I received an email this morning that I've been relocated to a different testing center that is way too far out for me. I was so pissed because the test is 4 days away so I called LSAC and they told me that I can be a "standby candidate". This means that I can show up to any testing facility and they will accept me as long as I have my ticket with me. They gave a few options where the testing centers are closer and there are open spots, but I'm worried that they won't let me in. They told me to just show up earlier and tell the proctors about my situation. I'm worried that since I'm on "standby" that I'll have last priority into being let in the testing room. I'm so conflicted as to what to do because I want to go to one of the centers that are closer to me, but I'm worried that I won't be let in because the ticket shows a different location.

Has this happened to anyone here? Should I stick with the location that they stuck me with or should I take the chance and go to a center of my choice? I'm so stressed and frustrated so any advice/words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi 7Sagers, I moved here few years ago and English is my second language, no educational background here. I have studied engineering and would like to pursue my goal in Patent Law. I have been studying for LSAT since late 2017, and am struggling with time. I do pretty good in LG but in LR and RC I have problems with time. I wonder if anyone had a recommendation that helps test takers like me, reading faster and comprehending simultaneously.

Hello,

I'm taking the June test and I have a specific question regarding the actual proctoring of the exam. I've noticed that I tend to get flustered in between the time they say "put your pencils down" and when they start the next section. It seems like literally three seconds go by in the time that all happens.

For people who have actually taken a proctored LSAT, do they really go between sections that quickly or is there more than 10 seconds to take a deep breath beforehand?

Thanks!

Hey!! I'm been doing the core curriculum for the past 2 weeks and i'll be wrapping it up in the next 2.5 weeks after which I will start doing the PTs as per my Ultimate+ study schedule.

I'm just wondering if I should be practicing more of the questions I'm having trouble with now or once I'm done with the CC and will be working on the PTs?

Thanks in advance!!

I find this strengthening question particularly tricky. Can anyone help explain why E) is the correct answer? Also explaining why C) isn't would be helpful!

So, I have been consistently testing at a pretty good score that I am happy with, however, when I start using the proctor feature or sit down to take a timed exam I freak out. My score definitely varies and I am worried on test day I will lose it. What is the best way to quickly bump up my score so I give myself some extra score padding for if/when I freak out.

Thanks.

I have been using the schedule maker and have been really liking it. Today, I bought more LSAT practice tests to have those more recent ones replace the older ones offered in the starter pack.

But, what happened in the schedule maker is that it added them all as if I was going to do all the practice tests (not replace the older ones), and now my weekly tasks are off.

I put May 17 as the start date and July 15 as the end date. Could someone with 7 sage starter pack, please include here a screenshot of their template study schedule off of those dates? I cannot get back to the screen where I can see my study schedule before I bought the extra practice tests so that I actually know what I am suppose to get done each week.

Please remember to take it easy this week. If, like me, you woke up this morning after crazy test dreams, with a headache ~ take today off. Only light studying from now on...we're prepared, we're awesome...and we're NOT going to blow it with burnout. Cheers.

For those of you who have successfully appealed LSAC's fee waiver decision, do you have any tips for my appeal?

Maybe this is a bit of a silly question but I was wondering if the more recent LSATs (post-Nov 2018) are available on 7sage? Or are they even available at all? Thanks!

I took 7Sage lessons before attending the law school, and I am now in the process of applying to be admitted to the bar.

While filling out the application package, I just couldn't understand the logic behind the requirement to list every law-related employment.

If an applicant omits a law-related employment and decides not to write it in his resume, then how will the ABA investigate this? What kind of resume does the ABA have on file to cross-check what they wrote in the application package? As far as I think, the only resume the ABA could possibly have is the resume an applicant originally used in his application to the law school (and this should be of course done to punish those with padded resume). But my guess is this will not help much in cross-checking the later law-related employments when many law firms do not even list an applicant's internship experiences.

That an applicant has to write about overseas internships is harder to understand. For instance, how will the ABA check this? Will they, say, call a law firm in Spain or China to cross-check? This seems very unlikely.

