Hi everyone, I am brand new to anything law related lol and studying for the LSATs. I am watching the videos according to the study schedule on here. I would like to know how I should start with the LSAT live teaching classes? Or should I watch all videos first before taking live classes? There are many to choose from, but which class should I take first to familiarize myself more with the LSATs for beginners? How can I find that class to start with?

God Bless, thanks!

Hi everyone, my name is Tony Conigliaro and I am a senior at Boston University. I am planning to take the LSAT in August, and was wondering if anyone else on here is from Boston and would like to study together?

Anyone taking the LSAT in August or September of this year? Study Group? This is my first crack at it so I'm kind of nervous, but I am excited to start.

going through core curriculum rn for LR. Should I consistently drill at hard?

Hi guys! I'm set to take the upcoming April exam and my goal is 175+.

Right now the diagnostics look okay, as I am consistently scoring above my goal - anywhere from 175 to 180.

But what worries me is how often it turns out to be that our actual scores are much, much lower than our practice exams. I was scoring around 168-9 last year, when I first took the exam, and fell 7 points on the real exam. Yes, a score to be proud of, but I was crushed.

Maybe it's pointless, but I'm just looking for some hope and reassurance that with some good work, my scores will turn out okay:) An additional question to not just the 175+ scorers but everyone here, what were some of the issues that caused you to get a much lower score than your practice exams? For myself: it was not realizing how much RC/LR performance can deteriorate when you're panicking:)

Everywhere else I read says LSAT has gone back to having a fourth unscored section. But looking at the three options offered on the prep tests here confused me a little. To confirm, will there be an experimental section for the August LSAT?

The prep test starting page gives the three options below:

Plus, it seems like in the past the experimental sections has always been LR. Is it possible that the August test could have an additional RC question instead? How did the LSAC test new RC questions in the past?

Thanks for your time!

On full PTs, I scored a 178 and 179 in my PTs and then was scoring slightly lower at 173-176, but now I’ve scored 172 twice in a row. I can see I’m capable of that near perfect score, but now I am worried about the recent decline especially as I get close to the April test date.

For the entire time, I’ve been taking a full PT and blind reviewing on weekends and taking 1-2 sections on weekdays to take 2-3 tests a week.

Has anyone else experienced similar score declines and how did you combat them?

Not sure if this is just me, but it looks like there aren't any discussions under new PT questions now. But I know that these PTs aren't actually "new," but just mixed questions from old PTs. Is there a way to get these discussions from past PTs into these "new" PTs? Seeing people discuss questions is super helpful to me! #help

Thank you!

Hi all!

I am planning on taking the August 2024 LSAT. Would anyone be willing to meet online, perhaps over Zoom, once a week and we can go over a PT that we all took ahead of time and review it. I am in Chicago time.

I am aiming for a 174+ and currently scoring in the low 170s, ideally if you would like to join it would be better if you were pt-ing at at least 160+ but I am happy to study with anyone scoring anywhere.

Looking for an in person study group in Tampa Bay area if anyone is interested? I study mostly on weekends and after work. Registered for June

Hi everyone-

The room in which I am planning to take my LSAT has frosted on one wall covering the middle section, with clear glass on the top and bottom. Will this be acceptable for my remote LSAT?

Alternatively, does anyone know how I can take my test on an L-shaped desk, where one of the sides has a desktop computer?

Currently, I am leaving a lot of questions on the table during BR because of my overconfidence errors (I'm not flagging questions that I ultimately get wrong). How do you correct overconfidence errors? I feel like it's difficult because you don't even know that you're committing an overconfidence error (you think you understand the stimulus and the answer, so why would you question it?).

Because of this, I'm not seeing much of a score increase between my actual score and my BR score. Help!

Hi there, I cannot seem to figure out how to access and use the wrong answer journal in the review process after I've completed Blind Review. I'm not sure if this is a technical problem, or simply user error. Either way can someone help me out with this?

Thanks!

hi everyone! just wondering if anyone who has taken lsat with extra time or extended break accommodations can speak to if they were placed in a separate room with their own proctor? and if they had to check in with the test site prior to testing or if just being approved by lsac and showing up is enough. thank you!

hey everyone. wondering if anyone who has taken the test at a test site can tell me the exact materials we are given at a test site. I think i am seeing some varying info online so just trying to confirm if we are given pens or pencils and how many pieces of scrap paper we are given and if they are lined or blank. also just confirming we take the test on a desktop at the site. thanks in advance ! (i know this is super specific of me to ask ahha)

Obviously parallel flaw questions and some other question types like SA and MBT usually require logic mapping, but how do you decide during PTs and the actual test when to need to use conditional logic?

And what are the question types that 100% require mapping, often require mapping, and usually do not require mapping?

Thanks!

Don't understand the stimulus & why C is the right answer choice. Can someone explain please?

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

How do you folks deal with answer choices that are very long. I tend to freeze and be overwhelmed when I see long stimuluses and long answer choices.

Hi! I saw that the Drills and PT pages have been updated with the old/new PT to account for the new LSAT format, but now I can't find the LG drills. Does anyone know where I can find them?

I have been taking about 1-2 practice test per week for the past few weeks, and my scores have plateaued around 161. I am take the April LSAT, and I have about 2 weeks until test day. Any tips to jump 3-4 more points? I have taken 11 prep test since I started studying, and plan to take 4 more before I test.

Scores:

2/6/24 159

2/18/24 159

2/28/24 162

3/8/24 161

3/21/24 161

3/26/24 160

Hello Everyone! I am 21 years old, but I file independently because I take care of 100% of my living. I am not married and don't have any kids. I'm not sure why LSAC automatically marks me as a dependent and requires my parents' tax information to receive the fee waiver. Does anyone know a way to bypass this? I'm guessing it is because of my age but it doesn't make sense that it automatically thinks everyone receives help from their parents. Thanks in advance!

Hiii you guys I'm looking to find people in my area who are also studying for the LSAT right now and potentially form a study group so let me know if anyone is interested that lives in Western Washington primarily in the Bothell, Seattle, Bellevue area :)

Hello! I'm preparing to take the June LSAT and wanted to find someone to study with. I'm hoping we can exchange ideas, help one another out with understanding some of the challenging concepts. The LSAT gets demotivating so being able to learn new techniques or ideas would be great to avoid that feeling!!

If anyone is interested please let me know, we can create a plan which works for us :)

Edit: I created a GroupMe! For anyone who would like to join!! just send me a message and i'll share the link!

Where would I find a list of all the types of questions featured in the question tag?

Hey 7Sagers,

I just wanted to make this post to tell everyone that there is hope for everyone to make it, including those who don't start off with a decent diagnostic score. My diagnostic score was a 137, my final (PT) score was a 156, and my final (test day) score was a 154.

I understand that this isn't a 170+ score, but I think that it's worth mentioning since it's a nearly 20 point increase.

I started studying in May of 2022 and finished in January of 2024. People say that you can't expect for your score to change much from your diagnostic, but I just wanted to say that it did for me, meaning it can and will for you too.

I self-studied using 7Sage and Loophole. I also used 7Sage Tutoring, which really helped me with RC, as that's the section I struggled most with.

I've struggled a lot with wondering if I'm good enough or smart enough for law school, and now I am a JD candidate at a Canadian law school.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

I believe in you!
