I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue where there are discrepancies between the digital lsat that the LSAC released and the one they demonstrated on the tutorial? On my laptop the same format shows up, but on my tablet the passage only, highlighters, underline, and eraser functions are not there. Also I’ve read that in RC there’s numbers that you can use to annotate the passage, and on SR questions it will highlight it in the passage, and on LR there’s a collapse answers feature and that you can write on it to mark it up with a stylus pen. All of this is missing and there’s not really any mentions on whether this is an old format they will upgrade and post soon or if it’s my device? I already upgraded my tablet (iPad with safari) so I’m at a loss...

I've been working with 7sage for a few weeks now and i'm really enjoying the platform. I do feel like I'm not improving as quickly as I'd like to (although I havent taken a test since my diagnostic of 148 so this may just be my current feelings), and I'm not sure if thats because i'm not employing the best study methods/ my full focus or if I'm studying wrong. Those who have improved quite a bit from using this platform, how did you best utilize these resources? Sometimes I feel like I'm doing the problem sets just to go through the motions, and I want to sharpen my focus. I just want to make sure I'm using it the max right now in the beginning stages. Any advice would be great :)

I got my October LSAT reassigned to the Grand Hyatt New York. Has anyone taken it there before? How was it?

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.

Has anyone taken their at home writing sample yet? If so how does it even work? do we just take it whenever and wherever or is there a strict protocol for it?

Is there a way to take individual LR sections?

Thank you

Do those of you who took the test Saturday have some takeaways/advice on how things went, your experiences with the tablets, differences for those who prepared/PT'd using laptops/desktops, etc.? It'd be much appreciated. I'm likely sitting for it in October and am planning on probably preparing exclusively by PT'ing on my laptop. I haven't seen many complaints, so I'm guessing it went swimmingly for most aside from the LG section.

Can anyone confirm that the new digital format immediately generates your score? If not, is there any decrease in turn around between taking the LSAT and receiving the score?

Any dramatic thoughts on the effects of the digital lsat at-large? Thanks!!

Am I the only one that took the September test and that the writing for is not available on LSAC?

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!

I see a lot of discussions of the LSAT having a curve but what exactly determines how much the curve is worth. What exactly is the curve and what is it based on?

Hi all,

Similar to most of you, I am a bit bummed about Saturday's test. I have been studying for about a year now, and felt really prepared. I took the July test, and canceled because it was not where I want to be (164+). Before Saturday, my practice tests were falling between 164-169. I believe I did really well on LR, ok on RC, but I know that I bombed LG horribly. The chances are pretty slim that I score 164 even if I did well on those LR sections. I was already signed up for October, but I'm feeling a bit discouraged and stressed on how to study at this point. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to study for someone who has already gone through all practice tests from 30-87. Should I retake tests I've already taken? Should I use early tests for practice? I was also wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the amount of studying from now until October. Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks!

Lauren

Hi everyone,

I have lots of LSAT related stuff that I’m giving away. Message me for more info.

Mods sorry if not allowed.

It's a great community over there. Everyone is going through the same struggle, and so everyone is encouraging and helpful.

Curious your guys' opinions. I've just been going straight through the core curriculum. Anybody have tips for staying up on games and logical reasoning? I take a PT minimum once every other week. Should I be doing past core curriculum problem sets of LG and LR as well? Or should I be doing fresh problem sets from the question bank? Or neither, focus on Reading Comp., and keep taking my periodic PTs?

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

I took my test at American University (School of Law), and I was so surprised at how disorganized everything was. We weren’t even close to being seated at 8:30 am because they were still trying to figure out the tablet and wouldn’t let us in, and when we finally got into the room, they handed everyone their tablets one by one (there was like 40-50 of us so it took forever) and then their seating chart was messed up so it caused even more delays.

We started a full two hours late. IMO this is forgivable for the July exam (due to the special conditions and people knowing they would potentially walk into something like that), but not forgivable for a normal test where all the kinks should’ve been worked out and the proctors should’ve been trained properly.

We started at 10:30 am and many of us were fatigued from the anxiety of the last two hours. To make it worse, the proctor didn’t say “start”, he just started the exam and we all looked down and saw the timer going and panicked. (Someone yelled out “you can’t just start the exam without telling us”) but we all carried on, but it was so frustrating and just sad.

Should I report this to the LSAC? I really think the disorganization, lack of competence on the proctors’ part with the tablets resulting in a two hour delay, was a detriment to a lot of people.

So I took the LSAT yesterday and came out almost crying.

I have two score already 162 and 171(Jan 2019) and TWO CANCELLATIONS (Nov 2018 and June 2019)

My goal is to get into the t6 and so was aiming for a 173+ at this test. Consistenly PTed about 172-178 so thought it was worth a shot, and the games completely destroyed me. I probably guessed at least 10 questions on LG.

If I keep score, I’m predicting a score around 165 - or even lower. I hate to see a score decline :(. But if I cancel, I would have three cancellations and I feel it’ll look so bad to the admissions officers.

Should I cancel or keep score? Your advice is much appreciated!

I am giving the LSAT on October 13th in India , and I am confused whether the LSAT here will be digital or not ? I don't want to be surprised on the test day because I am doing all my PT's with pencil paper .

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.

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?

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?

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.
