Bill J. Priest Institute for Economic Development in Dallas, MONDAY TEST, 9/26/16

Proctors: one woman. Did not remember she was offering the exam and arrived 30 minutes late. I don't want to go into too much detail, the case is under review. She was very nice but should not have been an exam proctor. She also did not have a registry to check me in. She read the instructions very quietly, and had I not known what they were, I would not have heard her. See more below.

Facilities: bathroom was a ways down the hall but good, room was all right. Room was very large, windows in the back. Standard elementary school desks, maybe about 20 in the room. Desks were small and did not have space to spread out-- had to slide my answer sheet under my exam when not bubbling. Big, nice cafeteria on the floor with lots of vending machines, and a nice set of couches to wait at.

Room next door to mine was under construction during the exam.

How many in the room: just me.

Left-handed accommodation: I didn't look, and I am not left handed.

Noise levels: construction for the first 10 minutes, then my proctor turned on a noise canceling machine which drowned it out. Proctor talked to herself during the exam, but the room itself was quiet.

Parking: Parking was good, but I was also the only one testing. I didn't look to see if there was more around the corner, because there were only a few spots immediately in front of the building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: got there at 8:20, Testing started at 9:45, then section 1 maybe at 9:55/10? Test ended at 1:40.

Irregularities or mishaps: I showed up at 8:20, ticket said arrive by 8:30 and meet in the lobby. No one was there, no one in the building even knew what the LSAT was. Security guard pulled up a schedule to check for me and said the test was only on Saturday and there was no record of anything that day. We called the LSAC and they confirmed I had my test there but would not speak to me more because it was after 8:30 and I would not have been allowed my phone had I been taking the scheduled test. I was a hysterical mess, and thankfully my mom had driven me, so she was corraling staff to help search for my proctor.

At 9, a woman arrived and acted like nothing happened. I believe the LSAC contacted her and sent her down. My mom says she thinks the LSAC woke her up. She was nice, but come on. She had the three of us-- me, mom, her-- sit and have oatmeal before my test, which was helpful because I had been hysterically crying until then. When my mom left, we started. She wouldn't let me have any water during the exam, but she ate some chips and talked to herself a lot during the test. There was construction in the room next door which started when I started section 1, but again, my proctor put on a noise canceling machine.

Would you take the test here again?

Maybe? If I knew for a fact the proctor knew to give me a test and showed up on time and they weren't doing construction, yeah. All of those seemed to be unique to my situation, and I highly doubt they will be repeated. All my misfortune aside, my biggest complaint was that the desks were smaller than I'd like, but they were definitely usable-- I didn't have to fold my exam or anything. I appreciated that they offered noise canceling machines.

Date of Exam: 9/26/16

Hi, first time poster long time lurker here..

I just wrote my LSAT a few days ago after studying on and off for over a year.

I'm certain I did not do well though because of messing up pretty majorly on the LG and RC section.

I think I had some anxiety and completely froze up when it came to the Logic Games section and spent way too much time overanalyzing the first two games and was only able to finish 2 1/2 of the games so that left me guessing the rest of the questions and the last game. I was really bummed about this because the games themselves did not seem like they were too difficult but the pressure just really got to me and I had to re-read things over and over and just psyched myself out.

How can I get more confident and faster at the LG games? I've printed out all the games that JY has talked about in the curriculum and have been redoing them but if I encounter something new I always freeze.

RC was also a struggle for me and I only got through 3/4 passages and completely guessed on the fourth passage. The timing just really screws me over where I only get through 3 of the 4 passages even when doing my practice tests. Can someone please provide me with some advice on how I can get through all 4 passages?

I'm pretty certain at this point I will cancel my score because I don't want to screw myself in case I get a really low score. I would like to retake and do the December LSAT after working on these weaknesses. I only have a few months left so I want to make good use of my time.

Any insight would be appreciated!

Hey I am having a tough time with sufficient assumptions for some reason. Did anyone else have a harder time with them and find a resource that really helped? it just isn't clicking yet. Any suggestions? thanks in advance

So they have those superprep I and II...I read some of their explanations but wonder whether I should read all of them.

Do you think they are helpful in knowing how they design the questions and what their thought process is?

