Good luck on PrepTest 84. You're literally taking an undisclosed practice test that some person will be taking in their basement in a few years. Therefore, the test you will be taking tomorrow could just as easily have been your highest scoring practice test.

Take the test EXACTLY like you've taken any other PrepTest because that is exactly what it is.

I am sorry for all the questions in this post, but will genuinely appreciate any help and advise. I have done lots of research on salaries and rankings, but it seems that they are not accurate. I graduated with my GPA at 3.6. I am hoping to go to law school in Fall 2019. I am worried that even if I get a 169 or 170 on the LSAT, it won't be enough for T14. On the other hand, many law schools including Penn Law, are now accepting the GRE. I'm worried that if I am not accepted to Penn with my GRE, then I will be behind another year. How important is Top 14? Should I be aiming to go to the highest law school in hopes of receiving more money in my career? Will my chances be better for big law because the law school ranking is higher? Are there even lawyers making 6 figures anymore? If so, how? Also, do people just take loans? My only problem is I don't want to take out 150k+ loans only to be making 50k a year. What is the most reasonable decision for now and what are my chances of truly getting into big law? Thank you for your help!

Soooo maybe I’m wrong or maybe I’m crazy but I just figured out that with disagree and agree questions, the answer appeals to the conclusion of the first speaker. Is that a hack or am I reaching

Is anyone here in the Nashville/Middle Tennessee area and interested in a study buddy or study group? I would love to get something going.

Hi Everyone. So I'm about 5 months pregnant and just finished with the cc. I plan on taking the Sept test (while just entering into my 8th month - def looking forward to that) and am about to begin my pt/timed drills/fp journey. I just wanted to reach out and see if others who have studied in the past while pregnant or are currently pregnant and planning on taking the test soon have any tips or wisdom to share from their journeys. I have also been having a lot of hip pain lately was wondering if any of you experienced the same and have recommendations for dealing, especially during full pts (I took a timed 4 section pt yesterday and my hip was killing me, although the pain wasn't unbearable it was mostly just distracting and annoying)

Advice regarding applying for accommodations for pregnancy would also be extremely appreciated and if anyone is interested in forming a support group/chat/anything for others in a similar studying-while-pregnant situation please let me know!

I'm registered for the September test and am starting to freak out about it. I am ~4 years out of college and work a pretty demanding full time job, and have been studying as much as I can for about the last 9 months. I had not starting doing PTs except for my diagnostic a while ago which I scored a 163. I did my first PT since then over the weekend, and my score dropped to 160 after months and months of studying! I'm feeling discouraged because my target is 170. With only 12 weeks until the test, I've planned out realistically being able to do 16 more PTs. I'm worried this isn't enough, or if my time would be better spent drilling LG which is where I have the lowest scores. I'm missing 3 or less on RC, 5 or less on LR, and fluctuating wildly on LG. Any advice?

Hi guys,

is there anybody want to apply for 2019 Canadian law school? Really want to discuss with some body. Quite confuse with the process. Thanks please get in touch.

Oh my god. So I just graded my most recent PT (76), I got a 158 and BR 163. I'm literally in shock. I have been consistently scoring in the high 160s and BR in the high 170s for months now. I'm trying to get above a 170 on the July test. What should I do? Reevaluate my whole life??????????

Hello everyone!

I've heard some schools that do "remedial" courses/a crash course for students who got in with lower LSATs/GPAs that goes over how to read a case, how to take exams, etc. before school starts. Does anyone know what this is called? Or if it even exists? haha

If I'm not crazy, does anyone know what schools do it?

Thanks for any help!

Tomorrow is the June LSAT and it's going to be my 4th take, and I'm waiting until the absolute last minute to decide if I should take the test.

I feel somewhat ready. My practice scores have been in the 170-174 range with a high one time of 177 (though this was a retake), BUT there are a couple of reasons why I'm hesitant to take the test:

-I took one last practice test (just timed sections - didn't do it all in one sitting yesterday) and got a 169.

-My logic games isn't at a -0 yet. I keep making REALLY careless mistakes. I was scoring -0 pretty consistently until last week, and now I'm missing -2 or -3. On PT 82, i missed 5. This is scaring me a little bit.

i'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm not as ready as I think. I have a tendency to score lower on my real tests vs. my practice exams. Both times I took it, I scored below my average. Should I wait another month to feel more secure or should I just take the test?

I've been studying for a while now and I'm exhausted. I'm at the point where I kind of just want to get the test done. Any feedback for me?

Dear 7sage,

I am, yes, still deciding whether to take the dang test tomorrow, and I'm trying to gauge the effects of taking it again to get a higher score, as I am willing to potentially cancel to wait until I am in a higher range.

