What materials can you use on the (online/in-person) LSAT?

Can you use both pen/pencil if you like?

How many sheets of scratch paper can you have?

Can I use ear plugs to block noise?

Please try to specify the criteria for online vs in-person LSAT (if there are any differences).

Any official sources to confirm?

Thank you.

Are the future LSAT's going to be online still? Or will they transition back to pen & paper?

This site (https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-dates-deadlines/june-2022-lsat) states that LSAT's are online through June 2022. What about after June?

Any official sources to confirm?

I am planning on taking the August 12th exam, how many more tests should I take?

We are currently accepting applications for the 2022 7K scholarship! At 7Sage, our mission is to make legal education accessible, but talk is cheap and school is expensive. We’re putting our money where our mouth is and offering a series of awards to seven aspiring law students. Our goal is to support aspiring lawyers who will work toward a more just future and to help increase diversity at top law schools. At least half of the awards will go to under-represented minorities.

Here’s the full schedule of awards:

One winner

One first runner-up

Two second runners-up

Two third runners-up

One fourth runner-up

Apply by July 1. Full details and this year's application are available here: https://classic.7sage.com/7k-scholarship/.

Is there a way to retake PTs on the 7sage module without erasing previous test taking results?

Thanks!

This may be a stupid question, I don't spend a lot of time in the discussions. But, for example, 7Sage lists my odds of being admitted to CU-Boulder with my GPA and predicted LSAT score at 79%, while the LSAC version lists just 42%. That's a huge difference. It looks like the data for 7Sage may be a little older, but that still seems like a steep drop-off. Any ideas?

7Sagers!

Hi everyone,

So I have a dilemma -- I graduated with my bachelor in July 2021. I am a non-traditional student (Finance major, started freshman year of college in 2011 and was on and off in school for about decade).

I recently decided I want to apply to law school (something I have been considering for a year or two now). Problem is, I have a low uGPA (according to LSAC). They recalculated my GPA to 2.79 (ouch). It is not what I graduated with, but due to some irresponsible early years in college, the grades screwed me. This was when I decided I wanted to be a mathematical sciences major at one point in 2012-2014, the classes did not go well.

I have NOT taken the LSAT yet, and I am scheduled for the June 2022 test.

I have always been a good standardized test taker (SAT: 1860/2400 at the time, ACT: 25 (ish), ASVAB: 97 -- (Note: did not go to military but took the test because I wanted to go at one point). I do realize, however, that the LSAT is a different beast. Not sure how I am going to do, since I opted NOT to take a diagnostic, I do not see the point personally other than potentially stressing myself out.

My target school is Florida International University (T100 school). It is somewhat local for me and they are one of the only law schools in the area with a part time program other than Nova Southeastern University (which is ranked considerably lower). I am trying to go for their part time program. I am a mom (had my son in February 2020) and it just works better for me and my life.

Any advice? I am so nervous. What type of score do you think I would need to be considered competitive?

ANY words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. This whole thing is causing me anxiety lol.

Thanks.

where can I find a lesson on the difference between these two question types?

update: it was just for the LSAT writing portion, i misread :)

Hello everyone, I'm writing in June and just got an email that had a section discussing how physical scratch paper is not allowed and that the LSAC has a digital scratch paper section to type notes. I'm honestly really worried because I've been doing LG all by hand and not sure how well this will translate to the online interface...

I have dumb question that I unfortunately don't know the answer to. I am taking the lsat in either September or October. So I was wondering should I complete the whole course before I take the lsat for the first time, or should I only complete part of the course? I'm nervous that I'm going to run out of pt.

Hello,

I need some advice. I am an international student who is going through a hard time getting my transcript processed. LSAC CAS keeps rejecting my academic records without a proper explanation. Even though, I email them back, I don’t get a response. Next, I end up calling representatives and they keep giving me wrong information. As a result, I wasted a lot of money, effort and time. This is not acceptable. I am extremely stressed because of the negligence of LSAC. I don’t want to keep dealing with inefficient LSAC workers. I am missing deadlines of the universities that I wanted to apply.

If there’s some who had the same issue. Can you please tell me how did you resolve an issue? How can I make LSAC take responsibility for their actions?

