I took the test on 12th. During my first LG section, when there was still around 8 mins left. I was doing the hardest duet one. Suddenly, the proctor shouted at me over the MIC that he wanted to see my ID. I didn't know what happened. I was so scared.
I took the ID and showed it to him.
He asked me: Are you done with your test yet? I said no(almost crying), "it's not, there is still eight minutes left."
He said: Oh, I thought you were done. Go ahead with your test.
He didn't press pause for the whole conversation, which cost me about two minutes, and I didn't solve this LG.
I am a non-native speaker, and the proctor also has strong accent. So I didn't understand her what he was requesting at the beginning.
And because of this incident I dumped the next session RC as well.(luckily someone told me the second section is experiment) I had very hard test make up. LG-RC(rap)-RC(Canadian writer- Paternalism) -LR
I've been thinking about it since Tuesday, it's so infuriating that I completed all the security testing before the exam. Have any of you guys ever been interrupted in the middle of an exam and asked to see the ID?
I quit my job on April and prepare it full time. This is my second lsat. I have been PTing consistently around 170. But I think I have been crewed up on this time.
Why why why? Why some random proctor can interrupted you on such a high stake test and bear almost no cost. Did he do that just for fun?
Hello,
Could anyone share the range of time slots? I just want to know the options beforehand!
Stay safe!
Can someone explain to why answer choice B is incorrect for PT 91 Logic Game #1 Question 2? Why is answer choice C correct for this question? Thank you.
Hey everyone,
I have just taken the October LSAT (hoping for the best!) and have been starting work on my law school applications. When deciding what to write about for my personal statement, I felt compelled to write about my experience going through school as somebody with a learning disability. I intend to talk about the challenges I faced due to my neurodiversity and the ways I overcame those obstacles.
I am a little concerned that because this is my topic of choice, law schools will assume I took the LSAT with accommodations. I did not, in part because I did not have documentation of my disability within the past five years and in part because I honestly felt I didn't need them to succeed. I know that law schools should not and probably do not judge test takers with accommodations any differently, however I have in the past experienced discrimination in academia due to my learning disabilities and am nervous about law schools somehow looking at my test score differently due to any possible assumptions.
My instinct tells me I'm being ridiculous and should let go of that fallacious assumption and have faith that the admission deans aren't biased and take comfort in the fact that if they were, that's not a school I'd want to go to anyways. However, another part of me feels that I should add an addendum specifying that I didn't have accommodations on the LSAT, maybe adding that it's in part because I didn't qualify for them due to a lack of recent documentation.
If anybody has advice, please share it. That said, the a central theme of my PS is getting past the shame and stigma associated with neurodiversity, so it does admittedly feel disingenuous to even be writing this post and I feel more inclined to simply not write this addendum and let things unfold naturally. Just curious to see if anybody else has a different perspective.
Hello 7sagers!
My LSAT study buddy and I BR together. However, we are both scoring around the same on our actual score (low-mid 150's) and BR (mid-high 160's). We are looking for someone who is scoring higher to BR with us. Any advice would be helpful.
PTing in low-mid 170s, trying to improve a 169 with focused BR and curve breaker question analysis (trying to break out of that 16high - 17low zone!). Currently taking about one full PT/day, was thinking of doing BR with some people twice a week? Let me know --
How do I find out what the answer is to this question? Where is the answer key?
I am thinking of starting a small (in-person) study group starting Nov. 1st
Time: Twice a week for 5 weeks
(Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) can be changed
Location: A study cafe in Seoul (the cost will be shared equally)
We will take "timed" practice tests 62-71 under simulated conditions (I find this to be the best practice)
Blind review will be done individually at home
Come back with additional questions and we will try to help ourselves by helping each other
Most importantly, I would like all of us to be a positive influence
providing good moral support as well as holding each other accountable throughout the treacherous LSAT journey
If anyone is interested, leave me a comment
And I will organize the Kakao Group Chat :)
I am an American studying abroad in the UK, and so I've just taken my exam today. I had wifi issues at my apartment and so I booked a public office space to take the exam. I was pumped and ready to take the exam. ProctorU began demanding I download software that is incompatible with my MacBook (i.e. a .exe file). I was unable to download it and thus unable to connect to a proctor and take my test. Of course I had to call customer service, and the lady ridiculed me and blamed the tech issues on me for being international. I was so flustered, anxious and frustrated. I was ultimately unable to use my own computer and had to borrow a Thinkpad from the public office. The keyboard was British and I spent so much time on my test simply trying to figure out where all of the keys were. On top of this I was too frustrated to focus for the first two sections - I have never felt so bad about a test as I do this one. The reading comp alone probably tanked my score because I kept having to re-read and hold back tears. During my 10 minute break I went to the restroom and cried. The last 2 sections went by okay, because I forced myself to pretend like I wasn't about to break down.
