Arguably the best on the planet at LG. However, his low / high resolution method on RC, from the reviews I've seen, has not received the credit it deserves. Double honor sir!

Hey guys :)

I am getting closer and closer to being ready to start taking practice tests, and I would love your input on how best to practice for the Digital LSAT.

I have been reading this Reddit thread which has given me a lot of great info on what test day is like, but I don't know where to start in terms of practice!!

Some guiding questions:

Do you take practice tests on your computer? iPad? Do you use a stylus? Do you purposefully take the tests in areas that will have a glare?

Thank you so much!

I just took the Jan LSAT at USF (University of San Francisco), and the tables were TINY. It was very hard to do logic games because of the limited space. The tablet already took up half of the table!

I don't think this negatively affected my score, however, it was really annoying and I wanted to give you all a tip so this can potentially avoided for you all. I do understand that sometimes the LSAC will assign you test centers that you didn't choose (this happened to me, I actually chose College of San Mateo which is a great testing center).

TLDR: Avoid USF testing center, tables were super small.

Hello all,

I just wrote the January LSAT and am throughly upset how my test was administered. My testing room was located beside an active lecture hall. Although I could hear the professor lecturing faintly, that was not the issue. The issue was that During section 1 of my test the lecture finished. Subsequently, a large group of students congregated outside our class and were having conversations loud enough in which our whole room could hear. To make matters worse, this occurred once again in section 3. Collectively, this occurred for approximately 20 to 30 minutes of our test. To make matters worse the door which was being used for that lecture hall was broken and would make an incredibly loud screech every time someone entered their class.

We had 3 proctors in our room and it was not until half way through the third section where a proctor went out. Throughout this, it was loud enough to spark our proctors attention as they were consistently looking out the class door window to see what was going on. I understand that distractions are bound to happen, but I assumed that proctors would at least attempt to mitigate them. I do not understand why 3 proctors were needed in one small room yet not a single one in the hallway.

As a Canadian applicant, this was my last chance to test for Fall 2020 admissions and a cancelled test is not an option for me. If anyone could please advise if it is worthwhile to make a complaint it would greatly appreciated.

Hoping someone can assist. I at times am unable to focus and feel scatterbrained when taking the exam under time constraints. I have been trying the meditation piece which is in the CC. Is there anything else my fellow 7 Sagers might recommend that could help me shake the rushed scatterbrain feeling when taking practice test? Thank you!

Hello everyone! I was curious about using IF/Every with negations. I understand that you essentially negate the necessary variable in the sentence and move on ward (These are the quiz's im talking about https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/quiz-negation-4-answers/ Q.2). My question is that when we look at every as a sufficient in group one, we never had a negation attached to it. When do I know to negate the premise after every and when do I know to take it face value as in previous lessons? Unless I missed it, we were never taught why we are suddenly not taking every at face value as the sufficient and leaving it at that?

Hello,

I just took my first LSAT yesterday (Jan 2020) and immediately signed up for the April test because I really felt that I could do better. Without knowing how I actually did, I am trying to come up with the best study strategies for the next 3 months.

My PT score average was 166, with recent lowest at 163 and highest at 170. (I am pretty sure my score from yesterday would be around the lower side of my usual range, if even. I choked and ran out of time more than usual).

Ive been studying since September 2019 so about 4 months, just self-study with LSAT trainer and Khan. My biggest concern is that I went through PTs 48-81 already and I’m afraid I don’t have many fresh recent PTs left.

To prepare for the retake, I’ve ordered LG bible and Loophole for LR. My weakest section is RC but I’m not sure how to study other than just practicing. Timing is a challenge for me.

Is there any wisdom that anyone could share, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for your time!

So I took the LSAT at Xyna international school in Canada.

The test centre was noisy. Like there was a large vent which would go off at random times and it sounded like a drill.

The proctor also wore heels, which made a lot of noise due to the wooden floor.

-People were talking during the break which I believe isn't allowed (during my previous test we were told not to talk to each other during the break)

I heard test centre complaints could delay your results or even result in a retest.

I'm applying to schools in Canada.

Hi, guys,

I am having a problem with the time to answer the questions. I started a month ago and it takes me from 2.30-6 min to answer a question. I heard that it is ok for the beginning but still want to get some advice, is it a correct and most effective way, start with longer time and later (i don't know when) try to cut the time? Any advice appreciated. Thank you.

I remember when I first found this website last year after 5 months of studying for the LSAT and one cancelled score. I wrote the test two more times and ended up with a mid/high 160s score. Maybe I didn’t quite reach the 99th percentile on the real exam but I scored well enough to be confident about some pretty great tier 1 schools. For that I owe this community a big thanks: I wouldn’t have had the motivation to keep going without you.

I received my first acceptance from my state University on Friday, January 10th. This was a surprise since I had only applied on January 8th and I thought it would take longer. I’m waiting on six more results before I decide where I’ll attend but things are starting in the right direction!

My 2.8 GPA and unusual educational background (hybrid online/b&m while serving active duty military) had me concerned that I would be in for a disappointing cycle. I needed a great LSAT and thanks to 7Sage I did well enough to be above the 75th percentile for almost every school in the country. Granted, my softs are solid (I’m a senior NCO with 14 years in the Army) but nothing helps an application like a strong LSAT. Thanks and good luck to everyone who’s still toiling with the test: there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

When you're mentioning two professors who co-taught a class, would you say professors or Professors followed by their names? Just wondering. Thanks.

