hey guys,
sorry for asking but I am having doubts about my abilities on the lsat. I am scheduled to perform in august but I am thinking of changing it to October I just want to know what is the deadline/ last day that I can change it. I know I have to pay a fee for it which sucks but I wanted to know if anyone has any information on this. I was thinking of changing it 2 weeks before the exam/ giving myself more time to improve. This exam has sucked the soul out of me.
About how long, on average, should someone study for the LSAT before taking the real test? Or, does it depend on how ready I feel via target scores on the practice tests?
Hi guys, I'm taking the test in August and live in NYC. I won't be able to take the test at home because I don't have a quiet place to do it. Wondering where NYC residents, if you have rented a place for lsat in this past year, have successfully (no wifi failure, not noisy, etc) completed this test at? Did you go somewhere outside of the city or just really far out in Queens, Bronx, or Brooklyn? Thanks!
Hoping to crowd-source resources. I'm fairly comfortable if I can diagram a sentence but am trying to slowly wean myself off this time-consuming method. Anyone have great LR problems, drills, exercises that have helped you with conditional language you'd like to share?
Where I am at:
Thanks much in advance! I'll try to pull up the LR questions I've saved to share as well.
What was that "flip of a switch" moment or piece of advice that dramatically changed your perspective of the LSAT or of how you go about your LSAT study?
I'm currently in the low 160s, looking to improve my RC performance. I'm looking for a RC Drilling partner to help practice active reading and other good RC habits:
Familiar with the test content (question types, strategies, etc.)
Reliable: show up on time and communicate if your plan changes
Comfortable with tackling the harder RC passages (4-5 stars)
Available to drill (via Zoom) at least once a week in at least one of the following time frames: 7-9am EST or 5-8pm EST (M-F); after 5pm EST on Sat or Sun
No prior preparation needed. We will:
Please message me your availability to study (date/day/time), some facts about your LSAT journey (current level, how long you've been studying, your goal, etc.) and your email.
I will send an invite and we'll conquer RC from there!
Hi guys!
I’m super stressed because the August test is 6 weeks away and I have barely improved my diagnostic scores of LR and RC. I’m shooting for a 160-165 but averaging a 153-155 currently.
I’m great at LG with an average of 4-6 wrong
but RC is my biggest weakness with my most recent being -14 wrong and LR most recent being -10.
My diagnostic was -15 RC, -14 LG, and -13/-16 LR.
So minimal improvement. But I just need more of a boost.
Untimed my best RC section was -7 and my best LR was -6. But I don’t know I’m just super stressed, please help!
I’ve tried different computers and different wifi and it is soooo slow.
I'm not at all understanding the answer to this question. As far as I can tell, none of the answer choices seem to be even somewhat related to voter reactions except choice D.
D creates a situation wherein public perception is "Politicians in scandals should be punished, but only if their opposition is not as bad". This would align with the voting preferences expressed.
E, the "correct" answer, creates a situation wherein parties should be criticized instead of incumbents when we know it is more the party's fault. This doesn't seem remotely correct, however, because the question itself makes no effort to explain "fault" as an impact on voter preferences, nor does it reflect voter preferences at all - reelecting the incumbant does not punish their party at all.
Help?
Hey everyone! I am looking to score in the high 150s-low 160s for the November exam. I have been with 7sage for about a month now. If anyone is in a study group or would be able to tutor me I would appreciate it!
Hello! I am looking for a tutor to meet with a few times before I take the August test. I am looking to improve my score by 3-5 points at least before August exam.
I graduated undergrad in 2016. I contacted my 2 closest professors for recommendation letters and they are willing to write them, but I am worried I need more recent references. I am struggling to come up with a third reference, my former work supervisors that I interacted with on a daily basis neither know me on a personal level nor have the best command of the English language. I moved to a new city just when Covid started so I had no chance to get involved in a community organization outside of work.
