What are some trends you noticed, in terms of difficulty, between older and newer PTs? Please specify the ranges. I know that this may be subjective but there also seems to be an agreement that more recent LRs are verbose, in comparison to the older ones, for example. What other trends do you see in LR?

I know that comparative passages were introduced after PT52 - are there other trends in RC that I should be aware of? What about LG?

I look forward to read your comments. Once again, please specify the ranges you are referring to. Thanks in advance!

I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year now and August will be the last time I take it. My $99 Law Hub membership expires in 5 days (It is very annoying that LSAC started making people pay for this last year). Given that I will only be needing to use LSAT material for at most 3 more weeks, I cannot afford to pay another $99 just to stop using 7sage and Law Hub after the August test.

Does anyone have any ideas on if there is any way to only pay a fraction of the $99? I never applied for fee waivers, so I would not be able to get one for the subscription. Any advice is much appreciated!

Hello. I'm looking for an accountability partner. I am planning to take the LSAT in October. Looking for someone that is willing to message daily to keep motivation up. Message me if interested. Thank you!

Hi everyone, any tips for what to focus on for two months of studying?

Hey guys, I just took PT62, which is about my 7th PT I have taken so far, and I scored a 159 (-4 LG, -9 RC, -11 LR) after my diagnostic two months ago of 148. I know that I tanked the LR pretty bad, but just curious as to what everyone's thoughts are on the difficulty level of this test?

160 is where I want to be for the August LSAT next week, so should I be happy about this, or is it considered an easier PT?

Cheers guys!! :)

Hi there,

Does anyone have any tips on how to properly use the Microsoft tablet provided by LSAC?

I am coming to a close on the CC and about to start drilling and taking PTs. Any advice? I'm not really sure where/how to start and any help is very appreciated!

Hi! I am taking the august test using LSAC's loaner tablet. Does anyone have experience taking the test with it? It can both stand or just rest on the table, does the proctor care in terms of how we set it up? I am wondering how the proctor will see me if it's resting on the table. Also can we use ctrl f on this device?

I truly believe I can score a 180 (-0) on this test and want to find a study partner with similar delusions.

Necessary Conditions:

currently in the 170s

looking for a study partner

perfection as your goal

can commit to two zoom meetings a week and honor that commitment

taking the October LSAT

If this is you, send me a pm.

any tips for "except" question types? I feel like I always mess these up because I end up getting confused halfway through and almost forget what I am looking for. I am not fully through the CC yet but JY's current strategy for these seems like it was designed for when the test was taken by hand as opposed to digitally.

I have been taking practice tests for months on an external monitor with my small laptop completely closed. I was told by my proctor that I could not use an external monitor if I was using a laptop no matter if it was closed or not. I called up LSAC while in chat with the proctor and was told the same thing. This killed me, I was super calm before the test but rearranging my workspace and how I interacted with the test was brutal.

I based my assumption that I could use ONE monitor based on https://support.proctoru.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035300212-Multiple-Monitors-Displays page, which is linked from LSAC's website. It says:

"Multiple monitors/displays are not supported. If you have more than one monitor, you will need to disconnect all but one."

Has anyone else run into this problem? Is my interpretation of what I read incorrect? Was anyone else able to use an external monitor for their closed laptops?

Here is an example of ProctorU saying it is allowed! https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/j0cvmu/lsatflex_laptop_and_external_monitor/g6yhvex/

Do you think I have standing to complain to LSAC?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I did a equipment check with ProctorU on Friday and was told everything was fine.

i've been seeing a lot of people's RAM usage higher than the 95% allowed by Proctor U. There are tons of articles on how to reduce your RAM on our computer. These are my go-to tips for a macbook air (intel - but that doesn't matter)

clear browsing data

elipses top right hand corner > settings > clear browsing data

clear chrome task manager

elipses top right hand corner > more tools > task manager > quit any running programs

**** NOT proctor U extension though

hope this helps - good luck!

Anyone had a loaner tablet for online LSAT? If yes, how was the experience and did you encounter any technical difficulties with the loaner?

Thank you

Why isn't there an explanation video for the RC passages on PTB?

I'm averaging 155 and really hoping to break into the lows 160s for the October/November! Running into timing issues for RC , LG averaging -5, and LR averaging -10 lol (need the most help with). I would really like help creating a study schedule for the next 2 months and also like help for improving on these sections efficiently. Please let me know if you guys have any tutor recommendations or are a tutor yourself! Thank you :)

Hey all -

Took the june flex and got a 169 - I'm trying to get into legal academia (PhD in history) so i can only apply top tier essentially, which I'm seeing a 169 does not cut it for. For those who took the test a second time and improved 3-4 points, do you have any tips to make studying more effective? I was PT'ing between 172-178 before the test - the last month before scores declined due to nerves/burnout. Not sure how to avoid this with re-test, and REALLY don't want to devote my life to this cursed test again for nothing. Any help very much appreciated

In need of a tutor more specifically for LR & RC. Please reach out to me if you excel at these portions of the exam and may be open to tutoring

Howdy everyone,

I'm taking in November and probably January. I have access to all LSAC released prep tests but they are in PDF format. I also like the prep test format on Khan Academy. That being said, a few questions...

Let's say my goal score is a 171, and on my last two PTs, I scored a 171 both times, the first with a 173 BR and the second with a 177 BR. At what point is it safe to say I'm PTing my goal range? After 3 PTs with that score (or higher)? After 5?

I believe I have a firm understanding of most underlying concepts to questions/passages at this point in my studies. Although, I might easily be incorrect in that presumption. I have read the LR and LG PowerScore bibles page-for-page. I have completed nearly every educational video in the syllabus for 7Sage. I have read the entirety of Manhattan Prep's RC book. I am kinda stuck on where to go from here. Here are my stats currently, which I am only providing as a basis for how I should study:

Generally LR (-2/-3), LG (-0/-1), and RC (-5/-6).

These stats alone -- I think -- reveal my weakness in RC and a need to really focus on it in the coming days. Are there any suggestion on how I can most effectively improve my score in roughly 30 days? I could still take sections and review normally. I could attempt to pay for a tutor -- albeit I am completely self-supporting in college. Any insight on how to make the next jump would be greatly appreciated!

Did anyone else notice that their mouse and or browser was somewhat laggy during the test? this made it really annoying to highlight things and even press on which answer I was choosing.

I doubt that its due to my computer or internet connection because I am well above average in both of those respects.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm assuming its just a byproduct of being proctored but figured I'd ask.

HI guys,

Do you guys think it would be beneficial to first learn the section and then do practice questions before moving on to the next section. Like should I get the methods down first then practice and do exams or should i get the method down apply it additionally and move on?

Let me know.

Hello everyone, looking for another person or a few people (3-4) to study with for the November exam. Looking to score into the 160s. I am located in PST zone and would be willing to work with a group a 2-3 days per week if our schedules can align. If you are interested, please PM and we can create a group chat. Currently working part-time so my scheduling is open. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a study partner, I am going through the core curriculum again to gain a more thorough understanding of the sections and concepts. If you are a person that has been scoring high on practice tests and have mastered the concepts behind the questions, and would not mind helping me, please send me a message. Thank you!

Can someone please explain to me, when it comes to General Theory, Specific Theory, Guided Application and Problem sets. Where can I go on the CC to learned these fundamentals. Thank You!
