Hi everyone! I took the January LSAT and made a 161 which is a good score but I'm aiming for a 170. I started studying again right at the end of May. I've done five full exams so far with the following scores:

PT 74- 160 (Diagnostic)

PT 81- 162 (BR 164)

PT 79- 163 (BR 164)

PT 78- 164 (BR 166)

PT 67- 164 (BR 168)

I work full-time so I study in the evenings or early in the morning. During the week I typically complete timed practice sections and review them, going back to my notes or lessons when I need to. On the weekends I take a full exam and do BR. Then, I review the exam in-depth over a few days. I've improved a lot on LG but am still not quite there on LR or RC. Lately, I've been struggling more than usual on RC for some reason (I'm not sure why).

I was wondering what advice folks have for me. I've been staying positive and I think I'm genuinely improving every week but I just need an extra push to keep bringing my score up. I'm hoping to take the exam by the end of this year. Thank you in advance for your advice! :)

Has anyone used a keyboard cover for the LSAT flex? If so have you had any problems getting it approved from the Procter? I had to buy a laptop internationally for the LSAT so I needed to get a keyboard cover to have the right language keyboard. Thanks!!

Does LSAC have a late registration fee? Is it too late to take in Feb?

Hi everyone! Just to preface this, I have posted in LawStudents.ca and have not had any responses so I am trying my luck here.

I am a Canadian applying to the University of Saskatchewan for the 2021 cycle. I currently have 2 LSAT scores on file and both exceed their median by a few points. My GPA is exactly their median.

I am writing the LSAT again in November in hopes of improving my score and having a chance at an entrance scholarship. I am also eager to apply as early in the cycle as possible. U of S opens their admissions on November 1. Would I be hurting my chances at scholarship consideration by applying on Nov 1? Would it even make sense to apply on Nov 1 when I have a pending LSAT score? I am really feeling the admissions process anxiety and there are very few resources available for us Canadians so any insight is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hey friends! I am in the process of finishing my personal statement and I would really like to get a few opinions before the final send off with my applications. Besides the people that wrote me my LOR's, does anyone know of a resource that will help you with your personal statement revisions? Also, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars so I am not sure if anyone is in the same boat but let me know if you have any suggestions!! Thanks in advance!

Is using questions from the newer PTs something students do once they’ve completed the core curriculum? I was referring to once I finish it.

Hello all,

I'm looking to form/join a study group. The idea is to form a group(s) of 3-4 to go Blind Review sections together, discuss strategy on sections, and help ourselves find flaws and better methods forward.

We'd BR together on weekends via Zoom. I'm not dead-set on taking it in November but will definitely be taking it in January.

Either comment on the post or send me a direct message and we could start this upcoming Saturday/Sunday.

This happened to me a lot so I have to ask for some advice. I start doing a PT (especially I am talking about an LG section) where I kinda freeze at a certain game which I know is something I can handle. I stop the section and restart again and the second time it goes flawlessly. How can I fix this? This especially happens during an LG. I don't look for an explanation or anything I just gather myself and it goes great afterwards.

Hey guys! Was wondering if anyone has any advice for how to approach studying for November. So I got a 168 on the August test, which I know is objectively a fantastic score, but my PT average is around 175ish (and my last few scores were 176, 180, and two 179s). I'm pretty happy with my grasp of everything so I think it's about consistency for me.

I don't feel bad about it because I really can't complain about a 95 percentile score and know I worked hard, but also I knew I would most likely have to take it again and my score expectations were pretty low. I was super anxious on the day - I slept horribly and I didn't even have time to properly finish my RC section (which was my first one), and it was super jarring because I've literally never had issues with time on a standardized test + was thrown off by the LSAT flex format, so I'm expecting to do better just without that first time test anxiety now that I'm more familiar with how it goes!

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I should think about studying these next 5-6 weeks? I'm thinking fewer practice tests (luckily I saved a bunch of tests in the 70s and 80s) and just drilling a little to stay on top of it, and putting extra effort into digesting why my wrong answers were wrong. I also have a pretty demanding full time job and was stressed about a number of things, and had been trying to squeeze LSAT studying in bits in during the day (since I'm working remotely due to COVID right now still) so I want to make sure I try to study when I'm feeling clear headed and have uninterrupted time rather than in bits and pieces while juggling work.

I also need to focus on reading comprehension but its tough to know how to get down to -0/-1 more consistently when you're already doing pretty well.

Any advice? Any inspirational stories of a huge jump from your first to second test?

good luck everyone!!!

