see above

Highly doubt anyone would have this info but what is the average distribution of questions based on level of difficulty per section. For example (average 3 level 5s on LR, or 80% level 3 or below on LR).

I didn’t see this information on any of the forums I’d scoured before my FLEX exam yesterday so I thought I’d share my misfortune in hopes someone else can avoid my fate.

If you have a Surface Pro with a detachable keyboard you’ll lose all keyboard functionality once ProctorU takes over your computer. I found this out the hard way when none of my highlight or underline tools worked during RC. You can use your finger, but you have to uncheck the tool before you scroll the screen with your finger otherwise it’ll highlight the entire passage.

Cost me 15 mins trying to get the proctor to pause my exam while we figured out the problem. Either plan on not highlighting/underlining anything, or borrow a different computer.

So I have been studying for a few mmonths and just finished the core curriculum and I was wondering whether I should use all of the preptests or not. I have considered that I may have to take the LSAT a second time and was wondering whether I should leave a few of the preptests in pristine condiditon for potential later studying? for people who have taken a second LSAT what did you do and what would you recomend in studying for the first one and potentially for a second one

Hello 7sagers!

I've recently started studying for the LSAT and with a low diagnostic score of 140, I have created a time - line for myself to study for at least 6 months - 1 year, in order to improve to a 170. I do realize that a 30 pt jump is incredibly rare, but I am the type of individual who has never been naturally talented, but rather was able to succeed because of my work - ethic. I ended high school with a 2.1 GPA and now towards the end of my undergraduate career, I've maintained a 4.0 GPA at my university, which I accredit to my work - ethic.

I wanted to reach out and ask the members of 7sage about how to approach preparing for the exam. I have purchased various course material that I want to use, but I do not know the best way in tackling the various LSAT prep material that I have compiled for myself. I am currently studying the LSAT Trainer and using the 8 - week plan listed on his website, which I plan to have finished by the end of this July. I also have purchased the PowerScore Bibles, as well as the 7sage course in order to help improve my score, but I do not know how to incorporate both of them into my study schedule, after completing the LSAT Trainer.

Beginning in August, I will be able to transition fully into the 7sage CC , after completing the LSAT trainer, but I also would like to complete the PowerScore Bibles as well. I wanted to know how to tackle the situation, since I plan on taking the LSAT in December as a flex, and taking it again next June to apply for the next cycle. I would truly appreciate any feedback provided and would be extremely grateful for the help that I receive!

*I also study for 25 - 30 hours a week, as it was recommended by anyone trying to seriously improve their score and take a day off to prevent burn out.

Hello everyone!

I'm in my third year of undergrad and planning to do two more years to improve my gpa. I have never written the LSAT before and have registered for August 29 2020! I'm only taking one course this summer and thus, I thought it would be a good time to study for the LSAT The issue is, I have now(unfortunately) planned a routine for both (lSAT and the course) and I fear I don't have enough time to study for it. I also registered for August because I plan on taking 4/5 courses in the fall (although the LSAT date is during the fall break) and I was planning to register for 7sage to study for the lSAT on August 29. I'm conflicted between the two and was wondering which one is more beneficial?

Hey everyone, I've been noticing in PTs that my second LR section score is significantly lower than the first LR section. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get past it? Unfortunately, I feel like I mentally check out by the time I get to the second LR section because I just want it to be over with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because it's really bringing my PT scores down.

I'm confused as to why we ruled out spent fuel rods on the basis that they never contain "significant" quantities of tellurium isotopes? In the first sentence of the stimulus, it just states that they found "radioactive isotopes of iodine, tellurium, and cesium" which doesn't mention the quantity so I'm confused as to why J.Y rules out fuel rods for that reason? There could be SOME tellurium, just not significant amount.

Does anyone have any idea how many words the writing sample should be?

Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to actually take an LSAT Flex? I am schedule to take the exam in August (guessing it will probably be a Flex), but absolutely cannot do this in my house as there are way too many distractions. I was thinking about getting a hotel room. Would love to hear what others have done in June - or are planning to do in July.

Hey guys, I assume October will still be flex and I generally do my PT's on a tablet but am now trying to do them on a computer to practice for flex. the only issue I have is that I can't highlight using the lsat prep plus website on the computer. how should I prepare?

