Hello everyone! I just scheduled my November 2023 test date through Prometric and had a few little struggles, so I thought I'd share them and hopefully it will help you when signing up for test date.

I signed into my LSAC account about 10 minutes early and immediately clicked on scheduling. Do not wait right until the "allotted" scheduling time opens!!! I was early and still 260 in the queue. When I got through and imputed my desired date to see the available time, I selected one and hit "reserve time slot," but no confirmation text was sent. I found out that there were about 1.5k people in the queue, so it made sense that things were slow, but I started to panic. I decided to just call the Prometric help desk phone number and after a long wait of 20 minutes I was able to talk to someone. They confirmed that it does not look like my selected time was reserved and they helped me schedule my test. They were pretty helpful and quick.

So, basically enter the queue early and when in doubt, call Prometric!

I am finding that as I have been trying to increase my score and doing more practicing and studying my pt score keeps consistently going down two -to three points and I feel like I never can get above 150 I do not know why I can't seem to improve does anyone have any advice for burnout on the LSAT.

I am looking through the syllabus on v2 format and I don't have access to the logic games anymore. Is that occurring for everyone? #help

I am drilling with sections of older prep tests (currently focusing on LR) by printing the test and working on the hard copy. I have since completed the section but I would like to review my answers and watch any explanation videos needed. How do I do so if I did not input my answers/complete the whole test on 7Sage's platform? Hope this question makes sense. Thanks!

Any ideas on how to get the most mileage out of some of the earlier prep tests?

Hi! I just used the new score converter tool to see what my last PT score would roughly be if it were the new test with no LG. To do so, I disregarded my missed points on LG and totaled my missed points on the 1 LR and 1 RC, which totalled to -11. According to the tool, that is a 168...

How can this be accurate? I scored a -8 on the Lg and a -7 on LR, so how could my score have jumped 10 whole points with no LG!??

Hello- Will 7Sage be coming out with a prep test module for test takers who plan to take the LSAT post August LG phase out?

Hiii,

Does anyone know if I would have any problem with jewelry policies if I have a permanent bracelet? I have a very thin bracelet that is welded shut so I can't just clip it off for the exam.

Thanks!

Hello.

I completed a drill and accidentally exited out when I was trying to compare my answers with a previous PT I took. Is there anyway to go back and find the answers of the drill I did? If that makes sense

EDIT: As of October 24, LSAC says that Sonoma should now be compatible with Prometric’s servers.

Yesterday, we posted an important heads-up on the 7Sage blog for Mac users who are taking the October or November LSAT remotely. I've pasted the article below:

"For anyone planning to take the October or November LSAT remotely, you need to know about a compatibility issue. Prometric, LSAC’s digital testing provider, currently does NOT support macOS Sonoma, Apple's newest operating system.

If you're considering updating your Mac, hold off and remain on macOS Ventura before your exam.

Double-check your Mac's version in About this Mac. Make sure it reads “Ventura.”

If you’ve already upgraded to Sonoma, you have a few options. The most convenient is to borrow someone else’s computer to take the LSAT. If you can’t borrow a computer, you can use an external SSD as a startup disk and format it to run macOS Ventura. If you’re on an Intel mac, you can also use Bootcamp to install Windows to take the LSAT.

Whether you've opted to use another computer, Bootcamp, or an external drive, you should verify your setup's compatibility using the Prometric Testing tool and LSAC Lawhub.

Best of luck, autumn test-takers!"

All, please help me to stop pulling l my hair out.

Two weeks ago, I switched to exclusively using Lawhub for my PTs since I'll be testing for the Nov 2023 LSAT and wanted to be accustomed to the format.

Before that, I had been scoring in the high 160s (165, 169, 170, 168) and nabbed a 170 once.

However, since I have switched, I got a 164, a 163, and just got a 164. It's wildly frustrating, especially because I am seeing trends in my scores I have never seen before (I usually get -4 or better on RC, but got a -6 and -7 on my previous two PTs) that seem to defy my previous understanding of my strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, there are a few things happening in my life that may be contributing to this, so it's been hard for me to isolate what the causes might be. I'm worried that the layout/fixed order/extra LR on Lawhub is a major contributing cause, but I can't tell. Further, I feel like it's important that I get comfortable with the layout whether I like it or not.

In trying to understand this, I wanted to get people's experience and input.

How do I interpret this significant drop in my scores? How can I tell whether my previously higher scores or my current scores are the fluke trend?

Has anyone else seen score fluctuations when they test on Lawhub as opposed to 7Sage? And, by extension, what are your thoughts regarding the modern (3-passage) vs. legacy (4-passage with the extra LR) for accurately assessing ability?

As general advice, what did you do to break the high 160s ceiling/plateau?

Thanks all for your input, and please help me reduce the amount of time I need to spend doing anti-frustration meditations on Spotify.

The website is faulty somehow. for a couple of days now it's been giving me an error message. and it is very slow. I know it is not my laptop because i used it for other things. Someone, please let me know it is not just me.

