i'm also interested in being added! I'm in the same exact boat, and trying to improve to hit high 160s/low 170s before June.

I slightly disagree with @-1's statement. I had originally planned to take the LSAT during the April date, but ended up pushing it to June. I did this for a couple of different reasons -- the LSAT is expensive, so if you do not think that you're going to do well enough, then why take it and waste over $200? Also, I don't see the point in showing law schools a slightly lower LSAT score when you could have waited a few months and scored some points higher.

Yes, it sucks that taking it in August means that you'll have to deal with the experimental section. But IMO that's a preferable option to rushing your preparation and taking the LSAT when you aren't ready. As you've probably seen with PTs, the LSAT isn't something that one should rush into with the mentality of thinking that the LSAT writers will be nice that month. Rather, they can be sadistic and throw at you the next infamous game --- having an easy test is a miracle that does not happen often.

Hey all, thanks for replying! I went ahead and reached out to a couple people, but if anyone falls through, I'll reach back out to others.

Please forward me the invite too please!

LG is the easiest section to improve so I would work on that. I watched JY's video explanations for the games that gave me trouble. I'd do my board setup, watch the video to see his, if my setup was correct then I'd tackle the questions on my own then finish the video. I did this multiple times. Now I'm consistently scoring between -1 to -3

Unfortunately I'm not really looking to improve for LG since I'm usually -0 to -1 questions per section. I would love to hear any tips you have for the other sections though!

They send out a link a week or two before the test and you sign up then. For the Feb 20 test day, the email came out Feb 11.

Cool, thanks for the info! That's what I thought but just wanted to check, since i couldn't find that info online.

I read that we could have a plastic water bottle... little did I know that a plain glass cup full of water, and no ice, was not allowed on my desk! Not sure why, but this and the chapstick shows you the weird little intricacies with what you're allowed to have on a desk ¯_(ツ)_/¯

How is the writing portion administered? My initial thought was over ProctorU, same as the real LSAT, but we didn't sign up for any test dates/times for the writing portion. But I know that there is still a video and time requirement to ensure that you don't get extra help, browse the internet, etc. Any knowledge about this?

I'm also interested in this! Scoring usually around 165, and aiming to break the 170s. Solid on RC and LG (timing is still somewhat an issue but always -0 on BR), and i'm working to improve my LR.

I've used ProctorU in the past (not for the LSAT), and they run a script that ensures that you do not have a monitor even connected to your laptop. You would also need a webcam, so unless your other monitor has one, they can't ensure that you are only using one screen (as far as I know).

If you take the LSAT again, you could always try to get an accommodation from LSAC or use their technology lending program. It's probably a bit late for that now, but could work in the future.

@ said:

will they include an experimental section as well?

I'm pretty sure that the fourth section is the experimental section. LSAC is not going back to 2 LR sections; they plan on keeping 1 section per subject (e.g., LG, LR, RC) and putting the experimental section back in. Which makes sense IMO because they still need to test future questions/question types.

So disregard this post!

@ That sucks... but okay thanks for letting me know!
