LSAT retest

Hi,

I took the LSAT today and had technical difficulties, therefore I was granted a retest. This was my first time taking the LSAT so I purchased Score Preview. According to LSAC, I cannot use Score Preview again since I am technically not a first time test taker.

Will I be able to see my score if I opt for the retest?

If I cancel my score and take the next offered LSAT will I be able to see my previous score and use Score Preview if necessary.

Lastly, as score preview cancellations counts as candidate cancel - do cancelations and retest count the original cancelled test as candidate cancel, or show no record of it? ... Will the test I took today be notated as cancelled, if I opt for the retest?

What do you think my best course of action is given that I have Score Preview? - Im thinking opt for retest since the technical issues definitely affected my score.

Thanks so much.

I am at the point where I can set up the games well with my inferences and get through the questions and rarely miss, but I'm spending a lot of time doing so. I usually miss a whole game when I am doing timed sessions. Any advice on speeding up on my set up?

RC Question Please Help?

I heard that literary devices were not tested on the LSAT and not to worry about high level advanced vocabulary.

However, I was reading a study guide that gave an explanation of author's attitude and tone by way of a literary device for which I had to look up the meaning.

I was not an English or Philosophy major. The high level vocabulary and metaphors are destroying my progress and success. I am able to handle/understand the context cues as per science and legal jargon, but it's the thousands of other words that concern me. Even for words that I thought I was familiar with, the connotations flip and throw me for a loop.

Any suggestions please......?????

Has anyone done this PT and have insight into how to solve this question? I understand why B is correct (the stimulus says that lemurs, which are lower primates, are the only primates indigenous to Madagascar), but I'm not sure why you cannot also infer A. The only living diurnal lower primates are certain species of lemurs, and higher primates evolved from a diurnal species of lower primate. Therefore, chimpanzee's, which are higher primates, evolved from lemurs.

WAIT, I get it. If the stimulus said that the only diurnal lower primates (DLP) EVER were lemurs, then A would be correct. But, it actually says the only living DLPs are lemurs. Therefore, there could have been some other DLP in the past that was not a lemur from which chimpanzees evolved. So we cannot properly infer A!

Posting in case anyone else needs an explanation because there are no official ones yet for this PT. Classic LSAT with the sneaky wording.

Hi all

I worked through the 7sage curriculum and saw a pretty huge score increase (143 diagnostic up to a high of 159, averaging high 150's now). Logical Reasoning is definitely my 'weak' point, especially factoring in there being two LR sections. I want to leave time to just do practice tests leading up to the exam. My question is, having done the LR portion of the curriculum in the summer, and starting out completely unfamiliar with the test, should I just go through the 7sage LR lessons again, or should I try out the Loophole? I really only have time for one.

Hello 7Sagers,

For those who have already tested, I hope you crushed!!

For those testing tomorrow and Sunday, a word of advice:

Have this page readily available in case your proctor is unaware of LSAC policy:

https://www.lsac.org/about/lsac-policies/lsac-candidate-agreement

My proctor disallowed my water bottle even though it met the specified requirements. Thankfully I had another one available that he deemed OK so I didn't have to get into it with him -- but looking back on it (hindsight's 20/20 of course), it would have been better to just show him the policy straight from LSAC and end the matter right there.

So this is not a bash on the proctor or anything -- they proctor a range of tests so it's completely understandable that they don't know every single LSAC rule -- but just a reminder to (politely) show them the reference if you have to and carry on smartly.

Hope this helps!

Should I take one more PT?

I am taking the test for the first time tomorrow at 2:40 and I'm not sure if I should take PT92+ just to have one more under my belt. Thoughts? Pros and Cons? Thank you all!! And good luck if you're taking November!

I saw a question on 90.1.16 that states "Which one of the following is a central purpose according to both passages?"

One answer choice reads "To trace the historical development of an important idea"

Could anyone point me to a specific passage for which this answer is applicable?

Thanks!

Hey guys! I'm taking the test tomorrow and I'm quite excited to take it (believe it or not). What are some ways to maintain positive energy levels and motivation going into the test and during? For me what has worked the most is quick meditation early in the morning and treating the test like four section tests instead of viewing it as a daunting 3-hour exam. The first time I took the exam I was blindsided by the order of the first section and that feeling lingered onto the remaining sections. NEVER AGAIN!

I'm going to do a few drills today and watch a movie and rest the remainder of the day.

Sending everyone taking the November test positive energy and manifesting that we all reach our goal scores! All the best :)

Hi Y'all, the title says it all. Where do I go from here? I thoroughly did my BR so I know my theoretical maximum is a 166. I'm curious as to how other folks use data from a PT and plan their week studying. Some takeaways I have so far:

  • I skipped, but I still spent way too long on a couple questions just to confirm my answer. Granted, this was my first LR section (let alone PT) in a while so perhaps the newness of everything had me fudged up.
  • Remember to breathe. I almost froze during one of the games and remembered to just keep it moving and disregard my negative emotions from the previous game. I think I need to practice completely moving on rather than lingering.
  • Anyway, any advice you have on how to use this data will be really appreciated.

    Hello,

    This seems like such a silly question but my last minute test anxiety is beginning to make me question everything. Are we allowed to use a wireless mouse connected to our computer on the day of the test...? 😅

    PT91

    For those who took PT91 as a PT, what did you think of the test? Easier, difficult? Would like to see what others think.

    This one is for the Admins of 7Sage. So, November 13 is when I'll be taking the LSAT for the very first time. After that, regardless of score I get, I want to take a break from the LSAT and studying. As such, I've cancelled my subscription to 7Sage as of today so I can take a break and save some money.

    However, I do plan on taking the test again if I don't get the score I wanted and would like to use 7Sage in March 2022 to study again. Will I have the option to pick things up where I left them or do I have to make a new account or something else entirely?
