After studying for approximately 3 months, I scored a 163 in June. At the time I was PT’ing at about 164. In August, I scored a 163 after PT’ing at about 169. My PT high was a 170. Last weekend I scored a PT high of 173. I feel as though I was significantly better at the test in August and there were no extraordinary circumstances — albeit two difficult RCs.

I plan on taking the October LSAT. My contention is that it would be difficult for me to afford a pricy tutor. I have an LSAC fee waiver, so if there are any tutors who offer discounted services, I would be very interested in working with them.

Hi Folks, I have been studying for just under a year and taken the LSAT twice. I am stuck in the high 150's and can't seem to break 160 (which is my goal score) I have a full time job and am attempting to go back to school after a long time since undergrad. I have done Magoosh LSAT prep and all the core curriculum for 7sage but I struggle to remember all the concepts under time pressure or some of them still just aren't sticking. Any advice for pushing up a few more score points?

thanks in advance!

I'm planning on taking on the LSAT in February, 2022. I have a pretty good understanding of the LSAT, but I need some structure. If anybody has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hello everyone, I'm still going through the core curriculum and currently on the sufficient assumption section. I wanted ti improve my studying techniques and I was wondering how you were all effectively taking notes on the specific questions. By that I mean the questions in the problem sets and the questions that occur individually before the problem sets. Is it more useful to write out notes or to use the note taking feature provided for us? What exactly do you all find useful to write down?

Hi everyone (mainly @ tutors),

I'm currently looking for a tutor primarily for mastering LR and RC. If you're an approved and vetted tutor from 7Sage and have space for a student, please DM / comment!

For those who have paper-and-pencil accommodations...do the exams come stapled or as separately unattached pages? Can someone please briefly describe the process of this format without violating security policies? I am simply trying to get a feel for what to expect on test day as well as recreating test conditions as accurately as possible while taking PTs. Thank you for any information shared.

I understand that [All] statements negate to a [Some, Not] statement

(All cats are pretentious) negates to (Some cats are not pretentious)

Following this, [Some] statements negate to [None]

(Some cats are pretentious) negates to (No cats are pretentious)

The question I am seeking clarification on is for negating [Some, Not] statements; does [Some, Not] negate back to [All]?

(Some dogs are not brave) negates to (All dogs are brave)?

Thank you for the help.

Have honestly found very little info on this. Can anyone explain how it works? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone has a helpful review that I can use for the "some/most/all" relationships.

Good example of this would be PT 33, Sec 3, Q 8.

Hi,

My master program from Europe is still online due to Covid. The staffs are work remotely now. They told me they couldn't ship the paper transcript but they are able to send the transcript thorough email.

Does anyone know whether LSAC still accept email transcript?

Thank you so much!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share that I got my first 180 on a PT! It wasn't a fresh PT, it was the same one I used for my diagnostic many months back, and even though I remembered very few of the questions I'm sure that inflated my score to some extent. I was given the advice to retake old PTs during my last week before my test and I'm mainly sharing this to let you all know that it's good advice I'd recommend. It helps boost confidence which is essential going into game day and still lets you practice pacing and the like without burning yourself out in the last week. Definitely found it worthwhile for myself and would encourage others to try as well. It's particularly fun retaking your diagnostic to remind yourself how much you've grown over the course of your studies.

Good luck to all my October brethren. Rooting for y'all!

Hi!

I have looked through the LSAC website and I am still confused if I need to remove pictures from my walls.

Thank you and good luck on the October LSAT :)

I'm looking for thoughts on my current situation-- I'm a first-time test taker, and I have studied consistently since around the end of May. I planned on taking the LSAT once, and maybe twice if I drastically underperformed. Sadly, I have let the Nov. date get away from me.

Originally, my plan was to test in October since I wanted to get applications in around Thanksgiving-- but now I'm wondering if I should reschedule. My goal score was a 165, and until about two weeks ago I was PT'ing consistently in the low 160s, with a -4 or -6 on LR, -4/-5 on RC.

Recently though, something clicked for me in LR, and I've gone -0/-1 several times, along with several -1 to -3 scores on RC. My last PT (92) was my best, a 168 with LR -1, RC -3, and LG -7--which is actually one of my best LG sections to date. LG has killed my score since the very beginning and it is so frustrating.

