So some of the apps ask for all the LSATs you've taken and the scores you got. I have one cancelled score from July 2019, but do I still need to put that score and test date in? Or just put in the score I have received and is visible?

Hi everyone,

When taking timed practice tests, do you always attempt to select/eliminate answer choices with 100% confidence (otherwise flagging questions for Blind Review) as suggested? I feel like that would take away from opportunities where you could identify an answer as 100% correct and move on to the next question, thus saving time.

My speed sucks and I feel like I'd need to roll with the correct answer on questions as soon as I see one in order to see my full potential. I suppose I could flag those answers anyways to look at during Blind Review to validate the other answer choices are incorrect.

I'd love to hear your thoughts here.

Hi! So I have narrowed down my weak spots in LR and want to make the most efficient use of my time before the Nov LSAT.

How would you suggest is the best way to drill LR and blind review my drills?

Also, for anyone writing in Nov, what does your study schedule 3 weeks out look like? And for anyone who has written, what are some study tips leading up to test day you would recommend?

Thank you!!

Could anybody tell which section was repeated (unscored) in these tests? And were you able to identify it?

Good Afternoon everyone!

I have my LR down to -4 on average but am not confident in SA and NA questions no matter how much I practice. Any tips on how to do them without diagramming? I get more confused when I diagram and do not find it helpful in the least.

Thanks!

Hey everyone. I am doing the core curriculum and have noticed a lot of my answers I get wrong are because I simply read the answer choice wrong / argument wrong because I was so nervous to get it right within the time limit, even when I do not show the time elapsed. I plan on taking the test the second time in 2024 because my mind absolutely blanked during the actual test. It was like everything I had learned went down the drain and was like I didn't spend months studying for the test. I would greatly appreciate it for some tips to help this from happening again, whether it be for drills, etc. Hope everyone has a great day!

hey guys, does any one have tips on highlighting with MacBook, on RC passages, and LR premises?

Hi everyone! I am from Ontario and am applying to Canadian law schools. I got my score back from the October LSAT and it was a 154 (my first attempt). This is lower than my practice exams as I consistently score in the 160's. My question is, do you think I should cancel my score and try again in January? Also if I do the January exam will Canadian universities still consider me for admission? Thank you so much for you help, I really appreciate any advice:)

Hi,

Does anyone know any reliable LSAT writing sample answer?

Nov was my first LSAT and I thought LSAT flex just skip the writing section...

Thanks,

Rena

What does it mean when it says that a LOR is "In Progress" on LSAC but I know that the person has submitted the letter back? Thanks!

I am looking for someone who would like to study together who lives in Los Angeles. Maybe once a week? I am prepping for the December 2nd test. It will be my first time. My diagnostic June 2007 score was 162, however, I feel like that was partly luck, as I guessed on quite a few questions. I would say my areas of strength are well rounded but speed is my greatest weakness. I think explaining what you know to someone is the best way to improve. I am going with the 3 month 7sage package after I finish the free trial. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanks!

I've read a lot of horror stories about the last several LSATs taken remotely following the switch to Prometric. I'm trying not to worry. I know there could be sampling bias on discussion boards toward those who had bad experiences vs those who had zero issues.

Does anyone have advice to prepare? Additional items to have/remove, questions to ask, room requirements, etc.

I took the LSAT previously with ProctorU and didn't have issues, but it sounds like things have changed. I read the official guidelines on LSAC and Prometric, but I've also heard some contradictions (which could lead to interruptions).

Thanks so much in advance.

I just finished the principle reasoning section, and I'm wondering if I should go back and redo the lawgic lessons. I still find myself really struggling with the forms (and wanting to use them when I attempt to answer the questions). Has anyone had the same problem? Or has anyone gone back and redone the lessons?

BTW I plan to take the LSAT for the first time in April

In the past, spots would fill up for exams. Is that the same for the Flex? Do spots fill up and then people won't be able to sign up?

