Hi,

I have seen different opinions online for whether one should write an LSAT score addendum. Let me begin by saying I know my score isn't representative of my potential in law school. I graduated 3rd in my class in college and have a 3.97 GPA but I just really suck at standardized testing and English isn't my first language.

With that being said, my October test went terrible and I had a proctor who would move my mouse (he had remote access to it) while I was highlighting the reading passages and took me out of the screen when I was doing LR, (the screen went from LSAT to a random tab). He also took about a minute away from my LR because he logged me out after I pressed "start this section." I did re-take in November however, and I got a score lower than both my other tests! Maybe I was burned out, I don't know. I didn't have tech issues though.

Any advice on what to do?

Looking for a study buddy in Korea to polish games down to -0 & get LR/RC down to consistent -2 before June.

I'm an undergraduate student juggling full-time work, full time study while living independently. My current gpa is 3.8. In my initial attempt at the LSAT, I began with a diagnostic score of 135. Despite dedicated self-study since September 2023, my November LSAT score was 143, falling short of my goal in the 158-160 range. This was disheartening, especially considering my average practice scores were in the 150s. As a mature student, I'm eager to avoid waiting another year.

Seeking guidance, I've never enlisted the help of a tutor, relying solely on self-study. I'm now seeking advice on recommended books, potential tutoring options, or any resources that could aid in reaching my goal. Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

So I was scheduled to take the test at 7am this morning and I had ran the equipment check multiple times the night before and the morning of. All equipment checks said I was good to go. However, once i went to start the test, the testing session had another system check called "ports" and repeatedly failed. This "ports" requirement was not a part of the equipment test and I had no idea that this could be a problem. I contacted tech support and they went through my settings and made sure everything was good which it was. I had techs straight up leave the chat multiple times and had other support workers having me repeat the same uninstall-reinstall tasks over and over to no avail. Eventually, after 2 hours, one of the techs just sent me a link that let me bypass the testing session and finally take the test around 9:30. There was no problem with screen sharing or them controlling my computer so I can only assume this was a technical error on their part.

While I got to take the test, it was immediately after 2 hours of non-stop heart-pumping stress and a few nervous breakdown close calls. I will definitely be taking it again in October but this has set back my app date by a few months all while I have to study for the lsat again while finishing my senior thesis. Im at a loss for how I will manage all of this now. Besides just letting off steam with this post I would like to know what you all think I should do. I do have chat logs with the technicians. I know filing a formal test complaint with LSAC will delay my scores by 3 weeks. Should I try and contact LSAC by other means and let them know the situation? The biggest thing is that I do not, under any circumstances, want to take it again through ProctorU.

I was BR-ing this and I have some questions, but I'm not sure of we are allowed yet.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there's anyway I could improve how I've been drilling. I started doing questions around the beginning of the month and have been focusing on drilling on LR questions about 5 -10 per day. However, I feel like I've been taking these drills for far too long untimed. Usually I drill 5 questions for about 1 - 2 1/2 hours when doing them. Once I've submitted, I check answers depending on how many I got wrong which can last for up to 2 hours. Filling LR journals take another long time as well. In general, I feel like doing small increments as such eats alot of my time up for the day and feels somewhat ineffective despite trying to score consistently high. If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve drilling/studying for the LSAT, I would much appreciate it. Thx

Is there a way 7sage keeps track of drilling/timed section progress? (sort of like LSAT Demon does)

I'm currently scoring: 155-160

📆 My planned test date: April/June

📈 To study, I have been: Studying all of LG to try and get -0 and reading the Loophole

🔑 My goals for this group are: to hold each other accountable and study in person together.

🔍 We'll focus on: Whatever we find necessary

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: As much as possible!! I am open to every week day and weekends off or Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

✅ How to join: Zoom or in person

Or drill while going through the syllabus and slowly add in a new question type as you get to that chapter?

hi, guys!

if possible, i'm looking for some advice - thank you so much in advance :) i have taken the LSAT four times and canceled one of my scores last october due to extenuating circumstances.

my fourth score, the nov. 2023 LSAT, is much lower (:/) than my highest score and i'm worried would put me in a disadvantageous position considering that i'm applying this application cycle, which i was planning to in the next couple of days but hadn't expected this. considering that i already have one score cancellation on my record, do you think that also cancelling my nov. 2023 LSAT score would be harmful to my application?

any and all thoughts are appreciated!!!

