I'm having this same issue. The 10th will be my 3rd attempt, 7Sage has been a huge help, there's several foundational lessons I'm getting that the programs I purchased previously didn't have. I'm feeling more confident since working with the curriculum. Thanks for your post, it does give me hope! Best of luck at your new school!!

We've had severe wind here where I am and it cut out my wifi for the study group and I am so bummed about it. I will be there next month for sure.

They will let you have 5 sheets of paper for the exam, I have found that I really like graph paper or plain white paper versus ruled paper but it's totally up to you.

Really thankful that they are bringing awareness to the issues with ProctorU because I struggled terribly and my scores were terrible because of my issues with ProctorU the first two times and there wasn't a way to report it at first, now it's at your own risk, and I really hope that they evaluate what they are paying for with ProctorU and the service they are actually receiving. On an already stressful day, this was extremely infuriating to deal with.

My sessions were LG-LR-RC-LR, and I found them to be fairly equal in difficulty. I honestly don't remember specific questions as much as I wish I did; it all seems to blend together some times. I did struggle with time and am concerned that I will receive a lower score as a result, but I feel like this was the first time I had a good experience with ProctorU.

I had the second set of LG games that they speak about in the PS podcast and ran out of time for the double circular game at the end. Worried about that one and struggled some with the Fiction/Non-Fiction questions. I wish that if they are planning to get rid of a section that they would place less numerical value on that section as they fade it out.

I had the second set of RC questions that they spoke about, I struggled with time towards the end and those passages were pretty difficult so I am worried about that section as well. I agree, it was an interesting set of passages but if you had time to read them and take them in, not amidst the timed LSAT. I'm thankful that I had two LR sections, both were equally hard and weren't too bad.

@-1 thank you for your comment, if I have issues in Feb I am calling them. I didn't even think of that as an option, I thought of everything online but it would have been a huge support to explain to them what happened and have validation and help.

I don't understand the whole percentages to know what you are asking for but my first score was in the percentile bracket you are missing. The only thing out beside it is a 17%, score was 143. FYI: I had a absolutely awful time with the proxy service when I tested that time and was not an accurate portrayal of my capability.

I am so sorry you guys had trouble too, I thought I was alone. I took the test last June and the proctor started 45 min late claiming they couldn't connect to my computer, although my computer showed a connection. They interrupted twice during the test saying they lost connection and it was a mess. I lost concentration and scored below 150. I then took it again in October and the first half went well other than the chat box showed that they were connecting the whole time, when I came back from break they didn't come on for about 15 min so I said I was going to try to find another way to instantly speak with them because the chat was not working, the proctor came right on and checked my room and then said he would enter the pw so I could start again, 15 more minutes goes by of nothing so I say again that I am going to try to connect somehow online and as I start to change the internet tab the proctor comes on and takes over my mouse and enters the password. By the last quarter of the test my water was kicking in and I lost focus yet again, after the test they never came on for a good 10 min so I ripped up and counted my scratch paper onscreen and said I had to go I couldn't wait any longer and the proctor pops on like he was there the whole time and tells me to go ahead.

When I took the test in June there was no option to complain like they have now so I had no idea what to do and just signed up to take it again. The second time my score was exactly the same as the first time. It doesn't match my pretest scores by any means. This time around I filed a complaint but was scared to file an official complaint. I have signed up to take it again in Feb but have no idea how it's going to go with the proctor nightmare.

This one went smoother for me then the last two times I took it. Hoping the score reflects my feelings. Hope everyone has great scores!

Best of luck to everyone! This will be my 3rd trip, the first two I struggled a lot with the Proxy service, I noticed that LSAC now has a form up that you can fill out if you have issues with the proxy and you feel that it was a detriment to your testing experience and they will give you some options such as they hold your score while they investigate and if they find that the proxy was an issue they let you take the test again or if they don't find an issue they release the score you had and so forth. I have heard that LSAC is really responsive to that form and have been considerate and willing to work with students. So if you get through the test and it was a nightmare with the proxy like I had, don't make yourself sick worrying like I did last time, there's hope, you aren't expected to just put up with it.

That said, I've heard several people say the proxy service was a breeze for them so it's not a for sure thing that they are a issue just something to keep in mind and that doesn't have to be an added stress to you.

I forgot I wanted to mention to you something that I have found really helpful. They recommend practicing the 1 and 2 star LR questions on the drills on this site, so you set it up to do all the LR and set it to the easiest ones and then practice going through them in a minute or less for each question. They say that practicing these and the speed can help you with up to 10 points come test time. I just learned about it last week from one of the live tutors but it's been huge, I rarely miss any of them and my time is down to less than a minute for almost all of them so it leaves time for the harder ones and helps boost your score having practice answering the easiest ones.

