I am thinking of starting a small (in-person) study group starting Nov. 1st

Time: Twice a week for 5 weeks

(Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) can be changed

Location: A study cafe in Seoul (the cost will be shared equally)

We will take "timed" practice tests 62-71 under simulated conditions (I find this to be the best practice)

Blind review will be done individually at home

Come back with additional questions and we will try to help ourselves by helping each other

Most importantly, I would like all of us to be a positive influence

providing good moral support as well as holding each other accountable throughout the treacherous LSAT journey

If anyone is interested, leave me a comment

And I will organize the Kakao Group Chat :)

I am an American studying abroad in the UK, and so I've just taken my exam today. I had wifi issues at my apartment and so I booked a public office space to take the exam. I was pumped and ready to take the exam. ProctorU began demanding I download software that is incompatible with my MacBook (i.e. a .exe file). I was unable to download it and thus unable to connect to a proctor and take my test. Of course I had to call customer service, and the lady ridiculed me and blamed the tech issues on me for being international. I was so flustered, anxious and frustrated. I was ultimately unable to use my own computer and had to borrow a Thinkpad from the public office. The keyboard was British and I spent so much time on my test simply trying to figure out where all of the keys were. On top of this I was too frustrated to focus for the first two sections - I have never felt so bad about a test as I do this one. The reading comp alone probably tanked my score because I kept having to re-read and hold back tears. During my 10 minute break I went to the restroom and cried. The last 2 sections went by okay, because I forced myself to pretend like I wasn't about to break down.

2 years of studying for the LSAT and website and tech issues might be the reason I don't get into the law school of my dreams.

I already filed a formal complaint to retake the exam, no guarantee that it will be granted though.

I am a wreck. I can't believe this is how test day went. 25 prep tests since June and I was averaging a 165 and sometimes higher, but because of what I went through this morning I wouldn't be surprised if I got a 150

Hey 7sagers!

A group of us are discussing how to represent the following sentence:

"A and B are exactly two spaces apart"

We can't seem to agree on how to represent it. There isn't a specific logic game example I can post that has this language but it came up because it was seen in this book "The LSAT Logic Puzzle Book: Are You Smarter than a Lawyer?"

Posting here for a fun discussion/debate and to hopefully take your mind off the October exam for those who took it! :)

Hi everyone,

I am mid20F looking for a study buddy for Jan 2022 LSAT. I've been studying on and off and finally decided to make a serious commitment for the next three months. I can study about 4-5 hrs/day and my goal is to bring my score up from 157 to mid 160s.

Because I have a job it would be difficult for me to find a regular time to study together + I live in Asia. I've heard of people studying together via SKYPE but that wouldn't work for me :( Rather than that, I'm looking for someone to hold accountable for each other in a slightly toned-down way. For example, sending texts of the day's progress, occasionally talking about LSAT, etc.

Anyone who's in a similar boat, pls send me a message!

I don't get why the games are difficult for me. I've done a lot of Sudoku in the past which is similar to the games, in terms of figuring out placements and sequences so I assumed Logic Games would be alike to that. Every time I do a logic game, I get an average score and understand the explanation but still do average on the next problem set. Does anyone have any tips for knocking these questions out?

Hi everyone! I have some free time and would love to provide some free tutoring. I have no official score yet but have been scoring high 160s/low 170s on recent PTs after receiving a diagnostic of 146 back in the beginning of the year. DM if you’re interested or have any questions, thanks!

Hi friends, I see 7sage has the LSAT score simulator where you input the number of errors and get the LSAT score of the latest PrepTests. It then gives you a score probability. However, I've heard that the new curves are brutal, perhaps due to there being more applicants, to Flex, or even to people having more study-time.

With that in mind, is the 7sage predictor accurate? When it says "latest" PrepTests is it referring to the ones available on 7sage or to the actual ones dispensed by LSAC? The latest PT on 7sage is May 2020, so it is barely taking into account COVID Flex Tests. This could mean that the simulator is outdated and off by now since there's been a drastic increase in test-takers and good score since 2020.

I think it'd be good to know for many of us what actually constitutes a 170 this year. Is it -7 or -6 even?

Thank you!

Fam, can we just get that bread? Winner winner chicken dinner?

The LSAT is the easiest hard thing I've ever seen. It's literally reorienting my entire life and self-image. Holy quac-a-swolley.

The upside is that it transforms me into a monster that'll be equipped to respond to insecure mother fuckers who use dense and convoluted language. Instead of saying "I need to take a piss," the LSAT says "The human species' homeostatic process depends on metabolizing certain fluids and excreting them over the course of time. The metabolized fluids in your body cannot stay within the confines of your stomach linings, which requires an exit strategy via certain organs that vary by sex. I am in the point of the cycle where it needs release." Like b!tch. F(_)CK you. If ya gotta piss just say you gotta take a piss.

This test is simple but I just can't freaken crack it, but let's just get DAT BREAD. Don't succumb to this piece of plankton puke. Let's beat his ass!!

I've been soooo focused on studying for the LSAT that I never even bothered to prep for the writing section. Any tips to help prepare? I took the LSAT this past Sunday and I'm planning on doing the writing tomorrow.

The recent rise in LSAT scores after flex has been factors like this:

  • People studying more (lol)
  • People more comfortable (that explains the 6 point boost!)
  • The unweighted advantage shifted to doing 1 LR
  • While I can see 2 and 3 as plausible, I have a hard time believing that 100 or so students aren't just cheating through tech (won't explain how). I'm pretty sure that the "tech" people monitoring who make $9 an hour aren't super vigilant on eye movements or on something that is suspicious.

    This isn't the craziest thing people have done for the sake of improving. People cheat on the SAT/GRE/online classes all the time with similar tech that's a joke to enforce.

    The amount of people that improved on the 170s tremendously and wouldn't be surprised jumped the line having the percentiles changed.

    Can someone explain to me why Answer choice D is the best choice for PT 91 Logical Reasoning Question 17? Is it because Answer choice D is only meeting one objective whereas the answer choices are meeting more than one objective? Thank you.

    Hi everyone,

    Hope studying is going well! I have a question for people who have already taken the online proctored version. Can I click on the clock to make it go away the same way I can with PT's on 7Sage? It really distracts me when I see the clock ticking in the corner of my eye and find myself having to reread way more. Thanks for your help!
