Hey there,

I'm looking for a study buddy or two. I don't plan to take the LSAT until August (If the world resumes by then). Unless I improve faster than I expect. With the COVID virus going around, I've found it harder to be motivated to study when I'm trapped in my house. That, and I learn better in groups---having the opportunity to explain my reasoning to someone else, ask questions, share tips and etc. really keeps me grounded.

I'd be happy to hop on Zoom, Duo, IG or whatever really.

We could plan to take practice tests together and BR together if you're into that.

Good luck!

Hi,

this was a weird LR question that I thought somebody might have some insight on. I used Process of Elimination to find that E was the only possible right answer, but I was not completely sure how E was the right answer when it stated that the Student's criteria was "inconsistent" with "the principle the historian advanced".

For something to be inconsistent with something else, they must contradict each other. The principle the Historian brings up is that "Alexander the Great should not be judged by appeal to current notions of justice". However, the student only stated that, in order to tell if Alexander the Great raised contemporary standards, one would need to "invoke standards other than those of his own culture". This criteria does not HAVE to contradict the principle the Historian brings up because "standards other than those of his own culture" might or might not include "current notions of justice".

Can anybody explain how E is right here?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Hello all,

I’ve noticed recently the more I practice LR questions in the morning, the better my performance is. For LG I can either do it in the morning or afternoon, and my performance doesn’t oscillate as much.

Has anyone else realized this for LR? If you haven’t, I suggest trying it because you may not be practicing at the optimum time.

Hey everyone!

LSAC has provided final instructions for the October 2023 LSAT that can help you ensure that you're ready for test day.

◉Students testing remotely:

Before your test session, make sure to log into your LSAC LawHub account with your LSAC username and password to confirm they are correct. Look for a new "LSAT" option in the left-hand menu of your account, which should indicate your eligibility for the October 2023 LSAT. If you do not see this option, contact LSAC immediately through their chat feature on the LSAT Website, email LSACinfo@LSAC.org with "OCTOBER 2023 LSAT ISSUE" in the subject line, or call 1-800-336-3982 during business hours.

IMPORTANT: If you are using macOS to take the October 2023 LSAT remotely, do not download the new macOS Sonoma 14 update. This update is not compatible with the Prometric secure browser. You are strongly advised against downloading the macOS update prior to taking your October 2023 LSAT. Read more about this, and what to do if you’ve already updated, in our recent blog post.

Make sure to download and install the ProProctor application at least 48 hours before your test. If you are using a work or school computer, ensure that you have administrator rights to download the necessary software. If not, consider using a different computer.

Check your system readiness: Before test day, be sure to follow the instructions provided in the Prometric ProProctor portal and perform an enhanced system check to ensure your computer is compatible with the ProProctor application. Additionally, you can watch this short video prepared by Prometric to familiarize yourself with what to expect on the day of the test.

On test day, ensure that you start your test session punctually, as failure to do so may lead to cancellation. To guarantee a seamless testing experience, follow the checklist provided for remote test-takers. If any issues arise during the startup process, utilize the chat feature in the ProProctor interface to seek assistance from Prometric or ask your proctor for help.

◉Students testing at a Prometric test center:

It is important to arrive at the test center 30 minutes before your scheduled test session. This will allow time for you to complete your check-in process and start your test at the time you scheduled. Failure to arrive on time may result in a test cancellation. To ensure a smooth testing experience, follow the checklist for in-person test takers and watch the video provided by Prometric for guidance on the check-in process and what to expect at the test center.

◉General preparation and reminders summary

• The Candidate Agreement prohibits discussing the test content on social media and using a cell phone during the test.

• It is recommended to familiarize oneself with the LSAT format using the free practice tests on LSAC's LawHub.

• The LSAT consists of four sections, including a 10-minute intermission between the second and third sections.

• Familiarize yourself with the rules for the intermission. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a cancellation of your test.

• In case of significant issues preventing completion or affecting performance on the test, use the online form that will be available in your LSAC account to report them.

To assist October test takers with any test-related problems, LSAC has created exclusive phone lines with the numbers 215-966-6640 and 1-855-296-7479. However, it's important to remember that these numbers will only be available and staffed during the testing days, at specific times.

• Friday, October 13 – 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. ET

•Saturday, October 14 – 12 midnight to 9 p.m. ET

• Sunday, October 15 – 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET

• Monday, October 16 – 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. E

Outside of these testing hours, please call 1-800-336-3982 if you need assistance.

LSAT Writing: All test takers must have a completed and approved LSAT Writing sample on file to receive the score on November 1 or have it released to law schools. The sample must be completed through the provided online link in their LSAC account. LSAT Writing for the October test is now open. If test takers already have an LSAT Writing sample on file from a previous test, they do not need to submit a new one.

Recently, the Priorities section of my analytics has been super bugged.

Tags are often ranked as higher priorities than they should be. Some tags in which I have 100% accuracy are ranked from "highest" to "medium" priority, and all RC tags are labled "highest priority" except one.

Here are some screenshots demonstrating the problem:

Is anyone else experiencing this bug? How can I report this to 7Sage?

