Ugh, I just got an email from LSAC saying that tomorrow's test has been cancelled at my assigned test center (Chemeketa Community College in Salem, OR). I seriously can't believe this! There isn't even snow in the forecast, it's just cold. Is there anyone else here who's affected by this??? The email says "Next week we will contact you by email regarding options, including a make-up administration." I hope this doesn't delay the reporting of my score. I'm already submitting my applications way later than I had intended. :-(

Looking for study buddy, shooting for 170 range. Msg me if you are around too :)

Hey guys,

I am noticing that during my practice tests this week as the test gets closer that I am losing focus my mind is wandering to thoughts such as "holy shit the test is in 4 days, I better score well on this practice" etc. Thoughts that throw me off my concentration. Is anyone else having this problem and any advice to regain focus?

Thanks everyone and good luck Saturday!

Wednesday-Break apart PT 69 and 70 and do as individual sections. (review heavily wrong answers)

Thursday- Take prep test 65 (4 sections).

Friday-Dont do nothing all day...

I just took PT68, I usually get 17-20 q correct on Reading comp, however, my RC score fell to 10 correct!

The reading comprehension passage felt very tricky, I could not even get one MP question right! Any advice how to get back on track with exams in the late 60's

when is it acceptable to not study, or keep studying? should I take 2 or 1 day off before the test, what does everyone else plan on doing? I been studying crazy for the past two month, about to take it for the first time next week, to be honest,paul walker's death affected me a lil bit. It sounds weird cause I don't really follow celebrities like that, but his death...man life comes and goes and it's so fragile. And here I am thinking LSAT is the most important thing in the world, It shouldn't be...

willing to pay to use just this week, prefer to buy.

I scored 165 of PT 68 today, and I got -10 on games. This is so frustrating. I just can't seem to break through. The instruction is great, and I drill the games all the time, I just get so thrown off when I see something new and unfamiliar on a fresh PT. Is there ANYTHING I can do over the next six days to fix this? Any strategy to at least minimize the damage?

anyone want to study with me? Adrienna 818-987-9900

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that StrategyPrep in DC offers free in-person live proctored LSATs on select Saturdays in Washington, DC. It is limited to 1 free test per person, but seems like a good idea for your last or 2nd to last PT before the real LSAT. You get to choose any test from PT39 to the present, and it's a 5-section test.

However, in my humble opinion, they have NOTHING on 7Sage in terms of LSAT prep! Seriously, who does?

A live proctored test could be a good freebie though. I'll report back if I try it.

Hey everyone! Just thought I would give some input on what seems to have worked for me for the LR, hope it helps someone. I cannot stress enough how important skipping questions really is! I am always stubborn with trying new strategies, but I implemented something new with my LR and it has really helped I think!

I use to do questions 1-14 then skip to 22-end and then return to 15-21. I would usually score around an 18 and 17 on both LRs. I found that I would end up guessing on 4-5 questions each section with this strategy.

I found that skipping in this manner really messed with my mind. I found that I would skip to 22 and then read 22 not understand it, freak out, and then loss time.

Now I just go straight through the section question 1-end. I find that there is usually 2-3 questions in each LR that I honestly begin to read, do not understand the wording, and know that even after 5 minutes I still wouldn't. I use to honestly try and figure it but now if I begin one of these "hard" questions I circle it and skip it. I find that I skip around 3 questions, reach the end of the test, and then usually have to guess on these three questions because time is out. The last practice test I took I got a 21 on each section and I know for sure that it is because of this strategy.

In the end, I think skipping around like I use to messed with my mind, now I just go straight through and skip any questions in which I do not understand the wording, structure, or topic.

This strategy may seem simple and has probably already been discussed in length but I really support it. I usually score anywhere from a 159-162 and on my last PT I got a 166, and I think this had a huge role in it. Just don't freak out, skip anything you don't get and move on!

Now for LG. I think the LG is a section that is easy to improve upon. The most important thing that I do is to thrash through the easier/basic linear games. This gives you so much more time to attack the harder games in the section. If the linear game does not really limit the possibilities (say we have 7 slots and only know where really 1 variable can go), the first thing I do is quickly write out 3-4 possible solutions to the linear game. It is important to try and vary the leading and ending variable if you can. With this I am able, most of the time, to knock out 75% of the questions in under 3 minutes. Also the second thing I recommend is if there is a early global question (like which of the following CANNOT be true?) I skip it and come back to it later. I find that the relative questions (If A is first, then where can C be?) can usually help you answer that global question because by the end of the section you have usually done at least 3-4 more possible solutions next the questions. I usually get either -1 or -0 on LG.

I am not an LSAT expert (far from it) I usually PT in the lower 160s (RC is my weakness), but I thought I would give my two cents on what works for me for the average test taker. Good luck and tell me what you guys think!!

Hey guys,

I've been stuck around the low 160s for a while now, but got a 167 and 169 on PT 55 and 56. Though I am really happy, I was wondering how much of this could have been due to the level of difficulty of these particular tests. Anyone know of any rankings of the tests or experience something similar?

Thanks!

I am still trying to get the timing right. Recognize that there will be questions that I will have to skip and come back to if I have time at the end. Would really benefit hearing from those of you who finish all the questions within the 35 min and still maintain good accuracy on how you pace yourself and what are the benchmarks you stick to when doing timed PTs. By all means they are meant to be flexible.

From what I have read:

LR- First 10 in 10 min or less (and if possible first 15 in 15 min)

LG- Easy games under 5 min (someone wrote doing the first two games within 15 min)

RC- Easy passages under 7 and hard passages under 9 (aim to finish the first two passages within 15 min)

According to your score calculation platform, I've gotten a 159 and a 162 on two of my recent practice tests.

On the first one, I got 76/100 questions right. On the second one, I got 81/101 right.

According to your chart on this link (http://classic.7sage.com/lsat-score-percentile-conversion/), those ratios are good for a 161 and 164, respectively.

Please tell me what to believe, because I can't take the confusion D:

I'm going to have the prep test printed and bound, so I was wondering if the LSAT Test booklet on the day of the exam is double sided or not. Thanks

So as we all know, the LSAT can only be taken 3 times in 2 years.

I was wondering..

If, hypothetically speaking, I were to take the exam and cancel my score in time, would that still be considered as an attempt? Meaning, would I still have 3 chances for 2 years?

Also, would law schools be able to see that I canceled my score?

Thank you in advance for your inputs!

I graduated a couple years ago and am having trouble with letters of rec. I briefly held a part time job and then opened a tourism company with a business partner directly after. I also did not have strong relationships with professors while in college due to the sheer volume of students in each class. Any suggestions on where I should be looking for recs? Thanks!

Is anyone else having issues with the audio in Safari? It was working fine until a few weeks ago. Its okay with the other browsers but I like Safari better because you don't have to wait for the video to load. Could it be something to do with having Ad Block or a missing codec or something?

Hi Ping, I cant seem to get the videos to play on android. What specifically do I need to do for this?

Anyone studying for the December LSAT?

Hi guys,

So I know that for example A ---> B (--|--) C leads to the inference A (--|--) C, whereas A (--|--) B ---- > C leads to no useful inference. What about the double arrow? i.e.

1) A (---) B ---> C

2) A ---> B (---) C

my gut tells me in both cases its just A --- > C but I'm not 100%. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Cheers

I cannot mark any answers on PT reviews with a star anymore. On my iPad and PC/Chrome, when I click a Star during a PT review, it turns yellow for one second and then goes back to being clear. As its happening on multiple devices that used to be able to star answers, it leads me to believe that it has something to do with the site. Thanks.
