PT 81 RC from the very first section completely threw me off, to the point where I just didn't want to move onto the other sections

I stopped at the last passage because of the not-so-good feeling about the entire rc section.

I know that if I don't continue the pt, it won't be reflective of the actual test condition, but at the same time, I just feel like I'm going to be devastated if I finish the pt and see the result..

Should I just keep drilling other rc passages before I return to PT 81 rc at some point, at other time?

Would this be considered "URM" or more of a diversity statement thing?

Hi all,

Is there a way to see a list of schools that have granted you an application fee waiver through LSAC's website?

I signed up for LSAC/CAS a few years back, but had to postpone applying due to my financial situation. As such, I have tons of emails from various points in time offering application fee waivers, but several don't list expiration dates/I'm certain at least a few got buried in my inbox.

Since the fee waivers are usually automatically applied through LSAC, I assume there is a way to find this information before you actually submit your applications. However, I can't seem to find this in any easily accessible location. I'm trying to keep costs down/may attempt to obtain a waiver from my target schools if they do not proactively offer one, but don't want to make a bad impression by asking for something they already gave me.

Any tips are appreciated - thanks!

Note: I am gathering my admissions materials before starting the applications within LSAC's site. If you have to actually start the formal submission process to see this information, I would not have seen that yet.

Does anyone know where I can find prompts to practice LSAT writing? For some reason, the "Get Acquainted with LSAC Writing" link is throwing me an error on LSAC.

Thanks!

I think avg time taken per question by type would be at least as helpful as "Priority" in assisting studying. I have a custom spreadsheet showing marginal benefit of studying by type of question and would love to have the time data!

So I already have two LSAT scores: 161 and 168. I was scoring high 160s and early 170s on my PTs in preparing for the October flex and aiming for a T 14 school.

But during the first section (LG) I made a stupid mistake and kinda completely lost control over my head. I had a semi-panic attack and legit had to focus on breathing for a few minutes during the entire test. I'm pretty sure that I won't get an over 170 score nor somewhere even close to high-160s, so I'm really confused as to whether I should cancel my score.

Do you think I should cancel? I've heard canceling is for pretty dire situations, but I'm still a bit shocked from how terrible my October experience was. Is it better to have taken the LSAT four times and show score inconsistency, or have three scores with one cancellation?

would appreciate any and all advice!!

I don’t know if anyone knows the answer to this but I am wondering if anyone knows whether you can essentially do macro level social work with a law degree or if you need an MSW? Things like community outreach/research, advocacy and lobbying for social policy change, etc

Does anyone know if we need to somehow “unsubscribe” the lawhub PTs?( I purchased the one-year one along with my monthly 7sage.) Dont want lawhub showing on my bills while grueling through my 1L lol.

I am wondering if it is possible to filter out the questions that I've done wrong from the question bank.

Hey guys,

I am applying to Texas public schools this cycle and I was curious if anyone has any experience on here using the Hazelwood Act. My understanding is that its a state law that grants veterans from Texas a tuition exemption for public school graduate programs. I have talked briefly with admissions people at UT and they confirmed my understanding of the program, and so, being a veteran, I was hoping I could go to law school for free (if I can get admitted, of course). Even though they confirmed how I think the program works, I wanted to post here and see if there were any vets who had gone this route, and if they actually got a complete tuition exemption for their 3 years of law school. To be honest, I can't help but harbor some doubt since the whole program seems too good to be true.

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if I am considered an "international" applicant if I have a bachelor's degree from an American college (well-known, located in the US). I am not a U.S. citizen nor a green card holder. I'm asking if I should check the box "international" when I use these law school predictors on different websites.

I stupidly have not completed the writing sample for the October exam yet but I am doing it today. With the score release day being October 23 and the fact that it can take 1 to 3 weeks to process the writing sample, I am wondering if people think I will get my score on the release day. And if not, since I purchased score preview, will I still be able to potentially cancel it before its released?

How much can be in the room for your lsat writing since they ask you to give a full room scan? Like should I move a bunch of my stuff out of view or do they expect there to be things since you’re doing it at your own house?

When you’re doing a necessary assumption question and an answer choice seems like it would be the answer to a must be true / most strongly supported question does that mean you should eliminate it?

Hello fellow 7Sagers!

