Could anyone please tell me if/when they are going to announce the August 2024 testing dates for International test-takers? I go to university in the US so I need to know so I can coordinate my flight plans if needed.

I don't see one for April, June, or August. Thanks :)

Hi - Just to clarify, are PT 101-158 real full length examples of what I can expect on the upcoming August LSAT?

I took one of the PTs on the LawHub site as my diagnostic, can I upload that score here instead of backfilling answers?

Hi,

One of my granted accommodations is to skip the ungraded, experimental section on the new LSAT. I've noticed there is no way to avoid taking the ungraded section when taking PTs, unlike the outgoing PTs. Why is this?

I am planning on taking the June LSAT, predominantly due to LG being my best section, but I am worried about getting to my goal score (minimum 169) due to heavy score fluctuations. Some days I reach 170 and then immediately drop to a 162. I am an undergraduate student currently and am trying to balance my coursework and job with studying for the LSAT, so I know stress has probably played a role with this, especially with weakening my test stamina. Still, these fluctuations are giving me anxiety considering how close it is to June and so any advice on how to start getting more consistent results and improve my timing would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi, I encountered a technical problem during my practice test. I had no time for a screenshot, but what happened was that the left-hand question stimulus was jittering, and the sentences were rearranging themselves. It happened only once, during 1 game in a single LG section. See below example to see what I mean.

One moment the stimulus would look like this:

No two films can be released

on the same date. The release schedule is

governed by...

And one second later, this would be rearranged to:

No two films can be released on the

same date. The release schedule is governed

by...

And so on & forth, making the stimulus extremely hard to read and making it a huge distraction throughout the entire game. I just want to make sure this doesn't happen again, so putting it here. Thanks in advance to the immensely helpful administrators!

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get some tips on what to expect for taking the exam remote. I am taking the April next week and want to make sure I don't run into any issues during my exam, so I would appreciate any advice on things to do before the exam in terms of setup. Thanks!

Using Preptest 48 as a reference, here's where I'm at

LR: -5

LG: -4

RC: -8

I put some more effort into RC drills since taking PT48, and I'm consistently getting 1 wrong per passage while sticking to an 8:30 time limit per passage (as an aside, part of the reason for the -8 was I took too long on the earlier passage, leaving me about 6.5 mins for the final passage. 3/8 misses came from there).

I'll put a little more work in RC to lock that consistency in, but I want to get thoughts on how I should spend my remaining week of LSAT prep. Assuming I'm consistently hitting -4 on RC, where should I devote the bulk of my remaining time?

I've taken on a new approach of drilling with the timer off so I can take time to understand each question and answer and start to recognize the patterns. The problem is sometimes it takes a while for me to understand a question, and I can be very far off from the target time. Will I get faster with more drilling? Doest anyone else take this approach? or is there a better approach

When I tell you this test is beyond discouraging. I’m trying so hard and feel like I can’t manage to master this test. I know I’m not dumb and capable of learning but this test is making me feel that way and feeling as if I can’t get into law school. This is like my 5th time taking it and I just don’t want to study this anymore.

Hey guys, just wondering when you guys do practice tests, do you usually do 3 section tests or 4 sections? I’m writing in April and June and not sure if I should always do 4 sections or alternate. Thank you in advance!

Hey everybody!

I'm sure many of you just got the email regarding the writing sample opening tomorrow. Does anybody have any thoughts, advice, etc. on completing this? I felt as though the email could have included a bit more information.

Specifically I am wondering how much time I should allot since it seems like we have to complete it in one go once we launch the session. Also, I am wondering how much of an impact overall this has on your test results considering it is not scored.

Any general advice from people who have completed this before would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance and good luck to everybody taking the test in less than 2 weeks!

Hi everyone, I am brand new to anything law related lol and studying for the LSATs. I am watching the videos according to the study schedule on here. I would like to know how I should start with the LSAT live teaching classes? Or should I watch all videos first before taking live classes? There are many to choose from, but which class should I take first to familiarize myself more with the LSATs for beginners? How can I find that class to start with?

