Proctors: Proctors were overall very nice. In fact I remember that on my test day there was construction happening across the street. Honestly I didn't really hear it but the proctors told us before the test specifically that they were aware of it and had even sent students across the street to ask if they could delay their work until after the test or at least keep the volume to a minimum. I thought this was incredibly nice of them and showed that they really did care about creating a quiet testing environment

Facilities: Restrooms were pretty small I remember. There's a few of them scattered throughout the various levels of the building but each has only maybe one or two stalls inside so if you have to use the restroom before the test or during a break it might take a bit as I recall there being a bit of a line. Other than that the building was nice and cool (some people needed jackets, I was fine and preferred the a/c and cool classrooms) and the classrooms were really nice as well

What kind of room: Size of a 20-25 person classroom. Mine was on the third floor in a very quiet building

How many in the room: About 10-15 students per room

Desks: Huge desks! A full table for each person!

Left-handed accommodation: N/A, you get a huge desk

Noise levels: Very quiet throughout. The building is nice and quiet and nobody seemed to be around for miles on campus on the day of the test

Parking: Parking was pretty easy, much if it is nearby the building itself. Signage was put up so not hard to find. There didn't seem to be very much parking as I recall as far as number of spaces but I got there early so it wasn't an issue.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Arrived at around 7:45am and we went into the room by about 8:15-8:30 if I recall correctly and I want to say that the test started around 9am. Really rough times since this was so long ago now but I remember waiting in the building for probably at least 30 minutes before getting into the room

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: Pretty good location to take a test. I'm from a much larger university within an hour of redlands and didn't want to take it at my school because I've been in the ridiculously large lecture halls with their small desks and knew that wasn't going to be fun. Super glad I went to Redlands

Would you take the test here again? Definitely. From the quiet rooms and campus, the super nice proctors, and the huge desks honestly I doubt you could ask for a more perfect testing center

I'm looking for a study buddy or two in the Sacramento area. We can meet for coffee and discuss strategies :)

Passing down all of my LSAT books, including The LSAT Trainer, The Loophole, Powerscore LSAT Bibles, and the 5lb Manhattan Prep book, other LSAT Manhattan Prep books (Reading Comprehension & Logical Reasoning). Prefer pickup in New York—please message me for more details.

Hi! I'm in Stamford, CT, about 40 min from NYC and wanted to see if there was anyone in the area that is also studying for the June 2025 LSAT! Let me know - thank you!!

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-70-section-1-question-17/

can anyone explain why JY labels the first sentence in question 21 [the first link] a phenomenon and not a conclusion, but the first sentence in 17 [the second link] the overall conclusion. what's the functional difference in those sentences?

Hello, 7Sage team & fellow 7Sagers.

I have been utilizing the RC passage explanations and have been wondering what I am supposed to get out of them. It seems the level of detail you all go into is well beyond the level of detail we should be absorbing during our read through under time pressure.

In the lessons, we were given a somewhat different sort of break down where low res. summaries and predictions of the following paragraph content were discussed. I found this very helpful as a check on how I broke down the passage and utilized this analysis to answer the questions.

I realize that there is a passage summary underneath the video explanation, but again I am just confused on how these video explanations aid in our RC abilities.

I apologize if their usefulness is obvious to everyone else. I just felt the need to express my thoughts in a manner in which I could receive some feedback.

Thank you.

Do we blind review every section? So basically review all of our circled questions, maybe even re-read the reading comp passages at a slower pace to confirm answer choices etc.? We basically can review the whole test at a slow untimed pace? THEN check our answers?

Also for full length PT's do you blind review the same day you took it or the day after? What do you think is more useful? Obviously when I am doing section drilling I will BR immediately after.

Any advice would be awesome! Thanks!!!!!

Hello friends!

I am currently applying to a law school in little rock and there is a section that is required, titled, "Statement of Uniqueness." This section says to explain any distinct experiences that I have encountered in my life and how I have grown from those specific aspects. I am a little confused because this section also has an area where you can say, "this section does not apply to me." What should I do? I don't necessarily have some super distinct experiences in my life, so is this necessary?

All help is much appreciated.

Hey all,

I am getting ready for the December test. This will be my second time testing. I am aiming for a score in the 170s and am currently averaging the upper 160s. I feel like I can get to the next level but feel a little lost as to how to get there. As of right now, I do prep tests and review questions that I mark for BR or that I got wrong and then do them again. I feel like this is a "20% of the work gets you 80% of the way" situation.

Does anyone else who is shooting for or has achieved this kind of increase have advice for how they went about doing it? I work well with laid out plans and I feel like there is potential for me to improve to the level I want if I have the right studying methodology.

Thanks so much

I picked E for this one, when the correct choice was C.

I realize that C is the VERY opposite and E is just less relevant (though still logically opposite) to the theory. So for LEAST questions, should we be looking for the VERY opposite? Or the WEAKEST?

Hi, I am a first year BBA student at Wilfrid Laurier University. Is there anyone who is willing to study with me? If you go to Laurier or are around the area, if would be really cool if we could study in-person. Otherwise, I am just looking for anybody who feels that they could use a partner. Thanks!

