Hi, I have a problem when testing my laptop by ProctorU.

It shows my camera width and height could not be found, while I allowed my camera on the website and I could see myself.

Does it happen to anyone else?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if 7sage provides question sets that are all set up the same way/have patterns that are commonly used within the LSAT?

Hello All,

I recently drilled this PT section. While I found the game to be pretty smooth, I was quite confused when I missed nearly all the questions on the first try, and 3 questions on the 2nd. I've located the issue to my interpretation of "3-hour block starting at 1pm." In JY's videos, this leads him up to 3:30 pm. But isn't that only 2 and a half hours? Although my game board is just like JY's in that we both have 5 slots, mine ends at 4pm. Because 1-4 is 3 hours? I'd appreciate further insight/ ways to avoid, or at least, finesse interpretation errors such as this one. I'm failing to see how "3 hour block starting at 1pm"could possibly go up to 3:30 no matter how its read. Thanks!

Hi, all. I am planning a study group to go over the most challenging questions listed on our Problem Journals. I am planning to schedule it for Sundays at 7PM - 8PM EST. I I want to start this Sunday, April 25, 2021. f you are interested, please direct message with your email address so I can send you a Zoom link.

I contemplated many topics but ultimately settled on Space Law as my topic.

It is my hope that whoever winds up reading my application enjoys what I wrote and appreciates that I did my best.

And no, while I was tempted, I did not make any Rick and Morty references.

Although now I wish I had.

I’m curious - for those who wrote a Yale 250 - what was your topic and did you have fun with it?

I don't even know what to do anymore! My first test (In person last year) was my best score despite me PTing around high 160s that time. I have basically just been doing practice flexes for the past 3-4 months and somehow still scored my worst on the August flex despite PTing consistently 174+ (even two 180s!) I really don't know where to go from here. I plan on taking November and know I can break 170 if not do even better. I would really appreciate some advice from some people who have been through this themselves.

Hi all,

I've been prepping on my Acer R11 Chromebook - works very well with the 7Sage site. But I know that ProctorU doesn't work with Chromebooks. I have a work Macbook, but it's not touch screen.

Any suggestions on a cheap Windows touch screen device?

Thanks,

Alex

Anyone writing in August that wants to study together??

I got Score Preview for the August LSAT and can't decide if I should cancel my score. Is it bad that law schools will see that I canceled a score? I can't seem to find many opinions on this since the score preview is new.

Hey everyone, i'm looking for possible advice on how to improve in LR

I've began 7sage early this year for a month and a half but had to stop due to an intense semester. But I've completed the whole CC for LR in June and I've scored well on the question sets for every question type (not extremely well on the hardest sets tho). However, when I drill LR sections (PTS 36-45) I do not do as well as I've expected to do. Currently I average -14 to -16 per 51 questions. Some problems I experience is 1- I don't understand the stimulus well (even after BR) and 2- I mismanage my time and get stuck on a question for wayyyy too long. Thus, shooting myself in the foot and ruining my chances of getting other questions right as I don't have enough time.

Now I realize that these problems are common and sound easy to overcome as I can skip those questions and focus on the ones that I understand well and can answer easily instead of wasting time. However, I want to improve drastically on this section because it's half the test and it paves a way to a higher score.

My current line of thinking is that I should focus on getting 22 questions correct (hopefully) and I should skip three to four, which would my decrease my wrong answers to 6-8. I know this is easier said than done but I've found BR to be helpful and can see myself achieving that in the following weeks.

Having said that I'd like to hear what y'all have done to improve your score in this section and what you think about my current line of thinking. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Also, if there are helpful discussion forums out there that you found helpful please link it.

Thank you

As the title says, how long did it take you to break the -5~-6 ceiling? And were you studying full time or part time?

Hey everyone I am scoring at 150, but I want to get a 165 does anyone have any good suggestions for improving reading comprehension I usually get 12-14 correct on these sections.

took it september 2nd, called lsac three times lady claims my prompt is there and there are no flags or violations and she contacted someone within the departments that handles it, I'm guessing IT, to see what the issue is. LSAC's email this morning said those that took it before the 10th should be able to see their scores, just sitting here waiting on LSAC. Anyone else experiencing the same or similar thing? talk about frustrating

Hi!

I've got a study buddy for the October LSAT and we're looking to have 1 or 2 more people join us who scores in the same range we do (so anywhere between 160-170). I currently score about -6 to -7 in RC, anywhere between -4 to -7 in LR, and -0 in LG. My study partner scores about -4 in RC, -1 in LR, and -0 in LG. We plan to get together on Teams about once a week to discuss RC and LR for PTs above 80. This weekend we're going over PT 81. Please msg me if interested :)

Hey guys what is the best way to Blind Review a practice exam. Please be detailed about it. I want to know how long also it take you guys on average to BR a full length practice exam ? Thank you so much in advanced

Hi, I’m taking the august lsat and I’m looking for a study partner that wants to review 2-3 times a week.