Hi guys,

For those of you with 170+, I wanted to ask a question based on strategy.

Let's say that I take PT70 under fully timed conditions, with an experimental section pulled from an old exam. I blind review (BR) the LR section. I fool proof (FP) the LG section. I do the memory method (MM) for the RC section. This happens immediately after taking the exam timed.

According to some of the webinars that I watched, high LSAT scorers have a tendency to redo the questions they got wrong, well after their initial review (BR, FP, and MM) process. Some look at them after a week. For some, a month. Etc...

Question 1: How frequently do you do this? Why?

Question 2: After the initial review, after some time has passed, do you redo all of the questions that you got wrong in LR, LG, and RC sections? Or do you focus solely on LR sections? Why?

Question 3: If you do look at LR section only, which questions that you got wrong, do you redo? Do you redo the questions that you did not circle to be BRed and got wrong? Do you redo the questions that you circled and BRed correctly? Do you redo the questions that you circled and BRed incorrectly? Why?

For contextual purposes, I would say that LG is my strongest section, followed by the LR, and then the RC being the worst section.

Thank you!

Hey everyone, My name is Sergio and I am a second semester Junior about to start studying for the LSAT. I am going to buy the Ultimate+ package next week to start studying for one of the summer exams and was wondering if anyone had some tips on how they handled, organized, and used the plethora of material provided. Just looking at what the package comes with is daunting so any help is greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have a group of good warm up questions to take in the morning of the exam? I generally do a handful of LRs and one or two games. Was wondering if anyone has a good suggestion on the problem sets. Thank you and good luck to everyone taking the Monday exam.

Does anyone know when the June 2020 test date will be released?

Does anyone know when other future LSAT dates will be released and available for the rest of the year past the April 25th LSAT?

I am trying to figure out exactly how long the exam will be. If your reporting time is 12.30 and test is 3h 30 mins per website shown below, then does it finish exactly at 4pm or after ? I am have to make another appointment after so I asked.

Hey guys, just wondering if there are any international students here on 7sage who are currently in law school and working towards practicing law in the US after graduation. I'm Asian, first generation college student and have a low socioeconomic background. I recently got accepted into UCLA, Notre Dame, BC, Duke and UC Berkeley. I'm still waiting for scholarship offers but right now, I'm seriously second-guessing my decision to go to law school in the US given the bleak uncertain future surrounding immigration post graduation. I don't want to work my butt off for 3 years, invest a whole lot of money and time into law school only to be kicked out of the country in the end.

I'd really appreciate any insights/advice you guys have on the matter!! Thank you in advance.

What has been the most effective(books, time management..) at helping you study for the LSAT?

Hi all, does anyone else also find it incredibly difficult to study at home? I don't know what it is, but I always feel a lot more productive when I vary my study venues between coffee shops and libraries. Maybe it's because my brain just doesn't perceive my home as a study location, but instead views it as a relaxing place where I can just hang out in my P.J.s. I'm always paranoid that studying in libraries/coffee shops will be super distracting without me even realizing it, but honestly, I just put my airpods in and listen to lyric-less music and it works really well for me (except when I'm PT-ing, I usually go to a super dead and quiet library and no music). What are your experiences with study venues?

There was a great discussion that happened a few years back between "old" LSAT takers (yes, I know it's painful to referred to as old). I'm going to be 39 in a few weeks and am looking at law as my second career path. I spent most of my adult years as a professional dancer and teacher, and with a nearly 17 year gap between my undergrad and now I've found this whole process to be quite intense, and in all honesty quite lonely at times. If you're out there and you're in the same place in your life, I'd love to hear from you!

Hello! I am interested to hear what folks' think about the above law schools and how they match up against each other. If one is interested in going into Big Law after law school in NYC or securing a federal clerkship (let's say that person does not need financial aid and for our purposes, he/she has the same grades at each of the schools), what school makes the most sense for these specific goals? And relatedly, which one of the schools above has the best reputation/standing in the eyes of Big Law firms in NYC?

A couple of thoughts:

Seton Hall is higher-ranked than both St. John's and Brooklyn, but my sense is that St. John's and Brooklyn have stronger alumni networks in NYC than Seton Hall. Is the higher ranking negligible, then? Should one take stock in Seton Hall's higher ranking nationally?

Cardozo - Yeshiva is higher ranked than all of the three other schools, but it has a shorter history than St. John's and Brooklyn. Based on my research, Cardozo - Yeshiva is deemed an "up-and-coming" law school and is highly ranked in part due to its superlative IP program. In the eyes of a big NYC law firm, does Cardozo - Yeshiva carry more weight than St. John's and Brooklyn -- all things being equal, that is? What would lead one to choose Cardozo over Brooklyn and St. John's, or St. John's over Cardozo?

A more general question: in the case of the four law schools that I identified above, how significant is the gap between Cardozo - Yeshiva (the highest rank school at 52) versus St. John's (the lowest rank school at 77) (i.e., how should one view the 25 rank difference)? Is there a material difference?

Any and all opinions/takes would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
