For context, I have not had testing accommodations in the past, but I have had an anxiety diagnosis for about 9 years now and am requesting 50% more time, however, I do have Kaiser Permanente, and it seems like due to their policy they aren't allowed to fill out outside/custom forms that aren't theirs. When I sent the request for my psychiatrist to fill out the qualified professional form, they instead sent me a "psychological disability form", which just shows the diagnosis + date, limitations on life activities (concentration/test stress management), as well as the current medications I'm taking for this. Would it be enough to just submit this document + explaining that it is out of my control that my healthcare provider is unable to fill out the qualified professional form. Anyone has a similar experience with Kaiser, what did you do? any advice?

I've been feeling like I was going to end up stuck in the 150s forever, after consistently scoring around 153-156 (I'm taking the August LSAT). I took a preptest today and ended up with a 164!!! I could not be happier, as my goal for the actual exam has been at least a 160- now it finally feels attainable :) time to keep drilling + aim for consistently scoring in the 160s!
I am getting very frustrated that many of the questions that I got wrong on preptest 156 do not have explanations, they only have the option to "discuss." Does anyone know why this is and where I can find explanations? Also does anyone know if there's a way I can know before taking a preptest that I will not have explanations for each questions? #help #feedback

I was wondering if there was a way to take a 3-section test similar to the one they offered with the last format. I essentially just want to take a PT with RC LR LR, just complements my studying style better
Hi everyone! Every time I take a prep test in the August format I always do much better in the experimental section compared to the others.
Is that section supposed to be easier? Has anyone else had this experience? Thanks!
Hi! How would I go about picking the section I want to take in the prep test? For instance, I would want to go into the test and only take one LR section and review it and then take another section of that test at a different time and review it without taking all four at once?

The day that I want to test is all booked. Is there anything I can do?
I can't test on any day but Saturday, but there is only availability for the weekdays. I have work which I really can't call off for at this time.
I have been studying on and off for the LSAT since January but have really started studying in May. I am registered for the August LSAT but I want to cancel since I am not close to my goal score. My BR is closer to my goal but I struggle a lot with timing.
However, I didn't know if it would be beneficial to take the test to get a feel for what its like to be in the testing center. I know you can score preview and cancel. But I'm not sure how admissions officers view cancellations. I plan to take again in September and then October if needed. I am applying this cycle and now I feel like I am behind. Any advice or help?
Taking the August test. Last week I was finishing up the modules and I was flying through them and I felt like I could understand the test like Neo at the end of the Matrix. Then starting this week I have tried to study and I feel like all of that is out the window. In some aspects its like last week never happened and I feel like I'm back to square one. I was told I might be burned out but I don't feel like that at all, I felt really good but then it disappeared. Help me get that feeling back cause it will take me to the promised land!
Taking the test in August. Just finished my last practice test and I got a 168, before that a 169, and before that a 167. It feels like I just can't break into the 170 no matter what I do. Should I just be hyper-focusing now on the questions I'm getting wrong and set aside everything else?

I'm taking the September 2024 test in-person, on paper, and was wondering if I was allowed to bring highlighters? I have been using Bailey's highlighting strategies for reading comp and wanted to know if I should be prepared to not be able to do that on the actual exam???
Hey everyone!
So I'm contemplating on whether I should re-write the diagnostic test. I wrote one a couple of months back (July, I think). Scored a 153 (LG: 15/23, LR 1 and 2: 15/25, RC: 20/27) . However, I sort of lost track of time as I was taking the test -- I got really involved with the questions because I found them intriguing and just wanted to spend time trying to figure them out. I think I probably went 10 - 15 mins over on each section. Just an estimate though, not entirely sure.
I was contemplating on re-writing it before starting the CC. Should I? I honestly would prefer it if I wrote it after completing the CC (partly because I feel like it might be a bit demoralizing). I know people are divided on this so I'm not entirely sure if that's a good decision. Thoughts?
Just a suggestion to improve 7Sage: there should be a link to the old PT's explanation page for each question! I often rely on the comments to really solidify my understanding and it would be good if they were integrated into the new format explanations somehow!
Anyone else agree?
Remember in "Some and Most Relationship" lesson, JY mentions that "some" and "many" can be used interchangeably because they both have subjective definition. Then how about "few"? Can I treat "few" as same as "some" and "many" since it's also has a subjective definition? Then when I negate it it would be "none" correct? Thanks everyone!!! :D
I have a subscription with 7Sage & was able to link my account since I got this account in June. But now it's saying I have to purchase another subscription?? I have been able to access drills since the beginning but, today it's giving me issues. Can someone assist me with this issue?
Hey everyone! So one of my LOR is from a lawyer I worked for, and I don't know what to put for her title on the LSAC LOR page? Should I just leave it blank or say attorney? Any ideas? Thanks!!
Hello everyone,
After reading the LSAC page on the LSAT writing section, it mentions that I will be able to write my essay beginning at least 8 days prior to my in-person or virtual test date. However, everywhere online, I hear of people saying that anyone can write their essay after their test day. Is this true? Where do I find this information?
I often run into questions I have already seen on LawHub when doing drills. I would like to skip them, but if I don't provide an answer then these questions are added to questions I got wrong. Is it possible to skip questions?
So I have identified a problem that I have no idea how to approach. In any given section, I will miss 4 questions. However, I've found that I always know the questions I'm going to miss in advance and that I typically end up overthinking problems that are not realistically complex (3s or 4s). How do I stop myself from second-guessing the complexity of the question and trying to outsmart the test writers? How do y'all convince yourselves that you are right on questions that seem like they are blatantly attempting to trick you, especially considering the time-constraints?
First PT was a 164, then a 168 - was stuck in the mid 160s for awhile, then broke through to low 170s, then mid 170s then just today I got a 180.
Feels really good although I want to keep drilling to ensure that my real score lands somewhere close to this.
Is this something that we will know before August or after? By scale I mean how many questions you can get wrong to get X score.
I am planning on taking the November LSAT and I have been scoring in the 150's on practice tests, is it possible for me to get in the high 160's by November? Not to mention I have no commitments work or school wise, so I have all day and time to study up until test dates. Any advice or takes?
