So sorry for the promptness - I guess it doesn't matter too much, but today is my last pt before october exam. should i take pt 89 or 83 as my last one?

And my tutor told me to not look at the score - as this can cause overestimation / overconfidence or anxiety / nerves depending on how I do ? my average right now is a 165.8-166. What do you guys think?

I'm retaking the LSAT in February and am looking for someone to meet with a few times to study with and talk through some of the material. I'm located in Waukesha area but am willing to travel to Madison or Milwaukee area, or perhaps other places to meet at least a few times. Please message me if you live in the area. Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking for study partners to review practice tests with, and go over hard questions?

Proctors: 4-5 women. One was very particular about not having water bottles on the desks for some reason. Don't think anyone got called out for taking too long. They actually seemed helpful when people had questions.

Facilities: 3rd floor of the law school

What kind of room: Med-Lg size lecture hall

How many in the room: ~100

Desks: More like big tables. Plenty of room for any papers. Lots of space between you and the person/people next to you.

Left-handed accommodation: Since they were tables it wasn't really an issue

Noise levels: Fine, didn't have any issues at all.

Parking: Had to pay but it was a couple blocks away and there was plenty of parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: ~2 hours

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: I think this is a great spot to take the test. Of all of the things I was worried about, none happened.

Would you take the test here again? Yes, actually I am in June.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: 12/2015

Hi all! I'm looking for some suggestions on structuring my study schedule for the upcoming September test.

A bit on my background:

I started studying around mid May on Khan Academy/LSAT Trainer. First diagnostic was 155, upped it to 161 a week later after actually learning how to do LGs. However, I felt super unstructured and wanted class-like direction so here I am! On my diagnostic here, I got a 157: -3 on LG (personal best, but abnormally good) -10 RC (100% accurate, my worst section), -5 & -9 on LR (little worse than normal)

My goal is 170+ and I learn the best by doing, which brings me to my issue:

On my current 7sage study schedule, I'll have to PT literally everyday for two months straight. Obviously I know the study schedule isn't the only right method, but I'm unsure when to start PT'ing regularly. I'd like to start soon and get through as many tests as possible. Should I touch on a module or two for each section to get some strategy, start PT'ing and then go through CC as normal? I know I have a limited amount of PTs so I don't want to waste them. Are there any modules you felt were the "fundamentals" of each section?

Additional question: I've found that I've been anticipating the the end of PTs because I'm looking for immediate gratification to see if my score improved. Is this an endurance thing that I'll stop over time or should I delay BR to the next day to curb this habit? I know BR should be done fresh but I'm concerned this habit is distracting me and causing me to rush.

Thanks so much!!

For example the LR Section Review live class says:

Do you want to cover logical reasoning questions and also timing strategy? If so, this is the class for you! Each week, we will review specific questions on a particular LR section before going through the questions. Check out the notes each week to try the section in advance before joining the class!

But where do you find those?

The proctor went a little fast for me. She kind of rushed the paper work in the beginning, and before the start of a section she would start the timer a little too fast for me to be able to let my brain catch up at the end of the section. The facilities were good, the room was relatively well lighted, the clock was within a distance where I could easily discern the time, and the tables which were long wooden ones in rows with 2 to 3 people each were relatively comfortable. There were about 40 people in the room. I did not see any left handed accommodation but of course that was also because they were just desks and you had room enough to lean to the left or right in order to take the test, whichever your comfortable with. Noise level was good and minimal. I got a ride there so I'm not too sure how the parking was like. It didn't take long for us to start the test after completing the initial paperwork. Less than 20 minutes. There was one mishap, which was during my break when one of the test takers in front of me was called outside with his test because he had been in possession with a digital watch which the proctor failed to notice despite the fact that it was on the table. I'm not sure I would want to take the test there again, it was too far and everything felt too rushed. Our group was the first to finish the test and things seemed slightly disorganized. I took the test there in December 2014.

Hi there!

Looking for others with advanced degrees studying for the June LSAT and aiming for 175+ and top 5 law schools. It'd be good to find other "non-traditional" applicants and keep each other motivated through this long process. Send me a private message. Thanks!

Proctors: Either the proctor could not read, or it was the first time she read the LSAT instructions.

Facilities: The restrooms are close by. The building is old but it has everything.

What kind of room: Big lecture room(s).

How many in the room: 100+

Desks: Well you have chairs with tablet arms. At lease enough space to put your answer sheet there. I spread the test booklet on my lap and put my watch on the chair next to mine.

Left-handed accommodation: Didn't pay attention but I would say no.

Noise levels: Minimum

Parking: Ample parking close to the building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: People were still arriving after 8:30 am. I would say we did not start till 10 am.

