I'm a little bit unsure if I should risk it at this point (probably not).

The unit next to me is super loud, from crazy loud music that I can hear all over my unit, and someone yelling or fighting anytime of the day. Been using noise cancelling headphones while studying or working. Some of the people at our floor decided to report them but the issue got more worse after all the complaints. In addition, my state just started slowly reopening and the construction next to our building just resume this week.I kept on pushing back my exam because of this issue. Originally signed for April, then switched it to June, now I'm signed up for July.

Sighed I just need a space to vent, hoping for better days ahead. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during this times :) Happy Studying!

140 to 160s possible?

Hey guys. I plan on taking the November 15th LSAT this year. My diagnostic was pretty bad (140). I was pretty devastated considering that I have a 3.9+ GPA in undergrad currently. I want to get into the 160s and go to a T-25 law school. Is jumping from140 to the160s possible given the amount of time I have? I have a little over 6 months.

And what's a good way to prepare? I plan on using full proof from JY for LG and going through the LG Bible. But what about LR and RC?

I was able to extend my old plan Ultimate plus monthly in the past but can't seem to extend it monthly anymore without upgrading to the new ultimate plan requiring an additional $100 on top of the $69 per month payment. I understand changes have been made to the course and old ultimate courses are grandfathered into the new ultimate courses, which is what happened for me. I am unsure whether this is a technical issue or if this option is not available anymore and I have to upgrade to the new ultimate plan. If so, do I need to pay the extra $100 or is this for new students? I have used the ultimate plus for a couple years already. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated as my course is expiring in two weeks and would need to decide asap.

Identifying Assumptions

Does anyone have any general advice for quickly and accurately identifying assumptions in arguments within the LR section? I feel like that's a weak spot for me so any advice on how to work on this would be immensely appreciated :}

Hi all! For those of you who've taken the May Flex, or have even taken the digital test in-person, I was just wondering if there were highlighting tools in the software like there are in 7Sage. I'm mainly asking for RC, as I tend to highlight things in the passage. If these tools aren't available when I'm actually taking the test, I want to start training myself to go without highlighting.

Thanks in advance, and happy studying!

Average Score on 7sage

I am curious as to what the average LSAT score on 7sage is. I am asking because even on the lowest difficulty questions where 96%+ people get them correct, the average score for the answer choice is typically around 167. Does this mean that the 7sage average score is only slightly lower at around 165? That would be quite an impressive average score for the site. Using this average score as advertising could likely help to get more people to sign up.

LSAT Journal Formats

Hello!

I have just finished the core curriculum and I am starting to drill questions. I have heard about people keeping journals for their wrong answers and I plan to do the same. However I wanted to reach out to the community and see how you guys kept your journals! Was it written by hand, on the computer, and what did you write down for each question you got wrong? Anything is appreciated!

Also I have heard people keeping journals for questions that they felt they had a breakthrough with or just for other reasons in general. If you are one of these people, please share your strategy and how it helped for you!

I have searched and searched to try and find which tests are included in the Official LSAT Prep Plus, but all I can find is a rough number of how many tests are included. (I have bought a bunch of tests already, so it would be very helpful to know which ones are included before deciding to purchase this.) Can anyone who has purchased the Official LSAT Prep Plus clarify which specific tests are included?

Thanks!

Hi everyone. For the past ten to fifteen PTs, I've been scoring around low-mid 170s and blind reviewing anywhere from 176-180. I recently started getting into the 80+ PT range and have taken three 80+ PTs so far. For the first two PTs (80 and 85), my score dropped to 168 and 169 respectively.

I feel like the RC has become longer and harder even with structural understanding of the passage. As for the LR, I found out that it was wordier with newer hidden tricks in the density of the stimulus.

Is there something that I can drill to address these new changes that I have perceived to be causing issues for me? Thank you.

I don't know if this is a problem with LSAC and not 7sage, but I could use some help from anyone who has had a similar experience. Regardless of whether I try to access and connect my 7sage and prep plus through the notification on 7sage or through the email sent to me via LSAC, I cannot seem to get past logging in. After I log into my account, the blank page just keeps infinitely refreshing. Has anyone else had similar issues? I've tried contacting LSAC via email but it's been at least a week and they haven't gotten back to me.

LSAT Flex and Pens

Hi, all!

After some fits and starts and a few delays, I'm finally signed up, ready, and excited to take the June LSAT Flex test. And as I begin practice testing in earnest, I'm left with one question: Are Flex test takers able to use an ink pen during the test?

I ask because when I'm able to draw up my Logic Games game boards using a pen instead of a pencil, I find my game boards are tidier and that makes getting through the games simpler. I consistently score three or four points better on Logic Games when I'm able to use a pen.

I understand LSAC provided an ink pen to those who took the digital LSAT and I'm hopeful those of us taking the Flex test will also be able to use one. But before I start practicing with a pen, I thought I should ask the group to see if May Flex test takers were able to use a pen or if anyone has information I don't.

Thanks in advance!

I just took the May LSAT Flex and came out of my test feeling VERY bad about it.

I'm considering cancelling my score but I wasn't sure how much law schools would care about a low first score.

I've heard that schools really only look at your highest score but is this true? Or could a low score possibly impact my application?

Add old practice tests

I took about a dozen practice LSATs in my last prep course and want to upload those test results to the analytics tool here so I can better pinpoint where I'm going wrong. How can I input those results without having to take the entire test over again on 7sage's site?

I totally forgot about the scratch paper. The thing is right after I finished it was completely silent for a minute or so, so I just closed the connection with proctor u.

Was I supposed to rip up scratch paper in front of camera? Obviously after I realized this I did throw it away and ripped it up, but hours after. Will people be penalized if not ripping it up in front of camera afterwards?

Study Scedule

Hi Everyone,

I'm supposed to start law school in New York City in the Fall, but I'm genuinely confused about what I should do now. The idea of paying a ton of money to potentially be taking online Zoom classes seems like such a waste.

I'm curious what other people's thoughts are who are in similar situations?

Just for transparency, I have been in the work force and out of undergrad for 4 years, so I do have the safe option of just staying at my job. I know it is a different situation for those of you coming straight out of undergrad.

Thanks!

Aiming for 162, is it possible to increase my score by 7 points by the June test? I have gone through the core curriculum 3 times and have been stuck around 155 for weeks on the PTs. How can I improve? Should I invest in an lsat book or another online program? Average -4 LG, -7/-8 LR, -11 RC.