Hello,

I am new to 7sage and plan on writing the november 2020 LSAT. I am looking for some guidance or precedence on how to effectively use the study schedule provided by 7sage. Currently, If I begin tomorrow, the recommended hours per week are 46 and that seems to be quite a bit. If that is not doable, are there any suggestions on how to make my own schedule?

Hi Everyone! I'm fairly new to the law school admissions process, so I need advice on which test I should take (Aug or Oct)? There are two parts to my question:

First, my goal is to get into a T14 school. When looking into their admissions, most of them open on Sept. 1 and some of them are rolling. For this reason, I feel that waiting for the Oct LSAT may be too late to be strongly considered at a T14 school. I am I wrong in thinking this? Could I wait until the Oct LSAT and still be a strong competitor at a T14?

Second, how do schools feel about applicants taking the LSAT twice? I am worried I will not be ready to score a ~170 by Aug 29, but it is possible since I will have a decent amount of prep in by then. Does taking the test twice look bad, especially if you score the same or worse the second time (this is a common concern w/ GMAT)?

Background on my prep process: I started prepping in mid-June and have logged about 30 hrs, I recently took my first PT and scored a 155 under normal test conditions and a 163 with an additional ~10 mins on each section, I have a FT job where I work 45 hrs/week, but am on track to log 150 hrs of LSAT prep by Aug 29.

Very thankful for any advice!!!

Hi,

I applied to a school before getting my LSAT score. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with how long it usually takes for LSAC to send your completed report to schools?

Thanks!

For those of you who have closed a large BR gap. How did you do it? currently scoring around 157 timed and BR around 164/165. I obviously need to do more PTs. Would love to score at my BR level lol. Generally feel like under timed, my brain doesn't catch on as quickly and effectively. I'm starting to recognize some patterns here and there in LR and RC. Questions 1-18 on LR, I can do them fairly easily (though not with perfect accuracy, again my brain just doesn't register as quickly under timed, but when I'm BR-ing, i'm like how did i miss that). It's the questions near the end, they just really eat me up. Tips welcomed!

Also any tips on improving RC?

Looking for any success stories/general tips as a guide. Thanks!

Actual:

LR: -8 to -10 per section

RC -9

LG -5 to -7

BR:

LR -5 to -7 per section

RC -5

LG -1 to perfect

Hello All!

I am considering applying for accommodations based on severe panic attacks that I often get while testing (in addition to other situations). I have a few questions regarding the requirements:

Question 1: Do I need an official diagnosis?

My primary doctor has been treating my condition. She understands that I have General Anxiety and panic attacks, but she has never given me an official diagnosis. Instead, she just keeps refilling/monitoring my two prescriptions—one for the general anxiety and one for the acute panic attacks.

Do you think that I could get accommodations without a diagnosis based on a letter from my primary doctor supporting my request? Or, is an official diagnosis necessary?

If it helps, I also have a therapist who has been treating me and she has agreed to write a letter on my behalf.

Question 2: Is a diagnosis from a Psychiatrist better than a diagnosis from a Psychologist?

If I do end up needing an official diagnosis, does it matter whether I have one from a Psychologist VS a Psychiatrist? Do you think that either of them might be seen as more authoritative?

Thank you all in advance for any input!

When is the next one - will there be one before the July test?????

I recently completed the core curriculum and decided to take PT 36 completely untimed. I scored a 172, and although I know this is not indicative how I will perform under actual testing conditions, does anyone have tips on how to improve timing? I am aiming to hit the 170+ range timed by the end of August (not sure if this is reasonable).

Hi Guys,

I am currently at the exact 50% mark of the core curriculum, which is right in the middle of the NA problem sets, and I have a test date booked for August. I am wondering if it is most beneficial to finish the core curriculum before starting PTs (I have only done one full test, the diagnostic, thus far). Thanks for your opinion!

The internal mic on my computer doesn't work. Does anyone know whether or not it'll be okay for me to use the mic on my earbuds to talk with the proctor, or do I need another kind of external mic that doesn't involve having earbuds in? Thanks!

Anyone having this issue?

Is it possible to enable analytics for problem sets?

Has anyone taking Blueprint's Live Online Course? How does it compare to 7Sage? Is it worth it?

I already registered for October. But since this won’t count to the yearly limit and we can cancel our score, should I just try it? It can help me with experiencing the Flex first hand and i might even get a decent score. What do you guys think?

I am currently going through the core curriculum but I was wondering should I be taking PT's while going through the curriculum or wait until I finish it?
