Just canceled my November LSAT. So relieved I don't need to take next week's LSAT since I haven't quite practiced after the October test. Should I write an addendum to explain this score increase? The core reason is just that I was in poor health condition last time when I took the test in August.
The title says it all.. I’m dejected, demotivated and so disappointed. Honestly I don’t even know what to say..
I had a monthly + live subscription that ends November 20,2022. However, I just downgraded to the monthly today but for some reason I can no longer access the live classes. I assumed that I had at least till November 20 to access these classes since I paid for a full month. Can you help me access the live classes till November 20, when the new monthly subscription is supposed to kick in. Thank you
Hi, I am finishing my law school list for application but worrying rather I am making my lists too unrealistically. Thus I am here to get some comments about it.
My list is mostly made out of the schools within T40 (i.e-BU, Minnesota, Norte Dame, GW, Iowa, W&M, Washington and Lee, BC, Fordham, UC Davis, UC Irvine). I am also planning to apply one school from low T-14 (maybe UCLA or Berkeley?) or Boston University (more likely) as my early decision. Here are my Stats:
Am I making the goal too high? Any suggestions about my list? I am welcoming any of your comments and recommendations!
After taking a preptest how do you review your wrong answers?
When would LSAC get rid of LG? Sometime in 2023?
Super nervous when that will happen.. If they get rid of LG it will significantly lower my score since helped me score better than other sections.. Did any of you guys hear about when exactly in 2023 it will happen?
I'm taking test in November (2nd test) but looking into 2023 test dates as well but I want to take it before the format changes. :(
Would the change become effective after August 2023?
Any thoughts will be appreciated!
Can we start register for the February test now?
Hi! I am taking the Nov LSAT next Friday and have a quick question about the Writing Sample. Although it opens in advance (this week), it's my understanding that I could take it after I take the MC exam (and they won't release my score until I've submitted). I've not started reviewing anything for the Writing part and my thinking is I'd rather do that right after the exam (within a couple of days) to give myself maximized time for final studying etc. Is there any issue with doing that? Thanks so much, so appreciated!
The video accompanying PT 73 S4 Q26 ruled out answer choice B because it included the conditional, "if."
Will any necessary assumption answer choice be wrong if that is the case?

Hello!
To all those who wrote the LSAT live on Proctor U,
did you download the Proctor U extension?
Context: I have the latest MacBook but when I do an equipment test on Proctor U, it shows some failures (for wifi speed and screen) and suggests to download the extension. I keep hearing its spyware and kills your computer settings...
Out of curiosity, do you guys warm up before a PT?
If so, what do you guys do for each section and how do you make your selection of questions?
For example, for LR do you choose random easy questions or are the questions selected for personal reasons (like the question reminds you of certain fundamentals or concepts)
It’s really difficult to highlight one single word on Lawhub.
I need to try couple times to get the word highlighted.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks.
Today I got an email (and I'm sure most people have as well), about the practice LSAT field study for the new alternatives to the logic games section that will be administered in December. I know LSAC announced that they are looking to announce the changes to LG sometime in 2023, but I was wondering if anyone knew specifically when these changes would be implemented? I'm shooting to take my LSAT sometime early in 2023 and I'm going to be really bummed if I'm studying LG for no reason right now.
How many timed sections should I take on each day ahead of the Nov test?
What is everyone else doing to prepare?
Hi everyone,
The LSAC has provided the following information about their upcoming LSAC Analytical Reasoning Field Study scheduled to take place December 16 and 17.
As part of the LSAC's ongoing efforts to improve the LSAT, they are researching alternative, equally valid ways to assess analytical reasoning (AR) skills (also known as Logic Games).This is a long-term research effort that they’ve been working on for several years and will continue for some time.
As part of this effort, the LSAC included a special research section in the June 2022 LSAT administration for some test takers. Building on that research, they will administer a three-section AR field study to several thousand volunteers.
Participation is open to anyone 18 years or older in the United States or Canada who has an LSAC.org account. This will include future and past test takers, as well as people who are considering taking the LSAT. The same terms and conditions apply as a regular LSAT administration.
The field study will be administered in the same live, remotely proctored format as a standard LSAT, using ProctorU and LawHub. The field study will consist of three sections: one section of traditional AR questions and two sections of questions that use alternative approaches to assess AR skills.
As an incentive for your participation, test takers will receive feedback on their performance on the traditional AR questions. Every study participant will receive a copy of the traditional AR section, the correct answers, and the answers they provided for each question. Upon completion of the LSAC AR Field Study, only the traditional AR section will be disclosed.
The data gathered in this study will enable the LSAC to continue its rigorous testing and analysis to ensure that potential new question types have the same reliability and predictive validity as current AR questions so that schools remain confident of the LSAT’s predictive value.
It is important to reiterate that there are no plans to change any part of the LSAT’s content in the near future. If and when the LSAC decides to incorporate any new question types into the actual LSAT, they will provide lengthy advance notice, practice questions, and explanatory materials prior to LSAC using any new question type in a scored section of the LSAT.
You can sign up for the LSAC Analytical Reasoning Field Study here.
The supreme court might rule on affirmative action in the next couple of weeks. If it gets eliminated would that change anything for law school applications?
Anyone else super nervous? I feel like I probably scored right at the borderline of the score margin I want and I’m losing my mind. Either went really well or will have to cram for the November test, all I can think about right now.
What is the best PT to take in the week of the November LSAT? (Only taking 1) Preferably something "easy" in the 80s.
Explanation?
trying to get a situated schedule for the last 2 weeks
I've a little bit of an odd question and hope the 7Sage community has some informed opinions on that. I've spent years in legal academia and compiled a list of roughly 20 publications in journals, law reviews, and textbooks. This comes in addition to a number of talks I gave at various law schools and memberships in professional organizations. I'm applying to law school because I want to change sides: from academia to practice.
Do you think I should include a comprehensive list of publications, talks, and professional memberships as an addendum? I somehow feel like it's relevant and it definitely wouldn't fit below my resume.
Thanks for your advice!
Is the crystal ball prediction out?
How many practice tests should one take in a week?
Hi everyone! I am going to be taking the Nov 2022 LSAT and I really want to drill down on fool proofing LG. I was wondering how to go about this. Should I go back to each PT and do all 4 games timed? then BR? then if I get even -1, do that certain game 10 times? I am not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to fool proof?
Thank you :)
I am taking the November 2022 LSAT. I took the LSAT twice already. I scored a 152 the first time, I went to retake a few months later and scored a 150. I was devastated and I didn’t know what to do. I gave up my law school dreams for a few years and decided to pick it up in January. After months of grinding back at the start of core curriculum again, I broke 160 in august, and hovered at 158-161 for a few months, after PT91 today I broke 165! Improving is possible, stay on your grind.
