Hi all. I know that there will be 4 sections on the real LSAT, with 3 being scored and 1 being experimental. However, the default option for taking prep tests gives you 4 scored versions. Would you guys recommend taking the flex test (which would perhaps lead to a more accurate score?) or taking the regular version to more accurately simulate the endurance required for the real test? I am leaning towards the latter option, but I know LR is my strong suit, and I don't want to give myself false confidence with the benefit of a higher % of my total score coming from LR. Thank you!

I have one LOR already submitted, and I'm waiting on a second one. They are both professional. The one that is submitted is from my boss at a job I had while going to school. The second is from an attorney coworker I had at my most recent job.

I am confident that the first LOR speaks very highly of me and my abilities. That guy thinks I walk on water.

I am less confident in the second LOR. He knows me, and I worked with him every day. He is a good guy, but he is really dragging his feet on this thing. He agreed to do it back in November, I contacted him about it at the beginning of this month and he again agreed to have it done as soon as possible. He hasn't replied to my emails since then.

Should I just go ahead and submit my applications and add his LOR later if/when it happens? Should I ask someone else?

What does everyone think?

I am looking to study for a bit (maybe an hour or two) tonight with someone. We would have the zoom session to hold each other accountable (But studying our own thing). Let me know if you are interested.

Hey Guys!

I have an established discord server with other members taking the test where we have created an awesome community. Some members left or were inactive so we have opened the group up to new members. Message below if interested and I will send a discord server link in your dms. Really excited to add new members to our community!

Hi! I have been studying for 3 weeks nows, and I have been only doing 7sage. Should I be doing other stuff on top of the 7sage? I have a full time job on top of LSAT studying, so I have been falling behind on my studying schedule. Do you guys have advice on how to stay on top of studying or other study tips? Also, I want to create a group chat if anyone is interested!

Took the Jan LSAT and was going -0 on games for the past 5 PTs!

Having major anxiety waiting for my score, and I figured helping someone else out could help me with my own practice incase my journey isn't over lol.

If interested, message with the following: your name, average on each section, and what time zone you're in! :)

Hi everyone,

I've officially taken the LSAT twice (scoring a 164 both times even though I was averaging high 160s-low 170s. I choked, lol), and I'm getting on my final 5-month of LSAT prep to take it one last time in June. I'm on PST time and work a full-time job, so most of my prep is done on weeknights and weekends. I'm averaging around the 168-171 window, and I'm trying to PT in the 175+ area by test day to test there hopefully or at least 170+.

I'm looking for a small group of retakers to study with (potentially have a discord group going). We can hold each other accountable and brainstorm/test out new learning and test-taking strategies. I'm not trying to start from scratch, do sections, and BR those sections together. I'm imagining turning discord into basically a 7sage/powerscore/Manhattan prep live forum where people have questions they can post in the chat and hopefully have some folks break down the problems together. I envision recreating a productive library study session if multiple people are online. Like if some of us aren't doing a practice section or practice test (we'll be on dnd mode) and we're all reviewing problems, we just did and are not sure about a particular question/game/passage we hop in a voice channel, talk through the issues, answer any remaining questions, and go back to studying.

Let me know if this sounds interesting to anyone! The kinks aren't ironed out yet, but even if it's just a small group of 3-4, I think this could be super cool. Plus, if it's a group of retakers, for the most part, we all will already have some study plan for ourselves and just having a group who is in a similar boat as you can be a good resource and support network to use.

I'm using the schedule, marking each section as I move through it. I glanced ahead and only see one PT, the June 2007 test. But then I don't see anymore up to the actual test on March 12th. That can't be right, right? Will there be more PT's I'm just not seeing in the Syllabus?

which school and when? Also any international applicant specifically who has received a response?

Hi guys! Im looking to take the March 2022 LSAT and was looking to start a study group - maybe some people who like video studying?? (Pomodoro 50/10) I study best with people around so was wondering if anyone would be interested!

Hi All! Quick question? Regarding Lawgic and translation rules for group 3 and 4. I understand I need to pick either idea, then negate that idea etc. I am getting stuck at times if the idea I choose is already negated. Do I always remove the negation from the idea? I'm getting stuck in the rule of negating. Thanks for the help!

This is the LR question about a university president's concerns that applicant numbers are shrinking due to the low tuition costs of the university.

(A) suggests that the missing assumption is that the proposed reason for shrinking applicant numbers is true (if that proposition is false, the conclusion is false)

(D) suggests that there are no other reasons to explain the university's shrinking number of applicants (i.e. the original hypothesis is true).

These appear absolutely identical to me. Can someone explain how they are not?

Thanks!

