Yo! I'm looking for study buddies for Jan LSAT! I'm taking Nov but I wanna secure acceptances so I might take January again haha, anyways send me a message if you want to connect!

Hi everyone! I just wrote the November LSAT, and after 5 months of religiously studying I unfortunately feel like I didn't do the best... I am planning to sign up for January or February LSAT, In hopes of applying for the fall 2024 cycle. I really didn't want to have to wait another cycle! Is taking the February LSAT too late to apply? I hear mixed opinions, and all the schools I'm applying to priority deadline is March 15. I really wanted to have my LSAT scores and apply before Christmas but I'm afraid I'm looking at other options. Your input would be greatly appreciated!!!

So today I took my LSAT Writing and felt so lucky with the prompt I got. However, a bit into writing, I realized my grammarly extension was on and I accidentally opened one of the suggestions.. I avoided it for the rest of the exam, but now I'm worried my sample is going to be flagged and cancelled because it'll consider it cheating. This was my first time using proctorU and unlike proctortrack, it didn't tell me which softwares to shut down before the test, so I didn't even think about it. I'm so upset because I got so lucky with my prompt and now I'm thinking I'll likely have to write it again. Does anyone else have any experience with this happening? if so, what happened?I

Hi, I'm looking for some advice. My test is on Friday the 10th and I'm at the point where I think I'm experiencing burnout. I started a PT today but have no motivation to finish it. I'm PT'ing around where I want to be but the test I'm doing right now is not going well. What's the best approach before my test on Friday. Any advice would be appreciated thank you!

Hey all,

My internet cut out the last 30 seconds of our LR section review. Apologies for the confusion it caused anyone. In any case, thanks for all in attendance and see you guys next week!

P.S. I'm still looking for cat name suggestions.

Is there a way to get 5 random problems from test 59 and below? I don't want to select the type, I just need to know they are from tests 59 and below to keep my other tests clean.

I've been putting in so many hours and the progress is slow, I'm going to say its THERE, but slow!! And that's the challenge to push through the slow progress, because it's easy to get distracted. I have multiple crying sessions throughout the week while studying for it, I'll just have mini breakdown every couple days. How is this journey affecting you? Does anyone else have crying sessions while studying for the LSAT? LMAOO. For me, time is such a killer, I feel like only adding 10 mins to the exam would make me do so much better.

How much weight do softs have in the admission process?

Hi!

So I had just finished my Nov test and luckily I am signed up for January, but I definitely felt that nasty feeling after finishing it. Now I’m super motivated to do way better for January! I’m looking for some buddies or accountability groups in DFW area (texas) who want to come together and help each other out for the next 2 months!!

let me know!!

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well with studying.

I am working on my law applications right now, and wanted to see if anyone knows someone who can review my applications? I've been calling a few places but yet to receive a response.

Thank you in advance!!

Is it recommended to try to redo the LR questions we got wrong a few weeks after so they are not fresh in our mind?

"INCREASED SUBSTANTIALLY" in AC B is such a strong claim, I picked AC A bc the stimulus states that in previous decades the estimates are close to each other??

Hi guys I am creating a group for those who are going to be applying to ontario law school admissions and if you all want us to edit each others personal statements (blind review) or even to talk about anything admission related lmk i am creating a gc on whataspp but could also be open to ig

I have been studying for about three weeks now and feel like it is still slightly ineffective to take a PT each week this early and would benefit more from getting through most of the lessons initially. I took two diagnostics so far and feel as though not having really viewed each section, yet my score is most likely not going to improve. I know the benefits of blind review but would have to imagine taking a test each week after not enough practice is not going to yield as much growth opportunity as studying for maybe the first month or so. By the way I have a target test date of April but may push to June depending on how I am scoring on PTs when I get closer to that date.

Existing drills take so long to load and the page even fails AND building a problem set takes ages? I am so disappointed with the interface. I am considering cancelling...

Hey, so I just wrote my written section, and I hadn't even thought about this as something that could happen, but my Grammarly was on and making suggestions. I ignored it as best as I could, but I was FREAKING OUT. Will my writing sample get rejected???

I am scheduled to take my first LSAT this weekend. I can't seem to break a 150, however, and am thinking that I definitley will need to retake it in January. I want to get my applications in before the end of the year, which is why I am conflicted about taking the LSAT in two months. Because my UGPA is way lower than I'd like it to be, I want to show law schools a higher score, though, and feel like that should take priority.

I have been studying for months now and I feel like I have hit a plateau, which is pretty discouraging. If anyone has advice or has been in a similar situation, I'm all ears. Thank you!

I’m worried about taking the LSAT on the computer when I work much better when I am able to get write notes next to the passage in the margin. How have people worked around this? P.S. I won’t be able to get a paper accommodation.

Hi! So I am planning on taking the August lsat because I have decided to not study LG anymore, as it was my weakest. I am about 80% done with LR and then have all 77 RC lessons, which I don't expect will take more than a month or two. Obviously, I have a long time to study, but I know that the drilling sessions and PT sessions are meant to be taken after you complete all the lessons. I do not want to waste clean, unused material before I can make the most of it (aka, until I've done all my LR and RC lessons). However, on the other hand, I want to make sure I am practicing enough without JY's help always being available. I also want to test myself on the LR typesI learned weeks ago.