Anyway, I say all that to ask, in light of my recent improvements-- should I pay the fee, postpone to Nov., and try to find some help with LG, or just stick with October? I hate wondering how much higher my score could have been with a better LG performance, but I don't know if I have enough time to improve any on LG/ if the time I'd lose on early application submission is worth it... anyway, any help/advice is appreciated!

Hello!

Was curious what people's daily goals of studying are when going through the Core Curriculum when you have a full day of studying planned?

For me, that's usually the weekend since I work on the week days, I'm curious what your study goals are when you have the full day to study? I'm just curious to see if I'm taking it too easy on myself when going through the Core Curriculum on the weekends. I know everyone studies/goes through the Core Curriculum at different paces but I'm just curious.

Usually, my goal is to get through 5 Practice Sets (Still going through LR question types) and then blind review them. And then usually this accompanied by something else like watching JY's videos on an example question type or other video types. Is this taking it too light?

My test got terminated right before the last section as I was accused of cheating. They stated multiple reasons

Someone rang my doorbell 3 times during the beginning of Section 2 and then left, I went out during my break to get the letter they left behind and let my cat inside. They then accused me of talking to someone at the door, I promptly explained what happened and then they said:

I went to the bathroom twice, once during section 1 and once during section 3, and they said that was not permitted. I went to the bathroom 4 times during the June Flex exam and wasn't given any problems. I pee a lot when nervous lol. And when I asked why they didn’t say that they first time they said they allowed me to break the rules the first time and let it slide.

I'm just beyond frustrated........ after being on the phone with LSAC, then proctorU, then LSAC, LSAC told me I should consider myself lucky that they're even letting me rewrite Oct 21..... Feeling a tad deflated but what can ya do... just sharing my grievances with you guys.

Is anyone having issues with Lawhub today? I know testing is going on right now but it's moving so slowwwwwww and I'm trying to get some last min studying in.

I've been preparing LSAT for almost a year and I was originally planning to apply in the 2021-2022 cycle. I took the Aug test as my first try and got screwed. It seems to me that the LSAT became harder after it changed to 4 sections and the difficulty levels are closed to PT 80s. My LG is unstable, LR makes little progress and RC is a complete nightmare. I was originally planning to take the November test but the schoolwork burned me out and my study schedule got messed up it seems like I made no improvement over the past months. I got so frustrated and I literally had no motivation to practice at all. I'm right now thinking about postponing the November test to Jan and apply next year, but the pressure of worrying about I could not make improvement even if I postpone it makes me want to cry. The pressure of schoolwork, LSAT prep, and job searching for next year all add up and makes me feel so lost rn. I know I sounds like a spoiled school kid who can not handle pressure (I know many people who are in the workforce also struggled with LSAT prep and somehow manage to succeed) , but at this stage I just want to write out my true thoughts and I wonder if there's anyone who also decide to change their original plan from applying this year to next year because of struggles with the test change. Want to hear more thoughts and advice from ppl who are experiencing similar things. Thx

I just received this email from LSAC: "We are writing to let you know that your recent LSAT session is currently being reviewed, along with others, for an incident that was recorded during the administration of the test. Please be assured that your session is intact and your test answers have been recorded properly."

Has anyone else gotten this? Are they just telling me because my score will come out late or are they trying to set the stage to tell me they have invalidated my test for some reason?

If I take a timed section of the LSAT and I don't get to all the questions, how do I perform the Blind Review method on the remaining questions? Do I time myself for the remaining questions? Or do I just approach each of the remaining questions one by one without regards to time (and not review it twice as we would normally do in Blind Review)?

I am looking for a way to copy paste LR stimuli and answer choices into a google doc to create a comprehensive wrong answer journal. Is there any way (7sage or otherwise) to be able to do so? 7sage won't let me copy paste.

I took the October LSAT and scored about 5 points lower than my PT's. I know I can get into a law school with the score I received and my high GPA however, I've decided to take the test again in January. Any advice? I struggle the most with logic games and I become frustrated because I feel like it will never click for me. How should I go about studying this time around? Do I go through the curriculum all over again? I'm feeling super discouraged. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
