Took a practice test on LawHub today, and I had to do it on Self-Paced Mode so I could use my stop/start accommodations. When I'd resume a section after pausing, it wouldn't let me unmask an answer choice I had masked before. At least once, I'd also resume a section after pausing and have less time than I was supposed to. Has anyone encountered these issues on test day? If so, how did you resolve them while testing in-person?
hi! here are some tips that helped for me:
I limit myself to 1/4 of my allotted time per passage (I have 150% time, so 13:15 per passage. if you have standard time, that would be 8:45 per passage).
In addition to making a passage map, I note down the positions attributed to every party (the author, critics, etc.).
I highlight specific words or phrases in the text that refer to the positions or opinions attributed to the parties mentioned (author, opponents, critics, etc.)
reviewing wrong answers is super important though! it shows what logical or procedural mistakes you tend to make under pressure. people can also give more targeted advice!
I think something is wrong with the calculator; at 170, Columbia and NYU are Super Reaches, and at 166 they are Reaches.
tbh i'm not in the mood to go on a scavenger hunt of the LSAC website and they're closed tmrw; just need to make sure i don't need to apply for it as an accommodation or smth.
Hi! I'm looking for someone to do a few tutoring sessions with me. I'm taking the August LSAT and want help going from a 166 to 171+. I'd like to hit the ground running, so I can give you all my data on the practice tests I've taken. Ideally would like to start ASAP, and would like to pay $50-75 an hour for sessions.
Hi everyone! I'm taking the August LSAT and am a splitter (my GPA is below the medians for all the schools I like because I started college as a pre-med major at a school notorious for grade deflation). I've plateaued at 164-166 for about 3 months now and I'd like advice from people who were able to break out of that.
Weaknesses:
Logical reasoning
Net effect/weighing factors (especially when co-tagged with causal reasoning)
similarly, Resolve/Reconcile/Explain
Hardest causal reasoning
Hardest conditional reasoning tags (especially when co-tagged with a lot of other things).
Hard/est strengthen or weaken
Hard/est link assumption
Hard/est most strongly/supported
Reading comprehension
Hard/est implied
Hardest author's perspective
Weaken/strengthen/evaluate
Behavioral issues
Answer-switching (from right to wrong)
Knowing which questions are hardest (and flagging them) but not answering them correctly.
Other helpful info about me:
I take the LSAT with time and a half, and stop/start accommodations;
On LR, I aim to leave 26.5 minutes for the last 10 questions. If it takes me longer than 90 seconds on the first pass to tackle a question, I come back to it. I only flag questions that I feel are really hard; I will note which questions I want to come back to on my scrap paper (that way when I'm reviewing before submitting a section, I know which specific questions to double check).
On RC, I spend 13 mins an 15 seconds on each passage + questions. I read for scale, summarize the main idea of each passage very briefly in a passage map, underlline any theses/main points in the paragraphs, and highlight any indicators of perspective (authors, allies, or opponents).

If you've experienced the same issues and have any tips for how you resolved them, I'd be incredibly thankful! I can also clarify anything or give more detailed analytics if needed. Thank you again!
I'm taking the August LSAT and I'm applying for the accommodation that allows for breaks during the test. I'm using the new interface and I see that there's no pause button. When will this be added?
I feel like in the last two months alone, 7Sage has introduced new tags (especially for LR) out of blue? While I appreciate the ability for more detailed analysis, it's a bit anxiety-inducing to discover there's a new dimension on this test that I need to master. How often does 7Sage add/discover tags?
I was between B and C, but chose B. I thought that C did close a gap in the argument (by proving that they didn't represent everyone as very pious), but I thought that that was less relevant than the point brought up in B. I thought that B weakened the argument by providing an alternative explanation, ie if the peasants spend a lot of time with clergy, then its plausible to believe that they're deeply dedicated to religion.
