So I improved my LSAT score compared to the the time, I took it without studying 2 years ago (Yes you can laugh!). But it is no where near where it truly needs to be. I am the Austin area and interested in seeking out tutoring to help me get through the logic games especially. I just got 7Sage and before I was doing the Khan Academy self study.

On my most recent PT (82) I got a 167, but on BR I got a 176. Is a difference this extreme normal? I typically will BR anywhere from 5-9 pts higher. If this is normal, I plan to proceed with taking the October test in 2ish weeks. This consistent difference in score is making me wonder if I should just study more and hold out until the following administration, though. Any thoughts/experiences?

I have a LSAC fee waiver. How can I provide this information and what does it qualify me for? I'm new to your site, so I'm not certain where to ask these questions.

I started studying hard after I bombed the June test. I feel really good about testing next week. Since I started 7sage, my scores are all increasing. Today, I did the actual test from June and scored 13 points higher. Has anyone had patterns of success here but after completing the real test, failed to show growth? I feel confident that I have improved but afraid that I might mess it up. Test Anxiety is real.

Hoping Perception is reality.

Hello all,

I have been prepping for the January exam since this past summer. I have the PowerScore bibles and the Starter 7Sage curriculum. I spend a lot a time grappling with this material. But for some reason I am just not fully grasping the logical reasoning concept. For some reason, I end up with two answers (one being right and the other being wrong and I always fall for the wrong answer or the one that has absolutely nothing to do with the argument) Weaken, Strengthen, and Necessary Assumptions specifically are my extreme problem areas. I know that Logical Reasoning is a huge component of this test and also a catalyst to success with Logical Games. What are some strategies you all have used to help strengthen your logical reasoning understanding? My goal is to break into the mid or high 150's (those are the scores I need to apply to my top schools and applying next cycle is not an option for me). Please give me strategies to make this a reality.

Is there anything I should do to prep myself for the change of LSAT format from a written test to a tablet test?

I have been doing preptests by only having scrap sheets to write on,

I’ve heard that the LSAT has gotten harder over the years to keep up with all the increased LSAT prep resources that are now available. My test scores seem to reflect that. I scored a 177 on PT 44 after only a week of studying logic games and another 177 on PT 52 after a month of going to an LSAT prep class. But on the recent PTs, 70 and up, my scores ranged from 170-174. I took the September LSAT (Saturday Observant) and scored a 173. Granted I haven’t put the time and effort into studying that I should have but I expected that I would be able to get close to my original score on PTs 44 and 52 especially after months of studying(albeit light). Any thoughts?

Where i can get practice test book or written materials with answers explanation

I've signed up for the November LSAT but haven't done any PTs in the 80s recently (I did 83 and 84 a long time ago). So for I'm only up to PT 77. Are there any noticeable differences between these two sets?

Hi, sagers. When I took the digital LSAT in July, we weren't given stylus pens, so I wrote a note to LSAC and they agreed to send their own note to any school I apply to saying the test center made a mistake, and I felt good about that because I did end up canceling my score. But yesterday, we started 2 hours after the ticket time (how much is reasonable to expect? 2 hours seems excessive and it did make me a ton more anxious) and then had a false start: The director said, "OK, we will now begin the tutorial. Please press start." We pressed start and the real test began! So we lost about 30 seconds because people were yelling, "Wait, this is the real test! Stop it! Start it over!" and whatnot. There was also an incessant squeaking/beeping noise in the room near my desk, which I mentioned to administrators, but they couldn't figure out what was causing it. So at the end, one of the administrators told me that they will be sending a note to LSAC about the delay and the false start. He also told said they'd send another note that I specifically was distracted by a noise they couldn't stop. My question is, do I follow that up with another complaint e-mail to LSAC today or do I just leave it alone? I wouldn't want admissions people to think I'm a "problem test taker" or a complainer! But I do think there's a discrepancy between the test experience I've anticipated and paid money for and the actual experience I've had. Thank you for reading and pretty please advise if you have an informed opinion on this! #help

Greetings!

With the advent of the test being entirely digital now, is it possible for the proctor recording to be integrated with the digital tester? That way you don't have to have the app running in parallel?

Thanks!

Hey guys, I was just wondering if I am signed up for January 2020 and will maybe take future LSAT's after that date, should I only be doing time practice tests under "Digital" conditions? No more paper and pencil practice exams? Just wanted to get some ideas from everyone out there? Thanks

Dear 7 sage community,

I am a last semester senior graduating at the end of this semester. Currently I am going to purchase the CAS but if I send in my transcripts now they will be devoid of my last semester of grades which will bring up my UGPA a bit. Do I wait until the end of the semester or does LSAC update these stats?

