This might be a dumb question, but at least one with a quick answer! Do we get to use five sheets of scratch paper front and back for the August 2021 test administration? Might we be allowed more because it's four sections and not three?

Hi all!

Thanks for showing up to Free Live Class Day on Monday and our Proctored PT last Saturday! If you missed it, or if you're ready for more practice taking a full LSAT Prep Test under simulated online proctor conditions, you're in the right place. The next Proctored PT will take place on Saturday January 27 at 1:00 PM.

Looking forward to the Blind Review sessions on Monday for PT 72. Anyone can access the recordings for our January 23rd classes Blind Reviewing PT 73 here: LR and RC! We covered the group's flagged questions in LR––the crowd had a bone to pick with Flaw and Assumption questions. Getting to the bottom of the meaning and structure for Passage 2 and 4 in the RC section was a journey. If you wanted to see what Cameron's "fancy-subject" photos actually look like, here you go! They are kinda depressing after all.

Here's how our Proctored PTs work:

  • Register by clicking the blue ‘Register’ button on this page.
  • Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from Zoom with the link to join the meeting.

    Select a PT that you want to take for the proctored test. This week's recommended PT is test 72; you're encouraged to attend the associated Blind Review sessions on Monday! (LR Review | RC Review). You can take the PT through 7Sage, or- if you want to simulate real test-day conditions- you can log into LawHub and take it there.

    Show up to the Zoom meeting 10 minutes before the scheduled start time (12:50 PM ET). You will all be prompted to complete a room scan (similar to the test-day security measures) at the same time and then put into a breakout room by yourself to complete the test.

    Simulate the test! Our 7Sage Proctors will monitor the testing process for the duration of your test and even simulate a pesky interruption. The Proctor will ask if anyone would like to be interrupted at the beginning of the session, and you will have the chance to indicate your preference. If only the Prometric proctors would be so kind as to ask! If you have any approved accommodations, please let us know via private chat at the beginning of the session as well––you will be able to test with those.

    If you have any questions, please email bailey.luber@7sage.com. We hope to see you there!

    Hi, sagers. When I took the digital LSAT in July, we weren't given stylus pens, so I wrote a note to LSAC and they agreed to send their own note to any school I apply to saying the test center made a mistake, and I felt good about that because I did end up canceling my score. But yesterday, we started 2 hours after the ticket time (how much is reasonable to expect? 2 hours seems excessive and it did make me a ton more anxious) and then had a false start: The director said, "OK, we will now begin the tutorial. Please press start." We pressed start and the real test began! So we lost about 30 seconds because people were yelling, "Wait, this is the real test! Stop it! Start it over!" and whatnot. There was also an incessant squeaking/beeping noise in the room near my desk, which I mentioned to administrators, but they couldn't figure out what was causing it. So at the end, one of the administrators told me that they will be sending a note to LSAC about the delay and the false start. He also told said they'd send another note that I specifically was distracted by a noise they couldn't stop. My question is, do I follow that up with another complaint e-mail to LSAC today or do I just leave it alone? I wouldn't want admissions people to think I'm a "problem test taker" or a complainer! But I do think there's a discrepancy between the test experience I've anticipated and paid money for and the actual experience I've had. Thank you for reading and pretty please advise if you have an informed opinion on this! #help

    Hi everyone,

    I wonder if anyone has experienced the loading errors after launching LSAT Writing in PSI secure browser. I've tried for two weeks and yet not been able to even take the ID photo. I've also tried to reset my computer and the eligibility but it remains the same.

    Most unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with the 24/7 technical support line from China. And the LASC representatives only operate during normal business hour in ET. :( Even if they do, I have to wait up to 20min to get through. The email gets no reply either. I literally has sought all possible means /sad/tired/frustrated. Since I urgently need the April score, any of your advice/experiences would be appreciated. Thank you!!

    I am looking for a group of individuals who would like to work together during the blind review process. I attend Fordham University and I can get us a small study room with a white board and everything else that is needed. Looking for a dedicated and serious bunch of people who are ready to kill the LSAT together!

    Hi my name is Mark, I'm the father of a cute 1 year old, married and I work full time in the Army. I'm asking for something really unlikely but hey it's worth a shot :) I'm looking for a tutor who can help me for free via the messaging system here on 7S or communicate through non-live chat, mainly due to my constantly changing military and family obligations. I'm PT'ing at about 160, BR'ing in the low 170's and I have an intense drive to hit that 170!! :D I wake up early to study before work, study over lunch, and I hit the library after work if my wife has a handle on the crazy 1 year old. I really want to go to Stanford or Harvard and I know I can do it!!! I just need a little help to get there.

