Hi everyone,

For those of you who are taking afternoon tests instead of morning tests, what is your test day routine like? Since the test "starts" at 12:30 pm (mine actually started closer to 2:30pm), how do you use the time between waking up and the test?

I found on my first PT that a significant amount of answers I had gotten right during the initial timed test, I later went back and changed to the wrong answer during Blind Review. This wasn't just one or two questions, but many. Does anyone have any experience with this? Not sure how to feel about it, it's definitely not great. I'm not sure if I'm just second guessing myself too much, or if it's a deeper issue. Any advice?

Usually, I study 3-5 hours a day. But for the next week, due to some circumstances, I probably will only be able to get an hour in max, sometimes even split up throughout the day. What is the best way to make use of this time? 1 section a day and review?

I was thinking maybe foolproof 2 games, do 1 or 2 RC passages from the older LSAT PTs + review, and then maybe review some LR questions?

I have a long list of LR questions I have missed from my time studying that I couldnt get right during BR either. All in all, that seems like it might be close to an hour. 2 games, 1-2 RC passages, plus a few hard LR questions

Consistently in practice tests, my first section is my best with each subsequent section scoring worse than the previous. On the PT I just took, section 1 was LR and I got -3. Section 4 was the second LR and I got -11. I find that my stamina greatly diminishes after each section, especially with the digital test. It’s harder to concentrate, both on what the words mean and the screen itself.

Does anyone have any stamina tips for the digital test? Is it just practice? Also, is it possible that the two LR sections vary that drastically in difficulty?

Thanks!

For many of the longer user comments on JY’s video, they seem to be cut off. Usually, you can click something that ll expand that person’s comment, but for some reason that button isn’t there (I don’t see it), so I can’t read longer comments of people posting their own explanations. Anyone else have similar issue?

Hi everyone,

If I changed my test date to a later test date, would law schools see that I've changed the date? Does it come up as a cancellation? Or does it not appear at all? And if it does come up as a cancellation or a date change, does it have any potential to negatively affect your application? I know that a cancellation does not look better than never having a cancellation, so I was wondering if this date change had the same effect.

Hi guys,

I've seen a number of law school applications ask applicants to submit the date/score of every LSAT they took or plan on taking as a mandatory part of the application. I was wondering how to go about this for canceled scores, specifically for the July 2019 exam given that everyone was able to see their scores before canceling (I ended up canceling my score). For one school, the field for the LSAT score only allows you to enter 3 digits, so there's no way to write "Canceled."

Given that the purpose of canceling a score is to prevent law schools from seeing it, I'm unsure of how to go about this. Have any of you run into this issue as well?

I decided to make a career switch in my mid 20s, and decided on law school. My diagnostic LSAT was in the 150s, and was not improving after using a couple different books. I saw great reviews for 7Sage and decided "why not give this a shot?". I saw drastic improvements after only 2 months (keep in mind I was working full-time, going to graduate school part-time, and never felt I had enough time to study). Eventually, after about 6 months, I reached a peak of 174 on a PT. I managed a 170 on the real thing, which wasn't enough to get me into my dream school but still landed me a spot at a T-20 with a 75% scholarship. During bar prep, I supplemented my prep with 7Sage MBE. Again I was working full-time and studying became a pain, but the MBE questions provided me a great opportunity to squeeze in practice questions during breaks or as a refresher after waking up. I recently found out that I achieved a score enough for any UBE jurisdiction (and then some). Work hard, trust the process, and you can achieve your dreams!

Hi all,

I am in a dilemma in that I have taken all PTs from 40-87 before I took my last LSAT and thus have foolishly used up all newer tests (I did not do PTs before 40 thinking that they are comparatively less valuable than the newer ones). Does anyone have any suggestion regarding how I should do PTs now that I am studying for the November test? Should I PT with older tests, which I haven't done before, or should I PT with the more recent ones, which I have done once or even twice for a few of them? The good thing is even if I have done a question, I tend to not remember the answer choice. But I know JY and others have said that regardless, one's score is likely to be inflated if one has done it before... Has anyone had similar experiences before? Any suggestions or recommendations would be very much appreciated ^^!

Hey, I’m taking the test on Saturday and I’ve been doing the digital practice tests. I was looking over the tutorials that LSAC has provided for the digital test but when I go to the library on their website and try to do a practice test, it’s not the same as the tutorials. For example there are no highlighting features and for RC the questions appear at the bottom vs. on the right side of the passage.

Does anyone know which I can expect to see on Saturday?

Is there way to edit answers after you graded test on analytics? I Didnt fully finish Br and accidentally graded the test. I want to update my BR changed AC’s.

Spivey just tweeted that about half of the July test takers cancelled. This is obviously good news for those of us applying early, but I would also argue this is good news for those of you taking the test in September and October! Try to get your application materials in order and focus on being rested, hydrated, and centered on exam day. You've all put in the work and you're prepared for success!

I'm taking the September test but I don't feel 100% ready. I took summer classes to graduate early, so I didn't study as much as I would have liked for the LSAT during the summer. If I retake it would be the November test. I was wondering if November is considered late, especially if I'm aiming to get scholarships? I currently have a 3.85 GPA, and a strong letter of recommendation from one of my professors who is an attorney. I also have two other good LORs from business professors and my personal statement and diversity statement should be good as well. I'm not necessarily aiming for t-14s I will apply to a few, but I'm more so focusing on getting to a good school with a decent scholarship.

I'm having a tough time figuring out how to BR my PT that I just took please help ASAP

Hello, I was wondering how some of you film yourself?

The only filming options I have for 35 min of video storage is via my laptop webcam....

Should I just try to angle the camera to capture the paper as best as I can?

If I were to use my phone (once I get more storage)...how should I angle it without a podium?

Would appreciate any tricks!

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.
