It might be the lack of coffee, or alternatively the 8 hrs of study so far, but for some reason I am having trouble translating this sentence.

(The tariff classification of an item should depend primarily on how the item is marketed)

I am translating it as.... tariff classification ---> How Item is marketed..

This is wrong though since I missed this question. It appears the correct translation is

How item is marketed----> tariff classification

I am utterly confused.. Please help.

Today I PT'ed a 172... something I thought I would never ever see. My diagnostic was a 157. I'm taking the August LSAT and this really gives me hope that I can actually do this and that Prep Test 63 wasn't an abnormally easy one... fingers crossed!! I am so happy

I've recently began simulating the LSAT Flex during my practice tests and have noticed that my scores are quite a bit lower than my regular practice test scores. Is there a reason why this might be?

Looking at my academic report and wondering which GPA schools are looking at. Or do they care about both?

Sent in my transcripts two weeks ago and they were processed today without sending me an email. Just an FYI for those wondering about when theirs will be processed!

Hi everyone,

I've been blessed to have seen a 10+ point jump and am now pt'ing mid to high 160s.

My goal is 168, but I would love to consistently get over 170 in PT to account for any nerves for the actual test in October.

I usually miss the 4/5 or 5/5 difficulty questions and I review them to see why I got them wrong. Somehow, I keep getting a lot of them wrong. I usually get 0 or -1 on LG and -5 in LR, (-7 if I misread/misinterpret the easier questions). RC is ... a flip of the coin for me. I usually get -5~-7 wrong haha....(RC is my worst section :'( ) Seems like I really need to improve LR and RC.

I would love any advice! I've been doing 2~3 PTs per week, but my test is in October and would like to do more in September to grind. How can one confidently attack those 5/5 difficulty LR questions? Should I just take 4/5~5/5 difficulty questions every day? and if you saw improvements in RC, what would you recommend?

Thanks everyone :) and those who are in the same boat... let's keep trying hard!!!

I'm planning on taking the lsat early 2021 (applying fall 2021). I'm trying to increase my score by 20 points (shooting for high 160s). I'm looking for an accountability buddy and hopefully we can motivate each other as we complete the core curriculum =)

I know nobody knows what course the pandemic will take, but even when things slow down, do we think that the LSAT flex may still be offered long-term? For example, I'm looking at taking it April 2021, and was wondering if LSAC has hinted at the long-term nature of the flex. Any info would be appreciated!

I am planning on taking the LSAT in April and/or June of 2021. My goal is to complete the core curriculum by December and then spend the months leading up to the test brushing up on skills and drilling a Practice Tests. Is this a realistic time frame? My ultimate goal is to get at the very least a 160 but willing to put in all the work I need to get a 165-170. I started this course on August 10, but started reading the PowerScore Bibles over quarantine in April, May, and June.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Good luck everyone!

Hi all (especially those who've taken the LSAT already):

I find myself really relying on the highlighter tool in the 7Sage interface during RC. I tried w/o highlighting and it just seemed a lot harder. Is there a similar functionality in the actual LSAT interface? Or will I have to get used to not being able to highlight?

I am registered for the August 30th LSAT FLEX, but I'm not quite where I want to be and want to withdraw from the exam. However, it says I can't withdraw from the exam so I am considering just not taking it and it being marked as an "absence." Would this mean that I would lose my option to use the first-time score report cancel option on the October LSAT? #help.

Are there any major differences between the format of the exam we will take on test day versus the Prep Tests done on the 7sage website? For example, will test takers be able to grey out answer choices the same way we can on the 7sage PTs? Also, will test takers be able to view question numbers at the bottom of the screen, seeing which ones are unanswered or starred?

I just took my first prep test (Jun 1991). I scored a 162 before BR and a 171 after BR (did well in LG and did the worst in CR). I am aiming to break 170 in October, but am not sure what tests to focus on now. Should I take 1-35 in the drill material? Or skip to PT 36 and continue on from there?

