Hey there,

Is it possible to view the videos offline? Watching the videos on the subway would be a great use of my travel time.

Thanks!

I took PT 73 today and my score dropped immensely compared to my previous score, although I think my exposure to some of the questions on the previous pts (and also the previous pts I took were in the 30s and 40s) did inflate my past scores. Still, the score drop from the early 160s to 150s is really making me sick to my stomach. I keep making these excuses that I wasn't pting in a normal test environment (I took PT 73 in a really noisy cafe), but at the same time I feel like I'm going to do as bad as today, especially in the recent pts. I keep studying, drilling, blind-reviewing and reviewing all the mistakes I've made, but I feel like sometimes, I'm either not progressing or worse, regressing. I know I should keep studying, no matter what, since I don't have much time left before test day, which is a month away. But, I feel really discouraged and frustrated right now, to the point where instead of studying, I'm lingering around the discussion form.

I'm taking the LSAT in 3 days and I know I won't really be able to make much progress from now until then, but should I still be doing drills? Or can I take these 3 days to work on application materials?

I took the test and now it’s time for the writing section. How does it work? Do I have to schedule a specific date? Or can I start whenever I want?

I took a PT under full on testing conditions this morning and somehow scored 177. I was PTing around ~170 in recent weeks, so I was surprised, and a little confused since my score hasn't budged in a while. Does anyone know if PT 81 was randomly much easier than normal? I poked around old discussion threads, but only found posts about the RC section.

Hey all,

I've been preparing for my second LSAT, taking a practice test each day. For a while now, my PTs have been around 167-169, with the occasional odd ball (164/165, 170/171, etc.). However, today, upon taking PT 70, I was gifted with a 176. Is this test unusually easy? I took part in a study session yesterday that taught me some helpful tricks for LG, as I normally get the first three sections all correct, but don't have enough time to finish section 4, but did not have this issue today. While I'd love to say this is me using the new strategies, I find it hard to believe I grew this much this quickly from the singular event. I'm just trying to figure out why I had the sudden jump in points.

Thanks,

Hunter

For anyone who sat for October but is also planning to sit for November, how are you allotting the rest of your time? Just finished my test today, and I'm testing for November. But now I have to put more time toward my essays and applications + continue to study. How is everyone else going about this?

Holy test gods! I just completed the October-FLEX and it was an all-day affair. I’m being hyperbolic, but I did sit for much longer than I’d anticipated, so I wanted to do my part and offer some guidance:

When deciding on your testing time, allow much more time for the test than the 2 hours LSAC recommends! My test was scheduled for 9:10 AM. I did not get started (by no fault of my own) until 9:30. I got disconnected from my Proctor at the very end, and due to long help-desk wait times and other technical difficulties I did not “check out” until 4 PM! Which leads me to my next point…

Invest in an Ethernet adapter if you are using a device that lacks an internet cable hookup. I would not recommend relying on a WIFI connection for the test. I was hooked up using an Ethernet cable, and I was still disconnected numerous times. At one point, my computer completely froze and I had to restart it entirely. (For context, I have a highly functioning 3-year-old MAC. I think the plug-ins that enable screen sharing with the proctor are pretty intense. My tech had two open at once when the computer froze.)

Anywayyyyy, good luck ya’ll!

And to those who sat with me today: however you feel you did, pat yourself on the back for having gotten this far. You’re awesome.

Hello! I'm registered for the November exam. I know that test takers have to register for a particular exam date & time. I was wondering what the time options for the October exam were. Were folks able to sign up for their preferred time? Was the sign-up process easy?

After a long horrendous journey of waiting for my writing sample to be approved to receiving a score 6 points lower than my PT average, I feel like sh*t lol In hindsight, I know this is my first score and it's not completely terrible... however, I am just super disappointed in myself. I came out of the August exam feeling pretty decent about it and thankful that I didn't have any proctoring issues. I was hoping that feeling of calm meant that I performed well and would get a score within my PT range.. so I guess I am just in shock. I really want to dive back in and start studying again, but I just don't think I have the mental strength to do so right now. I think I am mainly upset because this test has really taken so much out of me mentally and emotionally over the past year or so that I was really hoping this exam would be my ticket to freedom so to speak. I really wanted to close this chapter of my legal journey and move on, but I feel so stuck now. I am signed up for November so I know I have a second shot at it, but it also feels like my final shot at this coming application cycle. Any advice on how to move forward? I feel so defeated

My analytics say I need help in these areas. I would greatly appreciate any advise about how to approach these questions or how to best use 7sage to study in these areas. Thanks!