Does anyone here keep an error log and if so do you use a notebook or on the computer? Im trying to figure out a way to create an error log on paper that's easy to use/helpful so if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it!
Pretty much what the title asks.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a study partner for the August LSAT.
I'm averaging a 168 on PTs but hoping to score 170+ on the August LSAT. I plan on studying full-time for the next month, so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm hoping to work with someone who can commit to a consistent study schedule-- ideally I'd love to have a partner who can blind review/talk through challenging questions with me for an hour or so everyday. And I think it'd be super motivating if they shared my goal of breaking into (at least) the low 170s.
Please DM me if you're interested!
Hey I'm working on PrepTest 33 S4 G1Q5 (among others) and I keep having issues with complicated question formats.
The general version of the wording that most trips me up is "Which of the following must be true EXCEPT" and an answers like "_____ is not 4". Individually I can deal with these, like when I have an "EXCEPT" question or negative answer choice, but together I keep going in circles.
Are there any steps I should be during to answer these questions without spending 3+ min on them?
For reference, I get -2ish on LG so I am focused on fine tuning, so skipping is something I want to avoid at this point..
Thank you in advance!
Hi all,
I understand that a lot of 7Sagers fool proof games so they they can eventually do each game in a section at or below the time suggestion noted on the 7Sage LG explanation videos. I completed the LG section from PT 11 and thankfully got all the questions correct under 35 minutes. However, for games 1 and 2 I was under time, and games 3 and 4 I was over time (ex. for game 1, the time suggestion was 7.5 minutes but i completed the game in 6 minutes. for game 3, the time recommendation was 11 minutes, but I took 13 minutes). I wanted to know if this indicates that I have timing issues or if its perfectly okay and normal to be quicker on one or two games in a section and take a little longer on games 3 and 4 if that means I am finishing the section in 35 minutes? Appreciate your help!
Scored a 166 in April, it's down to 161 in June. I'm not even sure of what went wrong; I felt good coming out of the test despite a proctor interruption. Threw me off on the final bit of LG (had only a couple questions left on the final game) but I was okay for RC which was the final section - I just don't know what went wrong.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I didn't expect to do this badly at all
So I started off with a diagnostic of 133..rough. Just took another prep test for fun even though I haven't gotten to logic games yet or reading comp, and scored a 138. Seeing that score made me lose major motivation in even trying to go to law school. Any tips on what I can do from here on out to improve? I'm signed up for the October LSAT.
Hi, I have just purchased the Ultimate+ with the bundle package and received a confirmation email but when I log out and sign back into my 7Sage, it still says I need to purchase a subscription. What should I do?
Can anyone explain why C is wrong? I was between A and C and I chose C.
I’m registered for the August 2021 LSAT, where we’ll have 4 section with a 10-minute break between section 2 and 3. To prepare I’ve been doing full length PT with the same 10 minute break in middle. However, I find that my scores in section 2 and 3 tend to be my lowest and I do feel myself become more passive as I read. Also on the break I tend to close my eyes or mentally test but I think that could be contributing as well since the 10 minute break isn’t exactly waking me up.
I am considering doing 3 sections back to back to increase stamina, focus, and endurance. Do you think that would help amp up my focus in those sections?
I received 24 college credits in high school through 4 different colleges. They were just normal high school classes that I was then allowed to pay a fee and complete a few extra assignments to get college credit. Do I have to list these schools separately in the education section or just Marist College where I actually attended for undergrad. I uploaded all 5 transcripts to LSAC.
Hi, so I was unhappy with my June 2021 LSAT score and have lost some confidence. Should I still take the August exam or truly try and prep for the October examination instead? Or simply take both? For some background info, the June LSAT Flex was the first exam I have taken.
My preptest formatting is off. It won't allow me to save questions that I am unsure about for blind review and I feel like taking preptests is a waste if I can't use the highlighting feature nor circle questions I was uncertain about. Can anyone #help me figure out this technical issue?
