Hello! Just took the LSAT in Asia in and I had LR-LG-LR-RC-LR! The only questions I can remember clearly are about digital/paper mail, ancient masks made in Mexico, and detectives piecing together clues like crossword puzzles. I'm trying to figure out which questions came from which section! If you remember any others/what section they're from that would be super helpful!

On another note, my games section had a round table, and something about supervising art installations. My RC was women's rights, common law, chaos theory and athletics as art. THANKS!

So, for some background. I took the June test and did well but not the score I was looking for. I was planning on taking the test yesterday and the realized I wasn't done with my 7Sage course and wanted to be more consistent because I don't want to take it more than twice. I am curious if this has happened to anyone else. I seem to score higher on older tests (in the PT mid 50s and 60s). I know friends felt that yesterday's test was harder than the June test. Do we think maybe the LSAT test themselves are actually getting more difficult over time? I felt like I did much better on those older tests. I did score around the same when I took the June test again after the fact. I don't know though...thoughts anyone??

Hey Everyone!

I know there is a thread that has all the tutors on there, but I was wondering how up-to date it was? I know a lot of the tutors must be in law school by now, and I was wondering if they are still offering their tutoring services, or if new ones will be added?

I'm prepping for the December LSAT and would really like a tutor to help me with my weaknesses in LR (I have a list), and In-Out games in LG. And idk if tutoring in RC is even possible, but I know I need all of the help in the world for that section too lol

Thanks!

Anybody here took the LSAT yesterday at Brooklyn College?

I had 4 proctors and they were running around the front of the room and whispering to each other very loudly. In fact 3 of them were talking while the timekeeper was reading the instructions. The absolute lack of respect was appalling. I raised my hand hoping to let them know that the talking is very distracting, but they were so busy talking that not one of them saw me raising my hand (I was wearing a bright orange sweater). After I wasted a good minute or two trying to get their attention, I gave up.

Oh and they tried to give us the wrong (4-digit) test center code. I saved the day by pointing out that it is a 5-digit code which is on out ticket. But how is it that 4 proctors don't even have the correct information???

I had to leave and cancel my score because I completely lost focus on that RC section and with 10 mins left I only completed 1 passage, which is not how I have been performing at all. This would have been my third and final take so I am extremely disheartened. Even if I am allowed to take the test again in Dec, I wouldn't be able to apply early in the cycle in Oct, which was my intention.

I am drafting my formal complaint to LSAC and hoping to get another chance. Hoping to find others who were there that could support my claim.

So my proctor today said that LSAC had informed her that LSAT was going digital for the next June test. Said it could possibly be on a tablet. Also said they might allow a paper option for anyone who'd taken a previous paper test.

So, there's that.

BR vs. CC

My score is on the decline. I have not been able to study as much since fall undergrad semester started, and my score just keeps going down every week. I do not have time to BR and re-do the CC due to undergrad classes / being a parent. If you had to choose between spending more time blind reviewing, or spending time reviewing the lessons.... which would you choose? I'm taking the December test.

P.S. My declining test scores,I have blind reviewed all but the last one:

August16th, PT 78...157

August 21st, PT 37... 152

August 28th, PT 38... 154

Sept 3rd, PT 55... 151

Sept 12th, PT 60.... 151

Sept 18th, PT 59.... 145 !!

Sept 25th, PT 58... 146 !!

Rosenberg cannot evaluate any introductory textbook until Juarez has evaluated that textbook? I would have guessed it would have been "until" so group three, so you negate sufficient so it would be R (intro book)--> J (intro book) but it is actually J intro book -> R intro book. Could someone please explain this?

So I just took the September LSAT and have no idea how I did. But I'm sure I didn't get my target score (169) so do I wait for scores and then start studying again for December or continue studying now? Something just won't click with LR and I've heard of people taking breaks and coming back and it clicks so just wondering what to do here.

Hey, I just started the curriculum, is there a way to print out the Logical reasoning questions within the lessons? For example, JY goes over labeling and I would like to actually practice that by printing out the question instead of just seeing it on my computer screen. I don't have all the LSAT prep tests yet.

Thanks.

Summary: The perfect test center, at least this time around. To anyone in Cincinnati, Columbus, or even Indianapolis, or in any surrounding areas, I highly suggest you consider taking the test here. The university is situated in a town with a population of a few thousand, and the university itself has a student body of a few thousand. The campus is thus relatively small and quiet, and the building used as the test center is on the quiet end (the very end) of campus. I'm biased because the university is my alma mater, but the 2.5 hour drive to get there was more than worth it.