Hi everyone. Does anyone have tips on consistency scoring so much lower than BR? It's just such a difference in scores and I know I have to do better on timing... but has anyone experienced this? And how did you overcome this? Honestly any advice would be great.

I'm taking the October Flex, so I've been doing simulated Flex PTs every day for the last month or so. But my recent PT scores have been fluctuating a lot and that is kind of freaking me out a bit. My last six PTs (from 76-80) have the following scores: 167,173,165,163,169,164. Granted, some days I might be more in the zone than others, but all this fluctuation is making me really unsure how well I'll handle the actual October test, which is just a couple of days away.

Has anyone else also experienced this kind of fluctuation in their PTs? And what should I do to calm myself/improve my chances in these last few days before the test? Ah man all this uncertainty is really getting on my nerves.

Hi everyone,

Recently it seems like the old goal times for games have disappeared and seem to have been replaced by seemingly random times generated with strange goal times (ex. instead of 6 mins for PT 15, G3 it's now 7:52 for some reason). Can anyone comment on this and is it possible to bring back all the old goal times for games?

Please let me down easy if I shouldn’t be, but I am wondering if my PT performance means I should be confident about taking the actual test. My most recent PT I scored a 165 which I would be thrilled to get on the actual exam. This is a big increase from my first flex PT which was a 152. I obviously always do the PTs timed, but since I live with 6 other people there is always a lot of distractions so I almost always have to stop and come back to the section I am on. However I will have a quiet space to complete the test on test day, so I’m hoping it will be easier to concentrate. Should I be confident that I am capable of getting another 165?

I setup mine for the 6th and was wondering if there was something else I had to do? Do I download any app or software or do I just login on the website when it is my turn? I am confused how this goes. I haven't seen or read about anything if I need to be downloading something.

Announcement from LSAC:

More information about LSAT-Flex

I started studying a few months ago, with a 160 diagnostic. I slowly creeped up to mid 60s, then low 70s, getting close to mid 70s with a top score of 177. Then, about a month ago, my score started dropping. I still get in the low 70s, but more commonly am now dropping back to mid 60s. My 163 today really did not feel great. (And this was after taking a full day off!!)

However, through this entire time, my BR score has consistently been 175-180 (most commonly a very specific 177, for some reason). So clearly I still know my shit, but just have completely lost how to do it during the test. What the heck is going on, and how can I reverse engineer this?

Alas, I am taking the October LSAT-Flex in a week... and there may not be enough time to remedy. (Though I do have first time test taker cancelling thingy, and am signed up for the November test as well.) But would love any thoughts!!

I emailed LSAC the other day to confirm its still allowed and they stated specifically it is allowed still.

Do we need to print out our admission ticket for the Flex? Assuming no since I no longer see it available in my LSAC account and it just said to bring an acceptable photo ID.

Also, do we see a webcam version of our face on the screen at all times?

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

Any tips on staying motivated right now? I recently took a few weeks off from studying right before I started working from home. Now that I'm trying to get back into a study routine, it's been really challenging to study after already sitting at my desk for 8 hours during the day. If you have any tips/suggestions, please send them my way!

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.

Do any previous LSAT takers have any tips for things to do day before the exam? I was planning on taking one lat practice exam around the time my exam is scheduled fro the following day, casually BR and then calling it a day. Any tips?

I’m a new 7Sage user. Been studying for the exam for a while and recently took a PT today where I scored a 161 but a 170 for BR.

How much should I read into this? I’ve been in low-160’s long time but this is personal high for a BR score.

I know it’s not the real score but wondering how one should read into it and what it represents?