After sitting for the October LSAT, I took the LSAT writing portion the following day. Upon re-reading it after its recent approval, I am worried that because I made some grammatical and phrasing mistakes, it will impact how schools view my application. I am registered for Nov. 25, but want to send my apps off as soon as possible. If I do retake, is it worth postponing my apps for roughly one week to have a better piece of writing sent to the schools? Does it replace the current one on file? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! This school is my top choice right now. Is anyone planning to attend in the Summer or Spring? I know that at this school you can basically apply whatever semester you deem best, but just curious is anyone is applying to non traditional semesters.

Are they better to send sooner or later? I plan on applying for fall 2021, and I am about half way thru my graduate program. I have a 3.94 GPA. I know graduate transcripts aren't really weighed much but would rather have them see this number than a lower one.

Suggestions??

Hi my name is Mark, I'm the father of a cute 1 year old, married and I work full time in the Army. I'm asking for something really unlikely but hey it's worth a shot :) I'm looking for a tutor who can help me for free via the messaging system here on 7S or communicate through non-live chat, mainly due to my constantly changing military and family obligations. I'm PT'ing at about 160, BR'ing in the low 170's and I have an intense drive to hit that 170!! :D I wake up early to study before work, study over lunch, and I hit the library after work if my wife has a handle on the crazy 1 year old. I really want to go to Stanford or Harvard and I know I can do it!!! I just need a little help to get there.

I'm taking the November LSAT but I plan on taking at least 2 more LSATs next spring and summer.

Currently I need the most help with descriptive weakening, necessary assumption, parallel flawed method of reasoning, and most strongly supported. I totally suck at LG but I'm working through foolproofing and my RC is usually -7.

Any tips / help is much appreciated and if someone is willing to help out or give tutoring a shot, I'd absolutely appreciate it. Thanks :)

Hello 7Sage Community,

I just wanted some feedback doing problem sets. I have the Ultimate+ package and so I have all of the problem sets but would you recommend doing all of the problem sets or save some so that you may come back to certain question types you are struggling with so you can drill them?

Slogged on LSAT for a long time many years ago on PAPER and took it on paper. Had a tough time even on paper with 35 min time.

I hear it's now changed to DIGITAL.

Can't imagine how much worse it gets on DIGITAL.

Those who have seen both and did 99% percentile score, how bad or good is the new format?

Were you scoring the same on Paper vs Digital?

Does anyone know where to find more recent tablet stimulated lsats ? I’ve gone through all of 7Sage’s and want more recent test if possible! Thanks in advance

Holidays are coming up, testing a while from now, was going to take a short break perhaps a few days during Christmas so was wondering what was the bare minimum to not get worse on the test?

Would you recommend just taking a few days completley off or doing just like one hour a day of games or something

Would love to hear feedback from folks who have been here before...I am applying this cycle for Fall 2020 start. I’ll be 30 when I do start and prefer not to delay applying any longer (military background) and really want to start on this next phase of my life becoming a lawyer.

I took in 2016 and scored a 161. I took the July and canceled after I scored a 157. After a lot of time and studying I was PTing 164-168 fairly consistently. Yesterday’s test felt more difficult for me but not enough to cancel. I honestly don’t know where it will fall though; gut feel is on the lower end but fingers crossed.

Because I have the July cancel, I have a voucher for a free retake. Should I sign up for January and if November comes back with a score I can be ok with, I could just not take January? I have almost all of my application materials complete besides a couple LORs and school specific essays. I am likely going to apply to GULC early decision. My plan was to hit send on apps before the new year. If I wait till January then I’m delaying that by at least 6 weeks and applying late in the game. Scholarships are not really a priority, just desire getting into the best school I can to go into BigLaw.

Also, last but not least...I really don’t have the willpower or desire to push myself like I did from July to November. I had mixed emotions leaving the test, but the good was all to do with being done and moving on. However I also recognize I let the pressure get to me more than it should have on this test and I could do better. Any thoughts or stories for perspective would be helpful!

Hi. My name is Juan and I'm starting this new discussion in hopes of connecting with others that suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder and are taking the LSAT with accommodations. If there is anyone in the community that would like to share their experiences, tips or support on how to succeed on the LSAT while having this disorder, I and I'm sure many other will appreciate it. Thanks!

Juan

Any helpful tips for LR? I miss questions and then when I look at it a second time I know the right answer without looking at what I chose etc and get them all right. Not sure if pressure is playing a part in this or what the hell is going on.

nevermind
