Is anyone taking the lsat from Canada, around Toronto for the sept lsat? The only test centres are in the USA :(

There are no spots available in Canada

I am retaking the LSAT in September. I completed the argumentative writing section with my June test. Do I need to complete another one for this exam or is it 1 writing for all LSATs?

So I did not get into law school this cycle. My LSAT was low but decided to apply anyways. I am back to studying and want to know if I should start all over from the beginning with studying or pick up where I left off?

Timing Tips and Tricks

I think my biggest weakness on the LSAT is timing. Are there any general tips and tricks to timing that could help me close the gap between my timed PT and the blind review? I know practicing and building my intuition is a huge part of it, but I wanted to see if there is anything else that could help. Thanks!

On my initial LR section, I missed 4 questions. During Blind Review, I reviewed 8 questions and got all 8 correct pretty quickly. 

The biggest difference was my anxiety level. During the timed section, I felt extremely anxious and noticed that I was rushing to the ACs, not giving each AC the same level of consideration, and sometimes just scanning for the answer that matched my prediction rather than fully evaluating all five choices.

During BR, without the same pressure, the questions felt much more straightforward. Two of the questions I missed were only 1–2 star difficulty questions, including the very first question. When I reviewed them afterward, the correct answers felt almost obvious.

Has anyone dealt with a similar gap between their timed performance and BR because of test anxiety? If so, what helped you slow down, properly evaluate each AC, and think as clearly during the actual exam as you do during BR?

I received 159 score on my last exam and got a very high Blind review. Now I took a practice section and didn't do well. In fact, I took an old section to see if I improved and I did worse. And one of the questions I got wrong is an easy question I spent considerable time studying and showed improvement . I also got a tutor too. I'm just so sad

September RC Help

I am officially locked in for september. All I want is a 158/160. I just scored a 156 with great LR sections and then a -13 on RC.

Nothing is clicking in RC - any tips to get to atleast a -9/-8 in just over 2 weeks…?

Hi! Looking for some advice on building endurance for the LSAT, especially for the last section of a PT/test.

I’m taking the September LSAT and lately I’ve been scoring around the mid-160s, but I’ve noticed a pretty consistent pattern where my last section is significantly worse than my earlier sections. For example, on my most recent PT my earlier LR was around -4, but my last LR initially came out to -11 with a -4 on BR.

I’ve noticed the same thing on a couple recent PTs where I feel like my accuracy/decision-making just drops toward the end and primarily in the fourth section.

I work full time, so a lot of my studying is before/after work, and I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar and found a good way to specifically train that 3rd/4th section endurance without just constantly taking full PTs.

Any tips or things that worked for you would be really appreciated :)

i need help

Im taking the LSAT in September i need a 160 but i'm stuck in the 150s i've finished most of the loophole done practice tests but the highest i've gotten on a pt is a 155 and the blind review was 160. i dont know what else to i've been studying since May and i'm honestly ready to give up.

Does anyone have any recommendations of what to study/ practice the week that I'm taking the LSAT. For the prior two weeks, I already have full lengths PT's planned twice a week, so I'm wondering if another PT is the method or if that will cause burn out/ not increase my score. Should I focus on questions by priority or stick to just timed sections to improve my time accuracy?

I can get around -5 on average on LR sections (best was -2), which I’m still not super satisfied with, but I’m registered for the September LSAT and idk how I’m supposed to get the same results under timed conditions. It usually takes me around 50–60 min to get those scores.

I know the main advice is to keep doing sections untimed and focus on accuracy until the timing naturally gets better, but with my test only a few weeks away, I don’t really have that much time to wait for that to happen. Any tips on what I should do? #help #lsatdrainsthelifeoutofme

Ask Me a Question!

Hello! Just wanted to challenge myself as the September administration rolls around the corner. If you have any LSAT-related questions or concepts that you've been struggling with and you just can't wrap your head around it, I can try my best to help explain it! I'm not a tutor, but I have been studying for a long time and can hopefully gain some insight and deep review while helping you out!

