Feeling frustrated because I feel like as I practice games, I'm only memorizing those specific games and not getting better at making inferences. Any advice/perspective?

Does anyone have any hints or tips on how to get RRE questions correct? #help

I'm taking the October Flex, so I've been doing simulated Flex PTs every day for the last month or so. But my recent PT scores have been fluctuating a lot and that is kind of freaking me out a bit. My last six PTs (from 76-80) have the following scores: 167,173,165,163,169,164. Granted, some days I might be more in the zone than others, but all this fluctuation is making me really unsure how well I'll handle the actual October test, which is just a couple of days away.

Has anyone else also experienced this kind of fluctuation in their PTs? And what should I do to calm myself/improve my chances in these last few days before the test? Ah man all this uncertainty is really getting on my nerves.

I'm thinking about making a discord server or something. Maybe we can review each other's essays, talk about how to strengthen resume's and target schools. Let me know!

For anyone who sat for October but is also planning to sit for November, how are you allotting the rest of your time? Just finished my test today, and I'm testing for November. But now I have to put more time toward my essays and applications + continue to study. How is everyone else going about this?

On Q23: I almost picked C then changed it to E. (answer is C)

On 8: I have no idea.. (answer is C)

Hello! I'm registered for the November exam. I know that test takers have to register for a particular exam date & time. I was wondering what the time options for the October exam were. Were folks able to sign up for their preferred time? Was the sign-up process easy?

Hey everyone! I am a relatively new user to 7Sage, and I was just hoping to vent some frustrations that I have had with my LSAT progress. Hopefully this is an appropriate forum for such things, and apologies if this post is overly long or disjointed. Throughout my entire LSAT experience, I have felt really alone because I did not have any close friends to get advice from and my school did not help me with any resources. And with there being such a saturation of LSAT prep services available on the market, it was hard for me to wade through it all and select a service. I began my LSAT journey last January, and have had a bit of an inconsistent time with studying since then. I started with the LSAT Trainer, which was recommended to me by a tutor that I reached out to, and I had a good experience working through this book. However, as I said, I did not follow the study schedule that the author Mike Kim recommended (I was working 20 hrs per week and taking an intensive course load), and so I didn’t get as much out of that as I would have liked. I finished the LSAT Trainer in June, and then felt like I was not where I wanted to be. I also made the mistake of taking practice tests untimed while I was reading the LSAT Trainer, which I realize is very stupid now, especially after learning about JY’s blind review method. After that, I looked for a new prep course and came across 7Sage. I also took about two months off to dedicate for job hunting, and when I eventually found a job I turned my focus back to the LSAT.

Now, it is August, and to be honest I was panicking. I felt like I had wasted the past months not taking preparation for the LSAT seriously, even though it means so much to me to go to a good law school. For reference, I have a 3.92 LSAC gpa and have good soft skills as well, but I have unfortunately warped the LSAT into a seemingly impossible mountain to climb, and this has really been negative for my confidence. I recently took a practice test and I got a 145 (with a 166 blind review), and this scared me as well. I feel like I've made every mistake in the book, but I am still determined to beat this test. And deep down I know that I can, but it will take a lot of hard work and WAY more consistent studying.

I have also found that it has been hard for me to stick to a regimented schedule in studying with 7Sage, and I’m not sure if this is the right prep service for me to continue with. This has been totally my fault, and I am not criticizing 7Sage at all as I think it is a wonderful service. I just think that I might benefit from a more structured course with face to face learning with an instructor, like with Blueprint or Princeton Review, even though I’ve heard horrid reviews of the latter. So I suppose my question is this: for someone who has been studying for the LSAT kind of on and off for some time, how did you finally pull the trigger and devote your energy and time to achieving your best possible score? And for people that have been in similar positions as me, how do you not let the stress overwhelm you and grind through the uncertainty? Finally, has anyone had any experience taking the Online Course with BluePrint? I realize this might not be the right place to ask as 7Sage is so popular for many students, but I would appreciate any advice. Perhaps the best thing for me to do is to power through 7Sage and be patient. Thank you!

If you have a rule that says for example either P or L will be selected and you write the rule as /P->L and /L->P, could both L and P be selected?

Recently on a reddit post I found people saying it was okay to use command F on the flex test for RC and refer back to a specific part on a passage. This sounded kind of "sus" to me but I wanted to make sure and ask people here that might know. But if it is allowed that would be a major hack for myself and I'm sure many others, as I often have an idea of what a question is referring too and all i need is a way to quickly go back to that exact part in the passage and confirm my thoughts.

