I have a large gap between my actual PT score and my blind review score. I have been consistently scoring in the 168-169 range but am BRing in the 177-179 range. If anyone has had a similar experience what is the best way to get over this?

Hello everyone,

I am working towards taking the November LSAT as my first test. I had hoped to take the September test, but missed the deadline by one day (flew home from Asia and mindlessly thought the deadline was the 1st). I have been studying on and off since March, but plan on studying full-time now that I have graduated.

I have a few questions; is it wise to submit applications before my LSAT score comes through? If I score lower than expected in November, would it be okay to test again in January? If I do test again in January, should I hold off applying until I receive those scores? Or should I submit early and have my updated scores sent in as they come?

I read that applying around December is fairly acceptable as long as you aren't shooting for ED. I was in the top 15% at my school (UCSB) and my first raw PT was 163. I am hoping to raise that by at least 5 points. Although I am only applying to one T-14, most others are still in the T-50. Sorry for all the questions, feeling a little frantic about making this cycle!

Thanks so much!

Okay, I just had to tell someone. I am officially registered for the October LSAT (in Asia). We are stationed in northern Japan, so I will be making the 800 mile trek to Tokyo for the exam. Anyone here ever tested overseas? Anyone else testing in Asia? Anyhow, I'm super excited and nervous right now and just had to share. :-)

I like Blind Reviewing tests, like I get a second chance

I like proving LSN wrong, I'll go where it say I can’t

'Bout LSAT, can’t party, bros

Yeah they call me Cardi Bri, I train LSAT like cardio!

Be sure to check out my Soundcloud!! LOL JK I defs do not have a Soundcloud. The only reason I would ever post such a thing is because my identity is 99% anonymous here :)

I couldn't get my mind off today's LSAT so this was my way of decompressing and having a little fun :) Hope ya'll enjoyed!!

This is so stupid that I did this, but I forgot to register for the September exam. The deadline was yesterday. Do you think I could call someone? What are my options? What could I possibly do? I am so stressed right now

I know it's possible to adjust the speed of the videos, but it doesn't work on my mac laptop. I've tried both chrome and safari. Suggestions on what settings/software needs to change?

Hi,

I am taking the September LSAT and have taken about 8 practice tests thus far and have been between 157 and 160 on all of them, however my BR is much much higher, as High as 169. This is especially true on LR, where I am normally -5-8 and BR -1-3. I have about 40 days left and would love to score around 162-165. Is this possible and what is my best course of action.

For the love of all that is holy please tell me how to skip questions. I can skip like nobody’s business with LG but I never skip any LR or RC question. I always finish my sections but I think this is really inhibiting me from getting higher LR scores because I sink the most time on hard questions and I’m noticing in BR that I’m getting a ton of easy ones wrong to make up for lost time. Any advice? #help

I went online to pay for the test today and realized I have missed the deadline for the September exam. I just only decided on pursuing law school two weeks ago and have since begun 7sage curriculum. Is the November test too late to use to apply to Top 50 schools? My GPA is not great (2.8-3.1) but my diagnostic exam had me at a 160 and my most recent had me at a 165. Any advice welcome:) Thank you!

Hi,

I was hoping to ask for advice from those of you who have experienced and have got passed a160 plateau.

I started studying for the LSAT in May and my initial diagnostic score was a 145. My last five recent PTs are 159, 159,162,160, and 160 and my blind review score average is around 170. After I do the blind review I get almost all LR right, maybe except one or two questions, and same goes for LG. But I still get around 5-6 wrong on RC. My goal is to get a 165 and I am writing the test in September.

My average incorrect answers in each section is as below:

LG: -4

LR: -5 each

RC: -8 (I am an ESL student so at best I have to spend 3:30 min on each passage)

Right now I am doing three PTs a week and I do BR after each plus I am still fool proofing more rare/mapping/pattern games.

Since I got almost the same score in my last 5 PTs I have started questioning the effectiveness of doing only PTs followed by BR. What I am not sure about is whether doing PTs is going to increase my score or should I still do more drills and work on my techniques.

Thank you :)

I took the test today. Needless to say, not feeling good. I already cancelled once. This was my second take. I know I did poorly. The deadline to sign up for September is in 45 minutes. Is there any downside to waiting until November? At this point I’m not sure if it’s for me, even though I want to try one last time. I made great improvements but today was just... off. Logic games were nothing like what I was prepping. Was constantly getting -5 max and I’m lucky to have gotten 10 right today. Any help appreciated. Not sure if I should keep the dream alive or get my masters in teaching starting this September.

Hey everyone.

So I just took the July LSAT, and it really couldn't have gone worse for me. I was retaking a low 170s score, hoping for a 174+. I figured a retake was in order because I scored well below my PT average in June, and I made silly mistakes on LG.

