Hi all.

I need some advice with my study plan.

I have recently finished CC after 5 months of studying; I was only able to study 3 hours daily since I work full time.

Currently I manage to do the 1 or 2 PT(s) per week;

I understand that I would need to focus on Pting with more later version as nearing the actual Test date.

But I wonder if it makes much change(ie. starting from old Pts vs. skip old Pts, use it only for drilling and do newer Pts) at this stage because I presume that whether those PTs are old or new, they are testing the same fundamentals/principles.

Any suggestions?

I would appreciate any advice/comment.

Hi everyone! I'm not sure what to do about this, so hoping maybe someone else has experienced the same issue. I haven't been able to use the search function in Lawhub for a long time, and it didn't work on my June test (didn't submit for a retake, I didn't realize I could). The highlight function also often hits the wrong words, which takes even longer to get through RC. Has anyone else has this happen, and how did you fix it?

Thank you!!

I have been struggling with timing and anxiety with the clock running, which I feel like is developing because I keep over thinking even the simplest of problems. I recently took a preptest and got a 161 timed and my blind review was a 171. Pretty big difference, and proud of myself for the blind review score. Most of my mistakes come from logical reasoning. I actually usually have about 1 1/2 minutes at the end of each section.

Any tips on how to learn how to close this gap that have worked for you guys?

I want to start taking PT but don't know where to start. I noticed that drill questions are taken from PT1-35... do people normally even use these as PT or start from PT36?

Thanks!

Hey Everyone!

LSAC has provided updates on the following:

◉Limits on Repeating the LSAT

LSAC has introduced a new test-taking limit policy starting in August 2023. This change, however, will only impact a small group—less than 1% of all LSAT takers. Under this new policy, you can take the LSAT five times in the current score reporting period (i.e., since June 2018) and up to seven times over a lifetime.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Limits on Repeating the Test

◉LSAT Test Taking Schedule

As you may know, there were difficulties with remote proctoring during the first weekend of the August LSAT. To make up for it, LSAC added an extra testing day for the September LSAT. They've also introduced two additional testing dates each for both October and November this year. These additions won't impact the score release.

Hi,

Is there a way to make drills based off of questions you got wrong in previous drills? I only saw the option to compile questions you got wrong during previous practice tests, not drills themselves.

Thanks.

Hi I'm looking for a study buddy maybe someone that goes to Florida Atlantic University. I'm good at games and reading comprehension just need help with lr. If your struggling with games or the reading comp I can help you and vice versa. If interested just inbox me thanks.

I scored a 158 on my August LSAT. It was about what I was scoring at the time I honestly expected to score worse, but I am aiming to score in the low 160's by October. Is it possible to increase by at least 5 points by October? I'm trying to figure out a better study schedule for the month that is not so grueling, I studied 6 days a week about 7 hours from June to August. Any helpful advice or tips would be lovely.

i was all the way through the old core curriculum when the new version of 7sage came out with all the new prep tests. i have been testing from pt 36 all the way up to pt 61 using the old format but now i want to take pt62-pt94 using the new preptests. however, it doesnt look like the new preptests work that way. would it be okay for me to just continue taking 3 sections of pt 62-94, while adding on an old section for each preptests myself? i like doing the prep tests sequentially, like 62, 63, 64 , 65 etc. i also like how jy ping adds commentary every 4 or 5 prep tests using students live takes and i dont want to lose that.

for someone who has been prep testing sequentially all the way since pt 36, how can i continue to do this while also adding in a 4th section in the most realistic way possible? thank you

I am just now attempting to lock into 7Sage, so where do I begin? I have done test prep before but the specific test prep didn't work well for me. I am a bit overwhelmed about 7Sage's study schedule it created me because I have no idea where the drilling and the full practice test come into the study schedule. For context, I am a full time college student who is heavily involved in extracurricular as well. Any help or mock study schedules would be so helpful!

I am currently working on writing my personal statement and I am not a great writer, at all!! I have heard many ways to go about topics to discuss, what to include, and what not to include.

Can someone offer any help or advice?!? Possible proofreading and provide unbiased feedback?

Does anyone have any reviews about this place? I just signed up to take the June LSAT there and I'm a little nervous because I have never heard of the place before. Thank you in advance!

Would someone with experience be willing to review my PTs with me to help strategize where I should focus moving forward? I'm planning on taking the test in January and February.

Hi folks,

I just finished the foundational course. For some of the lessons, I took it very seriously and tried to master it but then I went a bit faster and was not matriculate so I think I still need to master it or come back to it. Should I move onto the LR lessons and come back to the foundational course later or when I need to? or should I try to revise and nail it down before moving to LR.

Thanks!

Basically what the title says. Due to the nature of the environment I study in and I would prefer to read a written explanation for wrong answers. Is this an option on 7S? I know it is on other platforms but for some reason I cannot find a written explanation for answers on here.

TIA!

I am still 145-150 range and I want to get a 170 for November lsat. is it possible can you give me some studying tips and strategies for logical reasoning and reading comprehension. I feel like its not hard but sometimes I come down to 2 answers and choose the wrong one and be like shit.