God Bless, thanks!

Hi guys! I'm set to take the upcoming April exam and my goal is 175+.

Right now the diagnostics look okay, as I am consistently scoring above my goal - anywhere from 175 to 180.

But what worries me is how often it turns out to be that our actual scores are much, much lower than our practice exams. I was scoring around 168-9 last year, when I first took the exam, and fell 7 points on the real exam. Yes, a score to be proud of, but I was crushed.

Maybe it's pointless, but I'm just looking for some hope and reassurance that with some good work, my scores will turn out okay:) An additional question to not just the 175+ scorers but everyone here, what were some of the issues that caused you to get a much lower score than your practice exams? For myself: it was not realizing how much RC/LR performance can deteriorate when you're panicking:)

On full PTs, I scored a 178 and 179 in my PTs and then was scoring slightly lower at 173-176, but now I’ve scored 172 twice in a row. I can see I’m capable of that near perfect score, but now I am worried about the recent decline especially as I get close to the April test date.

For the entire time, I’ve been taking a full PT and blind reviewing on weekends and taking 1-2 sections on weekdays to take 2-3 tests a week.

Has anyone else experienced similar score declines and how did you combat them?

Not sure if this is just me, but it looks like there aren't any discussions under new PT questions now. But I know that these PTs aren't actually "new," but just mixed questions from old PTs. Is there a way to get these discussions from past PTs into these "new" PTs? Seeing people discuss questions is super helpful to me! #help

Thank you!

Hi everyone-

The room in which I am planning to take my LSAT has frosted on one wall covering the middle section, with clear glass on the top and bottom. Will this be acceptable for my remote LSAT?

Alternatively, does anyone know how I can take my test on an L-shaped desk, where one of the sides has a desktop computer?

Currently, I am leaving a lot of questions on the table during BR because of my overconfidence errors (I'm not flagging questions that I ultimately get wrong). How do you correct overconfidence errors? I feel like it's difficult because you don't even know that you're committing an overconfidence error (you think you understand the stimulus and the answer, so why would you question it?).

Because of this, I'm not seeing much of a score increase between my actual score and my BR score. Help!

Hi there, I cannot seem to figure out how to access and use the wrong answer journal in the review process after I've completed Blind Review. I'm not sure if this is a technical problem, or simply user error. Either way can someone help me out with this?

Thanks!

hi everyone! just wondering if anyone who has taken lsat with extra time or extended break accommodations can speak to if they were placed in a separate room with their own proctor? and if they had to check in with the test site prior to testing or if just being approved by lsac and showing up is enough. thank you!

hey everyone. wondering if anyone who has taken the test at a test site can tell me the exact materials we are given at a test site. I think i am seeing some varying info online so just trying to confirm if we are given pens or pencils and how many pieces of scrap paper we are given and if they are lined or blank. also just confirming we take the test on a desktop at the site. thanks in advance ! (i know this is super specific of me to ask ahha)

Hi! I saw that the Drills and PT pages have been updated with the old/new PT to account for the new LSAT format, but now I can't find the LG drills. Does anyone know where I can find them?

I have been taking about 1-2 practice test per week for the past few weeks, and my scores have plateaued around 161. I am take the April LSAT, and I have about 2 weeks until test day. Any tips to jump 3-4 more points? I have taken 11 prep test since I started studying, and plan to take 4 more before I test.

Scores:

2/6/24 159

2/18/24 159

2/28/24 162

3/8/24 161

3/21/24 161

3/26/24 160

Hello Everyone! I am 21 years old, but I file independently because I take care of 100% of my living. I am not married and don't have any kids. I'm not sure why LSAC automatically marks me as a dependent and requires my parents' tax information to receive the fee waiver. Does anyone know a way to bypass this? I'm guessing it is because of my age but it doesn't make sense that it automatically thinks everyone receives help from their parents. Thanks in advance!
