Hey everyone, I was wondering how often the LSAT does weird misc games, like the subway line one on prep test 18. I'm trying to budget the remaining time I have before the August LSAT and I want to know how much priority I should give them. Are they common on the newer LSATS?

Thanks!

I've now scored 168 three times with a 166 sandwiched in between. PTs have been consistently above 170 of late but clearly it hasn't happened on the real thing. Already registered for one last rip in August. Anybody else managed to pull this ignominious feat? I need to commiserate.

Hi everyone, thanks for clicking in this post.

I will take the LSAT in Jan (and it will be my first and only LSAT score) but some schools' application deadline is Feb 1st. I'm a little bit worried if I should force myself to have a try on Nov LSAT (I have already registered it but feel not very confident, consider to cancel it)

I wondered will I be able to submit the application without LSAT score?

Thanks.

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!

Has anyone seen similar paper--hue--graphite was described, thinness--heard it was sort of like newsprint, and watermark--available for purchase to practice on?

So #10 on the USC Gould app says to explain the variance in multiple LSAT scores or whether or not you feel your scores shack up to your full potential. I am thinking about discussing how my test day anxiety led me to underperform on test day. And how I went to see a psychiatrist for this anxiety so I could take care of it for test day -- but obviously it wasn't to much avail if I scored a few points below my full potential on the real thing. Note: I don't get testing accommodations and never have. But I've had problems with anxiety since I was a kid.

Basically, my question is, do ya'll think it's taboo to write about my anxiety and the medical help I sought during the time I was studying/taking the LSAT (hopefully it shows my effort to remedy what was causing me to underperform)?

Study buddy?

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 :)

Hi,

I'm really struggling with author's inference questions in RC. Does anyone remember if a specific lesson covered this? Or if anyone has a helpful approach, I would be so grateful :)

Hi guys! I made a study guide for LR with all my notes as I did the core curriculum on 7sage! I was wondering if there was a way to upload the document so others could use it? Is there a PDF upload feature I can't find? Thanks!

I struggle with performance when taking timed PTs. Untimed, I rarely miss any questions. However, under the pressure of time, I'm only getting halfway through each section, likely due to nerves impacting my confidence and my process (taking way too long reading/eliminating etc.).

My question is, in order to get the best use of analytics, should I be cutting myself off when the time ends (despite having so much of the section undone)? Or should I just finish it at my own pace and take that as my score?

A side note: I use benchmarks to track my time and I know logically that I have to move fast and skip hard questions. I've also completed every page of the LSAT Trainer, so I feel reasonably prepared for testing. Still, I get so anxious that I can't really "sense" the hard questions from the easy ones and I either: (1) Skip so many that I feel freaked out by the amount I'm not doing which kills my performance or (2) to avoid the previous scenario, I just don't skip any.

I'm wondering if cutting myself off when time is up, although it sucks and it is super stressful, might help me overall improve my instincts for questions to skip and improve my ability to manage my pace overall. Does anyone know if this is the best approach to fixing it? Any other ideas are also GREATLY appreciated.

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.

any suggestions appreciated!

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?

Hi guys,

just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me (waiting for the Feb 2021 results) even though scores should have been released on March 10th.

I had to redo my writing portion due to a "security issue" which was submitted on March 9th. As of now, it says result pending.

Hello! I been studying for LSAT for a month and a half and I have just finished PT 1-20. My scores are about 170. I’ve heard that PT 50 + are considerably harder, and PT 80+ are even more challenging. I wish to ask how your scores in PT 1-20 compare to those in 50+ and 80+, and compare to your real test score. I’m planning on taking the test in Jan. and want to get an idea of where I’m at. Thank you!

So the Foundation course in core curriculum is "Let's Dive In", "Arguments" and "Grammar" etc.

They contained number of hours required and finished.

After finishing them the hours disappear. I wanted to look at the predicted hours by 7sage and compare it with my own progress to gauge a better understanding of how long it would take to complete a section. Appreciate any help.

Would be great if we could add this to our analytics without needing to take the whole test.

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 0Ls, 1Ls, 2Ls, 3Ls, and Law School Grads:

After about a month or two of digesting the January LSAT and getting accepted into my top choice for September, 2021. The thought of law school and becoming a lawyer is daunting and worrisome. After some thought and reading posts like: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/23446/a-discussion-to-begin-a-debate-my-position-on-0l-prep, I am definitely going to prepare for 1L.

Here are some questions I hope you can help me with:

Is it beneficial to continue studying using LSAT prep materials like 7Sage?

What are Canadian equivalents to Hornbooks and Examples and Explanations?

Any other general tips, guides, studying that one should do before law school?

Please do not say something like "relax and enjoy the summer", as I am dead set on studying for 1L. Just asking for people's opinion on what the best plan of attack for 1L is.

So, like many of my fellow 7Sage friends out there I took the September 2018 test and probably went -2 or -3 lower than my average PT score. I already decided to retake weather or not by some chance my actual LSAT score is around my average or even possibly above (by some miraculous act of god). Being entirely open, I suck at RC and my LR is below average. My LG is solid and I feel most confident in this section. My "general" plan is to take about two solid weeks to only do RC. I want to try to do 50-60 RC passages a week during this time and review each thoroughly. After I plan to drill LR for another two weeks and do some RC during this time frame also. I will be around three to four weeks out from test day at this point and plan to PT a few exams and do thorough review generally. I have taken roughly 28-30 PT's already at this point and know how to "flow" through a test and how to handle all the different "situations" that the LSAT can throw; I really am just trying to gather a deeper comprehension at this point. I'm really just trying to see if anyone has any opinions they could throw my way ! Thank you, and good luck to all :)

For those of you who participated in the LSAC October forum, did you have your 'why school X' essays with you when you communicated with the schools? (I'm planning on having my PS and notes about what has drawn me to each of the schools versus a drawn-out 'why X' essay. Especially in the event that I decide not to apply to a school!! (Or DO decide to apply to a school) Was it more us talking to them v. them questioning US about what interests us about their program(s)? I'm hoping this forum will allow me to better fine-tune my 'why them' essay with specifics compared to info from their websites. :) Thanks in advance.

I was an idiot and didn't purchase score preview initially, so now I need to go back and do it, but can't find it anywhere on the lsac website. Could someone who has already done it let me know how? I'm trying to avoid calling LSAC because I know they'll put me on hold forever. Thanks!

I uploaded the Word doc version of my résumé to an application, and it seems to have caused a formatting error. The year portion of a date that was aligned to the right has been pushed onto it's own line to the left. It doesn't show up like this when I open it in Word. In my opinion it's pretty noticeable since it causes a two things to be out of place, though I somehow missed it when I previewed the application. I'm nervous because this is a top school where I'm a borderline case, and I feel any little thing could make a difference.

Should I upload a correct PDF version to their status checker and email them about it? I'm conflicted because I don't want to appear careless by leaving it, but I don't want to draw too much attention to it or seem obsessive either. Any advice would be appreciated.
