So I have taken the June 2007 Preptest twice. The first time I took it was over a month ago (I didn't know about 7Sage yet) and I just printed it out on paper and completed it on paper. The second time was part of the week 1 7sage schedule and I scored 5 points less, despite about 3 weeks of studying methods from the LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim. Can anyone reassure me that taking the exam/reading on a screen can impact your score if you're used to paper exams and do you have any tips on how to overcome this?

I took the LSAT today and I realized that I misdiagrammed one of the games entirely. It could be the case that I still got a couple of them right, but I am trying to decide whether I cancel my score or not.

I have a 169 from the July LSAT, and I was hoping to submit applications after receiving this score back. I am worried that if I missed all the questions from one game, I might not get a score higher than 169. I want a score in the 170's. If I cancel my score or if I get a score at or below 169, and take again in November (October deadline has passed), I worry about my application being turned in a month and a half later than when I had planned to turn it in. I also worry about committees seeing that I took the test three times in one year.

Any advice is welcome!

Hi all,

I realize this is probably a silly question but I'm a first-time test-taker and I'm a bit confused. Can you choose which LSAT score you send to schools, or will they see the scores of all of your attempts? I ask this because I don't really see the point in paying for a "score preview" if you are able to choose which score to send. Why would you cancel a score for a test you paid for? Wouldn't you want to see how you did, regardless of how poorly you may have done? Thanks in advance! :)

I will be taking the October flex test on my laptop. I'm in the habit of using my L/R arrow keys to jump to the next question in 7Sage, but I am curious if I'll be able to do that on the real thing. (Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't find anything about it on the LSAC site.)

Hey 7Sagers!

I am reaching out through this forum to ask for some advice. I am a Canadian student and I wrote the LSAT-Flex in July 2020. I scored a 171, but now I am wondering if I should rewrite.

Here are some facts about my case:

So my question is essentially should I rewrite the LSAT to get a better score? Am I being unrealistic with my target schools with this score?

Thanks so much for any help you can provide!

Hi guys -

Since the Flex will only count 3 sections (75 questions I'm guessing), do we have an idea of how this scale will work? Roughly, do we know how many can one get wrong in order to still score a 170, 165, 160, etc.

Past Flex-takers, please weigh in if you know anything since you've received your scores!

Hi Guys! I keep taking LSAT practice tests and my score remains the same - 140. I really want to take the LSAT in November as I am already registered, is 2 month enough time to raise my score to a 155? Does reviewing practice tests help a lot in increasing scores? I am getting the hang of logic games pretty well and reading comprehension I am not worried about. The logical reasoning section is really hard for me. Does anyone have any tips? I really want to start applying for law school but I feel like I will never reach my goal. HELP!

Since the October test is gonna be Flex, are you guys taking PTs with 3 sections of 4?

I took the August LSAT a few days ago and am planning on retaking it in October just to be safe. Should I apply as soon as possible, even if I don't know all of my scores yet, or submit at the end of October once I know both scores?

I just applied to a few law schools today. I'm already feeling anxious about waiting for decisions. I know I most likely won't hear back for months.

If any of you have applied to law school in the past, when did you hear back? Also, if anyone has any advice on how to relax while waiting, I'd love to know!

For some reason, I'm having a lot of trouble with Main Point questions for RC. I read about a strategy that involved trying to identify how many paragraphs the AC for a Main Point question encompasses to help narrow down between several options.

However, I've just run into an issue with PT 74 RC Passage 2 Question 9, where the correct AC completely skipped a paragraph in which the author laid out several reservations regarding the effectiveness of a technique he discussed in the rest of the passage. I had eliminated that AC on my first passed using the passage structure technique, so I'm skeptical that it's a good approach.

I'm curious about I) how much a correct AC can overlook for main point questions? 2) any suggestions or techniques you might have for choosing between two answer choices for RC when stuck.

Thanks!

