Is the core course of $69 really enough to help me prep for the LSAT or should I be implementing something more?
I recently took a PT and as I was taking a LR section, the AC's were invisible and one was marked "Question removed from test" - is there a reason for this?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of some legal studies or law related masters programs/certificate programs off the top of their heads? Since I'm writing the LSAT in June now and won't be able have my score added to my applications for this year, I'm looking for something to do during the year instead of just waiting around for my acceptances to come. I've got a really great resume with some awesome extracurriculars and work experience already. I would highly prefer for the program to be in a distance studies format (online)! Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.
So far all I've come up with is this: http://www.extension.harvard.edu/degrees-programs/master-liberal-arts/fields-concentration/legal-studies
hello, i got a 146 on my lsat and i was wondering if i should just cancel it or keep it ? Im trying to get in the high 150s which i believe i can achieve by the next LSAT exam i take .
Please leave your telegram and/or line ID and I can sort a group chat together. Thanks!
You must be registered for an upcoming test in order to start the accommodations request process.
You'll need to submit two forms: Candidate Form and a Qualified Professional Form
You submit and wait to get an email. If you submit both forms it's very likely you'll be granted all accommodations you request.
Hope this helps!
Hi All! Fairly silly question but I was wondering what exactly the test format looks like for the official LSAT. When doing practice questions you can chose between 7sage format or standard format - is the standard one comparable to the actual format on the test? I read somewhere that when you're taking the LSAT for RC that there's a function that allows you to search words in the passage is this true? Additionally if anyone with insights could tell me about the paper and pencil format of the test that would be super helpful too. Thanks!
I apologize in advance if this has been addressed already, but I see that the Core Curriculum content has increased in hour to 165 hrs. Is it because the course has split the practice questions in each lessons or are there new materials that I need to review?
Thanks for the advise in advance.
Proctors: Pretty good overall. Stuck to time, no errors with the alarm (had my own watch so it wasn't really an issue). Friendly and gave clear instructions. Had spare pencils as well.
Facilities: Excellent. This looks like a relatively new building and was very clean. Plenty of bathrooms/water fountains.
What kind of room: Classroom lecture style, seats 100+.
How many in the room: 40ish or so.
Desks: 5 or 6 feet long desks, plenty of space. Chairs are steel case office type chairs (these are around $750 retail) with a lot of options for adjustment.
Left-handed accommodation: Not applicable since these are desks.
Noise levels: none. Room appears to have some sort of noise dampening material, no windows in the room so I assume it wasn't facing street or anything.
Parking: Unknown. Looks like there were some street level parking. I took public transit.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: 10 mins or so from advertised start time to actual start time (getting people seated, in the right place etc).
Irregularities or mishaps: none
Other comments: The room I took the test in was very bright; however it was slightly warm and I rather have it a bit colder since you can layer up.
Would you take the test here again? No -- because it is too far from where I live, nothing wrong with the place though.

20 something

Long table with 2 or 3 people, plenty of room and comfortable chairs

Seems to be that I am getting the most points off because of my lack of good timing. Does anyone have recommendations on how I can improve this? I want to take the LSAT in June before LG is gone, being that LG is my best section.
Proctors: Totally kickass! These people are freaking ON POINT. Everything is organized. Rules are all set up. Start to finish setup takes only 45 minutes or so. SO AWESOME!
Facilities: Great. Newish conference center that is not part of the college but rented out to businesses for conferences and whatnot.
What kind of room: Conference hall. Quiet, friendly, great large cushy desk chairs. Plenty of space.
How many in the room: I counted. It was only about 40 or so.
Desks: You are seated at a table, not tiny desks. You have as much room as you need. They seat you with alternating enormous cushy desk chairs, so I could literally have everything all spread out on the desk in front of me.
Left-handed accommodation: I didn't need it, but there would have been no problem for a lefty since the desk goes all the way in front of you.
Noise levels: No problem. The room has very dampened acoustics.
Parking: I didn't drive, but MCCC has plenty of parking. Shouldn't be a problem for anybody.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: 45 minutes. I arrived pretty much at 9:30.
Irregularities or mishaps: None.
Other comments:
I literally sent this exact email to the head of the test center after my test:
Just wanted to thank you guys for being such awesome LSAT proctors! You guys make the test peaceful and low-stress and everything is on point!
Would you take the test here again? I did. And I should point out that I chose not to take it at the test center where I took my first of 3 tests. Instead I traveled 300 miles north to go specifically MCCC. I can't overstate how awesome this test center is!

