Proctors: They were friendly. Did their job well in keeping everybody separated by one chair between each test taker and verified materials that were brought into the room.

Facilities: Test Center was located off campus in a small strip mall in a small building owned by the school. Clean and comfortable but kind of chilly. Take a sweater.

What kind of room: it was a big open room with various long tables as opposed to desks. There were about 5 test takers at each table with a chair in between each.

How many in the room: I think there were about 25 people

Desks: None, just long tables.

Left handed accommodations: Not sure what this means but, ok,sure.

Parking: ample parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: about 20 minutes

Irregularities or mishaps: I initially thought the test was on campus so I was wandering around campus looking for the test center. When I finally arrived to the testing center, they said it was off campus. I was almost late. Another thing that happened was that some guy showed up without a passport photo. He wanted to leave to go get a picture as required and they would not let him because he would have been late. He was unable to test that day.

Would you test here again?: no, I took my LSAT the first time here and the second time I went about a half hour further to get to another testing center. I'll review that one later.

Date of Exam: June 2015

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

Note:

Proctors: Very unprofessional. My proctor kept making jokes leading up to the exam and asking us personal questions. If I am about to take the most important test of my life, please take it seriously. She just made a lot of unnecessary side comments while going through the directions in the beginning, which was extremely annoying and distracting.

Facilities: I took it in the basement classrooms in Frelinghuysen. It's a basement for a reason. It was absolutely freezing during the exam. I kept my jacket on the whole time, which was really uncomfortable, but I had no choice because it was either I kept my jacket on or I froze to death.

What kind of room: Classroom.

How many in the room: Around 40.

Desks: Tiny. They are the desks connected to the chair. Barely any room to keep your booklet open and your answer sheet next to it.

Left-handed accommodation: I am not sure if there were left-handed desks in the room.

Noise levels: Not too bad. The room was small, especially for the amount of people in it, so it felt really crowded and stuff in there and you could hear everyone's little movements.

Parking: I got dropped off. The parking lot next to the Student Activities Center was full when I got there. Most people came from their dorms though.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: A lot of time. It was an extremely inefficient use of our time. The line was so long because no one knew that there was a second line if you went down the stairs. There were two different check-in points but they didn't make that clear whatsoever.

Irregularities or mishaps: When I got there, the line was out the door, so we were standing in the rain for 30 minutes before getting inside. I waited in the second line that was down the stairs because I thought it was another check-in. That line took another 30-40 minutes, and when I got to the front, she told me that that desk/line was the same thing as the one upstairs. So I wasted that time waiting in line instead of getting in the right mindset for the exam. By the time I got in the classroom, we waited another 30 minutes for the last people in those lines to get checked in. Overall, it was a complete mess and the worst way to begin test day.

Other comments: My proctor let someone go to the bathroom after they entered the test room (which you're not supposed to do), and then 6 more people said, "Can I go to?" so we waited another 20 minutes for all of those students to go to the bathroom when you're not even supposed to leave the classroom as soon as you get in unless you go to the bathroom during the exam. Just shows how unprofessional the proctors were and serious they were taking the exam.

Would you take the test here again? Not at all. Please, sign up to take it at another school. It's not worth your time and money to take it at a place that will waste your time and money.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 2015

Proctors: The proctors were the school staff and were reasonable. The main supervisor did announcements regarding test instructions from the podium in the lecture hall over the mic so everybody could hear it. The test was done in a very large lecture Hall and all the test takers were in that single big hall.

Facilities: The restrooms were right outside the lecture hall. It got crowded during the break and there was a small line in front of the restrooms, but not something that was too bad.

What kind of room: The Hall was very large with seating for about 300-500 people, but test takers were seated so that one seat between consecutive test takers was left empty. This was almost necessary as else the test takers would have been seated too close. There were around 100-150 test takers in the hall.

How many in the room: ~100-150

Desks: The desks were long continuous lecture hall style of seating. The chairs were individual and height-adjustable.

Left-handed accommodation: Not left handed so I can't tell, but the desk chair style didn't appear to pose an issue for left-handedness.

Noise levels: The nature of large lecture Hall meant that there could be people sneezing, coughing, sniffling at times. I happened to get the wrong seat where two test takers right next to me were sick and were sneezing for various sections of the test. This did distract me in the middle of a very tough section as it got louder. Other than test takers noises, there wasn't any other noise.

Parking: Right next to the lecture Hall room. The parking is marked with a notice that it requires parking permit, but they said one could park there. It would have been better if they put up a notice next to parking notice that the LSAT test takers could park there during the duration of the test.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About an hour.

Irregularities or mishaps: None that I noticed.

Other comments: The only main issue was noise from other sick test takers due to the nature of the large Lecture Hall

Would you take the test here again? likely yes

Date[s] of Exam[s]: Dec 2015

Hello again, fellow 7sagers.

