LSAT
New post318 posts in the last 30 days
So I recently took the November-Flex test, and while I think I did okay on LR and RC, I completely bombed Logic Games. I normally finish the section and get around -3. This time, though, I was able to do only two games and completely guessed on the other two games. I've been hoping for 165+ to a 170 score, and I can retake in January, so I was wondering if it's smart to just cancel this score. Please LMK what you think. Thank you!
hey everyone I wanted to ask if any of you had some tips to ease pre-test anxiety? I know its going to keep me up all night. have never ever been an anxious person or worried so much about tests but I have the LSAT tomorrow morning and my hands are shaking, I'm tearing up and just overall on the verge of a breakdown. Please help.
I had RC-LR-LG. RC was easy-ish, except for the third game which was 8 questions long, unfortunately. LR felt extremely easy; the only thing that slightly tripped me up was repeated letter answers. In my opinion, LG was above average difficulty, unlike the suspiciously easy October LG.
Wondering if the difficulty of the LSAT affects the scaled score. Does anyone know the answer to this?
Congratulations to everyone who took the test and good luck to those testing later this week (3(/p)
On Sunday, of all days, a tropical storm hit my neighborhood. On the first two sections of the LSAT my internet kept disconnecting, losing me precious time on LR and RC. I am already panicked and, not having a proper flex experience, my electricity turns off (including wifi). I had to break policy by reaching for my phone to connect to my hotspot and report to my proctor. They said I should be fine to take another November date but the LSAC personnel said to wait a few days for options.
Do you think I should go ahead with the writing portion at least? Also if they only let me redo the last section and not the prior 2 (which I would rather just redo it all due to complications) or cancel to instead take the January exam, which do you think is the better option? Please lmk!
I'm writing for the November Flex and I went on the LSAC website under the "LSAT writing" tab, and do not see where I can sign up for the writing section etc. Can someone help?
It's a weakening question. I don't understand why answer is D.
Answer choice is saying the ordinary crop doesn't contain drug. But according to stimulus, after pollination, the ordinary crop may produce drug-producing crop, therefore drug may end up in food supply. Answer choice D doesn't weaken this argument.
I was indecisive between E and B. But I couldn't think of an explanation of D is the right answer. HELPP~
So I'm about halfway through my RC section, when my screen goes completely blank. I'm thinking "what just happened?". I reach out to my proctor -- they say something along the lines of "just reconnect". I refresh the page and it reconnects. I've lost time. I ask my proctor for time back and they shoot back "continue".
I try to collect myself and deal with the situation. A few minutes later, my proctor interrupts me saying they need to take control of my computer to reconnect the video. This takes a while. Once again, time ticks away and I don't get it back. This was my 2nd section. I was absolutely shook. I barely finished on time and had to guess on questions. As you can imagine, the 3rd/next section didn't go so well.
I've already filed a complaint with LSAC. Does anyone know what they usually offer as a remedy? I took the test a while ago (May 2019) and I've been studying for months. Would score preview be on the table despite having taken the regular LSAT before? If push comes to shove, I can take it in January. Obviously not ideal, but I still have plenty of material and PTs. Please advise.
so do you provide your own scratch paper? Or do they mail you a booklet like the one you use taking the normal digital exam?
Hey guys, if anyone is interested in some help on LG please let me know. I’ve done every publicly available logic game multiple times. I’ve been helping students for about 3 months now!
I'm taking the LSAT-FLEX tomorrow and had some final questions about what to expect.
I studied hard for this test since March of this year, and I sat for the November Flex on the 7th. As I was studying, time seemed to move extremely fast and now that I have completed the test, time seems to be moving extremely slow. Nothing took me by surprise on the flex, but I think I caught a case of test anxiety: things felt so surreal as I was taking the test that it kind of felt fake? I don't know how to really express my emotions with words; however, now I wait to see this score that I feel will be low, but the post LSAT life, where I go cold-turkey with studying, is something that feels hallow to an extent because you put so much time and effort on the test and now it's over for a little bit. It's weird.
I am not sure what this post even means, but cheers to the LSAT takers!
For answer choice A, I seemed to struggle understanding how it strengthens the argument. Is answer choice A saying that the more "good" cases that you have, the higher your productivity score at your firm (I am assuming that a high productivity score is a positive attribute to have)? What if one takes on a computer-fraud case (which according to the stimulus take more time than the average fraud case) and it's a "good" case (i.e. you win the case)? Won't this increase my productivity score? Would greatly appreciate clarification on this answer choice.
Hi 7sagers!
After a short break we are back with Session number 4! I'll be covering RC questions and how I approach these questions under timed conditions. It will be Sunday, November 15th at 7pm EST. Please comment below if you're interested!
I have gone through the 7sage CC twice, taken over 95% of the PTs out there, and am currently scoring in the low 170s. My diagnostic was a 138. I've struggled immensely with this test, and I can show you how I've overcome these obstacles.
We will be using questions from the free diagnostic LSAT test provided on the LSAC website. This session will be helpful for students that recently completed the RC CC, or are in the PT phase of their studies and is struggling with RC questions.
