Leading up to your test date, are you taking PTs in order (like doing PT 80, then 81, then 82, etc)? Or bouncing around? By "bouncing around," I mean taking a PT in, say, the 50s, then maybe one in the 80s, then one in the 70s, etc. I understand that more recent PTs are more representative of modern tests, so I'm not sure that I want to use super recent PTs when I'm still 3+ months away from the actual test. I also don't want to get a false sense of security from older tests if I'm scoring higher on them, however.

When I take PTs, I always get headaches. Is it something normal for others too? That's why I feel like I perform better in timed sections rather than in PTs. Any suggestions on how to not get headaches when taking PTs?

I plan on doing the CC for the next 2 months (after which I will foolproof 1-35 LG and then after move on to drilling sections/question types then taking pt etc etc etc). But in the meantime while I complete this CC, I’m wondering how many problem sets I should be doing? What did you guys do that was most beneficial? I know I’m supposed to leave some for drilling later, and I plan to do AMPLE drilling of weaknesses way down the road (I’m taking 10 months to study this). So help me out: should I do odd numbered problem sets? Exactly half of them? One easy one medium one hard? A couple easy a couple medium a couple hard? Until I “understand” the question? (which I don’t even know when I could fully say that if I’m only starting with the beginning ones bc they are easy…) Let me know what you did/what you wish you did/what will be the most advantageous for me?

Also, when you did these problem sets during CC, did you do them untimed? 1 min per q? Target time? I’m thinking that I should do them untimed bc I’m still learning the material and don’t want to reinforce bad habits with a clock interference (at least for now). Maybe leave the timed drilling sets of specific questions until after cc? Idk. Let me know if you have any insight into ^^ any of this! Thanks!

Hello,

Do you happen to know if there are ways to prevent technical problems from happening again? Also, do we get to resume where we got kicked off from or do we have to start all over with a different exam? Are there any disadvantages from retesting? Thank you so much!

Just wondering if anyone encountered this situation: I was taking the first section early today, and everything went fine for a while. All of the sudden, the proctor started to ask me to reposition the camera without stopping the timer, and she asked me 3 times in total. The section was logic game, and my train of thoughts were completely disrupted ever time she talked to me. So, I have to go back to where I was in the question and trying to figure out what my thought was. During the third time, I got extremely upset and told her this was extremely disrupting and "please just shut up". She then told me that she's simply following the guidance. This process caused me a lot of stress, and I was not able to focus thereafter. I disconnected with the proctor righter after the first section, and filed an official complaint to the LSAC.

Was I being unreasonable? Or was she being unprofessional? I am so pissed.

I've been struggling with LG and my strategy to study so far has been to do a game until i get it all right and in time (usually 3 tries) then i'll put it aside and do it again the next day. That next day I'll just do it once and then do it again the next day until i get it all right and in time 3 times. This usually leads me to doing a game about 5 or 6 times. I want to do the foolproof method but I don't understand if it would mean doing the same game ten times in a row then moving on or how do you space out the ten repetitions?

I think I'm blind... I can't find the link to take my LSAT Writing portion on the LSAC LawHub account. Am I missing something super obvious?? Where is it?

Anyone know of a good LSAT tutor? Taking the October LSAT and trying to score at least mid-160s. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm dedicating most of my time to achieving the highest LSAT score possible. However, I'm curious as to what role one's GPA plays in the admissions process. Are the LSAT and GPA of equivalent importance or can a higher LSAT compensate for a GPA that may fall at or slightly below the 25th percentile? I understand the process is subjective and depends on a case-by-case basis. I studied abroad for a semester and the overseas school's grading system is stricter than the way my home university transferred my semester GPA so I graduated with a 3.82 (magna cum laude) but LSAC has processed my cumulative GPA to be 3.78 (still magna cum laude). Will this .04 drop have a significant impact on my application? I identify as a minority but probably not URM and I will be applying to T-14 schools aiming for 171+ LSAT score.