After doing a week of Pacifico's LG drilling method, I've noticed improvements in the relatively easier/medium games regardless of their type. However, I find that I still continue to struggle diagramming the more difficult appearing games. I use "appearing" because even games that are "simple" or "easy" to solve continue to give me a problem if they consist of multiple categories or variables (for example, I got 4 incorrect on PT 3's first game which is not difficult at all). Arguably the most difficult questions, for me anyway, are those with subcategories, particularly in/out games with subcategories. I simply just struggle with creating a good diagram, which is incredibly frustrating because if I could draw these types, I would be only getting about 2 or 3 incorrect per LG section.

So, my main question is this: should I be approaching these question types differently? Perhaps is this a mentality issue? Is continued drilling and familiarity the answer? Yes to all three? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. As I mentioned, my scores would be vastly improved if I simply could diagram these seemingly complicated games more clearly.

Proctors: Very professional and well-versed

Facilities: Clean, open environment

What kind of room: Large lecture hall

How many in the room: About 100

Desks: Very large (each of us had our own individual desk)

Left-handed accommodation: N/A

Noise levels: Quiet (some noise if other rooms finished their test a little earlier/had earlier breaks.)

Parking: Very convenient (free large parking lot available to test takers right next to testing building)

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Over half an hour

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: None

Would you take the test here again? Yes

Hi guys,

Let's get ready for June together! I find that 7sage is great for self study, but when it comes to writing PTs I like to put myself in an environment where other people are writing, too. I find I perform better around real people and it makes PTs go down easier when you're not the only one doing it.

I was thinking of getting a little group going where we get together once a week and write a PT, BR it and then discuss answers. I'm in Oshawa but I would be happy to meet in Toronto.

(As always, don't share your personal information publicly -- just post here if you're interested and I'll get it going.)

I noticed that the graph in the LSAT Analytics page that displays your section performance over various PTs has two different curves for Logical Reasoning. I don't see why this should be so. The curves make no distinction between the two LR sections on each test, nor should there be one in my opinion. I can't glean any insights from a curve if I don't know what dataset it represents, and there doesn't seem to be any relevant distinction between the two LR datasets. So would it be possible to combine those two curves into one that represents the total amount of LR questions missed on each PT?

Hi guys,

I am planning on taking the LSAT in Sept and was wondering if anyone knows what the Marymount University in Alrington, VA testing center is like? I want to go there to do some practice tests but I'm not sure which rooms they used. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

In the link below, can someone explain number 8? The comments don't provide a clear answer, and I have no idea what it means. It makes no sense how dull means "placing demands on readers" to me

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-19-section-3-passage-1-questions/

I've created 2 new listicles for you this week.

The 7 Stages of Waiting for Your LSAT Score https://classic.7sage.com/the-7-stages-of-waiting-for-your-lsat-score/

Reactions Everyone Has to LSAT Logical Reasoning https://classic.7sage.com/reactions-everyone-has-to-lsat-logical-reasoning/

I just got my LSAT score. My UGPA is between Harvard's 25/50 and my LSAT score was 170. Now I'm very worried about my chances at Harvard. If I were American, I would be an AA male. But since I am not American I don't know how much of a boost I'll get. My goal is patent law and I am in the last year of a Stem PhD. Should I prep for September or should I take my chances with 170? Oh men. The curve was -11. Why couldn't it be -13?

I am looking for a group of individuals who would like to work together during the blind review process. I attend Fordham University and I can get us a small study room with a white board and everything else that is needed. Looking for a dedicated and serious bunch of people who are ready to kill the LSAT together!

Anyone have any luck with this one? I don't understand how there's support for no reliable protections, when the only protections discussed in the passage are very specific legal protections.

Thanks!

https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-55-section-2-passage-1-questions/

Anyone want to blind review or want to study together that is from Westchester or NYC?

Is it just me or does PT B (February 1999) from the SuperPrep series seem more difficult than all other PrepTests? If so do you guys have any ideas on why this is? Maybe I just had a brain fart really struggled with this one haha

So I ran into this workshop series that apparently hosts private workshops with T14 schools across the country every year at different locations. By any chance has anyone come across this website before and/or attended one of their workshops? Are they any different from the LSAC forums? If anyone happens to be in the LA/Silicon Valley or Atlanta area, I hope this can be of use!

Thanks!

I'm looking for a study buddy in Chicago who would be willing to meet in person maybe 1-2 evenings a week. I'm prepping for the September LSAT and would prefer to work with someone already scoring at least in the 160s but I'm pretty flexible. Send me a message if interested!

Who's going this Saturday??

I'm going and would love to meet up with some fellow 7Sagers!
