Do law schools give you a reason why you’ve been denied or can the person call and ask?

If someone has their test date postponed for a couple days after the scheduled test date, are they given a different version of the test in any way? I imagine the 4 scored sections would have to be the same (they are, right?), but are the experimental sections the same as well? Anyone with experience with this?

Hi all,

I hope that everyone who took the June LSAT got the score they desired, and that those taking the July LSAT are beginning to feel confident about their abilities!

I am facing a bit of a real-life RRE situation with my LSAT preparation. On the earlier PTs, I am scoring in the 170s (just got a 174 on PT 38, 178 BR), but on the newer PTs I am scoring in the low-mid 160s (BRs in the high 160s). I am alternating back and forth, and for whatever strange reason, the newer PTs are just more difficult for me. It's not as though I am falling for traps or anything like that on the newer tests because I know I don't know the answer to a host of questions when I am taking them.

Has anyone else encountered this phenomena personally? Or does anyone have any wisdom to impart on how to bridge this difference? Or is there no difference, and this is somehow entirely mental or some sort of statistical anomaly? Thanks for any advice, and good luck to those who are studying!

Hi all! I've been studying for the paper LSAT since January of this year and am registered for the July LSAT. When I finished the CC a few months back, I started taking paper practice tests. I recently started taking online PTs, and have been shocked to find that my average score is about ten points lower than my average paper score. Has anyone else has this problem? Does anyone have tips?

I'm specifically interested in tips for digital RC - I have been consistently scoring between -1 and -3 in the paper test, but have been missing 10+ on every iteration of the digital test. What has worked well for people making this adjustment?

Thanks for all your advice!

Finished CC. Just did PT 1 today. I'm hoping to write the Sept test and thus will not have enough time to practice all PT 1-35 AND the more recent tests that follow. Which ones should I at least do from 1-35 before moving onto the more recent tests? Or do you suggest an alternative strategy? Thanks!

Hello,

I FINALLY heard back from the LSAC about my accommodations and I was granted not only extra time but an HTML Screen-Readable version of the test. For July, this means I will bring my own computer and can take the test at the center using my computer and screen reading software. I will bubble my answers in on a Scranton.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can practice this for prep tests? Has anyone taken this version before? Am I able to mark on the web page version of the test when I have eliminated and answer or to highlight ect?

So i have the premium pack now, but i will take the test on September which will be digital. So i want to upgrade to ultimate which has up to PT 71. However, is ultimate+ (which has PT 80+) worth it since it has the latest PTs? or there isn't much difference between ultimate and ultimate+?

I got a 167 on March 2019 test, and i got a 168 on pt 85, 169 on PT 82. I have gotten lucky a couple times and got a 171(PT 83) but thats rare. Anyone have tips on scoring in 170s consistently? For LR i get between -2 and -4, RC -4-6 and LG -2-0

Hi all!

Where can I find the essays to begin writing? I don’t see them on LSAC and the apps don’t open until like August or September. Where can I find these?

A Reddit post on the impact of reading speed on the digital LSAT got me thinking.

Some LSAT preparation services, such as 7 Sage, have begun converting LSAT practice tests into the new digital LSAT format. At first glance, this appears to compensate for the new digital format: people preparing for the LSAT will still be able to take practice tests in the actual format of the LSAT.

The problem is that past LSATS converted to the new digital format may provide an inaccurate assessment of preparation for the LSAT because of research indicating that reading on a screen is about 25% slower than reading on paper. I haven't taken a deep dive into where this 25% figure comes from, but it seems credible given some of the sources that have cited it.

Assuming that the 25% decreased digital reading speed is correct, the average person taking a practice LSAT converted to a digital format will read 25% slower than the original paper curve setting test takers. The decreased reading speed in the digital format will significantly impact how practice tests taken in the digital format compare to the curve composed of paper test takers. Additionally, it is likely that other aspects of the LSAT being on paper rather than digital, such as annotations and underlining, may also result in a curve divergence.

In other words, until the release of an LSAT curved to digital test takers, it has likely become much more difficult, if not impossible, to simulate an actual LSAT score due to the absence of a curve that accounts for the significant differences between paper and digital testing.

Any thoughts?

Hello, I am currently going through Questionbank videos for SA and PSA and none of the explanation videos are loading, they keep getting stuck and refuse to start. I have tried clearing cache/cookies and have also ticked the Adobe flash option. If I try watching the video with the Adope flash option unticked, then it says that the video is not encoded properly.

