Hi again everyone.

So, I've been studying for this test for about a year now, and although I've improved my score 20 points, I still am not scoring where I want to be (mid/high 160s). I linger from mid to high 150s, while consistently BRing in the low 170s.

I've watched webinars, read outside material (LSAT trainer) etc., but I still feel so discouraged and sort of aimless at this point. BRing in the 170s is what keeps my confidence up and makes me feel like I'll be able to score a 165+ when I take the real test this summer, but I honestly just don't know how to move from the 150s to the 160s consistently. My scores are sort of all over the place (the only consistency is the 170+ BR).

I guess what is making me feel discouraged is the fact that I understand the test (given the high BR average) and that that understanding has grown (I used to BR in the mid to high 160's), but that my actual score hasn't seemed to make substantial progress.

Is it as simple as getting more strict with the PT + BR routine? Do I need to find patience? I am in school, so it's been a little difficult balancing my schoolwork with the LSAT. But at this point, and given the fact that I am aiming to take the test in July, I'm ready to do whatever I can to get my score up to 165+. I've worked too hard to not get there.

Any honest advice from someone who has been in this similar position would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi, do I get to extend my access for an unlimited number of times? Or is there a limit to how many times I extend my access?

Thank you!

Not really an LSAT topic, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has recently had an international transcript processed by LSAC, and could indicate how long it took for processing. This Saturday will be the 1 month point from when LSAC first received my transcripts, and I'm beginning to get antsy.

On any of the explanation videos for practice problems (including lessons), when you click the "Answers" box and hover over the answer choices, on the bottom of each answer choice is a percentage indicating what percentage of people choice that particular answer. Then there are what appears to be LSAT scores above each answer choice. Does anyone know what this means?

Before enrolling to 7Sage, I got PTs 1-58 and PTs 66-89 (I do have a few gaps -missing about 6 tests within this range). Now that I have premium, I have access to test explanations 36-58 (plus 88 and 89). I'm five months into 7Sage and have realized that I would benefit from drilling LR by question type. The issue is that I am on a tight budget and upgrading to ultimate plus just wouldn't be the best financial move for me right now. I have been told about the free resource, LSAT Hacks, that provides free LSAT test explanations. The only thing I am missing is a free/budget friendly resource that would allow me to sort LR by question type. I would really appreciate some suggestions on resources that you guys may know of for drilling LR by type. Thanks in advance!

I know many people here are concerned about getting into the top 14 law schools but that’s just not in my cards and I’m very happy with my choices so far.

With that being said, I got accepted to both university of California Irvine and the university of Minnesota. Irvine has a ranking of 23 while Minnesota has a ranking of 20. Does ranking really matter when they’re that close?? Which would you choose?

I’m from Minnesota and would love to get away for the winters but also know how expensive California is. Just looking for some others opinions to persuade or dissuade me!

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've already sat for the LSAT twice and both times done a writing sample. I'll be sitting for it again this January.

Do I have to do the writing again?

I paid for the LSAC package that includes the sample but do I really have to since I already have two on my record?

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 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.

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!

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.

Not really an LSAT topic, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has recently had an international transcript processed by LSAC, and could indicate how long it took for processing. This Saturday will be the 1 month point from when LSAC first received my transcripts, and I'm beginning to get antsy.

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.

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!

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

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!

Hi all,

Sorry to be dramatic but i'm having a crisis here

PT average 159-160 After 10 PTs.

I am hoping to to go to the University Of Illinois law school for Fall 2020. I'm 25 and from the UK. Their deadline is March 15th.

I'm taking the January LSAT in 5 days time and panicing as I'm STILL struggling with Logic games. I've done over 100 unique sets, some multiple times and I still average about -10. but i've improved from the -20 i began with. I hoped i'd of been able to master them by now and i'm freaking out about it. Because i'm in the UK I cannot do the February exam. I feel so desperate i'm tempted to register for February in the US and fly there just to take it.

My LR and RC is consistently around -5 and i find them infinetly easier than LG.

If i manage to perfect Logic Games (or even raise LR or RC to - 2) in the 10 weeks before the March Exam and score a 167 plus over their medium of 162, do you think that would compensate for the late application? As they're not a T14 school, loads of decisions and scholarships are awareded well into June time. I would apply with my January score, include a Why X essay and ask they review the application upon receipt of the March score. If I'm an otherwise outstanding candidate, would they really care if i'm just a few weeks later than their deadline? judging from mylsn there is little difference in outcomes for those who applied ON the deadline of March 15 and even though who applied before Christmas.

I have 3 years of very solid work experience in public service. I've deferred going to law school for 3 cycles already and am desperate to move on with my life. I just can't wait another year.

Thank you,

I'm registered for the November 2019 LSAT, but every test center is currently full. My account says that I have a seat reserved but I'm technically not guaranteed a spot yet. Does anyone know if LSAC usually finds locations for reserves? I'm nervous that they may make me take the January LSAT instead. I'm trying to get scholarships at decent schools (not necessarily aiming for t-14, but will apply to a few) but I'm not sure if this is possible applying this late in the cycle. I didn't score that well for September and I basically only have a month to study for November, so I wouldn't mind taking January to have more studying time. I really want to start in 2020 but I don't know if that's realistic if I have to do the January LSAT. Would appreciate any advice or feedback

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