What time will scheduling open on October 27th for the November test?

Can somebody explain (a) how to find the right answer choice for these questions and (b) dumb down how to do these questions, struggling heavily with getting the right answer choice

Recently I've taken to honing my skills with Logic Games. I see people posting everywhere that LG is maybe the most difficult, but the easiest to improve on. I've been testing on LG between -17 to -11, with my best being -7.

I know these aren't necessarily the worst scores but paired with my other sections it's far from where I want it to be.

When I do a BR, I find that it takes me almost half of the recommended time to set up my diagram, yet I consistently take too long on the questions. I don't know what else I should be doing during that set-up portion of the game. I diagram the rules into a visual notation (even labeling each notation to the rule it represents), then I try to make inferences.

So what am I doing wrong? It's not like this is part of my unique process where I budget time differently. Am I not making enough inferences? Should I be doing something different when I make my master diagram? I'm open to any ideas or advice!

In the meantime, I plan to study with the PowerScore Logic Games Bible. I've heard good things about its influence on LG performance. Wish me luck!

I originally took the November 2021 LSAT and got into a decent university in Boston but am now taking a gap year with a very laid-back job that gives me the opportunity to study while being paid at the same time. I got a 156 before and want to get into the mid-high 160s at least. I've only done self-study methods and didn't use any group(s) or things like this before so this would be a good opportunity that I want to try! Please let me know if interested.

Idk if people who have scored high (170+) can attest to this, but I'm starting to realize that a key factor in this test is also understanding the answer choices just as much as you understand the stimulus/passage especially with tricky questions. This test is not easy! These testmakers are smart and know how to throw us off with questions that don't fit into the cookie cutter mold, while also making really appealing wrong answer choices. I just took a practice test and for many of the questions I fell for their tricks, while also not taking enough time to read each answer choice and fully absorb what it is saying in relation to the stimulus/passage. Not sure if many of you have also realized this, but this is just a tip for anyone who doesn't have a problem understanding the stimulus or passage but is still getting wrong answers. Pay attention to the mental steps you go through when evaluating the answer choices.

Goodluck to everyone!

So I missed my Oct test, (my fault PST vs CST) I total miss read the time and when I logged in it was too late.What is the consequences on my application for missing an exam? I will schedule to take it on January again.

In the last 2 weeks I've taken 5 PT. 149 was two weeks ago. I took one yesterday and got a 169. I'm taking the LSAT tomorrow and absolutely freaking out now. My higher scores are the modern tests vs the old test. Maybe this is why? Any last minute help?

I've been an officer in the Marine Corps for nearly a decade and I want to make it clear that I am a more disciplined and capable student than I was when I was an immature 21 year old. Cum uGPA of 3.51 and an LSAT of 169. I took several practice LSATs in the mid-high 170s, but on test day I panicked when I realized my phone was on in the background. Anyway, would a LSAT/GPA addendum for schools like Yale be worthwhile? I studied for the LSAT while deployed to the middle east and then while working 60+ hours as an attack helicopter pilot stateside. I don't want to sound whiny, but I do want to instill confidence in the admissions team that I am more capable than my numbers report.

I have an earlier LSAT score of 167. I took the October LSAT yesterday but am afraid it's still not higher than 167. Should I wait to submit app if I plan to take the November test? I'm thinking of submitting app with the 167 score (or a higher score of my October test) in early November, or wait until my November test score comes out. My target is to apply for the Top 30.

Hi everyone! I just finished the exam, but experienced losing my mouse/typing capabilities during the first 10 mins. It was unfortunate timing and I couldn't use the ctrl f function in the passage. It had me really flustered and I waited to finish the passage by using touch screen before notifying the proctor of my technical issues. ProctorU had to restart my computer but to say I was sidetracked is an understatement. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there anything that can be done?

Hey guys,

If you took the October 2022 test today, congratulations you did it! If you’re taking it tomorrow like me, get your proper rest and trust your intuition. Many of us having been prepping for months and are sure we’re gonna achieve our target score, some of us are anxious, and some of us are just hoping for the best tomorrow (nervous laughter).

In the midst of the stress of the LSAT, I thought I would create this post to lighten the nerves for tomorrow. What is your favorite snack and what will you be eating during your 10min break? Comment down below! Best of luck to everyone :)

Ive tried it all writing down notes while reading, to just reading i do horribly in this section. does anyone have any advice on how to improve?

As an MSS, the correct answer choice struck me as too strong--- where do we see something about preference in the stimulus?

