Hey everyone,

As you all know, applications for Fall '22 have opened in the beginning of September. I plan on taking my LSAT in November and sending in my applications once I receive the score. However, is it possible to send in the application without my LSAT score? If its possible, is this recommended? What do you guys think? Should I wait for my LSAT score before sending in my applications or go ahead and submit the applications now and my LSAT score will automatically be sent when I take it.

Ty all!

Dear all,

Might anyone have advice on sitting for the October LSAT in Asia at a timeslot outside the timings offered?

The current timings take place from 11pm to 5.30am, which are probably the most unearthly hours to take a test.

I've contacted LSAC but they've asked me to reach out to ProctorU instead. Was thinking of asking them on Monday, but can anyone share their experiences and suggestions on what might be done?

The video explanation was pretty terrible for this one. He really brushes over why answer choice B is correct. Can someone elaborate? Surely the profits of the lightbulb are relevant to the argument that people should change the type of lightbulbs they use, right?

I have a question on interpreting this point:

At least two compositions are performed either after F and before R, or after R and before F.

I think normally the LSAT is going for F-X-X-R or R-X-X-F (with min 2-X) but being extra cautious in doing this problem I also included a possibility of X-X-R-F-X-X and X-X-F-R-X-X since it doesn't indicate the two compositions must be the same nor must they be between them. Is this incorrect to interpret it this way? Is it safe to assume it will ways be referring to just the first set ups? (F-X-X-R)

Hi!

I am taking my first test in October and I am currently scoring where I want to score.. but should I register for the November LSAT just in case I don't score in my target? Or should I register for the January one so its not too rushed. I dont want to waste a take.

I live in Canada, so the application is different than in the US. The schools I am applying to still take the January LSAT.

Thanks!

So, I've always gone about LR in a kind of unstructured way, I've never formally studied for it and reliably go about -2 to -4 since my diagnostic. I don't actively think about LR in a technical way, like trying to identifying premises and conclusions, highlighting stuff, mapping out lawgic, thinking about trigger words and question types etc. I've continued to depend on a formless sort of instinct for what is right and wrong. I'm sure some of these considerations operate at the back of my mind, but it's nothing deliberate. Although this has served me well until now, as the test approaches I feel doubts about the sustainability of this approach. I feel like even if a resource doesn't improve my scoring range, devoting some time to seriously studying LR would salve my fears and firm up my confidence for the test.

I have Powerscore, the Trainer and naturally 7Sage. What I'm curious about is the Loophole. Do you guy's think it's worth buying that getting through before the November LSAT in my situation? Or any other resource with the Nov test in mind? LG is still my weakest section and I've been grinding it for the past month.

I have been studying for the LSAT for the past couple of months. I'm looking for someone who's down to take an LR section and talk through questions together. I prefer a West coast person since that would make scheduling sessions easier. Every week we would meet twice (ideally Wednesday/Thursday) mornings. I can do zoom, and if you are in Southern California (SD area), we can also meet in person. PM me if you are serious about making a commitment twice a week and improving our scores together :)

Hi so I’m currently planning on taking the LSAT in November and plan to retake in January as well and I have already been approved for my accommodations which is great. The only problem is that I originally was doing a different prep course and it started out very well but started to feel like I was wasting my time and not getting anywhere so I stopped that bought a couple of power books and have been reading those. They definitely are helping but I just felt I needed more direction and kept hearing good things about 7Sage so I bought it to give it a shot. I was wondering whether you think it’s best to follow the sage outline or just jump around and play around with the system

If I upload my transcripts to LSAC, purchase a CAS account, fill out applications etc, and decide to apply next cycle as opposed to this, will I need to repeat this entire effort or only parts of it?

So I wrote the LSAT for the first time in June and cancelled my score because I scored way lower than I expected. I'm currently registered for the October LSAT and my score is kind of where I want it. I'm kind of stressed about taking the test because I don't know if I can see my score and cancel it if I don't like it. Is that just something they offer for your first test? Part of me wants to move my test to November but another part of me thinks I'm just freaking out because of my anxiety. If I can see my score, I'm thinking of registering for the November test and then deciding whether or not I want to write it after viewing my score. Otherwise I might just move it to November. Help.

I'm curious -- for those who have already taken the virtual LSAT -- what device did you use? (i.e., 13" Macbook, 16" Macbook) I have been using a 27" Mac desktop but I'll be taking the LSAT from a hotel and am not sure bringing the desktop will be practical (although it's a possibility).

My laptop is seriously outdated so I'll need to purchase another but I'm kind of freaking out about screen size?

If anyone can help, please reply to this thread with your device and what you liked/disliked about your LSAT experience!

