I remember learning somewhere that it is known which questions in each section are most difficult and easiest. Does anyone know which are which for each section?

I am taking LSAT this coming Saturday.

I have been panicking and stressed out for the past 3 weeks and came to a decision to take another LSAT next year. It would have been ideal if I could move my test date to December but my baby is due 2 days before the test date so, it is not going to work.

I decided to go ahead and take September LSAT just to experience what it feels like to take actual LSAT and how I would do on actual test compare to my practice tests.

I am listening to "the Law school admission game" audio book, and the author says not to take the test unless I feel ready.

She says most likely the scores won't be averaged out (I also looked up schools I am interested in and they said they won't be averaging scores out).

What could be a reason for her to say not to take the test then?

She doesn't really says why in the book. She is just strongly against it.

She says to withdraw from the test 24 hours before the test if I do not feel ready.

Any ideas as to why?

In the section "Resources for Taking Simulated LSATs" - there is advice on "How to Keep Time"

My question is this: why can't I simply reset the minute hand back to 12 on my analog watch at the beginning of each test section ?

There is no mention of the prohibition of resetting your analog watch here : http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/day-of-test

It only stipulates...

"Time. Supervisors will keep the official time. You may take an analog (nondigital) wristwatch to the test center. No other timers—including electronic and countdown timers—are allowed."

Rather than wearing three cheap-o Casio watches the day of the exam - is it permissible by the Test Gods to reset my watch after each section ? Or will I find myself tossed out of the testing center like an obnoxious drunk gets thown out of a bar ???

I'm so nervous, I suffer from a wandering mind, and I got a 150 on my last prep test, I mistakenly bought a book with the most recent test in it from 2000. I've been studying since April and I just need more time. My only question is, if I take it twice, will schools average my score, or will they take the higher score? Is anyone else considering December already? I'm not being pessimistic, I'm just trying to be realisitic.

Hi,

I am interested to find out if there is a way I can search for questions inside the 7sage database by difficulty level. When you look at the video explanations, you notice the round bubbles that indicate difficulty. Is there a way to filter the questions based on that?

Thank you for your response.

I keep second guessing on my right answers, and any answer I erase is usually correct, 8/10 times. It's making me score in the lower 160's and it's bothering me. Any suggestions?

Also, does anyone have any tricks or tips they have for reading comprehension questions, that seem like trick questions, and logical reasoning questions? I'm improving on understanding why I am getting like 6 wrong on the logical reasoning but for some reason I can't help it. I definitely need advice!!

Only 3 days left!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

When you're reviewing a test do you see questions where you picked one answer instead of the other and had it down to the last two answers? I hate that! I swear I always pick the wrong one and it usually happens 2-3 times per section if not more. Any advice? Am I not paying enough attention to little specific details?

Thank you!

The "Sections" tab no longer shows graphs, percentages, or section difficulties. It shows up as "no data". Anyone else having the same problem?

Hi fellow anxious soon to be test takers! Wondering if anyone has any ideas or tips for what they will do the night before and morning of the test. For many, it has probably been a while since they've taken a standardized test.

For instance:

What will you eat the night before?

Morning of?

Good Snacks to take with you?

What will you wear?

How early do you plan to arrive?

Ideas for if you are having trouble sleeping the night before?

Secret incantations to perform to get a 175+ ?

Tricks to avoid the jitters day of?

First thing you plan to do after the LSAT?

Again, good luck!

I apologise if this is asked often. I decided I wanted to do law school and bought a giant Princeton Review LSAT book. I wanted to know where I was at, so I took two practice tests from the back of the book. I scored 162 & 164 but couldn't even start the last logic game on either so I missed 1/4 of that section both times. Timing is killing me on logic games. My question is can I realistically expect to crack 170 or am I going to struggle because I'm not processing logic fast enough? I mean it's not knowledge at all, so can I learn to think better?

HI All. I'm interested in how others are using prep tests as they make their way through the (awesome) 7Sage curriculum. Are you taking tests sporadically? Once a week? Saving tests until the end? What have you noticed has been most helpful?

I'm curious if you guys think it would be a good idea to re take PT 70 or 71 before the September lsat? I've already taken them before when I was studying for June but I want to know if it would be beneficial to go through some of the most recent material even though I've already taken that PT a few months back. Is it worth it as a finial times PT or some drilling before Saturday or should I just avoid them since I've already previously taken those tests?

Thanks!