Anyone else have technical issues for the online August LSAT (Friday)? I ran several diagnostics to ensure that my 2018 MAC air could accommodate for ProctorU but right before the test, they said it was too slow. I made sure to close all my applications and run through the ProctorU diagnostics before I tested (they all came up perfectly fine). Now I sent a complaint and hopefully I can rewrite it on the 23.

Also if anyone has written on the Tablet; is it more difficult/ could I use my own Ipad and Pencil?

I have only been practicing on my Mac so I am worried that the tablet format may be hard to do for logic games given that it would have to be propped up so I could work on the problems on my scratch paper!

Hey 7Sagers,

I am taking the August LSAT tomorrow, but im pting around 160 - 161 consistently, no where near where I want to be (169+). I am taking the October one since I know I wont get my needed score for my schools. I took up a job and life stuff happened and I fell behind on studying for a month or so (Wont work until October so I can study full time for retake).

Does anyone have advice/tips or routines that worked for them in that amount of time? My averages for each section are -7 LR, -8 LG, -5 RC. I know LG is the easiest to improve quickest, but I really feel like I hit a wall in timed sections and want to plan out a routine, and do NOT want to wait another cycle to apply. Any advice and tips are appreciated, thanks!

Hi! I'm filling out the 7Sage Admission Consulting form, and it says to send our academic transcripts to them. Does anyone know how I can obtain copies of this to send in the email to 7Sage? Would I have to reach out to the individual schools again or is there a way on LSAC that I can obtain copies?

Thanks!

taking LSAT tomorrow. today I went on to proctoru and this is what it said under "tests unable to run on browser"

I called proctoru and left message (nobody answered), called LSAT (told me to call proctoru), and have googled and not found anything helpful. I have messed with settings on my computer too but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? or has this happened to anyone else but been fine on test day?

PT 9, S2, Q12:

I was looking for an answer choice that said something along the lines of non-purebred dogs being just as expensive for reasons other than genetically determined abnormalities and thought B addressed that. Is A correct because it's stating that even if there are genetic abnormalities, it is not necessary to treat them through surgery and cost-intensive procedures because the overall health of the dogs is fine? What was wrong with my reasoning and why is B wrong?

PT 10, S1, Q16

Found this question difficult overall, still don't understand what I'm supposed to be looking for in the correct answer. Asteroid-collision with the Earth was the popular theory but new theory available so question stem is asking to weaken the asteroid-collision theory? If so, how does E weaken? #help

Hi all,

When I started prepping a month ago, I was scoring quite highly, not far off where I wanted to be. After a month of intense study--reading the PowerScore books, using resources here, and doing the Blind Review method--I'm finding that while I know more about the patterns in LSAT questions, my basic instincts regarding the rightness and wrongness of individual answer choices seem to be dulled. I tend now to overthink my choices--quickly dismissing ones that feel intuitive because they seem too obvious. But, my intuition was all I had when I was taking tests the first few times (and scoring much better), Now I'm in a slump and don't feel the same intuition I had before. Has anyone had this problem? Will it improve with time? I'm shooting for the October LSAT, or November if I need.

Thanks

I am struggling with this question-could someone help? I am struggling to understand the premise as well!

Thank you!

How was the test everyone? Any specifics or any news?

Hi can you please explain the question stem; what is it asking? And the answer choices.

I'm confused on what ac B is trying to convey. Is it trying to state that he should not have inferred that just because some people did not like the segment, others must have OR is it stating that he should have inferred but did not that since some did not like the segment, others must have. I interpreted the latter which is why I eliminated the ac but if the former is true, this choice makes sense as the correct answer.

Does anyone have a LR study guide/cheat sheet for each question type? Would help me immensely. Thanks in advance.

How is answer C and D different??

Someone explain why D is correct

Kind of a silly question but when taking the LSAT flex is it allowed to talk to yourself? I find it easier to do the questions when I can read them out loud ^_^. Also can you use cntrl + F to search for words?

Hi everyone! I’m looking to start a study group that will meet at least once a week for 2 hours where we go over questions/share information/hold each other accountable. I want this to be an interactive community where we can support and learn from each other. Would anyone be interested in joining?
