Has any one taken the LSAT in person? I hate doing it online with a passion it takes about an hour to just get the test which makes my anxiety worse. I wanted to see if it worth taking in person is it old school like with pen and pencil or do you have to take it with a computer as well?

As the title says, I have already started old syllabus and something like 25-35% through it. Should I switch to the new one and go from the start or they are not that different and I am good with doing the old one and just skipping LG sections???
Hi all! I am currently a full-time student, working ~35 hours a week as an LA, and trying to fit in at least 3-4 hours a day on LSAT prep. Are there others in the same boat, and how are you avoiding burnout?
I suppose I just want to hear from anyone who is managing a similar workload that can sympathize. It seems like most of my friends and fellow pre-law students are able to take time off of school and work in order to study.
Hello! I'm just finishing off my first week with 7Sage, and I'm wondering when to start taking full-length PrepTests. (I am not in a rush to prepare for a specific test date.) Should I start when I've worked through all the course content, immediately, or sometime in between? If there is guidance on this in the course, I have not been able to locate it yet.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
I am having trouble printing out a full length prep test. I saw there should be a convert to PDF option, but I do not have that. Is this option no longer available?
Hi, I took PT7 offline and scored it in 7sage-- now how do I have it appear in analytics with my other tests I've taken?
With the removal of logic games, i'm anticipating LSAC to make up for the difference with a harder LR section. All LSATs are hard, but what level of hard might next month's test will be?
I want to get into the best school possible and receive as much scholarship $$$ as possible. My goal is BigLaw after graduating. Am I completely delusional? Are these goals attainable? Should I switch life tracks completely?
I am a low 150's scorer on average with most of my PT's, and have seen my fair share of lsat questions from having put in many hours already along with taking the test twice, and have noticed recently that in these PT's my highest section is always the experimental. As you may realize, this is very frustrating for me, for where I am scoring 15, 16, 17 questions right in the sections that are counted, I am almost always consistently scoring in the 20's for ONLY my experimental sections. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a reason for this pattern? I seem like I'm going crazy missing out on my highest scoring section not being counted in my score. Maybe it's just bad luck.
I have been preparing for a couple months now and I am trying to create study group of ambitious students looking to score a 170+. As a group we will preferably meet online and use Slack or Discord to chat keep each other accountable, and have meetings together to talk about certain sections to improve.
Reply to this post or feel free to text my account on 7sage. Hoping to meet you all!
As the title... is it in the prep tests section?
I've been doing a lot of drills lately but I'm starting to worry that I will ruin my ability to do practice tests if I become too familiar with all the questions. Is there a way to avoid spoiling respective PTs while still completing a sizeable number of drills?
I'm not sure what to do, I am planning on taking the September LSAT but I'm not sure ill be able to gauge how ready I am by the registration date. I would do the October LSAT but then I wont be able to see my score before the November registration deadline if I need to take it again. Maybe im not understanding how it works etc. but im just not sure if I should take it in october and then register for november wihtout knowing my score in case i didnt get the score i wanted or register for september but I wont know for certain how ready I am by the time we have to register
Aloha! I had submitted my application last month but through looking in the discussions and my email realized I never got an email and I wasn't signed in to the account, is there anyway someone can see if my application was received.
I am taking the August LSAT, and I have consistently pointed one point lower than my diagnostic-- I think I've taken 6-7 tests. I am on RRE, and I've been taking the course in syllabus order. Should I skip to my weaker sections? Or should I consider a different prep site?
Maybe I'm being extra hard on myself but just the Core Curriculum is taking forever! It's taken me 2 months of full time studying.
I'm spending the time to truly absorb everything though which I already am seeing a payoff when intuitively understanding the questions and getting them right.
How long did it take you guys to get through the foundations, Logical Reasoning, and Reading Comp? This is for the new format without Logic Games.
I'm taking the test in Oct/Nov so want to make sure I give enough time to drill the crap out of everything and do tons of PTs.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
I tried to use the strategy of flagging questions that I am not 100% sure, but I couldn't find the flag button for the 7sage practice tests. Could someone please help an apparently blind man?
I took PT 132 recently and did really well on everything except the experimental section. On the regular RC section I only missed 2, but on the experimental RC I missed 10. Should I spend as much time reviewing the experimental questions as I would if I missed regular questions? I don't want to waste study time if the exp questions are always changed or aren't indicative of regular answer patterns, etc.
I'll be taking my first LSAT in August, and I plan on taking it in-person. I was wondering how the conditions are like?
Also, is it true that the in-person centres use computers and the same interface as remote test takers? I just want to make sure this is the case, as I've never done a PT on paper and don't want to
Heads up, everyone! Starting July 1, LawHub Advantage will be increasing the cost of their annual subscription by $5. It's going from $115/year to $120/year.

I'm curious if anyone has been in a similar situation and can give me some color on how they went about successfully receiving accommodations.
I was diagnosed with a learning disability in elementary school and received testing accommodations (Time and a half) until I graduated High School. I did not elect to receive accommodations on standardized tests (SAT/AP/ACT). I did not elect to receive accommodations in college either. All I have is proof of my initial diagnosis (from elementary school) and an IEP (Individual Education Program) that states I am to be given accommodations for testing. There is no proof that these accommodations were continued throughout high school because all that was necessary for me to receive the accommodations was a written letter from my parents every year requesting that I still receive said accommodations.
I'm confident that I can have my General Practitioner fill out the necessary form and even write a letter that I should receive accommodations but I am not sure that along with my documentation from elementary school will be enough. Do I need a psychologist to do so? Will my Dr be enough? Will my lack of accommodations past high school disqualify me?
I called LSAC and they were rather unhelpful. All they told me to do was submit the proper documents and when I asked if what I have will be enough they told me to reference the website.
Anyone have any recommendations/advice on how I can sure up my chances of receiving accommodations? Kinda freaking out here.
For some reason my drills have been expiring way before the time is up. I was doing a timed section and 9 minutes into the drill stated I ran out of timed and kicked me out mid game. Please fix this error.

Hello everyone! I wrote the test in June for the second time and scored 153. When I first started studying for the test, I set my goal to 165. However, after nearly 6+ months of studying I cannot get anything past 155 on timed tests. Of course, I am able to score much higher than 155 on an untimed test, but it's very difficult to almost impossible for me to score higher than this on a timed test. I'm not looking to go to a t14. I'm based in Michigan and want to stay close to home so the two schools I'm looking at are Detroit Mercy and Wayne State. I have a 3.9 GPA and my resume is pretty decent imo. I have a couple of internships and have been working as a legal assistant for the past year. I don't know if I should retake it or if my stats are good and I should apply. Also, LG was the easiest section for me and now that it's gone, the test will definitely be much more difficult for me. Should I apply or should I study for another 6 months or however long it will take for me to reach my target score?
Thank you in advance!
Just hit my first 170 after studying for many many months (146 diagnostic)! Hoping to keep it up, progress feels AMAZING!
I find myself having three problems on the LSAT
Lack of stupid errors, overlooking one particular word or reading something as "drowning" instead of "Downing".
In Flaw and NA questions, I usually understand the flaw. For example, I can tell that its confuses sufficiency for necessity. HOwever, I struggle to connect my hypothesis with the language in the answers.
The last is a lack of attention and struggling on RC passages, especially when it comes to inference questions
I would appreciate any help or advice, thanks
