Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding test dates and time. I was looking at the schedule for the June test and noticed there were 3 test dates: June 12, 13 and 15. Does anyone know why this is? And will this is be same for the other tests too?

Also, I'm planning to take the test in Ontario, Canada, but I don't know the starting time for the test. Is it usually 7AM or 9AM?

Thank you in advance!

I'm really intent on going to a law school where I live because of family factors/etc. I take the LSAT in October and expect to be at least at their 75th percentile for LSAT and far above their 75th percentile for GPA. The financial aspect is really important to me so I'm curious how I should navigate the application process. Do I apply to other schools and use their offers to negotiate? Do I apply early in the cycle or later on? What do you think is best considering I know where I want to go and just want to see what they can offer me?

TIA! :)

Is it just my laptop or LSAT Flex cannot be full-screen on test day? I mainly use Lawhub for PT which should be the exact same format. While during practice Lawhub allows the browser to be expanded to full-screen, on my August LSAT test it can't, which took me a while to readjust. On the test day, the screen would just look like a window size with black margins surrounding it. Any thoughts?

I'm taking the October Flex and will be studying full-time until then. My average is 162 and my goal score is 168 with a floor in the mid 160s. I'm starting to hit a wall around -7 RC, -5 LG, and -5 LR. If anyone else is in a similar place and would be interested in coordinating PTs so we can BR and review them together, please let me know. I'm planning to take PTs every other day until my test on October 8. I've been doing even numbered PTs and am up to PT70 so the schedule would probably consistent of even-numbered PTs from 72 to 88. Thanks!

I want to cancel my score using the Score Preview for First-Time Test Takers but does anyone know if this will also wipe my writing sample? I'm not keen on taking the writing portion again.

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if any of you would be interested in forming a small PT group for these last three to 4 days to iron out things we have concerns about regarding our Prep.

Thanks

Is E the right answer because it is the only choice that addresses jurisdictions that have mandatory headlight usage? Thanks.

I'd like to ask for some advice on how to go through problem sets in CC "wisely".

What I'm doing now is watch JY's general explanation on q.type,

do the Qs on my own and then watch JY's explanation clips checking if I got it right or wrong,

then doing Problem Sets attached to it.

Now for Problem Sets, after checking the result, I watch the explanation clip right away, read some comments and then move on.

That's when I feel stuck. I feel like this process doesn't get me anywhere to develop advanced logical thinking to solve any questions at similar level. I've read many comments trying to articulate the reasoning on their own but I feel like sometimes I just memorize JY's argument. Should I still try to explain it on my own after(or before) watching the explanation?

Would that help me acquire or broaden my reasoning?

I'm already registered for Oct flex which will be my first exam but I haven't reached the score I'm aiming on PT.

As I took some prep classes before joining 7sage and I don't have much time left before October flex,

I was going to tackle only on q.types I'm weak in, but I changed my mind and decided to finish CC as soon as possible.

I'm so depressed now that I don't see any improvements in my PT score(avg 157) and I can see why when I go through Problem Sets.

What am I doing wrong?

Should I try to explain every answer choice while doing Problem Sets or BR before watching the explanation?

Do I have enough time for that? or would that be more effective way to score any higher?

Any advice, encouragement welcomed. :(

(Btw, my goal is to get somewhere around 170 in January)

Hi all!

I've been having a bit of trouble with routine and structure in regards to a study schedule. I was wondering- how does your day to day look like when studying? Do you guys do 1 PT a week and X number of sections/ drills? What has worked for you/ what hasn't? What's reasonable to do in a day/ week, etc?

I just feel a little lost on how to study effectively (and not just study to say I did and waste materials). I need to build a structured routine so I can be self- disciplined and see results, and I know it varies for each person but I would appreciate any insight! TAA!

Hello all,

I felt pretty good about my LSAT writing. However when I got it back, I noticed two typos in the second to last paragraph (a missing "the" and a missing "an"). Is this enough of an issue that I should retake it? I definitely don't mind re-taking it, if this is something to be concerned about. I'm re-taking the LSAT anyways so I expect if I let them know, then I could apply to re-submit a writing exam.

what are good ways to drill fundamentals to really get the core ideas engrained??

Hi everyone!

I'm having a hard time with parallel method of reasoning questions. I know that I have to find the method in the stimulus and find the answer choice that uses the same method. Any tips?

Thanks in advance,

I have an absent and a 159 on file.

Took the August 2023 LSAT, just got a 157 and cancelled it.

I currently have the September LSAT scheduled, and I will be taking the October one too.

However, if I score worse than 159 in September, I would have to cancel it again. My file would look like absent-159-cancel-cancel

Should I take the September LSAT or should I reschedule it to October?

I believe I have until 31st 11:59pm ET to both reschedule to October and to register for October. Am I correct?

Thank you all so much.