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

30 year-old here, graduated college 8 years ago. Splitter with 174 LSAT, 3.61 CAS GPA. Nothing happened to me while I was in school, but it was a long time ago and I don't think my GPA reflects where I'm at now.

Is it appropriate to write a short (few sentences) addendum saying the above? Or will it be obvious to admissions officers that my undergrad was a while ago and the addendum would be an annoyance?

Thanks 7sage community!

When should I diagram while doing LR? I always read it, think about it, take an answer choice, and get it wrong. Didn't even realize that I need to diagram until I watch the explanation. Even when I diagram, it takes me about 1 minute to think and realize I do need to do it for this question, but it'll take me about 2-3 minutes (and I may get it wrong). I think I should know when to diagram so as to decide whether to do it or flag and skip...

I saw this for October and seeing how November is a month out I thought I would put it out now. I am hoping to create this tread for people to post positive messages for those taking the November 2022 LSAT.

It could be anything from memes to just to highly optimistic predictions (ex. everyone will get a 180). Seeing how November is also generally the last LSAT people take for the Fall 2023 application cycle, I also want this to be a thing that people can go to during times of stress and get positive vibes.

So speak your wishes to the universe, and let us as a community help keep each other motivated and let each other know that we each have a community of supporters during this stressful and anxiety provoking test.

I'm taking the LSAT in 2 days and yet I am not feeling nervous. It hasn't even registered that I am taking the LSAT, it just feels like I am taking any other practice test. I started RC section on PT 88 yesterday but midway through I just stopped. Usually, when I start a section I complete I never just stop. What can I do to re-energize myself? It's not a bad thing that I'm viewing this as any other test because that may actually help to mitigate anxiety the day of but the lack of energy is a problem. Any thoughts?

Hey, so I just wrote my written section, and I hadn't even thought about this as something that could happen, but my Grammarly was on and making suggestions. I ignored it as best as I could, but I was FREAKING OUT. Will my writing sample get rejected???

I'm about to take my first diagnostic PT. Is there a primer on the test mechanics? For example, should I have a pencil and paper? In the 7Sage testing environment, will it be obvious how to circle question numbers or strike through wrong answers?

Hey guys I know this must be a common experience to many test takers, that if we encounter a difficult question/passage, especially towards the beginning of a section (so that that question is supposed to be relatively easy), we just freak out and can't think straight for the rest of the section, ending up in a terrible score. Do anyone has any suggestion when it comes to this kind of situation?

Hey everyone!

I've read up on holds and I know I shouldn't be freaking out but that's not likely to happen anytime soon.

I received notification today from one of the schools I applied to that my application is on hold. Specifically that "the Committee is unable to reach a final decision on your application. A file placed on hold will undergo a second review by our Admissions Committee. They decide to admit, deny, or waitlist the applicant at that time."

I applied at the very beginning of September if that helps out some context.

What has me really nervous is that this school is one of my safety schools. Specifically it is the safety to my safety schools. So if they couldn't come to a decision the first time around I'm worried that maybe I set my sights way too high. But at the same time I'm wondering if it is possible that the email they sent is just a template and it says the same thing regardless of the hold reason? I'm not sure how to feel about this one.

Any insight?

So I'm coming up on finishing the CC, and I just wanted to put this out there to see if anyone can relate. To the people who post their scores in the comment section under CC problem set videos - I have been engaged in a bitter, intense rivalry with you ever since the beginning of my LSAT journey. Seriously, I've waged war on most, if not all score posters in the CC. My routine is as follows: click on a new problem set, scroll to the comments, recognize challengers ("6/6 with 2 minutes to go!") and set my sights at achieving victory over these foes at all costs. Whether by score or by time, there was never an opponent too weak or too strong worthy of my consideration for battle.

There are some commenters I have truly proven my worth over, while others remain elusive. There are some commenters who've been engaged in battle with me since the very first LR sets - and whom I remain in mortal combat with to this very day. The battles along the way can only be described as epic: midnight celebrations/war parades over achieving a 14/14 score over a formidable opponent's 13/14 will forever be some of my proudest moments. There have been times where I've lost myself in the true goal of this all (going to law school) and have entered this truly unique mental state - one which I imagine must be similar to the feeling achieved by mankind's greatest warriors when they're in the heart of battle.

Despite the fierce warfare, it is true that I remain absolutely indebted to these commenters for giving me the drive and motivation to get this far into my LSAT journey. By serving as my adversaries, you have truly pushed me beyond my limits. So, to the commenters who post their problem set scores, I thank you. Best of luck to everyone in their studies.