Proctors: Proctors were fine. A little distracting (looking at phones during test) but mostly quiet enough. Enforced rules pretty well. 5/10

Facilities: You know. It's a college campus. Pretty normal.

What kind of room: Large lecture hall.

How many in the room: 80-100? Maybe more?

Desks: I received 2 tiny desks. Not enough room for book and answer sheet, much less the rest of my stuff. Ended up with a hacked-together system of book on one desk, answer sheet tucked underneath it, and my extra supplies on the seat of the desk next to me.

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Loud. Ventilation going, shocked at how noisy my neighbors were. I think it may have been the acoustics of the rum. Just couldn't really concentrate.

Parking: N/A

Time elapsed from arrival to test: A while. Mostly because the other students in the test center took freaking forever to fill out the pre-test stuff.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Other comments: The whole thing felt like a circus. I don't think the proctors really had a grasp on anything at all.

Would you take the test here again? Under no circumstances. I did take the test 2 more times and instead of taking it at Georgetown I traveled 300 miles to take it at the awesome test center near my parents.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Feb 2015

Proctors: One proctor in the room, her accent was quite strong but she spoke very slowly so I was still able to understand her.

Facilities: The LSAT was on one floor of the building, very easy to find with multiple testing rooms.

What kind of room: The room was small but everyone had an entire desk to themselves and there were plenty of windows, so the lighting was perfect. Also had a beautiful view of the North Shore mountains and the Lion's Gate bridge so that wasn't too bad either ;)

How many in the room: I think there were about 8 people writing the exam in one room, which was great because it didn't feel crowded at all.

Desks: Desks were huge! And there was only one person per desk, so tons of room!

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Perfect. I was worried that with the test centre being downtown there would be a lot of traffic/construction noise but it was silent.

Parking: I got a ride down, but I imagine you'd be paying an arm and a leg if you decide to park. It is downtown Vancouver after all :/

Time elapsed from arrival to test: ~30 mins

Irregularities or mishaps: N/A

Other comments: I'd highly recommend this location over BCIT or UBC if you live in the Lower Mainland. Very few people chose this location in comparison.

Would you take the test here again?: I will never take the LSAT again for as long as I live. But if someone put a gun to my head, then yes, I'd chose this location again :D

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Saturday, October 3rd, 2015

Hi,

First time poster, long time lurker. Currently, I am making some slow progress with my PTs. My recent tests have moved from a 155, 156, and most recently a 157. Slow and steady? maybe? A major trend that I am experiencing with all my PTs is that I run out of time on each section and end up guessing 15-20 questions per test (e.g., 1 passage in RC, 1 game in LG, and usually the last 5 questions of each LR section). My blind reviews range from the 169-175- if that matters? Thus, my question is to ask the advice of the 7sage community- how can I improve my speed so I can actually answer those questions that Im guessing? Any help would be greatly appreciated and any similar stories of success with this lagging brain problem would be greatly motivating. Help me 7sage, you're my only hope.

JARU

I'm chugging through the lesson plans, and I've completed about 45%. I'm writing in December, and I've almost completed the Reading Comprehension lessons.

At this point, when I get ready in the morning, I read through all of the PDF notes given to us. I do the lesson plans in the morning before work for an hour, at lunch on my lunch break, and from 1-3 hours after work.

Does anyone do anything additional to reading the notes? I know he suggested reading The Economist, but does anyone do anything extra? I did do the Kaplan Method previous to this, so I have exhausted a few LSATs, and I don't want to just keep practicing on LSATs in case I run out before I begin the actual practice portion of this LSAT help.

What are you doing?!?!

Thanks :)

Superprep! Get your formerly non-disclosed test on! Answer that age old question: Is it really the “Champion of LSAT preparation”?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a tutor in the NYC area, preferably a tutor that can meet in person. I need help particularly with logic games and I also need some help with the logical reasoning.

Do you have to contact your verifiers and let them know you will be using them? (former employers)

This is no joke.

Any suggestions or tips on maintaining the energy level during test (outside of doing more full test)? I find the first section I am great then something breaks midway through the second section. Thanks in advance.

Choosing a law school is one of the hardest parts of the admissions process, not because you do not have options, but because you finally do. In this episode, @JacobBaska breaks down what it actually means to deposit, how that differs from enrolling, when it makes sense to ask for a deposit deadline extension, and how to think through waitlists, pending decisions, scholarship timing, and even the possibility of retesting or reapplying.

Jake also walks through the bigger-picture questions that should shape your final choice: rank, cost, scholarship money, job outcomes, geography, student culture, and whether a school genuinely feels like the right fit for your next three years and beyond. If you are staring at multiple offers, waiting on one last decision, or wondering whether it is okay to double deposit, this episode gives you a practical framework for making the call with confidence.

I am planning to take the LSAT in Feb and need to lock in. I have not taken many PTs, and have mostly focused on foundational knowledge and drills. I've discovered that I score well if given adequate time (~167) but score significantly lower under time constraints (~155). I need help with being time efficient while maintaining accuracy and, of course, improving my overall score. I will try to make myself available whenever! LMK!