So when I was taking the test it asked me to take a picture of myself then take a picture of my ID. Then it prompted me to complete a checklist of a room scan. I wasn't sure what to do because my camera showed it was recording with the red light on top of my surface pro but I could not see anything but the checklist while I was showing the room. (Such as imagine taking a video on your phone but only seeing your home screen) So I had no perspective of what I was showing. Did I miss a step? Was I supposed to scan the room when I took a picture of my ID? I am genuinely confused

I basically goofed and payed for the Prep Plus subscription on a LSAC account that I created and forgot about (not the one currently linked to my 7Sage account).

I've read a lot of horror stories about the last several LSATs taken remotely following the switch to Prometric. I'm trying not to worry. I know there could be sampling bias on discussion boards toward those who had bad experiences vs those who had zero issues.

Does anyone have advice to prepare? Additional items to have/remove, questions to ask, room requirements, etc.

I took the LSAT previously with ProctorU and didn't have issues, but it sounds like things have changed. I read the official guidelines on LSAC and Prometric, but I've also heard some contradictions (which could lead to interruptions).

Thanks so much in advance.

I have been studying for a while. My highest on a practice test is 163 and I've gotten 160 a couple of times. However, my blind review highest scores have been 169 and 171. The reading comp is the defining factor at times. Should I wait to take the lsat in Jan or do I just take it next month. Im signed up for both. additionally, what are some strategies you use during reading comprehension. I want to continue scoring higher but sometimes I get 18/19 and at other times 13/14. The next lsat is closely approaching.

LSAC approved me for 50% extra time on both MC and writing, but I've only been practice testing with the 35 min split.

Should I switch over to practicing with 53 minutes per section? I figured it would be better to be accustomed to finishing within 35 minutes rather than take all 53 minutes.

Would one be more likely to make mistakes finishing (ideally) with 35-40 minutes and having extra time to go back? Or is it better to be more thorough with each question and finish within 50-53 minutes?

I have ADHD and GAD, and the timing/clock countdown gives me a lot anxiety.

Hey everyone. I am doing the core curriculum and have noticed a lot of my answers I get wrong are because I simply read the answer choice wrong / argument wrong because I was so nervous to get it right within the time limit, even when I do not show the time elapsed. I plan on taking the test the second time in 2024 because my mind absolutely blanked during the actual test. It was like everything I had learned went down the drain and was like I didn't spend months studying for the test. I would greatly appreciate it for some tips to help this from happening again, whether it be for drills, etc. Hope everyone has a great day!

Does 7Sage plan on updating the "modern" simulation to reflect the test? While there are only 3 scored sections, test takers take 4 sections, still. Considering this seems like a relatively easy addition, I am wondering if there are any plans to make a change.

Thank you!

my gpa is 3.54 but on lsac it says my gpa is between 3.5 and 3.74 which is "mostly A's"..........does this mean that , according to law schools, a gpa of 3.5 is identical to a gpa of 3.73? because they are in the same range? how does that work?

In August 2024, LSAC will remove the Logic Games section, replacing it with a second scored Logical Reasoning section. We’re having a free webinar Wednesday, October 25 from 8–9 pm where 7Sage Partner Scott Milam and Director of Tutoring Aastha Sinha will discuss what this change means for the future of the test and your own studying!

I took the LSAT in October. I can get out of my mind anxious when I'm testing, to the point that I can't comprehend what I've even reading. I call it "seeing white". Anyway, I have stop/start breaks and I can't tell you how much it helped. I was able to stop the clock and swivel my chair around at any point during the test and just breathe. It wasn't even for a whole minute every time. I would just close my eyes, breath, and ground myself. I have a list of affirmations I've written I read to myself leading up to testing. During the test I'd say the ones to myself I remembered and it was super helpful. Anxiety freaking sucks and I know i'm not the only one who struggles so wanted to pass this along. Say what you will about my cheesy affirmations, everyone JY interviews who scores high talks about how important mental health is during this process. 🤓

Hello 7Sage community,

I hope this message finds you well on your LSAT journey :)

I wanted to take a moment to share my own experience, as it may resonate with some of you who are navigating significant life changes alongside LSAT preparation.

I embarked on this LSAT journey with dedication, allocating countless hours to studying for the test. I've benefited immensely from the tools and support offered by 7Sage, and I want to express my gratitude for that. The skills I've honed during this process are invaluable and will serve me well in life.

However, life doesn't always follow a straight path. Major career shifts, housing challenges, and relationship changes have shifted my focus and priorities. I decided to put the LSAT on hold to navigate these transitions effectively.

I'm sharing this not to discourage anyone but to contribute my own story and data point to the wide array of LSAT preparation experiences out there. The LSAT journey can take a holistic toll – financially, emotionally, and professionally. I wish I had come across posts like this earlier to help me evaluate my preparation choices within the context of my life circumstances.

I'm not closing the door on the LSAT. It's a journey I may return to when it aligns with my life circumstances. For now, I'm focusing on adapting to the changes life has presented.

I wish each and every one of you a happy and successful learning journey. Cherish the skills you're developing; they'll serve you well beyond the LSAT.

Does anyone know what happened to close captions? I was using them to be able to study while working, and now I don't see them at all...