(How they get to the correct answers etc.)

Thanks!

What is 7sage contact info?

When I studied for other tests, people suggest to read questions first.

Why we should not do the same for this test?

What makes this test different from others?

(Do you read questions first for other tests or not?)

Hi everyone!

I just took the test for the first time this past weekend, and to be honest, I know for a fact I scored ~155 (or lower :(). It really was the nerves for me, as I had been scoring ~160 previously. That being said, I'm preparing for the December test now, and am aiming for 167+ to make up for this initial score (lofty goal I know, but I just started 7Sage and have got to say the methods are way better than the other company I was with!!!).

I read on another discussion that it's best to get your non-LSAT application components submitted by December for this application cycle, and just put a "hold" on your LSAT score. This being said, I have a couple questions:

1) If I don't cancel this first score yet I finish the other parts of the application, will admission committees see my first score of 155? Or will they wait until Jan 5 (or whenever the Dec test score is released) to look at my application for the first time? I would just hate for them to first see my application with this first LSAT score....

2) Does it look bad to start the applications now, yet submit them in December, or worst case, January? I haven't dared to touch the "start application" button on any of my LSAC saved schools, as I'm unsure exactly what they think of this. Nonetheless, I really want to see all the prompts so that I can start thinking about what I should write about!

Any advice would be so helpful, thank you guys so much!

so what do you guys think? when is it coming?

I am currently preparing to take the LSAT in December...I think LR is a huge problem for me and I don't know how to fix it and I feel super frustrated :( My LSAT score is around 165-175 (depending on how badly LR is going) and I would love to get 170+ in December...on my last PT I scored -3 in one LR and -6 on the other. Ouch!

I've reviewed the curriculum and I've gone through powerscore, and I just started using the LSAT trainer. I've used analytics and it seems like I miss flaw questions often. I have also been doing BR and writing out explanations, looking them up, watching videos, etc.

Going to try and describe my problem...it seems that I can always understand the conclusion and the support. I generally know what is wrong with the argument but my phrasing of it seems to be off? Then I get thrown off by the answer choices. It always makes sense after I read an explanation, but then the next time it seems like I am still missing LR questions. I feel like I have been studying for so long that this is making me wonder what I am doing wrong - I must be being inefficient somehow. I don't know what to do.

Is this normal?

Thanks for your help.

Hey Guys,

In studying for the September test, I took PTs 63-78. These are the most modern ones; I did not think that I would need to take the December lsat, but now I think I have to. How should I study for it? Should I do PTs 51-63? But then I would not be doing the most modern ones? I sort of messed up :'(

@"Dillon A. Wright" Please delete if I say more than I am allowed.

Our test today was administered while construction crews were working on fixing the street right outside the testing room. The jack hammering started during section 2 I believe and continued uninterrupted until finally it got so bad that the proctor STOPPED OUR EXAM IN THE MIDDLE OF A SECTION!!!!!!!! But of course not until the JACK HAMMERING! was right next to the building and the entire building was shaking! Repeat, THERE WAS AN INDUSTRIAL SIZED JACK HAMMER ATTACHED TO A BOBCAT PULVERIZING THE CONCRETE ABOUT FIVE FEET AWAY FROM WHERE PEOPLE WERE TAKING THE LSAT! It was terrible before that but the entire building shaking just made it so extra absurd. We sat there for over an hour with our tests closed MID-SECTION! while the silliness continued. Then we finished the rest of the test. So, yeah, no big deal.

I don't even know what to say. It was beyond description and 100% more surreal than I can convey.

AAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! (followed by laughter because the only thing we could all do today was just laugh at the ridiculousness of it all)

So my issue is that I'm trying to raise my score from a 160 to 165 by December and am focusing on the games for a few weeks to do this. My question is just that when I do these games, should i just be doing them over and over again until i perfect all the inferences within the time limit, or should i be BR'ing before looking to the videos for explanations? What i've been doing so far is doing each game timed and then looking to the videos for explanations on the ones i missed. Then i put the game away for a few days and try it again a few days later and see if i can make the inferences i missed the first time around within the suggested target time.(I usually score anywhere between 17-20 on the LG section during PTs so I'm trying to get as close to perfect on the games as i can.)

