I have an absent and a 159 on file.

Took the August 2023 LSAT, just got a 157 and cancelled it.

I currently have the September LSAT scheduled, and I will be taking the October one too.

However, if I score worse than 159 in September, I would have to cancel it again. My file would look like absent-159-cancel-cancel

Should I take the September LSAT or should I reschedule it to October?

I believe I have until 31st 11:59pm ET to both reschedule to October and to register for October. Am I correct?

Thank you all so much.

August Score Release and Advice

Hey, y’all. I took the LSAT in August and my score came back today with a 140. It’s not what I wanted, but it’s also not the worst that it could have been. I’m shooting for a 155 and want to retake it in a couple of months.

What’s the best strategy from here to prepare for a retake? Thanks!

After getting my score from the August LSAT today I'm totally at a loss. I took my first LSAT in June and scored a 157 which was not where I wanted to be. I then buckled down and studied harder for the August LSAT. I was averaging 163's right before the first go around of the test. I, along with most everyone had problems with my August LSAT. I choose to take it again and I truly felt that the test went well. I got my score back again today and I once again got a 157. I was really hoping to submit my applications as early as possible because I know that the earlier the better. Should I sacrifice this to take the test again? I am just worried that waiting until the end of October (when the October test score comes out) is going to be too long and hurt me in the long run of the admissions process. Please help I am very unsure of what to do at this point and the date to register for the October test closes tomorrow. I have a strong GPA (3.76) and good extra curriculars and I am not trying to make t14 or anything but I still want to get into the best schools that I can.

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.

LawHub

Hi is there a way to link my lawhub tests to 7sage? I took one on LawHub assuming that the scores/answers connected to the 7sage platform but don't see it. Is this an option?

LawHub Not Working

Hii I was hoping someone could help me out. I have been trying to log into Lawhub for weeks now and I am unable to. Every time I go into it, it just keeps reloading. I have tried on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, clearing my cache, clearing my history, allowing cookies, allowing block ups, trying to install on my laptop and nothing is working for me. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue? and if so, how did you resolve it?

Thanks!! :)

Wanted to see if anyone could share their thoughts / been in a similar position! I'm retaking the LSAT soon and wondering if I should also retake the writing portion. My first writing wasn't bad in terms of structure and argument but it ended abruptly because I ran out of time (was missing two words off the last sentence), and I was wondering if it would be worth it to redo the writing because of it in case it affects admissions.

Hello,

I took the June LSAT and got a 165. I wanted to be more in the 170 range, so I took the August exam. I know for sure that I will not be trying any more after this one.

My gut feeling for August is that I scored somewhere between 165-170, but obviously I can’t be sure until scores come out. I’m wondering if I should buy Score Preview just in case I somehow scored worse than the first attempt? It seems like most people utilize Score Preview for the first attempt, but I’m not sure how a cancelled score would look on a second attempt.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there,

I'm starting to foolproof all of the answers I don't easily correct. This is requiring a lot of printing paper and that adds up to quite a bit after only a few questions.

Do y'all have any advice on how to storage all of the fool proofing I've done? Ex: wound few huge binders with a 3 hole punch work? Would a milk crate with file folders work?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What to do?!

Just wondering what you guys do after you write your official LSAT? Do you continue to study while you wait for your score? Do you take a break? Does anyone feel a little empty inside after all the studying, anticipation, adrenaline, that went into just a 3-hour exam?

Are we allowed to have an electronic pencil sharpener (on your desk) during the test if you're testing remotely? I can't find any information anywhere that specifies if you can or cannot have an electronic one

I hope this isn't a dumb question lol

Hello!

I understand that when doing LG, to help chain up the rules, sometimes you need to contrapose conjunctions and disjunctions ("and" turns into "or," and "or" turns into "and"). However, I'm struggling to remember how the flipping and negating goes. Does anyone have any tips on this?

E.g.

Original: G and S --> /I

Contrapositive: I --> /G or /S

Am I doing this correctly?

OR is it:

/G or /S --> I

(Do we flip conjunctions/disjunctions when contraposing, or just negate?)

Hey!

Can someone please explain how to interpret rules 3 and 4 of this LG? (PT B, S2, G2)

3: "If y is not in, then either L or O, but not both are in"

How I interpreted this rule:

Not Y --> L or O

Contrapositive:

Not L and Not O --> Y

4: "If it's not the case that the park contains both L and O, then it contains F and S"

How I interpreted this rule:

Not L and Not O --> F and S

Contrapositive:

Not F or Not S --> L or O

In the explanation video, JY has a world where L, O and Y are all in, and I don't understand how we got there. I'm sure I'm missing some kind of bi-conditional lesson, or something. Did he just "negate" rule 3 by just the wording like: "if L and O are both in, Y is in," and that's how we got a possible world where L, O and Y are all in? Please help me lol

Boston Study Group

Hello,

I am looking for a study group in the Boston area. I’m hoping to meet up and review prep tests and sections. Hoping to hammer out more specifics once a group is formed but at least three days a week of two hour sessions.

I’m a really firm believer in the group study environment for the LSAT. I believe it’s conducive to not only be around like minded individuals to motivate for studying, but also to teach and be taught by others.

I work a 9-5 in Cambridge and am very accessible to meet up and study in the in between time. I also have good access with the MBTA to get around when needed. Please let me know if you’re interested!

Was wondering if there is a breakdown of the average number of LR questions by question type? The LSAT Trainer book has a page that shows how many of each category is “normally” on each exam. however the categories dont match perfectly with the 7sage curriculum. I figured 7sage must have a breakdown so that we know which categories will have 5-10 questions, and which will have 0-2.
