Old PT?

Do you guys take old practice tests timed? Like 1-50? How accurate are those? I'm doing 2 times practice tests per week and then reviewing. Is that a good idea?

Fresh Eyes

When I make a mistake on logical reasoning, it seems to have to do with having misread something in the stimulus or answer choice. For example, reading "apples" instead of "some apples". There's a warning this has happened because none of the answer choices seem to make sense. The problem is when I go back to reread the passage and answers, I tend to make the same reading mistake again. However, when I reread the question the next day the mistake tends to be gone. Its almost like I'm temporarily stuck and I need to reboot somehow.

Has anyone experienced this and do you have any advice?

My study journey began in January and I plan on taking the August LSAT. I spent the first two months going through the LR Bible and was doing well in the practice sections at the end of each chapter. Just recently, I finished the 7Sage CC and felt confident whenever I drilled at the end of each section. Due to my anxiety surrounding this exam, I've been procrastinating when it comes to taking an actual PT and decided to take a small step toward my goal by taking an untimed LR section using the 7sage drilling feature. To my dismay, I was unable to focus on any of the questions and had to re-read over and over again. To compound the issue, nothing was clicking or making sense and it felt like I was reading gibberish. I got 15 out of the 26 questions incorrect and I feel inherently stupid. I didn't even have the mental energy to blind review and at this point I'm questioning if I'm truly cut out for this. Am I just brain fatigued? Any encouragement is welcome.

Changes within LawHub

LawHub added new prep tests on their platform to mirror the new format starting August 2024. They labeled them Preptests 101 to 158. Does anyone know if the content on these tests is new or are they just reusing old test materials (from PT 1 to 94) and updating the format? Thanks

I renewd My yearly Lawhub subscription with the same account. However, I keep receiving the following notice:

"Sorry, your account must be linked to an active LSAC LSAT LawHub Advantage account to access licensed materials. Link your account to continue your access.

You successfully linked 7Sage to your LSAC account, however your LSAC account does not have an active LawHub Advantage subscription. Please purchase or renew LawHub Advantage on your LSAC account directly from LSAC by logging into lawhub.lsac.org, then tapping on your name in the top right corner, then “Upgrade to LawHub Advantage.”"

What is the difference between the Drill and Problem Sets in the syllabus? For example, under Most Strongly Supported Questions, there is "Drill - MSS Questions" and 12 "Most Strongly Supported Problem Sets". They both seem to have 5 questions, but there is always one drill section and multiple problem set sections.

Also, does everyone get the same questions in the drills and problem sets? Or it's a random assortment of questions each time you take it?

Gpa Addendum Need help!

I had maintained a 4.0 GPA until I decided to switch my major to follow in my sister's footsteps into dentistry, aiming to make my parents proud. This decision, especially transitioning to a science major in my junior year, was extremely challenging due to my longstanding dislike for science. This struggle led to a severe Adderall addiction as I attempted to numb the reality of my situation, significantly impacting my grades during this incredibly difficult period where I was taking about seven classes, including science labs, simultaneously.

Additionally, I had to enroll in classes at different universities due to issues with attending classes properly while juggling a demanding schedule, including a dental assistant job from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, with an hour's drive to college and back every day. After realizing the extent of their pressure, my parents eventually agreed to support my ambition to pursue law, provided I steered clear of criminal law. However, my grades worsened in my senior year as I struggled to find myself again, having lost my identity amid these challenges. The experience of living through others' expectations severely affected me. Despite these hardships, my desire to become a lawyer, a dream I've harbored since childhood, remains strong. Yet, I'm concerned about how my past sacrifices might impact my future in law. My GPA eventually dropped to a 3.0, and I had to graduate months later due to the time required for my classes to transfer.

I need advice on how to explain that, although I failed classes at my home university, I performed well at other universities. Oddly, it seemed to be a mental challenge; my home university, initially chosen for its excellent law program, symbolized my dreams and passions. The disheartening experiences there made it difficult to appreciate the school or feel happy. This contrast in performance might be attributed to my perception of lost dreams at my home university, which is why I excelled in the same classes at different universities when I took them for a non-degree purpose.

I'm seeking guidance on how to articulate this complex journey in a GPA addendum, unsure of the best approach to take.

How do you guys study?

How do you guys study for LSATS after the core curriculum? Like how many practice tests do you guys take a week? I work full time so I can mostly just do practice tests over the weekend. Do I just do drills the other days and which drills should I do?

Hi all! I have no friends who are taking the LSAT and I just need some advice. I have not taken the LSAT before and I signed up for the April exam. I've been studying since January and I am hoping to get a 171. My practice scores have varied a lot. From the last two weeks, my l were 173, 169, 166, 170, 169. I have about a month before the April test and from my understanding I need to be scoring around a 174 on my practice tests if I want a 171 on test day. Do I have time? How did you all make the final push? I have gotten my RC down to -3 or -4, my LR to -4 or -5, and my LG to around -3. I often find myself running out of time on LG and RC and making stupid mistakes on LR.

I am very reluctantly considering paying for a admissions consulting company's help. I think $3000+ is insane. However, if I could get $3000 more in scholarships and/or get into a more desirable school I think it is worth it. Any thoughts? Have any of you paid for a service? And if so, what are your thoughts?

I began self-studying about two months ago for the June 2014 LSAT, and decided to postpone the exam. I then registered for 7sage and went through all the curriculum. I took my first practice test with 7sage recently -- my actual score was a 160, which is was my average score before I began with 7sage. My blind review score was a 170. I'm very comfortable with the exam without the time constraint, but under pressure I'm not as confident. I'm wondering: is it possible to achieve my blind review score (or close to it) under timed pressure for the September 2014 exam? I have the feeling it is very possible, but I'm just not sure how to push past this roadblock. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

They haven't sent out the email to register for the exact date/time/location for the April 2024 test right? Also, when they do send it out, is it a rush to claim a spot or do they generally have enough spots available at in person testing sites. I have a pen and paper accommodation and am required to take it in person because of this, so I just want to make sure I will be able to get a location within driving distance lol.

LawHub Subscription

I'v received a notification that I needed to renew my LSAC LawHub Advantage subscription in about a week. I repurchased the subscription today and am still seeing the notification. Is there anything else I can do to make sure LSAC account and 7sage accounts are linked? Or is this a lag?

Prep Test Section Order

I've recently taken PTs 61, 62, and 65. I took them as four-section tests because I'm taking the test in April and July. For all three, the sections were ordered as RC, LR, LG, LR.

Was this a coincidence? Or are all of the four-section tests set this way by 7sage? If so, can this please be changed? I would like to replicate test day conditions as closely as possible.

Hey!

So ive been attempting to study for the LSAT for god knows how many years now. I think I am finally ready to give it my all.

I was wondering if there are people here who have worked full time and also studied. How did you guys manage? I realize its so much harder because you spend 9-5:30pm working then studying.

If you have, can you explain how you did it and how many months it took you? Also, if you dont mind-- do you mind sharing your score? I got 148 on my practice test.

Thanks!!

PT advice

Hey everyone, I wanted to get some good advice from fellow LSATers. How often should I PT? I am currently finishing the core curriculum, in the LR section and was wondering when and how often should I start PTing? Should I complete my CC, or do I start PTing once in a while? Thank you in advance.

Confirm action

Are you sure?
