So I took my LSAT in September and scored a 158. I registered for the September LSAT and I'm feeling very scared if I should honestly take it. I have been blind reviewing all my precious exams and my BR score varies from 162-165. I honestly just want above a 160 on my actual LSAT. My diagnostic was a 142 and a 16 point increase isn't bad at all. I just want to be able to know if I reschedule my exam till December will I still have a chance of applying to law schools for the Fall 2017 semester.

Hello, I was wondering may I bring a silent stop watch to the testing center? I have accommodations that give me more time and to use an analog watch or the Perfect Lsat watch wouldnt be of any use, so I was wondering if it is possible?

So yesterday I received my LSAT score and received a 158. It was a hard to accept but I realized I have to accept it and I have the chance to do better in September, especially because my diagnostic was in the 142, a 16 point increase. I honestly do not know where to start.

I have done preptests 50- 74 and had an average of 156. My ultimate goal is to get a 163 or higher which I believe could be done since I got 8 questions wrong on logic games on my actual LSAT. I also got 13 questions wrong for logical reasoning and 10 wrong on reading comprehension. I just want to know how should I go about taking preptests and studying? Should I go back to curriculum.

Is my goal unrealistic for remaining time period? Btw when I was studying for my June LSAT I had a part time job and was a full time student but for the time remaining I already quit my job so I may give my full effort to studying. Also should I supplement my 7sage curriculum with anything? I already used the LSAT Trainer and want to honestly do the best possible when it comes to the September LSAT. Its been a long journey and I do not want to give up without reaching my goal. Please help and provide any advice or personal experience! Thank you!!!

So I'm in a bit of a situation, I have taken the LSAT in June and I was approved for accommodations for that exam. I registered to take the LSAT again in September and I was approved again for accommodations the same accommodations that were given in June. But I had a recent check up with my neurologist and my condition has gotten progressively worse than before and he wrote me a letter for my University about my disability telling them I need many more accommodations to guarantee my safety as well as fairness when I go back to school. He also wrote me a letter for the LSAC to add more accommodations including supervised bathroom break. I have a history of seizures and when I have a seizure I fall down and usually hit my head ( I had a seizure during my June LSAT when I used the bathroom but I sucked it up and went on taking the exam). I was wondering how can I make the changes necessary to guarantee a fair testing environment for myself given my unfortunate condition? Thank you!

So I just have a quick question about percentiles. On the june LSAT I scored a 158 and on the LSAC website, it's says that's the 74th percentile. In comparing the 74th percentile with other conversion tables that is a 160 to a 161. I know the conversion chart varies from year to year, so I was wondering how do law schools look at your score. Do they see you as a 158 or do they see you as the 74th percentile or maybe they take both of these factors into consideration? May someone please clarify this for me?

Let me first start off by saying I am going to become a junior this fall semester at my university. I have never prepped for the LSAT prior to taking my diagnostic and I scored a 146. A month into studying I took another prep test and scored a 152. After blind reviewing and checking up on the trends of my exams, I realized I may need to take a look back at the fundamentals of logical reasoning section, which I have. I take a prep test tomorrow and I am hoping to get in the high 150's and my overall goal is to get in the 160's by the time of the October LSAT. If I don't reach my goal of averaging in the 160's by the end of august should I reschedule my LSAT or is there any other advice someone is willing to give. I get very nervous during my exams which I believe may have an impact on my grade. Please help me with some advice!

Recently there have been a theory that accommodated test takers will have to take the experimental section of the LSAT. I have contacted the LSAC through an email and I have stated:

"To Whom it May concern,

I am writing to the accommodations department of the LSAC about individuals who have extra time on the LSAT. If individuals have time and a half or double time to take the LSAT, will they be required to take the experimental section of the LSAT or will they only take the 4 sections and the writing sample like they have done in the past? For example, I have taken the June LSAT with time and a half due to my disabilities and was only required to take four sections and the writing sample. For the upcoming September LSAT I was approved for double time on the LSAT, so will I be taking four sections and the writing sample or 5 sections and the writing sample?"

Once I receive an answer ( I will receive an expedited answer due to an argument I had with an LSAC representative) I will inform everyone with a screenshot of LSAC's response. I have provided a link down below that outlines the lawsuit between the ADA and LSAC. I hope we may get an answer in our favor!

If anyone has sent an email to LSAC regarding the situation, may you please share your email and their response so we may get to the bottom of the situation at hand. Thank You!

So I am in a very difficult position, I was just offered a position to work with a New York State Senator specifically with criminal justice policies and restorative justice. I have had 3 prior internships. One was with the Manhattan district attorney's office, another with a local county district attorney's office and one with the Bronx Defenders ( public attorneys). I am conflicted about whether or not I should accept the position because I really want to focus on the LSAT because I scored a 158 the first time and want above a 160 and already registered for the September LSAT and the internship requires 10 hours a week on top of my school work ( I am a senior in college). I was wondering would this internship help me at all during the admissions process even if I get a LOR from a New York State senator? Please help!

I just have a quick question about the December LSAT. I was wondering if I take the December LSAT can I still apply for the Fall 2017 cycle or would it be to late?

