I'm not out of the woods yet so any tips on how to approach the next 3 months would be greatly appreciated!

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?

Hi all,

My initial diagnostic test was at 149 and I completed the entire LSAT Trainer curriculum and at the end of it I scored 160. I am having a hard time improving my score, consistently scoring 160-165 range. I get about 6-8 wrong in every section. I just recently discovered 7sage and have been kind of regretting not starting off here, and feel like I may have wasted too much of my time on the LSAT Trainer.

I have been foolproofing LG because I know that's the easiest to improve, and I do see improvements in my reasoning, but under timed conditions I'm not yet able to fully grasp the concepts and answer all questions correctly. However in BR, I can score around -2. Any advice on how to get quicker at thinking through and understanding LG would be great.

I'm not sure how to tackle LR and RC, so any methods or pieces of advice would be really helpful! I think figuring out a way to improve in these 2 sections can help me improve my overall score.

Ideally I'd like to score between 170-175 and I know I probably won't be ready until the next cycle of LSAT exams, but I'd like to gather as much info as possible to better map out a game plan. I appreciate all the advice in advance!!

Hello Everyone,

Just wondering if any November test takers have chosen their testing date/time? Im not sure when we get the ability to do that. Any insight would be appreciated!

Hey! It says on the LSAC website that built-in webcams are okay, however, I will be taking the exam on a desktop computer. I've read that the proctor will ask you to show them the entire room and it's just not possible with a built-in webcam.

Has anyone taken the FLEX already with a desktop and can advise on this? Do I need to rent or purchase a webcam? Thanks guys

In the recent months, I've seen posts on Reddit where people are PTing all time highs of 160+, right after the change to Flex. Not sure about here, but I presume its likely the same. The format of Flex makes LG and RC worth so much more than before. Also, there is a consensus that LG is the easiest to improve at. Now that there's only one LG, RC, and LR section for Flex, it'd be far easier to get a higher score by even only improving your LG since it's weight is worth the same as LR and RC.

I'm not sure how all of this is going to impact the admission cycle for 2021. A little worried about this, but I suspect previous admission scores won't necessarily be a good indication of what scores will get you in for 2021. I suspect it will probably be a few points higher.

What are your thoughts?

Hello all,

I was initially going to wait until after taking Nov LSAT but I just couldn’t wait... so I did it. I applied. It was really exciting and now the anticipation begins. I do have questions. I will go ahead and take the Nov lsat regardless. But will the updated score get sent to the schools I applied to before the decision is rendered? What if the decision is rendered after I take the lsat? I’m guessing I will have to go through the application process again for all of the law schools with the updated score?

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!

Hi did anyone skip sections and go right to the tests? I'm kind of anxious to see if I have retained what I have learned.

Hi all, I was wondering what are some KEY lessons/videos/sections in the syllabus that I should definitely watch to help keep my mind refreshed and alert for the types of questions or important relationships that are constantly seen in the LSAT. I'm fairly new to the 7sage curriculum (I finished the LSAT Trainer curriculum) and I don't have time to watch all the videos by 7sage even if I want to.

I hope this makes sense, thank you so much in advance!!

Hey 7SAGERS! So, i'm registered for the November LSat and am around 4-5 points below my target score. Do you think this is possible by test date? I'm thinking of taking three practice tests per week as timing seems to be my greatest enemy (missing questions at the end because time is running out). Thanks for the advice and good luck to all!

Does anyone know where I can find a logical reasoning questions categorized by the flaw (Ad hom, equivocation,etc.)

On LSAT Flex rules it says that you can only have 5 pieces of paper and a pen/pencil + eraser without a sleeve. Are mini whiteboards prohibited? I believe they are but just wanted to double check since the GRE uses them.

Thank you!

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?

Hi, I just took my first digital (FLEX version) PT and had a big big mental breakdown from the beginning. The format was not something that I was expecting tbh. Especially for RC, I couldn't even see the passage at once and had to scroll if I wanted to refer back when solving a question. Do you have any tips on getting familiar with the flex tests?

I just took the lsat writing portion on my boyfriends desktop computer. It passed all the system checks and everything like that, but while I was writing something popped up that said “prohibited application in use: game bar”. I didn’t know what that meant so I just pressed ok and kept writing. Then I asked my boyfriend what that was and he said Microsoft game bar is always running in the background. Could that make my writing disqualified? Or would they be able to see that I obviously didn’t use it? Should I call LSAC and explain?

Hi everyone! I'm taking the LSAT-Flex in November and currently I'm doing 2 PT a week. However, my score is still fluctuating so much. Are there any PT that measure performance more accurately than the rest?

Thank you!

Can you wear ear plugs during lsat writing? I thought you could but when you go on the proctoring thing it says no ear plugs unless you have accommodations

Hi for those of you that have taken LSAT Flex or know of people who have taken the test, how long did it typically take to receive your score?

I am in a dilemma right now, my school's documents are due February 1, 2021 and I am planning on taking the January 16 test (assuming its going to be Flex as well).