Hey guys, new to 7sage here. Any tips on how to utilize the site to maximize potential? Been blasting through the ciriculum and watching the videos. Should there be a mix of skill practice(aside from the built in skill builders) in between or is that best for after all of the core is out of the way? Let me know what you guys did/do!

The passage starts with a conditional claim, then there is a shift, claiming that in order for the A ---> B B has a condition, so in order for the claim to be true we need to assume that the condition is true for all cases. That's why AC E is correct.

So I graduated from undergrad a semester early. I finished my last classes, finals, etc., in December 2020, however, the conferral date on my diploma is listed as January 31st 2021. Under the education section of some applications it asks for start date, end date, and degree date. Should I list my end date as Dec 2020? Or list both end date and degree date as Jan 2021 as to not be confusing? Other applications ask for dates attended and degree date, so same question for that. Thank you in advance for any insight!

Is there a way to practice a section at a time, review it, and then try a new section? Is there a way to do this or do you create a drill?

Hi. I am an admission consultant specializing in college and graduate school admission for international students. I have dealt with many students from China. I think it is helpful to address a few talking points I see posted on forums on why international applicants have a disadvantage when applying to American law schools.

Looks like Columbia only considers score from LSAT taken after Jun-2017 as valid for this cycle.

This is a big difference than ALL T14 schools and LSAC itself that considers any score from June-2016 or after as "valid" for current cycle. (The rule is score has to be within 5 years prior to current cycle so that makes anything after June-2016 as valid).

I'm at the margin with a lsat score from Fall-2016 and was planning to apply.

Anyone with experience with this situation?

Hi all,

I took the LSAT in February and I was hoping to retake it again in June. Unfortunately, I broke my right elbow on Thursday. I am right handed and i'm typing this all with my left hand as we speak.

Has anyone here studied without you non-dominant hand? Any help on strategies on how to diagram logic games without writing it out by hand? I am more concerned w LG than the other sections. Hopefully I'll be healed by May.

Thanks!

Hello!

I was wondering if we took the LSAT this June and submitted a writing sample, will we have to write a new writing sample for the August 2024 exam? (Since the format is changing a little bit)

I am slightly confused as to how Q22 = AC: C?

Doesn't C leave the possibility of

1.) Network to U to P to T to S to T to R to Q

or

2.) Network to T to S to U to P to T to R to Q

?

I write on Saturday, someone please let me know ASAPPP!#help

Hi all, instead of writing individually, here is the link for anyone who msged me about discord link, and/or if you are still looking for a accountability and beyond group, here is the server link: https://discord.gg/AWekDrtwHc

This is the third time I select the correct answer and once I check in on the results the answer choices have been changed.

For example if in the stimulus the conditional statement is A->B can the right answer be /B->/A? or does it need to take the original form?

Hello everyone, I apologize if this information is listed elsewhere. If anything, I am hoping to understand strategies being employed at large and their results.

I am going through the older LSAT course. For each question type, the section begins with a brief summary of the question type followed by example questions and then a series of drills ranging in difficulty. These drills all pull from prep tests 17 - 35 from my understanding with the exceptions of some that generate from 40 - 60s.

In perusing the comments for each drill, there seems to be a fair mix of those who time those drills and those who don't. Which should I be doing?

That may be a loaded question because 'should' almost certainly depends on what works best for the individual (unless, of course, the instructor suggested one way to my ignorance). Whether to time or not seems ultimately to present a tradeoff between ensuring a base-level understanding and timing. Improving timing will have not benefit if the questions are not correct. And, to a lesser extent, your accuracy in questions can only get you so far under time constraints.

So, what has worked (and is working) for everyone? Up to this point, I haven't timed any of the drills. I was planning on completing each question-type section and doing timed drills of prep tests 1 - 16. But is it wasting practice tests to not be timing every single one? I would so appreciate hearing everyone's strategies - especially if it resulted in great results. Thanks!

Hello! I am hoping to attend Chicago-Kent College of Law and am writing my "Why X" essay. I was wondering if anyone can possibly please put me in touch with a current or former student who attended Chicago-Kent to discuss the school! Thank you so much everyone!

Hi all,

I'm having difficulty with the really challenging causation/correlation LR problems. Any suggestions on finding problem sets for these particular questions?

As a side note, I also struggle with the more "math-y" LR questions that haven't been as common in recent years, and am looking for problem sets on those, too, but my first issue is more pressing.

Thanks in advance!
