Hi all,

Looking for some input on which PTs to prioritize. I have access up to PT59 via 7Sage and also have a few in the late 60’s/early 70’s through a friend that come with Kaplan written explanations. I know the most recent ones are more reflective of the actual test, but I feel like I learn better from 7sage’s explanations.

What would y’all recommend? I plan to go through the other group in timed sections/drilling regardless but trying to decide which to focus on for my final 5 full-length PTs.

Thanks in advance!

I feel like there's something wrong. I finished 7sage's LR curriculum, drilled, took practice tests, and I never scored higher than my diagnostic. In fact, I only scored between 157 and 162 on my practice tests preceding the official test. To be fair, I introduced BR very late to my study process. But I feel like it's odd that I didn't at least stumble into a higher score based on rote practice and familiarity.

Does anyone have thoughts about how to proceed for the October exam? Should I hunker down, focusing on PTs and blind review? Should I consider a different program? A private tutor? Stop studying and hope my intuition marinates over that time (JK)?

With the new LSAT changes, which PTs are being used for question drills, and which ones are completely clean for full PTs?

I've seen that 7sage recommends taking old PTs first, but I've already done a lot of drills that uses questions from all the old PTs. Should I still do a full PT for tests I know a few answers to?

Hey guys! Those of you who are practicing the LSAT, what type of small-term rewards are you guys using to reward yourselves when you guys reach a new practice test benchmark/jump?

For example, do you guys eat ice cream, or take a break from the LSAT for a day? Or what? I'm just curious what short-term goals/rewards you guys set for yourselves.

Thank you!

I’d like to print out all the modules to organize them into a binder for easier access and review. However, I’m having difficulty finding an efficient way to do this. Printing each page individually seems like it would take an extraordinary amount of time.

What’s most important to me is being able to print out the diagrams, as there doesn’t seem to be any way to do so currently. Is there a solution that would allow me to print or at least convert the diagrams (and ideally the modules) into a PDF?

Hey peeps!

I have been working a full time for over 3 years now and from working at my job have decided that I would like to go to law school. My full time job is pretty demanding and i could work from 40-50 hours a week and, some days (maybe once every 2-3 weeks) 10-11 hours just in a work shift. I took the LSATS in November on an unrealistic limb thinking I was giving myself enough time to learn all of the materials and be ready in about 2 1/2 months. (HA jokes on me) I did terrible on the test and my score was very low. I have been thinking about looking for a new job that I can still support myself, have insurance and be able to study appropriately for the next test. I would not like to switch jobs for many reasons but know I definitely want to go to school and this isn't my forever job. Ideally i would like to take it in March 2019 but I think this time I learned I need to make sure I am 100% ready and not just forcing myself to take the test. I work with many attorneys in my position and some are young and most are old. A few of the younger attorneys have told me not to get discouraged by my low score because i have gained A LOT of experience in my job that pertains to law. I have testified and presented in so many different types of family and dependency law hearings, and work with law on a daily basis. I have worked with many criminals, have interview experience and all. My point and question is I am curious to know how much schools would weigh in on my experiences and (decent) GPA, etc vs. my low scores? I plan to redo the CC and give myself more time to really learn the material and drill but I feel lost on my path to applying and my chances, and don't want to settle for a school that takes low test scores just because i want to get into school. If you have ever worked a full time job, i would appreciate any tips for studying!?

Hi guys! I am signed up for the August exam. I remember when friends took it this time around last year there were a lot of issues with Proctor U for online administrations. I haven't heard much recently about any issues.

Would love to hear people's more recent experiences from the June exam. :)

Disclaimer - I have not taken the LSAT yet so please correct me if I’m mistaken in believing it is only offered in a digital format barring some accommodation.

How are we supposed to parse out grammar when the exams are on a screen? I’ve read only text size and line spacing can be adjusted. Are we expected to mentally draw and remember 7 sets of parenthesis and arrows? Drawing on top of the questions and answer choices is extremely helpful for me.