Overall, I thought this test center was ideal for testing conditions. The proctors started the formal LSAT instructions right as the last person was seated. I was one of the last few students seated but I still had time to use the restroom, which was attached to the testing room, before the formal LSAT instructions began.

Proctors:

I thought the proctors did a really good job. They were very professional and friendly. They followed the LSAT instructions and remembered to give us the five minute warning for each section. One of the proctors did walk around which was distracting at times. I’m not really sure if they are required to for rooms that are very narrow so some students may be harder to see than others from the middle of the room. In any case, thank goodness the proctor with the flip-flops on was not the proctor walking around. Flip-flops are the least noise-friendly shoe for testing environments.

Facilities:

Small law school in the heart of Sacramento with three rooms: one large room upstairs; one medium-sized room on the first floor; and one small sized-room on the first floor. All of the rooms are fairly small in comparison to the large auditorium/gym sized rooms other LSATs are administered at. A thin(ish) wall separates the medium-sized and small-sized rooms so we could faintly hear the formal instructions from the small room after time had started for section 1. It wasn’t horribly distracting compared to Mr. Sniffles sitting next to me and the incessant scribbling by what felt like everyone in the room during section 1.

What kind of room:

I was in the medium sized room with no windows, which at first can give you an Alcatraz-feel, but this is absolutely perfect for testing.

How many in the room:

Approximately 20-25 were assigned to my room, the medium-sized room. There is a smaller room and it seemed like half as many students were assigned there. I can’t speak to how many were seated in the largest room upstairs but I can’t imagine more than another 35-40 students.

Desks:

These desks/tables are the business! There are two seats per desk/table but only one LSAT student was assigned per table, which was perfect. The desk had a flat surface, which was exciting because I’ve taken practice tests with desks/tables that did not have flat surfaces. Not the business.

Left-handed accommodation:

Since the desks are flat tables that seat two and you get it all to yourself, I imagine you would be perfectly comfortable with this set-up.

Noise levels:

Not bad. The only thing semi-abnormal was that we started section 1 before the room next to us finished hearing their formal instructions so we could somewhat hear noise from that direction. It was fairly silent throughout the rest of the test. One of the proctors left once or twice and I was seated by the door but that was not a big deal at all, especially since I had to get used to Mr. Sniffles next to me. Overall, I’m very happy that there was no parade outside, construction project, children’s soccer game, university football game (there is no university close by), or even an ambulance passing by that I heard, which is surprising for downtown Sacramento. This may be in part due to the lack of windows in the room.

Parking:

There is parking at a neighboring law firm and also in the Safeway parking lot. There are signs at the Safeway parking lot stating that the parking is for customer use only but I did see many test takers park there without being towed. I didn’t want to risk it so I got a ride to the test center. It makes the day a little less stressful so I’ll take any ounce of relief I can get!

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

I waited outside of the law school from 8:15-8:30am. Staff opened the doors at 8:30am, asked the students to stand in two single-filed lines, and they checked everyone in at the door. Each of the three testing rooms has a restroom so you could use it before the test starts. Our proctor was nice enough to have a last call for restroom breaks right before she got started with the formal LSAC instructions. No one expressed interest so we got started right away. Our group was the first group to start and end. I didn’t have a reliable watch indicating the time in the outside world (all of my watches are pre-set to 9 o’ clock) but I assume we got started around 8:45. This was way better timing than I had imagined so I was very happy about this.

Irregularities or mishaps:

Nothing concerning.

Other comments:

Overall, I’m very pleased with testing at this location and I would highly encourage anyone in the area to test at this location. I definitely expected a much more stressful experience at the test center but the staff and the small setting made test day the best possible experience.

Would you take the test here again?

Yes!

Date[s] of Exam[s]: September 24, 2016

Which PTs from 50 to 78 do you think are the hardest/toughest/most mentally/intellectually challenging? Would greatly appreciate your thoughts!

I always thought Sep Lsat was the last chance for anyone applying for the 2017 fall. But discussions here seem to suggest that I can still take Dec one and use that score?? Does that mean I'll be the last round of applicants and have a low shot of getting accepted by the admission board?

Thanks for your help!

