So....just went online to submit the final copy of my personal statement and it looks like the site has crashed. I've tried it from multiple different computers, asked my friends to try from home but they're also getting the same internal error message. Called admissions, no answer. Anyone else experiencing this?

Proctors: Middle of the road. Good but not great. Firm but not too strict.

Facilities: Plenty of room. Lighting could have been a little brighter. Temperature was fine. Chairs were reasonably comfy.

What kind of room: Large gathering room located in their Alumni Center which is just off campus.

How many in the room: We had about 25 but it could have easily accomodated several more.

Desks: Long skinny rectangles. Sadly, the surface was textured. Come on La Sierra.

Left-handed accommodation: Not needed with their setup.

Noise levels: Very quiet.

Parking: Plentiful and close. No sticker or permit needed.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About half an hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: For some reason the proctor took about 3 seconds between sections 4 and 5 after she had moved at a much more normal pace on all the other change-overs. Watch reset had to happen super fast on that one.

Other comments: Bathroom facilities were decent and accomodated an appropriate number of people for the number who were taking the exam (which was NOT the case at my previous LSAT location).

Would you take the test here again? Yes

The Question Bank is great!

Progressing through the PT phase, I was wondering if it is possible to have a Filter/Sort for the PT's that I have entered into Analytics to create problem sets to drill? Utilizing the problem sets within the curriculum was immensely helpful and I have created similar problem sets with PTs that I have taken. Curious if it could be easier to delineate which PTs to choose to create mini-drill sets and be able to maintain the integrity of fresh PTs?

Any advice appreciated to make it an easier process:)

(p.s. This post is in no way advocating for extensive drilling on a specific Question type - taking sections and being able to adapt as the questions are presented is paramount:)

Hey all,

I will be taking the JUNE 2017 LSAT and I have just recently began studying . I live in Yonkers, NY but work in the city on the upper west side. I would prefer coffee shops anything after 3pm but am flexible for earlier. I would prefer someone at my level. I took a PT and my diagnostic was 149 :(. I Also drive so I don't mind traveling if you're in westchester or even NJ. I am using the trainer, bibles + manhattan books too.

Has anyone sent their applications over while the transcripts are still being sent over?

Hi,

I heard if you want to re-apply the same school you should re-write your essays, but what about LOR?

Can we use the same letters?

Thank you in advance,

I was trying to send out transcripts and have received an error. Anyone else have the same issues?

I have a half page C and F and 1 page (double spaced for both) diversity statement ready to go. Anyone have a couple of minutes to take a read through and give me their opinion?

Hi all,

What are some recurring topics you've noticed in LSAT reading comprehension? Some I've noticed are: evolution and natural selection, Ronald Dworkin, African American/indigenous/Asian American rights, impressionist artists, and subjectivism vs. objectivism. Wouldn't hurt to familiarize myself with these recurring topics (i.e., you've seen on 2+ Reading Comprehension passages). Any more (I'm sure there are many?)

Heyy guys, anyone in the Houston area, studying for June/Sept willing to meet up for practice preptest or study sessions. I am have a difficult time staying motivated, I NEED A BUDDY/BUDDIES.

Hi all,

I'm having difficulty with the really challenging causation/correlation LR problems. Any suggestions on finding problem sets for these particular questions?

As a side note, I also struggle with the more "math-y" LR questions that haven't been as common in recent years, and am looking for problem sets on those, too, but my first issue is more pressing.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I took the LSAT in February and I was hoping to retake it again in June. Unfortunately, I broke my right elbow on Thursday. I am right handed and i'm typing this all with my left hand as we speak.

Has anyone here studied without you non-dominant hand? Any help on strategies on how to diagram logic games without writing it out by hand? I am more concerned w LG than the other sections. Hopefully I'll be healed by May.

Thanks!

I've read in various discussions about getting back to the basics, or mastering the fundamentals, before PTing. Can somebody please elaborate what this meant for them during this process? For instance, does this entail mastering all the drills and going -0 after BRing the practice sets? I took the LSAT this past February after completing the curriculum and did not perform well. I am planning on taking the test in October or December and want to make sure I am doing everything correctly this time around. I thoroughly went through the curriculum for 4 months, but only left myself 2 months for practice tests which felt rushed. Thanks for any advice!

Looking for accountability study buddies online in preparing for the June test

Hi everyone ! I signed up to take the powerscore live class for the October lsat and I'm wondering if anyone here has taken it before ? I've written the lsat twice and exam anxiety got the best of me the last time... 7 sage has been really helpful so far but I'm determined to get in this cycle and I think that an in-person class would be helpful.

If anyone's taken it before, do you have any tips/recommendations ? I scored in the 140 the first time I wrote it (I was 18 and didn't study at all), and the second time I Had an anxiety attack in the middle of the exam because I thought I filled the bubbles in wrong.

