Hi!

I am feeling super discouraged because my prep tests keep fluctuating, is this normal? I just took my 6th PT and I got my worst score. Absolutely bombed RC and LR. Any advice for those sections? Some days i’ll feel super confident due to my score and other days this will happen and I start to lose hope. Any advice is appreciated.

I'm scheduled to take the LSAT Flex in August and I had been doing ok on LR, missing 4-5 questions per section. I decided to do some practice tests in the 80s and I've been missing anywhere from 8-12 questions per section which has tanked my score. Now I'm freaking out about August's exam and I don't know what to do. Why did this happen??

I caught myself reading out loud, very quietly, under my breath while taking PTs. Is this a habit the microphone will pick up? Will the proctor interrupt and request I remain silent during testing?

Just curious. Hoping to hear from those who have already written the flex.

I would love to create problem sets with some of my starred questions without having to go through individual PTs. Is this possible? Thanks!

Hey so I realize your courses are not finalized and this is why they are not availible. However, I'm sure that many of us, myself included, would like to purchase access to get a head start on our courses. I wouldn't mind paying upfront for what's been currently completed even if its not 100% complete.

let us know if this is viable. Thank you for making taking the LSAT & law school supplements so accessible and affordable.

Hey everyone! Looking for some partners to study for the upcoming October LSAT with! I've taken the LSAT once before, and want to do at least 6 points better this next time. Hmu if interested!

Can I use my Apple Pencil in conjunction with my iPad?

Hey guys,

My name is Deja and I’m looking for a study buddy for the November LSAT. My first PT I took was a 138 but I’m determined to increase my score to at least 160 by October (if possible). Looking for 2-3 people who are motivated to increase their score as well. My time zone is est. please feel free to drop your email or pm your number so we can get started thanks.

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know why there would be a "No" under the withdrawal section on my LSAC account? I am currently registered for both August & October and do not plan on taking August anymore. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks!

Why are my video explanations taking forever to load? Some aren't even loading for me.

Does submitting your application earlier mean that the school will respond to your application faster than they usually do? I applied as soon as it opened.

Hi everyone,

I have a pretty heavily marked-up The Loophole and a lightly marked-up LSAT Trainer that I'd rather not throw away. Free to pick-up for anyone in the NYC area (West Chelsea). Also happy to ship if you're able to cover shipping costs.

DM me if interested; first come, first serve.

Why when i take PTs, i score low 150s consistently, but when i do the blind review, i score 165+ on almost all of them? Personally i do not get to see around 20 questions because i am too slow to get to them all (at least 5/section), but i tried to speed up and my score tanked as a result. Any ideas of what i can do? Thanks guys

Hi guys,

I recently noticed that I continue to go -3 and -4 on each LR section either untimed or timed and BR'ed. These questions tend to be 4 and 5 star questions. Since a few months ago, I used up a few PTs (43 - 49) doing untimed work to increase my focus in reading carefully the question stem, stimulus, and answer choices. I noticed that prior to this, I was slacking off on being explicit with what the assumptions used on the argument is, and prephrasing the answer choice.

In this regard, I definitely made improvements (went -5 and -6 per each LR section previously). I do not gloss over words/sentences as much and feel more attuned to important details. But still, I am still getting -3 and -4 wrong on each LR section, which is discouraging. My goal is to go -1 per LR section timed, so 0 untimed.

I plan on using the 7Sage Analytics to identify any recurring question types from PTs 43 - 49, revisiting the CC for those question types, and making drill packets from PTs 7 - 49 on those question types.

What do you think about my approach? Would you recommend that I continue to do untimed work as I mentioned above, or continue doing what I was doing and use up a few more PTs (50 - 55) for untimed LR sections as well? I don't think it's a good idea to go back to timed LR sections with BR at the end, seeing that my untimed score is not good enough.

Thanks for your input!

Hi,

is anyone else having this problem? It seems that in the past 24 hours all PTs can no longer be downloaded / printed. Any advice on this would be much appreciated!

Thanks.

Good evening all,

For some reason I can't access any PrepTests. Fortunately I am done with the LSAT, but I forgot that I had to do a writing sample (lol), so I just came on to look at a few previous writing sections. My account is set to expire in 4 days and the message that I get when I try to access tests is that I am not linked to an LSAT Prep Plus account. I never had this issue/this message never came up before and I was using preptests on this site long after the transition to the LSAC Prep Plus stuff. I am wondering if anyone can help me clear up this issue?