    I'm taking the November LSAT but I plan on taking at least 2 more LSATs next spring and summer.

    Currently I need the most help with descriptive weakening, necessary assumption, parallel flawed method of reasoning, and most strongly supported. I totally suck at LG but I'm working through foolproofing and my RC is usually -7.

    Any tips / help is much appreciated and if someone is willing to help out or give tutoring a shot, I'd absolutely appreciate it. Thanks :)

    Hi. My name is Juan and I'm starting this new discussion in hopes of connecting with others that suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder and are taking the LSAT with accommodations. If there is anyone in the community that would like to share their experiences, tips or support on how to succeed on the LSAT while having this disorder, I and I'm sure many other will appreciate it. Thanks!

    I am at the point of my prep where I just jumped into the 160s and I'm starting to see it's more difficult to get large increases with each PT. Should I go back and redo some of my older tests/sections/drills to make sure I truly understand any answer I previously got wrong?

    For those who have paper-and-pencil accommodations...do the exams come stapled or as separately unattached pages? Can someone please briefly describe the process of this format without violating security policies? I am simply trying to get a feel for what to expect on test day as well as recreating test conditions as accurately as possible while taking PTs. Thank you for any information shared.

    I've finished the core curriculum in its entirety, and now I'm wondering how I should be splitting up my time while drilling.

    I'm aiming to take the June LSAT (the last current exam format that's offered for International test takers for this year) and so I only have about 2 months left.

    I'm wondering how best to split my time amongst the different sections. While of course I want to dedicate the majority of time to my weakest areas, I also don't want to just completely bench the other sections.

    Any advice how to best schedule studying, so that I maintain a solid exposure to each section?

    Thanks!

    Study Buddy

    Hello! I am looking for a study buddy that is committed to meeting at least two times per week. I am willing to study any section, but I would like to focus a good bit of time on Logic Games. I am taking the August LSAT. I can meet virtually. I can also meet in person under the right circumstances (i.e: public, covid friendly, and in the Philadelphia region). Please only respond if you can commit!

    Thank You

    Nadiyah!

    Fee waiver

    I have a LSAC fee waiver. How can I provide this information and what does it qualify me for? I'm new to your site, so I'm not certain where to ask these questions.

    I’ve been PTing in the low to mid 160s (I should add that I haven’t been PTing much, I’ve probably completed 4-5 in the last 3 months because I had just finish the CC and was focused on drilling). My PT last week was 162 (which was lower than my last) and 167 BR. I made a lot of silly mistakes on it such as missing an “except” in question stem and misreading a premise to say the opposite. Since then I’ve been really hammering my main areas of weakness and taking time to go over my thinking. Anyway, since I was bored at work today I decided to do an Untimed PT since I knew I’d be interrupted. I scored a 175 (UNTIMED**) and a 176 BR. I just really don’t know what I should take away from this. I know this isn’t reflective of my score for a timed test. I don’t have any issue with timing in that I always finish and have a few min left over to go back, but can I infer that it’s an issue of not being able to apply my deeper knowledge in a fast enough pace? I guess I’m asking what you guys would take away from this in terms of applying it to your studying and getting the score under timed conditions?

    I am getting very frustrated that many of the questions that I got wrong on preptest 156 do not have explanations, they only have the option to "discuss." Does anyone know why this is and where I can find explanations? Also does anyone know if there's a way I can know before taking a preptest that I will not have explanations for each questions? #help #feedback

    I've done the diagnostic and before using 7sage (and now realizing I shouldn't have) I did a few practice tests. I consistently did very well on the LR (-4 to -0) but need some work on the LG and RC. Part of that is because I took formal logic in college which helps a lot with LR. I also saw that the LR section was 120 hours of time where the other two are each 40. Because of this, I thought it was better to try to go through the other two sections of the course, and see how I'm doing on practice tests after that before seeing if I needed to do the LR section.

    But as I'm starting to go through the RC section of the course I'm seeing that there are a couple small references to the LR section. I wanted to see if it's worth going the entirety of the LR course section now or if there are a few specific parts of it that are relevant but not necessarily the entirety. Has anyone else been in a similar situation where they're good at LR but need to work on the other two? Would love any advice people have!
