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!!!

Diagnostic Question

I just finished the Core Curriculum. I want to take my first diagnostic test. How can I find the diagnostic test or how can I go about it? Thanks!

Hello All!

I am hoping to take the test in August 2024 & October 2024 before submitting my apps in November, and I just switched my syllabus to the newer August format…but I am alarmed that that is not enough content to study with. Am I wrong? Any tips or advice for studying? Anyone know if there is something I am missing? How are y’all prepping?

Thank you :)

Over the course of using 7Sage, I sometimes get headaches and eye fatigue from staring at the bright white layout for long periods of time. Today I got that same eye fatigue and headache and decided to see if 7Sage has a nightmode, and they do! Great! I turned it on and to my disappointment it's just inverted colors and... it's really bad.

First, everything is inverted, and it just looks bad. The color scheme is now elementary school Halloween party, and with profile pictures (and all pictures) being inverted, as another user with my complaint said https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/34156 , gives off paranormal horror film vibes. Scary! Also the results page for drills and prep tests is a complete eyesore. The entire site turns from pretty to ugly :(

The other user I linked to mentioned that there are some problems in the lesson and explanation videos because of the inversion, like when pictures are brought up or when colors are used and referenced. I don't know how that could be fixed other than rerecording each lesson in nightmode (lol,) but out of the hours of videos on the site, those specific issues are so few and far between it's not really an issue to me.

There are also some visual problems not entirely related to aesthetics. The most glaring is the highlight function on drills and prep tests. I like to use all three highlighter colors on reading comprehension, but nightmode's inversion makes the yellow and orange practically indistinguishable. The current nightmode also puts more strain on the eyes. The inversion of everything makes the color scheme visually hard on the eyeballs, and some things are just crazy bright, like the bright orange at the bottom of the screen. Some buttons are harder to read and find, especially when it's a dark orange or dark gray on black. The pitch black background (as opposed to a grayscale design) contributes to the visual fatigue as well. White text on the black background creates a high contrast making everything slightly harder to read.

Currently, nightmode does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do! I, and I assume many other users, would really enjoy a more visually comfortable studying experience! Please make an update!

Thanx for reading :)))

Unlikely — but is anyone in the Tokyo area studying for one of the upcoming international tests and interested in forming a semi-regular study group?

I live in Tokyo proper, but I’m sure anyone in Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba could get into the metro area quite easily.

If you’re not in the Tokyo area but in Japan, please still reach out! I’m open to online studying as well if no one is around locally.

My plan is to take the October test.

LSAT Studying

I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed with my first lsat exam coming up next week. I don't feel very prepared and i feel alone in this process. I think i am becoming mentally drained and taxed from studying and not seeing results I want. i am super busy and a undergraduate playing soccer and working. I have been studying for 6 months for the june lsat 3 days a week for 2 plus hours. Im not sure if im studying wrong. i take practice exams twice a week. Is reviewing and doing the drills the best way i learn i feel like the way im studying now isnt working and i would like to try somthing new for when i take the lsat exam in November. im tyring to decide if i should just cancel the june lsat and take my first one in novmber or at leat take it and get some exprience im not sure.

What to do for 2 months?

I had originally been scheduled to take the LSAT in June, deferred it until August due to my strengths being in LR and RC, and now am unsure of how to proceed.

I have an extremely firm grasp on the LR and RC and do not wish to study the small, pedantic details for a 2nd and 3rd time because I do not want to get into my head and overthink.

But also I am worried that if I strictly take practice tests for 2 months straight, I will be burned out for when I take the test in August.

Has anyone else experienced this and how did you proceed?

-Thank You

I started using V1 back in February when I thought that I would take the LSAT with the logic games, but now I need to push back more because I’m not ready. I’ve done over 300 of the LR lessons, when I switch to V2 it goes back to 0. Can I just keep using the V1 for LR if I’m taking the LSAT August and later?