I sent transcripts from all of the schools I've attended to LSAC a month ago. Since I got my masters degree from the same school I got undergrad, whenever I request transcripts both of my undergrad and masters degree transcripts are sent together in one PDF. But for some reason, while LSAC shows that they received my undergrad transcript, they didn't get my masters transcript yet. I'm wondering whether I should request another transcript to be sent to LSAC from my school.. I'd like to call LSAC but they seem to be busy and currently not confirming whether they got transcripts via phone call. Would really appreciate any advice on this. Thank you so much in advance!!

LR has been one of the hardest sections for me to get a solid understanding of. I went back through the CC and redid all the lessons on conditional logic and it helped immensely. Since then, I have been going back through the different question types in the order of the CC syllabus. I have printed out problem sets by question type from PTs1-35. I do try to add variety to my problem sets. For example, I'll do 10 strengthening, 10 MBT, 10 SA , 5 SA, and 5 MSS on one day. I have been doing all these problem sets untimed. I will spend as much time as needed to answer the question. Once I am 100% confident, I will go ahead and check the answer. If I get it wrong, I write out a detailed response on why I got it incorrect. I have found that my accuracy and speed have started to get better with 1,2, and 3 star questions. However, the 4 and 5 star questions take me a long time. I can spend upward of ten minutes on a single 4/5 star question. I have found that the language of the stimulus for a 4/5 question is incredibly convoluted. At this stage, should I drill 4/5 star questions? How do you get better with these harder questions? For those who have done untimed drills, at what point did you start to incorporate time? Finally, how would do you determine whether or not you're ready to drill full LR sections?

Thanks in advance!

Doesn't [D] just strengthen the premise that scholars are more likely to study successful businesses than unsuccessful businesses? Can someone explain to me why it's right? It doesn't seem to strengthen the support that being more likely to study successful businesses -> overestimating successes of past businesses.

I chose [E] because it seemed to directly relate to the support. Just because scholar are more likely to study successful businesses doesn't mean that they're overestimating the successes of past businesses... what if they're also including setbacks that those successful businesses had along the way? [E] seems to guard against this potential weakness by saying that historical records actually don't allow historians to infer those setbacks. Why is [E] wrong?!

Preferably in Houston or surrounding cities. Please let me know if you are interested in studying together or just bouncing off information and ideas. Also holding each other accountable is very important to me.

Hello!

Could some explain to me why C is correct and how they arrived to the answer? Would also appreciate it if you could tell me why the other answer choices, especially D (which is what I chose), are incorrect! Thank you so much.

Anyone have some tips on LR ? Would love to have a zoom call with someone who's strong on LR and maybe teach me a different approach? I read the powerbooks .. use Khan.. have Kaplan tutoring coming up.... Sometimes I learn better from peers.

Writing this for myself but hopefully someone else finds solace in this as well..

Got my results back this morning and was quite disappointed in the results. Scored a 166, which is the same score I received on the official take in May.

I’m so much better at this test than I was in May (PT average at the time was 166). I have improved, but frankly it sucks that this isn’t reflected in my official score. My PT average is exactly170 right now and I haven’t scored below a 168 in more than 5 months on a PT. My BR is consistently 176+ (and trending upwards) and if I can better my process even more, there are probably a couple of additional points I can add to my timed results.

Something happened in LR where I was just off my game and because that was the first section I could feel myself more distracted in RC. Based on the PowerScore prediction, I had the hardest compilation of sections and that might have affected my confidence too.

Either way, I’m ready for October. November too, if need be.

“So what, now what?”

Hey everybody! So I planned on taking the writing section last Saturday so I booted up the writing simulation to familiarize myself with the program. When I got to the ID verification section, I couldn't get a clear picture of my ID on my webcam after trying to do so for half an hour. Since I didn't want to risk getting my writing sample canceled on the real writing test due to my ID being blurry, I waited until today to call LSAC's technical support line.

The representative told me to get a new webcam if I wanted to take the writing section which shocked me a bit as I was hoping they would have alternatives for issues like this. I asked if I could talk to a supervisor to see if I could escalate this issue but he told me that he will forward my request and told me to wait for a call back.

Has anyone encountered a problem similar to this? Will I have to just bite the bullet and spend money on a better webcam?

Senior year of high school I took classes through a local community college for high school and college credit. Should I include this on my resume? The transcript is included in my academic summary report and it was only 18 credit hours. Also, not sure if this has an impact but after this I transferred to another community college to get my AA before transferring for my BA and I've included both of these institutions. Is a third too much? Thanks!

Hey!

My name is Austin. I am looking for anyone who's interested in establishing a support group/chat. I have taken the LSAT 3 times with my last attempt coming this weekend in August. My PT average is about 159, but I am more focused on just the mental support. It would be great to keep the group going even through application season this fall/winter. If you are interested please let me know!