I know that it's an exam you need to learn and not study and I'm slowly trying to shift gears into thinking that way this time around. But if anyone has taken the powerscore exam while using the 7sage course I would love your thoughts and how/if doing both programs together helped your score.

I'm currently in NYC (LES), just graduated, and determined to devote my entire summer to studying for the LSATs so I can take the upcoming September 2017 LSAT. I think it would be mutually helpful to BR with someone else!

I have a schedule set up to take every preptest between 36-80. I'm also in the September 2017 study group on Sundays at 7PM. I made my schedule to cater around that one. Please let me know if you're interested!

So I've nailed logic games, I've implemented a new strategy for LR where I pay more attention to structure and ive been doing better so far, but my RC is totally screwed up. A) a lot of the time I don't get to every question, and B) most of my mistakes are from Inference and Authors Perspective questions.

I make the right answer choices during BR but I just can't seem to time myself correctly.

Should I spend more time on timed RC which would lead to less time on LR and LG review? I don't plan on doing BR for RC , I feel like LR skills translate into skills needed for RC questions. But my timing is way off. I took PT 63 and got a 167 but I missed like 5-8 questions in total, and rushed RC making stupid mistakes just to get to the next question. I feel like I can't retain enough info to be able to make inferences ...I go back and skim portions of the passage to affirm my inferences. Should I rely more on skimming and going back during questions or nailing it after the first pass?

Anyone know where to buy PT February 1997 for less than $30 new/unmarked? I know it is the basis for ItemWise on LSAC's website, but I was hoping to use it as a full test.

Proctors:

Friendly enough, spoke clearly and answered questions clearly.

Facilities:

The Test was downtown Grand Rapids, address clearly marked, easy to find from directions on Western's website.

What kind of room:

They split us by last name into 4 medium sized lecture halls on two different floors. Air conditioned, felt roughly 68 degrees, comfortable the whole time.

How many in the room:

35-40

Desks:

Continuous table with a space skipped between each test taker. More than adequate space for test booklet, answer sheet and gear. Chairs were adjustable and comfortable, more than satisfactory. Clearly visible clocks on either side of the room, Large enough to see hands and numbers easily.

Left-handed accommodation:

Yes

Noise levels:

Nothing from outside the room. I never noticed traffic, construction, train sounds, or anything like that. Just pencil scratching and occasional cough or sniffle.

Parking:

There's a free public parking ramp next door, which I only realized afterward Next building south on Commerce! :( Otherwise there is minimal metered parking on the street.

Time elapsed from arrival to test:

Check-in was at 12:30, I was in my car at about 5:45 So about 5 hours. Took a long time to get everyone check in and start the test, but once we started the proctors didn't waste any time.

Irregularities or mishaps:

NA

Other comments:

Would you take the test here again?

Certainly, planning to come September unless my score is shockingly high, haha

Date[s] of Exam[s]:

June 12, 2017

Hi All! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on taking the LSAT in a foreign country. I'm born and raised in the states but have recently moved to Spain and as a result, plan to take the September LSAT here in Pamplona (about 5-6 hours from where I live). I was wondering if anyone has ever taken an LSAT in a foreign country and if you have any advice or tips or anecdotal evidence! Thanks in advance :)

So i saw someone else with this idea for CC, i hope he/she doesnt mind that i am borrowing the idea.

I am currently in my PT/ intensive phase. I have already finished the CC and foolproofed games 1-35.

If anyone is interested in picking LR and RC sections from 7-50s to intensively review and speak out the underlying principles, i would love to listen and exchange ideas.

I find that, when it comes to this test everyone has strengths and things they can bring to the table, i would love to hear and try to employ yours and reciprocate if i can.

I will be studying full time come the end of this week. Comment and PM if your interested in a phone call or chat

I've been experiencing a lot of technical issues with the question bank. Regardless of how many questions I choose, only half will actually load. It's also not possible for me to choose multiple question types in LR.I tried google chrome, firefox, and safari.

Is anyone else having issues as well?

Anyone live in southern Connecticut and would want to set up a study group for the December 2017 LSAT evenings and weekends??

Hi all-- I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year (starting June 2016). I took the exam this past June and had hoped/expected it to be my last take. As often happens, I wasn't happy with my score and I am planning to re-take the exam in Sept.

The unfortunate thing is that I have taken almost every single practice test. The only ones I have completely untouched are A B and C (and maybe one other). Thus, I am re-taking the PTs, starting with the oldest ones that I have taken (9-10 months old at the oldest). I do think there is value in that-- but what I am curious about is how much? Unless it is in my subconscious, I remember barely anything from the exams I took the longest ago. However, I am inclined to think that my score on the re-take is not "reliable" in the sense that I have seen the material before, even though the jump in some cases from first take to second take has been 20+ points.

This makes it difficult to gauge if my score is going up or not. I figure the only way to see where my score/average is now is how I do on the untouched exams. What do others think?

Hey does anyone have any experience at this testing center? I can't find any reviews. Thanks in advance!
