Does anyone have any advice on getting LG down from -3 average to -1/0? I am currently averaging -2 on both LR and RC, so this is the only thing holding my score back from my goals. I have done every game from PT 1-35 multiple times and am not sure how to proceed. Should I continue taking full PTs and redoing the new games? I would not say i'm struggling with any particular game type, but I tend to make 1 costly error like misreading a rule and losing a ton of time before figuring it out. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey all, I recently started working with @tmh5947 & he is AMAZING! He's a pro in Logic Games, I was so overwhelmed learning LG, but Tyler made it less tedious and easy to understand! The best part is, for those on a budget like me, he only charges $25 and hour. The first half hour is free, so it's $12 for the first session! Tyler's super sweet and is EXTREMELY knowledgable. This is not an advertisement, I truly work with Tyler, and I couldn't be happier. For anyone who wants to reach out, his e-mail is tmh5947@psu.edu

You WON'T be disappointed.

How can I access the practice tests on 7sage? I have a free account.

I believe the correct answer is D, not C. Why does 7Sage state the answer is D?

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if I can change the BR answer from my finished PT to a new one? Is it possible to do this without creating a new copy of the PT, but just directly replacing the old answer?

Thanks!

Hi,

I finished a PT and the result showed as tho I'd left a bunch of questions blank, which I hadn't, then I sent a msg to tech support to 7 sage, and did the same PT again, the same thing happened but this time the error started with an earlier question, it even said on the results section where the error started and from that question onwards none of my answers were recorded, now the discussion page is glitching for me, I tried a different browser and same thing. Have you experienced this? I wonder if it's an error on my end of 7 sage's software, I hope it can be resolved soon so I can resume studying. I hope I will hear from 7 sage soon.

Thank you!

So I just scored a 161 on PT 63, and this is honestly the equivalent of a 170 plus for me. I Know this level of score will almost certainly get me into a Canadian school and that's all that matters to me at the end of the day.

This came after four months of studying basically full time. After starting off with a 144 diagnostic. Yet, I can't shake the feeling it's a fluke somehow? I can't help but feel maybe I got lucky. Which doesn't seem to be the case because my past three PTs have been 158, 158 and now 161.

From the very beginning I've been doubting myself. Telling myself I'd be happy with a 155, just to have some chance.

Anyone else experience this sort of self doubt and how did you crush it?

I'm tired of part of me thinking I'm not good enough to well on this test. What can I do?

Hello! Does anyone have any tips on how to read a stimulus faster?

So I was really surprised by a declined request for a recommendation from a grad school professor who has written several excellent recommendations for post grad programs for me before. They said it would not be helpful coming from them. When I asked why they declined I got this rough reasoning.

A. I finished grad school 4 years ago with an interdisciplinary MA in 2016 so there is a time gap.

B. They are a history professor and do not think a recommendation would be valuable for this reason.

C. They have been hating life in academia (understandable because academia is rough these days and the administration there was awful) and plan to leave academia entirely in 2021. They feel that since they will no longer be working in academia next year the recommendation will be worthless.

The reason I asked them is because they are the professor that knew me best in grad school and can speak not only about my academic performance (they were my thesis advisor) but also personal obstacles I overcame. Perhaps it is lip service, but my understanding is that graduate schools are looking for diverse academic backgrounds and would hardly turn up their noses at a recommendation from a published socio-cultural history professor. Actually, in retrospect, my concern is that the undergrad professor I went to for a law school rec was also a history professor and this does not show the breadth of my studies with two interdisciplinary degrees, but I think on the whole that is negated by my close relationship with both.

B: For a mature, mid 30's grad like myself 4 years hardly seems like a large gap in time for an academic recommendation. Law schools would, I assume, probably be happy to have an academic rec letter from a mature applicant, again, especially because they can write well about me.

As for C, that one I can see perhaps mattering but, especially for mature applicants, it would not be uncommon that a professor has retired since they left school, which doesn't seem much different to me? I know for grad school I asked a retired former professor for a rec letter and they complied with a strong one.

I am inclined to make these points and ask again, but before I do I wanted to hear what other people who may be more informed than I think. I will also probably send some anonymous emails to the schools I am looking at.

If you aren't bored yet, background below.

Hi everyone,

For the past year, we’ve been working on a major project. The premise is simple. Law school professors know a lot about the law. We know a little about teaching. What if we joined forces?

The result is Law School Explained, a series of video and audio lessons that walk you through the basics of a typical 1L curriculum. Instead of making you infer the law by reading hundreds of cases, we just, well, explain it—and by “we,” I mean “top professors from around the country.” We’ve broken the lessons into small, digestible units. Think of our course as a primer, preview, and supplement that you can watch on the couch or listen to when you go for a run.

We’re working on eight different subjects: Property, Criminal Law, Torts, Con Law, Civil Procedure, Legal Writing, Contracts, and a forthcoming class about how to succeed in law school. So far, we’ve published about a hundred animated video lessons and nearly two hundred audio lessons. Although we’re producing more content each week, we’re finally ready to share this. Here’s how it works:

You can subscribe to our audio and video lessons for $16 per month, or you can subscribe to our audio lessons alone for $9 per month.

With either option, you’ll be able to listen to them right from our website. If you subscribe to the video lessons, you’ll also be able to watch the animations on our website. And with both options, you’ll get access to new content as we publish it.

We’re eager to hear what you think!

Hi, my name is Valerie! I am a recent college graduate who works as a full-time project assistant in a Washington D.C. BigLaw. I plan to study six months for the February test while working full time. Two months to go through 7sage core courses and four months to take practice exams.

