A couple of August test takers, including me, experienced difficulty logging into our Proctor U accounts despite having already registered for a time slot. Called LSAC earlier today and my issue has been resolved this evening. Since the test is coming so soon, please double check if you are able to log into Proctor U and that your time slot is secure to avoid any last minute hustles. Best of luck to everyone!

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if someone who wrote an LSAT flex could help me understand something. I'm wondering so a proctor will be someone who is basically looking at me while I do the exam, will they know not to speak/bother me during the exam? I also have some things in my room like a clock, do you guys think it's best I cover it/remove it from the wall? While waiting for a proctor, are we able to run to the bathroom or do we have to sit waiting? Thanks! #help

I was born in Guatemala, and have lived here in the US for the majority of my life as undocumented. I am a part of an indigenous community back home. I have seen that many people consider URM as Mexican/African American... so what am I?

Hi everyone. I need some advice on reading comp and whether or not I should do the core curriculum. I'm doing fine in PTs and BR. I get -3 at most and then BR -0. I have no issues with timing either. So do I go for the "don't fix it if it ain't broke" approach, meaning things are ok so let things be. Or should I go over the core curriculum because there are benefits to new approaches and I will probably pick up some useful tips (maybe at this point only very marginally useful).

The issue is, it will be quite time consuming to go over RC CC, time I can invest in firming up LR and LG. My goal is -0 in RC and I think I can do that on my own, whereas LR and LG definitely need more practice. Please advise!

I tried a practice test shortly after starting 7sage to see how the interface looked and felt, with no intention of finishing the PT. My score of 120 is sticking around despite not having actually taken the test "for real." Not a big deal, but it's kinda messing with my analytics and the trends I see. Is there anyway to clear this out of the system?

Though these questions don't appear on every PT I tend to go 50/50 on whether or not I get these right. Sometimes the right answer speaks to me, other times I have no clue; either way it's pure intuition and I'm curious if anyone has some advice for how to approach these questions more systematically?

Are there any types of cookie cutter wrong / right ACs?

I'll throw out something that I ~think~ I picked up from looking at one of these questions - an attractive, though albeit wrong, AC is one that is internally coherent (makes sense) but goes off in a tangential direction.

I was making a note to myself that in grouping games, if they tell you there are X amount of groups and they don't give any rules regarding who can go in which group number, then I shouldn't worry about making game boards based on if M can go in groups 1, 2, or 3 because it doesn't matter, as long as it isn't with P.

Don't let the group numbers interfere with your game.

Get it? Game?

Where are my New Yorkers at who would get this?

Hey guys, my name is Kyle and I'm looking to form another study/accountability group. I currently have a group and they are fantastic. However, I'd like to get different points of view when it comes to LR to look and see which thought processes are effective.

I got a 157 diagnostic on my first PT and I am looking to score in the 168-175 range. Let me know if you'd like to form a group!

Hi!

I am working on applying for the 2021 cycle and have, unfortunately, been out of work since March and unable to find work. Would it be advantageous for me to write an addendum for my resume gap or would it be something Ad Comms already assume due to the timeline?

Hello,

I'm really struggling with LR. Im getting approximately -10. I've been studying since march and finished the LSAT trainer but I also work full-time. I don't think I will have time to go over the whole 7Sage curriculum. As such, I'm looking for a tutor for one month to help me prepare for the October LSAT. #help

Hi,

I'm always confused about these questions. I don't understand if the question is asking you all the potential objects that can belong in the group, or the potential objects in the group in one instance.

For example (Prep Test 43, Question 18): "Which of the following could be a complete and accurate list of each of the office buildings that the falafel tuck serves?"

A. X

B. X, Z

C. X,Y,Z

D. Y,Z

E. Z

A, B, and E can be eliminated based on the fact that the stimulus provides that F must serve Y. The answer is D because the question meant "in one scenario". However, I read it as "all the potential trucks" the Falafel truck could serve. In one possibility, F serves Y,X and in another Y,Z. So potentially, F could serve all 3 leading me to answer choice C.

I'm definitely reading this question wrong. Can someone please explain to me the wording difference between when they ask for all potentials vs. in one possibility?

Hi! Looking for a study buddy that is good at logic games and needs help with RC or LR. I am PTing in the mid-160s and want to be at least 170. (LG is what is keeping me away from my this lol) I am taking the October test and am in EST time. I was thinking we could take/review practice tests together. Please message me ^.^

Hi everyone! I'll be taking the LSAT on Monday and I'm freaking out a bit. Everyone keeps telling me i'll be OK and that it's just another test. Frankly for me, it isn't. I am recent college grad in Florida. Graduated with a 4.1 GPA, political science student of the year, won new student organization of the year (founded an org for Latina in my campus community), and I am undocumented. This is the scary part. Public law schools aren't even an option for me, only private. I do not qualify for any merit scholarships from any public institution because of my legal status. If you're wondering i've been in the US for more than 20 years. I decided to go to law school because of a forced relationship I had with the law growing up. This included deportations, and separations within my family. I've never been one to talk about my anxiety but I feel so much pressure and I am afraid this will affect my performance. I have been scoring in the upper 160s. But SO AFRAID.

Any tips on meditating?

I'm from Massachusetts and BC is the only school with the JD/MSW program I want to do. As a back up I am wondering if it would be worth it to apply to this program in other states. UCONN and UMD have this program but I ultimately want to practice law in Massachusetts. I've read its only worth it to go out of state if it's a T14 school, but is it possible to take the bar in a state other than where you went to law school?

Is it okay to ask someone for two letters of recommendation? In addition to law school I am applying to three dual degree MSW programs so I need different letters for those ones and I wanted to make sure if it would be rude or not to ask for both from the same people

Hello,

I am looking for a study buddy who lives within 1-2 hours of my time zone. I am MT and live in Denver. I am looking for a study buddy who would like to go through PT's with me where we would go over our answers and discuss why an answer choice is right or wrong. Furthermore, keep one another accountable. I am currently signed up for the August and October exam. Will be possibly signing up for November as well in case these exams do not go well. I score between 160-165 on PT's and would like to consistently reach 165 and over. On LG I am scoring between 0 and -2. LR I struggle with anywhere from -5 to -10. RC -5 to -10.

Please message me if you are interested in being my study buddy.

Thank you!

Hi! I do significantly better on timed full sections and drills than I do on full exam LR. I really feel like I choke under the pressure and find myself second-guessing questions which I should not be. Does anyone have advice for dealing with the pressure of a full exam?

I'm taking the August test on August 31st, so one week from now. I have been PTing multiple times a week for almost two months. I have beaten the score I want, but have also had some duds underneath it.

Only issue is right now I am so burnt. I never wanna see LSAT stuff again. I don't know if I should take a break or push through and keep studying. I feel like taking a break is not good right now, but believe me that I am so tired of doing LSAT stuff every day.

Is it good to take a break so close to the test?

Hi everyone,

So I just took PT 70 and scored a PB of 158- which is above my target score. I've taken 10 PTs now and generally average in the mid 150s.

I am torn on whether to take a couple more or to just thoroughly BR PT 70 and do full sections until my test on September 2nd. My reasoning for not taking more is that I am kind of riding a high right now, and I'm worried if I take another and perform worse that that could seriously hinder my confidence going into the exam.

On the other side, I've only taken a few of the newer PTs...

I'd appreciate any advice!
