Is it more beneficial to take practice tests along the way or wait to do them all at the end?

hi, i was wondering what the available time range for flex tests was for the international lsat-flex in previous administrations! i'm in kst but please lmk the time range that you had in your timezone if you took the international flex!

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was a way I could take a 4-section LSAT, see what my grade would be for that, and also see what my grade would be if it were a flex. I would like to take the 4-section test to increase my exposure and test endurance and also because the August LSAT is a 4-section test.

On a side note, for someone who tends to do relatively well on logical reasoning, isn't having one less LR section a disadvantage? Pre-covid, LR was 50% of the grade and now it is only 1/3. Did they make up for that in some manner or does LR now just simply determine a smaller chunk of the grade?

Thank you!

Would you classify the stimulus as a set of premises or an argument?

I am bit unsure about getting letters of recommendation. I am an undergrad in engineering school (in my 4th year) who is looking at going to law school soon after graduation. I do not think it is very common for engineering undergrads to go to law school after graduation and so I don't really know how to approach the subject with any of my professors. I have worked with one professor outside of an academic setting, but I don't really believe I have a close enough relationship where they would be willing to recommend me for a field completely outside their field of expertise. Is there anyone else who has been in a maybe similar situation who might be able to provide any guidance here? Thanks!

Hi located in CA and work full time 9-5, looking for an accountability partner/study group who’s willing to motivate each other to study after work/weekends even if it’s just silently study together via FaceTime :)

I've been PTing tests in the 20's and 30's because I've done PT's in the 50's and 60's already. However after getting back to practicing in the 50's my score tanked. In the 20's and 30'Ss I am able to score -5/-6 in RC but I've gotten so many more wrong in the harder RC. Anyone deal with this and found a way to overcome? LMK. Thanks!

help Sorry if this is stated elsewhere, but I couldn't find the answer.

I plan on applying for law school in 2022/23, but would like to get the LSAT out of the way this coming summer. I know law schools are accepting LSAT-Flex during the pandemic for the coming year, but will they accept LSAT-Flex scores in years after? I know your score is good for 5 years, but want to make sure the flex will continue to be accepted. Would it be better to just take the full LSAT once it returns?

Also, should I keep taking full practice PTs or does the flex option suffice?

Thanks y'all!

Hey Guys so I’m deciding between FSU(Tallahassee) and SMU (Dallas )

I have a month to decide

SMU ends up costing more by at least $75 k over three years ... 98K more over 10 years when you include interest

SMU for me I feel like has better employment numbers especially since most students end up working for private firms

FSU students mainly end up working in govt jobs and get paid much less on average by 22k a year

FSU obviously has a much nice campus and is in a much prettier state overall not that Texas isn’t pretty

What are your thoughts??? Especially about FSU?

I feel like if I go there it would be a career killer

I definitely don’t want to be a public defender ... prosecutor ... personal injury attorney ... or a criminal defense attorney

I’m really into politics ... tech ( IP law & cyberspace law ) ... corporate law

The SMU student body looks like it’s more conservative which is a plus for me since I lean more conservative

If anybody is at FSU or SMU ... give me your honest opinion!

Studying for the LSAT can be so overwhelming. I often question if I'm studying correctly, studying the right materials, kicking myself for narrowing down the answers and always seeming to pick the wrong one of the two. But today, for the first time, I answered every single LG question correctly on a practice test. Was it my best score ever? No, but that's okay. Friends, please allow yourselves the little victories. You deserve them!

Hi Sagers!

Curious if anyone has used a computer monitor during their LSAT flex? Does anyone know if this is allowed?

Thanks!

Am I the only one who scores significantly better when I take the PT on paper vs the online version?! I can take the PT on paper and score 25-27/27 on RC sections but seriously struggle to hit 20/27 on the online versions on Lawhub, sometimes its even lower. It's not that I'm doing more recent or older tests on paper vs online either... I literally just STRUGGLE with scrolling to see/read the reading passages online and HATE that I cannot notate like I normally do. Trying to to highlight or underline online is hit or miss because half the time it underlines the words below or above where I want it to and I AM FRUSTRATED. Does anyone have any tips?? I know I could try taking notes on scrap paper but I feel like that wastes precious seconds and is just distracting. I feel like the online version is discriminating against us old-school folks who prefer to read and write on REAL books/notes vs virtual/online texts.

I was putting together a list of rules of thumb to remember when answering LG questions and I thought I'd share. I'd love to hear what others use! I typically try to remember the following:

Does anyone know how long a statement of need letter should be when requesting accommodations? Also, does anyone know how long LSAT takes for decision? Thanks so much.