I am just lost as to why these requirements are here.

I have 2 questions guys.

a) So i will take the July test just because of the accommodation they are providing. In 2 days or so I will finish the LG CC and I was wondering until my test date, should I do the original bundle as much as I can (1-36)? or should I mix up my foolproofing and do games from later PTs like (50-60s).

b) Also since I have little time, do you guys think I should jump to timed PTs after I finish CC or do timed sections... I know i am not ready yet but the July test is once in a lifetime shot i think. I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me more advice than the questions that I asked because I feel lost and dont know what to do.

P.S I will take the September test most likely so my main prepping goal is for that test.

Can someone please explain the difference between the “question difficulty” scale and the “psg/game/s difficulty” scale in the CC problem set answers/explanations section for LR Q’s?

Just got an email from LSAC announcing July score release date:

"Because the July test is being offered in two different formats, it will take longer than normal for test takers to receive their scores. When introducing a new mode of test delivery, testing companies are required to do in-depth research on the two modes, in this case tablets and paper booklets. This is to ensure the validity and reliability of the test scores. As a result of this process, July test takers will receive their scores on Wednesday, August 28, 2019. We anticipate the ability to report scores faster with future tests."

Hi all,

I juuuust finished the full CC (finally) and am gonna begin doing PTs ahead of the July LSAT I am registered for. My plan was to take it in July, but if I didn't get the score I wanted, retake it again in September. Given that I won't know my score until the September Registration deadline has passed it appears the next test I could register for with such knowledge is the October 28th one.

I am hoping to apply to law schools to start in 2020, with a couple of those programs requiring me to apply by 12/31/19. My question is, if I take it again in October will that give me enough time to still be competitive in my applications? What's the latest someone could take the test and still be able to apply without it being consider suboptimal?

Hello all:

I just want to thank all of you in advance for your support. I have read a lot of the postings and am very impressed with how supportive everyone is/has been to one another.

Here is my predicament, I am 46 years old and don't really feel as though I have time on my side. I did not research enough about how hard the LSAT is and went in blindly (with the influece of a highly marketed test prep coming K---an) and began my studies at the three month mark. I am scheduled for the July test and would postpone but with the option of retaking for free, I feel as though it would be a waste of money to pay a rescheduling fee. I am a single mom and on a limited income, not working and focusing on my undergrad. I am blessed to have an ex-husband who supports me via alimony and child support and also supports my efforts towards realizing my dream of going to law school.

My diagnositc was a 141 and since then I have gotten to -5 on the RC (thankfully it hasn't been something I struggle with), but haven't focused enough to see gains in other areas. To be honest, I probably overthink the answers, which causes me to get them wrong. To add to matters, I have the LSAT Trainer, The Loophole by Ellen Casidy and the Powerscore Bible on Logic Games. I've started a little of the core curriculum and have completed about 15 hours. On any given day I randomly pick up one of the books and try to understand rather than focusing on one source. If all of that seems disjointed, it is because I am ADHD and am all over the place with what I read and do because I cannot focus. I plan to apply for accommodations and am waiting on the psychologist report to add to the other supporting documents from my university.

My undergrad GPA currently is a 3.85; however, that is not what has been calculated by LSAC. I am fortunate that my school gives A+ as a grade so that may help me keep a strong GPA. I guess my point and reason for reaching out is what advice would you give to someone like me with the test quickly approaching? The process is stressing me so that I constanty feel on the verge of tears but will not give up.

Thanks for any and all viewpoints you can share to make my path a little easier.

Hi folks we are getting closer to the June LSAT date.

To help you prepare I am Inviting you to BR all of PT 81 with me on Sunday morning.

*Realize there was some technical issues last week, this week I will circle back to the form in case anyone cannot get access to the meeting, also try reaching me on whatsapp group chat https://chat.whatsapp.com/HEr9S37YrIFBZNN6w4pFpZ ) *

I will go over the entire PT and host a BR/Review session for all sections.

