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!

Hey,

I just wanted to get people's advice for breaking a plateau. The last 7 tests I have taken, I have scored exactly 155 each time. I am registered for the October 3rd LSAT and I want to get a 160. Is it even possible to improve by 5pts in a month? My anxiety is through the roof right now because I feel like I am not improving. Any advice? I am super strong in LR, okay at LG and abysmal at RC.

Hello!

I am looking for a study buddy so that we can motivate each other and also work through/review some difficult questions together. I believe mental wellbeing is super important, so I would prefer working with someone who is a good communicator that has (or tries) to have a positive attitude toward the LSAT!

I have gone through the Powerscore LG and LR Bibles, LSAT Trainer, JY's LG videos, and Loophole. I have completed every PT from 50-89....and working on foolproofing LG

I would say my weakest section is RC and strongest section is LG, but I really want to do well in every section because each part is weighted equally now.

Please message me or comment if you're interested! Thanks :)

Also open to tutor recommendations (especially those that have experience helping retakers)

Was anyone else interrupted during the exam? I began my exam with reading comprehension. I tend to go -3/-4 on this section. I read the first passage and move on within four minutes. During the second passage, I was reading the second paragraph when all of a sudden my exam closed. I know that it was NOT my connection because I was on google chrome which was functioning perfectly, and my sister was in class, also using our WiFi.

I FREAK OUT

All of a sudden, my proctor says "we lost connection" but on who's end because it surely was not mine. I begin the test AGAIN, and start where I left off. At this point, I re-read the second passage because I had forgotten what I had read. I'm trying to relax when all of a sudden I receive an INCOMING call from a woman, I assume she's LSAC staff because she was not my proctor. She says she needs to view my room once again. I stand, show the room, and resume my exam. I have to RE-READ AGAIN, because of the interruption. At this point I'm like at 25-26 minutes. I was extremely frustrated.

I RECEIVE ANOTHER INCOMING CALL...

The lady on the phone says, "do you need a minute?" so you're telling me I WAS INTERRUPTED AGAIN FOR THAT?

At that point I tell her I'm fine, and I would like to resume. I continue my exam when I watch the time and I'm on about minute 22 and I am STILL reading the second passage. At this point I move on and freaking out because I feel like I just wasted so much time. This was my far the worst section because it felt like I guess on so many question.

The following section was LG which was so easy. However, there was ANOTHER interruption. I see the ProctorU icon on the bottom of my screen jumping. Keep in mind, the chat window is on the other screen. I switch to my other screen

(YES, TIME IS RUNNING STILL), and I have a message from my proctor asking me to lower my camera because she can''t see my chin, (I was looking down because of games duh). She responds "great!" and as I am reading to confirm, my time is still running. All of a sudden, I GET ANOTHER INCOMING CALL, where the woman laughs and says "I see you proctor told you to fix it hahaha!" I kid you not, I wanted to cry at this point.

Is there anything I can do? I am so frustrated. I typically score about 165 but with reading comp going this bad, there's no way.

Hello when I was originally applying to law school, I was going to apply my senior year of college and so my professors from my major and my two minors wrote me letters based on my performance up until the fall of my senior year. Those letters are up on LSAC/CAS already. Should I ask them to update it since I graduated in May 2019 and did classes that spring? As well as have worked since then? I have been working since I graduated, should I include/ ask my supervisors from my position for a letter?

Hi guys. I am taking my LSAT tomorrow and honestly do not know what to expect. My score fluctuates so much every single test and I don't know what this means. For example, Monday I took a test and got a 157. Yesterday I took one and got a 165 (my highest ever)! But I am fluctuating between 157-165 now and I just don't know what to expect for tomorrow. I want to score at least a 160 but I am freaking out. Does anyone know why such big fluctuations may be happening?

Hi there! I'm really struggling with finishing sections on time, and hoping someone might be able to offer me some advice. I have been consistently drilling and reviewing LR/RC (I keep a wrong answer journal for LR) and do each logic game I encounter two times at a minimum (once as a dry run, and again upon watching an explanation video until I am able to complete it within the recommended time on 7 sage). I have been studying for 4 months now, and cannot seem to finish sections on time. Going 15 mins over per section, I got a 166 on PT 73. I am well aware that I will have to finish within the allotted 35 minutes on test day, and did go into the test with the mindset that I would only have 35 minutes (I just decided it would be a best to finish the remaining questions, and by no means count this test as representative of my actual scoring ability under timed conditions). Currently, I am able to do the first 10 in 10 minutes with near perfect (if not perfect) accuracy on LR, but its the later questions that seem to eat up my time (I'm usually able to finish the remaining questions with an additional 5 minutes or less, but this was one of my first tests in the 70's and I found LR a bit more challenging than the 50's/60's). For LG and RC, I am only ever able to finish 3/4 games/passages with decent accuracy. I feel like I have exhausted all study methods (10/10 method for LR, using a wrong answer journal, reading passages in order of interest/familiarity, etc. ) beyond simply drilling and reviewing. Sorry in advance for the long post, I'm just really at a loss for what next steps to take to reach the 160's timed, and then hopefully the 170's. For reference, I took PT 38 untimed and scored a 172, and took PT 77 timed and scored a 158 (left many questions unanswered).

Hi all,

I'm writing because I am curious if anyone knows whether law schools care to see an upward trend in undergraduate GPA. My first two years were tough and I spent my later years working hard to earn mostly A's and a few B's just to raise my GPA. My final GPA is a 3.05. I am dedicated to law school and want to showcase my growth as a student and as an individual. I sat down with one of my recommenders and he said that he would like to touch on the financial issues I had as a young college student that affected my grades during the first two years. I am wondering if that is enough, or if I should touch on it in my personal statement, or write an addendum to bring light to the upward trend. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, everyone. I tried opening the "Get Acquainted With LSAT Writing" tool from my LSAC account. The program started recording me and gave me a "pre-exam advisory" about the exam rules. Does this sound right or did I somehow launch the actual exam?

English isn't my first language, and therefore I tend to read a bit slower than the average native speaker in order to fully comprehend what I'm reading. As a result, I usually find myself barely able to complete the RC section on time, and on average getting -4 to -6 from RC during PTs. This problem occasionally occurs during LR as well, but I find it most common for RC.

As a result, I've started to mix up the order in which I do the four RC passages, starting with the one with most questions, and (barely) ending with the one with the fewest questions. Does anyone know if this method is a good idea? And does anyone have any other good tips on pacing during RC? Thx

Hi people,

So up until about 4 days ago I was feeling quite good about taking the flex: I had just scored a PB and was feeling confident. Then I got the flu and I things went to shit. Essentially I haven't done much studying the past few days and I write tomorrow.

I'm still not feeling the best and I can't decide whether or not I should try to power through and do some review today, or just to try to recover and hopefully be feeling better for tomorrow. Four days without studying after 4 months of studying every day feels like, well, a long time. I'm not sure what to do here.

Would appreciate some advice.

I took the LSAT a year ago and consistently scored in the mid/high 150s. Now I'm scoring significantly lower (10 point drop) and I don't know why. I've finished the core curriculum and thought I understood everything, but I guess not. October will be my third retake and I'm starting to think it's time to give up on law school.
