Does the Official Proctored LSAC Test look EXACTLY like the LawHub Practice Test Format? I just tried 1 question and found the layout so different I couldn't focus LOL

hey guys!! I haven't submitted my writing portion for the August LSAT yet, and I was wondering if anyone knows when the last date we can submit it by is? I have heard you can submit it after you have taken the test so I decided to do that instead

I would prefer to use my PC to take the remote test as opposed to my tiny laptop, but my PC sometimes freezes, forcing me to shut it off and restart. This doesn't happen often, but it happens enough to make me a bit worried.

My question is how strict they are with tech issues. If my PC decides to freeze during the test, can I restart and continue like normal without deduction in time? Or do I get penalized?

Will there be an actual human, at least at the beginning, of my LSAT? I had an issue with the Argumentative Writing where I couldn't get my external camera to focus on my ID, but wasn't able to switch to my internal camera (which has better focus for reading IDs) because if I tried to switch the recording stopped. I wasn't worried about it though, because the writing sample is very low stakes, and they just asked me to email them a picture of the same ID I was trying to scan. But I do not want to make the same mistake on the real test day and have my score get canceled or something. Maybe I'll try holding a picture on my phone of my ID to help the camera, as some people have said that helped them get a picture; but just wondering if there's someone I will be able to converse or that will actually be watching me during the test.

I am aiming for a 165 on August/September LSAT, I've been sitting in the low 160s, but have made massive gains in LR. For example, I just had my best LR section today, scoring a -2 on a tough (3 star difficulty) PT section. To couple that, I've been trying to get my LR down to the -3/4 range to give myself more wiggle room on RC. For some reason RC has just not improved, if any maybe become worse. I just did a 15 question drill, on 2 tough art/spotlight passages (my 2 worst by far) and got 8/15 wrong. (Lol) What am I doing wrong with RC??? I feel like a lot of the time I read the tough passages I kind of just have no idea what the fuck is going on, get to the questions and try to fill in the gaps with my wrong ACs, and kinda exacerbate my passage ignorance.

I have done 18 prep tests and I guess I did not realize that there were only a limited number available. I only have one left to do and since 7Sage reflects the prep tests that LawHub has I really have none left since the earlier tests I have used most the questions in drilling. Are there other resources that I can access full prep tests? My scores have been extremely volatile ranging from 163 to 155 with the RC sections as the biggest influence. I take the LSAT the 9th of this month and was hoping to try and gain more consistency in my scores.

Has anyone gone into an LSAT or PT not intending to get to the last 5 questions? Studying for 4 months and my PT scores are below where I'd like them to be -- taking August and October test. I'm able to get 90% accuracy if I'm 10-20 seconds over the question target time on average (difficulty level doesn't seem to make a difference).

I know it would be ideal to naturally increase speed with accuracy but that's not the world I'm living in this week. I would save enough time to make strategic "guesses" at the end, but I'm thinking I'd rather miss the 5 last questions vs 7-10 throughout because I'm freaked out trying to finish the section. Is this a bad idea? Has anyone done this?

I'm taking the August LSAT. I am consistently PTing in the high 160s. I have made substantial improvements over my journey even though I have only been studying for around four months. This whole law school thing has been a new goal for me, I didn't consider it until last winter and I'm graduating in May. However, I want to succeed - like really succeed. I want to get into a law school, I want to prove that I can do well on this test, I want to prove to myself that I'm capable of putting my mind to something, but I can't seem to get higher than a 169. I know I'm not totally prepared for this test. I know not all the concepts are totally solid for me. But I've been successfully intuiting a lot of the harder questions. I feel like I'm fast enough at the other questions that I can give myself enough time to really handle the others. I'm a good test taker. Still, I feel like all this effort is pointless. I'm disappointed. I worry that if I retake the test later on, I'll be even less focused on studying because of college and that'll hurt my score even more. Most of the mistakes I'm making are on a select few hard questions, but it's still so demoralizing not being perfect. I don't know at this point. Any advice?

This might be a dumb question but do wee need a designated time to complete the argumentative writing like with the LSAT? Or can I go on to complete it anytime after it opens? Are there designated hours or only weekdays?

I am having trouble determining how/if it is using my drill results in my recommended drills. It says on the "drill by tag" page that it looks at PT results. However after a drill you can toggle "dont use in priority calculations." Does it or does it not use drill results when determining needs for practice? The total questions answered right/wrong are from PTs only, or drills as well?

Thanks!

Would it be possible to add an option to remove the transparency effect on the "your score" number after submitting a drill?

I just noticed that you can vaguely make out your score despite the transparent effect, which is really grating, as if I can see that it's 100%, I know that all of my answers were right; if I don't see a 100%, I know that one of my answers were wrong; regardless, both options undermines the uncertainty that's supposed to help me think through the questions more carefully during blind review before checking the correct answers.

It would be really helpful if there was an option to completely hide or mask the score until we press the intentionally reveal button.

Hey all,

I've been consistently scoring in the low 170s for the past several months, but can't break the mid-high 170s barrier. I signed up for the August and September test but am hesitant to go through with August.

For those who have reached the high 170s, what what your experience with breaking past the low17s? Is one more month enough time to break that plateau, or should I anticipate taking the test in October? I really don't want to take the official test again without consistently scoring in my goal range.

Thanks!

I've noticed that my Analytics Overview bar graph seems to be in Eastern Daylight Time, even though I have my correct city/Time Zone selected in my settings (America/Los_Angeles - PST). Does anyone know if there is a way to get the graph to sync up with settings?

I really love that the graph allows me to see my consistency/progress over time, but it just irks me that it sometimes looks like I skipped days that I didn't actually skip because of the time zone difference.

I have taken 10 PTs, over the last 2 months, and eliminating outlier of 156, EVERY SINGLE PT has been between a 159 and 162. I felt bad at the beginning, and then thought I was getting better, and now have felt poor on these last couple of PTs again, this is worse than jumping around. Spending 3 hours a day to score in the range of 4 points is ridiculous. I have the august LSAT coming up in 2 weeks. I've been studying 3 hours everyday, I've tried changing up strategies for LR, going faster at the beginning, slower at the end, but this is still just giving me the same curve of wrong ACs.
