Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about the updates LSAC has made to the LSAT test dates for October and November.

Along with the already announced test dates for October (October 13 and 14), LSAC has now added test sessions on October 15 and 16. LSAC also added more test dates to the November schedule. In addition to the previously set dates (November 10 and 11), there will now be test sessions on November 8 and 9.

The new test dates include both remote and in-person sessions, and this won't affect the score release date!

Hi everyone.

I have a quick question - I am incredibly bad at MBT and SA questions. When I come across them, I sort of freak out and try and figure out the logic in the stimulus and end up getting the question wrong and wasting a bunch of time. Does anyone have any tips at getting better at these? I've been trying to drill them for the last couple of days and I still can't figure out how to get the logic mapping done correctly nor quickly.

Hi All! Fairly silly question but I was wondering what exactly the test format looks like for the official LSAT. When doing practice questions you can chose between 7sage format or standard format - is the standard one comparable to the actual format on the test? I read somewhere that when you're taking the LSAT for RC that there's a function that allows you to search words in the passage is this true? Additionally if anyone with insights could tell me about the paper and pencil format of the test that would be super helpful too. Thanks!

You must be registered for an upcoming test in order to start the accommodations request process.

  • sign into your lsac
  • click the LSAT dropdown at the top and select "request or modify accomodations"
  • scroll down and hit "request accomodations"
  • You'll need to submit two forms: Candidate Form and a Qualified Professional Form

    You submit and wait to get an email. If you submit both forms it's very likely you'll be granted all accommodations you request.

    Hope this helps!

    So I just feel the desire to share something with you all. I have been in tears twice during work today, not because of whats been going wrong but what has gone shockingly, incredibly right. I have been studying since October saw substantial gains after the first month of taking practice tests then my score leveled off at 160 for over a month. I had been taking tests twice a week in preparation for the April test, but I rescheduled to June for obvious reasons and because my score wasnt close to my goal of 170. I took a week off of PT's and spent more time thoroughly studying my LR answers from the last test. I had fallen into a habit of lazy reviewing for sure, with all of your voices in the back of my head telling me I should be putting in more effort, writing out answer choice explanations. I gathered my thoughts before my PT yesterday and wrote out my approach for each section, interacting with the RC passages, skipping questions on LR, and taking a moment to consider how my rules interact for LG. I scored a freaking 167! I'm psyched, I'm shocked, and relieved that my potential is there. For me it was never a matter of if I had it in me, it was a matter of if I was going to follow through with what I needed to do to get there. If I have learned anything its that these victories are meant to be short lived, I need to keep pushing and making that score consistent before I make my goal of 3 more points. Having until June makes me extra confident I can do it. ALSO, long story short I have a bachelors degree in chemistry and have had a tough time since graduating two years ago, I have jumped between a few jobs and havent gotten above the position of a lab tech, which according to my degree I am over qualified for but the world is a cruel place. I am on a contract at my current company set to end in April with hopes of getting hired on, which is horrible timing considering the damn economy rn. BUT my managers decided they "didnt want to lose me" and hired me on the spot for a scientist position (definitely rushed considering the real possibility of a hiring freeze coming on). This week (this month for that matter) is a prime example of how anything can be flipped on its head. Keep working HARD. Always do the next right thing for you and be kind to everyone around you, you never know who is watching. Thanks all, carry on!

    Slogged on LSAT for a long time many years ago on PAPER and took it on paper. Had a tough time even on paper with 35 min time.

    I hear it's now changed to DIGITAL.

    Can't imagine how much worse it gets on DIGITAL.

    Those who have seen both and did 99% percentile score, how bad or good is the new format?

    Were you scoring the same on Paper vs Digital?

    I’m wondering if anyone else finds the estimated times for the lessons are way lower than the time they are spending? There are some lessons (most lessons) that say they should take 2-4 minutes to read and I spend easily 10 minutes reading them. I’m not worried about it because I think the time I’m taking to really understand the concepts and take notes will help me in the long run. That being said everything is taking me a LOT longer so my studying process will be longer.

    Do other people have this experience? Advice? Comments?

    Drilling methods

    I am retaking the LSAT in December and was wondering what everyone is doing for their drill work. I am basically going to drill full sections and review them and find out what my weaknesses are. Any advice?

    HELP WITH LSAT!!!!

    Hi everyone! I’m trying to find someone who has taken the LSAT near Vista CA who can meet up with my boyfriend Graham. (IN PERSON NOT ONLINE) His test is this Saturday January 26th. He needs help improving speed and accuracy at the same time. He gets all the answers with unlimited time but when timed he misses some and doesn’t finish all the questions. Please let me know if someone can help. PM me anytime! Thank you.

    Im finding that Im having trouble passing quizzes (as in getting the results that i desire) at the end of a given section. Im really good at solving the questions correctly while practicing- as in pausing the video before JY explains it so that i can figure out the answer myself. But for some reason during the quiz section, Im not as good. To remedy this, I was wondering that as Ive completed each section, that I should use the practice exams to practice out those specific types of questions and to look at the video explanation for each of those questions. Would anyone suggest this? Has anyone tried this in the past? Please help!

    Thanks.
