Sadly, I have a 'Withdrawal' on my Dec 2016 exam bc on the morning of the exam I woke up & my watch decided to stop working. Perfect. So, yea, don't want that to happen again next Saturday. Just wanted to get people's thoughts on good/decent watch brands to go for that will definitely not mess-up. Planning to order from Amazon Prime this week. Also not spending $50+ for the 180 watch.

I'll note: the watch I do have for everyday use is a J.Crew / Timex military watch (https://shop.r10s.jp/endless-trip/cabinet/03766270/03766275/img63799930.jpg) and I'll probably use that on test day if no one has strong feelings about a certain type of watch to get. My only hesitation is that occasionally (rarely) I'll find that the time has accidentally changed (i.e. hours ahead/behind, randomly), and I'm not sure how that's even possible. I'm guessing if I'm not wearing the watch & it's sitting on the desk on test day there shouldn't be any problems, right? [I'm also now realizing that I've been exclusively using the 7sage proctor watch for my PTs and I should start using/trying out this watch before test day!!]

Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

I've seen throughout these forums that there are some sages/mentors that offer tutoring services. Is there a specific page on the site for this or somewhere I can find info in regards to this?

Cheers,

Chris

Hi! My name is Eeshan Garg. Third-year undergraduate (major: Computer Science, minors: English, Psychology) in Canada. Born and raised in India. Hoping to take the LSAT next summer and apply to Canadian and US law schools after! :) In University, I am involved with the CS Society and our Mooting Society. And I work remotely (part-time) for a tech company in California. I look forward to learning from all of my fellow 7sagers/future attorneys. ;)

I am about to take the June 2007 diagnostic and I had a couple of questions about blind review:

Is it imperative that I do the Blind Review the same day as I took the test (right after I finish)? Would Blind Reviewing the day after I took the test be detrimental to my overall improvement in any way? I have a full course load in school + demanding part time job + 7Sage, so I am pressed for time and its a bit hard to spare 6-9 hours a day for a full-length PT and BR session.

Also, after I have circled the questions that I am not 100% certain about, should I BR those questions on a fresh copy of the PT or on the same one that I took? What about the ones that I skipped?

I apologize if these questions have already been answered. I did a quick search on the forums and Google before posting but didn't find any satisfactory answers. It could very well be that I didn't look in the right place or maybe I am not familiar with the forums as much since I am new to 7sage. If this is a complete duplicate, it would be awesome if someone could please point me to the relevant discussion. :)

Thanks!

I'm in a bit of a conundrum and could use some advice. Although I began studying for the September LSAT in late May, my progress, particularly within the realm of Logic Games, was slow. At the time, I was solely using PowerScore and it was not until two weeks ago that I began 7sage's Core Curriculum. Since then, I feel like I've finally broken through in terms of my understanding of Logic Games and the more difficult analytical reasoning questions. Unfortunately, the time window to withdraw from the September lsat date and receive a refund passed right before I discovered 7sage. With all of this in mind, it seems I have two options:

(1) take the test (I'm halfway through the Core Curriculum and have scored 164 and 163 on the only practice tests I've taken) with the very real risk that I blow up on test day but could later take the December test

(2) withdraw from the test and take the December 3rd LSAT (I realize I'd need to explain somewhere in my application letter the legitimate reason for doing this)

I'd really appreciate any guidance that could be offered.

Hello,

I recently bought a watch from this website: http://lsatwatch.webs.com/. I am confused about the new rule applying to watches....can someone please tell me if this is allowed on test day? Thank you!

So I just took PT 81.. Overall got 166! Pretty happy. I have been PT-ing between 167-173. So a small drop but not that bad :)

Got -6 on RC which is lower than what I usually score. Considering all the RC stories about this PT I was expecting to do worse. But still not super happy it went down. Also the experimental I added for this PT was also an RC (took both RCs back to back for endurance) and on the experimental (older RC) I got -2

For those of you who have taken PT 81, what are your thoughts on why and how RC was (by consensus) more difficult than other RC sections? Just wondering how I should go about analyzing my work in BR of this RC section (to learn the most from this RC section! Who knows PT 82 might also have a similar RC..)

My average score for my last 10 PTs (before this week) was a 165. My LR average for last 5 tests was -3. I was feelin good about my improvements and workin closer to a 170. However, I just took 2 PTs (75 & 77) this week, and got a 159 on both of them. For context, I haven't scored that low in about a year.