Irregularities or mishaps: I sat in the front row and the proctors whispered on and on during one section - in the end, I had to stop them.

Other comments: The test center is not at St. Johns Law school, but one of the main lecture hall in the university. Your LSAT instruction sheet will not reveal this till one week before the test. The proctors are not familiar with this test so they are lax about the procedure. You can bring your cell phones to the test center - they will just store the phones in a white plastic box. The bad thing is that one phone went off during the test...

Would you take the test here again? I was reassigned there (from Hofstra). I don't want to take it again at this place even though I got my highest score.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: 2015 Dec

Looking for a study buddy in Shanghai that is also planning to take the June exam. Send me a private msg!

We have three people showing up at an upcoming study session at Gangnam on Wednesday, July 9 from 8:00 pm-11:00 pm. One member has an official score of 172 and the other member is scoring in mid-150s. We are looking to hit at least 175+ on the LSAT. The fee for using a study cafe meeting room is only 1,900 KRW per person for each hour. We do not make a profit out of this study session. Please send me a direct message if you are interested in joining the study next week.

Proctors: There were 2, and they were very fast and quiet throughout testing.

Facilities: Very nice and clean

What kind of room: Small classroom, not a lecture room

How many in the room: About 20

Desks: Very nice, all separate desks with a push in chair

Left-handed accommodation: yes, but it wasn't needed, all desks were separate

Noise levels: Quiet other than many people got up for a bathroom break and came back just in the first 3 sections, and you could hear the other classrooms reading their instructions

Parking: Very good, no real trouble finding a spot

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Test did not start until about 10, a lot of people to assign to classrooms

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: Pretty good testing experience, proctors were quiet, nice, professional, and considerate

Would you take the test here again? Absolutely

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 2011

Proctors: There were 3 in my room and they seemed a little unsure of the rules. They took it seriously, though.

Facilities: Clean, nice, desks were a little small (when I took the test at another facility there were tables with 2 people per), but all in all its a nice college campus.

What kind of room: Typical college classroom. Lots of chair/desk combos, but the classroom was also quite large. Maybe sat 40 people?

How many in the room: I'd say around 40

Desks: uncomfortable (hard) and just a little too small chair/desk combo

Left-handed accommodation: don't know

Noise levels: the environment itself was quiet, but one girl had a coughing fit, a guy up and left in the middle and made a considerable amount of noise. You'll get that anywhere though.

Parking: Plenty of it! It's a college campus, and there are a couple of parking lots attached to the building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Between sign in (which was done inside the classroom, unlike my last experience where you signed in and then were walked back to a classroom) and test start it took about 20 minutes.

Irregularities or mishaps: A couple noisy things, but mostly pleasant.

Other comments: It's a nice campus, and I think I prefer the classroom setting due to familiarity.

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Feb 2016

They did release 'new' PTs that turned out to be reused versions of the old PTs, without the LG sections. I'm planning to take lsat before August so I'm mainly looking for 'actual' new PTs after the 2020s, there must be a pretty sizeable amount they've saved up so far + these old PTs have LG sections in them which probably are going to be abandoned altogether with the new system. Does anyone think they'll be releasing them anytime soon?

These numbers are hardly moving. Granted, I have been on here for less than two months, but for some reason each time I log in and see this I feel discouraged and hopeless. Any suggestions?

ps. I plan to take July 23 test

Proctors: Three per room. All were quiet and respectful. They announced 5 minute warnings and followed directions to a T.

Facilities: Well lit, clock in room, comfortable temperature.

What kind of room: ~50 person classroom

How many in the room: about 30

Desks: Small desks, only hold one sheet of paper. Each person had two desks--one for their booklet and one for extra pencils, ID, tissues, etc.

Noise levels: Quiet, aside from people dropping test booklets off of the small desks (happened about 10 times throughout)

Parking: Parking garage on campus; street parking is difficult

Time elapsed from arrival to test: about 40 minutes

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Would you take the test here again? Yes, but I would still have preferred to find a DC center with full-sized desks.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Oct 2015

Proctors: Two proctors. Relaxed but very helpful and kept things moving smoothly.

Facilities: Felt like a high school. Clean, maintained.

What kind of room: Small classroom

How many in the room: 10

Desks:Each person was sat alone at a two person table

Left-handed accommodation: Available

Noise levels: Low

Parking: Available and fairly easy to find.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 20 minutes

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: NA

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: June 8, 2015

Proctors: I believe there were four total. The main guy who called time each section called it 30 seconds early in one section.

