So i have the premium pack now, but i will take the test on September which will be digital. So i want to upgrade to ultimate which has up to PT 71. However, is ultimate+ worth it since it has the latest PTs? or there isn't much difference between ultimate and ultimate+?

If someone has their test date postponed for a couple days after the scheduled test date, are they given a different version of the test in any way? I imagine the 4 scored sections would have to be the same (they are, right?), but are the experimental sections the same as well? Anyone with experience with this?
I took the June LSAT a week after my grandfather passed away. The week leading up to the exam was one of the most emotionally draining/stressful weeks I've experienced to date. I ended up scoring 3 points short on my PT average/goal score, but also 3 points higher than my take in November. I've decided to take the September test. Any advice on getting back into the groove after a month off? I'm planning on taking 1 PT/week and BRing during the week while working full time.
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.
Hey guys,
I am wondering if CPA PEP (Canada) is considered a mandatory institution for LSAC transcript requirements. Its a professional designation for an accounting license which requires module work to be done.
I e-mailed LSAC about it but shocker, no reply for ages.
Answer choice D contains the reason why the answer is incorrect.

Holy crap did anyone else get destroyed by PT 82? Especially LR S1
Is it possible to get both scores after grading the digital PT (timed and BRd score)?**
For instance, If you take the exam, go back to flagged questions to BR (having not selected "Show Results"), do those questions and then score the exam, which score(s) do you get?
My BR score will only comprise questions I reviewed that were flagged and questions I flagged because I did not get to or skipped them.
What is your method for going back to confidence-error questions? I will not include them in my BR score but since I click "Show Results" I will not be able to go back to the digital exam to do these questions again right?
Do you use the "Quick View" method to review these questions?
Also, in order to know which questions are flagged/not flagged, would it be a good idea to write down the questions that were flagged when BR digitally so that I could be made aware of which questions were confidence-error and which ones were flagged?
For the questions I did flag, would it be best to write the question numbers down during BR so that I can check to see whether or not I got the flagged questions right or wrong after I completed BR and click "Show Results"?
I have not really explored digital that much and just want to make sure I can take some precautionary measures before starting my digital PT and prep practice.
Hi Everyone,
I'm taking the July LSAT and my photo on my admissions ticket only takes up 75% of the 2x2 box. It's also a bit grainy but it's pretty decent. When I was registering it looked okay, but I looked last night to print it out and I had a mini heart attack. I am bringing a 2x2 photo of the picture on my ticket, driver's license, passport, and maybe even birth certificate along as I am concerned. Has anyone had a previous experience/any advice on what I should do? Thank you, I'm so anxious.
Dear 7sagers,
So here's my thoughts on my first online format take for the LSAT:
I loved it for LR! It just felt like the process went way smoother and more efficiently. I don't know if it was because I've been drilling and reviewing LR like mad over the past couple of weeks, but nonetheless, the online LR has some evident advantage in my view. First of all, it helps so much that the clock is on your screen. Checking for the time on my analog watch was just a plain damn nuisance for me. Also, not having to transfer your answers on the scan-tron gives me an extra 2-3 minutes to do more questions. Lastly, the online format in terms of pencil vs. mouse/tablet pen, doesn't allow much time to be fixated on labeling. This indirectly forces you to focus on the structure of the argument instead of circling/underling each and every major detail, which was a bad habit for me.
Now for on the contrary, the online format is a freakin' NIGHTMARE for Games! Having to look up and down at the screen between my setup on scratch paper and the test itself on the monitor was unforgiving for me! Right now I usually get through about 3 games; but this time I could barley do ONE! Uggh, I wish LSAC would allow for having a clean paper version of the games to write on, and then transfer your answers on the computer/tablet. How do you all handle Games online? I folded my scratch paper horizontally, with one bigger side for the diagram, and the smaller side for questions. However this didn't help me at all, so I would dearly welcome any and all suggestion on this for me.
For Reading Comp., I still slightly prefer paper, but I believe I'll be able to adjust for online reading. I also believe that the online version, like LR, doesn't allow much time for obsession over labeling, so it forces you to comprehend the structure of the passage, which is what RC is pretty much all about.
PS: I'm registered for the July test, which seems like a WTF that I just now did an online test. However I'm most likely going to cancel and take advantage of the later free test unless I score a 155 or better. So I'd really like those online LG suggestions please!
Looking for a study buddy in LA! Got high 160s on previous take, looking for 173+ by September

Hi everyone! I’m trying to decide whether I should write a GPA addendum and how to write it!
Basically I took two year long college level courses in my senior year of High school through a local community college in an attempt challenge myself academically, but received a few C’s. However, around November two months after the courses my abusive brother attempted to kill me. While the event itself was obviously traumatic (I’m okay!) it was really what happened following that affected me and my GPA. I was still expected and did to live in the same house as him. (It was our family home along with my mother.) I also had to decide whether to press charges against him not only affecting me, but my mother as well. All of this caused me extreme stress and the inability to focus in school subsequently leading to the poor grades. Although during this time I was still able to graduate and be accepted to college which allowed me to move away and out of the situation. Afterwards I was able to dedicate my time to academics and received mostly A’s and B’s with roughly a 3.6 for my undergraduate GPA. I’m hoping this shows that it was just the extenuating circumstances that caused the C’s but I’m worried about the affect they will have on my LSAC GPA.
I wam wondering if I should write an addendum explaining what happened and the affect it had on my GPA/performance. Clearly the two C’s don’t represent my academic ability, but don’t know whether to write one or not. I also don’t know how to go about writing an addendum, I understand they should be concise and factual but don’t want to come across as if I’m asking for pity. I feel as though “My brother attempted to kill me and I genuinely could not focus in class” is a bit harsh/blunt and don’t want to make adcoms uncomfortable.
Thanks for any help!
Hey friends, I'm going to be done the CC at the end of August, and start PTing in September for the November LSAT. How many PT's do you think I should aim to do? How many per week? Would you recommend that I supplement each test with a fifth section from an older LSAT to get a feel for how it will feel on test day?
Love to get your thoughts guys!

Once I put in info for a recommender, can I change the info, like change the email? (If it's before I sent out the email)
Hi folks,
I was wondering if one should expect to eventually be able to score 179-180 consistently in BR and if the fact that I'm not able to do so mean I still have theory to learn.
Hello 7sagers, I am looking for your advice please!
I am currently working on FPing my way through LG and working on overconfidence errors in LR. For LR specifically, I maintain a journal where I write down question I got wrong and learn a lot from. Does anyone else do this/ some variation of it? Could you please tell me how often you go through those questions again and how you incorporate that into your study plans?
I currently have filled up a lot of pages with questions I have done, but I'm not really sure how I can go about reviewing them back again.
Thank you so much!!
Does anyone know a way to download the webinar videos for offline viewing?
(The webinar I want to download is not on Youtube, so I can't go that route)
Thanks
Is it a good idea to use the BR method for non-timed pts? I like to work on older pts such as 30 to 50 slowly while Im at work or If I need to drill and keep my mind sharp and to make it a habit to not forget anything.
Im using 51 to present pts for my actual timed pts while I study for the October exam so Im not concerned with wasting pts.
Would be great if we could add this to our analytics without needing to take the whole test.
Hey all,
Help me decide when to write, please.

I am currently scoring 150-152 when timed. I would like to score high 160s. That’s realistic, right? I have been studying since the beginning of June.
If anyone has any suggestions at all on the path I should take please let me know. I’m mostly applying to Canadian universities (maybe 1 or 2 American ones). I am also a horrible test taker. Sorry my mind is all over the place right now, I don’t know what I should do!
