Need Advice!

Hello 7sagers,

I am a graduating senior this Fall 2020 and I wanted to ask how you guys are able to balance a rigorous workload (school, work, etc..) and study for the LSAT as well. I've been able to study consistently these past couple of weeks because of summer classes being pretty lax, but as the school year picks up its going to become more difficult. I'm a little anxious because of how the semester might be, so I'm reaching out for advice. I have a couple of questions down below you can answer, but if you have any other advice you can offer don't hesitate to drop a comment! Thanks for all your help and I appreciate it in advance.

What were ways you used to relieve stress?

What were some metrics you used to measure your growth?

How do you maintain a healthy work - life balance?

LSAT Test Date Change

I have decided to push my August LSAT date to October but can not figure out how to do it! The deadline is August 21st, so I emailed the LSAC 3 days ago but they haven't yet gotten back to me and as I live in Canada, I'm avoiding calling as long as possible so I don't have to pay international rates. When I go onto my LSAC account it says I am registered for the August one but it says I am not eligible to withdraw. Also under the general forms section where there is a test date change form, its from 2018 so that's not much help! I also don't have an email from the LSAC that had the option to obtain a coupon instead of writing the flex.

If anyone has any advice on how to change my date that would be much appreciated!

I am totally lost with the 7sage interface. I thought I could click the recycle button when I am reviewing, or go back to "PrepTests" and click on the PT I wanted again, but no luck. I just can't figure out how to retake a part of a PT in the regular format in which I can cross out answers and have the correct answer hidden. I would appreciate any guidance here. #help

August Exam

I am scoring just a few points under my goal score on the past couple PT and noticed a trend. For LR, I am usually getting 13/15 correct on the first 15, and then shit the bed on the last 10 ish and go -10 for test section. Does anyone have any similar problems? Should I just drill more difficult questions ? maybe i should skip 15-20 and jump to last 5 ?

thank you

I requested accommodations for the October LSAT and I am pretty certain I will get approved for 50% additional time. I'm wondering if I should do 50% additional time on practice sets and PTs, or if it would be beneficial to try to do it within the regular amount of time so when it comes time to do the actual test it will feel somewhat easier with the extra time?

I just tried the 2nd logic game from PT8 - did it as a problem set.

I was COMPLETELY stumped. completely. i guessed on 4/5 questions.

then on blind review, I realized that scrolling was necessary to see the last, and most important, rule.

I would hate so much for this or something like this to happen on the actual LSAT.

how similar/different is the 7sage problem set/prep test platform to that of LSAC's?

is scrolling for additional rules a factor on the digital LSAT?

is the system for greying out answers you rule out the same?

what's the best way to simulate the actual digital environment?

I just got an email from LSAC that the October test will be Flex. I score lower on the Flex PTs and I am wondering if I should change to the November LSAT to have more time to prepare. My only worries are that December is pretty late to apply and I couldn't retake it. Should I take the October Flex and register for the November one just in case, or should I just switch to November completely??

Will LSAT October be flex?

Hi guys,

I know this is a boring and impossible-to-guess question, but I can't stop worrying about it 😂. Does anyone have any idea? I'll probably call a representative sometime this week

Hi everyone,

I wanted to write this post for people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness/disorder and are considering applying for disability accommodations. If you feel like studying for the LSAT is a lot harder because of your diagnoses, my advice is to consider talking to a therapist about applying for disability accommodations. I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder my junior year of college and got good grades because most of my finals were take home and had amazing understanding teachers. However, the LSAT was something that I just had a lot of difficulty overcoming and felt like I had to sacrifice many things in my life and study 10 hours daily just to catch up on time loss from getting stuck on obsessions or doing my compulsions. After one year of studying and talking to my therapist, I realized that OCD is something that I simply couldn't shut off when taking practice tests so I applied for disability accommodations for extra time and got it! I realized that life does't have to be so hard and that accommodations was going to put in a fair playing field. I'm writing this post because a year ago when I first started studying for the LSAT, I didn't know that I could qualify for LSAT accommodations because I assumed that it was only for people diagnosed with a learning disability. But now that I know more, I wanted to write this post for anyone who also has OCD or a different mental illness to consider applying for accommodations. You deserve to make life easier for yourself. I hope this message can shed light for other OCD sufferers studying for the LSAT (3 & def sending positive vibes for the disability community ! We are strong and worthy of going after our goals.(/p)

Need a realistic perspective

My diagnostic score was a 153. I plan to take the LSAT in January which gives me roughly 6 months. I plan to study 1-2 hours every day 5 days a week and take 1 PT a week starting mid October. Is it possible to hit 168? My lowest by far was RC. I haven't delved into the course content yet on it because im doing logic games. Should I be working on that right now since I started studying or is it ok if I do LR and LG and then move to RC?

LSAT-Flex Ctrl-F Search?

Has anyone received confirmation from LSAC that it is okay to use the search function (Ctrl-F) during the test? Also even if LSAC approves it, would it be any potential miscommunication with the Proctor U staff during the test day?

I feel like ive developed a solid grasp on the test. I have mastered LG so I consistently get -0 on it every PT -- my wrong answers typically come from LR and RC. BRing takes a really long time and so im wondering if my time is better spent just ditching the BR and doing targeted review after each PT? Any advice would be appreciated as im really torn up on what to do and i want to permanently jump out of the high 160s and into the 170s for the August exam. Thanks!

I'm taking the LSAT Flex at the end of this month. My laptop's built-in mic hasn't been working for the past week and I learned, today, that replacing it would mean replacing the entire laptop. I have a desktop microphone I can use but I'm unsure of whether LSAC allows this while taking the Flex and I can't seem to find an answer online or get anyone from LSAC on the phone.

Anyone have experience with this?

Hi there! I am currently scheduled to take the August LSAT flex (it is now spread out over a week) and signed up for one on September 2nd. I know that typically you have until the day before the LSAT to drop out, but since this one was supposed to be on August 29th, I was wondering if anyone knew if I had to drop by the 28th or if I could drop on September 1st. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I'm consistently seeing a gap between my actual and BR scores on the prep tests, where my actual scores are in the mid 160s and my BRs are mid-high 170s. This is usually driven by my RC and LR sections - I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for bridging this gap?

I'm taking the August LSAT so looking for anything I can do that could help me improve my score in two weeks. Any tips would be helpful, thanks all!

I understand that having experience in the legal field would separate a person from other applicants and boost admission chances. However, if I did not have any legal experience yet had an above average GPA and LSAT score would I still have a good chance of admission? Basically, how necessary is working in or having an internship in law in applying to law school? I'm going into my senior year and I have a 4.0 GPA and am aiming to score in the 170s for my real test (I scored 164, 175 BR today on a practice test). This year I am also going to write an Honors Thesis for my major so I don't know if I will have the time to obtain a legal internship until the summer. I plan to apply in October of next year.

I scored a 144 on the July flex LSAT and want to score a 155 on the October date. I barely studied the first time, is my goal score too unrealistic or is it realistic? Just need feed back, because I'm very worried. Trying to apply for schools, so I can attend next fall. Help!
