Does anyone have a good explanation for this question? I picked B, and there is no explanation video for this question.

Hey everyone, I have written a personal statement that I am very happy with and wanted to get it checked over by one of the consultants at 7sage just to get their take on it. Has anyone used either the single essay edit or hourly consultation? Not sure which one to choose.

If anyone else wants to read it over, Id be grateful!

What the title says. I want to become better and faster at LG Inferences. I took a prep test (got a great score increase!) but I was only able to do two logic games. It took me sooooo long to get through those two games because I overthink too much and also I think about the inferences later while I am reading the questions instead of when I am drawing my game board. If I am being honest, If I can do at least three out of four games during the test I would be satisfied, I do not know if I can break 4 games fast enough before November ( but please tell me your tips, I am all ears and ready to put it all to practice to get this done!!!)

I just took the LSAT writing sample. I used every second. When the clock struck 0, I was taken to a page that said something like "Oops, error. Try reloading the page or talk to us in the chat". My videocamera and screen continued to be recorded. I chatted with a proctor and he said the close will tab. I'm still worried it didn't get submitted...... Has this happened to anyone else? How do I check to see if it got submitted?

My situation: I have signed up for the October and November LSAT and plan to apply for this round. The thing is that I just decided to apply to law school this June, so I do not have much time to prepare for the LSAT and take the test. I have great Anxiety and only got accommodation 50% more time for the November test (I missed the deadline to apply for October. In my PT, I am now around 164 for normal timed tests, but because I constantly get distracted by my anxiety, if under the accommodation time, I am around 172. My parents and friends all suggested I take the test in October, just not put all chance into one test, but I am afraid my anxiety will make a mess in October, making it even below 160s. I am concerned some law school admission boards would concerned about score gaps if I got a better score in November. I actually took the LSAT in August, which was definitely a disaster because of my anxiety. It turns out to be 151. I am just afraid that the nightmare will happen again in October without accommodation. With more resting time and extended time, things definitely felt better from my end. But, all the people around me suggested I should take the October test. What would you recommend? I think the main concern for me is the score jumping if I messed up in October, or if I take then canceled will the admission board think that is a terrible grade and still consider it be a score jumping.

Hi,

When I received an email from LSAC that Sanoma will not be compatible, I emailed them right away asking if Big Sur will be supported. I just got a reply that they only know that Sanoma will not be compatible.

As always, LSAC really doesn't help. My August exam had been a huge nightmare, so I'm already very nervous that things may not turn out well at some point in the test procedure.

Does anyone know if Big Sur is compatible with Prometric system? Is there any way I can confirm that?

Greetings Friends,

I am really stuck on comparative passages. Every other passage I am solid on and rarely get any wrong, once the comparative show up I will get -3,-4 on that passage alone and completely screw up my RC section. Any tips to get better at them? Going through and answering questions based on passage A does not work for me.

Thanks,

I feel very stuck. I've managed to nearly perfect my LG and I've never struggled much with RC, but for some reason I can't seem to get over this hurdle with improving my LR. Whenever I get one wrong, I watch the video explanation on it. Sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes I feel completely and utterly lost no matter how many times I rewatch it.

I know some people are going to tell me to drill my fundamentals until my brain hurts, and I do, but so many questions still make absolutely no sense to me. It's not even a specific section I struggle on, it's just... all of it.

Does anyone else feel this way? What do I do about it? Advice?

Edit: Whenever I look at another RC or LR question, I feel sick. I actually enjoy doing LG and find myself doing some just for the enjoyment of it, but RC and LR... the mere idea of reading another stupid paragraph about some trivial crap is making me want to run a railroad spike through my skull.

Hi everyone, I am taking the LSAT in November and have decided to skip PT 60's and 70's in favor of doing more recent tests. Am I going crazy or are the PT80s considerably harder than the others? Even in BR, I initially was getting in the low 170's but now I seem to be BRing in the low to mid 160s! It has definitely made me nervous and I feel a little burned out so perhaps I'll take a few days off after review.

Just wanted to get everyones opinions and any advice would be great!

Also I have been working on my timing and not getting freaked out during the test, especially when coming across very difficult questions, misc LGs or challenging RC passages like the ones in PT85.

Leave everyday study to-do lists or what I have learned in the comment area.

Can anyone please explain the pattern of reasoning that would make the answer C?

Hey everyone!

LSAC has provided final instructions for the October 2023 LSAT that can help you ensure that you're ready for test day.

◉Students testing remotely:

Before your test session, make sure to log into your LSAC LawHub account with your LSAC username and password to confirm they are correct. Look for a new "LSAT" option in the left-hand menu of your account, which should indicate your eligibility for the October 2023 LSAT. If you do not see this option, contact LSAC immediately through their chat feature on the LSAT Website, email LSACinfo@LSAC.org with "OCTOBER 2023 LSAT ISSUE" in the subject line, or call 1-800-336-3982 during business hours.

