I’m not sure when I should write the Lsat? I’m working full time and my aim is 2 hours a day (14 hours a week). I was aiming for April, and I would be able to take two weeks off ahead of the test. Or should I aim for June in which case I could probably take closer to 2 months off?

Or should I write in April, and keep peeping for June while waiting for the result?

Thoughts….

Hi all,

Any advice or strategies people have undertaken when hitting score plateau, specifically for RC or LR? I consistently hit mid 160s when doing PTs but have been stuck there for weeks now. I already have LG pretty much down (average only 1 wrong) but can't seem to improve on the other two sections. I'm signed up for the October exam and would like to improve by around 5+ points. Really appreciate any help!

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?

My question concerns the lsac fee waiver. I should be approved without any trouble but I am having the hardest time getting my non filing form from the IRS. I have faxed them the request form and also called a couple times and still no luck. I would normally just wait and not be so anxious but my account is on hold due to it and with scores coming out thos week I really don't want to be stuck SOL waiting for the IRS to mail me the info LSAC requested. Do you guys know if it's possible to cancel the fee waiver to not have my account on hold and see my scores and then re submit it afterward to still receive the fee waivers? Any help is appreciated! Thank yo

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've finally managed to get my accuracy down (the score that I'd like to get in each section untimed) but am having a hard time transferring that over to timed sections and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how long it took for you to get your time down.

It's really frustrating and it doesn't help that I'm a risk adverse test taker!!!

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!

Random post echoing other's thoughts about these last few dates of waiting for scores. I never thought I would say this but I don't know what I would be doing if it weren't for exams. I just realized that if I wasn't being forced to study pretty much all the time for these midterms, I don't think I could stand this last stretch of waiting. Sure, comparative political economy may sound boring at first glance, but it's a heck of a lot better than nervously fretting over something I can't change.

Anyways, back to studying I go (Thursday come faster).

Hi everyone. As i got closer to test day my scores kind of dipped for various reasons. Also i had struggled with timing for most of my process especially in RC and LG(for some reason). Timing was the biggest deterrent to my score, and so i attempted some tweaks that seem to have helped me out (along with a lot of repetition in LG types and RC sections). For the Logic games i started doing the 3rd game first, then the fourth, then the second, the thirst. This is risky for multiple reasons, but I havent struggled to finish a section since i picked it up, and my accuracy is usually -0. The RC solution is really a suggestion predicated on my experience and that is trying to answer most questions without referring back to the passage. I realize this may seem obvious and a lot of you probably do this already, but i realized that i spent way too much time trying to verify answers that i suspected to be right, in most cases, if im not sure, i eliminate wrong answers and go with my hunch and comeback to it later if time allows. All in all im sure this isnt too enlightening. Anybody else have any last second tweaks? and Good luck to Sept LSAT takers and future LSAT takers in general.

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.

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.

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.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Upcoming LSAT Dates

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! 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.

Does anyone have experience with or advice for a long wait between check-in and the start time of the test? I'm expecting issues due to a bunch of road closures near my testing center because of a marathon in the same area. I've been practicing getting up at 6:30 and taking a test at 9, but now I'm wondering if I should practice getting up at 6:30, staring at a wall for an hour and taking a test at 10, ha.

I'm mainly concerned with keeping up my intensity for a long period of time without my iPod or total freedom of movement.

I hit the 25th percentile of LSAT but am in the 75th percentile of UGPA. What would be an appropriate reach up from my 25th% LSAT to apply? Ex 155 and 3.75. How many points up should I reach for in the 25th % LSAT schools?
