I just logged on and everything is locked. Drills are locked, preptests are locked. Everything. Is there a bug?
Hi! I’m looking for a 1:1 study buddy who's scoring in the low 140s to work on strategies and do some questions together. I’m already working with a 7Sage tutor, but it’d be great to team up with someone at a similar level for some extra practice. If you’re interested, dm me! Thank you!
Help pls!!!
I began PT93 this morning, when I began it was 2 LR sections and 1 RC section. As I finished the third section, I noticed the 4th LG section. This is pointless for me to complete, but I am concerned that my general score will be impacted if I don't complete this section. Is there a way to change the format so that the results for the three sections (2 LR, 1 RC) I completed are graded and the 4th LG section is dropped?
It's upsetting to know that I worked through those three sections and I won't see accurate results because of the LG section. There should be work to get rid of this section completely.
Like the logo always reminded me of something but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Alas, here I lay, at 2 AM, next to my sleeping lover, and I am having this eureka moment.
Do you think it was purposeful? And Like maybe that’s also why they chose the color to be blue? To make the similarity less obvious?
Also- Lawhub. Doesn’t the name remind u of a certain..ahem… website….
My first LSAT was 8/24 and I got a 156. My most recent one was 10/24 and I managed to raise my score to a 166 which is odd because at the time I was Pting around 160. Even recently I have not scored a PT over 166 at all. I am signed up for November but i'm thinking of canceling and just applying with the 166. My GPA is not the highest (3.3) but i'm burnt out and working on apps. I almost think i'm scoring worse now compared with 2 weeks ago. Should I chance it but risk getting a worse score than 166? Any advice?
Okay, I've been basing my applications/chances off of the admissions predictor on 7Sage......problem is I just looked the the predictor on LSAC and my odds look ALOT worse. I know LSAC doesn't have the option to choose what month you apply but even still the disconnect is making me nervous. Anyone know why this is and which is more accurate?
Hello,
I was wondering how you all approach question stems asking you to identify a term or expression that someone in the stim misinterprets or misunderstands? I haven't seen this question type a lot, but I'm not too confident whenever I do come across them...even if it's lacking in difficulty! There's no section that covers this question type in the curriculum, likely because it's so infrequent, so I'm curious how to study for it and improve!
Thanks for the help!!
😭 I am stressing out. I started studying just 6 weeks ago. Originally scored a 143 on the diagnostic. Now I am scoring an average of 158. Then I got a 171! couldn't believe it. Now I am back to mid 50s and honestly. I feel like crap. I think. I am burning out. I study around 10 hours a day, 5 days a week like a full-time job.
However... I deff am having the biggest issue with timing. Also second guessing myself. it is to stressful and I just needed to vent. I deff need to just take my own advice and take a freaking break.
I am taking the November exam on the 9th. So I don't have a ton of time. I feel like if I don't apply within the next 2 months, I am just not gonna make it. I do plan on taking the January exam as well but I feel like applying after that exam is just so freaking late. I have my letters, personal statement, etc all done. Just need the LSAT score.
Anyone else feeling discouraged or in a similar situation? I feel I should take a few days off despite being so close to test day. Any advice?
thx

I am taking the november lsat, but also plan on applying to some schools before scores are released. How do I make sure schools receive my new scores? Do I need to send it to them or tell them there is a new score on file or will they automatically be updated.

Hi all,
Instead of getting a bunch of 1 question type wrong on my PTs, I've been getting 1 of 6-7 question types wrong. For example, I'll get 1 Necessary Assumption, 1 Flaw, 1 Weaken, etc wrong on a PT.
I am really not sure what to drill if I'm just getting this wide variety of question types wrong individually. Does anyone have any tips or has anyone been through this situation that can help plan next steps?
Thanks!
Do our references have to have submitted the reference before NOV 1 or can I submit my applicaiton and still have their submission be pending? One of my references has still not completed it but it says viewed on my applicaiton.

Forgive me for complaining I just need to vent :')
I know everyone says the progress isn't linear, but it is SO hard to find the motivation to study after your score goes down
Three weeks ago I got a 169 on a prep test. I was ecstatic. After 3 months of studying, I felt like I was finally about to break into the 170's.
Eager to prepare for another prep test, I spent the last three weeks adding to my wrong answer journal, going through the syllabus, and drilling question types I got wrong. I felt so confident.
I just finished another prep test about an hour ago, and I scored a 164. It is not a bad score at all, and in fact if you told me 3 months ago that I would score a 164 I wouldn't believe you. But now, I feel like that 169 was just a fluke. I feel lost on how I can study better, and I am scared my score is plateauing, and I will burn out.
I just don't know how I should study more effectively. Should I just focus on going through the course? Should I just drill over and over again? I just don't know.
I know just about everyone here has gone through something similar, so I would appreciate ANY advice you have for me on how to regain this motivation and study better.
Thank you for letting me vent, good luck to everyone studying!
Has anyone had issues scheduling their test for November 2024. I tried last week when the window opened and withing 30 minutes all the dates were taken. Now LSAC says they will request more dates, but they can't guaranteed that every student will get a time slot.
PS. MCAT dropped prometric in 2017. Why would LSAC hire such a horrible company? They are know for being unreliable.
If you'll are having issues, what are you'll doing?
I have emailed everyone in LSAC called every office and no one gives a solution. They can't give me a report # all they said is that their supervisors would contact me. The emails have all been BS responses with a "we wish good luck on your test". From what I have been told if Prometric can't accommodate us, we would need to reschedule to January test. This is a big no for two reasons:

