Hey guys, so I am testing my laptop for this weekend and I've allowed camera and microphone use, but everytime I test it, it says that camera width and height are not found. Can anyone please help me?

Has anyone used a mobile hotspot on an official exam recently? I used a hotspot when I took the exam in June 2021 and I had no issues. I don't think I let my proctor know that but my phone was in sight of the camera the whole time. I'm retaking the exam this Saturday and I just read over the rules and it says that we can't use a hotspot or VPN...I don't know if this is a new rule but I'm not really sure what to do because my WiFi does not pass the internet speed test but my hotspot does. Anyone have any insight?

Hi everyone,

I'm an international candidate, and the only reasonable time I could sign up for was 5:30am local time.

Early morning hours between 2am and 5:30am were the only options I had left right after receiving the sign-in email from LSAC at around noon on May 26 eastern time (I'm a first-time test taker). I sent an email to LSAC to ask if I could schedule for an evening time, but I'm not confident that they will let me reschedule. Candidates in my country have been complaining about this time zone issue since 2020, and LSAC still isn't providing more time slot options for international candidates.

Are there other international candidates who had to take the test very early in the morning, and do you have any tips? Right now I'm performing at about 15 points below my practice test scores because I can't even finish the questions on time. (I normally finish all of the questions and have time left to review.)

I've been practicing waking up at 3:30am, have 2 hours to wake up my brain, and take a practice test at 5:30am, but it hasn't been very successful. So I would appreciate any and all tips you could share! Thanks in advance.

I have been scoring almost perfect on LR & RC within the time constraints (-1 or -0 on both).

I can only get -6 when taking LG with the time constraints BUT when I do LG problem sets with no time constraints I get -0. Does anyone have advice for doing LG faster without messing up?

When does ProctorU open up time slots for the September and October LSAT? Should I make a ProctorU account prior to receiving an email from LSAC? Additionally, does anyone know the earliest and latest times in a day to take the exam?

I am planning on taking the August 12th exam, how many more tests should I take?

where can I find a lesson on the difference between these two question types?

Hello! I started studying for the LSAT March of 2021 and took it twice in August 2021 and November 2021 (had not used 7Sage to prepare). Both times, I experienced something strange with the LR section: it was as if I had never seen the section. I wasn't able to process the words or make sense of the questions or able to see the patterns associated with the question types (as I usually am during studying and practice tests). The first time around, I thought this may be happening because I am not as prepared as I should be but the second time, I felt prepared. I have been following the Core Curriculum and it has helped me tremendously. My PTs after starting the CC have been 166 and 163 respectively (as opposed to my 158 official score both times). I will be taking the test September 2022 so I have a solid 3 months to reach my goal of 172+ but I am worried about experiencing what I did for the LR section my previous two administrations. What do you think this could be and how can I ensure that this doesn't happen again during my September test? Looking forward to your response, thank you!

I was doing some LR drills, and Q26 on PT 6 S3 felt like I just needed prior knowledge to answer the question successfully. I feel like this is what catches me up on a lot of questions that are rated as max difficulty. I really struggle with the stimulus content and question wording and it just feels impossible to answer. Has anyone done this question specifically and could give me a breakdown of how they came to the right answer? Or just general tips for handling an extra wordy stimulus?

I took the LSAT in 2018 and scored a 167. I plan to take a diagnostic test tomorrow to see where I stand now. If I score 160+ in my diagnostic test, would 2.5 months be enough time to study to take LSAT in August and complete the 7sage curriculum? According to the study schedule generator, I would have to study 20-25 hours per week starting today to ensure I take at least 6 PTs by the August 2022 LSAT.

Thank you!

I am really struggling with reading comprehension! Do you guys have any tutors you would recommend? Really appreciate it! Thank you.

Is there a way to filter my analytics priority type questions, such as NA type, and filter out all the ones missed in LR and create a problem set to drill those questions?

I finished the LR part of the core curriculum and took the Single LR Section. I didn't do well because of timing. Should I do more LR or just move onto the LG and RC sections?

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has any tips and getting to -0 for timed PTs for LGs?

When I blind review, I correct it to -0 but then under timed PTs I still get -3, to even -6 under timed conditions.

It seems I get overwhelmed when a game has a lot of variables? For example, PT 68 game 4, I missed three questions, two cbt (felt overwhelmed under timed PT by rule that consecutive can't be the same topic, and brute forcing answer choices).

Other PTs I noticed my mistakes are I didn't read the questions stem properly under timed, or through a mbt question chose an answer that could be true. So tips for that pressure of timed PTs would be appreciative lol

I've foolproof before but haven't done so in a month, should I just get back it?

Hi anyone else facing problems in scheduling? Every slot is not available

Just opened up Proctor U to check if I could schedule because I remembered hearing that people who were NOT first time test takers were able to schedule earlier on Proctor U ahead of the time that LSAC emails out the link. It worked!!!! I am scheduled now and got the time I wanted!!!! Go check if you are a repeat test taker! Sending good vibes to all testing in June, we got this!

Going through some problem sets and I've noticed that inference and MBT are labelled distinctly despite that fact that I thought they were identical question types. Am I missing some nuance between the two?

Just started the first week in cc of LG and feel like I am an idiot. When I am doing the problem set, I can barely get 50% right answers for 3 star questions within 17:30. Couldnt calm down when I am drawing game board and make inference properly. Misread stem all the time. But during blind review I could easily draw a game board almost the same as JY and may only miss one question eventually. Dont know why that happened. Any advice to improve? Or just practice? My brain's like frozen with time restriction lol

I wasn't sure which phrase would indicate the self-interest

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

Are you supposed to finish every problem set for each LR question type in the core curriculum before you move on to a new LR question type?

Wondering because it would make my life easier in RC.

Hi everyone! This is related to PT55S3Q24, but it is on necessary assumption questions with conditional language in general-- how do you do the negation test with conditional AC's? And what is a good approach for NA Q's with conditional language in the stimulus-- sometimes I feel like I can approaching them too similarly to a SA Q. Thanks!

I've been taking LR sections untimed and generally get between -0 and -2. Depending on the overall difficulty of the section I usually take between 35-45 minutes. However, when I take timed practice tests my accuracy goes down. I notice that many of the questions I missed were because I overlook certain details that would've clued me into the right answer, and on blind review I usually catch all of these errors. Any tips as to how one should generally go about building up their speed?

Hey all,

I've noticed that, when there is a question such as "Which of the following, if true, determines all [placements within the given game]?" the answer choice includes the placement of the free agent, which is often the last piece that goes unplaced since the other answer choices leave it up to question. Therefore, I've begun testing answer choices with looking for the one or ones that tell where the free agent goes. This has sped up my elimination process significantly.

Anybody else see this?
