I just took a practice test on LSAC Law Hub, and I am reviewing my score. I swear it marked some of them wrong that I actually got right. It even says I selected answers that I had crossed out. It is too many questions for it to be me mis-clicking. For this reason, I think my score should have been higher. Is anyone else having this problem?

I do very well on LR questions but always trip up in one of the following situations:

  • I have misread the question stem, e.g. confuse MSS with "which one does not support", ignore the subject of the stem, etc.
  • I smother over lists, e.g. if it reads "well-read, intelligent, and thoughtful" I smother to "good stuff" instead of treating each trait independently
  • I do not act on the gut feeling that there is something wrong or that I misunderstood the stimulus; a good strategy would be to re-read and check for the issues above

    I am curious if there is any data out there that people have compiled showing that specific question types take longer than others. If I could guess, I am sure that parallel MOR and parallel flaw MOR questions would certainly take more time just because of the length of the ACs. Beyond that, I am not entirely sure. I have noticed a trend with RRE question target times being higher than something like MBT questions, for example. I would like to use this data to create a skipping strategy of sorts.

    Anyone near the Charleston area willing to study together? I find I focus more when I'm with someone else studying together and none of my friends can help me.

    Did anyone else notice that their mouse and or browser was somewhat laggy during the test? this made it really annoying to highlight things and even press on which answer I was choosing.

    I doubt that its due to my computer or internet connection because I am well above average in both of those respects.

    Anyone have any ideas? I'm assuming its just a byproduct of being proctored but figured I'd ask.

    Does anyone know how to access the giant web outline with all the components that the guy uses through the LR sections it looks like a massive web I would really like access to it to see all the essentials components outlined on a visual field.

    I'm averaging 155 and really hoping to break into the lows 160s for the October/November! Running into timing issues for RC , LG averaging -5, and LR averaging -10 lol (need the most help with). I would really like help creating a study schedule for the next 2 months and also like help for improving on these sections efficiently. Please let me know if you guys have any tutor recommendations or are a tutor yourself! Thank you :)

    Hello Can someone get me in contact with a student from UCI Law? I am writing my "Why UCI" essay and I want to get more information from a previous or current student at UCI.

    Hi everyone (mainly @ tutors),

    I'm currently looking for a tutor primarily for mastering LR and RC. If you're an approved and vetted tutor from 7Sage and have space for a student, please DM / comment!

    I am taking the June 2023 LSAT in-person and wanted to confirm the following questions:

    Am I allowed to bring 5 pieces of scratch paper to use during the exam?

    Am I permitted to bring my own writing utensils, and are there any requirements/specifications that I should note about them?

    Thank you!!!

    Hi, I'm having an issue and was wondering if anyone else had the same/similar problem in the past and how they've dealt with it. LSAC has given me the run around and won't "formalize, or whatever" my CAS profile until the issue is resolved, so my profile is incomplete. So if you have any ideas please let me know.

    Here's the situation:

    LSAC has received all my official transcripts

    Transcript from school A says I took class X at school C

    Transcript from school B says I took class X at school B

    I never attended school C

    I did attend school B and took class X at school B

    LSAC sees that the transcript from school A says I took class X at school C and labels school C as a school I've attended and failed to acknowledge

    I tell LSAC I did not attend school C

    LSAC told me that if I did not take class X at school C, then I need to have school A edit their transcript to show this fact and then I need to have them resubmit the corrected transcript to LSAC

    School A is no longer a school

    School A transformed into school D

    School D is the custodian of school A's transcripts

    School D cannot edit school A's transcripts

    School C has written a "letter of non-attendance" on my behalf and I have forwarded that to LSAC

    I've spoken with both people at LSAC proper and CAS, and supposedly last year when I was trying to remedy this problem, the letter of non attendance would be enough to remedy the situation (and this was after a big time sink of call after call after email). Now, I'm getting conflicting input on how to fix the situation from them, and also now they are telling me that the letter of non attendance needs to be sent directly from school C to them via snail mail and that the previously forwarded email from school C containing a scanned document with the signature of their registrar is not enough. Basically, the goal posts keep moving and I have no idea what to do from here.

    Problem persists without resolution and the fixes to the problem that LSAC are giving me are literally impossible.

    I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year now and August will be the last time I take it. My $99 Law Hub membership expires in 5 days (It is very annoying that LSAC started making people pay for this last year). Given that I will only be needing to use LSAT material for at most 3 more weeks, I cannot afford to pay another $99 just to stop using 7sage and Law Hub after the August test.

    Does anyone have any ideas on if there is any way to only pay a fraction of the $99? I never applied for fee waivers, so I would not be able to get one for the subscription. Any advice is much appreciated!

    Hello! Would anyone like to form a study group to keep each other accountable? I am free most of the day and would like to start studying between 9 and 10 am EST time. Am open to Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc. I am in the eastern time zone.

    Why C is the the right choice?

    Context: Some researchers claim that people tend to gesture less when they articulate what would typically be regarded as abstract rather than physical concepts.

    Premise: Because some people perceived words like xxx, as XXX....

    Conclusion: To point out that such a correlation is far from universal is insufficient reason to reject the researcher's claim.

    where is the reconciliation?

    Hello everyone,

    I am currently looking for a study partner, I am going through the core curriculum again to gain a more thorough understanding of the sections and concepts. If you are a person that has been scoring high on practice tests and have mastered the concepts behind the questions, and would not mind helping me, please send me a message. Thank you!

    I took the June 2021 test and the reading and logical reasoning didn't seem too bad, but the logic games seemed very difficult to me. I'm taking August test next week so overall how do you guys predict the games section on the August 2021 will be in comparison? What about the entire test in general? Also the curve for the June test lowered a lot of people's scores, do you guys think the curve will be more in our favor for August?

    Howdy everyone,

    I'm taking in November and probably January. I have access to all LSAC released prep tests but they are in PDF format. I also like the prep test format on Khan Academy. That being said, a few questions...

  • Can you cross out/eliminate answers on the online LSAT? I really on that super heavily. When I take sections from the PDFs I will write out tallies for all 25 or so questions just so I can visually see what I've eliminated.
  • What is the best way to PT to be prepared for the online LSAT format?
  • How are questions presented? Do you have one screen with several questions on it? Do you click on the letter choices? I have no idea what to expect...
