On 7S you can find explanations pretty fast for BR. Is it the same for taking PT's on LSAC?

I will be taking the online version so it would be great to practice with the actual test interface I will see on test day.

Hi,

Is there anyone here that is an experienced developer that can help with an AI program that can take an article from the web and generate LSAT like RC questions from them?

I’m wondering if anyone else finds the estimated times for the lessons are way lower than the time they are spending? There are some lessons (most lessons) that say they should take 2-4 minutes to read and I spend easily 10 minutes reading them. I’m not worried about it because I think the time I’m taking to really understand the concepts and take notes will help me in the long run. That being said everything is taking me a LOT longer so my studying process will be longer.

Do other people have this experience? Advice? Comments?

Is the core course of $69 really enough to help me prep for the LSAT or should I be implementing something more?

I recently took a PT and as I was taking a LR section, the AC's were invisible and one was marked "Question removed from test" - is there a reason for this?

PrepTest A - Section 4 - Question 11

I chose B, wrong choice, we know about the climate in a location depends on the altitude, but we can infer from the stimulus that the locations at different altitudes, so thats not the flaw. I can see why answer C is correct, cause it overlooks the possibility of other characteristics rather then the shape or the size of the leaves that depends on the climate

Hey everybody! So I planned on taking the writing section last Saturday so I booted up the writing simulation to familiarize myself with the program. When I got to the ID verification section, I couldn't get a clear picture of my ID on my webcam after trying to do so for half an hour. Since I didn't want to risk getting my writing sample canceled on the real writing test due to my ID being blurry, I waited until today to call LSAC's technical support line.

The representative told me to get a new webcam if I wanted to take the writing section which shocked me a bit as I was hoping they would have alternatives for issues like this. I asked if I could talk to a supervisor to see if I could escalate this issue but he told me that he will forward my request and told me to wait for a call back.

Has anyone encountered a problem similar to this? Will I have to just bite the bullet and spend money on a better webcam?

Does anyone know if we can take the Flex with the color inverted on our laptops? This is where the background is black and the words are white.

Did any Flex takers try this?

Writing this for myself but hopefully someone else finds solace in this as well..

Got my results back this morning and was quite disappointed in the results. Scored a 166, which is the same score I received on the official take in May.

I’m so much better at this test than I was in May (PT average at the time was 166). I have improved, but frankly it sucks that this isn’t reflected in my official score. My PT average is exactly170 right now and I haven’t scored below a 168 in more than 5 months on a PT. My BR is consistently 176+ (and trending upwards) and if I can better my process even more, there are probably a couple of additional points I can add to my timed results.

Something happened in LR where I was just off my game and because that was the first section I could feel myself more distracted in RC. Based on the PowerScore prediction, I had the hardest compilation of sections and that might have affected my confidence too.

Either way, I’m ready for October. November too, if need be.

“So what, now what?”

hello, i got a 146 on my lsat and i was wondering if i should just cancel it or keep it ? Im trying to get in the high 150s which i believe i can achieve by the next LSAT exam i take .

I write to share an observation. Sometimes I struggle with the author's belief type question type in RC even when I have a pretty good grasp of the passage. I just realized that the problem might be because I didn't understand what they were asking me to do.

The source of the problem is assuming the correct answer goes further than necessary. The wrong way to approach it is to assume that they're asking you to take the author's argument and apply it in a new way, consistent with the spirit of the passage. Many wrong answers look like that, and I was falling into that trap.

The correct answers are more conservative. It's almost like we should interpret this question type as if it were a Necessary Assumption type in LR. The right answer feels like it's not really adding anything new.

In short, less is more. The correct answer is more like a MBT or a NA than it is an MSS.

Do you agree?

Please leave your telegram and/or line ID and I can sort a group chat together. Thanks!

You must be registered for an upcoming test in order to start the accommodations request process.

You'll need to submit two forms: Candidate Form and a Qualified Professional Form

You submit and wait to get an email. If you submit both forms it's very likely you'll be granted all accommodations you request.

