Hey guys,

The upcoming August LSAT is my first LSAT ever and while I'm almost mentally broke from the stress, I've been thinking about how the test will be administered online. So my understanding is that we sit in our own rooms (unless you have accommodation) and a proctor will identify your ID (which I assume we just hold up to the webcam?) then we have to show them a sweep of the room and table which is where I'm a little lost.

I'll be using a standard laptop camera which is incorporated on top of the screen, so do I just carry the laptop in awkward angles and do a little twirl? I feel like this is a little weird and time-consuming if everyone has to do it at the same time.

Also by proctor, does that mean everyone is assigned a human to check ID, table, room etc., or is this an automated message that just plays before the exam?

I'm so sorry if these are newbie questions that are already answered somewhere else online -- I couldn't find them on the LSAC website.

Any insight would help so much! Thank you in advance!

I was thinking of starting doing them as soon as I start the core curriculum on 7sage. However, I heard that it's usually recommended to alter the type of drills you're doing. For example, combining RC with LR, etc. Since the 7sage core curriculum is organized by the three sections, doing drills in parallel would mean separating the RC drills from LR and LG.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on best strategy :)

I am aiming to take the October LSAT and apply this upcoming cycle. I did not think too much about designing a law school list before because I wanted to focus on LSAT. But now I am a little nervous as the new application cycle is about to begin. Will it be too late to start preparing application materials besides recommendation letters after taking the October LSAT? How helpful could admission consulting be before having this October LSAT score on file?

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I hope everyone’s doing well and working hard towards their LSAT goal. :)

I’m looking for any study buddies or a group of people to help hold accountability. I’ve been trying to study for the LSAT for almost a year now, and I’m not making much headway. I’m really looking to bring my score up to the high 160s (the higher the better, truthfully), and I could use some help going over the material with someone. I work full time on the East coast though, so we’d likely have to meet virtually later in the evening. Please let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll message you privately! Thank you!!

I just took my first practice test on Lawhub since the actual test is only a little over a week away. I got a score lower than I've been getting and ran out of time on some sections which hasn't happened to me in a while. I'm hoping this is just because this was a new interface. Has anyone else had lower scores when adjusting from 7sage to lawhub?

I have been doing a combination of drills recently cover from accuracy to timing. For instance, one day I would do a group of medium level passages, timed and a timed LR section. The next day I would do some drills focus on techniques and accuracy. My drilling results is somewhat OK(-3/4 in LR and -4/5 in RC, and -2 in LG). But when I took PT yesterday my PT results was so much lower than my expedition(-6 in LR, -8in RC and -7 in LG). I feel my work throughout the week is not reflected. Any suggestions about what I should do?

Thanks!

So I got this question wrong under timed conditions (chose D), but then in blind review had an inkling that answer choice (E) was correct, even though I still couldn't completely rule out (D). Here was my blind review explanation:

(D) If the number of cops had increased, this at least seems like it would mitigate the reasoning used by the city official, because there were sufficient number of cops to deal with the population increases (according to experts). So what the citizen said was more substantiated, by this logic. I think so at least?

(E) So this is suggesting that the healthcare has improved a bunch, and the murder rate would have gone up even more drastically than the small pop increases, taking away the assumption that city official had made that the murder rate increased incrementally/steadily with population. I think this is the strongest counter to the city officials argument because it exposes the assumption/argument more, but I don't know why (D) is incorrect either, entirely.

Maybe (D) because more cops are not necessarily more equipped to deter violent crime, and what the city official says still stands, that the increase in pop is still a more relevant factor that the citizen is not considering. Maybe they weren't doing anything to deter violent crime before, and they are still not, and therefore what the citizen is saying is still incorrect, and what the city official is saying is still reasonable?

Please help me resolve/reconcile/explain why (D) is wrong and (E) is right, the right way!

Thanks! :)

So i've been studying for about 3-4 months. I'm consistently scoring in the low 160s but would like to break 170. Originally I struggled a lot with logic games so I worked hard on those but the last 3 weeks or so my test scores have gone down from my highest (166) because im missing 7-8 questions each on RC and LR. Originally I was missing far fewer on those sections and i'm feeling frustrated that my score in those sections has gotten worse. I know I can retake the test but any encouragement or advice? I'm particularly struggling on NA questions for LR and just not understanding passages in RC (i.e. I'll get every question right for one passage in RC and then four wrong in the next one). Idk what I'm asking for but any comments are appreciated!