Last December after a year of studying, I withdrew from the test because I knew I wasn’t ready. No problem. I re-dedicated myself to the curriculum and master the concepts that were my weaknesses. When I made that decision, I took my last full PT to provide a diagnostic for my future PT scores. Crazy, with no pressure and albeit a PT in the 30’s, I scored a 170, a score I had never seen other than BR scores. That score gave me the biggest incentive to really delve deep to master the concepts of the LSAT before I took another PT. I was fortunate to take advantage of every moment 7Sage provided for Webinars/ Office Hours/Forum Advice to really understand the LSAT leading up to the June test date. Once again, thanks to Nicole’s advice that I wasn't ready, I withdrew again.

Recognizing the value of the BR calls and trying to accommodate a chaotic personal life, this summer I did just the LR’s to attend the calls for a few weeks. Then, I was stuck with a problem – I hadn’t taken the RC or LG for those tests and had no way to build analytics by entering a full PT nor did I have any idea where I stood in actual PT scores. This is where I got creative. For every new PT LR’s that I was taking for BR calls, I would take the previous PT’s LG & RC. I had already created a cover sheet for all my PT’s for a Global view so I just filled in the sections as I took them and never scored a PT in its entirety.

I gauged my progress within each section not a PT score. When evaluating a section, I broke it down by strengths and focused on my weaknesses drilling them in between tests. Not being able to focus on a PT score I hope really helped me to not get caught in the highs and lows of normal PT experiences. When I sucked at a section, it was easier to tackle specific issues than a mountain of a PT score to try to figure out what went wrong.

Over the past year, I sincerely worked my butt off working on building an internal clock on LR, skipping strategies for all sections and to make the most of my dreaded RC inability. But, I knew my weaknesses going into Saturday and I came out of the test site with a smile – not because I crushed it and no way to know if I tanked it until scores are released – but it was fun to get into a zone where I knew the questions that I probably missed but I felt very confident in the questions that would have caused panic not only in June but especially last December.

All the Best, T

Proctors:

We had three, older, women proctors. We started out with two, and there must have been an extra proctor floating around the building because while the directions were being read, two women came into the room—one announcing she had another proctor for us and showed the third proctor into the room.

I was not a fan of these proctors at all. While they were cheerful and tried to be careful with assigned seating, that's about where their good professional aspects end. They were incredibly disorganized and they were the sole cause of all the distractions during the administration of the test. I'll go in more detail under "irregularities."

Facilities:

The facilities were nice and decently clean. Once you were in the building where the test was administered, there was plenty of signage directing you to your assigned room. And at every hallway junction, there was a proctor or some other staff member with a clipboard with room assignments who was able to direct you to where you were supposed to go. I and others found that very helpful. However, it was unclear when you walked into the building if you were supposed to check in before you go to your classroom, or if you check in for the first and only time upon entering the room. I think that would be helpful information for the LSAC to include on the admission tickets.

The hallways were crowded with everyone waiting to get into their rooms, but once you were in, the classrooms were clean and an adequate temperature. The bathrooms were convenient, but could have been cleaner. I think I saw vending machines with food and drinks on the first floor, which is nice if you forgot to bring a snack.

What kind of room:

We were in a fairly large classroom, but it felt comfortable. It was big enough to accommodate everybody but also not an auditorium. It was all level (there were no stairs within the room) and the room temperature was neither too hot nor too cold. There was adequate light—all fluorescent and no windows— and there was a clock in the back of the room, so definitely bring a watch if you test here.

How many in the room:

At least 100, possibly 125, plus the three proctors. There were 10–15 rows that were 10–15 desks deep. Not every chair was filled, but most of them were. It definitely didn't feel like there were that many people in the room though. For the most part, everyone was quiet and respectful, and the layout of the room made it feel smaller/more intimate than it actually was. We had assigned seats, which slowed us down in getting started, but otherwise, I didn't mind.

Desks:

The desks were what you would typically find in any high school classroom—hard metal/plexiglass-plastic-type desks with the basket underneath the seat and desk top attached to the chair on the right-hand side. They didn't flip up like you might find in a lot of college/some high school classrooms. The actual work surface was smaller than I would have liked—I almost pushed my extra pencils off and almost dropped my answer sheet a couple times—but it wasn't too small. If you didn't have your pencils vertically aligned on your desk they would roll off, which was annoying. The desks were clean and seemed fairly new. They were stable and didn't rock. I was in the front row, but it seemed like some of the desks behind me were not spaced out very well and if you had someone in front of you who leaned back during the test, they definitely would have been over your work space, which I'm sure would have been annoying and distracting.