Along with discussing why the answers are right and how to tackle the questions I will have an added focus on how to do the questions quickly, under time.

We start at 10:00 AM in the morning.

Meeting online on Zoom:

https://zoom.us/j/513392294

Who am I:

I am a fellow Sager who recently scored a 170 on the March LSAT thanks to 7sage. To pay it forward I am hosting weekly BR's every Sunday until the June exam to help my fellow sagers achieve a similar score or higher.

Hey everyone-

I'm on the LSAC's website looking for the building I'm supposed to go to at my adminstration site, and my admission ticket only lists the generic website for the university. I have to drive 90min - 2h to get there, so I'm going the night before, but that doesn't help much if I don't know which building I'm going to be taking the test in.

Anybody have any advice?

Hi,

What do you do to avoid bubbling error? In recent PTs I have done, I made 1 bubbling error per PT!!!

This problem is with RC and LR.

For LG, I circle each answer and bubble after each game. I often have time to go over my bubbling at the end of the section.

With RC and LR, I bubble after each question but I do not circle answers.

Thanks.

I just took another timed test since going through the fundamentals and got a 147. Although it’s not great, I’ve improved from a 136. Where to go from here? I’ve used 7Sage for the games section. Games and LR were both my weakest sections. I am registered for the July test. I’m looking to score in the high 150’s-low 160’s. I would love a 160. I will also be taking the fall scheduled tests as well. Any tips would be greatly appreciated to reach this goal!

I just finished the diagnostic PT in the syllabus and scored a 159. Because the measure of success on the LSAT is essentially how well did you do relative to all other test takers, I was wondering what the average score of this diagnostic test it? Does this information exist?

Hi guys! I'm not able to find the Microsoft service go tablet online or in stores...JY said it's the Microsoft Surface Go tablet 8.3” x 5.5” screen but I'm not able to find the one with those dimensions; all of them are 10 inches. Can anyone share a link please?

After reading all of the related discussion posts, I have yet to find a satisfactory answer to the question of what the proper sequence should be for completing the entire CC, problem sets, and attempting PTs. I didn't take a diagnostic test, as I figured that without knowing proper tactics on how to approach different question types, I would be wasting a PT by doing it blind. Am I supposed to:

People have been using the term "drill packs", I was wondering what this actually means? Are these just the problem sets? Or are they questions from the question bank, or what is it?

Sorry if this seems really fundamental and dumb, I'm just really lost. Thanks!

I notice when I'm reviewing there is a difficulty rating both for individual questions as well as overall sections. Is this done by JY or by users? Did I miss somewhere in the CC where this is explained (admittedly, I came to 7Sage after already scoring low 170s so I did not look at most of the CC...)

I took almost a year off of LSAT study to focus on school. I don't regret it, as I graduated with a 4.2X. It will likely put my LSAC above 4 somewhere once the final transcripts are sent. Totally worth it.

However... I just took an older PT (40) and I'm just so frustrated. Score wise, it was pretty average to where I left off. Some of my coursework helped me bring my LR up (-4, -7 which is not bad; the BR was -8 total), but my LG and RC are still abysmal.

I expected some slip with LG, and I have brought my LG up before, but it is the RC part that bothers me (apparently, reading some rather intense philosophy papers wasn't enough to help there). It's historically almost always awful (-10ish). I have the LSAT Bible now, but any tips anyone has for getting my RC up from the floor would be great. I have tried outlining, not outlining, reading faster, reading slower, etc. I know I will miss some due to time, but I am missing way too many.

I'm taking July's testing because of the experience I may get with the new digital system, and because there's a freebie if I bomb it. With the closeness to test date, I expect it to just be a trial run with the new tech (hopefully). A better goal for me would be October or November, maybe Jan on the outside. So, not an utter emergency, and I don't expect any miracles here in the meantime. But if anyone has brought their RC score up successfully, I would love to know how you did it and what you recommend. I only need a handful of more points, and if I can bring up RC (along with bringing LG back up), I'd have it.

-A.R.