How many Ws on a transcript do you need before alarm bells go off? Do law schools care a lot about Ws? Does anyone have and advice for writing an addenda about Ws?

Hi everyone. Does anyone have tips on consistency scoring so much lower than BR? It's just such a difference in scores and I know I have to do better on timing... but has anyone experienced this? And how did you overcome this? Honestly any advice would be great.

Hi all!

I'm sure there's a lot of you out there who have gone through this and I thought it would be helpful to get some advice.

I have been on my LSAT journey for nearly a year now and am finally starting to score where I need to be but I find my performance on tests is hindered by my anxieties. I tend to tune into the "I'm taking the test right now" which leads me to read stimuli over a couple of times without actually taking anything in, I almost feel paralyzed if that makes sense? It really only happens in LR I'm not sure why.

I usually score between -5 on LR and just took the second LR on PT 73 and scored -9 not counting the 5 questions I left unanswered. Wondering if anyone has any strategies to combat this?

Hello! I am struggling during my PTs without being able to scribble notes next to important parts of the passage. Highlighting is okay, but it gets pretty distracting by the end with so many colors popping out at me. Does anyone have an efficient system (writing it out on paper seems to be taking too long) for marking your passages?

Does anyone have any tips for Must Be True or Necessary/Sufficient Assumption questions? I know they should probably be easy but they are the question types I consistently get wrong and find the hardest to understand

Hi! I’m taking the LSAT flex tomorrow on my monitor that has a built in webcam at the bottom, so when I’m looking at the screen it looks like I’m looking up a bit. Has anyone done this before/run into problems with it? Do you think it’ll be fine?

How do I print individual logic games from the problem sets?

I started studying a few months ago, with a 160 diagnostic. I slowly creeped up to mid 60s, then low 70s, getting close to mid 70s with a top score of 177. Then, about a month ago, my score started dropping. I still get in the low 70s, but more commonly am now dropping back to mid 60s. My 163 today really did not feel great. (And this was after taking a full day off!!)

However, through this entire time, my BR score has consistently been 175-180 (most commonly a very specific 177, for some reason). So clearly I still know my shit, but just have completely lost how to do it during the test. What the heck is going on, and how can I reverse engineer this?

Alas, I am taking the October LSAT-Flex in a week... and there may not be enough time to remedy. (Though I do have first time test taker cancelling thingy, and am signed up for the November test as well.) But would love any thoughts!!

I emailed LSAC the other day to confirm its still allowed and they stated specifically it is allowed still.

I setup mine for the 6th and was wondering if there was something else I had to do? Do I download any app or software or do I just login on the website when it is my turn? I am confused how this goes. I haven't seen or read about anything if I need to be downloading something.

I know it might be a little late but did anyone else have the August RC section with the bee's passage and the patriotism/ecocentrism comparative passage? I'm starting to think that it was one of the hardest reading comp sections I've ever seen and am wondering how others felt about it? The comparative passage could've been written in Sumerian and I would've had a better shot. Did anyone have this section and do well?

Do we need to print out our admission ticket for the Flex? Assuming no since I no longer see it available in my LSAC account and it just said to bring an acceptable photo ID.

Also, do we see a webcam version of our face on the screen at all times?

Please let me down easy if I shouldn’t be, but I am wondering if my PT performance means I should be confident about taking the actual test. My most recent PT I scored a 165 which I would be thrilled to get on the actual exam. This is a big increase from my first flex PT which was a 152. I obviously always do the PTs timed, but since I live with 6 other people there is always a lot of distractions so I almost always have to stop and come back to the section I am on. However I will have a quiet space to complete the test on test day, so I’m hoping it will be easier to concentrate. Should I be confident that I am capable of getting another 165?

My undergrad institution and LSAC have the exact same grading scale. When manually going through how they got to the numbers on the report, it fits perfectly with the following:

I determined that LSAC considered four "U" grades, or unsatisfactory grades, to equal 8 total "semester hours" with a 0.00 grade. My undergraduate school does says these count for "0 attempted credits" and do NOT contribute to my GPA. It seems arbitrary that LSAC calculated these to be 8 course hours when my school counts them as none.

***This isn't a legitimate course. It's a ten-minute online training about taking books out from the library that is mandatory before graduation but kind of expected to be completed as a first year. Did not know it would be on my transcript. Instead of a 3.69 overall GPA, LSAC computed a 3.22 which decimates my overall GPA (I transferred with a 3.91 with equal course hours). I know I was lazy but wow, this seems extreme. Can I appeal this to LSAC?