Hi, would really appreciate any thoughts on this question. My understanding of the stimulus is as follows:

Support NT --> /chance of elect.

Und E -->/support NT

Conclusion: Und E --> Chance of elect.

I'm not entirely sure how the AC follows from this. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know if/when LSAC will release copies of the tests from 2020?

I am scheduled to take the April flex and have been practicing/will be taking my exam on my Mac. It is a MacBook Air that is using macOS Big Sur Version 11.1. I have seen some horror stories on Reddit regarding the use of a mac on the flex, but it is my only available computer. I just wanted to reach out to this community to see if anybody has any advice to try to prepare my computer to be compatible with the Flex/ProctorU requirements as much as possible in advance. Any advice is greatly appreciated... just trying to ease some of my tech nerves!

Does @Burden_of_Floof have the best username/avatar combo on 7sage?

a late celebratory post that i bumped up my score by 9 points in a short amount of time! it caused one of the schools i had already been admitted to, to increase my scholarship offer by $10,000 per year--a very real reminder that every point counts, and the lsat holds way too much power.

i had been PT-ing an average of maybe 162/163 by the nov. lsat, my first time taking the lsat, but i was nervous + holding my bladder come test day. couldn't focus. jan lsat, i felt super calm and i got lucky with an especially easy reading comp section, which is my worst section.

just throwing this out in case it gives anyone hope of increasing their score! i'd offer tips but i don't feel that great at anything other than logic games. the advice there is simple: keep fool-proofing. it really took me from ~ oct. 2019 to nov. 2020 to get consistently good where i'd miss 3 on average. my first PT, i missed 13. be in it for the long haul!

I just requested assistance with LSAC to get a computer loan for April’s test and was wondering if anyone had experience with this? How many days in advanced do I get the loaner before my test date and would I need to download any software required by ProctorU, or would it already be set up for me? Also, would I be able to take a PT on the loaner before test day in order to get familiar with using it?

I did the score predictor from Khan Academy and was able to get an estimate of my starting score (in the 140s :( ). I did not do a full diagnostic exam yet. Is it absolutely vital to do a full diagnostic exam?

Hi there! I am taking the June 2021 LSAT and would love a group of girls (maybe 3-5) to have a study group with 2-3 times a week via zoom! I am located in SoCal so someone in the Pacific TimeZone would be great! Please email me if you are interested in joining! erinschrang@gmail.com :)

Is anyone stressed just waiting for law school decisions ?

Hello my name is Luan Phan,

I'm a first generation Asian - American with aspirations of attending a T - 14 Law School. I have been studying for the LSAT on and off throughout college and decided pretty late in my career to attend law school. However; I recently have just graduated college and I feel kind of lost on how to proceed forward and would appreciate any advice that is provided.

Some context into my situation - I did exceptionally well in college and received an A in all my classes as a Marketing Major and would now like to transition my life towards studying for this rigorous exam. I plan on taking the exam around Late July(Which is 5 months) and this exam is my entire focus for this time - period. How would you approach studying for the exam? I have completed some of the core curriculum, but will start over from the beginning again, since I had to stop studying due to graduation and the circumstances of the ongoing pandemic.

I don't really have anyone to ask for help because none of my friends are pursuing the same career aspirations or have similar aspirations as mine, that is why I am reaching out to those who are more experienced. I'm really anxious and scared because my family and friends believe in me, but I just need a little bit of help in the right direction.

Update: Thank you so much for all the help that was given to me! I am truly appreciative and was at a very mentally tough place in my life this past month. However; I have taken some time off to refocus and get my life in - order so that I can focus on this exam. I have realize that this journey is now about an ideal score, but the continuous improvement on your skillsets and I have learned to trust the process and believe in myself. I appreciate all of your time and effort in helping me through my struggles. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much to everybody!

Hi,

I'm sure this question has been posted before, but I'm curious how to use 7Sage to study. I think I want to take August 2021 LSAT. I am open to June 2021 but I am trying to be realistic. I work full time at a law firm. I studied for 4 months late 2020 and experienced burnout, so I took a break to enjoy the holidays and I moved to a new city. Once I got back into my studies, I got covid. I've had 7sage for about a month now and I just finished the Lawgic section. How does anyone recommend I use this program moving forward? I love it so far, but it seems like it could take me so long to get through it. Should I skip around? Should I jump to the sections I struggle with most? Should I dedicate 1 month to LG sections, 1 months to LR sections, 1 month to RC sections if do able, and then use the remaining months to drill and do practice tests? I'd appreciate anyone's advice. Thank you.