My question is - should I not be creating drills (other than the "you trys"and drills at the end of each lesson set) until after I have completed all my lessons, or do you recommend doing some infrequent drilling on question types I'm not doing well on? My fear is that since I have given myself ample study time, I want to save as much material as I can for when I really am trying to master my skills, not build them.

Would love to hear other people's study patterns and whether or not they go through the entire syllabus before using the drill or PT pratice options.

Thanks all! good luck with your studies

edit - I should note that I am working full time as a paralegal on top of studying, so although I have until August, I am only devoting between 1-3 hours a day and sometimes I do not study on the weekend much.

I am aware of sites such as Rate My Professor and Above the Law, but does anyone have any other websites to look at? I assume Reddit is a popular option as well.

Hi everyone! I am from Ontario and am applying to Canadian law schools. I got my score back from the October LSAT and it was a 154 (my first attempt). This is lower than my practice exams as I consistently score in the 160's. My question is, do you think I should cancel my score and try again in January? Also if I do the January exam will Canadian universities still consider me for admission? Thank you so much for you help, I really appreciate any advice:)

Hi all,

I finally took LSAT writing today. I took the August LSAT and tried to take LSAT writing for the first time a few days after the August exam, but technical difficulties prevented me from doing so. I think I thought it was okay to use Google Chrome, which apparently it isn't. Then, a few weeks later I tried taking it again (I waited a few weeks because it wasn't a huge priority for me to complete LSAT writing asap), but as I tried to test whether my computer was compatible with LSAT writing's online proctoring requirements, I got hacked. I then spent a week dealing with that.

Finally, I think I took LSAT writing today, but I'm not certain the exam was submitted. This is for a few reasons.

Under the status column on the LSAT writing page of LSAC, it says "Exam Initiated" rather than something like "Exam Completed."

Right after the last second elapsed during the exam, the webpage containing the prompt and text box immediately went away and seemed to be replaced by a screen that said something like "There was a problem" and some other text. I waited for about 20 seconds to see if this would change but it didn't. So, I tried refreshing the page. I think after that it went to a page that said the LSAT writing sample was submitted, but honestly I can't remember exactly. I'm concerned that this screen that said "There was a problem" means that, even after taking the 35 minute exam, it somehow wasn't registered or something.

I read on the LSAC website that after one completes LSAT writing, one will be able to read one's answer. Because I don't see any link that enables me to do that, I'm afraid my LSAT writing exam was not ultimately submitted.

Does anyone think they know what the deal is? Needless to say, I am extremely frustrated by how many times I have had to try to take LSAT writing. I hope I don't have to try a fourth time. Thanks a lot!

I take my test on 11/8 & I find my anxiety consuming. I commented on a fellow 7sager trying to encourage them to not focus on the number. But oof... it's hard. I'm not going to even lie I envy the people who perform relatively well in the 160s range & think their score isn't good enough. I genuinely envy you guys. I also hate saying that. It sucks when you get back into the admissions cycle of anything because comparing yourself to others is detrimental, but that's also the entire point of admissions. I know those who are aiming for higher and also aiming for different schools and their goals may be different than mine, but it still just sucks to think about.

I'm not sure if anyone can relate. I'm really embarrassed about my score, but like I'm also not aiming for an Ivy either lol. Idk I'm sort of venting, but I feel like I don't see many of my middle of the pack people on here. So if you relate please join the discussion.

I'm trying to tell myself it'll be okay, but I put in so much damn work and to some I know they would think my # is terrible. LIKE I LITERALLY HAD A FRIEND CANCEL A SCORE I WISH I COULD GET! Good for them tho, they raised it on their next test, but still.

It's difficult for me to keep my insecurities & doubts in check, especially as someone who struggles to feel confident in my academic abilities. Even though I finished undergrad w Summa, I still sit here wondering and questioning if I schools will want me. It's so nerve-wracking. I just don't want to feel like I'm alone in this.

Hi, 7Sage, it's been a wonderful time having used your service, but I want to know what your opinion of adding written out answers to old LR questions is. I have been drilling the old questions, but I cannot help but notice that among the PTs before 16-17, the LR explanations are scant, with exceptions of video explanations. However, the problem with posting videos is that it just takes too much time to review the question: you have to find the explanation of the answer choice that you were curious about. It would be much better if videos plus written out answers are added. Thanks always, 7Sage!

I took my first diagnostic LSAT in 2019 and got a 151. Last week I opened my LSAC account to see my final score from my third take: 171. To say I'm ecstatic is an understatement. It's been a long, long journey to get here. Through battling an anxiety disorder and, until recently, undiagnosed OCD. Through working multiple jobs at once and trying to study in my down time. Through navigating the normal ups and downs of life. It has been the hardest and most rewarding thing I've ever done. It took one year of procrastination, two years of on and off studying, and one year of dedicated, give-it-everything I've got studying to get here. And you can do it too! Don't worry about other people's timelines, their successes or failures. Focus on your goal and work tirelessly to get there. I believe in you just as much as I believed in myself!

Thank you 7sage for my first introduction to the LSAT, for walking me through conditional logic, diagramming, and question types. Oh, and for your stellar logic games curriculum. Saved my life. Thank you to LR Perfection to finally getting me consistently scoring -0 to -5 on LR sections. Thank you to Powerscore for their LR discussion forums and their podcast. Thank you to this community and the LSAT subreddit community for answering questions, alleviating fears, and encouraging me to keep going. And thank you to me, for sticking with it.
