Too late?

Hi everyone. I'm planning on taking the October test in a few days but I'm not getting past the mid 150s right now. I want to apply with at least a 160 but I'm not sure if that's achievable in a couple days. The problem is that I'm planning on applying this cycle and the next test I can register for is the January one. Last cycle, I took the January test and scored in the high 150s but wasn't accepted in an Ontario school. I'm wondering if the score was the main reason or if it was because my application was considered late because of the late LSAT. Are there considerably lower spots remaining to fill? Are they harsher on your application?

I'm now in the same predicament and can't decide whether I should opt out of this test and take it in January or just take my chances and see if I get accepted with the score I receive. I just don't want to ruin my chances again. Any advice would be appreciated (even if you're not applying in Canada). Thank you!

🙃 Confused

Score Preview

This is super last minute seeming as I have a couple hours to make the decision, if I only want to pay $45, but would score preview be worth it. I take the test tomorrow and I took a practice test and scored 156, ... this is my first time taking the test so regardless I would want to retake it, but would it be better to keep my score, assuming I do get a 156. Or if I retake it and score better would it not matter. I thought i decided against buying it but i think too much lol, any advice is helpful

Refrences

Hi everyone, I am feeling a little worried right now because only some of the schools, I am applying to require academic references (I'm Canadian) but i honestly do not have any super strong connections with profs. I am worried a prof will reject my request for a letter of reference as they do not know we well enough even if i did well in their course. Any Advice?

Should I cancel my LSAT score?

Hi everyone. I did the LSAT in September and got the results back. I want to know if I should keep or cancel the score.

I have only been studying since mid-July and wasn't expecting a high score considering I got a 136 in my first PT I ever did, and my last PT before the official exam was 147. I got a 147 in the official exam as well and planning to write the Nov LSAT again. My goal is 160(+).

Do you think I should keep the score or delete it? Does anyone know if the cancellation usually tends to have a negative effect on the application, or the schools look at the bright side and see improvement if I score higher in the Nov test?

I am also asking because I have only written the exam once, and the applications are due Nov 1. So is it better to have a low mark on file, or no mark at all before the application deadline?

I have all of my applications ready to submit. However, I wanted to give the LSAT one last shot, November will be my third time taking it. However, I was advised to submit my law apps mid October, notify the admissions boards that I am submitting my application but registered for the November LSAT and that my score will update with enough time for them to consider it before responding to my application. Is this an okay timeline or bad move?

Should we import your LawHub PrepTests by default?

You can import your LawHub PrepTests in your settings.

Should we auto-import your PrepTests by default? For example, we could periodically check if you have LawHub PrepTests and import them in the background, with a setting to opt out of this behavior.

To put the question another way, should LawHub import be opt-in (status quo) or opt-out?

😖 Frustrated

Website Bug Issues

Is anybody else having an issue in the explanation videos where the page reloads for no reason, and it boots you out of the video? Super annoying and happens to me like 2-3 times every video. Yes, I've reset my computer. I also use Chrome if that makes a difference.

On the actual LSAT it always shows a brief description before the section begins while the break timer has started. So I know what section I'm about to go into before going into it and I get to mentally prepare for RC vs LR during that minute. 7Sage just has a screen with a timer, it would be nice if this description or a similar one could be included.

Is it normal for your highest scoring section to be the experimental one, or is it just me? I seem to score way better on those sections nine times out of ten and am unsure as to why. Are those sections designed to be easier? Or, is there any other explanation I'm unaware of?

Hi all at 7sage,

I know you all have said you're working on letting accommodated test takers (and anyone who desires it) remove the experimental/any section from analytics consideration, but I just wanted to throw my hat in the ring that this is urgent. My analytics are literally nearly unusable because they count my experimental which I do not do. I have the accommodation and cannot practice under my test conditions AND have accurate analytics at the same time. This makes 7sage's usefulness very low in terms of just the infrastructure of drilling, for me. I'm hoping this can be a top priority for myself and others with accommodations, but I know you have a lot on your plate, and am grateful for everything you're doing as well as for your continual improvements.

Thanks!

I'm really struggling with RC. My highest pt has been a 157, I average around -6 to -8 on LR but -8 to -14 on RC. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong since I follow the strategies outlined in the core curriculum. Even when I try to slow down and only attempt 3 passages in a section, my accuracy is still bad. Any advice would be appreciated since I'm taking the November lsat (aiming for at least a 160)!

hey everyone. I started studying a couple months ago going through the whole curriculum and now I'm just drilling until i take the lsat in approximately a month.

overall i feel pretty good about my RC and some of my LR. but when it comes to anything related to sufficiency necessary, contrapositives, lawgic, diagramming, etc. I feel absolutely hopeless and clueless.

For example, I did PT136.S4.Q20 recently and I got it wrong and when I went to check the correct answer and explanation, I felt so lost. There was nothing I could even write down in my wrong answer journal.

Figuring out what's sufficient what's necessary, taking the contrapositive correctly then diagramming and chaining together conditionals in the stimulus and then doing so for each answer choice. It seems like something I could never do. I just don't even know where to start.

not only does missing these questions and not being able to understand them conceptually hurt my confidence with LR, I feel like its affecting my performance elsewhere. It's massively damaged my confidence in my ability to score well on the LSAT as whole.

I've looked online for resources and help, but every time someone tries to explain these concepts they do it in the easiest way possible that I feel doesn't carry over to the LSAT.

Yes, I am capable of understanding that being a dog is sufficient to being a mammal, and being a mammal is necessary for being a dog. But it's never that simple in an actual question on the LSAT.

i guess my point with this post, besides just venting, is to ask what resources have you found helped you in understanding formal logic, as it relates to questions on the LSAT?

guyssss my test is on saturday >> what would you recommend is the best way to really lock in and get a good preparation (ideally other than just taking a thousand PTs bc i feel like those tire you out more than really help). anyone have any good encouragement and study schedule for this last week thank youuu <3

Hey, quick question for anyone who studies 4–6 hrs a day for the LSAT. I have the time to do that, but I’m not sure what people are actually doing for so long. A timed section is only 35 min, and review doesn’t take me that much longer. Do you just drill questions for hours? Take a full test every day?

If anyone can share a breakdown of what their study schedule looks like for that many hours, I’d love to see it.