This is question is for anyone that know the 7sage website. I want to take timed sections without going into the full PTs or having a section done without having to submit the whole test. Is it possible to do that or do I just have to use the Problem sets creator? Also I noticed that the problem sets are also timed. Can I do them untimed the first time around or is the untimed option only for BR? I want to use the analytics for the specific questions without having to do a timed section. Its hard to do that when I run out of time but I still have questions left to answer.

please share any information.

Hey you guys,

I've seen some questions and answers regarding whether LSAT Flex can be taken on full-screen.

I was not able to find any answers on the other way around.

I don't have a laptop, but instead I have an 27inch iMac. My screen is too huge to have my LSAT page full-screen.

It would just be a nightmare having to move my mouse back and forth just to click on the next button.

For those of you kind people who have an experience with taking LSAT Flex (or however you call it now - at home LSATs with your own cpts), were you able to adjust the screen size to your preference?

Thanks for the help. I might have to find some ways to rent a laptop if the above is not the case :/

Consider this chain:

A —> B—> /C or /D

I understand Demorgan's Law Regarding Contrapositives. But how do we work with the 'possible worlds' this chain represents?, particularly w/r/t moving backwards along this chain.

I believe it means 'If B, then "C not D, or D not C, or Not C not D.'. If that's correct, my next question is what would require triggering the negation of B?

If I'm presented in an AC with "Assume D", can I negate B?

In my mind, negating B requires BOTH Not C and Not D. Is that incorrect?

Also, what can I count on, if I have B? In out questions require us to move forward and backwards on these chains. It can get confusing. I would think, if B, I can't count on anything specific, because we could have not C or not D or neither. Or it appears I can count on NOT BOTH C and D.

Thank you.

Just some late words of encouragement for those taking the January exam. I tested in November and during the first section (LG) I was interrupted by the proctor 3 separate times, and not once did she pause my time. Because of this, I was unable to answer the final two Qs of the section. I was very frustrated because I was PTing at -0 to -1 on LG and believed I needed to match that on the exam to have any hope of achieving my goal score. As the next section began, I tried my best to put the disappointment behind me and focus on the rest of the exam. I’m glad I did because I remember feeling very good about how I did on the remainder of the test. And lo and behold, when the scores were released, I receive my exact goal score. Obviously, if you encounter some major issues, you are likely going to want to appeal for a retest. But if you hit some obstacles along the way, just try your best to put it behind you and focus on what’s still ahead. You never know, things might just work out in the end. Good luck!

Hi I was writing my test this morning. This was my third time writing my test and the first time writing the test the proctor asked me where my phone was and I said outside and he said to go get it and put it in the room (so thats what I thought it had to be). Today, my alarm went off (I know I should've turned off my phone so this was my fault), I asked the proctor if I could go turn it off (by voice), she said yes but show me your room after (by text). I did. I told her where my phone was (Across the room), and performed a room scan twice (showed her my laptop through the mirror). 2 min later someone came in and said you weren't allowed to do that and terminated the test. I was confused because the first proctor said yes turn off your alarm, and so I did. I called LSAC and filed a complaint.

What do you think will happen?

Hey you guys,

My test is tomorrow (freaking out) and I've been on reddit... I've seen people talk about using ctrl/f or command f for the reading comprehension section... does anyone know if this is allowed? I want to make sure it's okay for me to do during the test because it'll def make things quicker!!

Also, heads up for anyone who needs this: you can use ear plugs during your test! esp if you live in a noisy apartment :)

Hey everyone! I don't understand the difference between standard and target time. Would appreciate some clarification!

I already submitted my applications with an LSAT score already on file, but now I'm considering signing up for a future LSAT to improve my score. Will applications that are already marked "complete" still be considered even though I have an upcoming test date on file or will they put me on hold? Is this something I need to email the admissions office about?

Hi everyone, so sorry for the last minute question before my LSAT in the morning. My anxiety is conjuring up all types of questions.

My mousepad says "But first, Coffee" on it and I wanted to ask if anyone has encountered a problem with not having a completely clear mousepad.

Also, would I be able to use my wireless mouse during my test?

Anyone in Bay Area region (or anywhere else) wanna study for March? Currently scoring in the 140s. Mostly struggling with LR/RC and I recently started reading the Loophole.

Please someone help me figure out how to map out this LG! I'm so confused with the pet owners and non-pet owners and the apartments. Would this be a chart question? Or a group ordering? Question 10 and 11 specifically confuse me, please help help help :(

A couple of us got a study group together on Discord. We are going to be over prep tests once a week as well as LG,RC, and LR at least once a week. In addition, we can do accountability for individual study sessions. Let me know if interested.
