The internal mic on my computer doesn't work. Does anyone know whether or not it'll be okay for me to use the mic on my earbuds to talk with the proctor, or do I need another kind of external mic that doesn't involve having earbuds in? Thanks!

Sitting for the October exam this weekend but will be retaking in December. Looking for a few people to study and blind review together in person or via Skype. A little about where I'm at, drilled all LR and LG from1-38. Took PT 39-45 and 55-60 averaging around 167-172.
i'm taking a new preptest on Sunday and wonder whether anyone else would be interested in getting together to take it with me. i'd prefer to emulate test conditions (e.g. starting at 8:30AM). let me know!
Anyone from Surrey BC/ Vancouver who is looking for a study buddy? Online or in person.
Hey y'all. I'm looking for a study partner for the Dec test. Based out of Orange County, CA. This is gonna be my third time taking it and I'm hoping to break the 170 mark. Love to link up with a study partner with similar goals, someone down to motivate one other the next ten weeks, and open to discussing problems any problems with the test. I'm struggling mostly with LR and RC. Feel free to shoot me an email - ahsieh24@gmail.com and we'll touch base. Happy studying!
Is anyone taking the LSAT at Convene at 32 old slip and know directions to get there?
Also does anyone know what kind of a place it is/took the LSAT there previously? I signed up to take it in Fordham and they changed my test location.
Hi all,
Do any of you have a list of all the strange games?
I am looking to have a virtual study group for at least 2 hours tomorrow. Game plan is to work on a set of questions slowly and thoroughly, and then test what we learned with a drill set. Focus will be flaw and weaken questions!
Looking for a small group of 2-3 people, 2-4pm EST.
Happy Labour Day yall.

You only have two chances to take the LSAT: June or October. What do you do if you’re not ready yet?
In this episode, we break down a real scenario from an international student who doesn’t have the flexibility of U.S. test dates. With limited LSAT administrations available, the usual advice—“wait until you’re ready”—gets a lot more complicated.
📌 We cover:
1. How to approach the LSAT when you only have two test dates
2. Whether you should take the June exam below your goal score
3. Why having a “backup test” matters even more internationally
4. What to do if you’re still in the 150s with a 165 goal
5. When it might actually make sense to take the test early
6. If you’re studying part-time, working full-time, or dealing with limited LSAT availability, this episode will help you make the call.
Hey - I'm looking for someone to review problem sets or practice exams. I'm on EST and can review on weekends or weeknights. Please let me know if anyone is interested. My email is Nocera4@tcnj.edu
What are the some online LSAT class courses that you all have taken that worked for you? I took Princeton Review before and it was okay. I'm looking to enroll in a new class coming up for better luck. Please let me know if you have any recommendations
Hi! When I do Grouping w/ Chart games, I feel like the standard grouping game board is a better fit for some games while chart is better for some others. Chart is safe for all these Chart games, but charting is slow and the chart is difficult to edit. Does anyone have a good way to judge when to use std. grouping and when to use chart for Grouping w/ Chart Games? Thank you! I really appreciate it.
There isn't a particular question type that I consistently struggle with, but I tend to miss 3ish in the last 10 on LR and I'm wondering what people's strategies are. I went -4/-3 in September and I'm realistically aiming for -2/-2 in December. Should I just focus on slowing down? Double check the answer against the prompt? I'm usually at question 15 by 15 minutes in, and question 20 by 25 minutes in.
Hello hello!
I took the February test this weekend (yay!), but I ran into some trouble trying to take the argumentative writing section. When I went to take it last week, my Google Chrome gave me a "Privacy Error". I had to call and ask them to reset the section for me! My plan is try it again tomorrow, but I wanted to ask if any other Mac-users experienced the same issue and what you did to get around it.
Thanks!
Any tips for the writing sample for people who type very slowly?

Does anyone know if i can sign up for and take the U.S. November LSAT from another country?
Hi there! I am from the Milwaukee area and plan to take the LSAT in April. I was wondering if anyone in the area wanted to meet in-person to become study buddies so we can teach and learn from each other!

What kind of room:, Small auditorium type room, 5 rows of the big arching desks you see in science rooms.

Hello friends!
I'm planning to start studying for my LSATs around mid to end of June for the October lsat. Is anyone in the area that's down to be study buddies? Message me if so and let's get the motivation rolling! :)
Good luck all, and all the best to every journey! :)
Hello 7sage warriors.
I've posted in a different discussion with regard to my recent troubles on putting the 7sage curriculum into practise however, I would like to hear some thoughts on whether or not some type of different strategy would help.
Basically, I am shooting for the Oct. LSAT date (and a 138 ->160*ish improvement) so I can hopefully enrol into 1L for next 2016. I have the rest of the summer left with no large distractions (taking 1 summer class twice a week); have put in already 1 month worth of the curriculum (33% of ult. complete) at roughly 5-8 hours a day. Long story short, I have ups and downs, correct answers and misses throughout the lessons, yet when it comes to the PS I find myself struggling to complete these and really gain any confidence in my skills and abilities.
As far as scheduling, as stated I go MON-SUN and study for as long as possible (or until I get to the point of negativity and frustration emerge) and I take a break, or take a day off, workout, etc. I have been writing detailed notes on many of the problem types, and have done most of the PS scheduled in the curriculum (the changeover kind of messed me up, but I've done most of them). I am also just starting the Logic games portion of the LSAT Trainer, and have been doing at least 1 lesson a day of that for the past 2 weeks.
Some of you have messaged me with support and advice, and I'd like to thank those who have taken the time. With that being said, I am starting to acknowledge that perhaps this will take me a little bit more time than others to fully grasp some of these strategies and problem types; should I continue on in the curriculum with these troubles in mind, finish the curriculum, and then go back for a round 2 so to speak? Should I schedule my day's in smaller blocks of studying? Have other's felt this sort of 'quick-sand' feeling, where, after a month - no concrete or tangible improvements have been acknowledged?
As I said, I've got work-ethic on my side and I'm not going to quit... but damn would I love to see some improvements or signs of skill building. Thanks,
Matthew
