So I'm registered to take the August LSAT and as I'm studying I've noticed it's more helpful to either be able to read it aloud or be able to have a physical copy in front of me. I assumed writing the LSAT in person in a writing centre meant it would be a pen-and-paper test however I just found out you'd still be writing it digitally. I have since decided I prefer to write it in person in a writing centre and would prefer a pen and paper test however, looking at the LSAC website I will need to apply for accommodations.

My questions now will follow: (1) do I have enough time to apply for accommodations and still be approved before having to write the LSAT in August? and (2) I don't have any disability/ diagnosis I notice that it helps me better understand what's being said, do I have to apply for accommodations with a Qualified Professional form?

In other words, is the only way to get this accommodation through having a diagnosed disability?

Thank you!

Hi!

I'm planning on taking the August LSAT but my study plan has not been the greatest due to balancing a full time job and online classes. I am also registered for the October test and hoping to break the 170s by then.

My diagnostic was a 156 but have been able to score in the mid 160s since then with my best one being a 168.

Looking for someone that will be a good accountability partner especially when it comes to practice tests!!

I’m taking my LSAT in October 2024 😖😖

Hey everyone! So one of my LOR is from a lawyer I worked for, and I don't know what to put for her title on the LSAC LOR page? Should I just leave it blank or say attorney? Any ideas? Thanks!!

Hello everyone,

After reading the LSAC page on the LSAT writing section, it mentions that I will be able to write my essay beginning at least 8 days prior to my in-person or virtual test date. However, everywhere online, I hear of people saying that anyone can write their essay after their test day. Is this true? Where do I find this information?

I often run into questions I have already seen on LawHub when doing drills. I would like to skip them, but if I don't provide an answer then these questions are added to questions I got wrong. Is it possible to skip questions?

First PT was a 164, then a 168 - was stuck in the mid 160s for awhile, then broke through to low 170s, then mid 170s then just today I got a 180.

Feels really good although I want to keep drilling to ensure that my real score lands somewhere close to this.

Is this something that we will know before August or after? By scale I mean how many questions you can get wrong to get X score.

What are your best tips for mastering conditionals? I have been PTing much better than I was when I started studying but I am noticing trends in my NA/SA questions being incorrect, as well as a good deal of questions that involve condtional reasoning. I don't find the videos are too helpful in explaining why the wrong answers are wrong vs simply why the correct one is correct... SOS!!

I am planning on taking the November LSAT and I have been scoring in the 150's on practice tests, is it possible for me to get in the high 160's by November? Not to mention I have no commitments work or school wise, so I have all day and time to study up until test dates. Any advice or takes?

Any advice or insight on breaking out of the high 150s low 160s? Last 5 PTs taken weekly have been 160, 162, 160, 158, and 158. Been going through the curriculum blind reviewing and reviewing PTs the next day. Also haven’t started studying reading comprehension nor do I review it during the review process of the test. Looking to take in September and trying to get 165+

Hi everyone,

This is my first time taking the LSAT, started my diagnostic in the 140-145 range, haven't taken a practice test yet, but I am planning on doing that in the next 1-2 weeks. I am preparing for the November LSAT, but based on questions that I have been drilling, it has been fluctuating for me getting 5/6 right on some days and 4/6 on others (Ex. for Strengthen Medium sometimes I get 6/6 and other days 4/6).

What is a tip/trick that has been helping you out or that "A-hah" moment ?

How long did it take you guys to fully master a question type like Strengthen and/or assumption, only getting 2-3 or less wrong?

I officially started studying end of May, how soon have people started seeing results? I am aiming for a high 160 before November. Is this attainable studying a few hours everyday? Let me know your guys' experiences or takes on this:)

Hello! I have been studying for the August LSAT, and feel like I have come a far way with LR/have been focusing most of my time on that. As I've started doing the more recent PTs, I have noticed my reading comprehension scores have been worse and I have been having a much harder time with them. I went from getting -2ish to -4 or 5. Specifically, I feel like I am running out of time or don't remember the parts of the passage that I need to. Accordingly, I've decided to turn most of my attention to RC.

Does anyone have any advice on what to study and practice for the next couple of weeks to hone in on a method to attack these passages? I began the RC core curriculum, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be getting out of it. Is time best spent reviewing these example videos, practicing on my own, or doing specific practice drills? Any advice would be appreciated :)

Took a PT yesterday morning and scored my personal best, which I was super happy about, but then as the day went on, I just kinda became more and more jaded about it:

-Almost feels like a "World Series hangover" if that makes any sense: people say that the records of teams who make the World Series sharply decline the next year (see: the Rangers and Diamondbacks' current records) bc it's just hard to get locked in for a regular season game in the middle of July after having constant adrenaline shots in the postseason.

Can't tell if it's just the ebb and flow of general self-doubt involved in prepping for the LSAT or the washing out of the massive adrenaline associated w taking a PT and getting a really good score. Probably a bit of both. Just curious if anyone's ever noticed the same thing in their studies?

Hello, I recently upgraded to LawHub advantage but I still cannot access the material on 7Sage. How long does it take for the material to become available?

I just upgraded my LSAC account so that I can access all the practice tests but I had already linked my account with my 7sage account. Now, even though I upgraded, 7sage still says that I need to upgrade. Does anyone know what to do about this?

Hi all,

Looking for study buddies in bay area. Preferrably near Berkeley.

Aiming for 170+ on November 2024 LSAT :)

My lsac gpa (if I calculated correctly) is much higher than the 75th percentile of most top schools, but I've been PTing in the high 160s/low 170s. I'm taking the exam in October and planning on applying in November. Right now, my top schools are Columbia (ED), NYU, UChicago, Michigan, Northwestern, and Georgetown. Would my GPA (and other things like leadership, job experience) be enough to balance out my lower LSAT score?

Hello, I have been doing Blind Review and WAJing according to the lessons in the syllabus for LR and I found them extremely helpful. I was wondering if there is anything different I should do in terms of blind reviewing and WAJing for RC?

For this weakening question, I understand that I need to find evidence that points towards Neanderthals not being nomadic but I dont understand how the correct answer choice (Neanderthals saved gazelle teeth for use in religous rituals and later discarded them) helps prove that they are not nomadic.

I just took a PT and at least 20 of the LR question were from the core curriculum. That was really disappointing. The test list did not indicate whatsoever that I had already taken a large number of these questions.

Greetings, 7Sagers!
