Hi guys,

Have you guys tried printing out the admission ticket to see how your LSAT photo looked? The photo I uploaded on the site met the requirements, but when I printed it out with my black and white printer,the photo quality came out somewhat grainy. It's still clear enough to discern my identity but not as sharp as I would like. Is this an issue that you guys came across with? Should I just try using a better printer to be safe? LSAC said as long as the picture clearly indicates my identity I would be fine.

After looking at the previous threads and realizing they were outdated, I want to know if this upcoming LSAT will resemble the single-serve PTs in the 70s, except with 5 sections instead of 4?

So, staples along the left, probably lacking the explanations of the LSAT in the front, 5 sections, writing sample, no answer sheet at the back, duh.

I've reached the point where I consistently score -0/-1 (-1 is usually due to carelessness, if anything) on LG. How do people suggest I shift my attention more to LR and RC without faltering on LG? (FYI, I have been mainly doing older LGs, like in the 30s-40s. When do they get more 'mainstream', i.e. less experimental?)

Do I PT and add LR/RC as my fifth and/or sixth sections? Should I drill? Is it advisable for me to do 4 or 5 of the same sections in one go (with a break in between)? Should I be focusing on LG in addition to the sections I do during PTs? Any other ideas?

I'm studying for the September LSATs with a full-time job. Any thoughts on cutting out alcohol entirely. Do people think casually drinking negatively impacts our ability to retain information? I'm talking about drinking on the weekends (getting drunk max once) and maybe a beer or a glass or two of wine on a weekday.

I'm thinking about cutting it out entirely but it helps a lot to relax and lower anxiety. Any one else contemplating this?

Does anyone know what the equivalent of number 2 pencils are in the UK? I've been googling, and some websites say HB while others say 2B!

To my surprise, I see many people here have actually taken the LSAT thrice. This will be my case but it sort of made me nervous because I was told after the 2nd LSAT, schools begin to look disfavorably towards your application(?) thoughts?

I'm going to be traveling a lot this coming week, and I'd love to be able to study while on the plane. Is there any way to access course materials offline? I realize I could pay for WiFi access on the plane, but I'd rather save my money... I'm pretty broke at the moment. I know in previous years the answer has been no, but I was hoping some portion of the lessons might be available.

Greetings everyone I'm Monty. I attend Bethune Cookman University as Criminal Justice Major. Next semester will be my last semester as a junior I'm now trying to figure out how to overcome passing the LSAT with a good score .I recently start studying for the LSAT an have a few questions. How did most of you manage to study with distractions around you? Moreover, how long did you study or have you studied where you were confident to take the test ? I'm looking forward to hearing great responses.

Hi Guys,

I am currently concentrating on my LSAT studying shooting for higher than 170+ in Sept.

I have got a LL.M degree in law school in DC, majored in international business law. But I am a group study girl, I am good at organizing study groups, and I feel I concentrate more with friends encourage each other.

I am currently studying at the main NYLP, sometimes go to cafe to study. If you are studying lsat too, please feel free to contact me, we can review exam together, share LSAT knowledge and encourage each other together to boost our score.

Please send me PM, thanks.

Regards,

Joy

I thought it might be helpful for some to hear what types of breakfast foods & drinks people have found to be great choices for test day & maybe what types of snacks they brought for the break during the exam.

I think I had scrambled eggs, avocado toast & coffee when I took the exam before & half of a chicken sandwich, Apple, blueberries & vitamin water for the break. Not sure what I will do this time but probably something similar.

Hey Sages,

I finished the 7 sage curriculum and I'm in the PT/review portion of my LSAT. I've been reviewing each question and returning to the curriculum after each test to review the lessons on Flaw, Parallel Flaw, SA, NA but my scores are kind of all over the place:

PT 36: 163/ BR: 167

PT 37: 158: BR: 170

PT 38: 167/ BR: 174

PT 39: 161/ BR: 170

Any ideas as to what this is or what steps I can take to improve?

This will be my 3rd time taking the LSAT in the same testing center. The past two times the desks were extremely small. I am 5'7" mainly legs which do not fit comfortably under the desk. I have to extend them all the way or sit side ways to cross my legs. There isn't any room for my eraser and pencils, those have to be placed on my lap and I have to fold my test booklet vertically in half as it does not fit fully open. Not to mention all the times I my test booklet or desk hits the seat in front of me from moving it or adjusting myself. What can I do about this? Is there any way to request a bigger desk?! The LSAT is stressful enough. I hate to have the desk be an added factor.

It says on the admission ticket that I'm not allowed to contact LSAC test center supervisors for any reason. I've heard different things about my test center having those small, pull-out desks and I wanted to ask someone at the college if that'll be the case. Is this in violation of LSAC rules? From the wording on the ticket it seems so, but I've never heard of this before.

Hi guys,

I was reading through the rules on my admission ticket and apparently you aren't allowed to visit the testing room itself prior to the exam nor call the test center supervisors prior to the exam as well. Does thiis means that we can't call ahead to see if there are any ongoing construction projects or any noisy distractions on the day of the exam? How could they possibly enforce these two rules?

