Is there a way to make the drill timer cut you off at 35 minutes when doing a full section-length drill?

I am very much interested too!
Have you considered reaching out to a UCI student ambassador?
Ambassadors usually provide some decent perspective but can be a little biased depending on who you talk to.

@ Yes, you can adjust the time by tapping on the clock icon on the Digital Tester. You can then select either time accommodation, 1 min/ques, 35 minutes, Target Time or Unlimited time. See the sample GIF below:

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
Hi everyone. I have noticed significant improvement over the course of my studies with LG due to foolproofing, especially with my initial set ups, nailing inferences as well as my confidence!
However, I am still making stupid mistakes here and there on the actual questions, especially during timed practice.
Will more foolproofing help out or is that more relevant for finding inferences?
I assume I will get more accurate consistently by drilling, which I am currently doing, but any advice would be helpful!
I am aware of sites such as Rate My Professor and Above the Law, but does anyone have any other websites to look at? I assume Reddit is a popular option as well.
Thank you so much! Did not expect to be rewarded and really grateful for it!
Congrats thats huge! Will be sending you a PM for sure
Is taking the LSAT in January and submitting my application materials too late for the Fall 2024 class?
I have been out of college for some time and really do not want to put off law school any longer so any advice is greatly appreciated. I understand it would put me at a disadvantage compared to those applying before thanksgiving but do I still have a decent shot if I score in the high 160's? I have backups that are decent in the T50s and below but ideally I would like T30 and above.
I'd love to join! Im also trying to improve LG and RC. I'm an international but super flexible with timing.
Hi everyone. Just wanted to get your takes on the diversity statement/additional essays.
How much would it hurt me to forgo these and simply submit just my personal statement?
I have read that forcing a diversity statement is not a good idea and even though I am an international, I just can't seem to write an effective essay on the topic!
On the other hand, I am considering writing additional essays (especially the "why do you want to go to our law school" prompt) and short answer essays for my top choice schools but again is this essential?
As a final note, what's the best place to get someone to check over my personal statement? I am considering using 7sage services but alternatives are welcome.
Score plateaus are very common and normal. Im going through one right now actually!
What are your average scores for the sections? Are they pretty samey across the board?
LG seem to be the easiest to improve upon so focusing on that and drilling should boost your score up.
I am not entirely sure about Canadian law admissions but I have spoken to US law school admission departments about this topic.
I have been writing a few personal statements centered around my reason for wanting to be a lawyer and, like you, I wanted to mention an experience that took place during high school. I did a work experience at a big law firm whilst in my junior year and most of my essays were centered on it, which I felt was appropriate given that it solidified my desire to become an attorney.
However, after speaking with numerous admissions officers (for US law schools), all of them did say that whilst it is ok to mention it, do not make the entire essay about your time in high school as they wish to see who you are now, not in the past. What they want to see in this case is a progression of your interest in law from that high school experience to now. Essentially your journey.
I must ask, are you heading straight from undergrad to law school? If not, then the admissions officers warned it may be better to write about more current experiences.
I hope this has helped in some way.

Hello,
What is your LSAT goal? If its's 160, then you just need to get 18 questions right in all sections. Try to look at the bigger picture of the passage. Suppose, if you have to explain this passage to your little brother who is in grade 3 and you can't do it, then we are going back to the passage.
Focus on one line and don't move to another one if you can't explain it to your little brother.
Hope this helps :)
I'm already hitting 160 but RC seems to be the section where I am hemorrhaging the most points. I started reading the passage like you've mentioned and I can usually explain them easily in my own words but it seems like timing is my enemy on the section.

Maybe you could try Spreeder, if 7Sage's lessons are not helpful? That may help you retain more when you speed read. If you sign up for the free emails from
Graeme from LSAT Hacks, on day 4 he gives you his rules for how to succeed with Spreeder. Good luck!
Thank you, I'll check this out. I love 7sage and its been incredibly helpful overall but RC is still a pain! Always open to other options and perspectives like this one.
I have been trying out various strategies and all seem to come with pros and cons. Initially I was speed reading (as I usually do), which gave me some time left over, but I made a lot of silly mistakes. I switched to an approach where I really engage with the passage, essentially talking it through in my own words and ensuring a solid understanding (or as best as I can get), but again I make those same errors and even feel time crunched for the last passage which i have to rush through.
What tips have helped you improve your RC score?

you should youtube search 180 minimalist his approach is helpful and addresses issues beyond methods and techniques that could be helpful
Thank you for bringing the channel to my attention, its awesome! Also been looking at his comments on Reddit
Hi everyone, I know this has been mentioned before and I even commented on a post about this but is it normal to score better on one of the 2 LR sections every time on PTs? I consistently get around -5 for the first section and -8 on the second. Is the second section generally harder or is it perhaps fatigue?
Also am I right in assuming that the experimental section on the real test isn't guaranteed to be LR? At this point I am kind of hoping two LG section come up as they are actually kind of fun. Still making small stupid mistakes on them but hoping I get more accurate with more practice.
Hi everyone, I am feeling so incredibly infuriated with my current score plateau and I can't seem to be improving. I have read that score plateaus are very common but how does one break through? Ive tried powering through, taking breaks for a few days but the score will not change no matter what I do. My BR scores are decent but I just find myself getting so frustrated and actually angry at this point.
Anya advice would be greatly appreciated.
Each person is different but I'm sure you can do it. LG is the easiest section to improve on and you can do so by really focusing on doing the foolproof method - repeating the same logic games that give you trouble over and over until you can pretty much do them from memory. You build up the ability to make inferences and it should help raise your score into the 160s. LR and RC take more time to improve on but try to figure out where your problem areas are and tackle those.
In short, put a lot of effort into improving your LG score but don't neglect RC and LR practice. You've got this.
Hey everyone, I have written a personal statement that I am very happy with and wanted to get it checked over by one of the consultants at 7sage just to get their take on it. Has anyone used either the single essay edit or hourly consultation? Not sure which one to choose.
If anyone else wants to read it over, Id be grateful!
The answer for this probably differs depending on the individual but is there a generally accepted number of PTs that are recommended before doing the real thing?
@
The 90s are a bit easier, as well as some of the 70s. I'd give PT91 a shot and go from there, especially since you're a month away from the real test. If you want a challenge (ideally 2-3 weeks before your real LSAT) do PT 88-89. Save PT93 for a week before your test.
I think I'll do that. Might just take on a few more 80s and then start with PT91 and leave PT93 for last as you've recommended. If I have time, I'll revisit some more PTs. How many would you recommend one does before the exam? Ive seen people recommending between 20-40.
Awesome thanks @. Do you know if any of the more recent ones have been any easier? Definitely trying to get comfortable with these as they are daunting and taking a little more time out to really dig in deep and figure out what I can improve in these PTs.
Was a little worried about timing but really appreciate the words of encouragement!
I am very interested if the offer still stands!