Hi I took a preptest recently and a blot of my answers were blank when I went into the Blind Review part. Why does this happen and is there a way to make sure it doesn’t happen again?

So I don't know if it's too late to petition to change my October Exam to November, but if it is I do have a question and I'm not sure which is wiser; should I change to November? Some background info; not applying this year, retaking a 163, underperformed last time and afraid to repeat, pting average of -.6 LG, -4.3 RC, -2.5 LR over past 10ish tests.

Flex places a higher importance on RC which is something that impacts me greatly since my range is from -3 to -6, and a -6 in RC on test day pretty much forces me to only miss 1 question just to get a 170. I'm working on RC but I'm not sure I can drop a -4 to a more reasonable score.

For the record, when I last took the LSAT I was pting around 171 and with my current pt's I really want to be done with the LSAT. Apologies if it seems like a flex, but I'm more concerned with underperforming what I seem to be able to get. Also due to recent strides in RC from an average of -5.1 (a little worse since I'm discounting some tests that I can't find records of) to this I was a little optimistic.

I'm not really sure, maybe I don't have much of a choice and have to take the October or cancel, which I'm not going to do, I'd rather just take it, but I thought I'd ask for advice.

Thanks in advance! Good luck in your journey, if you have any questions otherwise feel free to ask.

Edit: Thanks for your responses everyone, if you did have questions about LSAT tips or anything I'm happy to answer but now I'm confused, the test change link is for 2018....as in the dates are referring to test date changes from 2018 on the petition to change my test date.

Hey! I am having a strange technical glitch on a prep test I just finished (PT 46). After I completed the timed test I went back to complete the BR. I noticed that it indicated that I left several questions blank as the grey color was not filled in on the bubbles. This occurred on section 2 LR (q21-25) and on section 4 LG (q 9-22). This is not possible because I finished each section with time to spare and double checked that each question had an answer selected. I really hope this can be fixed and my answers can be restored because I a few hours on this PT and would like to start the BR and get an accurate picture of my results. I am taking the LSAT on October 3rd so this is a critical time. PLEASE HELP ASAP.

Whenever I try to print out the pdf version of a preptest or problem set it says that the site is having technical difficulties and I am unable to view it. Is anyone else having this problem?

Can I still change my October Flex for the November Flex? I am applying to Law schools this fall but I feel I could really benefit from the extended time. Thanks!

Has anyone who took their LSAT writing results on September 3rd or later gotten their writing sample accepted? Worried at this point that my session has been flagged which is entirely possible because I had my backpack in the corner of my room which apparently triggers their system.

Hoping it goes through before the 18th so I can get my results back for August...

I noticed earlier that the website was down for me. The website has been working for a few hours, but I did a PT and when I went to do blind review most of my answers hadn't saved. Now that I'm doing blind review, my answers are still not saving. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi all. I took my LSAT Writing sample for the August 2020 test at the beginning of September. With 18 minutes on the clock, the program froze and deleted everything I had written. I speed rewrote my essay but obviously it wasn't the best it could be. When I got the receipt of my essay, I saw a typo, too. I called LSAC the next day and told her about my issue and asked to reset it, and she said she would. Now it's September 16 and I'm still not seeing any change under my LSAT Writing tab. Score release is supposed to be in two days.

I'm on the phone with LSAC again and the lady (who is super nice) told me that she had no record of me asking to reset my sample and if I reset it now, I may not get my August score back until October 7. I'm signed up for the October LSAT so obviously I'd like to get my August LSAT back before then. She read my sample and told me that it's really good and told me there was only one typo in it. Is is worth resetting my sample? I'm applying with a low GPA so I really want every other part of my application to be the best it could possibly be, but I'm wondering if I'm just putting too much energy into something that's not really worth it. It is unscored, after all.

Whenever I try to see the pdf of a problem set I made, it says, the website is having technical problems.

Apologies if this isn’t the right place for this question.

On my LSAC profile and on applications I have been selecting two race/ethnicities, one of which is categorized as a URM and the other a non-URM. I’m curious if that’s something that would affect my applications/status (would I be considered a URM?), and if I could expect a URM boost. I have a little bit of a non-traditional app so I’m trying to account for everything correctly when using the predictor tool to help figure out where to apply and what my chances might be.

Thanks.

Hey guys, I just designed my own problem set for reading comp and when I came back to review my answers I couldn't figure out how to view that specific problem set that I designed for myself. It isn't in existing problem sets and when I add those passages it just seems to be giving me a fresh copy?

I'm trying to figure out how to review my own answers :(

Thanks!

Hey everybody, If anyone needs any help with LG I can help increase your score! I’ve done all the available games through 7Sage (I think 380 games in total). Please please message me if you need help!

Hello all,

I hope you are all doing well with studying for whatever month you decide on taking the LSAT. I have signed up for November and will most likely take January, and was wondering if at this point in your study cycles you seem to have "rougher" days than others? For the past few days my LR and RC sections have been very strong as I have averaged -1 to -5 which is pretty good for me. However, there seem to be some days that it really does not click, and I will do much (!!) worse than usual. I do not know if this is maybe me burning out or simply having a bad day, but wanted to see if others were in the same boat approx 2 months out from game day. Thank you and good luck studying!!

Heyyy

just wondering if anyone have had the experience of unexpected quit from the PSI Secure Browser for LSAT Writing? don't know what happened but when i reopened the app it asks for an exam code and the link from the LSAC website does not work any more. called the technical services but have been held in line for more than 20 min now.

any help or sharing of similar experience would be greatly appreciated!
