General · Stress management under timed conditions?

Just keep practicing, and keep timing yourself. Try to improve how many you are able to do with your time constraint without rushing(or guessing due to running out of time). As you get better at processing the questions, your speed will improve and you'll finish in less time. Concentrate on getting better(more accurate and faster). It is better to only get through 20 of the questions and be accurate than to rush through 26 questions and only get 5 or 6 of them right. Just my two cents.

Thanks 7sage!

I took the LSAT after self studying with some popular study aids and didnt do as well as I hoped. I vowed to do better the second time around and signed up with your program. After studying for 4 months, I took the LSAT again and my score went up 8 points! I also met a great person in the discussions forum that would trade personal statements with me. I critiqued hers and she did the same for me. Finally, I sent out my applications. I applied to 15 schools, got rejected to two, waitlisted 3, and the rest not only accepted me, but offered me scholly money.I m almost done with my first semester! I'm not at Yale or Harvard, but I'm in a great school and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you guys and that girl that helped me with my personal statement. Thanks again.

Test Center Review- La Sierra University (Riverside, CA)

Proctors: They were friendly. Did their job well in keeping everybody separated by one chair between each test taker and verified materials that were brought into the room.

Facilities: Test Center was located off campus in a small strip mall in a small building owned by the school. Clean and comfortable but kind of chilly. Take a sweater.

What kind of room: it was a big open room with various long tables as opposed to desks. There were about 5 test takers at each table with a chair in between each.

How many in the room: I think there were about 25 people

Desks: None, just long tables.

Left handed accommodations: Not sure what this means but, ok,sure.

Parking: ample parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: about 20 minutes

Irregularities or mishaps: I initially thought the test was on campus so I was wandering around campus looking for the test center. When I finally arrived to the testing center, they said it was off campus. I was almost late. Another thing that happened was that some guy showed up without a passport photo. He wanted to leave to go get a picture as required and they would not let him because he would have been late. He was unable to test that day.

Would you test here again?: no, I took my LSAT the first time here and the second time I went about a half hour further to get to another testing center. I'll review that one later.

Date of Exam: June 2015

7Sage is a great way to study, buy one of the programs and go through it. Buy your books on Amazon, many of them you could buy used with no visible signs of usage and at a good price, To learn more about the LSAT itself, you could Google LSAT and find tons of info on it. I'd probably start there, it doesn't sound like you've done much research into what you're getting into. I say that because you asked if it's harder than the ACT or SAT. It's for LAW SCHOOL , of course it's going to be harder. Good luck to you.

Immigration law. I went through the immigration process with my wife who is from Spain and we had a rough go of it. Very long story which I won't get into, but it got me interested in immigration law. I am 39 years old so I'm starting late but look forward to a long career.

I had the same experience at Saddleback College in Southern California today. When I took the test at La Sierra University in Riverside in June, I had tons of space, at a table, with my closest neighbor about 4 ft on either side of me. Today, I was in a typical classroom with those tiny ass desks with barely enough room for me to work . I had to fold my test booklet in half so that I had room for my scantron answer sheet. I had a dude in front of me that every time he moved would screw up my writing during the writing sample and the girl behind me had the worst breath imaginable. It smelled like 15 kinds of ass. Rant over.

"Skip Them. Keep Moving." Excellent advice. My pride gets in my way sometimes and keeps me from moving on. I tell myself, "I can get this..just ten more seconds...." Next thing I know I've wasted 3 minutes on one damn question. This adds to the stress of an already stressful test. Don't let your pride get in the way of skipping a question or two. We got this! Boom!