I learn best by explaining answers because it makes me have to justify my answers. That being said, I think it would be fun to go over a set as a group. For example, maybe everyone does a certain kind of question or all the LR questions from Test 20. We could go over missed questions from that problem set and talk them out as a group.

Let me know what you think!

Okay, Im having so much trouble trying to fund out what goes into the sufficient or the necessary conditions. Specifically in group 3 and 4. I feel like I get it wrong every time. Can anyone direct me to a specific lesson in the syllabus or explain to me how to better distinguish what goes in the sufficient or the necessary.

Hello,

I just recently purchased an annual subscription from LawHub. However, I believe my LawHub account is synced to a previous 7Sage account that I had a few years ago that I am no longer using. Is there anyway for me to re-link my LawHub account to the 7sage account I am currently using? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi all,

I'm planning to take the Oct LSAT and am looking for a tutor to help me get over the plateau I seem be on in LR. I've reached out to a few people here directly but haven't heard back. Hoping that taking it to the group will yield some results. Please shoot me a PM if you're available for hire. Or, if anyone has a person they recommend please comment and let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I’m new to 7sage and was wondering if there is a PDF with the group 1-4 keywords when we start talking about logic.

My PT scores are around 166-173 and just got a 16mid score in April, aim 173+ in June. Hope to find someone to discuss PTs especially RC/LR section together, also we can oversee each other's study schedules. Please DM me or reply if interested!

RC is by far my worst section-- and the most inconsistent which worries me. I can go from -3 to -8 between preptests.

I find that on preptests I get a lot of inference questions wrong. I'm usually able to eliminate the obvious wrong AC fairly quickly BUT I ALWAYS select the trap AC.

I was wondering how other people tackle these problems and if anyone else has similar problems with inference questions!

I am planning on taking the November and January LSAT. But I am getting nervous because many schools that I want to apply to have deadlines in early February or rolling! (SoCal law schools) Will I still have a chance to get into a law school even if I submit my application in late January to start fall 2021?

Hey all you cool 99th percentile scorers out there. I am wondering...once you crack into the 170's...is the test just easy? I am stuck in the 163-166 range, and still find that every time I take a PT it never feels easy. I really feel like each and every test thoroughly kicks my ass, even though my score is continuing to creep up. I do feel like my understanding of the material has greatly improved, but it is certainly never a walk in the park.

Just curious!

How should I review PT 94? How is everyone else approaching using this exam to study?

Now that you can use mechanical pencils on the LSAT Flex, I thought I would give some advice here as someone that is a self proclaimed mechanical pencil nerd. I have used many in practicing for the LSAT and have to give my #1 recommendation to the Delguard ER . It is 0.5 MM and has a mechanism that prevents the lead from breaking (up to three clicks). It has saved me all kinds of time and frustration. The Delguard ER is great for smaller hands, and the regular non ER model is still great, but thinner. All around it's a great pencil. The eraser is OKAY, so I would recommend a mono black foam stick eraser, but that's your personal preference.

Hoping to run into a fellow SUSI alumni here. I'm an international applicant who previously attended a US institution for five-weeks through a government funded program as an undergrad. The courses were neither graded nor credited but when I emailed LSAC about it they responded that I would have to request the transcript (which I believe is nonexistent) anyway. Did anyone have to deal with this kind of issue?

just ran into an answer that entailed a baby preferring certain colors with no indication in the passage that it has any preference.

Can it really? How do we know?

Another example i've found is that one must PREFER an easier/more efficient task over a more difficult one! But why always??

In a broader sense, i've encountered a few situations in which the word "preferred" appears in answer choices, and i cant help but feel that the use of "preferred" is a sneaky attempt to get me to make an over-assumption!

Maybe it's just me, but anyways, I need to stop psyching myself out.

I wrote the LSAT-Flex on August 29th and was using the command-F feature during the RC section (I use a Mac). However, I'm used to hitting command-space to search things up on my laptop when I'm studying and I accidentally hit command-space instead of command-F during the exam which searched my entire laptop... I realized quickly and closed out of it and was too scared to use command-F after that. Do you think I will have any issues with getting my score because of this/should I do anything about it? Now that I've written the exam I can't help stressing over these little things! I don't want something like this to mess up my scores ahhh and I'm scared I'll get flagged because of this... would appreciate some opinions on if I should do anything

Hey guys,

So I’ve been studying on and off for about two years made little progress and I’m starting to reaalize it may be the result of my learning disability. In high school I had a reader read tests for me. As far as I understand the lsat must accommodate test takers.

I was wondering what having a reader would look like for the test and if anyone here had used a reader on test day.

I plan to begin studying at the end of this week but I’m not exactly sure how I should take the test, in the sense that I should have someone read it to me.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks
