I'm writing my lsat on Saturday and i keep scoring 4 points below my goal score.
With my gpa, a score of mid 150 would make me competitive for the law school i want to get into.
Currently i keep scoring between 151 to 152.
When i BR my score gets to 155+.
Any last minute tips to help me boost up my score a couple points?
It's really frustrating because everytime I do LR the first time around i get -8 to -11, but when i go back to look at the questions i got wrong, the answers which were my second choice are always right.
And as for LG, I'm doing well in terms of accuracy, however I'm still spending 8.5 min on each game. Which makes it difficult to finish the last most difficult game.
Hi, everyone - could have sworn the other day I noticed that you could see overall how "hard" a test was considered to be (although it might have been based on each section). Either way, I can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks!
Some background information first: I took the LSAT in November and received a 155. I had been studying on my own for 6+ months and with a tutor for two of those months. My PT's then were averaging 157 but I did not follow the same BR method as 7Sage. My goal LSAT score at the time was a 164 or higher (although then I didn't think either was possible).
Now...
On the diagnostic PT I received an actual score of 159 and a BR score of 164. This is how my sections on the actual played out:
LG- 96%, 22/23
LR1- 72%, 18/25
LR2- 80%, 20/25
RC- 63%, 17/27
Given this score, I feel like I could really improve to even a 170 if I really put my mind to it (I hope I'm not being overly optimistic).
Obviously, RC and LR are my weakness. The harder questions, usually Q's 17+, are also consistently wrong. I am still planning on completing the CC but I want any and all tips, opinions, study schedule, advice, etc.on how to move forward with my studies to really maximize my score.
When BR do you BR every question or just the ones you circled? Also, when writing out each Q do you also write an explanation of the mistake you made the first time so not to make it again?
Any tips for while studying/going through the CC? Should I have review days or anything of the sort?
How can I get these harder Q's right on the first time?
Any and all tips are appreciated!! So happy I found 7Sage and this community! Thanks.
I am planning to take the September 2019 digital LSAT and I began studying earlier this month with the Khan Academy digital program. On Khan Academy, you can highlight RC passages but not underline, bracket, etc. -- and can't do anything with the LG or LR prompts (although you can use scrap paper for diagramming LG). Now, watching the 7Sage videos, I'm realizing how very helpful it would be to have the paper test in front of me to mark LG and LR prompts and RC passages - and doing my first BR, I noticed that there were a handful of answers I marked incorrectly just because I didn't absorb the question properly!
I see the 7Sage videos doing things like circling important words in the question stems, bracketing premises and conclusions, etc. I know that misreading is such an easy way to lose points so I'm interested to learn: with the lack of a paper test, what are some ways that I can train my brain to catch everything? I sometimes read a question two or three times and still "hear" it incorrectly! I am definitely a paper-and-pencil kind of person and I love marking up pages (even the books I read for leisure get underlined and highlighted), so taking a digital exam is requiring me to acquire some new ways of thinking.
Thanks for any thoughts!
Proctors: Two male proctors, not sure on their names, but they were excellent.
Facilities: Alfred Lerner Hall & Purnell Hall
What kind of room: Small/Medium size classroom
How many in the room: 10 people in my room
Desks: Large desks. I was concerned about Udel based on past reviews, but was very happy with the desk size. Lerner and Purnell both had the perfect sizes.
Left-handed accommodation: Yes
Noise levels: Quiet, no distractions
Parking: Metered spots, parking garage, or create a visitor login and purchase a pass online ahead of time
Time elapsed from arrival to test: 15 mins
Irregularities or mishaps: None
Other comments: Great testing facility. I had excellent proctors and perfect desk space. The bathrooms were located close by, the parking as adequate. I'd recommend UD as long as they keep using these halls.
Would you take the test here again? Yes
Date[s] of Exam[s]: January 26, 2019
Hi everyone!
Has anyone applied to St. John's law school? If so, has anyone completed the video interview? What questions do they ask?
Thanks!
Hi everyone. I was curious if any alumni could shed some light on what law school is really like, particularly regarding the workload. Thanks in advance!
Has anyone taken the LSAT in Rome at this testing center? Looking for feedback.
Nothing I can do about it now except cry silent tears. The person's first name is missing a letter (so Wayne is now Waye). I'm hoping no one notices.