IMPORTANT: If you are using macOS to take the October 2023 LSAT remotely, do not download the new macOS Sonoma 14 update. This update is not compatible with the Prometric secure browser. You are strongly advised against downloading the macOS update prior to taking your October 2023 LSAT. Read more about this, and what to do if you’ve already updated, in our recent blog post.

Make sure to download and install the ProProctor application at least 48 hours before your test. If you are using a work or school computer, ensure that you have administrator rights to download the necessary software. If not, consider using a different computer.

Check your system readiness: Before test day, be sure to follow the instructions provided in the Prometric ProProctor portal and perform an enhanced system check to ensure your computer is compatible with the ProProctor application. Additionally, you can watch this short video prepared by Prometric to familiarize yourself with what to expect on the day of the test.

On test day, ensure that you start your test session punctually, as failure to do so may lead to cancellation. To guarantee a seamless testing experience, follow the checklist provided for remote test-takers. If any issues arise during the startup process, utilize the chat feature in the ProProctor interface to seek assistance from Prometric or ask your proctor for help.

◉Students testing at a Prometric test center:

It is important to arrive at the test center 30 minutes before your scheduled test session. This will allow time for you to complete your check-in process and start your test at the time you scheduled. Failure to arrive on time may result in a test cancellation. To ensure a smooth testing experience, follow the checklist for in-person test takers and watch the video provided by Prometric for guidance on the check-in process and what to expect at the test center.

◉General preparation and reminders summary

• The Candidate Agreement prohibits discussing the test content on social media and using a cell phone during the test.

• It is recommended to familiarize oneself with the LSAT format using the free practice tests on LSAC's LawHub.

• The LSAT consists of four sections, including a 10-minute intermission between the second and third sections.

• Familiarize yourself with the rules for the intermission. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in a cancellation of your test.

• In case of significant issues preventing completion or affecting performance on the test, use the online form that will be available in your LSAC account to report them.

Outside of these testing hours, please call 1-800-336-3982 if you need assistance.

LSAT Writing: All test takers must have a completed and approved LSAT Writing sample on file to receive the score on November 1 or have it released to law schools. The sample must be completed through the provided online link in their LSAC account. LSAT Writing for the October test is now open. If test takers already have an LSAT Writing sample on file from a previous test, they do not need to submit a new one.

Hi all,

If you're interested in joining a study group where all we do is co-work on zoom, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support. (This is especially a great group if you struggle with ADHD, anxiety/ are neurodivergent or not!)

If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

Can someone explain to me why B is the correct answer?

I have been trying to improve logic games but I end up getting confused sometimes and I just do not know how to improve

Hello 7sage hive mind!!

I have a few questions re: Character and Fitness section.

Every school asks if you have ever been disciplined for academic or non-academic reasons. Do university parking citations count as being disciplined by the school? Does anyone care? This was 7+ years ago.

Along a similar vein... If schools want to know about speeding tickets, should I disclose written warnings? Also, should I disclose when I was pulled over but not issued anything?

I'm clearly down the rabbit hole here lol.

Thanks in advance for your advice

So sorry for the promptness - I guess it doesn't matter too much, but today is my last pt before october exam. should i take pt 89 or 83 as my last one?

And my tutor told me to not look at the score - as this can cause overestimation / overconfidence or anxiety / nerves depending on how I do ? my average right now is a 165.8-166. What do you guys think?

Does anyone have advice on how to narrow the range between the score of a timed PrepTest vs the score after blind review? I'm consistently getting a range of about 10 points between both and it is discouraging.

Should I be taking practice tests as I complete the modules? I feel like going 6 weeks without taking a practice test is really long.

I remember reading somewhere that you should show the door in the background of your camera when testing remotely so that the proctor could see it. However, my desk is currently located not in such a position, and I was wondering if previous test takers experienced proctors actually checking that? thank you in advance!! :)

In logic games im getting a bit confused. When are two items always apart?

for example is the always apart

/j --> k

or is it

j --> /k

or is it both? I've seen JY put a place holder in many in/out games saying these two are always apart but when do you know exactly they're always apart?

I am trying to hold a debate with these LSAT questions at Gangnam station on weekends. I currently score around 165-172 on the LSAT. If you need more information, please send me a DM.

I've been studying for several months now, and I do pretty damn good on the drills and adhering to time constraints, but when I do the actual preptests i'm missing so much! I don't know if its anxiety or the fact that everything that comes up is hard.. but it's upsetting because I have such great hope for the October LSAT. I don't know what to do.

Hi, I'm having trouble with this passage's last question, which discusses what statement is more likely to be made by a member of Third Party, rather than the Popular Front. I chose C because I think the Third Party focused more on racial issues for African Americans, rather than the Popular Front's retreats on attacks from White Chauvinism. I'd like to know why B, considering that it is more general and less racially focused, would be more in line with the Third Party rather than the Popular Front, who seem more broad and general. My only possible answer is that the Third Party is less appealing to moderates, and the AC B really doesn't appeal to them. But, this does not inform me of why AC C is wrong.
