Hi everyone,

I have lots of LSAT related stuff that I’m giving away. Message me for more info.

Mods sorry if not allowed.

Hi all,

Similar to most of you, I am a bit bummed about Saturday's test. I have been studying for about a year now, and felt really prepared. I took the July test, and canceled because it was not where I want to be (164+). Before Saturday, my practice tests were falling between 164-169. I believe I did really well on LR, ok on RC, but I know that I bombed LG horribly. The chances are pretty slim that I score 164 even if I did well on those LR sections. I was already signed up for October, but I'm feeling a bit discouraged and stressed on how to study at this point. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to study for someone who has already gone through all practice tests from 30-87. Should I retake tests I've already taken? Should I use early tests for practice? I was also wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the amount of studying from now until October. Any help is really appreciated!

Thanks!

Lauren

Am I the only one that took the September test and that the writing for is not available on LSAC?

Can anyone confirm that the new digital format immediately generates your score? If not, is there any decrease in turn around between taking the LSAT and receiving the score?

Any dramatic thoughts on the effects of the digital lsat at-large? Thanks!!

Is there a way to take individual LR sections?

Thank you

I got my October LSAT reassigned to the Grand Hyatt New York. Has anyone taken it there before? How was it?

I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue where there are discrepancies between the digital lsat that the LSAC released and the one they demonstrated on the tutorial? On my laptop the same format shows up, but on my tablet the passage only, highlighters, underline, and eraser functions are not there. Also I’ve read that in RC there’s numbers that you can use to annotate the passage, and on SR questions it will highlight it in the passage, and on LR there’s a collapse answers feature and that you can write on it to mark it up with a stylus pen. All of this is missing and there’s not really any mentions on whether this is an old format they will upgrade and post soon or if it’s my device? I already upgraded my tablet (iPad with safari) so I’m at a loss...

Hi everyone,

Been on 7Sage since earlier this summer and have gone through the coursework. Now I'm working on PrepTests. I have access through PrepTest 55 and plan on upgrading to get access to the full PrepTest library.

I've seen people comment on how the LSAT changes over time - usually to get more difficult and ensure the curve. Anyone have a general timeline of the step changes, e.g. Preptests 55-68 are one level of difficulty (usually LG), but then Preptests 69 onward jump it up a notch in the RC section, etc?

Sorry if this is a duplicate post.

Hi everyone!

I've recently decided to take one more year off before I start law school so I have adequate time to prepare for the LSAT. I'm currently in Colombia working with a grant and I absolutely love being here. For my second gap year, I would love to be abroad somewhere else for about 6 months at least before I start law school, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to begin looking for opportunities. I'm here with a grant that took a year to apply to and I don't really have the time to do that all over again, but I'm learning that it's not as difficult as I once thought to just go and work in another place.

Any advice you guys have on programs or how to look for jobs in a new country (digital or in person) or anything at all would be so appreciated.

Hope you are all having great days :)

Hello, I originally posted this in the comments under the question but the more I look at it I'm second guessing if my reasoning is correct. I've pasted it here with a couple alterations because I accidentally put "understand" instead of "know" in the other post. It got me to the correct answer but could someone please confirm if my reasoning is correct and if not, where I went wrong. Thank you.

59.3.19

Premises:

A := Understanding a word

B := Knowing its dictionary definition

C := Understanding the words that occur in the definition

(A →B) → (A → C)

Premises: we have an instance of people (e.g., babies) who don’t understand the words that occur in the definition.

==> C

Necessary failed, contrapose back.

==> (A →B)

which is equivalent to

A and B

In other words, it could be the case that people (e.g., babies) understand the words they’re saying even if they don’t know the word's dictionary definition.

Which matches AC (E).

Hello. I have to do the 'blind review." I watched the videos & took my first practice test. What exactly do we have to do? I am a bit confused.

Thanks!

Hi all, Looking for general advice. I am applying to multiple Canadian law schools for the 2020 year and had originally planned to take the January 2020 test thinking it would give me the most time to prepare and that the disadvantage in the application process would be worth it. Currently, I am doubting myself and have set up to write the test in November. However, I am doing applications and haven't had a huge opportunity to do full tests yet as I am still finishing the curriculum (just starting Reading Comp) and I feel I will just do the November test and will do awful. On my first test I took I got a 150 and I am hoping to score above a 165 with the knowledge from the curriculum and with at least 10-20 tests completed from now to November. so I guess I have two main questions - What is the cost of writing in January as opposed to November and do you think I am being reasonable? Thanks for any help!