Thanks!!

Hey guys! Thinking of taking the LSAT in December. Thank you 7sage - things are amazing so far. I want to gauge my studying. Is everyone completeing EVERY problem set in addition to EVERY practice exam? Thanks

A House Is a Body: Stories

Dreams collide with reality, modernity with antiquity, and myth with identity in the twelve arresting stories of A House Is a Body. In "Earthly Pleasures," a young painter living alone in San Francisco begins a secret romance with one of India's biggest celebrities, and desire and ego are laid bare. In "A Simple Composition," a husband's professional crisis leads to his wife's discovery of a dark, ecstatic joy. And in the title story, an exhausted mother watches, hypnotized by fear, as a California wildfire approaches her home. Immersive and assured, provocative and probing, these stories reveal small but intense moments of beauty, pain, and power that contain the world. A House Is a Body introduces a bold and original voice in fiction, from a writer at the start of a stellar career.

Hi all, I was wondering about getting a small group together to give each other some unbiased feedback on our personal essays for those of us applying to law school this fall. This would cover anything personal essay related depending on where each of us are at in the process--- helping each other narrow down topics, revising for narrative, and editing for clarity and grammar. I imagine we would end up going over multiple different versions of the same essays over the next few months, but it depends on how many people are interested and where they are at.

EDIT: Feel free to join the groupme to ask questions or find/give revision help! https://groupme.com/join_group/61203662/wGCnVIHU

I took the July flex and didn't score as well as I wanted to so I'm retaking in October. Should I wait until after my October score is released to apply? A friend said I should apply as early as possible but if I apply before October only my bad score will be on file...

How do I know if My request gets approved? Where on my account do I look? Also I read it could take 14 days, has anyone gotten them back sooner?

Is answer choice E incorrect because of the second half that reads, "unless manufacturers would reap large benefits..."

Also, I didn't really understand why C is the correct answer here. C seems to imply that the manufactures are in fact being deceptive which is what the consumer advocate is trying to prove. I tagged the first sentence in the manufacture's dialogue as the conclusion for the manufacture, and again answer choice C seems to go against this.

I would really appreciate any help with trying to figure out where I went wrong.

I have been consistently writing down explanations of LR questions I got incorrect (and many I got correct) in an attempt to improve my speed and understanding. I’ve been working on this for a over month, and I just cannot seem to finish a section on time with accuracy. I almost always score -4 going 5 minutes over time (working through the 50’s and 60’s PT sets). Ideally, I would like to be scoring -2 with a few minutes to spare, and I’m concerned that I won’t be able to get there in time for the October LSAT. Any tips or advice would be highly appreciated 😔

So I'm at the point in my studies where my BR score for LR (both sections) is consistently very low (-1, -1, -4, -2, -2) on my last 5 PTs but my timed score has lagged significantly (-6, -5, -7, -4, -7).

Part of what has been frustrating me is that I typically finish an LR section with plenty of time to spare (10-5 minutes left) but it just seems that I am never able to allocate those last minute effectively - I will confirm a wrong AC or two (that I'll then get right in BR w/o the time pressure) I'll go back to questions that I got correct that I probably shouldn't be double-checking, etc.

I'm aiming for low-mid 170s so I don't expect my BR to become my timed score and I'm not shooting for perfect either but I'ld like to get a better grasp on how to allocate the remaining time that I have bought with being so efficient on the 1st round.

I'm spending this week on drilling full LR sections in the 70s (already done these so I'm not burning fresh PTs in case any one is wondering). I'm trying to track 1) how much time I have left at the end of the section 2) how many wrong ACs I end up switching to right (and vice-versa). Should I also be tracking how many questions I unnecessarily go back to? What else should I be tracking?

In addition, I'm continuing to drill weaknesses that I found and really 'full-proof' out questions that I missed the day before to cover any gaps and familiarize myself with the feel of the newer questions.

Any thoughts? How have other people improved this?

Hey all,

I'm taking the August LSAT. As a backup plan, I am considering enrolling in the October LSAT as well. Does anyone know what the refund policy is for the LSAT. If I feel like I did well on the August LSAT, it would be cool if I could get a refund for the October LSAT.