I forgot my password, so I had to reset it. Now every time I try to use the new password it says login failed and it's locked me out for 20 minutes two times now. #help

Hello! I started studying for the LSAT March of 2021 and took it twice in August 2021 and November 2021 (had not used 7Sage to prepare). Both times, I experienced something strange with the LR section: it was as if I had never seen the section. I wasn't able to process the words or make sense of the questions or able to see the patterns associated with the question types (as I usually am during studying and practice tests). The first time around, I thought this may be happening because I am not as prepared as I should be but the second time, I felt prepared. I have been following the Core Curriculum and it has helped me tremendously. My PTs after starting the CC have been 166 and 163 respectively (as opposed to my 158 official score both times). I will be taking the test September 2022 so I have a solid 3 months to reach my goal of 172+ but I am worried about experiencing what I did for the LR section my previous two administrations. What do you think this could be and how can I ensure that this doesn't happen again during my September test? Looking forward to your response, thank you!

I was doing some LR drills, and Q26 on PT 6 S3 felt like I just needed prior knowledge to answer the question successfully. I feel like this is what catches me up on a lot of questions that are rated as max difficulty. I really struggle with the stimulus content and question wording and it just feels impossible to answer. Has anyone done this question specifically and could give me a breakdown of how they came to the right answer? Or just general tips for handling an extra wordy stimulus?

Hi I’m setting up a discord study group. Comment down below if you’re interested.

I took the LSAT in 2018 and scored a 167. I plan to take a diagnostic test tomorrow to see where I stand now. If I score 160+ in my diagnostic test, would 2.5 months be enough time to study to take LSAT in August and complete the 7sage curriculum? According to the study schedule generator, I would have to study 20-25 hours per week starting today to ensure I take at least 6 PTs by the August 2022 LSAT.

Thank you!

I was trying to make a problem set on here using questions I got wrong on various preptests in Lawhub, but when I went to add PT 62, S2, Q18 (which in Lawhub is a SA question re: planets/solar system) it pulled up a completely different question (MBF question re: computer programming). is there a reason and/or a solution? thank youuu

I am really struggling with reading comprehension! Do you guys have any tutors you would recommend? Really appreciate it! Thank you.

Is there a way to filter my analytics priority type questions, such as NA type, and filter out all the ones missed in LR and create a problem set to drill those questions?

Hey there,

First off all, how's your day going? I find that we all are so rushed to be hyper-productive we have a tendency to forget to check in with each other. So please do comment below or reach out if you want to have a casual conversation.

I'm writing this with an aimed target audience: Those that are carrying 100 responsibilities on their shoulders without the world really knowing. I'm sure a lot of you are lurking in the background, and that is perfectly fine. I might be wrong (hopefully) but I would guess that a big chunk of LSAT test takers are people with big dreams that come with big responsibilities and draining commitments. We commit to a lot of long hours of prep, heavy study schedules, and coffee. Don't get me wrong, I thrive on coffee and stress. Achieving what I set out for myself is what fuels me everyday and makes me happy but it isn't the easiest.

It is even harder when you have 'life things' lurking in the background. With a full-time job, I struggle with major anxiety everyday. I question if I am putting enough time into my law school dream, if I am studying enough for the LSAT. Study sessions slowly get harder and harder. It's not the easiest getting home after 9+ hours of work and spending another 3 studying. But, I promise myself it will be worth it.

I write this with one goal: To remind you (those who got this far into reading my overly lengthy post) that you are not alone. Somedays, you will see tremendous improvement in your prep and will get very happy. Other days, you will have a bad PT day, you might not be as happy but you must remind yourself that you are achieving and progressing nevertheless. Even with a bad PT score, you have the chance to see how the test tricked you and learn from it. At the end of the day, remember that the LSAT is just a game: You are just trying to find ways to trick it, as much as it is trying to trick you. You want to study the LSAT to a point where you stop falling in all the potholes the test takers hide within the test.

Regardless of all that, you just prepping for the test is an achievement of its own. It's not easy to commit to studying, and you are finding ways to do it. Prepping for the LSAT is no easy task, and can make you feel lonely and overly stressed, so please reach out to anyone whenever needed. Myself included. We are all here to see each other achieve, and screw over the LSAT as hard as it is screwing us over some days.

You have a great day, and congrats for making it this far.

F:)

Comment if interested in drilling sections together over Zoom or something! My range is consistently 173-177 but I'm starting to feel a lil burnout so would love a study partner

Hello 7 Sage Community,

Does anyone know where I can look for outside scholarships for law school? I will be an incoming law student this Fall.

Thank you and best of luck.