Hi all,

I took the December LSAT this past Saturday and as soon as my first section started, two people in my class realized they were in the wrong room (they needed to be in the room giving them extra accommodations), so there was a loud commotion for a good 10 minutes as they were trying to figure things out, all while the timer was running. Pretty sure it docked a good few points for me... I get it, stuff happens. Just bummed that it had to happen in my room on what I was hoping would be my first and only take... I contacted LSAC and they said if I moved forward with the complaint, it'd delay my receipt of my scores for 2+ weeks so I'm thinking it's not worth it to pursue, as I'm already on the later end of the rolling application process.

That being said, if I were to explain what happened on an additional addendum, do you think law schools would just perceive it as a sissy excuse? I'm probably retaking in February but some of the schools I'm applying to don't accept the February LSAT.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I started studying for the LSAT a couple weeks ago. I first used Khan Academy, then started using the Kaplan book, and after a couple recommendations from friends, have made it to 7sage. I am planning to take the LSAT in the October administration giving 10-11 more weeks of studying.

I'm trying to make sense of the difference in allotted study time between Kaplan and 7sage. Kaplan seemed to think it was perfectly reasonable to spend 2-3 months studying and hit your goal with 15-20 hours per week. 7sage prescribes as much as a year! Right now, the study calendar is prescribing me 40+ hours per week. Can someone explain why there's such a big difference between Kaplan and 7sage? Will I be okay taking the LSAT in October? How can I adjust the tools 7sage offers?

Should I be taking practice tests as I complete the modules? I feel like going 6 weeks without taking a practice test is really long.

How do we study for the new LSAT if we don’t want to “contaminate” the prep tests by running into problems that we already solved by following the study schedule provided by 7sage? I want to solve practice problems, but am afraid that I would remember the answers for the questions when i’m taking the PTs in the future…

Date Taken: Dec. 2nd, 2017

Proctors: Really great. Timing was perfect. I had a watch that I started as soon as the proctor started and they were correct on timing down to the second. It's mostly law students (we had four in our room) with an administrator over-seeing all four rooms.

Facilities: FSU College of Law.

What kind of room: Large, lecture-style classroom. They had four rooms, broken down by last name. Very well organized and easy to find.

How many in the room: 50ish

Desks: Those long, connected desks. Plenty of room. I was spread out and never ran into the girl beside me. They put one seat between each test.

Left-handed accommodation: Maybe? I'm a lefty and was placed in the last seat on the left hand side (so no risk of me hitting another student) but that might have just been a coincidence. It really wasn't needed.

Noise levels: Very quiet. I was a little concerned about the break, but it seems like all the rooms got out at right at the same time.

Parking: Horrible. It was game day. The civic center and a parking garage were open--for $10, but I didn't have my wallet. They didn't reserve any parking for test takers. So I had to park on street parking a good two/three blocks away and run. Get there with PLENTY of time. Parking was the most stressful part of the test for me; I was the last one in the room because it took so long to find parking

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Checked in was closed at 8:30 (I think that I checked in at 8:29 haha). With instructions and everything I think we started around 9:15. Very quick.

Irregularities or mishaps: 0. They knew what they were doing and were very professional.

Other comments: There was a clock at the front of the room, but it happened to not be visible from where I sat. There was also one at the back. They didn't "reset" the clocks, so be prepared to bring your own watch if you need to check the time remaining. Temperature was fine, no issues there. The lines for the bathroom (specifically girls) was horrendous because they started out by making the ~125 girls use only the three-stall bathroom on the lower level. And all the rooms took break at the same time. The head proctor did decide it was okay for us girls to go upstairs to the 2nd floor bathroom, which alleviated the line a little bit. I'm just glad I was one of the first up there otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat my snack.

Would you take the test here again? Yup! Great testing environment. Next time I would get there quite a bit earlier however due to parking.

Looking for a few study partners, can be from anywhere, as I prefer zoom (I plan to take the LSAT in October 2024).

so i'm aware there are a few older posts on here about this topic, but was hoping that someone could chime in with new advice...

i'm averaging around 170-173 on blind review pts, and about 92-100% on RC and LR drills with 25 questions/4 passages (sometimes ~88% for the harder ones). however, my scores before blind review tend to hover around 165-67. i know that these are, by no means, bad scores, but i do want a higher score on the actual lsat (sept 2024).

my biggest problem for rc is that i tend to miss essential parts of the passage (that i do not realize are essential until i get to the questions), and end up having to a) go way over time or b) only get to thoroughly read the passage during blind review.

for lr, i panic about the time and end up not selecting an answer i'm confident with until blind review.

i know that comparing timed/untimed scores is one of the main goals of blind review, so i guess i'm also just asking about how to balance time and thoroughness.

i don't know if i need to just keep drilling (though i feel like i'm burning through questions and pts) or if there's some other trick!!

any tips would be appreciated :)

Do you guys suggest taking PT while progressively working through the syllabus or after I have covered all the course concepts and lessons?

just wondering if I'm missing it or its just not there