Hey guys, I've been hearing from various sources that pattern games have been popping up on the recent LSATs. However, I'm not sure what exactly a pattern game is. Could anybody refer me to some examples of pattern games? Tried googling already, but didn't find much :/ LSAT blog's classification page says PT 20 Game 3, and PT 23 Game 4 are pattern games. Just wanted to confirm and maybe find some other examples.

Also side note, I noticed that every PT question explanation vid has tagged keywords. Is there a search function on the site that lets you search for questions based on keywords?? That would be really helpful!

Thanks!

[Mod note: edited original title that read "Recent LG: Pattern Games?"]

I previously dismissed the idea of chaining that JY advocates in the In/Out course videos, but I'm beginning to think it may be more effective.

Thoughts?

I'm wondering if Mr. Ping has any good pointers on how to ration the space on the page, especially when dealing with questions that may require copying down the game board several times to test the options. Usually I'd just write down the game board once and then write lightly enough when filling it out with the different sets of elements, so that the markings can be erased easily with one single stroke of the eraser before I need to fill in the other set.

... You're stressed. I know it, you know it, we ALL know it. But that's okay, because you're going to do great!!

Take a few minutes to breathe, relax, have a cup of coffee.. (Or a soda/water, if you don't drink that stuff.)

Sit back, relax! ..and enjoy some cute/funny cats.

Sufficient Assumption questions are the only type of logical reasoning questions that still give me trouble after constant studying. I can't seem to comprehend the concept enough to depict the correct answer. Please give me helpful tips or a way to better understand them. The LSAT is this upcoming weekend and I'm a little upset that I've still not grasped the full concept.

Guys! How can I best drill to increase my sections in these last days? I unfortunately signed up already and am thinking of taking the LSAT for the experience even if I cancel my score. Any tips?

Also do you guys think it's a good idea or does a cancelled score just look real bad?

Help!

Any tips/guidelines on what to write on your review sheet?

Hi All

I'm wondering if it's best to start with later answer choices on some of the harder LG questions (rule suspension, 5 IF). Obviously these are time sinks intended by the test makers - especially because if you don't notice any special restrictions you need to try all choices... so it seems like they purposely make the answer choice later ones (E,D..) So is it in our interest to start with later answer choices if we need to test through them?

Hi, just joined 7Sage and had a quick question that I thought I would try to clear up before the LSAT on Saturday! (:/ pretty nervous).

I've been studying on my own for a while and have made pretty good progress in terms of where I am now and where I started. Everything that I've read, whether here, a Kaplan source, or other test prep materials suggest that you find the conclusion first for the LR questions. Now I've digested this and if you hand me a question I can point out the conclusion and premise(s) without any problem usually. What I'm curious about is, for those that are scoring really well on the LR sections (like let's say no more that -3/4 per section) or finish them with a lot of spare time, or both if you're an LR beast, do you actually go into the question, having read the question stem, and just first look for the conclusion and circle, underline, mental note whatever, and THEN read the rest?

What I've been doing, and I've improved but I still cut it really close to time in the LR sections (and I think this is partly because of getting stuck on long time sucking questions or when I have those epic mind civil wars over two remaining answer choices), is I just read the whole stimulus and just make a note of what is background/premise and what is conclusion. I don't actively SEARCH for a conclusion indicating word, read the conclusion and then read the rest. Just read it all the way through once, and maybe sometimes I have to go back and reread a line or two once I've identified the conclusion/premise.

I know it's probably not the wisest thing to try to switch this up before Saturday. But I've been wondering if the hard practicing suggested in the beginning of learning how to tackle LR questions with drills on Conclusion and Premise identification is just for you to understand the difference in the beginning or if actually helps with speed/accuracy if you just kind of chop up the stimulus like that.

Anyways, any thoughts/advice would be great. It would be nice to reduce my missed questions in LR for Saturday, even missing 3-4 less than I am right now could realistically put me in the low 170s which would be lovely. In addition to practicing for the last days of keeping mindful of timing, not getting stuck and, for the most part, going with intuition for those answer choices you bounce back and forth between, anything to help me anchor down these sections a bit more would be amazing.

Cheers to everyone taking the test on Saturday!

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in an earlier thread, so I apologize if I am repeating it.

Jon, would it be possible for you to use a better mic when recording future explanation videos? Maybe my speakers are just bad, because there's some feedback that makes it difficult and unpleasant to hear what you're saying. I raise the volume in an attempt to hear it better, but the feedback just gets louder and more unpleasant to listen to. Otherwise, your explanations are great. Thanks!

If you happen to be in the CLE area and would be willing to partner with me to study and help up both our scores (I currently score around 155, plus or minus 5 points), I would be absolutely thrilled. There are about 11 weeks left and I really want to buckle down.