Law Hub

I subscribed to the LawHub Advantage this morning after linking with my 7sage account and for some reason it is not recognising the fact that is has linked and I'm not sure why. What can I do to fix this??

Does anyone know of any admissions group chats? I know LSD has chatrooms but I was thinking more along the lines of group chats or discords for people applying fall '24. I don't know many pre-law people, just attorneys from work, as I am in the workforce and am first-gen. If anyone wants an accountability partner for the admissions process please hmu! I've got a 164 and am going to be applying to several schools around t50, mostly in the midwest. Thanks!

I was consistently getting -2 on my PTs and after the April exam, I can't seem to get a PT with an RC score higher than -7. Any advice about how to get out of this rut (soon hopefully)? Any drilling advice for these next couple of days would be beyond useful!

Hello!

I've recently started to use 7sage to study for the LSAT. Im a rising junior in undergrad and do not know where to start. I plan on taking the LSAT sometime in the winter of 2024/25. I am also a first-gen student, so I feel like I have no guidance. I have read up on many LSAT reddit posts, but I am unsure if I should be "doing more" with studying. As of now, my current plan is to study for the whole summer and try to fit it into my academic schedule in the fall. How often should I be doing drills and prep tests? I am currently going through the foundations portion of the syllabus.

Anything helps!

Thank you :)

Should I take it?

Hello, I am contemplating a lot if I should take the June 2024 LSAT. I have started studying since Jan 2024 however my study schedule has not been consistent to the point that I still need 15 hrs left of the core curriculum and I have not been able to take any practice tests to see where I am at. I really want to get a high score at least 165 +. Should I wing it on the final chance I can do logic games or should I prep more for the August LSAT???

To help with my studies, I am reading books to practice some of the things taught in the V.2 curriculum. I am reading a book called Political Tribes by Amy Chua. On page 91 it states the following " Experts today agree that merely deploying twenty thousand additional troops would not have been sufficient had American commanders not "stopped fighting Iraq's tribal structure and instead started to cooperate with it..."

I think this sentence is similar to PT 64.1.18.

The way I would translate to a conditional would be

If not "stopped fighting Iraq's tribal structure and instead started to cooperate with it.." then, deploying 20k would have not been sufficient

or

If it was sufficient then they stopped fighting or started to cooperate with it

Any insight on this would be great!

PT90.S4.Q22 - Disagreement

Hi, I just finished this practice test and was very confused about why the answer to this question is E.

The stem is asking which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument. The argument can be summarized by the following: if a medieval epistemologist believed something, then it belongs to the broader category of medieval epistemology and vice versa.

The correct answer is: "there is much debate as to which medieval thinkers, if any, were epistemologists." The answer I chose is (paraphrased): some medieval epistemologists had beliefs that contradicted those of other medieval epistemologists.

Who cares if the first one is true? It's true that there is a debate, not that there for certain are no medieval epistemologists. Whereas, if the answer I chose were to be true, it introduces a clear contradiction (where X and not X are true at the same time). Could anyone help explain this? Thank you.

Hi everyone! I am planning to take the September LSAT (will be my second time taking it) and would love to set up a zoom study group! I think it would be helpful and also keep us motivated and accountable if we set up a zoom meeting every so often and helped each other study and maybe target each of our weak points. If anyone is interested and wants to set up a zoom study group, email me at halvarez9097@gmail.com. I can start a group text for anyone interested and we can find a time that works for everyone to meet on zoom :)

I'm debating whether or not I go through the foundations section to study for the August 2024 LSAT. It seems like a lot of the information would only be helpful for logic games?? Like for example the "Conditional and Set Logic" and "Logic of intersecting sets" sections don't seem like they would be any help on a test that has no LG. Any opinions on this would be great!

Diagnostic

I’m looking to study for the August and September lsat test. Is there a practice test I should take as a diagnostic for the new version of the test? Thanks!
