To be concise, I have completed all of my applications, although I am not taking the LSAT until next week. The LSAC website is somewhat ambiguous, or maybe I just failed to find the relevant info., but I am wondering, am I able to electronically submit my applications (CAS) before the LSAT is scored? This is my first time taking the LSAT. Thank you in advance for your help!

I’ve used the search tool, which is just not easy for some odd reason. They used to be nicely displayed under resources tab at top. It seems very hard to find them now...suggestions welcome. Thanks!
Hello,
When does LSAC typically release new test dates? Do they tend to release them in batches or one by one?
Thanks,

I have recently noticed the language difficulty really plays a role in my LSAT score.
Under time pressure, I would not have enough time to read the stimulus and answer choices CORRECTLY to pick the right answer.
This leads me wonder if anyone has experience overcoming the language difficulties in LSAT? What are the things I can do to effectively improve in this area?
Also anyone can weigh in the trend of language difficulty in LSAT these years? I have recently done LR in old LSAT test, 20-40, where language seems to be quite a challenge.
When you apply to Yale or Harvard through the LSAC website. They want you to disclose if you have taken the GRE as well as the LSAT. Is that like a mandatory requirement? Why do we have to disclose this information?
Do they have a way of finding out if you have taken the GRE if you don't disclose that you have? Or is that voluntary admission they want us to do?
So basically when I do a timed test or section I do shit like 11/25 and then I redo it without checking the answers and I get like 18/25. It’s like my own fear of a new section freaks me out. Does this happen to anyone else?! Anybody have suggestions?! I literally know how to do it and do fine but this happens because of my anxiety. Is it worth skimming each Q quickly first before tackling the section. Such a weird problem I know but I’m so close to my goal it drives me insane how I go from 150-160 because of this.
What are the main differences? Thanks so much!
Hi, everyone,
Have trouble with this question. The correct answer choice C adds additional information ("climate fluctuations") which is not provided under the stimulus. Does it mean you can add additional information by guessing, however, this is not reliable technique? How to deal with this sort of questions?
Admin note: minor title edit; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [brief description]"
Hello,
In this particular question I was wondering between C and E.
Answer D is correct, however. I crossed out this question since D does not mention "benzene" and only "formaldehyde".
E choice looks the best because according to the passage, "houseplants remove some household toxins" which means that according to E the quantities will eventually decrease.
Answer C is also attractive since well-insulated house means a "warm" house and the same time "safe" since the houseplants "eliminate danger" as per stimulus.
Please #help
Why my logic is wrong and why the answer is D???
How many games appear on any section ? A quick glance shows not more than 4 games which should total 23-24 questions.
hint is here: http://www.west.net/~stewart/lsat/logic-games-tutorial.htm
So I was doing games from PT 75 and up and the Pt 87,88 and 89 have games that are not the usual ones I was doing for practice. In order to be best prepared for games, are their any drill practice that i should do that can help me to prepare with recent style games?
Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I've been studying with 7Sage for a few weeks and I'm curious about your approach on taking notes and keeping track of your work, especially in terms of LR.
For instance, I used to BR problem sets by thinking to myself or out loud and did not take any notes. But lately I started taking detailed notes of the questions that I had trouble with in the problem sets by writing out the premise/conclusion and explanations for each AC on a Word doc. But I found this to be taking too much time (especially because I feel like I should review almost every question in the set) and I feel like it can become a bit of an overkill. I additionally draw some key diagrams that JY's using in his videos and noting down very minimal stuff, which I can easily review afterwards. But I'm not sure if I can/will review my question notes again.
I wonder if you have any recommendations on how to proceed with note taking/journaling. I would appreciate your insights!
I did a mistake this morning. I wanted to print the tickets but I chose the wrong choice, and mistake withdraw my test in Jan. Is there anyone know what can I do? Can I phone LSAC and ask for save my position?
Thanks for you all!!!! I really need help!!!! I was so stupid!!!!!!
I'm trying to wrap my head around why E counts as a weakener. I understand that this question hinges on this idea of 'city tax revenues'. and that some councillors think that city taxes should have benefits primarily to people who pay them. E theoretically weakens because this means anyone who works in Greenville and earns above a certain minimum has to pay a city wage tax of 5%, meaning they would have to pay the city too and ergo they should benefit from it. But it does require the assumption that these outside commuters are earning above the nationally mandated minimum. Why are we allowed to make this kind of assumption for this question? Or is it not an assumption at all -- rather that even the theoretical possibility of this already constitutes weakening?
I can kind of see that D is out of scope which means it's useless for the argument. Even if we assume that the voters in the city are taxpayers, we don't really care about their thoughts on increasing local taxes, and it doesn't really talk about increasing local taxes in the stimulus at all, just adjusting where those tax dollars go.
Hello all,
I'm currently studying to take the February exam and I have a goal of about 170-172 in mind.
I recently started taking timed practice tests and my average score is around 164-165. When I take practice tests untimed, I score around 168-170. I find myself going over the 35 minutes in reading comprehension and occasionally in logical reasoning.
I have about 1.5 months left of studying and I'm open to trying new techniques to improve my score! If you don't mind sharing your ways with me, I would really really appreciate it!
Thank you~
I am having a hard time accessing the PDF files for the questions. The system tells me to enter a password & when I do it says the password is invalid. I have changed my password 3 times and I’m having no luck accessing them. #pleasehelp
I've been finishing my applications for schools and waiting to hear back from them still. Am I supposed to do the FAFSA right now too or can I wait to complete that after they've admitted me?
I created explanations for the first LR section of PT 89. I also included cookie cutter take aways for each question. Hopefully this is helpful to some! Let me know if you have questions or alternative ways of reasoning; I would love to hear them!

Hi, I understand that UC Davis law school has the following requirement: supplemental material combined with the personal statement must not exceed more than four pages. Supplemental addenda should follow your personal statement and be appropriately labeled within the personal statement document you plan to upload with your application.
With that said, my personal essay is 2.5 pages and my diversity statement is 1.5 pages, so if I combined them, one right after the other, it would meet the maximum. I was wondering if that is acceptable, or if we have to clearly separate the diversity statement in a whole new page?
Thanks!!
I took a diagnostic test on paper, then I circled in my anwers to the answer sheet on 7sage. I also want to circle in my blind review answers, like in the problem sets, so I can get more accurate analytics. I hope this is possible and if so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance on this.
Any idea when these might be available on the site?
Hey guys, hope y'all prep is coming along well. I am currently in the midst of applying to law schools and wanted to know if there was a limit on how many we can apply to. Thanks for the feedback!
I've made a ton of progress on LG over the last two weeks. On my two practice tests, each taken a few months ago, I went -5 and -8, respectively. Over the past week or so of doing LG sections, I've gone -0/-1/-2. However, today I had a really bad section (PT8) where I got -6. Really took a long time (12 minutes) on the first game, which should've been a quick one, and that bit me later as I ran out of time on the last question and had to rush through a few others. Later in the day, however, I took two more sections and went -0 on both, meaning that of the last five sections I've taken (over the past two days), I've gotten four perfect scores and the one -6.
Wondering if anyone has any advice on extracting the lesson from those random really bad LG sections? So far, I'm thinking it was a combo of not being well-rested enough (what with it being New Year's), along with not being very good at overloaded sequencing games, but I'm wondering how I can extract other lessons from the bad section. Thoughts?
Here's to another year of LSAT studying! Let's get those 170s!
