What are some beneficial strategies for using scratch paper? Currently, I only use my scratch paper for LG diagramming and the occasional conditional that pops up on the LR section.

However, I am wondering if there are any other ways to use my scratch paper for the non-games sections. It seems like it could help digest certain passages in these sections. I would love to hear how others employ their scratch paper to its fullest potential.

In the explanation videos, he is always copying & pasting his gameboards. Can we do that during the test? Is our scratch "paper" just open space on the screen? He'll also write notes on the RC section's passage. I don't get how it will actually be during the test. Is it all on the computer, is it all on paper, or is the test on the computer, but the scratch paper we're given is physical?

Hi all,

I am taking the October and November LSATs and I am currently on hour 149/219 in the CC. I still have to complete all my PTs.

It doesn't seem feasible to expect to complete the entire CC plus all the PTs before my test dates. Should I prioritize completing the CC and the drills or should I jump around the CC and focus on completing more PTs? I am finished with the LR and I currently jump back and forth between LG and RC, RC coming more naturally to me than LG, which I will need to study the most.

Any comments appreciated!

I've been studying LSAT for 2 months full-time now but I still feel super lost.

I just took my first Prep Test (PT70) and got 152 because I could not finish any of the LSAC sections on time.

I feel like I do not have the "mental stamina" to do even one section with my best ability.

The most discouraging part is that I feel like I am wasting so much time and energy everyday (studying 6+hrs a day) but only get to do and review about 2 sections a day.

What can I do better and make the best out of my time before I take October LSAT?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Timing

Hi everyone!

I've recently been doing lots of timed RC passages and notice that when I look at the time breakdown for the passage, I see the target setup time is typically 1:45 - 3:00 minutes, but never longer. My typical "setup times" are in the 3:50-5:00 minute range and then spend 3-4 minutes on questions, whereas the target question time is anywhere from 5-7 minutes.

Is this what everyone is doing? I'm struggling to understand how JY or whoever sets the target setup time is going through these passages and comprehending them well in that quick of a time. I've never thought I was a slow reader, but these setup times are making me think otherwise.

Any tips or thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi,

For the tags in the logic games section on the drilling page, there's one for 'grouping with sequencing' and one for 'sequencing with grouping'. Does anyone know the difference between the two?

If there is a difference, then should I do SeqGrp games whilst I'm target drilling GrpSeq/InoSeq games as well?

Thanks!

Hey all, I attended a regular US university for undergrad, and that is the only school I attended after high school. I also attended a regular US high school and got a regular high school diploma. I took a couple of AP classes and got college credit for them.

I submitted my transcript to CAS, and I got an email titled "LSDAS Notice of Unacknowledged Transcript" saying that I did not disclose an institution and listed it as an "Unknown School".

I began questioning myself if I had unknowingly attended another school, but then I realized about my AP credits. So I looked it up on reddit and people said you don't have to submit high school transcripts because college credits are received through AP exam scores, not grades from high school. So I emailed LSAC, and their response felt a bit automated, but they said "The law schools wish to see the original transcript from every institution that granted you college credits, including college credits earned in high school, credits transferred to your degree-granting school, and credits that may not be part of the degree you earned."

I have nothing to hide on my high school transcript, but the transcript sending service doesn't include LSAC, and LSAC also doesn't acknowledge my high school as an institution. And I agree with the reddit comments that my high school transcript would not show the AP credits I received.

Does anybody know if it's normal for AP credits to cause this kind of mess?

Hello everyone. I’m a bit confused on how I should be doing my PTs and I’m hoping someone can clear up my confusion. So, up until this point I’ve been doing PTs without checking off the “simulate modern” box on the PTs. Should I be doing these PTs with the modern option enabled? In addition, does simulating modern tests still include 4 sections and only scores 3 of them or will it only include 3 sections all of which are scored? Thanks!

Hey!

So ive been attempting to study for the LSAT for god knows how many years now. I think I am finally ready to give it my all.

I was wondering if there are people here who have worked full time and also studied. How did you guys manage? I realize its so much harder because you spend 9-5:30pm working then studying.

If you have, can you explain how you did it and how many months it took you? Also, if you dont mind-- do you mind sharing your score? I got 148 on my practice test.

Thanks!!

Hi guys,

Although I do have a relatively short study window (4 and a half months), my suggested study schedule from October and beyond consists only of practice tests. Is this normal?

Hi everyone! I hope all is well. Today I'm writing this thread looking for insights on how to approach my LSAT study. First, I think it's essential that you know I'm an incoming sophomore undergraduate student, so I still have plenty of time before I graduate college; however, I do want to spend my time wisely and begin prep already. Right now, I'm working my way up the core curriculum (at the moment still strengthening questions of logical reasoning). So my question is: should I do the whole curriculum before tackling practice tests (I only did one experimental prep test, and my score was 135)? I'm also unsure if I should do all the problem sets, considering they are real LSAT questions, and I don't know how I feel about wasting them. Does anybody have any tips for beginners in LSAT prep? Any tutor recommendations? How early should I get a tutor? As I work my way up the core curriculum or once I'm done with it?

Note: I'm shooting for a 175+

Any insights would be highly appreciated.

Thanks, 7Sage community.

Hey all was reviewing some MC conclusion questions and stumbled upon 2 structurally similar stimuli in exam PT 85 S2 10 and PT 73 S4 11. At a glance they are near identical with a claim endorsed by the author, followed by an opponent view which is then rebutted by the author. I find it hard to distinguish how the MC in 73 would be the rebbutle versus how 85 would say the MC is the original claim up top.

I feel like the answer and difference to this question has to do with how in 85 all premises and such would link back to the first sentence as the main conclusion whereas in 73, the first sentence is unsupported as nothing suggests that the company will develop weaknesses. However, it's kind of challenging to internalize that difference, everyway I view one of them I could easily apply to the other. Wonder what the rest of you guys think.

I have linked my LSAC account to my 7sage account already, but every time I attempt to take a PT the website tells me to link my account, when I click the link, I get a message saying "This coach is already assigned to this user". I only have one 7sage account, please advise.

The law school I try to apply is not T14, just local law school. I took the LSAT in August, but it seems like not very good. I'm thinking of taking LSAT in October, and the score will be released around Nov 2. I really need the scholarship, it is too late?

If my score from August is over the 75 percentile of the scores of the applicants, should I go ahead to apply with this score in order to increase my chance of getting scholarship? Or should I wait until November 2?

Really need advice.

Hey 7Sage Community,

I'm planning on taking the LSAT this upcoming November, and am applying for additional time. I am doing so because I have both (1) ADHD, (2) an Astigmatism, and (3) a Convergence disorder. I imagine ADHD doesn't require much explanation, but the two other disorders are both eye disorders which make reading for long periods of time or at great speeds extremely difficult. As a result of these two disorders, I primarily read through audiobooks and filter all my University reading through text-to-speech software.

For all three of these disorders, I have records of professional diagnosis, supporting documentation, treatment by the in-staff doctors at Notre Dame, and a record of prior accommodation on my ACTs.

I'm wondering about two things:

What are the odds that my accommodations will be approved? I'm asking for 50% extra time. I imagine the LSAT is understandably diligent when it comes to verifying this sort of stuff (because the incentive to bullshit is immense), but I have all the necessary documents proving my conditions. I want to hear about other people's experiences because I want to know whether I should plan on practicing with the 50% additional time.

Is there anything I can do to more accurately communicate the nature of these disabilities? Is there anything that in the past has been successful for accommodation approval?