Setting Pros: The rooms were large, and with only maybe 15 test takers, we were all placed far apart from one another. There are no desks in the entire building, only long tables. The room we were in had especially long ones, which curved around the class and were divided into two sections, with a walkway in between them. The room was quiet with little to no background noise, lighting was good, and the entire building was absent anyone aside from test takers and the proctors. The bathrooms are ten seconds away from the testing room, and parking is free and more than plentiful. Parking spaces can be found on the side and back of the building, and the parking lot is immediately adjacent to the building. Chairs are padded and have nice backs to them, and given that I deal with chronic back pain, I'd like to think my perspective on the chairs is a telling one, haha. The inn is a two-minute drive from the testing center, and the drive is down the town's main road. The inn itself is nice - not many breakfast options, but I brought my own breakfast. During off times, 90-100% of the people staying at the inn are in their 60s, and the inn was thus very, very quiet.

Setting Cons: Usually, the rooms in the building have really good air conditioning, though it was noticeably warm on test day. This may have been the result of the recent heat wave that had just come in. I was wearing pants and a buttoned-down shirt and was fine enough, though I tend to get cold more than warm when indoors.

The building used for the testing center is a bit tucked away, though that's hardly saying much given the small size of the campus. I knew how to get there, of course, so I can only guess the degree of difficulty finding the building. I saw a few handmade signs that read "LSAT" along the town's main road and in campus, but I only noticed them after the test.

There's only one small inn in town, and it will be booked well in advance should there be any big events on campus. I was able to get a room a month out, though I don't think they had many rooms available. All other hotels are at least twenty minutes out, if not farther.

Proctor Pros: Both proctors were practically perfect. I heard them quickly and quietly whisper to one another three times during the entire test, and even then, it was basically undetectable. Time was held to a tee. The proctors were nice, patient, and not overbearing. I had a proctor walk by me maybe two or three times during the test.

Proctor Cons: The proctors quietly whispered a total of maybe ten words to each other the entire test.

Hello,

So I have applied for accommodations, but I did not explain why I do not have previous records or papers in the statement because there was not enough space to put it.

Can I send an email to them to explain it now? It's about a week, but I have not received their decisions yet.

Or should I wait for decision and if I'm denied or asked to submit additional documents, then send emails and explain it?

Is there anyone sent emails to add information to your statements?

Once it's denied, would it be difficult to acquire the accommodations even though we submit additional statements or documents?

Thanks,

Hello all,

I am an accommodated test taker, and my test has been scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday) instead of today (Saturday). I was wondering if anyone had insight regarding whether I will receive the same exam that was administered today, or if I will receive a totally different test. Thanks in advance for any information.

SOB. I knew I had seen something close to it.

TBH I'm not even mad you can only remember so much on test day. Damn that sucks though. Someone out there has done this game and recalled it today on the test and was rewarded for their hard work. Mad props if that's you.

This game has 5 questions and a target time of ~10 minutes so with two additional questions we could be in 12+ target time territory. Too soon to say though as I think something was hidden that made this game easy. Excited to see how to go about solving it

Ah im pissed though...damn

Anyone know if some accommodated test takers who take it several days or so after the real one are given the same test? I heard from a friend who tutors that one of her students took it a week later in June because of accommodations and had the same test, which seems kind of weird to me. Just curious if that is one of the reasons for the code of silence pertaining to talking about specifics.

In @Pacifico's attacking the logic games strategy post he mentions that 7Sage has formatted the older logic games into the current 2 pages per game layout so they can be printed off and worked just like the current tests. Is this still available?

Break Time

If you have retaken or know you're gonna have to retake, what kind of study break/schedule do you guys take between test day and the score release date and then between score release date and the next test date?

7sagers! I'm an old-timer from the bygone days. Just wanted to say hello and wish you all the very best on tomorrow's "PT". Remember! Don't make it more than it is. All of your conditioning and rigorous mental preparation will reap glorious benefits.

I remember the good ole days when I thought the LSAT was all around me.

Here's proof!

Anyways. Good Luck! <3

Not sure if this question is from the experimental section or not:

It was something like a socioculturalist talking about telephones, television, and mass media don't think critically and something about only protection from political degogaumetes (no effin clue) is critical thinking and it was a could be true EXCEPT