Need a tutor for help with Logical Reasoning. Looking to do a 3-4 sessions a week. Plan on taking the November exam. Please contact me.

For anyone who has taken the lsat flex's recently, what pt do yall think they are more similar to? Ex: 60s,70s,80s? in LR, which question types are more popular?

For respectively the RC sections and the LR sections. For me they take up a lot of time but do help. I was wondering if people actually strictly follow these "tips" given by J.Y during real, timed full tests. Do you get faster at doing them after practicing?

In the last sentence of the stimulus, does "eliminate" mean completely removing ALL demeaning work, or only reducing the sum total of demeaning work? The last sentence says the robots will only "substitute one type of demeaning work for another" so is he arguing that the sum TOTAL of demeaning work will remain the same, even if we started using robots?

And isn't the author assuming that the engineer's job and "least expensive, least demanding" labor is "demeaning?" Why isn't that a flaw?

Problem sets and prep tests aren't loading. When I click on one, it shows nothing but the margins and the headings.

Hello :)

I have put aside one month of studying just to focus on taking practice exams. My question to some of you that have taken a large amount of test exams:

Personally, I am going to try and stick it through with the approach that 7sage has (preptests at the end). I used to try and take a preptest every week, but I felt it was useless if I had not learned and drilled ALL of the material needed. I always seemingly answered questions I had not studied and it just seemed counterintuitive.

I want which one do you think helps more and from personal experience, has helped scores increase.

It seems a lot harder to not go to the AC that you remember just because you have memorized it and not because you know the inferences when you repeat the question so how do you repeat without doing that (or should you)? Additionally, I read somewhere about doing parallel arguments during blind review. Can someone give me an example of that? I am finding it hard to picture what exactly that looks like

Hey so I suck at MSS questions. I'm great at finding the conclusion questions and MBT questions so I'm surprised I do poorly on a question type that's so related to the aforementioned types. When analyzing the stimulus, I understand what I read but I'm the type of person who needs certainty to feel like they understand something. So when inferences that are based on a subjective analysis of the stimulus, I tend to struggle. Are there any drills I could do outside of grinding MSS questions to improve on this question type?

Hi all,

So I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year and scoring consistently in the 170s. I always planned on taking the FLEX test so I have always studied with 3 section test. After not scoring how I wanted to on the June exam, I had to sign up for August, and start practicing with four sections.

I have been doing the "experimental" section first to see how the extra section is impacting my stamina. Holy score drop. MY BR scores are the same, but my fatigue by the end of the 4 section is causing mistakes (mid 160s).

I am wondering if I should push to October, or try to build stamina in this last week/week and a half. I dont like where pushing the test puts me for applications, but I really dont want an unrepresentative score on my file. I have noticed the fatigue is lessened over the past 2 PTs.... what would you do? Is it ignorant to think that the adrenaline of the test might help with fatigue?

How early before my exam start time should I log on? For example, if my exam is at 10am, when should I begin firing up my LawHub?

Has anyone taken the remote LSAT at the hotel? If yes, how was the wifi? Did you need to move any furniture or cover the electronics like TV?

Thank you

Hi Everyone! I am working through the last few sections of the LR part of the course and have struggled with the Parallel Method of Reasoning and Parallel Flaw Questions the most. I find that I take forever to read the AC and second-guess myself. I have gotten better at intuitively answering the other LR types now that I understand what the questions are asking (without Lawgic/diagramming... this is still difficult despite understanding the questions). Do I need to go back and study the Lawgic sections, or is there other approaches that might help?

Hello All! I hope all is well.

My 7sage subscription says that it expires tomorrow (August 6th). Will I still be able to access it all day tomorrow or is today (the 5th) my last day?

Thank you! Best of luck.

This might be a obvious answer but I just want to be certain. How do we actually access the exam -- is it on the Proctor Website? I am a first time test taker and just want to limit the unknowns.

What is everyone doing study material and time wise and we approach the August exam?

Hi everyone!

I have been studying for the LSAT for about three months now, and I just cannot seem to bring my logical reasoning score up. On my practice tests, I typically get about 7-10 questions wrong (the best I have scored is -4). I have tried so many different resources, including the Loophole and the LSAT trainer. I have been practicing a lot. I can identify the question types, and I feel pretty confident about my skills until I take a prep test or drill. This just seems to be an ongoing cycle and I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how I can overcome this? Perhaps there are some people out there who have been in the same boat and could share some advice based on their experiences. Any insight and advice would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you :)
