Hello,

I have recently been given the "pause" accommodation where there will be a pause button on the test interface. I have been researching this accommodation, but LSAC does not mention much about how to use it or what it really allows. Has anyone used this accommodation and could give some tips?

All I have really found is that your testing session can not exceed 10 hours.

Thanks

My most recent lsat score from the October test was a 158. I am trying to get into a top 50 law school and am considering taking the April lsat to offset a waitlist that I received and to boost my odds for other schools. I'm not sure how much of a jump I'll be able to do in that time though as I work full time. Should I wait and take a later test in the summer or August to have more time to study to try to improve and then apply immediately at the beginning of next cycle? Or should I wait to hear back from all of the schools that I have applied to and go from there? I was waitlisted from my first choice. I might swap from a full time job with normal 830-5pm hours to one that is 5am-noon in order to make a better study schedule. Any advice would help!

Thank you.

If you could help me to connect with student or alumnus (or you are a student or alum) for the following schools that would be great! I just have a few simple questions that should only take 15 minutes to ask. I have connections for many schools I am applying to, but I have absolutely no connections with a few.

Priority: USC, UC Davis, U San Diego, U Colorado, Texas, U Oregon, Pepperdine, Boston College.

Less priority but still urgently looking for student/alumnus: George Washington, WUSTL, NYU, U Michigan, UVA, Northwestern.

I am a super splitter- that's why I am applying to so many. Thanks for reading and TIA for any assistance!

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any good tips or resources regarding the writing portion of the LSAT (videos, sample essays, etc). I'm planning on doing it today or tomorrow night, but maybe I'm rushing it... any help would be appreciated!

When learning Basic Translation Groups 1 and 2, I noticed that an example pertaining to Group 1 was worded as so:

"Where the judges are independent there will be a good legal system."

I can't seem to find the correlation with the word 'where' in this sentence and how it fits into Group 1. Can someone maybe explain why it is similar to the word group that goes with Group 1, and how it can't be with the word group for Group 2: Only, Only If, Only When, Only Where, Always, Must.

Thanks!

why is D incorrect? In responding to the Rotelle, Sims shows that the same could be said about Rotelle's youth and inexperience when it comes to age, so isn't that thereby showing he is contradicting himself? How should one choose between D and E?

It's unclear to me why D assists in weakening the argument? Isn't the argument that efforts have not worked to have people recycle plastics? If so, how does it weaken the authors argument that recycling methods have improved for non-plastics? Very confused. TIA

Hello!!

I would like to score a 175+ on this test, and I have read numerous answers about how to approach the problem sets. If I want that high score of a score, should I do each and every problem set? I don't want to run out of fresh questions, but also, I know I won't remember all of them if I do. I am around week 2, so I would love to hear advice from others who are further in the curriculum.

Thank you for your help.

I'm currently signed up to take the February exam. I took the LSAT in October and got a 164, and I'm really hoping to get at least a 170 since this would be my third attempt, and I won't be able to take any more exams until the next cycle begins. I was studying on and off between November and December, and recently committed myself to studying full time since I graduated from college a semester early. However, I just took a practice exam and got a 164, the exact same score as my real test. On the other hand, if I were to continue studying as I am now until April, it would be taking up a lot of time I could spend on other things, like finding a job or working on applications. Is it possible to improve in such a short amount of time if I really commit to it, or would I be better off saving my last attempt for the testing cycle and buying myself a little more time?

I very recently got approved for accommodations in the form of 150% time--53 minutes/section. I have taken the test one time without extended time, and I have been studying for my upcoming test since November 2022 without that in mind either. I am seeking advice on how to adjust my studying. I don't want to "relax" too much and get slow, but I don't want to rush myself either. I was wondering, also, if any forums/blogs address this adjustment. Thanks!

I recall taking a single timed LR section as part of the syllabus at or near the end of the LR curriculum, however I deleted it and can't find it anymore.

I would like to retake it to assess where I'm at after taking a hiatus from studying, however I can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know where I could find this?

Thanks

Hey guys. I was wondering why I couldn't sign up for any exams after June 9th. Is it because they just haven't posted those yet? Or will there even be tests during then? I know there were last year. I graduate undergrad this year and hope to be able to apply for early decision by November 1st for law school so I can attend next year 2024, otherwise i'll have to wait until 2025. The cycle is so annoying. If there are going to be Sep/Oct tests this year my life would be so much easier. I already plan to take the June exam but would like a backup date if I dont like my score.

I couldn't access my original 7Sage account so I made a new one and purchased monthly + Prep Plus. However 7Sage + LSAC won't let me link the accounts, so I'm out $168. I can now access my original account, but my new account is useless and I lost that money. I can put a block on my credit card to prevent the purchase, but any idea how to resolve this? I want to be able to use 7Sage but I'm not dropping another $168 just for it to not work again.

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official January 2023 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the January 2023 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Wednesday, January 18th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.
  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.
  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3
  • The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.
  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.
  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June
  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?
  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count
  • Good luck to everyone taking the January 2023!

    **Please keep all discussions of the January 2023 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Hello everyone! I'm still going through the CC and reached the section about "Some and Most Relationships." I understand that the negation of "all" is "some not."

    "All A's are B's."

    Group 1 translation: A→B

    Negation: A←some→/B

    This might be a silly question, but does this mean that all the logical indicators in group 1 should be negated this way? For example:

    "As long as there are A's, there are B's."

    Group 1 translation: A→B

    Negation: A←some→/B

    And does this also apply to groups 2, 3, and 4? Does "all" basically represent all the universal quantifiers we learned in "Intro to Logic"?

    Thank you!