Hey y'all, I am thinking of writing an addenda about a family emergency I experienced earlier this year (I will write a bit more below). Additionally, should we but trigger warnings if we discuss heavier topics? With that I will put a TW: Suicide Attempt for what I am going to continue to mention down below:

My brother's SA was a couple months ago as I was getting ready to start studying for the LSAT. Of course I delayed it to be with my brother and family but it deeply impacted me (and honestly still does). I have been formally diagnosed with some conditions because of this and although I have been able to study, it has been hard. Should I write about this in an addenda? If so, would it be appropriate of me to put a trigger warning? Thank you in advance for any replies (3(/p)
Here are some pointers that are installed into my brain but they may or may not come out the way I intend them to. First, be able to understand which questions are hard and which questions are easy. Usually, reading the stimulus and the question number itself (ex: 1-13), I can usually assume it will be a relatively quick question. So during these, I read the stimulus and understand the task that I must complete. Then I go to the questions and answer quickly, not giving much time at all to answer choices (instead of trying to reason with each answer choice, I quickly eliminate each choice that isn't 100% correct). Building a habit is what enables this for me, through a series of practice, I can understand/read the stimulus and know what the answer should sound like about 90% of the time, at least on the easy questions. Then on the harder questions (15-20), I usually take a little bit more time, I understand the patterns and by the time I go into the questions, once again through repetitive practice and habit I will be able to have an idea of the correct answer, but usually these harder questions have two answer choices that work with what I built. From there, I decide which answer is most strict to the stimulus, not which answer overall has the most profound and "reasonable in the real world" answer, but which answer applies MOST to the stimulus. Then for the hardest questions (20-27), I know that these are created to be hard, so the answer choices that answer it as if they are the questions within 1-13, I usually assume are wrong because it is meant to blind others from further thought and reasoning with other questions. I can usually scratch out 2 answers like this and also scratch out 1 answer choice that is meant to sound overly "smart" (such as a choice with profound wording and definitions that are within our syllabus, like "the justification of the commerce trader is appealing to a kind, that unlike the kind within the stimulus, is unreasonable with further efforts", basically just a string of random and confusing texts.) Remaining with two answers, I would usually pick the answer choice that I believe COULD work, however, after further practice I now understand that these answer choices are also usually meant to make us over assume, which leads to an incorrect answer. So I have begun choosing the 1 of the 2 answer choices, that although don't sound AS reasonable as the latter, need less assumptions/ or no assumptions at all to take place in order for that answer to be correct against the stimulus, even if this answer choice isn't as strong as the other would be, it is still stronger in face value because it does not need extra assumptions to take place. Once again, I don't know if this information is accurately written down as it is in my head but the main tip I am getting at is that you must practice and get used to the question types that will be persistently used AND remember that this is a test made by a human, so this human will try to use certain techniques to make you miss questions, try to combat these techniques, that are primarily used in the hardest questions, by remembering past techniques used.
So many times when I am reviewing what I got wrong, I look back at the question and I'm like why the hell did I choose that question. Why does this keep happening.
Also, most times I end up choosing the second best answer and how can I fix this.
I feel like I am understanding the test better, but somehow I also do well on the experimental section of the test and bomb one of the scored sections. Also, my LR scores on my last practice test varied from 4 incorrect to 11 incorrect.
Is anyone else having this problem??
ANY advice for this issue?
my biggest problem is that i rush through questions and this results in me picking the most attractive wrong answers. answer advice on how to stay patient and thoroughly consider every answer choice?
Paid for LawHub, and paid for 7Sage. But cannot access any tests on 7Sage.
Hi I was wondering if someone can give examples, and ways to tell a difference between the two argument structures, and how to tell them apart in a stimulus.
Premise: B Conclusion: A -> C (missing assumption: B -> C)
versus
Premise: A Conclusion: B->C (missing assumption: A-B).
Beyond happy to be done 🥳
Took my first diagnostic in October of 2023 - roughly 1 whole year before I took the October exam a couple weeks ago.
Though 146 was my lowest, I've scored PTs in the 150s and a 180 and everything in between. I just wanted to give hope to those of you with low diagnostics that a 170+ is possible with proper study and hard work and to remind those of you still on your LSAT journey that progress is not linear and is rarely ever truly consistent.
Thanks a ton to 7Sage and to JY for all the explanations, the drilling app, and the analytics UI. Couldn't have done it without you guys.
I'm a non-URM with a 4.0 and a 172. PT average about the same with a few (recent) scores between 174 and 177. Is it worth taking again in November? My top choices are Michigan and Northwestern.