#help I work full time, 8:30-6. i wake up before work and study for 1.5 hours and another 1.5 after work. I go through the courses but i don't get enough practice to actually retain what im learning. Should i continue courses and finish the curriculum or should go through a section and go to the Qbank to practice? is there any point of the syllabus where it actually makes you practice more of the things you learned instead of the few questions it give you? what would you guys recommend i do. saturdays i can work from 5 to 10pm. sundays all day.

When I went to do my digital writing sample I had my phone in my backpack, and I forgot to turn it off. I got a text during the writing sample, so the reviewers could probably hear the notification. I just kept going on the test and didn't reach into my bag or anything. I haven't heard back to see if it was accepted or not. This is probably a new issue with the separation of the writing portion from the actual test day, but is it necessary to write an addendum or anything if you get a rules violation, or will LSAC just send whichever writing sample was accepted?

I'm sure this has been addressed already, however I have a few questions in regards to ED that I would appreciate some feedback from.

First, Just to be clear, you can only ED for ONE school, correct?

Second, should you apply ED before you take the test?

-In other words, do you have an advantage of applying early in the ED cycle, or is it irrelevant to schools as long as it's within the deadline.

Third, how low is too low for ED? (MAIN QUESTION)

Has anyone seen similar paper--hue--graphite was described, thinness--heard it was sort of like newsprint, and watermark--available for purchase to practice on?

Hi all,

I’m in my last month of prep and have been lurking on 7Sage for a bit of time. Since I’ve been working full time through this I haven’t been able to interact as much. Since I’m changing my position after this test to something a bit easier before law school I wanted to say hi and see if there was anyway I could help others and this discussion board has helped me quite a bit.

If anyone is a full time worker starting this process I would love to give any words of wisdom(failures) I’ve had this far when it comes to tour study schedule.

Are there any upcoming admissions webinar Q&A sessions?

Hi all, I'm going through the CC now and am about halfway through. I was wondering if it would help/ hinder to start taking maybe 1 PT per week (Even though it would take longer to complete the rest of the CC). Although I'm learning a lot from the CC I'm nervous that as weeks pass I'll be forgetting earlier things I've learned. Has anyone tried this and would recommend? Thanks!

Saw someone post about nyc and thought it was a good idea. Anyone going to the law school forum in Atlanta on 10/18?

Help me with my last 6 weeks study plan! (hopefully)

I’ll be taking Nov. 25th test, and I just restarted on taking PTs last week.

So far done 67, 69 and 73. And got 160, 169, 169 respectively.

These are the score breakdown:

PT 67 (actual -25 / BR -14)

LR (-7/-7)

LR (-7/-4)

LG (-2/-0)

RC (-9/-3)

PT 69 (actual -13 / BR -11)

LR (-5/-4)

LR (-3/-4)

LG (-0/-0)

RC (-5/-3)

PT 73 (actual -13 / BR -13)

LR (-3/-3)

LR (-4/-5)

LG (-0/-0)

RC (-6/-5)

I’ve been spending a lot of time on blind review. It used to take about 8 hours, and now it takes more like 20 hours. Thought they were supposed to go down. Anyways, I’m fine with that, but I just don’t know what I can do to eliminate overconfidence errors. Out of 10 circled question, I usually circle one or two that I actually get wrong. So there’s also under-confidence error, but I’m trying to fix oc first…

I’ve been thinking about reusing used PTs for drills.

Maybe do 1 fresh PT on Monday through Wednesday, and do 3 used PTs for Th, Fri, Sat? I won’t be doing BR as extensively for used PTs, and only do BR and missed question review. (think this would count as section drills?)

Or would it be better to just do 2 fresh PTs every week?

Is it my lack of understanding in foundations? I want to return to CC, but I don’t even know what I don’t know.

My BR score dropped thanks to overconfidence errors...urgh

And how should I BR RC? I'm reading the section untimed, do low-res/structure and watch videos and explanations right now.

Should I BR questions without re-reading the passages?

Hey Guys,

I am an Indian International Student studying in the US. I have been preparing using the US LSAT exams, mostly because I last took the LSAT in the US and also because that is the only material I can find. I am back home in India for a break and registered to take the LSAT here. I am concerned that the material in the test might be different from what I have practiced. Can someone give me some insight into that?

Thanks!

I haven't come across any I've had to diagram and was wondering how common it is to diagram them and if anyone has examples of these in actual LR questions!
