can you skip to other questions and then go back? or are you forced to complete the questions in order???

I was just listening to the Thinking LSAT podcast and LSAT unplugged youtube channel. I 100% understand that it is much better to expand access in order to level the playing field for those that really need it. However, with the increasing amount of people that are trying to game the system, what do you personally think is going to happen?

Thinking LSAT thinks the LSAC will change the test and make it somewhat harder, because those that have extra time tend to score much much higher than those without it, and that number of people seems to be going up? If this is true, will this happen soon, like over the next year or two? After all, it is somewhat surprising to see the number of people with accommodations go up 400% in 4 ish years.

Hi,

When will the September LSAT be available to take digitally on 7sage? Thanks in advance!!

I know that when practicing on 7Sage we get the option of doing this. I was wondering if this option will be on the actual exam as well.

Hi y'all,

My current study partner and I are looking for a third person to join us for full-length PTs and BR sessions in-person.

We meet by the library at Bryant park Saturday mornings, take our PT, self-review, take a break and then BR as a group. Sessions are intense and last pretty much all day long (going from 10am-7/8pm or so). We're studying for the October & November exams and looking for another study partner committed to reaching a mastery-level understanding of this test, ideally someone already scoring in the165+ range under timed/BR conditions.

We review pretty thoroughly with the goal of extracting as many little lessons as we can from the questions.

Feel free to hmu to discuss further, if interested. Thanks! :)

Does anyone feel that the newer LRS are actually easier? Because im testing pretty far away, I try to sprinkle in as many old PTs as I can. On the newer tests I can go -3 to -6. But on the really old ones I can never get better than -6 haha. I feel like the old ones are just so weird.

Ive been doing ok on LR...should I skip over the explanations for the wrong answers and just focus on why I got the answer right??

Working on a time crunch.

Hi! So I understand why D is correct but I thought that the sentence "the position that X is unsustainable" was the position the author was trying to defend. In that he/she is defending that it is unsustainable. Why is this thought process not right? It's why I picked B

I'm used to taking lsats on paper where I can cross out wrong answer choices. Does the digital test allow you to mark up the test? For LG, i've been writing out a,b,c,d,e on a piece of scrap paper, but I feel like writing these letters out is time consuming. Any tips for taking the digital lsat? How different is the digital test is from the original test?

Is it allowed for September LSAT takers to send copies of the test to other people? It seems that the rest of us won't have access to it until late November which makes it irrelevant for me since my test is Oct 28. I would be willing to edit personal statements for that test. I am a high school English teacher for what it is worth.

Anyway I put this out there if anyone is interested, just message me.

I decided that I am going to take the lsat in January 2020 so that I can at least make an attempt at being accepted somewhere for Fall 2020. I took the PT and got a 141 without any prior knowledge of the test. All of the schools I am looking at have median lsat scores of 158 or lower. The highest ranking one is in the low 60's. I would like to set a goal for myself of getting between 155-160. Given that I have a 12 week window, is that a realistic goal? I purchased the Powerscore Bible Trilogy and two books with 10 practice tests a piece. I also plan on dedicating 3-4 hours a day M-F, as well as 6+ hours per day on Saturday and Sunday. I also plan on using the 7Sage LSAT Starter. I have no intent on trying to get a scholarship. I just want to be able to submit competitive applications. I have an undergrad GPA of 3.33 and a graduate GPA of 3.53 (I know these don't really count for much).

Long story short, is it realistic to think that I could obtain a score in the mid 150's with a three month study window?

Hey guys and gals Nov test taker here

I’ve been hitting -3 or better on Lr sections through the PT60s, but just hit a -8 on section 4 on PT 69. I’m not too worried because I had heard about a shift in Lr around this range. I’m hoping I will adapt.

Can anyone speak to what changes they noticed if any and what you did to adapt?

TIA

Anyone going? I will be there on Friday 10/11!

Hi friends, I just finished my first PT after finishing the CC. I scored a 162 (165 on BR) and my best section by far was RC (-3 raw, -0 BR). I found that there were quite a few questions that I got wrong solely on blind review. Does anyone have any tips to help remedy that? Any tips in general on how (or if it’s even possible to) increase my score to the high 160s by the November test?

Hey everyone

I noticed I have been doing this a LOT

It is costing me 5-7 points per LR section

I find the correct AC, I circle it, and I think its wrong, so I look through the "lower" ACs, and chose something else. I go back during my BR and -- DUH -- the solutions become apparent?

My BR score is 165-170ish, my PT score is mid 150. Like 155? It vacillates, depending on how CARELESS I am. All my errors are CARELESS and these are really the worst kinds of errors. All I can think of during my BR is how careless and dumb I am.

Then, I tend to get "trapped" on certain questions... I end up spending a lot of time on them, sometimes I get them right (most of the time), and there are always AC's at the end that I miss. It is VERY frustrating. If I just picked my first AC choice and moved on, I would have gotten it right AND saved myself more time for the last few questions. Problem is I have so much self-doubt, I have a really really hard time picking an AC and moving on?? My goal is to get -20 overall (or more in non absolute terms).

Has anyone else struggled with this? What should I do now? I am supposed to write this month :(

Read on the news that a recent lawsuit means that over the next four years LSAC will be taking out the LG section and replacing it with a brand new section. Does anyone know if they are going to make any immediate changes though? I have heard rumors that they are going to grant the option not to take Logic Games at all!!

Hey all

So my October LSAT is in the grand Hyatt NYC hotel, which is in midtown. I’m coming from NJ so I’m taking the NJ transit to Penn station. I’m thinking I might need my phone in this journey to use google maps as I make my way to the test center. Is there a place I can put my phone at like the hotel before I enter the test cite? Or should I make the commute from NJ to NYC without my phone, and just memorize the directions in my head?

Also, if Anyone had experience testing in grand Hyatt nyc or at hotel, would love any feedback or advice. Thank you!

Hi guys

I am extremely stressed out also I have been also a brain fog due to to studying.

I have been extremely stressed because I always get most of the LR questions 16-26 wrong and only few of them right. I don’t know why this is a pattern and I am aware that they can be harder questions. I feel that even after going over the course it did help me a lot no doubt ! I need to know is this normal ?

Do I keep practicing till I get them ?

Anyone been through this ?

Thanks

Just finished 63 and am looking for a BR partner. Anyone just recently finished this test or looking to go over some questions? If you havent taken this test yet Im willing to wait a few days and then BR.

if you literally guessed on every question, and there are 5 answer choices, according to calculator ,your score would be around a 124, not a 120 correct????

So you could pretty much guarantee that the bottom is 124 not 120??

Im not planning on guessing obviously but im just wondering.

Around how many PTS until you found you hit your peak?

For those who have taken all or nearly all, would you be willing to share your score?

If the LSAT is just not taking up enough your time and you want more LSAT talk, I find this entertaining - https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/podcast/

So I've been studying for lsat for some time now and i always had this question i couldn't sort out in my head.

For certain describe the flaw questions on LR, we see a lot of conditional reversal flaws.

For example, "A --> B. Therefore, B -->A."

When choosing the right answer for this kind of flaw, we usually get obvious answer choices.

But we sometimes get "fails to consider" kind of answers like "fails to consider that there could be other conditions necessary for A other than B".

My question is, for the kind of flaw that i mentioned above (A-->B so B-->A), could we also say that "author takes for granted that only B is required for A"?

Thanks.

Hi I've never taken the digital LSAT and I have heard the light from the screen bothers some people. Is this true? Can you adjust the light settings on the tablet? What are some ways to beat this difficulty? I've heard of special glasses that filter out the bothersome light from computer screens. Thanks!!!!!!
