Hi all!

I am wondering when do you start sending transcript to LSAC and get to know your LSAC GPA?

Thank you!

Does anyone know on average how many points above a school's median would it take to get a full tuition scholarship, maybe even more than that? Obviously, they take other part of the application into account but assuming those are good

I've been taking some PTs lately in which I fail to answer all the questions in time so I just usually guess all D's or E's. I've seen quite a lot of discussion on if this is a good thing or not to do on PTs because it might mask your real potential or make you look like you did better or worse than how you actually performed.

In my eyes, I attempt to mirror my PTs as much as I can to the real thing, and I do think if I took the LSAT tomorrow and still had time allocation issues that I would surely guess. However, I also understand the importance of Blind Review in order to really increase my potential and see where I am making mistakes and wasting time and using bad logic. That said, if i'm guessing on say 5 or 6 questions in a section on a PT, is it worth truly blind reviewing those if all I am do is solving the questions with infinite time? Would it be a better practice to ignore blind reviewing questions I purely guessed and only concentrated my BR efforts on understanding the logic better for the questions I did answer?

Hey guys,

How should I practice doing 5 sections on the digital practice tests, especially if I'm running out of pt's (since I only have the Starter Pack)?

Should I just do the extra section from a different PT on paper and go back to digital?

Also, if I purchase a PT as an add-on (the ones that cost 29.97 dollars each), I get to do it on digital too, right?

Thanks for your #help !

I will start the RC section soon. I really appreciate it if you guys can give me advice on how to carry on from here. Once I finish the LG section I will start fullproofing the bundle while going over the RC CC. I will watch the webinar on what to do after I finish but I could use some strategies. (When to take timed sections?) ( when and how many times to take full PTs) So basically for my situation which im sure many of you have been through whats the best way to go?

Last year, I was kicked out of an LSAT administration because I did not drop my pencil in time. Getting kicked out was perfectly understandable. I violated a rule, and got what I deserved.

What I didn't understand at the time was that, in their report, the administrators left out a very important piece of information, namely how I ended up dropping my pencil. An administrator forcefully made contact with me, and essentially smacked the pencil out of my hand. To clarify, it was not that I took a long time to drop the pencil; instead, she stood next to me during most of the test, because I sat in the corner, so she just happened to be there was the time was called (there were people still writing afterwards). Although a tutor from 7sage said I should bring this up to LSAC, at the time, I thought it would be pointless or meaningless. Or maybe it was because my Asian parents have taught me that being hit for doing something bad in an academic environment is normal. But then, I watched the following youtube video, and learned that assault is assault, and that they should be held responsible for what they did, as I was.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what, if anything, I should do?

I am stably getting bet 165-167.

I started prep exactly a month ago, kicking off from 159.

However, never got 170+ in timed set yet.

Are there any tips on getting to 170+ from mid 160??

Think I can literally do anything for that. So desperate.

Also, for those who get 170+, how long did it take for you to get that score from the first prep and from mid160 respectively??

Thank you in advance:)

I emailed documents to LSAC requesting accommodations on May 28th but when I review my LSAC it says still reviewing and a decision has not been made. For anyone that has applied for accommodations what was your experience? I am anxious because I am writing the July exam. Input is greatly appreciated.

Hi all! I am taking the LSAT for the third time around in July and would like to change my approach slightly by working with other lsat-ers instead of alone. Before both of the last two tests I took, my PT's were averaging around 172 which is my target score but unfortunately I've been underperforming on the real day because of nerves. I think I have a pretty strong grasp of the LSAT and would make a good study partner for whoever is looking for one. Willing to meet in person in downtown NYC or virtually. DM me if interested!

Hey,

I have been studying for LSAT for a while and have done all the PTs. For the most recent PTs, I have done them for 2-3 times. I registered for the July LSAT and I am very worried that I do not have any unfamiliar PTs to simulate the actual testing if I remember the questions and passages and even answers from the time I did the PTs. I wonder if anyone has similar experience with this and could give me some advice.

What is the best way to improve on each section of the lsat?

What strategies have you guys used to help you improve?

Tell me straight up what I've got to do in order to improve. Step by step.

I figure that the July test is almost a gimme since I can cancel if my score is not great. But I'm about one month out and still 4-5 points from where I'd like to be.

My average BR score up until 68 was 175+, and as soon as I hit 70, it dropped to 170, and today I got 168 for BR.

I’m getting a lot more RC questions wrong.

I used to get -1~-3 for RC during BR, but I got -7 today. Actual score dropped as well.

Is there a significant difference between 60s and lower RC passages and 70+ passages? I usually get -0 on my untimed drill, so I don’t thinks drilling older passages would be helpful in this case. Two weeks til the real test and I’m screwed.

Hey guys!

I am taking the July exam and have been scoring a 164 for the past several practice tests. Reading comp is my worst section, and I fluctuate between -8/-12. On logical reasoning I score between a -6/-8 on one section and a -2/-3 on the other. Thankfully, I have logic games under control. Any tips on how I can break the plateau and make the most out of the remaining month before the exam?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Could someone tell me if 7Sage helps with understanding the types of games you encounter on the LG section? This seem to be one of my main barriers for the LG portion. Any suggestions?

Instead of printing out the PTs... Do you have a way to study on the tablet? Since the test is no longer in paper I am trying to avoid printing. Should I download PDF on my tablet and scan all my study notes etc?

Hi everyone,

My psychologist forgot to include a specific accommodation on my documents and the documents were already submitted. Also, the deadline has passed. Is there a way to submit new documentation? Any had this problem before? I’m really worried and I know I will do poorly without this specific accommodation.