Additionally, I have heard both good and bad things about the Blind Review method, I don't know if you use that method or not but I've heard friends say it was a huge time suck and didn't benefit them as much as just going over the reasons they get things wrong each time and moving on. I use it from time to time but because it wasn't a pattern of mine I haven't been real dedicated to it but I do always go back and look at it until I understand what I did wrong.

Hi B_Maximum! Thank you for such a kind reply, never fear, I always have time to talk strategy for LSAT! I really appreciate your insight into the different programs, that is helpful. I do appreciate PowerScore for the foundation I received from them. When we had meetings with Law School students at our university I always asked what they used for studying and PowerScore has been the unanimous answer for just about all of them, some coupled it with Kahn. My professors kept pushing Kahn because it's created by LSAC. I found that Kahn lacks a lot of depth and challenge to it and PowerScore is great for a starting foundation but I found that most of the other programs use sort of a universal dialogue for all the LR question types and PowerScore uses some of it but also has their own terms for things that I found hard to integrate with the other programs. I appreciate the knowledge they gave us about hard and soft terms in the stems and answers, I think that is vital and I've not heard it elsewhere but I feel like I got a more in depth understanding from 7Sage with LR, if that makes sense? I haven't tried LSAT trainer other than I will look up a question now and then and they have really good break downs of them so I will start looking into it as a regular thing now too. Thanks for that advice, I wasn't sure if it was worth doing or not. I've never checked out Manhatten Prep before but I will give it a look as well. I know until this last year I never qualified for the fee waiver for anything and was paying for courses and tests before but somehow they changed things and I managed to qualify this year and have gotten access to not only 7Sage but also LSAT Max and Magoosh. However, I have heard so much about 7Sage that I started their curriculum and haven't checked into much else since. I will take a look over the next month or two at the others you mentioned and get a good feel of them, it sounds like they've been super valuable to you and it seems as if we might benefit from many of the same things. I've been on this journey for a little over a year and even though it's a rough way to go through it that I wouldn't wish on anyone else, it is still a relief to know someone else is going through a very similar experience. I look forward to the future and hearing about how awesome you did the next time around!

Hello, I just wanted to chime in and let you know you are not alone and that your post has helped me tremendously. I took the LSAT in June 2022, scored 143. Took it again this last October and scored another 143. I started with the Power Score bibles, moved to the full online course and always used Khan on and off and ironically my mistakes are very similar to yours. I believe the only thing different is I struggled tremendously in June with the proctor set up and again in October. My PT's were always between 150-155. 7Sage has been the big change for me this time around, I am taking the LSAT again this Saturday and am already planning to take it again later in the year because I'm pretty sure I could make the score needed to get into the school I want to but better scores would pair excellent with my high GPA and help fund my schooling a lot better. RC has always been a struggle for me but I feel like attending the live classes on 7Sage with the different tutors has helped me formulate a strategy that really helps me with RC, I'm not sure if you've tried any of them but I find them extremely helpful. I have a husband and 3 children that I care for and that care for me so tutoring isn't' an affordable option for me and I think the live classes have been a huge advantage in place of tutoring. I wish you the best of luck and wish I had magic words to make the path clearer for you but the best I can do is offer to be here to talk to if you need and wish you the best.

Are you doing the blind method when you pretest and are you using the wrong answer journal and making sure you understand why each of the wrong answers are wrong and what makes the right one right? I am in a similar funk right now as well and I have found that much of it is due to my not being more dedicated to following up with the wrong answers and why I missed what I did. Additionally, something I have found really helpful is to print or set up drills of easy RC and I take them with me in the car or anywhere I have to wait for long periods of time and I pull them out and work on them. (I do it with LR and practice getting them answered in less than a minute as well and its a huge help) It helps strengthen your core skills on the the easy questions and it helps you make sure you get at least that many questions right if you're practiced at answering them quickly. That leaves time for you to focus on the tougher questions as well. Best of luck to you!

Hi Guys, I went through this the first time or two that I took the LSAT. I also take it this Saturday but stress anxiety is a HUGE reason I have taken it multiple times. I don't want to say this to be Nellie Negative or anything but if it is the result of nerves you shouldn't just chop it up and forget about it. That's a form of text anxiety that you could very well get in check before test day. I use and will be using this week and Saturday on test day, guided meditation and deep breathing techniques. If you have just 5-10 minutes this will help you sort of focus on your breathing and calm anxiety. (deep breathing resets your vasovagal system which helps your brain to calm down). It can't hurt by any means but I can tell you that if you are nervous you want to take steps now to bring the anxiety to a normal daily level not have it amped up on test day or you will have trouble focusing. Here are links to some of my favorite videos:

Best of luck and calm centered focus to all of you this weekend, you got this!!

These are wonderful, thank you very much, I have them printed as we speak. Huge help!!!