Working my way through the CC, and right now on LG. Should I do the board setup and questions before watching the videos? It feels more active learning to me that way whereas just watching the videos would be passive, but I also don't want to take on bad habits. Any advice?

I practiced a lot of LG questions and I got a huge improvement on it. However, my timing is terrible.

I want to ask for help on LG timing!

Please drop your advice!

Thank you so much :)

Hello 7sage community,

I have been studying for the LSAT for about 3.5 years. Normally, time standardized tests are one of my weaknesses. I have been using 7sage for the past 2.5 years and recently finished the core curriculum (CC) in July. Some of the reasons why it took me a while to finish the CC is because one of my professors and I are trying to publish a law article at the same time, and I work. Since my first practice test in July after completing CC, I have been able to raise my score from a 132 to a 144. Despite the progress, I am unsure of how to increase my score anymore. My desire score is a 156 on the LSAT by April of 2024. I want to concentrate on improving in LR and LG to achieve my target score. I recently bought “The Loophole” by Ellen Cassidy and intend to read it soon. And have been fool proofing logic games too. Is there anyone willing to be my study buddy, who is currently PTing in the 150s or higher, or is there any other advice that someone can give me to increase my score?

Okay so I have gotten above a 170 twice now, (171 and 176), which is cool and fun when I see the score, but should I pay attention to them in analytics? My average score is a 162, and with the exception of those two scores I haven't broken 165 in any of the 20 tests I've taken.

Hey everyone! Currently in the midst of doing this for UVA which requests that all applicants:

"list your significant extracurricular, extra-professional, community and/or other activities in the order of importance to you. Please provide a brief (1) description of each activity, and (2) specify your involvement, (3) length of involvement, (4) special projects, and (5) responsibilities."

I know a couple of other schools ask something similar so UVA isn't the only one that this applies to.

Anyways, curious as to what the optimal strategy here is in terms of quantity vs. quality - probably like a lot of people I joined a TON of organizations but probably only had a serious and sustained involvement in 3-4. On my resume I've limited the number of organizations that I list to just those that I would be confident talking about if anyone were to ask me about it - I mean after all no one is really going to believe that I had a meaningful involvement in 12 different clubs/organizations.. do you think the same principle applies to this type of statement: List and explain everything you did in the handful of clubs and organizations that actually meant something to you or exhaustively list everything you were engaged in and emphasize those organizations that were most important?

Also, been out of school for 3 years now and have not been involved in any extra-professional activities - how bad is that? Not super worried about it but kind of feel like I probably should have been doing SOMETHING lol.

Hi everyone.

I've been studying for about 8 months and finally scored above my goal of 168 to get a 169!! My average is currently at a 166. Does anybody have any recommendations for prep in the 4 weeks left to keep up this momentum and push my average a few points up?

Section wise - LG is about -2/-0, LR is -1/-6 and RC is about -3/-8 I'm currently taking a full PT and a Flex about every week with 2 days of blind review, 2 days of review and 1 day a week off. I try to foolproof and do RC passages on days I review also.

Let me know about any stress management or PT advice. Thanks guys!

Would anyone be willing to review the May 2020 LR with me? There were a few tough questions, and I would appreciate talking with someone about them. I'd prefer to talk with someone who does well in LR.

Hey everyone,

I spent 3 weeks at an international legal academy hosted at a university in Switzerland during my undergrad years. It wasn't any type of program sponsored by my university, and since it was less than a year long I thought I wasn't supposed to send the transcript to LSAC. But some law schools specifically say "Transcripts of postsecondary work completed at a college or university outside the United States or Canada must be submitted through the LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS)."

Does anyone have any idea whether these instructions would apply to less than a year of study, or whether LSAC would even accept the transcripts if I sent them?

Does anyone testing around 172-177 want to go over a test or two with me? I average around 173-176. PM me if you are interested. I have taken most of the tests available so we would have to do one of a few tests.

Is the 250 word optional essay a diversity statement?