Please let me know about your experiences and if we are able to draw and mark up questions like in the lesson videos. Thanks!

For context, I have not had testing accommodations in the past, but I have had an anxiety diagnosis for about 9 years now and am requesting 50% more time, however, I do have Kaiser Permanente, and it seems like due to their policy they aren't allowed to fill out outside/custom forms that aren't theirs. When I sent the request for my psychiatrist to fill out the qualified professional form, they instead sent me a "psychological disability form", which just shows the diagnosis + date, limitations on life activities (concentration/test stress management), as well as the current medications I'm taking for this. Would it be enough to just submit this document + explaining that it is out of my control that my healthcare provider is unable to fill out the qualified professional form. Anyone has a similar experience with Kaiser, what did you do? any advice?

when it asks *which one of the following could be all of the solos that are traditional pieces?* does this mean it asks a scenario in a particular sub game board or all possible places in all sub game boards? how do they ask differently if it asks about possible spaces one can be put in all sub game board??

Does anyone relate or have a possible explanation on why my score has been consistently higher on lawhub PT than 7sage? Lawhub I score between 159-161 and on 7sage I get 154-155! What is going on, need advice Im starting to freak out, my exam is in a week help!

My BR score has remained in the mid 160s with 166 being the highest, 164 being the lowest over the past 4 PTs. There is no question type that I am particularly struggling with, most of my wrong answers I just did not fully understand what I was reading. As for my timed scores my first PT was a 148 and it gradually has gone up each test with the highest and most recent one a 160. What do other people recommend I do? My goal for BR is to get it around 172-175 and my timed to be high 160s latest by January, hopefully by November or October. Should I just take practice tests over and over until it goes up? Is there any specific strategy I am missing? Side note: If anyone is in my same position and has the same goals would you like to get in touch and chat / study occasionally in discord? I am enrolled in school so I am taking 1 PT a week atm and drilling other days.

I haven't seen this question posted in past discussions so I'll go ahead and ask.... I am currently waitlisted at my top-choice school and am planning to write a LOCI. However, I was able to get a 4th LOR to add to my file. To make it even more interesting, my new LOR is from my district's Congressman (I was an intern during my Junior year in undergrad) BUT instead of submitting the LOR to the school his office sent it directly to my house. I was debating on writing my LOCI and addressing the fact that I have a new LOR and snail-mail both to the admissions office. Originally I was going to email my LOCI but I want to keep everything together. Does this sound like a good plan? Any other advice?

Hello!

Can anyone help explain this question from the grammar section on comparatives?

"At least 59 percent of households maintained a lower indoor temperature than they had been accustomed to maintain on very cold days"

I am an older applicant and am going to hire a professional service to research my background for any character and fitness issues. I had a situation come up that caused me to have significant retrograde amnesia that is likely not reversible. My family and friends tell me there is nothing major in my past in terms of C and F, but I will not be able to vouch for the absence or presence of some of the smaller issues myself that could have happened in college, etc., which is now many moons ago. Should I write a short addendum explaining such?

According to the LSAT Analytics for LR, the question types with the highest priority for me are question types with a higher accuracy rate than the average. (They are higher priority because they are more frequent.) I then have question types with lower than average accuracy with lower priority (because they are less frequent).

I'm trying to decide which of these two kinds of question types to really focus on. On one hand the "higher priority" questions would afford me more points if I corrected the problem, but on the other hand I would move up the curve more easily by addressing types of questions that are less frequent but nevertheless being answered more accurately by other test takers. I'm thinking that while there may be more opportunities to fix the "higher priority" questions because of the greater frequency, those missed questions might be the top tier of difficulty if I'm already answering them with above average accuracy.

For perspective, my high priority questions show me losing 1-1.5 points a test on that question type with 10-20% higher accuracy than average. The lower priority questions might be several question types that each show me losing .4 points a test with 10-20% lower accuracy than average. The latter seems to be lower hanging fruit, despite being less frequent.
