@lawgirly responding to this beacuse i am unsure as well and would like help!

Hi, it took me about a full week to hear back the first time. When I requested new/more it took only a few days. This was in the spring when testing isnt as popular so I would expect a little longer during this high testing period!

I highly recommend signing up for two if it’s within your budget and schedule. Knowing you have another test date to fall back on can take a lot of the nerves out of the first one and ultimately help you perform your best. Plus, getting the first test out of the way can be a huge hurdle. By the second test, you’ll already know what to expect, which can make a big difference in your confidence and performance.

I watch them if I was between two answers, guessed, or flagged them for any reason. Other than that, if I understand why it is right, and the others are 100% wrong, I move on.

@mjfromcanada Sorry, I’m just now realizing what you mean! I took it in April before this was a new requirement, so I’m not completely sure. But I think it’s supposed to show your computer to make sure you don’t have any test materials hidden that the camera inside your computer wouldnt be able to see.

@mjfromcanada Hi, I'm not sure if I know what you're referring to by second camera. Are you talking about if you do not have a camera built into your computer you will be using? If so, in that case I think they just require you to connect one so they can see you in the frame.

@ryumi Hey! Prior to testing, there were kind of two separate check-ins. They had one just confirming everything, then the real check-in where they’ll have you show them your outlet for your charger (it needs to be plugged into the wall), your chair, desk, arms, behind your ears, and all the random things. It took maybe 10 minutes max.

For the meds and other things, you should be good! I had my pills with me. I would just make sure your earplugs are foam, since those are the only ones allowed. For tissues, I would maybe take them out of any packaging with writing on it just in case!

I have no clue if you can zoom in/out. Since they have you download all the locked browsers and everything, I’m not sure if it allows that, but worst case, it just won’t let you if you try.

The start/stop was not a problem at all for me. Just make sure you don’t leave the camera view because you’ll need to restart the check-in. Good luck!!

I was SO nervous about taking it remotely. Thank gosh, I had no real problems. I had some wifi problems but it only caused me to need to restart the check-in process. Before I started, I kindly asked the proctor to turn off their mic, not interrupt, and I would let them know if I needed anything and although I am sure they were readily aware, it helped ease my mind vocalizing it. They were all very kind and helpful. I hope this helps a little and good luck!

Addressing the poor PT score first: let it go! I would recommend not taking a PT the week of your test in the future, just to minimize unnecessary stress. You’re anxious, overthinking, and overanalyzing the questions/score right now most likely. Think of this last PT as the bad one you got out of the way so it doesn’t happen on your actual test day. You got the nerves out on a PT, so hopefully your real test this week will go much better.

As for improving before October, I definitely second the comments saying to analyze your priorities. I would spend most of your time doing targeted, untimed drilling. Really understanding the question types you consistently get wrong will not only increase your accuracy, but also help you know what to expect, which can improve your speed.

I would aim for 2–3 timed sections a week, and one full PT only if you have enough time to really deeply review it and put the answers into your wrong-answer journal. Quality studying is much more important than the quantity of questions you’re drilling.

Good luck! I hope this helps!

@Walrus also I wanna say they calculate them on how they appear on your home transcript beacuse they would have been transferred into your total credits for graduation if that makes sense? Could also put your transcript into the 7sage calculator to try to see

My program was outside of my university and they required me to send the host universities transcript because I technically "transferred" even though I was still a student at my home institution.. so idk if that helps but they did end up making me so maybe have it on hand just in case.

I'm still applying, so I'm not an expert, but I will tell you what I've been told and have learned recently.

First off, the addendum should be framed less as “here is everything that negatively affected my GPA” and more as “here is what happened, and here is how I responded.” You want to briefly acknowledge the circumstances that contributed to the lower grades, but the emphasis should be on the upward trend afterward. The most compelling part of your story is that, once you got through that difficult period, your academic performance improved. That gives admissions a reason to view your cumulative GPA as less representative of your current academic ability and instead shows your hard work and drive in overcoming your situation.

For the personal statement, I’m also writing about adversity I’ve overcome because I want the statement to show not just what I’ve been through, but how it shaped why I want to go to law school. My structure is basically: the story/context → what came from it → why law → how it will make me a better lawyer → what I can contribute to that specific law school. I think the last two parts are especially important because I don’t want the essay to just be about overcoming something; I want to show how that experience will shape the kind of lawyer I become and, most importantly, what I would bring to each school. I’m going to tailor that part to every school’s specific mission, values, programs, and community, so I would recommend that.

Overall, I think having a true reason why from your story is really strong and meaningful. Props to you for channeling this into fire to help others in the future. Good luck on your applications and I hope this helps a little!

Have you taken all the experimental sections? If not, take those and you can try to find tests with the same question amounts to make your own test kinda. If you have, I'd just retake a few old ones you dont remember great.

This was a huge problem for me, and it still happens occasionally, but I fixed most of it with some simple advice I got. As you know, you want to predict answers as best you can before looking at the answer choices. I really try to force myself to do this, even if it means doing untimed work and slowing down. Normally, you can predict the answer correctly, but then you see a trap answer, second-guess yourself, and pick the wrong one. So, holding onto your prediction is really helpful.

If I see an answer that truly changes my mind, I have a two-step process before changing my answer. First, I ask myself, What is wrong with my first guess? If I truly cannot find a good reason why it is wrong, I keep it. Second, I ask, Why is this other answer better, and does it fully answer the question I’m being asked, or does it answer another assumption I made in my head? If I get through those questions and still think the second answer is better, then I switch. If not, I don’t.

If I’m not 100% sure, I flag it and come back. Sometimes, having a fresh mind after answering a few other questions really helps, too. Overall, just make sure you’re slowing down and answering only the question you’re actually being asked. Hopefully this makes sense!

Don't be discouraged, it takes time, but huge improvements happen when you start getting a better grasp of the test. My diagnostic was a 132, and I jumped a solid 20 points just from thoroughly doing the core curriculum, and then started seeing more realistic growth after that when I started drilling. I would do the core curriculum on 7Sage really in-depth. Sometimes it's hard and you wanna skip it and get to drilling, but it's really relevant and helped me a lot. Once you're done, then start drilling intentionally instead of jumping into random questions.

Hi! Looking for tutor ASAP. Please DM me if youre still taking new students

Have you done all the experimental sections? If not, Id find a test with the same number of questions and put those together then put your raw score of each section into the LSAT demon score convertor to make a make shift like test if that makes sense.
