I just finished taking a practice flex exam and I received a pretty low score. When I inputted the number of incorrect answers I received into score conversion statistics I received a way higher score and I was wondering why that is?

Does anyone else agree that the passages in test 92+ were quite difficult?

The heirloom and bankruptcy ones (passages one and three) contained difficult language that tried to trip you up; the questions weren't necessarily more difficult than average, but I would say these are reflective of the passages we'll see for the November test.

Hello 7Sage Community,

I already have an LSAT Writing on file, so my Nov score will not be held up from release. But my question is: will I still have the opportunity to take an additional LSAT writing (the one paired with my Nov test) AFTER LSAC releases my score? Or as soon as the score is released (b/c of my previous LSAT writing on file), will my option to take an additional one go away?

I understand the rules around not having any LSAT writing on file and how that relates to score release - so this question is not relating to that situation, but rather to the specific scenario described above.

Would appreciate any words of wisdom -- Happy studying!

I was at a peak of 165 about 3 weeks ago. I was originally signed up for the October test, but I didn't feel ready. I wish I would have kept it and then also signed up for November. Same amount of $$. Now I'm down at 155 the last three PTs I've done in the last five days. I was performing -3/-2 on LG and RC. Then this one I took today my LR was only -5, but LG and RC were the worse sections. I also felt really confident with both those sections. Only one passage stumped me. One game was tricky but I felt really good about all but two or three questions in those respective sessions. I've worked on LR more the last two weeks since it's my weakest area, and I've really only had time to tackle a few question types. I work full-time and just attended a funeral that I had to travel out-of-state for. I didn't expect to be learning a ton, but now the test is this Saturday, and I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Hope this post finds everyone well!

I have plateaued at the 158-160 range and am looking to jump to the mid-high 160s before the January test. I am averaging -7 on LR, -10 on LG, and -7 on RC. Any tips on what worked for you?

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I’ve noticed recently the more I practice LR questions in the morning, the better my performance is. For LG I can either do it in the morning or afternoon, and my performance doesn’t oscillate as much.

Has anyone else realized this for LR? If you haven’t, I suggest trying it because you may not be practicing at the optimum time.

Hey guys! I'm meeting with the senior dean of admission from William and Mary today and was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what I should ask. I have a list of questions about things I'm interested in (culture, clinics/programs, etc.), but if anyone has anything they think would be worth asking let me know. If you have a question of your own I will even ask it and get back to you with the answer.

Thanks!

Can anyone explain how it's B and not D

I broke it down like this

  • widespread--cause---writing bio to end
  • explanation
  • no revealing material unless password
  • I thought of it as MC for the end because it would justify why they did all this

    For Q8, I have difficulty deciding between B and C. I have some disagreement with some words in both of B and C, which makes it even harder to pick.

    Based on my notes, I wrote down the MP of Passage A as "Intro to market and advocate for its abilities to forecast and efficiency to learn."

    Mp of Passage B as "against to think market as too different from other polls. Fallible."

    However, it does not help much to answer Q8.

    (B) what can be learn from studying the movement of stock markets?

    (C) Can markets be used to elicit reliable information?

    For B, I understand that both passages discuss markets in general instead of stock markets. However, we do know the authors of both passages are mainly concern about what the movement of markets represent. For author A, the movement of a market forecasts, learns from collective wisdom. For author B, the movement of a market, the movement represents the populace opinion of a certain time period. But the main problem remains that they are not talking about stock markets, but markets in general.

    For C, the question is about markets in general, which is a correct description of both passages. And I am confident that author A agrees and mainly focuses on illustrating the fact that market can be use to elicit reliable information. However, I am not quite confident about what author B thinks. Author B says that market is more of a reflection of people's opinion of the time, which means that it can either be right or wrong. And she also says that market is fallible. But I would not say author B argues that markets can't be used to elicit reliable information? It is too strong for passage B in my opinion. But it did come out to be the correct answer choice. Please help me out with this.

    For Q22, I was completely lost after finishing reading the answer choices. I was attracted to D. Please help me with E!

    Thank you for reading my post and discuss the questions with me. These are the only two questions I got wrong in the section, so if you have any questions about the section, I am glad to help! Good luck!

    Hey everyone,

    Is there a deadline for completing the LSAT writing? Like can I do it after I take the test? Or do I need to get it done before test day? I know the LSAC wants me to complete it ASAP, but I'd rather not. Kind of rude of me I guess, but I'm just wondering if I could do it in the week after the test so I don't have to add any stress to my plate for this week (taking it Friday). Thank you for any info!

    I just finished my fifth PT and am really happy with how I'm progressing, but still have a lot of room for improvement. I've been diligently using my analytics to identify which content sections I need to review/what types of questions to drill, but am wondering if it's better to do my studying in sections (ex. do 5 days of RC, three days of MBT/MBF questions, 2 days of RRE questions, etc.) before my next PT (I've been taking one every two weeks), or jump around (RC one day, MBT/MBF the next, RRE the third day, LG the fourth, then back to RC, for ex.).

    Any ideas? I really want to study as efficiently as possible but am still not sure what works best for me.

    Hi everyone! I recently scored 169 (95th percentile) on the October lsat and my GPA is 3.8. I just got an email inviting me to apply from freaking Yale of all places. I know those are good credentials, but I was barely considering applying to the bottom of T14, so I was shocked to receive even a generic email from Yale. So, do we think that they might be widening up the applicant pool this year? Maybe we’ll end up having a lucky admissions cycle. What do you guys think?

    Hi Everyone!

    So I'm a bit confused on the scoring. I took PT 91 and PT 92.

    PT 91 I received a 54/75 which was a 158

    PT 92 I received a 53/75 and my score was a 159.

    How is this possible? I missed -10/RC and -9/LR on both, then one I missed 3 on LG and the other I missed 2. How did I get a higher score when I missed more questions??

    I took my diagnostic 3 months ago and got 151 for actual score, 164 for BR. Three months later, I have gotten through 35% of the material and decided to take my first PT. I was sure I'd score much higher than diagnostic because I was doing really well with LR and LG. However, I scored 150... literally one point lower than my diagnostic. I didn't even bother doing the BR because I was so depressed over the test.

    Even though I've gotten MUCH better at answering questions correctly, my timing has gotten MUCH worse. For example, in LG section I only had time to do 2 of the 4 games. For the games I did finish, I got nearly all the questions right. But of course that doesn't mean much when you're leaving half the questions blank. So why am I getting slower? I feel very demoralized right now..

    Hey! Looking for a weekly paid LSAT tutor. Does anyone have any recommendations? Am looking to take my test in January or February. Have been studying off and on the last few months, but would like to have some 1:1 assistance. Am in Washington D.C., so can do in-person, but am happy to do virtually as well!

    Hi everyone! I'm taking the November LSAT and am starting to think about all the little test-day details and how to deal with ProctorU.

    Does anyone know at what point we're allowed to wear ear plugs? I'm panicking because if I have to do it during test time, it would take up precious seconds!