2 years of studying for the LSAT and website and tech issues might be the reason I don't get into the law school of my dreams.
I already filed a formal complaint to retake the exam, no guarantee that it will be granted though.
I am a wreck. I can't believe this is how test day went. 25 prep tests since June and I was averaging a 165 and sometimes higher, but because of what I went through this morning I wouldn't be surprised if I got a 150
Hey 7sagers!
A group of us are discussing how to represent the following sentence:
"A and B are exactly two spaces apart"
We can't seem to agree on how to represent it. There isn't a specific logic game example I can post that has this language but it came up because it was seen in this book "The LSAT Logic Puzzle Book: Are You Smarter than a Lawyer?"
Posting here for a fun discussion/debate and to hopefully take your mind off the October exam for those who took it! :)
Hi everyone,
I am mid20F looking for a study buddy for Jan 2022 LSAT. I've been studying on and off and finally decided to make a serious commitment for the next three months. I can study about 4-5 hrs/day and my goal is to bring my score up from 157 to mid 160s.
Because I have a job it would be difficult for me to find a regular time to study together + I live in Asia. I've heard of people studying together via SKYPE but that wouldn't work for me :( Rather than that, I'm looking for someone to hold accountable for each other in a slightly toned-down way. For example, sending texts of the day's progress, occasionally talking about LSAT, etc.
Anyone who's in a similar boat, pls send me a message!
How is this done why it is not. Option c
I got a weird email from Suffolk law school today telling me today was their deadline and I am super confused!!! Can anyone clarify? Did any one else get this email?
Hi everyone! I am trying to get as many eyes on my personal statement as possible! Who wants to swap?
I don't get why the games are difficult for me. I've done a lot of Sudoku in the past which is similar to the games, in terms of figuring out placements and sequences so I assumed Logic Games would be alike to that. Every time I do a logic game, I get an average score and understand the explanation but still do average on the next problem set. Does anyone have any tips for knocking these questions out?
How did I get this wrong? Is there a way something explains this to me?
Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"
I couldn't shake the thought off my mind that the conclusion is "matters pertaining to conservation of topsoil have been ignored for long". The given answer is E, which is a suggestion and I don't see how that's the conclusion. #help
Hi everyone! I have some free time and would love to provide some free tutoring. I have no official score yet but have been scoring high 160s/low 170s on recent PTs after receiving a diagnostic of 146 back in the beginning of the year. DM if you’re interested or have any questions, thanks!
Did you wait for the system to be restored and take the test on the original date of your exam, and reschedule afterwards?
Can someone please confirm if they were able to use mechanical pencils and lined paper? Or must I have blank paper and wooden pencils?
I can't download the LogMeIn file because .EXE won't download on Mac. Please help.
Hi friends, I see 7sage has the LSAT score simulator where you input the number of errors and get the LSAT score of the latest PrepTests. It then gives you a score probability. However, I've heard that the new curves are brutal, perhaps due to there being more applicants, to Flex, or even to people having more study-time.
With that in mind, is the 7sage predictor accurate? When it says "latest" PrepTests is it referring to the ones available on 7sage or to the actual ones dispensed by LSAC? The latest PT on 7sage is May 2020, so it is barely taking into account COVID Flex Tests. This could mean that the simulator is outdated and off by now since there's been a drastic increase in test-takers and good score since 2020.
I think it'd be good to know for many of us what actually constitutes a 170 this year. Is it -7 or -6 even?
Thank you!
Does anyone have recent experience with the experimental sections of the test? Are you able to tell which one it is?
Fam, can we just get that bread? Winner winner chicken dinner?
The LSAT is the easiest hard thing I've ever seen. It's literally reorienting my entire life and self-image. Holy quac-a-swolley.
The upside is that it transforms me into a monster that'll be equipped to respond to insecure mother fuckers who use dense and convoluted language. Instead of saying "I need to take a piss," the LSAT says "The human species' homeostatic process depends on metabolizing certain fluids and excreting them over the course of time. The metabolized fluids in your body cannot stay within the confines of your stomach linings, which requires an exit strategy via certain organs that vary by sex. I am in the point of the cycle where it needs release." Like b!tch. F(_)CK you. If ya gotta piss just say you gotta take a piss.
This test is simple but I just can't freaken crack it, but let's just get DAT BREAD. Don't succumb to this piece of plankton puke. Let's beat his ass!!