Lesson to others - CHECK EVERYTHING IN LSAC ACCOUNT. Proofread EVERYWHERE, not just your essays. (sigh)
So, I scored a 146 on my november LSAT with about three weeks of intense prep. Obviously the score is crap and I plan to retake the LSAT with a target score of 165. I took some time off from studying and started studying intensely about 6 weeks ago with plans to take the March LSAT. My highest PT so far is a 152 and I have about 45 more days of studying. I would ideally like to start law school in the fall. Should I cancel my March LSAT registration and plan on taking the June LSAT instead OR can I make that much of a jump from 152-165 in 6 weeks? Perhaps I could get a private tutor and nail it in 45 days. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
Can anyone help explain to me what EXACTLY you are supposed to do on each step of the BR method.
This is my second time going through the CC, the first time I didn't use the BR method because I didn't fully understand what I was doing.
Also, can this method be used when doing quizzes, drilling problem sets, and doing untimed pts?
When should I start using this method?
Hey 7sagers,
I am interested in looking into getting a tutor for the LSAT. Before I do so, I was wondering if you have gotten an LSAT tutor, how have your experiences be? What areas did you use them to help you in? How have they helped you improve your mark?
For me I am looking into getting a Tutor for LR & RC, study plans, etc.
Any stories, tips and info are recommended.
I'm wondering if I should upgrade to Ultimate+. Here's my dilemma:
I have PDF's of each question type (with questions from PT 1-35) and they're arranged by difficulty from a previous tutor which is super convenient. The only thing is that I find it extremely helpful to be able to go back and watch J.Y's videos after BR or if I'm having difficulty with a question. Also, I find it hard to organize/make my own 'problem sets'. I feel like I just have multiple running lists of problem types I should be doing with different difficulties but have trouble keeping track of them. I should also mention that I have every PT from 39+ available as well for when I start PTing.
Is it worth it to spend the extra money to upgrade to Ultimate+ given my circumstances?
If I were to upgrade to Ultimate+, how should I go about doing the problem sets? Do you do all of them after each lesson or save the harder ones for later/review?
Has anyone or is anyone taking the March exam at Lehigh? I wanted to go and take a PT there but no one seems to know anything about the lsat. Anyway, they told me that there is no place for me to take a PT but she didn't seem quite sure herself. If anyone has any info on the test center can you share your experience?
Does anyone know if you send in a signature of intent to registrar, but sign up for the June test to help with waitlists and scholarship negotiation, would that be a problem? I know schools have different policies, but I am imagining that signing up for the June test wouldn't be some violation or get an admittance retracted.
Split screen support would be really helpful for tablet users.
My eyes are getting too much exercise from reading 1/32 inches letters on my goodnotes.
Reply if you would want to be interested in starting a study group for the July/June LSAT in the West Texas Area
Scoring and editing PrepTests will be temporarily unavailable starting at 10pm PT, 1am ET tonight. You should be able to see your existing data. We hope to finish in one hour, but it may take longer. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes!
update Finished! (30m unavailability)
... Before I spend time gathering a bunch of MBT questions and making them one LR section for practice, does anyone have any idea where I can find something like this? I am looking for 25-27 MBT questions all together as one practice section.
Thanks in advance!
Hi y'all, I am planning on signing up for the July test, does anyone know how it looks like testing in the International Trade Center.
I just took the Feb 1997 PT (my second one ever), and got what I feel is a very unusually high score. I noticed this test is not numbered consistently with the others and that 7sage placed it right after the end of the CC. Is this test just unusually easy or not representative of other PTs? I'm just curious as to why it is set apart/not used in the CC given how old it is.
I'm curious if anyone has taken the test at Seattle Hyatt Olive 8 before, and if so how would they organize the test taker? Is the table big enough to use? How big is the room and what about the noise level?
.
I'm familiar with the format and question types on the test, but I'm basically new. I studied for a bit last summer on the LSAT trainer but that didn't go well. Anyways, I have the summer to prepare for it this time and am planning to write the Sept test. How do I start? I'm not sure which plan to purchase on 7Sage, and considering how new I am I'm also thinking of getting the PS Bibles. Also getting the practice test books. Any advice helps!
