LSAC's policy on hoodies is unclear. They claim that "hats/hoods (except religious apparel) may not be worn on the head," but they don't address whether or not one can wear a hoodie and not put on the hood. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

Hey, I’ve moved on to BRing only circled questions, which is a lifesaver.

BR score actually went up after only doing circled questions because I’m not changing from right to wrong, and it takes me half the time I used to spend on reviewing LR section.

However, I decided to do the rest of the questions before grading, and want to record it separately from my 1st BR score.

I thought I could enter 3rd ACs in the answer sheets because tapping the Q number again after saving it showed 3rd bubble.

But when I saved the 3rd bubble, it just changed my BR score without saving the previous selection...

Is there something I have to check in my account to save them? is there an option to do that at all?

Thank you, and good luck to everyone taking the test on next Monday!!

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

To help you prepare I am Inviting you to BR all of PT 84 with me on Sunday morning.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Proctors:

They were extremely friendly and really made the experience a little less stressful. I found the proctors from this center to be younger compare to ones from another site, thus they were more understanding and helpful. They did their job well without being mean or rude like the ones we usually encounter in test settings.

Facilities:

Northwestern University is has beautiful facilities, the campus is incredible and just very inspirational for a test day. The buildings are well conserved too, which is important for a test setting.

What kind of room:

The room was a typical university/college room. Very clear and bright, which for me really helps, since there is no distractions and it is easier to read in that kind of room.

How many in the room:

I believe there were about 40 people in the room.

Desks:

The desks were long once piece furniture with unmovable chairs right in front of it. The proctors made each student skip a chair to sit (so there was one chair occupied and the following not), which was perfect because I had enough space to be comfortable and place my test materials.

Left-handed accommodation:

The way the desk is set up it accommodates right and left-handed students in the same way.

Noise levels:

Very very quiet, the proctors made sure the environment was quiet and they reprehended lousy test takers (in a polite manner).

Parking:

They have a parking for visitors, it is very easy to find and in the middle of the campus. I didn't have a hard time with it at all.

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

The exam started around 9:00. So not too much waiting time!

Irregularities or mishaps:

None, I thought this place was perfect as a test center.

Other comments:

I been in other ones and this one was by far my best experience. Everything just helped me to take the test feeling relaxed, which is kind of rare, since I usually feel stressed even during the practices. It is definitely worth making a trip even if you liver farther away. The test center is such an important piece of the puzzle and it is better to be safe than sorry.

Would you take the test here again?

Definitely. I would recommend this test site to everyone thinking of taking the LSAT around this area.

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?

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?

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?

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!

Hi,

I am due to take the July LSAT and I'm beginning to get so discouraged. Unable to afford the traditional study websites, I've chosen to self-study (like I'm sure many of you have) using 7Sage, Kahn, and books. The problem is, I'm terrible at this. I've never been a good test taker but the LSAT is in its own league of how terrible I am. My diagnostic was 140, my next test tonight was 139. I was hoping to at least get 168 when it's time to take the actual test but Idk how if my score is going down even though I study everyday. Idk what to do to get my score up besides keep studying but I feel like I'm doing it wrong. Any advice?

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.

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.

I score in the low 160s and it takes me forever to get through my blind reviews. With blind review, I reach around 165. The way I do it is I circle any questions that I am not sure about and think about why each answer is wrong or right. And then I watch the video. After that, I go back and passively watch the video for whichever question I did not circle, including the easy ones. I do not redo those questions tho. I guess I’m really afraid to get the right answer for the wrong reason. However, this takes me a really long time. So I am wondering if maybe I am approaching blind review incorrectly.

When using Google Chrome, I sometimes experience issues with videos not loading, and sometimes the videos stutter as well. I have tried clearing out my cache, but that hasn't helped the situation. Is there any advice on what I should do?

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.

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!

Hi,

I'm planning to take the July exam. Between now and then, the only thing I'm going to do is take practice exams with thorough review in between. I have 12 practice exams scheduled until the July exam. I also have been keeping track of really difficult LR, RC, and LG questions I've encountered, and I'm planning on reviewing those the week before the exam.

My question is, does it make sense to slow down with PT-ing as I get closer to the exam? So for example, from now until the beginning of July, I'll be doing like 2 exams a week but then after July 3rd I just have one final exam planned with thorough review and the review of all the difficult LR, RC, and LG questions I've been tracking. Would you say this is a good strategy, especially because I want to make sure I don't burn out right before the exam?

Thanks!!!

I just downloaded the 7Sage app and I'm curious what to set the background and distraction levels to in order to simulate a realistic exam setting. I usually study in complete silence, but this isn't how it'll be when I take the LSAT in July. Any suggestions on settings would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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?

What kind of pencils are allowed?

Do they need to be wood pencils or can they be lead pencils that are no. 2?

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’m kind of at my wit’s end as to how to study for the LSAT. I have been struggling with it for a year and still haven’t reached my goal score, which is a 170. I need a classroom environment to do well on exams, but have taken blueprint and have plateaued at 160. I’ve consulted several places for private tutoring, but all are charging prices beyond my budget. I’ve also looked for study buddies, but many are also scoring almost exactly the same score as myself and we’re often unable to help each other.

I want to take the exam this September, but don’t have a study strategy. I’ve tried self prepping, but have gotten stuck on many medium-hard questions and can not answer them myself.

Could someone offer me some advice?