Does anyone know the support number or email of lsac? my test crashed and i lost valuable time, hoping for a retake

November Study Group:

Hello! Im currently looking to create a study group for people looking to improve their scores and work together. I'm currently in the mid 160s and would like to try to get over 169++. I was thinking we could do some practice tests apart or together and then review sections/questions and general tips/strategies. Google Hangouts works well for this. I am currently deployed in Japan however, so timing would have to be worked around, but a small group of serious students would be appreciated. I am willing to be flexible to with timing and location once we get a few people together.

Additionally, I have scanned pdf copies of about 20 or so practice tests that I am willing to share if people do not have them.

I also have my own notes I keep updated which I can share as well.

Is there a way to run an analysis of the Preptests I've already taken to determine my most commonly missed question types? My results have been very inconsistent, so I have been having a hard time figuring out what I should be spending the most time studying.

This is random, but!

Does anyone internalize it when a law school emails you and tells you they'll waive the application fee? Is that their way of saying they want you there, and you'd be very likely to get accepted if you apply?

I'm gearing to take the LSAT for the second time, but I'm getting emails from all these schools that I've been considering, and it makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time taking it again and studying like crazy, if I'm already gonna get into the schools I want to get into.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I planned to apply for the 2019 - 2020 cycle and my LSAT didn't go as well. Now that I am scoring near my goal score with a significant 20 point improvement I will be applying this upcoming cycle but wondered if it is ok to use one of my old LORs from Dec 2019. The LOR that I am thinking of is from a professor who taught me years ago in undergrad and is now the president of a Fortune 500 so pretty busy...I've asked for several letters from him in the past as well so was thinking to just use his letter that is already on my LSAC account from December 2019 which he stated was very detailed. Has anyone used an older letter or have any advice regarding this? This would be the only letter from undergrad which I've been out of for about 3 - 4 years so I cannot replace it. The other letters will be more current from my now workplace and a gap year fellowship.

Hey guys, Can anyone PTing in the 170s help me craft a study plan for the last month. I have all my PT trends well mapped on the analytics section.

Thank you in advance

Hey guys! Starting this for general questions, comments, concerns regarding fall 2021 admissions and decisions! Feel free to comment where you’re applying and for those who have been through already, when can the rest of ya expect decisions?

I remember vaguely a teacher in high school telling us to read the answers from E to A for the ACT. Could the same apply for the LSAT? I feel like A is a common place for trap answers.

Hello everyone,

I have spent the past 10 days focusing mostly on RC. I am having a great deal of trouble with this section. JY's low-res summary has not helped me one bit. I am having great troubles understanding the passage before moving into the questions. I have started looking into possible tutors to help develop strategies that will help me. I had a call with a company called "Varsity Tutors" today, they gave me a quote of $1200 for 12 hours of 1 on 1 instruction time. The price seems absolutely ludicrous given the amount of supervision.

I'm feeling defeated at this point, and any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi guys-

I took the August LSAT Flex this past Saturday, and am not confident the score will be where it needs to be. I preemptively registered for October's test (though, now also as a Flex test, can push to November), and am struggling with best steps to study for the next 4+ weeks.

Any advice/insight for structuring is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hello! My name is Bruce and I study for the LSAT 4-5 times a week. I am very serious about my studies! I am currently completing PT's at about the 150 range and would love to collaborate with another person to help boost my score. I am preparing for the November LSAT Flex! Please leave your email and I will get back to you promptly! :)

Hello 7sagers! I am having trouble selecting a topic for my personal statement. Does anyone have a good personal statement they would be willing to let me read or just any advice in general? Thanks :)

Wondering if anyone has any helpful tips on how to balance a full course load in undergrad with studying. I began studying late February and made huge improvements over the summer while i could focus completely on the LSAT, but now with classes starting up again a lot more has been added to my days. I am hoping to test in November and want to keep improving these next two months before then. Thanks!