I know some of us have been there, when you are sitting in front of your LSAT material and thinking to yourself " DO I really want to study on this beautiful day?" I have certainly been there and I am experiencing that right now, it's about 100 degrees in New York and very sunny, and all my friends are at the beach/pool/ waterparks! I am just sitting at a desk in the library really tired/bored of the LSAT even though I know I have to study. I was wondering has this happened to anyone, and if so what do you usually do? Also quick question about how the LSAT has had an impact on your personal life. I know the LSAT has strained my relationship with my girlfriend as well as my friends. My girlfriend was more understanding and actually encourages me to study but sometimes I feel guilty because I know she wants to hang out with me for the day ( My girlfriend is a senior at college just like me, and actually has a lot going for here. But she still finds time for me, but I can't say the same, I have been with her for over 7 years). My "friends" honestly stopped talking to me altogether ( we were a clique of 5 people who basically grew up with each other since we were in middle school/ high school). They just ignore me now and always tell me I do not have time for them ( they really do not have anything going for them, they are all college drop outs and work full time). I didn't mean to sound harsh in the last statement but a majority of my neighborhood is like that ( I am from the projects of New York). So I was wondering has anyone else had any similar experiences or stories they would like to share? I know the LSAT is a lot of stress but extraneous factors may also be leading to more stress, so I decided to talk about it with 7SAGE, because maybe someone may be experiencing similar situations and talking about it helps relieve my stress. So feel free to share your story or comment on mine!

I hope I help someone out and provide some encouragement for anyone who is trying to score above a 165. My LSAT prep has been a long and treacherous road for me. My diagnostic exam was a 142, when I found out my score, I thought I could never score high enough to get into my dream schools. It was a slap to the face and a good wake up call because I realized how serious this exam was. I studied more than 30 hours a week, with extensive blind review sessions and endless hours of going back to the curriculum to understand the fundamentals of the LSAT. Regardless of how long I studied I was barely increasing my score and all my friends who were studying with me were meeting their goals on the LSAT ( I was really happy for them but I was left discouraged). I honestly gave up when I couldn't score above a 150, I felt hopeless and was extremely burnt out. I was unmotivated to the point where I said F*** It! I took about 2 months off from studying for the LSAT (I started studying in June 2015) and I came to the realization, that becoming a lawyer is my dream job. As a kid, everyone asked you what do you want to be when you grow up, and I always answered A LAWYER! Thereon after, I didn't study harder but smarter, I knew burnout was a real thing and it can be a real B**** to deal with, so I set a schedule and stuck to it. I occasionally went out with friends and tried to exercise more to help me relax. My score was quickly rising from a 142 to a 158 ( my June 2016 LSAT Score). I was really happy with my increase in score, 16 points isn't that bad of an increase, but I was not satisfied because I knew I could do better. So after I received my June LSAT score, I took 2 weeks to gather my thoughts and understand how I should approach studying again after nearly a month off. I set myself a schedule of 6 hours a day (from 9 AM - Noon and from 1PM- 4 PM). I never went above this study time and never went over (except when taking the Practice tests). I am proud to say we are nearly 1 month and 13 days away from the exam and I have exceeded my expectations and I am averaging a 167. I just honestly want to say, when you feel unmotivated, discouraged, and beaten, you have to find it within yourself to make a comeback. I felt as if the LSAT was Ivan Drago from Rocky IV and I was Rocky. When it seems like you lost and you have been defeated just remember the bell hasn't rung yet, so you have to get up and start giving it your all and come out the fight VICTORIOUS!

Hey I was just wondering does everyone stick to the study schedule? I am a full time student, as well as work part time and was wondering if anyone actually sticks to it or just goes at their own pace?

Anyone want to blind review or want to study together that is from Westchester or NYC?

For everyone applying, I just read this article and thought it would be interesting to share =)

Sometimes when I would study for the LSAT I often wondered what was the history behind the exam and how it came to be. I noticed the first LSAT with a pdf file was in 1991 and I always wondered how did individuals become lawyers prior to the first LSAT. I found a pdf article about the topic and wanted to share it.

I recently received more time on the LSAT because I have a physical disability that puts me at an disadvantage to other test takers. That being said I am allotted 50% more time on my LSAT and the highest score I am receiving is a 159 with the extra time. I really need help because I want to score in the mid to high 160's and I am registered for the June LSAT. Any advice?

I am looking for a group of individuals who would like to work together during the blind review process. I attend Fordham University and I can get us a small study room with a white board and everything else that is needed. Looking for a dedicated and serious bunch of people who are ready to kill the LSAT together!

So I am a bit lost about what I should do. I got a 158 on my first LSAT in June, it was an 11 point increase from my 147 diagnostic. I attend Fordham University and have a 3.3 GPA. The reason for my low GPA is because I am epileptic ( I have uncontrollable seizures), my first two years at Fordham I barely kept a 3.0 because I was in and out of the hospital and once the office of disabilities got involved my GPA drastically increased my junior year. My fall semester of junior year I earned a 3.918 and my spring semester I earned a 3.6. This was a drastic increase especially because I learned how to manage my time especially with my disability. I was thinking about writing an addendum about my GPA explaining my situation. I was wondering should I re-take my LSAT in September, my dream school is Columbia University but I would be more than happy to attend schools such as Emory University, Georgia State, ASU (Arizona State University- O'Connor), Boston University, or Boston College. I come from an unprivileged background (grew up in poverty) and I am a minority ( middle eastern). Please help me!!! I am considering taking a re-take of the LSAT in September and I want other peoples opinions before July 4th, because July 5th I hope to begin studying again if I decide to take it over. Really need some input!! Thank You!! =)