Hi everyone! I took my first LSAT on June 3rd, so I do not have a writing sample on file. Do I need to complete the new digital writing section before scores are released on the 27th in order to receive my score? I can't find anything on the FAQ, but I've heard that you have to before you get a score.

I am getting discouraged. I have been studying since January and did the CC really slow and in-depth so I could learn it better. Now I am taking preptests and reviewing only. My diagnostic score was 150. I have taken 3 other prep tests scoring: 156, 153, 154. I never know how to improve my score after taking the prep tests. I would really like to get high 150s and max 160 if possible. I'm taking the july LSAT.

I need tips for studying and how to improve. Also, the reality of if I can improve that much before july?

Hi all!

So I just finished PT 79 & 80, which each had the weird misc games. In one of the videos, JY mentions that these weird ones are now pretty typical.

What test # are we on now? 90-something? And are these misc games still common to see in each test? (I don’t have the Ultimate package, so will just know the 10 Actuals up to 81 situation)

Many thanks.

For those of us who are still having challenges with timing, I found this semi-useful guessing strategy on Powerscore’s website and wanted to share

« if you cannot finish the final questions in a section, in the Logical Reasoning section you should always guess answer choice (E). In the Reading Comprehension section you should always guess answer choice (D), and in the Logic Games section you should guess (A) »

I've been wait listed at two schools. One of them being a month now and the other two weeks now. I visited both schools and sent thank you letters shortly after. I also sent continued letter of interested to both schools. I am tired of waiting and feeling very anxious. What else can I do to speed this process up? :(

Crying as I'm typing this. I apologise for my grammar and clarity in advance.

I started studying at around late April. I just finished Uni and had decided to take the summer off to work at my part-time job that gives me very minimal hours and study for the LSAT alongside. I had wanted to take the Sept test and apply this cycle. But here's the thing.

I have ADD/ ADHD and my focus is honestly straight trash. I have the option to take medicine for it but when I do, it doesn't work effectively and it makes me lose all appetite and to be fixated really, really hard on one thing, so that I won't be able to get much done at all and will be frustrated, hungry, tired, and angry at the end of the day.

Throughout my Uni years, I've learned that the more I occupy my day, the more effectively I work and the better my mood is. But now with school being over, and me working anywhere from only 6-9 hours a week, I have the majority of my time free. And when this happens, I tend to waste it, self loathe, and then spend 3 hours a day actually studying for the test. Even during these 3, precious hours, I would stress about how incompetent I am for getting questions wrong, making stupid mistakes, and not being able to figure out how to diagram properly (currently on LG portion of CC). When I realise how much studying time has already passed and how much work I've only accomplished, I get really upset and this carries on to the next day. Then the cycle repeats.

I'm currently already 2 weeks behind on my schedule. I have no idea how I'm going to catch up, where I'm going to find the motivation to even get any work done, how I'm going to be as competent as a lot of you are on this site before test day, and how on earth I would be able to get into my dream school and become a successful lawyer I've dreamt of becoming. I have questioned my temperament and capabilities throughout my journey so far for many times. I asked myself how on earth would someone like me make a good lawyer if I'm not even capable of getting myself together to write one test, and how the hell would I even amount to anything if I don't even have the drive to succeed anymore. At this point, I'm honestly on the brim of giving it all up.

I did 4 years of uni back to back, without taking a single term off, because I have always hated down time. And taking time away from school would mean moving back with my family, and trust me when I say they're not nice to me and a majority of my issues came from them.

Before these 4 years, I took a year of uni at another school that I ended up hating. Many things happened that year that led me to spend the entire 4-month summer after that year almost entirely at home. I saw my mental health decline shortly after I first transferred to my current school, while I have had long stretches of time throughout these 4 years where I felt capable and energised, the majority of the time I was in a horribly dark place and I think I'm in it again right now.

I know that I am mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally not in the right spot to start the gruesome journey that is LSAT and expect to get a good score in this state of being. However, I'm terrified of the idea of taking a whole year off. My degree wouldn't allow me to get any decent job, and the longer I stay out of school, my gut tells me that the less I would want to or would have the motivation to get back into school, if you know what I mean. And plus, I have already purchased the ultimate+ package and I really don't want to waste it.

I'm not exactly sure what I'm hoping to get from posting this. I'm just feeling really, really down and I've been very, very frustrated at myself. My uni convocation is next week, and I find it really depressing that I don't feel a speck of joy for having made it through 5 years of uni alive. Oh, and my part-time job is ending in July, because the place closes down for 1.5 month in the summer. I work with older women who are all mothers, and to be honest, they have given me more love than I have ever given myself or have gotten from my actual family. Losing that support network is going to be tough on me. So, more to say that I have no idea how I'm going to get through this summer in the right mindset and actually be productive, make myself proud, and take my life to a place where I want it to be.

I don't know how you guys do it. Or maybe it's just because I'm just really lacking in character. Or perhaps this career path just isn't for me?

Sorry for the long rant. I feel slightly better now. I'm open to any words of wisdom.

Thanks.

Anyone know what kind of stylus is used in digital LSAT?

Will it be the Surface Pen (which I think costs like $99)?

Also, is a stylus just a fake plastic pen that simulates writing? Like everything you can do with a stylus you can do with your finger?

So instead of pushing something on the tablet screen with your finger, you just push it with a plastic pen like thing?

To practice the digital LSAT on the tablet, would it be ok to just buy a really cheap stylus to practice with, or even use a real pen with no ink to underline/high on the tablet?

thanks!