If this session goes well, I'd be open to hosting more free sessions! Please let me know what topics you'd like to discuss at a future session in the poll below. See you there!
A few additional things I want to mention so we can all get the most out of the session:
Please refrain from looking at the correct answer choices when we are going through problems. It is to your benefit to be unaware so you can learn!
Please make sure your microphone is on mute during the session, unless you are the person volunteering to help answer a question.
I will be asking for volunteers throughout the session. Don't be shy! Students who volunteer get the most out of the sessions.
The session will last around two hours, questions unrelated to the topic at hand should be saved until the end.
If you learned something helpful, all I ask for payment is that you share the knowledge with others that could be struggling. After all, we rise by lifting others up. :smile:
Let me know if ya'll have any questions. Hope to see you there!

So i have a really hard time with these questions.
Any tips?
Hello everyone,
I am currently scoring a constant score of 153 on practice exams. The highest I have scored was about two weeks ago and I got a 154. My blind review scores normally fall into the low 160s. I am planning on taking the LSAT on Wednesday, November 11th. I am just looking for advice on what I should do. I am planning on applying during this application cycle and would like advice if I should withdraw from this LSAT and just take the January LSAT. Or I could do both this LSAT and January. I am just discouraged and frustrated that I am so close to the 155 but cannot pull it off. Just for reference, my highest RC score is a -7 (normally -12), LG -4 (normally -5) and LR -6 (normally -9). Any advice or words of encouragement is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I have recently been taking PT's 80-87 and have been doing poorly on my LR. But when I do BR, I am at -1 or -2, and I fully understand and choose the correct answer. So, why am I not choosing the correct A/C on the actual timed prep tests? Am I rushing too much to finish, not reading accurately or something else?...can't figure out what is going wrong but I take the Nov FLEX ASAP. Any words of advice is appreciated.
Hi folks - I just took the November Flex. For reference, I took my first LSAT-Flex in October and did well. I went into November thinking I could do better...While the November test was fairly standard, perhaps even easier than October, just as I began to take the test, Biden was called (!), and for the entire test all I heard were people screaming and cars honking. I also had zero adrenaline, zero nerves. I felt like my body was so relieved from the election being called that I just crashed just as the test started. 1) Do you think LSAC would allow me to retake the test if I filed a complaint (I'm assuming ProctorU has the video recording of all the noise); 2) Has anyone taken an LSAT with zero adrenaline and done well? Legit I was so calm/exhausted/out of it that I feel like I lacked the edge necessary to execute the score I wanted. Also, if I don't cancel my score, is it bad for admissions to see let's say a 170 and then a 160? Thank you!
Good morning,
I am taking my exam this Tuesday November 10th.... Yikes! It is my first time taking the LSAT so I am not familiar with the process at all. Can someone please explain the process on the day of the exam, everyone I know has done the exam in person. Also, if anyone can offer any advise that would be great too.
Thank you in advance!

In foolproofing for LG (which I've just started) I've noticed that below the videos, there will be a target time. However, when I watch the videos, JY usually says a different target time. Which target time am I supposed to go by? The faster one? Also, does anyone know what determines the difference between these two times?
Example: PT 1 G1:Under 10 in video vs. 11:52
Example: PT 1 G2: Around 9 Minutes in video, vs. 11:04 (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-1-section-2-game-2/)
Hey 7Sagers,
Here's the official November 2020 LSAT-Flex Discussion Thread.
**Please keep all discussions of the November 2020 LSAT-Flex here!**(/red)
Rules:
❌ You can't discuss specific questions. 🙅♂️
You CANNOT say things such as the following:
I am supposed to take my LSAT on Wednesday but I have a family emergency and have to cancel and take in January instead. I am fine to loose the $200. How do I cancel?
Just finished the flex for November. Had RC, LG, LR. Struggled big time with RC, but LG wasn't bad, LR was super easy, im kinda skeptical because of how simple i thought it was. Good luck to everyone else taking it!
So I didn't read the instructions on the writing section and I was wearing headphones the entire thing. My webcam mic is really bad so I thought that I could use my headphone mic instead. Just realized today that it isn't allowed. Anyone have experience with this/ will they definitely cancel it? And if so, will I be able to retake it and if needed, cancel my score once the proper submission goes through?
I feel that ALL three sections are more difficult than the previous PTs... It'd be very helpful to have explanation videos on them!
I had LR - RC - LG.
LR was mixed for me, honestly felt like a blur, wouldn't be surprised if -3 or -6. RC felt pretty okay. LG though...I miswrote my diagram in game 3 and didn't have enough time to solve game 4 and ended up guessing on more than 7 questions for LG...
I took my first LSAT in august and got a 162. PT average has been around 164 (I usually get less than 3 wrong in LG...).
I'm aiming to hit 170 by January and apply to T14 next cycle. I feel like this November one might come back with a really low score, so I'm scared...should I cancel? What do 7Sagers recommend?
