Hey there friends, I was just wondering if anybody knew anything about the new electronic LSAT, in specific, what type of TABLET or device we'd have to use. if you have any info lets get to discussion! thank you for even reading this haha

I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not but do I still need to worry about bringing an analog watch to the September LSAT? The digital test format has a timer similar to the beta digital tester on 7sage, correct?

Hey there,

As a re applicant, I was wondering if it is ethical to email the admission office of my desired law school and inquire about how to improve/ build on my application from the year prior? Would that be frowned upon, or put me at a disadvantage for this year? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have about 9 weeks till the LSAT. I have the Powerscore bible trilogy. Right now that will be the only resource I can afford till 2 weeks. Do you think Powerscore, buying LSAT official tests on Amazon and video explanations on 7sage and youtube are enough resources to make around a 170? Even in the Powerscore bible 2 month study guide, its suggesting I get the workbooks (around $60 each) and a couple of other books. I already spent $110 on the PS and $200 for the LSAT. With all of the suggested resources from PS, that would total up to more than $300.

Also I know a lot of people suggest taking a cold timed diagnostic test, but I have heard some of companies saying that its best to study a bit before taking an initial test and don't time it till you get closer to the test dates. What do you guys think? http://s3.amazonaws.com/studentcenter/self-study/2-Month-LSAT-Study-Plan.pdf this is the PS 2 month study guide

I was talking to a friend of mine who took the last LSAT; apparently LSAC has done away with the experimental section and instead incorporated experimental questions into the five sections of the test. That way students have no ability to cross reference with other students to find out which exact section is experimental. Does anyone know about this?

Thanks

My test center has these large overhead lights throughout the large room (seats 70 ppl). There are like many rows of these big bright lights. It was helpful with the paper test as the area was very lighted.

But with the digital, No matter what angle I tilt the tablet, it just reflects a different set of lights. So when I look at the screen, I see 2-3 big bright lights reflecting in the screen. The glare is Kinda annoying/distracting and doesn’t feel great on my eyes. Any advice on how to fix or reduce this glare? Thanks.

Title says it all

Hi all,

Looking for a little reassurance because I'm kinda stressed after taking my LSAT Writing. I feel I made a really strong argument but it took me to the last second to finish. When I looked it over I realized with horror that I had made a couple of grammatical errors and big one repetition error ("This person should choose this should choose option this because blah blah blah..") in the very first sentence T_T

How much will that hurt me? Do they care about computer/editing errors more then content or am I okay since I made a solid argument?

The model of other websites (manhattanprep, lsathacks, powerscore) all organize PTs and discussion the same way. You have a list of all the PTs, then inside the PT a choice of LR/LG/RC, then a list of the questions. This organization is very conducive to both finding the discussion (a necessary condition to learn from/engage in discussion) on a question and providing helpful insights or questions of our own.

Even if access to PT questions, the videos and their explanations are for paying members only the organization can really use an overhaul. I see a lot of people posting individually, using no uniform nomenclature for easy searching, and a lot of those questions get 0 responses.

Thanks! Love 7Sage, argued with a buddy that he should stop his course and switch to 7S just yesterday.

I'm taking the LSAT a week from today in Chicago (Loyola). My ticket's now available, and it just lists the address of the building - no room number or anything. Those who have taken it before, are there usually just signs / instructions at the security desk? Or do other locations list the room number?

I'm planning to call LSAC when their offices reopen on Monday, but I'm feeling nervous and wondered if anyone here had any experience they could share.

Since my first year of law school started last week, I've been thinking about starting a journal to help me process things and reflect. I think that maybe by working through how to articulate things, I feel like I exert some control and agency. In any case, this is one of those times where it seems like it could be of value. I also thought that a candid and contemporaneous account from someone going through it could potentially provide some value to future students. So instead of opening up a word document, I figured I'd make a thread.

Throughout the life of this thread, I'll make updates through the comments rather than amending the main body. That way, any comments will track with the content.

So the digital test clock counts backwards from 35 minutes to 0. This threw me off when I took my first digital test because Im so used to using an analog watch. For those who have taken the digital test do you know if we are allowed to use an analog watch during the test?

Decided that I should get a tablet to start practicing and PTing since paper exams are long gone.

My SO and I agreed to go half/half on a tablet since she will start doing more digital art stuff. I've read the Fire Tablet is as close as it gets without spending Microsoft Surface money. She has been using Wacom here and there and wants to get one, I don't care as long as I can practice, she can do her thing once I'm done and we don't spend hundreds of dollars. Y'all have experience with tablets that can do all those things?

