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?

I contemplated all day and finally did what my heart told me to do and not what my ego has been telling me...Withdraw...You're not ready. Almost ready = not ready. Period. Any illusions and delusions I had about pulling a urban legend miracle on test day needed to be shattered. It was really painful to withdraw but I'm so glad I did.

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

LR

I had 3 LR sections; two of them had 26 questions and one of them had 25. In my experience that means that one of the sections with 26 questions was experimental. Can anybody who only had 2 LR confirm that one section had 25 and the other had 26?

One of my LR sections with 26 questions had its very first question regarding loggerhead turtles. Trying to figure out if that was real or experimental. Can anyone recall if they had that question?

Thanks!

For those taking the exam tomorrow, you are going to own it. Know you will own it. Be confident; approach every question with the mindset of "I will get this question correct." Trust yourself.

Tonight, relax. Go see a movie; get a good nights sleep. Tomorrow night, celebrate.

So I'm sitting for tomorrow, and looked at my ticket. I saw on the LSAC site that the photo must fill the 2x2 box. By looking at my picture, my photo fills the box 2 inches vertically, but only and inch and a half vertically. Is this something to lose my shit about????

UC Berkeley application resume description - "The resume may be of any length and should provide chronological information about your work experiences, *travels*, and accomplishments".

Travels? Do they really want a bulletpoint list of the countries I've travelled to? or some sort of story about how traveling broadened my horizons o.O

This specific professor is my second referee for my OLSAS (I haven't added him yet). Almost 10 years ago, he had a little problem with the government in Canada at the time (no charges) and this can be found when typing his name into a google search. I know he is going to write me a great LOR, but I'm wondering if having him as my referee will hurt me in any way? Do law schools look into the referees? I'm not sure what to think of this situation.

I have a few questions for the regular BR folks. I think I need to implement these BR calls into my studies if only to keep me on track with PT. I've only attended maybe 2 calls because I didn't feel like I was benefiting. Not that the group is useless, it's just that I was having a hard time following I guess. I'll explain because that didn't even may sense as I was typing it. When I complete the test I come to the BR session with the questions that I've circled and still had issues with during my own BR. This is where my issue begins. When going over my question with the group I have no idea what or why I was thinking what I was thinking during the PT or BR. Going over the stimulus and AC seem rushed because you can't hold up everybody for 5 mins on your question especially if you're the only one with an issue on that question. Eventually someone tells you why the right AC is right, but I'm not able to digest that at that moment. Yes I could write down why I chose my AC and read that during the session but I just have a hard time truly comprehending the right and wrong AC when I don't really remember the stimulus. Does this sound similar for anyone else? What do the regulars do to prepare for BR calls?
