can you use a mouse for the in-person LSAT?

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.

Looking for a tutor

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.

😰 Anxious

Asking for Advice: Stuck at 166, Aiming for 171+

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

  1. Net effect/weighing factors (especially when co-tagged with causal reasoning)

  2. similarly, Resolve/Reconcile/Explain

  3. Hardest causal reasoning

  4. Hardest conditional reasoning tags (especially when co-tagged with a lot of other things).

  5. Hard/est strengthen or weaken

  6. Hard/est link assumption

  7. Hard/est most strongly/supported

Reading comprehension

  1. Hard/est implied

  2. Hardest author's perspective

  3. Weaken/strengthen/evaluate

Behavioral issues

  1. Answer-switching (from right to wrong)

  2. 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!

New interface - no pause button?

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?

😖 Frustrated

How often does 7Sage add new tags?

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?