On UVA's application there is a section titled Activities & Interests as I am sure many people know. I know what I want to put for my answers to each question in the section, but I'm confused as to how I should format my answer for the first box. I originally just made a bulleted list type format for all of my significant extra-curriculars, but when I reviewed my application it all just comes out as a cluttered blob of a paragraph. Does anyone have any idea how to properly format the answer in this section? Or should I just assume that UVA admissions knows that my list is going to come out as a cluttered blob?

Here's an example of my formatting vs how it comes out in the preview:

XX Student Affairs Senate, XX, XX

Elected Student Senator, Academic Affairs Committee, 5 hours/week 8/2015–12/2015

• Helped conduct student review of changes in university admission standards.

XX Model UN Team, XX, XX

Team Member, 3 hours/week 8/2015–12/2015

• Represented XX at the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago, IL.

vs

XX Student Affairs Senate, Lincoln, XX Elected Student Senator, Academic Affairs Committee, 5 hours/week

8/2015-12/2015 Worked on student legislation, allocation of budgets, and coordination of campus events. Helped conduct student review of changes in university admission standards. XX Model UN Team, XX, XX Team Member, 3 hours/week 8/2015-12/2015 Represented XX at the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago, IL.

Hi everyone :). I would really appreciate some advice on the LR section of the LSAT. I have studied the LR section of the exam through 7 sage+ LSAT trainer. I have recently done around 5 sections untimed sections from multiple tests. I have been scoring around 15-16. I would really like to increase that score. I am wiring the exam in October and I want to get around 21-22 questions right under timed conditions. I was planning to keep doing full sections after sections till my score increases, and then time myself. I am also making sure that I read the explanation for why I am getting the questions wrong. I wanted some advice. Should I continue to do individual sections ? Or should I review the LR curriculum again ?

Thank You :)

My biggest barrier is consistency. I am looking for a study buddy who also wants to be consistent so we can keep each other accountable. Are you available to study together from 5:30am to 6:15am (ET) 5-6 days a week? This is the only time of day I am in full control of and I want to go through my day knowing that even if I don't get in additional study time, I would have drilled for 45 mins.

I need help to understand when to switch & negate a valid conclusions on contrapositives. The videos from Invalid Argument Forms are confusing and are just not clicking. When I think I know how to "draw valid conclusions w/ transitions AND w/ intersection statements" I suddenly don't and don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone suggest the videos or any other methods to review to understand the material?

Ever since we got to this section, I've been confused.

I'm looking for a study buddy or buddies to review via skype. We can work out a study regimen that works for both parties. Please reach out only if you've gone through most of the curriculum and are well-versed in the 7sage concepts. Thanks!

Hi! I am deliberating upon whether I should take the September or October LSAT. I've taken the test twice. In January 2024, I took the test with a fever and scored in the high 160s. In June 2024, I took the test on three hours sleep and scored a 170. As such, I feel like I still have some room in me for improvement, especially since both scores were decently below my average PT score and under less than ideal circumstances.

That being said, I have much travel this next month which will prevent me from studying. In the beginning of August, for one week I am traveling for work then the next week I am traveling for personal reasons.

Seeing that I already have a test score I am comfortable with, should I just take the LSAT again in October so I can actually study, and then just send an application update if its an improvement, or do I rush to take it in September on the off-chance I get a great one to submit with the rest of my original application?

Are there any other considerations I am not seeing? Thank you!

Hey guys,

New to the forum here.

I’m looking to take LSAT Flex in one the US territory islands near Asia (as some test dates aren’t available in Asia)

One thing that i’m concerned about is internet connectivity..

Have any of you guys had problems with taking LSAT Flex due to poor or slow internet connection?

Should I just go for the US mainland?

Your responses will be insightful

To my understanding, the push stoke was a defect with the new garden rake. And if it is the only defect, then the evaluation between the new gardening rake and the straight rake stands cause it is base on the whatever defect the new gardening rake has and it is the push stoke.

So I took the LSAT yesterday and came out almost crying.

I have two score already 162 and 171(Jan 2019) and TWO CANCELLATIONS (Nov 2018 and June 2019)

My goal is to get into the t6 and so was aiming for a 173+ at this test. Consistenly PTed about 172-178 so thought it was worth a shot, and the games completely destroyed me. I probably guessed at least 10 questions on LG.

If I keep score, I’m predicting a score around 165 - or even lower. I hate to see a score decline :(. But if I cancel, I would have three cancellations and I feel it’ll look so bad to the admissions officers.

Should I cancel or keep score? Your advice is much appreciated!

Well i speedran through the cc and the variety in the number of questions was initially pretty difficult for me to properly adjust to, given that the methods listed in the cc are somewhat distinct from each other. I tried a section and struggled. However, now that I consciously take note of the main point, premise, and maybe some implied basis for support, the questions just seem to be going right for me. I'm still not where I want to be, but it's a start. Has anyone else been where I am? If so, has this method of just having an insane focus on the mp, premise, and support been of greater use to you than using conditional logic, especially in questions where it gets particularly tricky to use cl?
