Thank you so much @ . Do we need to take the entire 10 minutes intermission or we can resume to get ready for the next section before the entire intermission is over?

You can click check in before the 10 mins is up, but you still have to wait the full 10 mins.

Thank you @ . Best of luck to you. Do we take the intermission on our own or proctor will monitor the intermission?

When I took it in October I'm pretty sure I was told at the beginning of the test to tell the proctor when it was time for intermission then a 10 minute timer started. When I checked in after the timer I was then connected to a proctor who asked me to reshow my room and desk and then they entered a password and my third section started.

I know it seems daunting, but it is actually really straight forward on test day!

No, I took October and my experimental was second

I took the test four times because my score was so much lower on my first three LSATS than my practice tests. Maybe this isn't the best way to go for everyone, but I went from a 160 or below on three tests (I was scoring 165-170 on practice tests) to a 171. The biggest change I made the fourth time was taking significant measures to cope with test anxiety. For me, this included not telling anyone I was studying for or taking the test for a fourth time. I think it helped a lot. Reduce as much pressure as you can!

I agree with this 100%, my testing experience was so much better when I didn't tell anyone I was taking the test. I didn't feel the pressure of other people's expectations weighing on every question.

@ do we need to show proctor our snacks before we start exam?

During the test you're not allowed to have snacks on your desk, only the things on the list of allowable items are able to be on your desk. You'll show the proctor your desk and the items on it at the beginning of the test and then again when intermission is over. During intermission the screen changes to be a countdown clock, during this time you can eat if you want at your desk, but once the 10 mins is up you'll re-check in and they'll look over your desk to make sure it is just the allowable items before letting you continue.

You can do whatever you want during the intermission (minus prohibited things like looking at your phone, discussing the test with others etc). During my intermission I left and came back with a cup full of ice (unsure my thought process that day, but thought munching on ice would wake me up after 2 RC sections lol) and ate it at my desk while watching the timer. I was too scared to be out of the room too long incase I misjudged ten minutes and was late to check in.

I usually take PTs in flex mode so then it is graded as 3 sections, then I will just set up a problem set for an experimental. You could also look at the following site that shows the score conversion for 90, 91, 92 which are scored on three sections to give you an idea of what you would need to get your goal score (for these 3, 7-9 wrong is a 170 depending on the test)

You'll want to do at least a few practice tests with an experimental just to practice pace and timing. I also add in a 10 min break between sections 2 and 3 as I want to simulate test day conditions as close as possible. I usually just create a problem set of whatever I feel like doing an extra section of that day, or if I want a challenge I'll add in a second RC (as this is my least favourite section). I think this helped me on actual test day when I was given two RC in a row.

Okay I recall some details on my LR sections:

26 LR: Disease incidence in mountain and lowland oppossums, mayor using offensive terms, iron vs rock meteorites, stone tools.

25 LR: Fruit juice with added colors, moral culpability during lucid dreaming, moral behavior and severe harm.

Some other questions that I remember but don't recall which sections: firing employees at a news station to save costs, paleolithic fishing/agriculture.

If you had a single lr, please @ if any of these ring a bell. If you had dubs and both ring a bell, please lmk what topics went to which sections and if you can recall any others.

I only had one LR and your first topics sound familiar as well as a question about children vs adults learning through play if that rings a bell for you. My only LR had 26q.

Any one knows whether Powerscore will release a review podcast for this October LSAT?

They said on Twitter that one will be released this week

Hi Matt- It's the exact same as it is on LawHub. I just looked on LawHub and you can click the clock and hide it so you should be able to do the same on the test!

I took Oct and had a TV in the room with no issues, but putting a towel or sheet over it could solve the issue if you're feeling paranoid!

@ They have been released on Law Hub http://lawhub.lsac.org

Apologies if this has been asked before, any eta on when 91+ and 92+ will be available to review or score on 7sage? Just finished 91+ & plan to do 92+ before November as these are the most recent tests avaliable.

I'm guessing LSAC hasn't released a curve so it would be kinda hard to score it. Anyone remember Powerscore's prediction or have a prediction for the curve? I breezed through the LG & LR for 91+ but that RC was one of the hardest I've had. Usually average -2/3 but got -5 on this RC. The taxidermy and Patent protection passages were brutal.

Just looking for general thoughts on 91+ and if anyone wanted to discuss/compare?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but you can see the raw score conversion chart at the following link released by LSAC: https://lsac.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408102678039-Prep-Test-91-Conversion-Chart

I agree with @ that I leave the comparative until the end, but I would add that with the comparative, control-F will often be your friend if you're running out of time. Often the comparative passage will have questions that only deal with something in A or B and if you ctrl-F words in the answers, you will see they actually belong to the other passage and not the one the question refers to so you can quickly get rid of incorrect choices. Or the opposite, if a question is referring to something that should appear in both A and B, you can eliminate choices that only appear in one of the two.

I struggle hard with RC, but have found that often I get overwhelmed by trying to fit all 4 in so giving myself more time on 3 has definitely helped.