Hey! Does anyone know where I can find a copy of The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning? I ordered a copy on amazon, but it won't ship until the end of September/ beginning of October. Please let me know, If you guys know of any book stores in NYC or online that sells it. Thanks in advance!

I have been pting around a 155/156 for the last few weeks. My goal is a 157+ and I am taking it in October and November.

My breakdown from yesterday:

LR: 14/25

LR: 19/26

LG: 21/23

RC: 14/26

So at this point I am trying to close the gap on my LR sections and bring up RC. I typically struggle with SA questions and flaw. If I could get that RC score up and close the gap in LR I would be golden. Any tips on how to get those scores up and stay consistent? I have gone through the CC and I typically drill weak spots, do timed sections, and about one 5 section PT a week. I would love to be PTing at a 160 so I can have some wiggle room come test day.

Thanks so much!

It took over 2 years, but after all the blood, sweat, and tears, it's really encouraging. Huge thanks to this great community. Hope the momentum will continue into test day next week!

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure why but I seem to come across a mental roadblock when it comes to taking full-length practice tests. I schedule them for Saturday afternoons, but then I find myself pushing them off week after week. I just always feel really under-prepared for them, regardless of how much I actually studied. I also don't really know where I stand right now in terms of my score, although I would guess in the low 160s, based on timed,35-min sections.

I think I might be scared to face my timed score at this point in my studies. I've been studying for over a year and I have a pretty strong grasp of the fundamentals. However, I find myself wanting to give up before even sitting down to take a full practice exam.

How do I get over this fear? Do you guys have tips/tricks for this kind of thing?

Any help would be most appreciated, thank you.

Hi folks, on my past two PTs I met, then exceeded, my target score. For context, I got a 173 on the first and a 175 on the second, both taken under realistic conditions. This increase comes after a plateau at around 169. Clearly, these two data points are not, by themselves, evidence for any change of timing. I have been planning to take around January. However, I can take quite a few PTs between now and November. Should I consider trying to sign up for the November administration, taking 2 PTs a week up until then? Also for context, once I am done with the LSAT, I have to start preparing for the GRE. I would appreciate any input!

PT 86 Game with mining. greyson, headquaters and krona.

rule one contradicts with the correct answer for the first question of the game. I looked at the explanation but it really don't solve my confusion.

"rule says that headquarters must be visited in between two different mine locations"

the answer choice B is contradicting the same rule. please explain may be i am reading it wrong. thanks!

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [first set of words]"

Hey friends, I'm writing in November and am almost through the CC. I've been seeing lots of improvement on the LG (generally 1 or 2m over the target time and -1 for each set), but I haven't foolproofed them yet.

How would you recommend that I best go about foolproofing to maximize the time I have left before the exam? Should I foolproof the games in the CC problem sets and/or all games from PT20-35 before starting to do timed PTs?

Any advice/experience is welcome. Thanks!

They reassigned my test center from UCSB to the Hyatt centric downtown & I was wondering if anyone knows whether in similar occasions they offer free parking to test takers and what the difference is taking it at a hotel vs school

Hi everyone! I am currently in Colombia working and studying for the LSAT. I just graduated from college and I'm here with a Fulbright grant which is keeping me quite busy. I was hoping to study hard enough with 7sage to get the score I want by November so I can apply this cycle, but I have decided to wait and study and then apply early next year since i don't think I can get the score I want by then.

I already reached out to my professors to write my letters of rec and they have agreed. I was wondering- can i still create an LSAC account now and have them upload their recs? Will they be saved during this year if I officially apply next year? Or do I have to ask them to send it next year when I am applying officially?

Thank you guys :)

Hey there!

My question is in regards to early decision. After looking at the law school predictor, I was hoping to gain some insight into when it would be a good idea to apply for ED. Some of the schools in am interested in, based on my LSAT(163) and GPA (3.44), have me at a 85 percent chance of getting into the school. Is that too high of a percentage to apply for ED? I don't want to forgo any scholarship money by applying ED, but I also want to get into that particular school. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

Here is an actual question I have, which could also be an LR question....

"Beginning with the September 2019 LSAT administration, the following limits will be instated:

You will only be able to take the LSAT three times in a single testing year.

Note: the LSAC considers the testing year to be June 1 to May 31"

I took the July 2019 LSAT. Does that count as one of three tests that I am allowed to take in this testing year, given that it was before September 2019?

Hi everyone,

Just not sure if you have any tips, advice, personal experiences that you could share with respect to how you met your blind review scores for LR...

Right now my section scores really fluctuate - I can get anywhere between 15 - 20 right, and I am getting between -2 and under in BR. Has anyone else experienced this? Its quite annoying and frustrating and I dont want to lose hope on my progress lol.

thanks in advance
