I know that you cannot wear headphones during the lsat so does that mean that you need speakers on your computer to be able to hear your proctor? I only have headphones for my computer so I am curious to know if I need to buy some speakers. Thanks.
It sounds like a silly question, but on the LSAC website it says that the November LSAT will take place on the 11th and 12th.
Should I expect an email from them detailing the final date and time of the test?
Hello everyone. I’m a bit confused on how I should be doing my PTs and I’m hoping someone can clear up my confusion. So, up until this point I’ve been doing PTs without checking off the “simulate modern” box on the PTs. Should I be doing these PTs with the modern option enabled? In addition, does simulating modern tests still include 4 sections and only scores 3 of them or will it only include 3 sections all of which are scored? Thanks!
Hey!
So ive been attempting to study for the LSAT for god knows how many years now. I think I am finally ready to give it my all.
I was wondering if there are people here who have worked full time and also studied. How did you guys manage? I realize its so much harder because you spend 9-5:30pm working then studying.
If you have, can you explain how you did it and how many months it took you? Also, if you dont mind-- do you mind sharing your score? I got 148 on my practice test.
Thanks!!
Hi guys,
Although I do have a relatively short study window (4 and a half months), my suggested study schedule from October and beyond consists only of practice tests. Is this normal?
Hi everyone! I hope all is well. Today I'm writing this thread looking for insights on how to approach my LSAT study. First, I think it's essential that you know I'm an incoming sophomore undergraduate student, so I still have plenty of time before I graduate college; however, I do want to spend my time wisely and begin prep already. Right now, I'm working my way up the core curriculum (at the moment still strengthening questions of logical reasoning). So my question is: should I do the whole curriculum before tackling practice tests (I only did one experimental prep test, and my score was 135)? I'm also unsure if I should do all the problem sets, considering they are real LSAT questions, and I don't know how I feel about wasting them. Does anybody have any tips for beginners in LSAT prep? Any tutor recommendations? How early should I get a tutor? As I work my way up the core curriculum or once I'm done with it?
Note: I'm shooting for a 175+
Any insights would be highly appreciated.
Thanks, 7Sage community.
I have linked my LSAC account to my 7sage account already, but every time I attempt to take a PT the website tells me to link my account, when I click the link, I get a message saying "This coach is already assigned to this user". I only have one 7sage account, please advise.
Hey 7Sage Community,
I'm planning on taking the LSAT this upcoming November, and am applying for additional time. I am doing so because I have both (1) ADHD, (2) an Astigmatism, and (3) a Convergence disorder. I imagine ADHD doesn't require much explanation, but the two other disorders are both eye disorders which make reading for long periods of time or at great speeds extremely difficult. As a result of these two disorders, I primarily read through audiobooks and filter all my University reading through text-to-speech software.
For all three of these disorders, I have records of professional diagnosis, supporting documentation, treatment by the in-staff doctors at Notre Dame, and a record of prior accommodation on my ACTs.
I'm wondering about two things:
What are the odds that my accommodations will be approved? I'm asking for 50% extra time. I imagine the LSAT is understandably diligent when it comes to verifying this sort of stuff (because the incentive to bullshit is immense), but I have all the necessary documents proving my conditions. I want to hear about other people's experiences because I want to know whether I should plan on practicing with the 50% additional time.
Is there anything I can do to more accurately communicate the nature of these disabilities? Is there anything that in the past has been successful for accommodation approval?

The webinar will start at 8 p.m. ET on September 1 and will run for an hour.

I am taking the test for the first time.
I am ok with RC scoring on average -7 or -8. However, it is only when I do only 1 RC section. When I do the RC section, I usually have severe headaches Idk why.
Any suggestion on how to handle 2 RC sections on test day?
Sorry, we are in the progress of fixing the order right now!
Has anyone had experience with requesting a quiet space for the test? Do they just reimburse for a hotel or do they have us go to a specific testing centre?
Episode #85 is here!

Hi everyone,
I am going back to school next week. I will also be working full time job so it is going to be nearly impossible for me to study for the LSAT for the next 3 months.
I have been using 7sage since May and have noticed a lot of improvement. I am currently on track to finish the entire LR section of the core curriculum before I go back.
I plan on taking the LSAT next summer (August/September) and apply to law school in 2024. What can I do to not lose everything I have worked so hard for from now until winter break when I can begin to study again?
If you go to "LSAT questions" then "Drills", there are two labels under the logic game category called "grouping with sequencing" and "sequencing with grouping". Is there a difference between them?
Just did PT-88 and ran out of time in middle of Game-3.
G2 and G3 felt much much harder than any other test I've taken, and this after doing not so easy G1 that took ~11 mins.
I went -1/24 today morning on another PT-39 LG, so not sure if PT-88 is an outlier or not.
Is PT-88-LG a known extremely-hard section? How did those who usually are -0 in LG did on this PT?
I’m trying to figure out how to move forward with my LSAT studying and thought I’d ask you guys.
My practice LSAT scores are in the mid-150s. That’s good enough to get in to my schools of choice, but I’d like to get a 160 for better scholarship opportunities. I’m taking the September LSAT, so I’m running out of time. I have purchased the 7Sage course and am going through their study schedule example. Should I focus more on practice tests and blind reviewing them or on the curriculum? Or curriculum with a mix of practice tests? Is a 160 even doable at this point?
Any bits of wisdom or advice is much appreciated!
are 5 scratch papers enough if we get 2 LG sections? I am afraid I won't have enough space. Any idea?
There are various lists/rating for individual games, but not section as a whole for LG.
Does 7sage (or any other place) has a list of difficult sections for each of RC, LR, LG?
While doing problem sets for MSS questions, I pinned questions that I struggled with. But I can't figure out where I can access all of the questions that I pinned. How can I access this?
Hi everyone, I just started studying for the LSAT this week and plan to take the April 2023 LSAT. I was wondering what the best way to study is. Should I just go down the course list and learn every single tab, or is that a waste of my time and is there a more effective way to study? Also, when should I start taking prep tests? Because currently, I feel like I won't be ready to take a full-length prep test for at least like 2 more months. Please share your experience and how you started studying, and when you took your first prep tests.
Everyone appears to have a different opinion. This is my first attempt so I don't know if I should save some! 10? All? Thanks!