Left-handed accommodation:

I wasn't aware of anyone who was left-handed in the room, but I also did not see left-handed desks, so I imagine if there were any left-handed test takers, it is unlikely they were accommodated.

Noise levels:

Minimal. Thankfully! The walls were thick, plus it's a small community college, so there was no noise coming from outside in the halls. The lack of windows prevented any noise/distractions from outside as well. Almost everyone taking the test was very considerate and did their best to be silent. No beeping watches. Hardly any sniffling/coughing. The only noise was from the proctors, which I'll get to in the irregularities.

Parking:

There was PLENTY of free parking, which was great. And it was a short walk to the building where we took the test. However, I am very glad I read my admission ticket carefully and examined Google Maps and a campus map in the week before the test because there was NO signage indicating where to park or how to get to the correct building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

We definitely did not start on time. There were lines outside of all the classroom doors past 9 a.m. The proctors didn't start letting people into the rooms until just before 9 a.m. They checked each person's ID and ticket and directed them to their assigned seat. As you might imagine, the assigned seating slowed us down. I didn't have my watch set for the actual time (rather, I had the hour hand set at 7 to help me better visualize how much time I had left during the test), so I'm not sure what time we actually started, but we did not leave the testing room until 2 p.m. and our break was 11:35–11:50 a.m. I guess through deduction, we started around 10 a.m.

There were two students who showed up 20 minutes late, which is puzzling, but that certainly didn't help us get started on time since they had to be directed to their assigned seats and the proctors had already put the seating chart away.

Irregularities or mishaps:

Yikes. Where do I begin? I'm sure this isn't the worst horror story you'll read, but it definitely wasn't pleasant. I have no complaints about the actual facility or other test takers, only the proctors.

First, we were assigned seats in the classroom, which I assumed was to help the proctors stay organized when collecting books, answer sheets, IDs, and tickets. If that was the reason, it failed spectacularly. One proctor was in charge of reading the directions while the other two collected IDs and tickets. The two collecting IDs and tickets, did so with no methodology that would allow them to quickly and easily hand them back out when it was time. This came back to haunt them immediately because they collected our tickets while the head proctor was reading us the directions to fill out our biographical information on the answer sheet—which includes filling out your LSAC account number. All the tickets had been collected before we got to that part, so at least 20 minutes was wasted while the proctors had to hand the tickets back out because no one knew their account number. And then re-collect them. I'm assuming in an attempt to try to make up for that lost time, the head proctor asked us approximately every 15 seconds if we were done filling out the answer sheets, when clearly, we weren't. But, I was willing to look past these minor annoyances figuring I was just being Type-A and overly critical.

The head proctor struggled to read the directions coherently, so I'm glad I had listened to them with 7sage a couple times before the actual test. And once we got started, the proctor distractions continued. During one section, the head proctor was tearing pages out of something—and not doing so quietly. This went on for several minutes at multiple times throughout the section. Additionally, one of the other proctor's phone kept vibrating. I doubt that the people in the back of the room could hear it, but since I was right up front, it was distracting for me. Later in the exam, her phone even audibly rang. It made it all the way through to voicemail before the proctor was able to get to her phone to turn it off. It then made another audible noise indicating a voicemail or other message.

When it was time for the break, the proctors struggled to pass out our IDs in a timely fashion (again suffering from the disorganization). Not even half of the test-takers had their IDs back when the head proctor announced the time we had to be back from break, and reminded us not to leave before we had our IDs. I and a couple other test takers made sure she wasn't going to hold us to the time she originally announced because half of us didn't have our IDs yet, so we couldn't leave and therefore wouldn't get the full 15-minute break. She did end up conceding and waited to start the break when everyone had their IDs in-hand.

When we returned, the proctors again struggled to pass our test booklets and answer sheets out in a timely and organized manner after having not collected them in a way that would facilitate that happening.

