Proctors: 2 proctors. Very good, only one minor complaint. See noise levels.

Facilities: Community college campus in suburbs

What kind of room: Classroom

How many in the room: 15

Desks: Not great -- the kind where the seats are connected to the desk. Not wobbly, decent desk size. Had to put the answer sheet behind the packet.

Left-handed accommodation: None.

Noise levels: Very low. The proctors whispered to each other at the very end of the test, which was annoying -- but I was the closest student to them. I doubt that anybody else in the classroom heard. Otherwise, they were very great.

Parking: Plenty of dedicated parking on campus, only a few minutes walking from the building where the test was given.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 5 hours. I was towards the end of the line to be placed into a classroom, there were others that finished over an hour before our classroom did. I was starving by the end of it.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Other comments: None.

Would you take the test here again? Yes.

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

I am getting ready to take the LSAT for the second time and most of my PT's have been the 40's-50's because I used the most recent ones up during my first go around of studying. Would it be beneficial to retake one of the most recent prep tests again to try and get familiar with the new trends before test day? It's been about 3-4 months since I last took them. I am just not sure if it would be beneficial to go through material and PT a test again that I had already done a few months back. Thanks for the help!

!!LONG POST INCOMING!! But I'm pretty lost right now.

I've hit a plateau in my studying where I always get at around 5-6 questions wrong per section because and it's usually just the hardest questions give or take maybe 2 misreads for simpler ones. I know exactly how to each question should be done and answered and I think my biggest issue is that for those hard questions I simply just don't really understand the stimulus and even if I do, the right answer choice sometimes escapes me due to a technicality in wording.

I do run into a bit of an issue with certain question types for sure like weaken or MBT questions. The issue here is that even if I know how to do them and I can get the question right it just simply takes me to long to deduce the right answer. I've been basically trying to drill these question types more often using the filter and also doing more timed practices.

At the same time, I think I also struggle just simply completing the logical reasoning section. I'll range anywhere from 1-5 questions that I simply run out of time for. I try my best to be quick but even at my best I'm left with 2 questions undone. I've seen that some people have time left over to go over previous questions, a speed that seems completely unreachable to me at the moment.

So I guess there are three issues I'm running into and three questions I'm hoping some of you can give me advice on:

I've heard a lot of "just do more questions" and I definitely am but I was wondering if anyone was doing anything specific in terms of drilling or even stuff outside of the LSAT (reading more books/news articles) that you find has helped with your score.

I'm sure I'm not alone in using 7Sage's LSAT Analysis tools AFTER taking and grading my own PTs.

For those of us who do, as we improve, it starts to become more of a hassle for us to enter all our correct answers in the PT Grader.

Why not offer an option to only enter the answers you got wrong? It would save anyone averaging 160+ a significant amount of time.

I saw only one review. And it mentioned long tables, however, in Angell Hall there are only the little pop-up tables. How will this work for the digital LSAT?

When I studied for my nursing boards I would use NCLEX books as I went along and go over my week points. I never did a full test until I went to Kaplan. Should I take the same approach with the LSAT since I am not taking them until June 2018. I bought the Kaplan book and have a few others hoping if I learn the concepts then I can start taking the practice tests later on.

Hey Feb Peeps! We got work to do!

Fine Print (NOTE: you all want to be lawyers; reading fine print is what lawyers do, so READ IT!)

BR GROUP NOTES:

Proctors: Two at the front of the room.

Facilities: In the basement of the University Community Center. There's around 5-6 rooms in total, all full.

How many in the room: around 20

Desks: around 15

Left-handed accommodation: not sure

Noise levels: Low in the room. But also depends on the people taking the test with you.

Parking: Paid parking available in the back of the community center.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 30 min. Test administered on time.

Irregularities or mishaps: None, except for proctor whispering to coordinate test procedure. Also, proctor was unfamiliar with procedure (she thought we couldn't go back to a prior page in the same section) so future test takers, please be familiar with the procedure.

Other comments: Lots of people (70+), so can be crowded during registration. If you're a student from uwo, very likely to bump into people you know, if you care about that.

Would you take the test here again? Yes.

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

Could someone explain why the correct answer choice is E ? Also is there a way for me to look up an explanation for this specific question on 7sage? I just started the free trial so I am still getting used to the site?

Admin note: edited title

does anyone know when this PT will be published?

Third call info:

Take PT 50 and BR on your own before the call.

Submit 2-5 questions you want to review here: https://goo.gl/forms/MEUpRULFRSrHe1Ba2

Note: We will try to limit the calls to under 2 hours. We will review LR questions first and only review RC if we have time.

We will not be reviewing LG.

This step is important: Come prepared to speak through how you approached the question you submitted. If more than one of us had trouble on the same question, we can each have an opportunity to speak through our thought process/which choices we were stuck between. The rest of the group then discusses.

Anyone going to the Temple information session tomorrow morning? Curious if any other 7Sagers will be there.

New York 7Sagers!

A group of NY based 7sagers have arranged to take practice tests on Saturday mornings from now until the December test. I've been planning on doing those tests, but they are in midtown and would require me to get a much earlier start than I'll actually need on test day. I figured we may have enough Brooklyn 7sagers to organize BK practice tests for Saturdays. Anyone interested in joining me for a group practice test on an upcoming Saturday? I've been taking my practice tests in the quiet study area of the Grand Army Plaza Brooklyn Public Library but am willing to relocate!

Proctors: Pretty good overall. Stuck to time, no errors with the alarm (had my own watch so it wasn't really an issue). Friendly and gave clear instructions. Had spare pencils as well.