October test is 2 weeks away! Just wanted to say you're doing great. You got this. We've studied more than we maybe even thought possible. Keep pushing through these next couple weeks. If you're anything like me, you might be just a bit tired (turns out, working full-time and studying is not the most relaxing combo anyone ever created). Keep getting your reps in for the subjects you need to practice. We've got the knowledge. We've got the repetitions. Excited to see the payoff. If you have any encouraging words for your fellow October test takers, post them below!

Hi guys. I have been hesitant to post my story because I am always super hard on myself and didn't wanna share this but I thought it could be beneficial. I started my LSAT journey 7 months ago, but struggle with severe test anxiety and just general confidence issues. I had been PT-ing in the 160s prior to my August LSAT, but took August and got the lowest score I've ever gotten, even lower than my diagnostic. I had a panic attack during logic games and kind of lost it all. Today, I am preparing for October and I have gotten PT's of 168,169,166,170,171. I write all of this to let you guys know that it is possible, even if you don't think it is. You just have to keep going. Even now, I hesitant to post this because my brain is like, "Will I replicate this for October?" But if anyone needs a push to keep going, you can. My PTs are already 10 points higher than my August score and it's only been a couple weeks. You have it in you, just believe you do!

wanted to let anyone know that might've forgotten

Hi everyone,

I am interested in applying this cycle (Fall 2022) but not sure if it's too late already to do so? I am just getting started with studying for the LSAT. I work full time (40+ hours a week), and really have free time to study on weekends (Fridays included). Do you think I can still make the cut? Or should I just take my time and plan for next cycle? If you think this cycle is still realistically feasible - when would you recommend I take my LSAT(s)? I think November might be too close.

Thank you for any advice!

Looking to apply in the next 2 weeks, any help is duly appreciated. I am a first gen student with not much guidance. :)

Hello,

Before I starting my journey here on 7Sage, I was an educator. I tend to create visual/organized charts that can help me organize everything into smaller portions. I want to share this with you because I know some of you might be visual learners and instead of "flashcards" you're better at memorizing charts. For example: maybe you remember that sufficient condition is on the left side of the chart and under that left side you can "visualize" the keywords. On some of the charts, you'll see a picture/color that can help those who remember colors/shapes more than words. You can make a copy and make it your own.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if I made mistakes on any of the charts.

Hello all,

I am extremely frustrated with the education system. So, I am dyslexic (something that never goes away) and I wanted to apply for accommodation or modifications. I got all my paperwork together from public school records, when I got tested, the results, etc. LSAT said that I needed more and had to get retested in the lsat 5 years to see if “I was still dyslexic” Well… the test is $1,300+ and I can’t afford that.

I wanted to get your opinion. On my diversity statement I am explaining my dyslexia journey a bit. I wanted to add a short sentence pretty much saying, “Unfortunately, due to financial reasons I was not able to retest for dyslexia and got denied Accommodations for the LSAT” Because if I only say I am dyslexic, they’ll assume I did get Accommodations. Since,LSAC doesn’t release this info to law schools due to privacy for students with learning disabilities.

I am curious to learn what everyone else is doing to prepare themselves for the exam. Are you focusing on taking the most recent PTs and blind reviewing?

For those of you who have taken the test before, do you have any recommendations to really get in the exam mode?

I'm having trouble with these type of logical translation and mapping questions - could someone map out the conditional logic of the stimulus and how the AC fits as the NA?

Just thought I'd let you guys know that registration for time slots for the October LSAT is now open through your ProctorU account! Good luck!

Hi everyone!

Thank you for reaching out after my last post, it was incredibly helpful! I was wondering if anyone had advice for how to become more fluent in logic? I feel like I'm spending a lot of time thinking it over instead of it being natural. Did flashcards help anyone? Or was it more just heavy repetition of logical reasoning and then intense blind review? Thank you!

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before.

LR is my weakest section and I'm looking to compile LR questions I've got wrong on past PTs.

I know I can see all the questions I got wrong on PTs from the Analytics tool, but is there a way to put them into a problem set so I don't see the answer while I'm reviewing them?

Hello,

I'm taking the LSAT again after a break from studying. How can I delete where it shows how many times I've taken a prep test or problem set?

Hey everyone, I am new to 7sage. I briefly used it a while ago but I have been using a different platform, I had purchased a package and I have been studying for 4 months with that platform but I have not seen any significant improvement. I have seen improvement in my BR score to 160 but my timed tests remain in the 150s and I actually went down one point. I am inclined to stop using that other program and use 7sage instead given all the great testimonies and conversations I'm seeing here. My question is would this be more harmful for me to switch platforms when I've already started studying with that other program or should I switch if I am not seeing results? I'm not sure where to go from here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have not taken any official LSATs and my goal would be to get to the 170s.