Facilities: Nothing special. Howard's campus is old and not very nice or updated, but the bathrooms are fine. *See heater comment below*

What kind of room: Large auditorium

How many in the room: Maybe 100-130? There were other rooms people went to, though I'm not sure if they were also auditoriums or small lecture halls/rooms.

Desks: Seats are narrow with tiny (and I mean TINY) flip desks, about 8" across but triangular, so I had to take the exam on my lap because they were so small and one could not support or balance the booklet and pencils/eraser/etc.

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Average

Parking: Highly recommend taking public transit or a cab as parking is limited and mostly zoned.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: An hour and a half or so, maybe a bit more.

Irregularities or mishaps: Howard U did not turn on the heaters until we arrived in the testing room, even though it was icy outside and the forecast had long said it would be cold. Since it was such a huge room, it took a very long time to warm up, and I couldn't feel my hands or feet for the first half of the exam. It was terrible.

Other comments:

Would you take the test here again? NEVER again. Even if the location is convenient, it's not worth the inconvenience of the testing site itself. It definitely had an impact on my test performance.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December 2015

Hi All,

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. I started my LSAT journey with a diagnostic score of 140. I am currently scoring in the low 160s and blind reviewing at 174+. I plan to sit for the LSAT between September/October.

I am in need of a study buddy of the description below:

a) scores in the high 150s and low 160s;

b) interested in taking the LSAT in September/October;

c) aims at reaching a 170 ballpark; and

d) ready to be a committed and dedicated study buddy.

If this is you, please inbox me.

Second, I need people who are scoring in the 140s who want to raise their scores to mid 150s and low 160s. I would be sharing helpful information that has served me well in this process, especially on Logical Reasoning and Logic Games. This is all for free. It is my way of giving back to this community and also a means to solidifying the contents I have learned so far. Also, because the LSAT can be a lonely and frustrating journey, if you just want to vent, I am here for you. If you feel this is for you, please inbox me.

Whatever your score is at this time, please know that that is immaterial. You can reach any score you want in this test (regardless of your diagnostic score) if you are willing to mentally sweat for it.

Proctors: Four proctors, two women and two men. The woman actually reading the exam instructions was a terrible reader - she was tripping over every other word, which was terribly distracting. I'm just glad I had used the 7sage proctor and was already familiar with the spiel, otherwise it would have been unnecessary stress.

Facilities: Took place in one of the newest buildings on campus, CCIS. Gorgeous building, great rooms and big tables.

What kind of room: Large theatre-style lecture hall (all four rooms)

How many in the room: ~75-100

Desks: Bench-style desks with pull-out chairs. Lots of room to work.

Left-handed accommodation: N/A, bench-style desks.

Noise levels: low.

Parking: ~$5 for the full testing time, or less depending on where you parked. Public transport available.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 45 minutes, proctors were slow to check people in.

Irregularities or mishaps: None!

Would you take the test here again? Yes - but I don't have to :)

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December 5 2015

I'm looking for anybody willing to meet up or at least discuss the lsat over skype. I usually study between 5-8 hours a day and have been practicing around low 170's, but have still have a lot of trouble with timing. I'm willing to help any of you with my strengths which is logical reasoning. I'm just looking for anyone who is very motivated to score very high and can make studying much more interactive by bouncing our minds and methods off each other. Anyways, if you're interested let me know at enzonabiev818@gmail.com. Thank you and wish you all the best of luck!

any engineer/math majors who found it terribly difficult to do LG on computer-based test, and were able to get into 17x on computer-based lsat official administration?

how exactly do you work on lg on paper for every answer choice?

it seems much more difficult than LG during paper-based test days, as most if not almost all answer choices need transcribing on paper to be worked on.

earlier the answer choices were already on paper, so one could just draw on their top or check them against own diagram on paper.

i find it almost impossible now.

i have taken LSAT before during its paper-based days and have a 17x score, which is now expiring, and need retake.

LG was almost perfect for me on paper in 35 min.

but i have taken PT several times on computer now and it's much worse.

Have more test centers been hotels in recent years? Seems like maybe they used to be at universities more, but I'm not sure. Anyway, if a hotel is a possible venue, any ideas for how to take PTs in the same environment or something very much like it?

Any data out there about how many people ultimately get a 90th percentile LSAT score + after multiple attempts? If I'm understanding the percentile charts correctly, approximately only 10% of folks get a score higher than a 166 in each administration. But not aware of data out there about "ultimate" scores across multiple test attempts.

Is there any available resource to compare how difficult PT-X's LG section with PT-Y's LG section as a whole?

E.g. for an average 170-scorer, how many approximate misses in PT-55 LG compared to PT-75 LG within 35 mins in strict test conditions.

This is not referring to how difficult an individual Game but only LG section as a whole.