I am currently studying in China for a year and planning to take the LSAT in April. I cannot find much information about this on the website but I was wondering if the test is being administered at test centers in Beijing. If not, how is the platform accessible remotely given the restrictions on google and similar websites? Has any of you taken it in China?
Any advice would be helpful!
Hey! Perhaps a silly question, but is there a tool on the drills page to draw things out for LR questions? I have been searching for a pen tool to map things out, but I only have access to highlighters.
The proctor was really good, spoke slowly, and made sure everyone was ready. She didn't rush the test, but gave us a second before starting the timer again before the start of each new section. From time of arrival to test, it took about half an hour to have everything in working order. Everything was in good order, the the room had good lighting and space. The only problem I had was that the clock was too far away for me to be able to tell the time, which was a bit of a disadvantage for me especially since I didn't have an analog watch. There were around 40 people taking the test in that room, and more desks which were relatively comfortable. There weren't any left handed accommodations, they were standard wooden desks separated from each other. Noise level was perfect, nothing disturbing. The college is really really big so hard to find your way around, especially when I went in September 2014, when there was almost no one to ask for directions. There was plenty of parking space. It was a little far for me to get there from Milton, but if it were close by I could definitely test there again in the same environment.
Hello,
I was wondering what the 8 digit HTML keycode is on the ProctorU system checkup? Is that the same thing as the LSAC account number?
Thank you very much.
Proctors: professional, efficient, courteous
What kind of room: small lecture hall. no windows. tiered seating. good temperature ~72
How many in the room: probably over 100 available seats but around 30 of us were spaced nicely throughout the room
Desks: frustratingly small flip desks. had trouble keeping all belongings (watch, pencils, etc) on the table comfortably. half the test booklet was hanging off the desk the entire time....pencils kept falling off... extremely distracting and annoying.
Left-handed accommodation: yes
Noise levels: very quiet
Parking: free across the street from the business building
Time elapsed from arrival to test: prompt, no irregularities
Would you take the test here again? i would not take it again at melcher hall because the desks were a deal breaker. however, if it weren't for that i definitely would recommend taking it at UH because the rest of the experience (proctors, noise, parking, bathrooms) were all exceptional.

Double post, ignore.
New York 7Sagers!
A group of NY based 7sagers have arranged to take practice tests on Saturday mornings from now until the December test. I've been planning on doing those tests, but they are in midtown and would require me to get a much earlier start than I'll actually need on test day. I figured we may have enough Brooklyn 7sagers to organize BK practice tests for Saturdays. Anyone interested in joining me for a group practice test on an upcoming Saturday? I've been taking my practice tests in the quiet study area of the Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn Public Library but am willing to relocate!
I have only taken a few PTs. I only have two weeks before my LSAT (I know, I am cramming and it is not ideal at all). Should I take the newest PTs then BR them? I would assume that it won't do me much good to take the oldest ones?
Realistically, I will probably only be able to get through 3-5 PTs between now and then.
I saw only one review. And it mentioned long tables, however, in Angell Hall there are only the little pop-up tables. How will this work for the digital LSAT?
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!!!
Senior year of high school I took classes through a local community college for high school and college credit. Should I include this on my resume? The transcript is included in my academic summary report and it was only 18 credit hours. Also, not sure if this has an impact but after this I transferred to another community college to get my AA before transferring for my BA and I've included both of these institutions. Is a third too much? Thanks!
Could also be a group. Hoping to take the June LSAT.