Long time reader, first-time commenter, here. I just completed my second LSAT exam. I canceled my first score, which was probably for the best, because of problems related to LSAC. They didn't send enough tablets for my first exam and having to come back and prepare myself for the make-up exam just bummed me out. Anyway, I have been studying for a very long time. I have been planning on taking the LSAT for over three years and have studied (off and on) at different levels of seriousness over that period. I felt super prepared for the exam. I don't know how it would be possible to be more prepared. I consistently scored 172-173 on PTs leading up to my exam date. And, my mistakes were always something silly; a consequence of not paying enough attention to stimuli on easier questions.

During the actual exam, I felt like I was on auto-pilot. I had never experienced that during PTs. I finished each section under time and feel good about LG. But, I have no idea how my LR and RC went. I have read a few posts of other students talking about this same feeling. But, I have not found a post about whether those same students received their expected score. Can someone please tell me if this is a good thing (haha)? I feel like my intuition has been conditioned to choose the correct answer through the course of my studies. But, my post-LSAT anxiety is forcing me to seek the advice of the people more experienced with the harsh reality of real LSAT performances and scores.

Could @"Juliet --Student Service--" or maybe another instructor let me know if this is normal?

Can someone please explain these to me. I don't understand them at all and I have reviewed the lesson over and over again. I always end up picking the SA as my answer. PLEAAASEEEE!!!!!!! #help

I didn't remember any of the inferences or how to diagram the games since I originally took them back when I was really bad, but i did remember taking them, and I'm wondering if i should even count the scores from this preptest as a result.

So I'm currently going through the LG section. I'm curious to know what you guys do after each times LG section. In other words, do you repeatedly do the games until you're able to get the inferences. I'm unsure how to strategize that. Should I finish sections within the LG section and keep retesting the LG games and then move on? I plan to take LSAT in JAN so I'm hoping fixing my issue will help.

Hi all,

As a brief introduction, I took the October-flex thinking that I did not do very well on it. Although I did not have too much trouble with LR and the shredder game, the RC section (the one with Nigerian novel, EMF, privatization, fungus) took me all 35 minutes so I had no time to check on flagged questions, which were about 10 of them. Number wise, I am an extreme splitter with a 3.0-3.5 GPA and 173 LSAT from the August-flex. Due to my extremely low GPA, I wanted to increase my LSAT score slightly more by the October-flex so I will have a better chance in the admission process. Since I do not think I did better on the October-flex and I already signed up for the November-flex, I am pretty much set to try one more time in November.

Here comes my question: If I apply to law schools by the end of October, would schools delay my application when they see that I am taking the LSAT in November? Since splitters' cycles are always unpredictable and law school decisions are on a rolling basis, I really don't want to risk myself if schools would delay reviewing my application. There is no guarantee that I will score better on the November-flex, while delaying my application by a month can really hurt my chance. Further, I believe 173 is still enough to get me into some T20s if my application is reviewed before November. So I really want to make sure that taking the November-flex does not necessarily mean a one-month delay in finished application.

Lastly, I apologize for this lengthy post and any insight is appreciated!

I am clicking the link to link my 7sage account with LawHub, however it isn't working. Does anyone know how to link the two accounts?

I had to call during my writing exam because the program had cut me out. They made me do a room scan again once I was back in the program. But, while I was on the call and my phone was on the table while I did so. When I hung up the phone, I put my phone farther away to the side and under the table. Is this going to be a problem? Has anyone had a similar situation occur?

Hey everyone

I just wrote the October Flex, and I completely bombed it beyond all imagination. I was PT at around 172 (using PT 70s and 80s), and then on the real thing today, I couldn't even finish any section, with about left 5 to 8 questions blank per section. I just suddenly wasn't feeling well. My brain just won't work the second I encounter any resistance/difficulty on the questions. Now about specific sections.

RC: I read the 3rd passage, and had no idea what it said. And for some questions, I had no idea what to do to eliminate ACs. LG: I saw the last game, my brain just didn't wanna do any setup, and went straight for the questions. LR: went through the first 15 questions pretty fast, but then I suddenly found myself skipping nearly every question.

Is it normal to completely bomb the LSAT this bad on the test day? Is there any resource that you guys can direct me to for test day stuff?

Thank you in advance for any advice!

I am looking for people to revise and provide honest feedback for my personal statement and addendums! I will do the same for yours.

I have approved extended time (time plus 1.5). is there a way on this site to use that extended time to practice for the real LSAT?
