Proctors: Between seven and ten

Facilities: Like the rest room? Perfectly adequate.

What kind of room: It was a vast, high ceiling conference room with retractable walls, all retracted, so we were in Navesink I, II, and III. Large windows facing a forested scene.

How many in the room: 60-80

Desks: Long, comfortable, widely spaced. I could stretch my legs in a V and my legs were still under my desk. Much more comfortable than what I was practicing on.

Left-handed accommodation: I don't think a left handed person would experience a problem.

Noise levels: Low. I heard almost nothing.

Parking: Parking isn't a problem anywhere in Monmouth County, NJ.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Probably a full hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: I noticed several rule violations that there didn't seem to be an enforcement mechanism against. No one checked my watch and on the break I noticed at least six students had left their watches on the desks but they were LSAT Chronometers, and pretty clearly so. Just said 1-35 on the face. Kind of a relief actually, here I was worried a Palomnio Blackwing 602 was not a permitted pencil. Probably a problem intrinsic to large sessions in general.

Other comments: Very convenient coat rack offered before the door! Though I saw one guy get refused the opportunity to use the bathroom prior to the test just because he had presented his ID at the check in desk. Seems to me like they might as well have told him to leave. I don't see how he was "checked in" having not entered the room.

Would you take the test here again? Definitely!

I currently work at a small law office in NYC. A couple of weeks ago, I got accepted into my dream law school and will be enrolling for fall 2025 so my position will be open starting April.

This role is a perfect opportunity for those preparing to go to law school. It is only part-time so you will be able to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials. Additionally, the role leaves a lot of free time during the work day to study for the LSAT or work on other application materials as well. Another amazing thing about this role is that because you are working in a small law office, there is a lot of room for growth and learning. I truly believe this work experience made a difference in my law school application as I had the opportunity to begin drafting legal documents, learned what I liked/did not like about the field, was able to study for the LSAT during work, and got a great recommendation letter from my boss. A huge plus is that the staff are extremely friendly and flexible.

If you applied this cycle but are deciding to take another year off or have not yet applied, this might be a perfect opportunity for you. PM me if you are interested - serious inquiries only please.

Ive taken the time to learn the fundamentals of LR and RC for months. Now I'm drilling non stop based on previous prep test analytics but I'm asking how you to balance studying. Given in a week, approx 4 hrs/daily

Monday- LR specific Q types

Tuesday-LR

Wednesday: RC

Thursday: RC

Friday: LR

Saturday: anything you didn't get done

Sunday: rest

How do you balance RC/LR?

Hi everyone,

Is there an explanation for why the scaled score varies by 1-2 points from the current test format to the obsolete test format, same raw score? This is reflected in the conversion table on 7sage. For example, -5 is a 174 for X modern PT, but 173 for the corresponding obsolete (but modified - LR, LR, RC, no experimental) PT. Presumably, since the same scored sections are tested (given 7Sage modification), the scaled score should be the same, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

I made the mistake of taking a test on LawHub under the current test format and manually inputting the answers in the corresponding obsolete (but modified, no LG) 7Sage test. Two different scaled scores were given, 1 point off. I double checked - exact same scored sections. Is this just a matter of adjusting the scaled scores with removal of LG?

And I assume that I should rely on the current test format's scaled score, correct?

Hi all! I had been consistently scoring between 165-167 on previous PTs before I took the Nov LSAT, and was incredibly disappointed to when I found out I 160 on it. This is my first time using 7sage and I am taking the January LSAT.

How in depth should I be studying each LR question type? I'm finding that doing the lessons don't leave me much time for drilling and I'm not sure how to balance it. Would love some advice on how to use the study plan in tandem with drilling and taking sections!

Thanks :)

Hey everyone,

I just took the LSAT in November and scored a 147. After studying for 5 to 6 months I was pretty bummed by my score. Since then, I've been grinding and have consistently been scoring between 155 and 158 throughout 8 to 9 practice tests. I was wondering what tactic's you used/ what you studied to get from the mid 150's to the low 160's. I'm taking the test in January again in 4 weeks and am wondering if this is even attainable if I put in 40 hours a week studying. Thanks :)

Hi all,

My PT score does not reflect my drill score. I consistently get -0 to -3 on individual LR timed sections (some of these are older tests, some are fairly new). On full PT LR sections, I get around -5/-6, regardless of the order of sections. There have been only a select few times I've gotten -3 or better on LR PTs, but those were a few months ago.

BR score for LR is usually -1/-3, so I don't think it's a lack of comprehension or understanding of the material...

Any tips on getting my PT score to better reflect my drilling score? I suspect it's a matter of PT stress, but are there any other major reasons you think there's a difference that I'm overlooking?

Advice much appreciated, thanks!

PT145 S2 Q24 "Tariffs on particular products tend to protect the small percentage of the population that works in industries that make those products while hurting everyone else through higher costs. Polls show that in fact most people oppose such tariffs. So politicians would be more likely to be reelected if they voted against these tariffs."

Wow. Just wow. LSAT writers having their Simpsons arc predicting the future from all the way back in PT145!!! Let's get some votes against tariffs like the stim says! Regardless of your opinion on the tariff situation, I think this is the most relevant LSAT question to current events I've seen in my time studying.

Hi there!

Looking for others with advanced degrees studying for the June LSAT and aiming for 175+ and top 5 law schools. It'd be good to find other "non-traditional" applicants and keep each other motivated through this long process. Send me a private message. Thanks!

Study tips

When I studied for my nursing boards I would use NCLEX books as I went along and go over my week points. I never did a full test until I went to Kaplan. Should I take the same approach with the LSAT since I am not taking them until June 2018. I bought the Kaplan book and have a few others hoping if I learn the concepts then I can start taking the practice tests later on.

Hey everyone. When do you recommend I register for the June LSAT? I'm not referring to the scheduling "window" that will open around May. I referring to simply signing up to take it before the April 22 deadline. Is there a difference if I register today or, say, 2 weeks from now?

does anyone know how to highlight on the law hub interface? I see the highlighting functions in the top right corner but for some reason when I hold and drag it doesn't highlight. Maybe its just my laptop or maybe im doing it wrong. For those of you who can get it to highlight, are you just holding and dragging?

Thanks in advance!