Facilities: OK. Pretty old building and the layout is somewhat confusing. Could only find one bathroom (can fit maybe 7 people at the same time).

What kind of room: auditorium with those swivel desks.

How many in the room: 25ish or so.

Desks: swivel type, not that much space. leave the booklet on your lap.

Left-handed accommodation: didn't notice any.

Noise levels: none, dead quiet.

Parking: Unknown. Looks like there were some street level parking. I took public transit.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 15 minutes. Proctor wanted to wait a bit for people to show up, we had about 1/3 absentee.

Irregularities or mishaps: none

Other comments: This place ran slightly cold. This was summer so AC was probably on full-blast. Pack a light sweater if testing in June.

Would you take the test here again? Yes because its easy to get to.

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

Today only, my blind review keeps telling me that I got 0% even when I get the answer correct. Additionally, this isn't an issue with time. On a few I've been over time, however, most I have been under time and it continues to happen. What is going on

Proctors: 6 to 7 Proctors all around the room

Facilities: Osgoode Law School

What kind of room: Mock Trial Room

How many in the room: approximately 100

Desks: Long forum desks with room for one person in between every test taker

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Low (However, there was a ventilator running due to lack of windows to circulate air in the room which can be distracting to the ones close to it)

Parking: Available close by the building, $6-7 dollar flat rate on weekends

Time elapsed from arrival to test: approximately 25 to 30 mins. Smooth transition.

Irregularities or mishaps: A student didn't receive a writing section paper by the time we got to it and had to wait for the student to be accommodated. Many students felt that Section 3 was cut short so they allowed 2 minutes extra.

Other comments: Compared to a previous facility (Madonna Catholic Secondary School), much efficient administering of the test overall.

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: February 2016

Hey guys! Can someone please help me with understanding exactly how to do BR for reading comp? It's seems much more intuitive to me how do to BR for LR and LG but not so much for RC. Thanks for your help:)

Double post, ignore.

Proctors: Both were very professional. In my room which held about 30-40 students, there were two proctors.

Facilities: It was held in SU Sullivan Hall, their law school. Very nice and new building. Bathrooms throughout and close to classrooms.

What kind of room: Large classrooms, set up stadium style, with desks quite like tables, rolling chairs.

How many in the room: 30-40 students per classroom

Desks: Large table-like desks. Stadium seating. Seated every other chair, so there was an entire table for one tester, and space to spread out booklets, etc.

Left-handed accommodation: I am not a leftie, but with the seating arrangement, I am sure it would've been no problem.

Noise levels: SCARY SILENT.

Parking: Easy on a Saturday to find paid garage parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 1 hour, 15 minutes. 30 minutes to check in, standing in line, 45 waiting in the room to start testing after listening to instructions, had 3 late admitted arrivals.

Irregularities or mishaps: None.

Other comments: Great experience.

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: 12/5/15

Proctors: professional, efficient, courteous

What kind of room: small lecture hall. no windows. tiered seating. good temperature ~72

How many in the room: probably over 100 available seats but around 30 of us were spaced nicely throughout the room

Desks: frustratingly small flip desks. had trouble keeping all belongings (watch, pencils, etc) on the table comfortably. half the test booklet was hanging off the desk the entire time....pencils kept falling off... extremely distracting and annoying.

Left-handed accommodation: yes

Noise levels: very quiet

Parking: free across the street from the business building

Time elapsed from arrival to test: prompt, no irregularities

Would you take the test here again? i would not take it again at melcher hall because the desks were a deal breaker. however, if it weren't for that i definitely would recommend taking it at UH because the rest of the experience (proctors, noise, parking, bathrooms) were all exceptional.

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

I've loved this course so far! However, one thing I struggle with more than anything is diagramming the Logic Games. For me, this is the hardest part of the section and I have lesser confidence in this section than all the others. Time and space for drawing is a constriction that further messes with my confidence, although I do diagram each clue out. My biggest program after is combining the clues. Can you offer any tips or suggestions?

Can anyone take a look at my diversity statement for critique and edit?

If you want, I can do the same in return.

Hi there, I know you all rank how hard questions or passages are on a five-point scale. I figured you do it based on what percentage of people got a certain question wrong.

I just finished a preptest (66) and I'm particularly interested now. You ranked game 1 four out of five in difficulty, but said it should take five minutes to complete. Game 2 got 10 minutes target time, but was ranked three out of four in difficulty.

Those are just examples. I'm not looking for specific feedback about preptest 66. I was just curious how you decide how hard questions are, or how long we should spend on them.

Thanks!

The proctor was really good, spoke slowly, and made sure everyone was ready. She didn't rush the test, but gave us a second before starting the timer again before the start of each new section. From time of arrival to test, it took about half an hour to have everything in working order. Everything was in good order, the the room had good lighting and space. The only problem I had was that the clock was too far away for me to be able to tell the time, which was a bit of a disadvantage for me especially since I didn't have an analog watch. There were around 40 people taking the test in that room, and more desks which were relatively comfortable. There weren't any left handed accommodations, they were standard wooden desks separated from each other. Noise level was perfect, nothing disturbing. The college is really really big so hard to find your way around, especially when I went in September 2014, when there was almost no one to ask for directions. There was plenty of parking space. It was a little far for me to get there from Milton, but if it were close by I could definitely test there again in the same environment.

I'm planning to take Dec exam so if anyone wants to do full practice tests (in the 70s) together, please msg me.