So I took the July Flex, got a 164. I only used the Khan Academy course. I signed up for October Flex, did CC, have been doing PT's (one a day), and am averaging ~172 (with a few 178s thrown in!) What would people recommend I do in the final two weeks before the test? I'm planning to use analytics to decide which LR Question Types to review, but would appreciate any other advice folks have!

While I was struggling with LR, I encountered and read Loophole by Ellen Cassidy. I am currently working on basic translation drill a training method introduced in the book; I read the LR passages and cover it up and write down or elaborate in my own words within 20 minutes for all stimuli in the section.

This, I find it very difficult since my English is secondary language, and it takes 1 hour to complete a section.

This method of training seems reasonable approach to conquer the LR in time but I wonder if this is something that can be improved.

Any advice or thoughts will be very appreciated.

Hi everyone,

As the November LSAT will be offered as a FLEX test, would it be best to continue taking four-section PrepTests, or would it be best to switch to taking the three-section Flex tests?

Alternatively, would it be beneficial to do a mix of four-section tests and three-section tests (i.e. two of each per week) as opposed to exclusively taking one or the other (or taking mostly one type but taking the other type once in a while)?

I understand that it's important to simulate actual test-day conditions as accurately as possible, which I think is the main advantage to switching to the three-section practice tests. But the advantage that I see in taking the four-section test is that it includes 2 LR sections, which means more LR practice (although I suppose that I could take the three-section test and save the second LR section for another time).

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and good luck to everyone in all of their endeavors!

my worst section is RC.. I read the power scores and they say read the entire passage and "summarize" as youre reading.. others say skim thru and highlight may terms/dates/names/etc. then look at questions and attack from the questions.. Who is very strong in RC and can give me a solid recommendation? I learn better from peers. Would love a zoom call with someone because Im at a 139 BECAUSE of LR and RC

Hi everyone,

I am wondering if anyone has a helpful review that I can use for the "some/most/all" relationships.

Good example of this would be PT 33, Sec 3, Q 8.

Hi all,

I've started to more consistently score in 170-172 range though my peak was a 174 over a month ago. Any tips on how to get into the mid-to-high 170s. For context, my undergrad GPA ain't stellar (3.66, mostly due to premed classes) and I plan on applying to Penn, UMich, UVa, Duke, and G'town. I'm taking the test in Jan.

My issue is that I don't just have one weakness. For example, in my last two PTs my score got dragged down by -4 in LG (silly mistakes I should've caught) and -7 in LR (PT 59, first LR section). There are some areas I know need work, like Parallel LR Qs and not freaking out when I hit a challenging game in LG. But sometimes things will crop up, like SA and NA questions, that I thought I had a handle on. I do think I'm getting better at RC, for a long while I'd get 3 to 4 wrong and be unable to figure out the right answer in BR, in my last 3 PTs I've managed to get the right answers in BR (-4) and then went -1 in the last 2.

I know a low 170 is a good score but I consider it the bare minimum.

I applied to multiple schools during the 2019 application cycle. I got accepted to several schools I was interested in and waitlisted at my top choice. Unfortunately the summer of 2019 my situation changed and I was unable to attend law school in the fall. My Dad had a heart attack, I had a back injury and lost feeling in one of my legs, and because of my missed work I couldn't afford to pay for a move to another state. I contacted the school where I had made my deposit and asked to defer. Unfortunately in spring of 2020 I injured my back again and a few weeks later my boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer. I'm currently not working and staying home as a caretaker during his treatment. I'm trying to use this time at home to study to retake the LSAT in hopes that a higher score will be the difference between waitlisted again vs accepted at my top choice. I'm hoping to apply for fall of 2022. I spent a lot of time on my personal statement in 2019. I wrote several different versions and felt like none of them really fit me. I finally wrote a version including my time working at a wildlife rehabilitation center and my interest in environmental law that I am really happy with. I don't know if it is appropriate to reuse my personal statement when applying to the same schools. I have time to write a new personal statement but I don't think I would be as happy with a new one. Would it be appropriate to submit an application with the same personal statement or would that look lazy to the admissions team?

Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well and staying safe.

My reading comprehension skills have significantly worsened after following the strategies outlined by both 7Sage and Powerscore. I find myself to be struggling the most with Main Point/Most Strongly Supported Questions on Reading Comprehension. If you have any suggestions for resources or strategy recommendations, please let me know. I am really struggling, so any and all help is greatly appreciated.