Any splitters in the house? (High LSAT/Low GPA)

or better yet, any splitter with a success story? :D

I've just begun preparing for the September 24th test by taking the June 2007 test yesterday and scored a 146 without any prior studying.

60% (30/50) Logical Reasoning

48% (13/27) Reading Comp.

39% (9/23) Games

First, I'm wondering how this stacks up against those that didn't study at all before taking this same test. Then, given my score breakdown, I'm curious as to which section I should show most attention to. Upon review of my test, I made some obvious mistakes - standard I'm sure - and I did horribly on reading comp. Reading Comprehension is typically a strong suit of mine, but I would also like some advice anyone is willing to give with regards to that section.

I live in Tallahassee, FL and will be taking a course with TestMasters that starts July 8th and will be doing self-study until then about 30 hours a week. What section should I be showing most attention to in the meantime, and what techniques should I be employing as I work? I have both PowerScore Bibles.

Thanks for any insight!

I find that I really really hate humanities passages ( and do poorly on them) and sometimes law passages but really really enjoy science passages. What do you guys do to remain focused on passage types that un interest you or just a boring passage in general? Is their anything I can read to improve my humanities section. Seems like with humanities I seem to have to re-read sentences a lot.

So I recently took PT 74 and scored a 168, which is my highest score ever! My goal is around a 165. However my last three PTs were a 162, 164, and a 166. I am a little concerned about taking June given my range in scores. Any advice?

I am going to be taking my last PT this weekend, most likely 75.

I finished curriculum and have been taking Pts in the high 60's and 70's.

I've been missing 10 on the LR sections!! When I blind review I do much better and when I see the answers it all makes sense. Some I seem to be overthinking on. What should I do? The question types are

All over the board that I miss. Should I just re-watch all LR sections?

I remember seeing somewhere that you need to look like the photo you submitted of yourself on test day (obviously), but does that mean I can't get like a new hairstyle? My hairs kinda long and I've gotten the urge to cut it more and more as summer has come rolling in, but now I'm hesitant to do so..

I currently work at a law firm as an assistant and have got the go ahead from my boss to study when I am not busy at work (other than my lunch hour).

Most of my free time has been spent researching schools, personal statements, tips, etc. but I'm hoping I can get some studying in as well. I am currently only using 7sage. I have tried to put my headphones in and watch some videos but find I can't absorb anything.

I thought about bringing one of my many LSAT prep books but should I be mixing 7sage and say for instance, Kaplan? Any recommendations for other brands which have similar teaching methods to 7sage?

For those of you who have full-time jobs, do you study while you are at work? Any tips?

I'm planning to write for September 2016. I have 2 jobs so I work about 55 hours a week. I've just started studying 20 hours a week. I've been studying off and on for the last couple years but finally decided to take the plunge and write.

Thanks in advance!

On the LSAT can you tear the answer sheet out, or does it have to stay in the question book?

I am in a range that I was hoping for but I am clearly going to have a long road ahead of me but I am not discouraged I was really worried I would score a 120. I haven't taken a test like this in 10 years or ever really. Here are some things I noticed by time the last section came into play, I was starting to glass over... now that could be because it is late... but I am thinking it is simply because that test is HARD and my mind started wandering... I am hoping this was common for everyone on their diagnostic. Will training & studying help? I mean did it help you guys to take PT after PT... I am pretty sure I missed 5-6 questions at the end because I started to check out plus it was reading comp and wowza that was a lot of reading.

Second according to my results I really struggled with parallel reasoning & method of argument... and of course logic games. I am hoping this gets easier with drilling. Any tips or is drilling where I need to focus.

I got in the 140s, the school I am hoping to get into I need about a 157 or greater (for the part time program) while I would love to score a 170 because uhhh that would be awesome I am trying to get in the 160-169 range, which I think is feasible. I hope.

Well thanks everyone for your help today! I am sure I will ask a million and one questions between now and test day so thx again.

So, I've been studying for the LSAT for exactly a year. I've taken almost 50 practice tests during that time. For the past 2 months, I've been taking 2-3 practice tests a week and BRing them (with a one week break during that time). I've never gotten past a 171 on a first take, and a 177 on a retake. I guess I am exhausted and frustrated. I

I'm at a point where I'm not sure if it would be more effective to take a brief break or to continue grinding. My planned study schedule is the following:

today - finish BR of PT 65, drill RC

tomorrow - PT 72

Thursday - BR, drill RC

Friday - PT 67 retake

Saturday - off

Sunday - BR, drill RC

Monday - PT 76 retake

Tuesday - BR, drill RC

Wednesday - PT 75 retake

Thursday - BR, drill RC

Friday - off

Saturday - lightly drill PT 74

Sunday - lightly drill PT 74

I'm tempted to take the rest of today off, and do a retake tomorrow to boost my confidence instead of PT 72 (since I've heard this is an especially difficult LSAT). Thoughts?

I did want a 180, but I don't know how feasible that is or if I'm capable of making a breakthrough within the next few days. Right now I just want to be able to score in the 170s for the real thing and avoid having to do a retake.

Hi guys, I wanted to start in the games section first, because of my low score, but don't want to miss any fundamentals which could later apply to LG. Which main sections should I do before moving into INTRO to logic games?