Lastly, during the second half-of the exam, the head proctor announced we only had five minutes left in the section we were working on. She was incorrect—we had 15 minutes left. This prompted me and one other test taker to rebut that we should have 15 minutes left. The proctor didn't understand at first and then called the other test taker up to the front and then out into the hall. When she re-entered, she announced to the room she was wrong and we had 15 minutes left (at that point it was more like 12). But that was an incredible distraction and it took me a minute to get my stress level back in check after panicking for thinking I had not well-managed my time.

Other comments:

I ended up writing to the LSAC to complain about the proctors.

Would you take the test here again?

I am taking the test there again in December in an attempt to reduce nerves. Having a sense of familiarity will be helpful for me, but I am crossing my fingers that they have some better proctors. Otherwise, I would be indifferent about taking the LSAT there again.

Date[s] of Exam[s]:

Sept 24., 2016

Proctors: Super strict, fair, but fast between sections (no time to reset watch)

Facilities: Just one bathroom

What kind of room: Small, dilapidated (a little), way too close to a major street

How many in the room: 20 for our test

Desks: Tables with 2 chairs per table. Annoying texture on the tables made bubbling and essay writing a pain.

Left-handed accommodation: Sort of. They put left-handed on the left side of the table.

Noise levels: Not great but not bad. REALLY BAD for us because they were jack hammering right next to the building during our test but under "normal" conditions I think it would be okay.

Parking: None. Horrible. Have to find parking along residential streets or farther away.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Arrived early (8:05) for 8:30 report deadline. Started probably around 9:30.

Irregularities or mishaps: JACK HAMMERING!!!!!!!!!!!, the fallout from jack hammering, and a few others that were less egregious. Yikes...

I just took the September LSAT. I do not think I hit my target, and will probably be gearing up for a retake come December. However, can I start the application process without having to submit my September score?

How does this work?

was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what the difference is usually between the overall curve for the sabbath observer test and the saturday one, if any? Sabbath observer tests are disclosed so hard to tell but if anyone has any estimates about how many they got wrong and what score they ended up getting, or how they did on practice tests vs. the day of if it was a monday test?

What are the pros/cons?

Hi everyone! I'm planning on taking the LSAT for the first time this December, and really am hoping to make that my one shot. I have been studying on and off (but mostly on) since February, using The LSAT Trainer and the various Powerscore Bibles + Workbooks, and I took many, many practice tests as well without blind reviewing them. Obviously, I now know from 7Sage that I shouldn't have done the last part. So, I'm fully familiar with the various types of LR problems, and am pretty good on the types of games. 7Sage is supplementing my preexisting knowledge of the LSAT.

My question is, for those of you who studied a lot using other methods/materials and varying schedules before starting 7Sage, how did you adjust to the new schedule? Are there specific sections or methods that 7Sage does best that you'd recommend focusing on? I'm worried because I just started the 7Sage course and while the lessons are useful, I feel like I'm not going to make any progress if I just watch the videos, especially given that the test is not that far away. I also feel worried not doing full timed practice problem sets, which are obviously one of the best ways to improve.

I am thinking of studying with 7Sage videos on my weak areas (games, specific types of LR problems, etc.) and using the Manhattan LSAT to drill problems by type, in addition to taking 1-2 PTs a week. Is it okay if I just skim or even skip some of the lessons if I'm already fully confident with the material?

Help me out here. Thanks :)

I have been solidly going through all the LSAT games and working on them. Generally, for the older weird games, I've been skipping them. However, as has been the case, I'm worried the LSAT is beginning to bring in more of the odd and weird games out. I looked at the Sept. LSAT discussion thread and saw something about a "Computer Virus" game which people found really difficult. Not sure if it was because it was just a ridiculously difficult game or it was such an odd format people were caught off guard. I'm worried I should be now spending a lot more time focusing on the weird old games than I originally thought.

By weird games, I mean ones that use spacial reasoning or sort of odd scenarios. The chemical experiment one from LSAT 12 or the last game in LSAT 13 are good examples of what I mean by "odd."

Thoughts?

I can't find the link to BR Calendar for the online study groups Wednesday evenings. Does anyone have the link? I'd like to do the PT that's scheduled this week