I am planning on taking one almost every day until September 7. After that, I will at least take 3-4 a week until the test.

Any advice would really help!!!

I have a 3.82 GPA but I just read on the LSAC website that incompletes are included in the calculation of your GPA if the school indicates credits attempted and the grade is considered punitive. Now I'm freaking out because I had to take 4 incompletes for medical reasons. But I finished all my incompletes on time and they don't show up anywhere on my official transcript. Is this going to hurt me???

Is there anything I can do between now and the August LSAT to bridge this gap? RC used to be my best subject. I don't run out of time. I do the same methods every time I take it. Yet results widely vary. Please advise. My LG and LR are consistent with little variance (except improvement over time) and so RC is literally gatekeeping me. I scored 159 on July LSAT. On my practice tests when I score well on RC I am getting around 165. This is making me cry. Had my lowest PT today in a long time (156) because of the - 13 on RC.

Not because I'm a masochist but because my undergrad grades were absolute garbage I am trying to score as high as possible on the LSAT. I'm PTing in the 170's now, but ideally want a 176 or better in a desperate bid for full/near full rides at lower T14`s/top 25's. Is anyone else working towards/has worked towards those kind of numbers? Do you have advice? Are you looking for a study partner? How do you feel about the Flex? I know my most recent PT was a 174, but as a Flex could have been anywhere from a 170 to a 178 depending on which of the five sections was included. I can't decide if that should stress me out or give me confidence.

I don't know if I'm going insane, but I would love some help.

I have the LSAC 10 official preptest books. I'm scoring WAY higher (10 points) using the books than I am on the Kahn academy online tests....

My best guess is on the physical book, I can cross out answers I know are wrong & I can't do that online. Maybe I'm getting the correct letter confused because I can't remove it from my view.

Does any one else have this issue?

Looking for a study buddy to work with mostly Saturday and Sunday, Monday if you have it off too. I have been working on LSAT prep for 1 year now, I'm just coming out of 7Sage Core Curriculum and hoping to take the test November (depending on where I'm at on my PTs), or January. My last PT, six months ago, was in the mid-130s. I'm aiming at 160s.

I'm currently working on taking untimed practice sections for LR, I'm doing Fool Proof for LG, and doing untimed RC. To be honest, I'm hoping to work with someone to hold me accountable for BR because doing it alone has been difficult. If anyone is in a similar situation or would just like to work with me, message me, lets get to know each other and see if we can partner up for this journey!

Dear 7Sagers,

I hope to keep this very brief. I took the July LSAT Flex and received a 150, however I was only able to successfully complete two of the games during the exam. I seem to truly struggle with finishing logic games in the time allowed. I have the August LSAT flex on September 2nd, my goal score is 155+. My highest PT was a 161, I would say I'm average in LR and RC, during LR I usually complete most if not all the questions rather confidently then realize there's a fine line between the correct answer and the wrong one that I chose. Where should I direct my studies before my exam, would completing all 4 games successfully help me achieve my score. Are there any tips in developing consistency? I do devote time to studying but I feel like there is no gradual improvement and with my test coming up in nine days I am truly starting to feel burnt out and under pressure. I understand the scores above may not be as high as people usually hope to achieve but understanding my needs and my realistic expectations this is what I am trying to accomplish.

Thank you all in advance and best of luck to everyone.

hi guys,

i am taking the august flex this weekend, and i am registered for the october flex. i chose the october one because i want to be able to apply as early as i can, but now i am thinking that between the august test to the october test will not be enough time for me to improve by much, especially with going back to school full time. i've been reading a lot of different things about applying early vs scoring even one point better and i am not sure what to do. powerscore says that it is much more better to have a higher score and apply in december (thats probably when i would end up applying after the november test) rather than apply early with a score lower than your potential. but i am still unsure. is it a big difference from applying by the end of october to applying mid december?

thank you for any advice, i appreciate it and good luck to all who are taking the flex this weekend :)