Can someone please help me ? I really dont know what to do.

Hi there!

Is there any way this forum would be able to get me in touch with HLS alums/students?

Hey everyone. I’m looking for some help in creating a weekly study schedule for myself for the September 21st exam. I started studying about a month ago using the LSAT Trainer, and saw an increase in score from a 142 diagnostic to a 149.

After I completed the book, I went ahead and purchased a copy of every PT from 29-82. Over the past 2 weeks I’ve been drilling and taking PT’s twice a week. My schedule is

Monday: PT/Review

Tuesday: Drill 1 LG section

Wednesday: Drill 2 LR sections

Thursday: PT/Review

Friday: Drill 1 RC section and 1 LG section

Saturday: Off

Sunday: Review all work from previous week/Drill weakest section type from that week

Should I make any adjustments to my schedule or be doing anything differently? Has anyone made a schedule for themselves that they used and recommend? Thanks in advance.

For those who took June test, I’m sure you have many questions on why 1 AC was wrong and why the other 4 were wrong. Or what would be the fastest way to solve a logic game. Please msg me or comment below if u want to have a group call where we can discuss the exam and answer any questions we have about it.

So, I’ll start out by saying I’m signed up to take the LSAT this month (July 15th), but a big appeal to taking the test this month was that due to the transition to a digital test, you’re allowed to cancel your score if you’re not pleased and take the LSAT again for free in the next year. I took the LSAT once in January and scored a 154, now having finished the curriculum I am scoring in the 160 range, but I guess I’m wondering if those of you who have taken the LSAT after 7sage would say your test scores on the prep tests were representative of what you did on test day. Is it likely that I’ll score more near a 154 again on test day? I also only have the starter pack due to time constraints, so I only have older prep tests. Do you guys think this affects the scores I’m getting as well? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hi all,

With the July LSAT only two weeks away I am starting to become worried and frustrated with my recent scores. My highest preptest score is a 167 however the average of my 5 most recent tests is only a 161-162 so I am very confused at why I did so well on that one and can't seem to reach anywhere near this score again. Is anyone having a similar problem? Also does anyone have tips on how to reach that top score I achieved again?

Hi all!

I got my June LSAT score back and it's a 162 (got -8 on RC, -4 on LR part 1, -5 on LR part 2, and -4 on LG). My scores on PTs range between 160 and 166 so I was not surprised about getting this score. I plan to retake in July (just cause why not since they will give me the chance to cancel after getting the score) and September. Is it realistic to have a goal of getting 165 by July and 170 by September?

Given my score on each section, do you think it is possible to get a high 160s or 170 in September? How much should I be studying? Any other tips are appreciated.

So i have the premium pack now, but i will take the test on September which will be digital. So i want to upgrade to ultimate which has up to PT 71. However, is ultimate+ worth it since it has the latest PTs? or there isn't much difference between ultimate and ultimate+?

The whole beta is pretty rough. However, after submitting my results the app either crashes or freezes up forcing me to exit out and refresh. Anyone else having this issue?

Hello, I have a question regarding the digital LSAT beta on 7sage. I am about to try a digital test on 7sage in a couple of days. Will it automatically be corrected and scored when I am finished? Also, will I be able to review and go over my test sections when I am finished? Sorry for the confusion, But I am just curious before I try out a full digital test on 7sage.

I scored a 164 on my June lsat, which I’m content with but of course would be nice to score higher. I was practice testing at 160-163. On the actual exam, I had -9 reading comp(usually my stronger section), -5 logic games, and -4 logical reasoning. Not sure if those sections were easier than normal and reading comp was harder. Anyways, I registered for July as a backup. I haven’t studied since taking the June exam. So it would really be me just taking a random shot. I studied for a while (6 months but also some time 2 years ago) before June and already have a cancel on my record from 2 years ago. Besides my lsat score, I have a really strong background besides that (top school, graduated with honors etc). Should I take a shot at the lsat in July despite doing above my practice test or just sit this one out? How bad would a another cancel look? I’m not sure I’d want to take it again after the July too. I already registered for July and can’t get a refund

I emailed documents to LSAC requesting accommodations on May 28th but when I review my LSAC it says still reviewing and a decision has not been made. For anyone that has applied for accommodations what was your experience? I am anxious because I am writing the July exam. Input is greatly appreciated.

So I just signed up in order to do digital tests to prepare July. I can’t find how to take a practice test other than a pdf version. How do I access the digital tester?
