Hi all, posting here to share my experience with the tech issues in Writing. It look me 4 hours of back and forth with ProctorU and LSAC technicians to figure things out, but I finally finished it. I want to share my experience here so folks don't have to go through the same struggles. For context, I took it with my laptop closed, connected to an external monitor, and I used a webcam.

Once you click on "launch the test" from your LSAC page, you'll be directed to install ProctorU extension on Chrome, and then you'll do a pre-check via a ProctorU interface. During the last step, you'll be directed to the "exam lobby". Once you click on "start testing", you'll see the LSAC interface to start the test. Before you start the test, you'll be prompted another Proctor U interface to do a 360-camera pan of your room. Once you are done with that, you'll read the LSAC acknowledgement, and start the writing test.

My lessons learned:

  1. Test your camera beforehand, make sure it can take a focused image of your ID: I had a cheap webcam that couldn't focus on my ID. My laptop integrated camera couldn't either. I first connected with a real proctor to check my ID. However, by the time we finished checking everything, the LSAC writing page had already expired. I ended up having to call LSAC to cancel my first launch, starting a new link, and then borrowing my friend's Logitech 920.

  2. Pre-check: the program will not let you go back to earlier steps once you take your photo and ID photo. If your camera is weird during this process (I think mine was trying to use the laptop's integrated camera, which was closed) - please do not clear cache or refresh page during this pre-check. Call and connect with a technician, they'll take over the screen to help you.

  3. Register for ProctorU beforehand: you can register with ProctorU beforehand, and once you log in, you can also do a system check to make sure things are good.

Best of luck everyone! Hope everyone has a smooth testing experience.

Hi, I’m looking for a budget friendly tutor to help me break into the 160s by October. I’m currently scoring 153-157ish range and really would like to get to the mid 160s. I am able to study full time every day with the exception of saturday where I only can for an hour or so. I’d say I struggle most with RC and resolve/explain the most. I’m hoping to find a tutor for a session or two a week until October with weekday availability and budget friendly pricing as I have the fee waiver. Let me know what you all have to offer, thank you!!

I am having such a hard time reviewing practice tests by myself. I feel like I become so unmotivated. I feel like it could be super beneficial to get a group together and take the same practice test during the week then join a zoom to review the test. Would anyone be interested in this?

What to do the week of LSAT

obviously, my study routine is not going to be the same the week of my LSAT. I'm taking it in less than a month in September, so I'm wondering what is recommended during the days prior. is it recommended to continue studying like normal but take some days off? or to cut study time in half the days leading up to it? Let me know! any other advice of how to prepare for the test mentally leading up to the test is welcomed too.

Is it possible to look at game history? I know there’s a way to look at questions we did immediately but I was wondering if we can go back and look at the history (I exited by accident a couple times, also sometimes I want to back and look at the question I did wrong again)

Also would be nice/more motivating to see our past game scores

BR breakthrough

I've been stuck at 161 for three separate tests now and its been VERY frustrating but I finally got my BR to hit my goal score!! Went from -3 to 0, -6 to -3, -8 to -1, and then -4 to -2. I keep running into an issue where I do so well on the first few RC passages (-0, -2, -0) and then I don't bank enough time to get through the last passage and have to rush through it in 4 minutes. That's really the main section I need to close the gap on I've noticed, because my LR scores have continuously improved even with time, so I guess it's time to just speed drill RC until september 😭. Doable within a month?? I feel like it could be because I've identified the main issue there

Hi!

I am currently scoring in this 166-169 range and I am looking to break into the 170's. I recently took the August LSAT (my first one) and am signed up for September as well. I am open to taking October. My diagnostic was a 154 and I have been studying since March, although only consistently since about the middle of May.

I find myself struggling with RC the most, and for LR, I seem to have trouble with flaw, strengthen/weaken questions, and conditional reasoning.

I am looking for a few sessions over the next few weeks before the September test.

Thank you!!!!

I got my first 170+

Dawg I legit double fist pumped in the middle of the library. I just wanted to celebrate this because if I could get this score on my test in September, it would legitimately be life changing.