Just leave the question number below, as well as any of the qualms you might have with the answer. Thanks!

Blind Review Help

I completed a PT, and I am doing the blind review. I noticed all of the questions are blank. Aside from the questions I flagged or 7Sage suggested I take another look at, the questions I answered, which I assume I answered correctly because they were not circled are now blank. I checked off the box that would leave correct answered questions. Can someone please help? Does this mean I need to do the PT all over again? And blind reviewing takes much longer.

Is it possible to update the font size before a practice drill?

Updating the font size during the drill, takes time away from focusing on the drill itself.

The default size in the practice drills is too small to read without straining my eyes.

What is the default size for LSAC?

Is it possible to recommend to LSAC to make changing the font size at the beginning (during the instructions phase of the test) before the test starts as an option as opposed to during the test?

So I've been studying consistently, drill consistently every day about a section a day review and then two passages, vice versa (RC section the 10q LR) ... I've been seeing a huge gap between my first pass score timed sections, vs. my blind review. I've been keeping up on my wrong answer journal, I definitely see an improvement on the way I approached certain question types, but in all honesty I'm a bit nervous because I registered for the October test. Any tips?

Hello, whenever on the 7sage site I get 1 question at a time, I always do blind review if i did not get it correct the first time.

However, I have a problem when i get multiple questions, since I don't want to blind review if i did not know which questions I got right or not. Is there a way to blind review multiple questions but only do it for the ones that the system knows I got wrong?

Has anyone else using the stop-and-start accommodation noticed that when you pause the exam on LawHub, any answers you've crossed out don't persist (as in only the selected answer shows when you resume)? This makes it really hard to track which choices I'd already eliminated in a section, especially if I need to pause mid-question.

I've reached out to LSAC about whether this also happens in the actual test-day environment, or if it's just a LawHub practice quirk, but haven't gotten a clear answer yet in over 2 weeks. Has anyone tested this on an actual administration with this accommodation, or found a workaround?

Appreciate any insight — trying to figure this out before my October test.

I just came here to vent, but also look for help. I've been studying since last August, and it feels like I'm stuck in the same place. I've read the books, I've done the wrong answer journals, and I did the fundamentals on 7Sage, but it feels like nothing is working. On the drills, I feel way more comfortable, consistently getting just one or two wrong depending on how many, and even level 4/5 questions I get right every time. My diagnostic was a 148, but since then I've only had PT scores that are 153-155. Whenever I do sections for LR, I get about -9 to -7 on the first go, but on my Blind Reviews I'm consistently getting -3 to -2. The same goes for my PTs, where my blind reviews have been improving as I went from 165 to now scoring consistently in the 168 to 170 range. I've spent months trying to close this gap, but literally nothing is doing it. I'm already taking a gap year and plan to test in November; however, with my new full-time job, it's even harder to study. If I wasn't improving before, I don't see how I would now with this new schedule. At this point, I want to give up.

Has anyone felt this way? What are some tips, and how did you close your gap or motivate yourself?

January LSAT

Hey Everyone any recommendations on January Lsat, any admissions officers here with tips or if anyone knows people from the past. I know a lot of schools work on rolling admissions but would someone that scored in November and January with the same score do they have the same chance from acceptance and scholarship wise. Also, can u still get a full ride in January and a good acceptance rate or even any good scholarship?

Help!

I need advice! I write my LSAT for the first and only time on October 9th. I was planning to take all of September off to study. However, I just got an offer for a full-time job. It seems really relaxed and good. If I accept, I'm worried I won't do well enough on my LSAT. If I reject, I'm worried I won't be able to find another job after the LSAT. Since I don't live with my parents, I need some kind of income to allow me to pay rent and all that. Does anyone have advice? Anything would be greatly appreciated!
