This month I'll be in the region of a couple of schools I'm hoping to apply to. While I'm in the area I'm planning to visit the towns to get a feel for whether they are a place I'll want to be for a few years, and I'm considering scheduling a campus visit while I'm there as well. I'm taking the LSAT in September and as long as things go okay will be applying to schools this fall.

I've done some digging through the forum and it sounds like in general, the crowd here is supportive of pre-application visits. Any thoughts to the contrary?

Secondary question: What are some things I should be asking (of current students, of professors, of folks in the admissions office, of anyone else?). Who should I be asking to talk to? I have a short list of questions so far, but this will be my first experience going on a campus visit (I never visited my undergrad before attending) and have been out of school for 10 years so I'm feeling quite ignorant of the process and would love your guidance regarding what smart questions to ask.

Hi all,

I have ADHD and some sensory issues, and I found something that really helps me with studying. Silicone earplugs! I have seen quite a few discussions about ADHD tips from years back and figured I should post this for people who are currently on the study train.

Here are the ones that I use. I found them at my local CVS: https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-ultra-soft-silicone-earplugs-6-pairs-prodid-457795

They have helped me so much with studying and taking practice exams. I find that the slight pressure in my ear helps me to be more comfortable and relaxed. It almost replicates the feeling of a nice weighted blanket. Additionally, they block out small noises that might otherwise throw me off of my rhythm.

Also, you are allowed to wear earplugs during the test. They are on the list of preapproved items (https://www.prometric.com/test-owners/resources/testing-accommodations-pre-approved-items, https://www.lsac.org/lsat/register-lsat/accommodations/accommodations-may-be-available-lsat) for both the multiple-choice and writing sections. The only requirements are that you show them to the proctor before the exam and that they are "non-electronic, non-corded/banded, and generic foam" (I am assuming silicone, a foam-like substance, is okay). You could use foam ones, but I find that the silicone ones stay in my ears so much better.

Hope this helped somebody.

Hi! I am currently at a 156 average for the LSAT and I have the following questions regarding each seciton:

For logic games it is time, when I blind review I get it all correct but I really struggle in doing it all in the allotted time. I assume the best way to practice is by just doing it over and over again to get down on time? Does that make sense or has anyone else suffered the same issue and figured out a better way to do logic games quicker?

For Logical Reasoning I kind of struggle on just a random few ones each time -- So for those of you have increased LR what is the most effective way you find with studying for LR? Like should I just do all of the lessons or for time purposes are there one's you recommend over others? Should I do a bunch of practice? How many a day? Any advice would be so appreciated!!

And last for reading comprehension I am weirdly just so bad at these. I read everyday for my major so it really makes me sad that this is where I perform worst so really any advice on books or lessons or practice methods that most helped you I would really appreciate!!

Thank you so much in advance.

I am very budgeted and put as much as I can into my studies. I am hoping to be able to invest in tutoring, but I am wondering when the best time to do it would be as I am unable to afford a large amount of lessons.

Any recommendations? #help

Last week I scored a 179 on a PT in the 70's. The score completely blindsided me as my previous highest score was a 170 and I'd been scoring in the high 160's for the past three PTs. I am of course very excited about this score but I am panicking about maintaining it. I haven't taken another preptest since but I've been drilling logical reasoning in the 80's (old practice tests I took over a year ago) this week and my LR score is dropping significantly. I typically score -2 to -0 but in these early 80's PT's I'm scoring -4 to -6. I am panicking about my next PT score dipping back into the 160's. I need a 170-high to offset my low GPA and even though I know I should feel confident about scoring a 179 on a practice test it's honestly made my anxiety worse.

Can anyone give some advice on how to handle score drops in the 80's? I am taking the August test and feel like time is running out to prepare effectively. Also, any advice you can give on managing stress? This is the most stressed I've ever felt in this process and I've been studying for a long, long time.

I was thinking of applying to law school in Canada, and I was wondering which are the schools that look exclusively at your last 2 years of GPA.

I forgot my password, so I had to reset it. Now every time I try to use the new password it says login failed and it's locked me out for 20 minutes two times now. #help

Hi I can't access my account anymore it keeps saying error and making me wait 10 minutes before trying again.