I am feeling so frustrated. I takes a timed test and am barely scraping into the 150s, I will then look at my BR and it will be a 169-170+. I have drilled, reviewed conditional logic, and quantifiers as I have recognized this is what slows me down, but I feel defeated. I do have an issue with wanting to look at all answer choices before moving on so I go over 90 seconds per question. However, even with spending all that time, I get it wrong. When I WAJ my explanations are spot on and I have so many “omg duh” moments. If anyone has any advice I would love to hear it. I really want to apply to law school this cycle so anything helps🙏🏻

Making Progress in RC!!!

Hi all!!!

I just had to share this! So I admit my LR sections actually were not good in this PT, but I have been trying for months to improve my RC scores of the PT tests!

I literally have never been able to get a perfect score on a single passage and never had time to even start the last section!

This is honestly a major mile stone that I could get this level of accuracy and at least have some time to start Q4!

Still some ways to go, but I am so happy with my progress and for anyone struggling in RC, just know that you can and will get there!

So, I've been practicing for months, and while my PT scores have been consistently in the low 160's (which is fine by me!) however my BR results are almost always 10+ points higher. I have no idea how to close the gap even a little bit, and in fact my LR scores have been getting worse! I get these results even when I take the test untimed. I have started my wrong answer journal as well, so maybe I just need more time with that. Any tips?

My goal score is 160, my recent trend in my last 3 PTs all put me around 160 (161, to 162 to 160) after consistently being in 150s. Which is definetly good, and im very proud of myself for hitting this milestone. I just wanted to share a positive thing, and maybe motivate others to keep at it, because this is hard, the LSAT isnt easy, you're brave for taking on such a significant challenge, so be proud of yourself everytime you score a point higher. I started really low, so if I can do it you can too...

Not sure if anyone else has this issue and if it just my laptop, but when I got to highlight a word or phrase, this Windows select menu appears hovering over the "highlight" option. This is a minor bug, but the extra 1-2 seconds that takes me to unhighlight and reclick the highlight tool adds up over time to the RC section.

I was wondering if this issue could be looked into and resolved?

Thanks!

As of recently, whenever I am drilling in the 7sage android app, then tab over to another app, and then tab back, the app freezes and that loading refresh br thing at the top of the screen shows up, and keeps buffering, but never succeds. So, I keep having to manually close and reopen the app to force the refresh. I'm assuming this refresh thing is to maintain a net connection for access to the legally protected LSAC questions? It used to happen before but it usually refreshed after a few seconds, now it almost always gets stuck indefintly. Happens independet of wifi, cell, or service quality.

Hello! I was wondering if I do not 100% understand a certain question type through my guided study plan, if I should try to master it before I move on to the rest of the question types? Or should I move on with a general understanding and then after I complete all the LR modules, go back to the specific question types where my accuracy is lower and focus on those? Just for guidance, I completed my foundations module, and now I am halfway through the LR module, and I plan to take my LSAT in January 2027.

Hi everyone, I live in Arlington and work in the Irving Coppell area. Looking for a study partner/group. I have adhd so body doubling is the best way to get me to study. Looking for someone who can study together in silence but can also talk out difficult questions with me whenever we are confused. We can study virtually and in person whatever works best.

Hello! I took my Argumentative Writing Section on August 10th and I still have not heard anything about whether my sample was approved or not and I was wondering if this was normal? For context, my friend also took the Argumentative Writing Section on the same day and got her sample approved a few days ago. I checked my status on the LSAC website and my results are currently pending. Is the longer wait normal, or does it mean that my sample was potentially flagged?

Looking to build an in-person LSAT study group in Arizona for people currently scoring around the low 140s who are seriously aiming for the high 160s/170+.

I’m hoping to find a small group of people who are willing to actually study consistently, review mistakes, do timed sections/PTs, etc..

Looking for:

  • Arizona-based and able to meet in person

  • Currently around 140–145ish

  • Goal of 165–170+

  • Willing to study consistently

  • Open to explaining questions and learning from each other

  • Interested in timed sections, blind review, and full PT review

I’m thinking Chandler/Tempe/ASU area, but I’m open to coordinating based on where everyone is located.

If you're in a similar score range, comment your approximate score, goal score, and what area of Arizona you're in so we can see if we can put together a small group! To meet in library's or cafes!