With how poorly I feel I did on July though, I'm really contemplating cancelling my score and sitting for October/January. My test order was LR LG LR LR RC, and almost everything went wrong.

The first LR section was abnormally difficult for me, and I only finished with 4 minutes to spare rather than my usual of 8-10 minutes. I could easily see myself going -3/-5 for this section as there were several questions where I could not find a correct answer choice.

LG was my second section, and it went terribly. LG is already my worst section, but I misread a rule on the first game which caused me to waste precious minutes on trying to find my error. I was flustered for the rest of the section and I didn't have time to adequately address the fourth game which was a monster of a circular game. I'm guessing easily -6/-10 on this section alone.

Although RC is usually one of my best sections, I had RC as my dead last section and I was pretty tired/extremely demoralized from my performance in LG. I usually go -1 for RC, but honestly I could see myself going -4/-5 for this RC section.

Honestly, it feels like I'm going to go -14 to -20 for this exam, which would put my score well under what I scored in June. How bad does it look to have such a huge score regression? I'm so incredibly frustrated right now -- I take all my PTs in strict timed conditions and my average is mid/high-170s but I feel like I'll never actually score that high when LSAC decides to throw twice-a-decade curve ball questions at my head. As it stands, this exam is looking worse than my first ever post-cc exam, and almost as bad as my diagnostic.

Hi,

I was wondering if the CC problem sets for Ultimate+ account include all the RC, LR sections from PT 1~36.

Hi, friends. I took the July LSAT. I left rather despondent, but, hey, it was my first time. I decided I am going to try and retake it in September. Luckily, I discovered that TODAY is the last day to register for this exam. Also, if anyone has any words of wisdom in how to approach my studies between now and the Sep. test date, that would be great. Thanks!

What is this mystery thing that we are apparently allowed to use?

Edit: Ok so a normal highlighter. Wow. Thoughts on actually using one?

Hi, so I'm fairly new to 7sage. I am just 3 weeks into studying the CC. I just had a question on the best way and time to incorporate the question bank into my studying. Would you guys say it is better to do the question bank after topics or to save it for the weeks when there are just practice tests (so I can target my weaknesses and work on that more)?

I am wanting to transfer after my first year from the law school that I am about to attend. Is it hard to do that? I would like to know if all my classes would transfer or would I have to retake some? Could I transfer after a semester or would I have to complete the first year?

Thanks in advance for the information!

Have any of you found a convenient solution to fool proofing now that the PDF ban is in place? I've fool proofed all of the games that are included in the CC so now I'm looking for my next step. I am thinking about just using the 10 Actual books in the 40s and 50s for drilling/proofing and using an eraser so that I can do the games more than once. Any ideas?

LSAC announced last year that the 3 lsat attempts in 2 years has been changed to unlimited attempts. Can someone provide a LSAC link, or some sort of evidence?

Like many of you, I took the July LSAT today. I don't know how I did so I am hoping for the best but assuming the worst. In this case, where should I begin PTing again from? I've already used all of PTs 36-84 and everything in the CC. I'm asking this incase I have to restart my studies again incase today's test did not go well.

Some of you asked us if you can use emojis on this Forum. (s)The answer is.....you can use a very limited number of emojis.(/s)

The last center I had had a clock. Do you think I should run to walmart and get an analog one or chance it?

Are the conversion charts at the end of each PT the same for every test? Or are they adjusted for the curve for that particular test. For instance, I got a 68 on PT 37 which translates to a 156 according to the conversion chart. However, I checked the score with another converter online and a 68 was a 159.

Anyone know which one would be right?

Hi guys I just wanna get some opinions on my BR vs regular scores. I’ve taken only 2 PTs so far and these were the scores:

Test 1 Timed: 149

Test 1 BR: 153

Test 2 Timed: 145

Test 2 BR: 158

My goal is to be at 160 or higher. I was kinda disheartened to see my already low initial score decrease but I was also surprised that my BR score was that much higher? Any advice on what I can take from this, what this means and where to go from here?

Thanks guys

Hey, thanks for stopping by.

So here's the deal. I got through my first PT. As I took the PT I circled all of the answer choices which I was uncertain of (as is suggested by 7sage). For each section, I noticed that I circled about 2/3 of the questions -- leaving about 8 answers uncircled.

My score somewhat reflected what you might expect from a first time PT. I got a 148. I went back an did BR, typed in my new answers -- and the score hardly moved at all. It only went up to a 151. Here's the thing -- I found that in one section I got all of the answers wrong that I DIDN'T circle. Does this make sense? So basically the questions I was most certain of were the ones that I got wrong.

Has anyone else shared in a similar experience (especially of this magnitude)?

Thanks for any time

Thomas
