why not get just a one-off with a tutor to jump start thinking about any one section in a new way? that will probably answer your question as to whether to start regularly work with one

I just finished, but during my exam my proctor forgot to do the room scan after the break. So they made me do it during the exam, I lost about 4-5 minutes just because of the confusion of it all. So I had to rush through the entire section and would have had 5 minutes to spare which we all know is crucial.

This happened to me in March. I ignored the bubble popping up from the chat, but it still cost me about six points. I did not complain at the time.(needed a score) I took the test again on Friday, and this time reminded the proctor that he had to make me do the 360 test after the break. It cost me one minute but it was better than a pop-up bubble popping for the entire section. Ugh.

If you don’t need a score right now, I would complain. Good luck.

You can use 5 sheets of 2-sided paper

Hi! I'm a career-changer too. I found books to be the cheapest way to just get started. You can see your strengths and weaknesses. I liked "Loophole" by Cassidy, the Manhattan Prep RC book, and the PowerScore Logic Games bible for LG. Watch some free videos on Youtube, work on some Khan Academy, and see where you need to go! I've been very happy with 7sage Practice test analytics. You'll need an LSAC account and you'll need to pay the $99 for access to their tests since practice is important. Good luck!

I had a similar issue. I am considering complaining officially, but I'm afraid of how late they'll delay my score...

My proctor took over my mouse with roughly 45 seconds left on my LG section to click on the the chat box. I fought them doing this because I was scrambling to finish my last 3 questions until they eventually opened it. By the time I read the message and swapped back I was out of time and couldn't at least get a few shots-in the-dark-down. Kind of threw me off for the rest of the test, too. I don't feel too good about it.

Basically, I was reading the questions to myself out loud because I retain information better this way and the proctor was trying to tell me to stop talking. I didn't see this behavior explicitly prohibited in the candidate agreement. Everything in there is regarding discussion or disclosure of test information. My interpretation of "discussion" or "disclosure" would lead me to believe that there would have to be another party involved or that I was somehow showing others the test's contents. Given the nature of the at-home format, the fact that my dog was the only other creature around and my proctor knew my phone was away and what programs I had open, it would seem to be a sort of gray area.

Posting this to see if anyone thinks I should file a complaint. I've been tossing around potentially doing it, but can't tell if I'm being over-emotional or I have a legitimate gripe here.

I should also say that I understand that per the candidate agreement I am to follow proctor instructions. I definitely did and refrained from speaking aloud for the rest my test. Also, the proctor in question was different from the person I had originally started the test with. They also disconnected after my logic games section so I did not have an opportunity to ask them why they chose to go about telling me in that manner. Especially given the consideration that I had been reading to myself verbally for the entire section up until that point.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I thought comprehensive context would be important. I appreciate your replies!

Hi- did you get any responses to this question? I know it's 2 years ago- maybe you're not even checking this discussion anymore, LOL

this is exactly what I thought

Keeping a wrong answer journal is one of the best tips out there that a lot of people share. The thing is- after you do a practice section- collect a few of the easier ones you got wrong, not ALL of them. It's too overwhelming. Watch J-Y explain five LR questions that you got wrong before #20, for example. Then write in a document- summarize the stimulus and what made the right answer right, etc... for each one. Sometimes the brain is busy learning, flexing, re-shaping and in that time period cannot "perform" on the questions. But it's working on it! Best of luck to you!

yes please

this got me bc I should have noticed the emphasis on NUMBERS in the stimulus. Then it would have been clear to me that numbers of viewers are not as important to tv execs- and why?

Yay! Enjoy! It’s been a month and I’m trying the “boards” now. Still loving doing my LSAT study schedule, with links, repeating assignments…etc

Yes it's the SAME victims issue that I didn't notice at first

Ooof. That’s a doozy. The teacher does describe the statement as having been made and recorded by the reporter. But the student is like- “ well it would be the same if the reporter just made it up“

so helpful, thank you

Interested

Hi- I sent you my email, but if I didn't make the cut off (if you limited the number) please let me know. Maybe others are in the same boat and we could form a sub group. I'm happy to host on zoom.

Absolutely helpful- thank you!!

This is great Matthew. Please add me to this too.

great webinar, thank you!

thank you Tajira!

Interested!

On the last 7 Sage podcast, the guest speaker made a really great point about calming your anxiety by switching your focus to “did I follow my steps? “and away from “am I getting this right? “