Hello, am I the only one that feels a lot of the explanation videos for the answers are very vague and don't explain why the answers are right most of the time?

Admin note: I edited the title for clarity

Hi everyone, quick question on which is the more accurate or more correct score to rely on after taking a Prep Test, specifically on 7Sage. I've been noticing that they give different numbers. For example, I recently took PT 80 and got -8 (93/101) for a score of 172. However, looking at the 7Sage Score Conversion Chart (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-score-percentile-conversion/), a -8 on PT 80 is a 170. According to the chart, a 172 would mean that I got -6.

Can anyone help explain this difference?

Thanks!

Is there a limit?

Anyone notice the 7sage drills aren't showing the options that is usually shows on the top left or showing the question difficulty. I don't know if it the site itself or my laptop. I restarted and even used a separate browser and even logged out and back in but nothing.

I switched to CCv2 to test it, but it is unreflective of where I am at progress wise in terms of my studying start date - is there any way to fix this so it reflects how much time I have actually had to study? :)

Thank you!! :)

Hi all,

Noticed 7sage always has 2 LR instead of the random RC/LR/LG section for Prep Tests. My understanding is that PTs can have 2 RC or 2 LG or 2 LR. 7 Sage always gives me 2 LR with one section being significantly harder than the other LR. Where are they getting this second LR section if the actual exams will gave RC or LG? I am confused.

I have a few scholarship essays that need hard review, but are due in a few days. Would anyone be available for last-minute reviewing? Please DM me!

I took April's test and could have done better.

Has LSAC released it given its been time since it has been released.

I would like to review it and see how I could have done better.

If someone knows where I can find it- I's appreciate it if I was pointed in the right direction.

Thank You.

Bought Prep plus separately. Monthly subscription to 7sage was bought before Prep plus. Don't have the option to link my accounts.

They are gone again, is it only me?

Hello,

I for some reason cannot submit any of my drills to see the answers or do blind review and I am also missing the check marks to all my classes in the syllabus.

Will the remote LSAT start time be adjusted for my time zone (Hawaii Standard time)?

What does the remote LSAT format look like? I've tried looking up screenshots or a simulation but haven't found anything. Is 7sage's format similar in terms of layout? Does it have highlight, underline, ability to cross out answers, or any other tools like 7sage?

Hi y'all. I recently received my score back on the June Flex LSAT and scored a 167. Would it be possible to increase my score to 170+ by August (recommendations for study schedule and tips would be great!). I self studied before with just Khan Academy and was getting between 168-170 on pt

Anyone have any tips to help me increase my score

Hey everyone. Im taking my test in a few days, and am kind of freaking out. I did worse on the last PT i took than normal, and still am not getting -0 on the logic games section. Does anyone have advice on what I should do to make sure I do the best I can on the test soon? Is it a good idea to take another practice exam? Thank you!

Is it correct that 7sage does not have explanation videos for all questions of every PT? I took PT2 and blind reviewed it. It seems like most of the questions do not have any explanation video, it is either "Discuss" or a video of zoom recording by other instructors (not J.Y. Ping). Are there just no explanation videos for PTs in general, except for some"difficult questions"? Is there a more productive and efficient way to study for it besides googling for each question or posting questions about it?

As someone who just took their first official LSAT in June, I feel confident that 7sage works wonders. I recommend that you volunteer to answer questions as much as possible. Doing this helped the classroom instructors narrow down what I was doing well, and help me define what I needed to improve upon.

The more I showed up to classes, the more the instructors had time to help my specific issues. While the instructors did a great job working with all the students, there is value in being a repeat and active volunteer. As I grew in the courses and classes, I started asking specific questions and getting more specific feedback. Some of the advice I received was absolutely valuable to improving my overall score.

I recommend even if you are feeling hopeless and that the LSAT is a monster, that you volunteer in classes. Do your best to treat it like a part-time job and show up often and on-time. Experiment with each tutor and try out each of their individual approaches. Finally, don't skip over the courses that are Review or Study Plan focused, these specific courses usually had lower classroom attendance, and had more time to give very specific answers to my questions.

I would not have felt nearly as prepared for this test without 7sage. For anyone on the fence, go all in. It's worth it.
