Hi there,

I've found a significant discrepancy between the scores the 7sage Flex calculator and the Powerscore Flex calculator spit out.

Powerscore link here: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/lsat-flex-how-to-score-your-tests/

A -6 gives a 170 in the 7Sage calculator for many tests, whereas the Powerscore calculator would give a -6 a 168 with the default settings.

Disclaimer: I do not subscribe to Powerscore, but I do listen to their podcast. They've claimed their scale estimations seem to be borne out by student experience, but I'm not so sure that they know this for a fact. Or maybe they have insider knowledge..

The harder scale would seem to be consistent with the fewer anecdotal reports of over-performances after the August Flex.

I understand that LSAC has not responded to requests for scale info, but does anyone have an idea which one of these tools is most accurate?

Thanks!

I am trying to get a full ride+ to pursue public interest.

I took the October LSAT and scored low/mid 160s, below my average PT score (170). I’m taking the November test, and planning on getting apps in around the same time as score release.

If I don’t hit my goal score on the November test, would it be reasonable to apply with my 16X, get admissions offers (and likely not enough scholarship), retake in January and - assuming I hit the mark in January - ask for a reconsideration of scholarship based on that score?

Is that common practice? Is it likely to have success? (Or will schools have distributed their scholarship allocations by then?)

Waiting a cycle is not really on the table unless it absolutely has to be - but I’d rather wait than end up w loans or at a school with abysmal employment stats.

I tried a practice test shortly after starting 7sage to see how the interface looked and felt, with no intention of finishing the PT. My score of 120 is sticking around despite not having actually taken the test "for real." Not a big deal, but it's kinda messing with my analytics and the trends I see. Is there anyway to clear this out of the system?

I just tried the 2nd logic game from PT8 - did it as a problem set.

I was COMPLETELY stumped. completely. i guessed on 4/5 questions.

then on blind review, I realized that scrolling was necessary to see the last, and most important, rule.

I would hate so much for this or something like this to happen on the actual LSAT.

how similar/different is the 7sage problem set/prep test platform to that of LSAC's?

is scrolling for additional rules a factor on the digital LSAT?

is the system for greying out answers you rule out the same?

what's the best way to simulate the actual digital environment?

I feel like I might be missing something - is there a way to flag answers on 7sage similarly to how flagging is done on the digital LSAT?

Took October, signed up for November.

I've done the games from most of the 1-35 and many of the 40s. Have many 60s, 70s, and 80s tests yet to take - more tests than I can take before November, which will by my final LSAT attempt.

How do I prioritize (or should I just go semi-random)? Would doing all 80s and a couple 70s leave me at a disadvantage if new tests pull from old material? How are y'all handling this?

Are there particular tests that stand out as "must dos?"

Hey,

Just an observation I've had. My logic games prep has been really focused on 1-35 with some 40s and recently some low 50s mixed in.

I've been working very hard on these earlier games for about 2 months, and have made a lot of progress. I started out totally sucking at games (-14 diagnostic) and through foolproofing, or a version of it, have gotten to -4 average or so, and still improving.

A few recent problem sets have totally killed me with conditional sequencing though, and I realized that this game type is very uncommon in early games, increasing in frequency (though still relatively rare) in later games.

Are there other trends like this to be aware of, in games specifically (besides substitution questions)?