Totally at a loss and depressed and in total disbelief. I thought the first 159 was an anomaly & shrugged it off, but after the 2nd one... I now feel like I have no grasp on how test day will go on Saturday. This is really scary. I've been at this for over a year and a half but this score is not showing it (relative to myself & to how I scored in my early days of studying, of course--not saying at all that 159 is not a strong score or not a result of many months of studying).

In a word, I'm devastated. The only explanation I can come up with right now is that I've been pretty focused on LG over the last few weeks, and RC even in just this past week.. so maybe my mind isn't "in it" for LR ?? I say that because I went from getting 0-3 wrong per section, to -9, -6, -5, -7 in these most recent LR sections.

So, if that is the case -- any recommendations on what I should do (both mentally & studying methods) to get my head back into it ?? I've been drilling LR questions this morning but I'm still having the same problem &/or not feeling that confident in my answers choices. Any help would be appreciated, especially if something similar has happened to someone else.

Thanks.

Hey! Anyone from CSUSM taking the LSAT on Saturday?

So i've heard from several people different experiences in regards to the lsat proctors on test day. Some say that the proctors stay in the front of the room and others hover over you as you are taking the exam. I personally find it intimidating and distracting when someone is walking around me and watching over me as I am taking an exam. Does anyone know if this is a LSAC protocol or it varies from proctor to proctor?

Hey everyone so this will be my first time taking the lsat and I am confused as to what i should be doing in the days leading into it. I took a practice exam 3 days ago on Saturday. And have done little review here and there, but I don't know what I should do from now till Saturday in terms of review or practice exams. Any guidance would be helpful. Thanks and good luck all.

Seems like you could easily hit 175 if not higher. Has he said it before?

W.T.F? 167

-8 in one LR section? 6 in a row...

-0 in RC?

Do I even know this test? You guys are trolling me.... I've NEVER gone -0 in RC and I haven't gone -8 in LR since June....

Hey GUYS! Wanted to know what some of you are bringing for snacks on the day of the test?

I am taking the September Lsat which is on Saturday and want to take a practice exam tomorrow morning (Wednesday), is this a good idea or not since its kind of close to test day?

Hi all! I've been reading some mixed reviews as to what I should be doing the week before and the day before the test. Most people/websites are saying take it easy...do not do a practice test! Where as others are saying take one last practice test or do certain sections. I was wondering if anyone has some advice on what worked for them during the week and the day before the test!

Thanks!

How would people characterize the LR in PT 80 compared to PT 81 or other preptests in general? I felt surprisingly confident as things seemed to click and my timing was on point as well. I did better on this LR section compared to PT 79's LR when I took it in September. Is it worth taking PT 81 before Saturday or maybe just take PT 81 RC as a section?

A question for those who do well on RC. Do the top scorers avoid subvocalization? I've been tinkering with methods that work best for me on the RC section, and I'm curious if top scorers say the words in their head when reading through RC passages.

HI Everyone - sort of related to my earlier posts but how does a cancellation look with 2 good/better scores when applying?

I've read discussions regarding the best types of pencils and sharpeners to use... I've been using Papermate HB#2 and have had no issue with them!! Does it really matter? (and along with which type of sharpener to buy/use?)

Hey everybody,

It just wouldn't be a week if I didn't ask a million questions. So yesterday I did prep test 54 and scored 154 flat out. I knew it was going to be a low score (rough day) but I was committed. It didn't bother me that much because I normally am around 158 and the big tank was in LG when I hit a game that my brain just could not compute to save my life. I decided to post pone my BR to today after I got some much needed sleep. My BR was 173. My highest score what so ever to date.

Now here comes the question, how do I close that 20 point gap because I would LOVE to do that. Any tips? Advice? Is drilling the way? The questions I missed in LR and RC I saw the answer almost right away for 80% of the stuff I got wrong. I could easily tell my brain had been general MUSH yesterday. I was considering doing some drilling tomorrow on the major question types I got wrong and doing a PT on Sunday. Is that a good idea?

Help your favorite-always-posting lsat kid out.

Love, Victoria

Scored PT 70 and got a 170 with -7 RC lol.

Took PT 81 (June) today and got a 166, -7 RC.

Conclusion: Fk RC

Recently moved....so my driver's license reflects my previous address. Is this something I should be worried about? That is, would they turn you away because of that?

I'm taking today off. I've been studying around 9 hours a day for a while. I think I'm going to turn on some pod casts and clean my place while I play with my little dog. Hope all my fellow LSAT warriors are doing great! I'm not one to participate too much on the threads however I have absorbed a lot of advice from all of you all. Thank you.

Also, if there are any veterans in the DFW area that could use a good paying job which allows you to study at work send me a pm.

Good luck everyone!