Hope this helps!

Hi All! Fairly silly question but I was wondering what exactly the test format looks like for the official LSAT. When doing practice questions you can chose between 7sage format or standard format - is the standard one comparable to the actual format on the test? I read somewhere that when you're taking the LSAT for RC that there's a function that allows you to search words in the passage is this true? Additionally if anyone with insights could tell me about the paper and pencil format of the test that would be super helpful too. Thanks!

Seems to be that I am getting the most points off because of my lack of good timing. Does anyone have recommendations on how I can improve this? I want to take the LSAT in June before LG is gone, being that LG is my best section.

I am currently studying in China for a year and planning to take the LSAT in April. I cannot find much information about this on the website but I was wondering if the test is being administered at test centers in Beijing. If not, how is the platform accessible remotely given the restrictions on google and similar websites? Has any of you taken it in China?

Any advice would be helpful!

Hey! Perhaps a silly question, but is there a tool on the drills page to draw things out for LR questions? I have been searching for a pen tool to map things out, but I only have access to highlighters.

I took my first LSAT last September, got a decent score for me, and applied to several schools. I got some nice scholarship offers, but I ultimately decided to hold off due to financial concerns. I'm retaking the LSAT this November and planning to take another shot at applying this December (some of the same schools as last year, some new ones). I've heard a lot of people recommend at least updating the old PS. However, I'm considering a topic that is totally different from last year's.

In my first PS, I wrote about the area of law I wanted to go into and my passion for that industry. Since then, I've been pondering a childhood hardship that I genuinely think has shaped me as a person and could make a pretty compelling story that directly ties into my desire to go into law.

But would it be a bad idea to apply to the same schools as last year with this completely different PS? I made no mention of the hardship in my first PS, and it's not like this was an experience that happened since my applications last year. I'm not quite sure why I didn't write about it in the first place. It's possible I didn't fully see how it would make sense as a personal statement, or it just felt strange to write about.

I haven't used this discussion tab much before... If I left out important details, please let me know. Thanks so much to anyone that takes the time to read this!

Hello,

I was wondering what the 8 digit HTML keycode is on the ProctorU system checkup? Is that the same thing as the LSAC account number?

Thank you very much.

Hi. Its been over a year since I first went through the LR part of the 7Sage Curriculum and I have taken time away from studying in the interim. I am going to take the LSAT again to try to up my score, as I've taken a few PTs recently and scored 2-5 points higher than I used to score, consistently - trying to get every last scholarship dollar available.

I've spent most of my time since resuming studying working on LGs, but recently as I've started to work on grouping and in/out LGs, I've realized that I need some help going back over translating words into logic language, especially when dealing with negations, negative, or double negatives. Could someone point me to where in the 7Sage Curiculum I could get a quick crash course on logic translations for "or", "not both", and just basic logic translations to get me back on track as quickly as possible. I'm hoping to get back on track rather quickly and knock this (hopefully) final attempt of the LSAT out of the park.

Anyone have some tips on LR ? Would love to have a zoom call with someone who's strong on LR and maybe teach me a different approach? I read the powerbooks .. use Khan.. have Kaplan tutoring coming up.... Sometimes I learn better from peers.

Hello!

Could some explain to me why C is correct and how they arrived to the answer? Would also appreciate it if you could tell me why the other answer choices, especially D (which is what I chose), are incorrect! Thank you so much.

Just when I thought I was out for the logic games, J.Y pulled me back in! his explanations are so addictive. Having a masters in pure mathematics is even worst because I like this stuff.

I have only taken a few PTs. I only have two weeks before my LSAT (I know, I am cramming and it is not ideal at all). Should I take the newest PTs then BR them? I would assume that it won't do me much good to take the oldest ones?

Realistically, I will probably only be able to get through 3-5 PTs between now and then.

Preferably in Houston or surrounding cities. Please let me know if you are interested in studying together or just bouncing off information and ideas. Also holding each other accountable is very important to me.