Currently my knowledge of school views on re-takes is as follows:

—Yale: looks for people who can score high on their first take; won't necessarily average, but might. Since individual faculty get to exercise their opinions, and some faculty might want elite test-takers, not getting your top score first might really ding you if a faculty member objects to it.

—Everyone else in top 20: basically will take your highest score, although multiple scores can factor in to the application

—Everyone else: presumably top score

Can anyone color this further, preferably with official policies? I understand it is not super clear — I am just curious what the opinions are and why people hold those opinions.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi guys,

I am just start up and prepare full time for the September exam. As i start the lesson, do we have to go through all the question explanation video for the preptest or the problem test? or it is okay just to watch the explanation for the question we are wrong or confused about? which works better？

One of my biggest problems is that I do not read fast enough and sometimes I tend to skip over words that make or break answer choices. Partially I blame my ADHD for this. But regardless I need to improve. If anyone has any advice please share.

Hey friends!

Tomorrow it's my first time taking LSAT. I just printed my ticket and realized my hair is way longer than I took the photo. In the photo, I had a short bob with a bang, now it's around my shoulder and I decide to tie my hair up tomorrow. Would this be problematic? Would I be deny entrance? Since on the information sheet, it says "the uploaded photo must match your appearance on the day of the test (with or without beard).

Hello All,

Before I go any further, best of luck to all of my fellow 7sagers who will be taking the test tomorrow! The reason I am posting here is that I have a question about pencils. Throughout my preparation I have been Dixon Ticonderoga #2 HB "soft" pencils. According to LSAC, for the test we need "No. 2 or HB wooden pencils". My question therefore regards the classification of the pencil as soft. Does anyone know if this is an acceptable type of pencil. I believe that the softness or hardness of a pencil is in regards to the texture of the graphite, but I have been unable to determine that conclusively. Thank you in advance for your help.

I was freaking out because I thought the test was not at 12:30pm despite what my ticket said. I thought perhaps they did not indicate for PDT, but it is 12:30 PM in June all over the country, right?

Also, my ticket is printed in black and white. Is that okay, or does it need to be in color because of the photograph?

I have finished fool-proofing the first 20 games in the set but I regularly come across games that give me problems. I have improved, don't get me wrong, but my scores on full sections are still wildly inconsistent. My best section ever I was able to get -2 and finish all of the games in time, but just yesterday I got a -7 on a full section. Is this type of variance normal for someone who has fool-proofed around 20 games or should I restart from game 1?

thanks :)

So I've been studying for LSAT for almost a year now.. and I thought after all the studying, I would naturally be seeing at least a few point increase in my scored full PTs.

But today I took my last ever fresh PT and saw a whopping 10 point decrease from my average scores around 6 months ago (173~174). Given that I took this test in the actual testing site on the day of exam, it is probably an accurate reflection of how I can score under timed/high-pressure conditions.

The really frustrating thing is that.. when I BR questions from past papers (I've taken all the published PTS ranging from 1~82 at least once, most of them twice), I understand fully how to read and approach the questions. Although obviously inflated, I'm able to score almost -0, -1 on LR sections that I have seen before (after having months of rest in between the original and retake). So I thought that I really had a firm grasp of basic logic, as long as I had sufficient time and clear mind when solving the problems. But when I encounter new sections, as shown by today's test scores, my average incorrect answer ranges from 4~5 per section.. :( I felt confident before this test that I had mastered pretty much all the fundamentals of LR, but now I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong..

Looking at the questions I got wrong.. most frequently I miss key words in the stimulus, or just simply have no idea what the stimulus is saying, or become flustered by complex conditionals/inference questions. Some questions.. I was pretty sure that it was the answer, but it turns out it was completely wrong.. So the reasons vary a lot

I also bombed the RC section, getting about 4 more wrong than what I usually score.. Bombed one passage (the last one in the section), got 4 wrong out of 8 on it..D: This kind of performance has actually never happened to me on an RC before.. so I'm a bit shocked about my RC too. Perhaps it's due to the fact that I haven't reviewed any RCs for almost 3 weeks now (I hyper-focused on LR - though that doesn't seem to have been that fruitful..) .. so maybe I've lost my LSAT reading habits.. :S Just lost for words.

Anyway, long story short.. I'm really frustrated, the exam coming up in about 2 weeks will be 4th and FINAL LSAT ever and I honestly don't know what I should do during the next few remaining days. I really need a score higher than 170 (currently 167 highest) so I'm reaching out for help/any words of wisdom to overcome this hurdle that stands in front of me..

Does anyone have any advice/comments on RC cookie cutters? Would love to start a discussion on the various cookie cutters on passages, right AC's, wrong AC's, etc.

Some I can think off the top of my head is cookie cutter wrong AC's are often way toooo strong, the phenomenon/hypothesis in science passages, etc. Thanks!

I'll keep this short... if you're an early bird and are taking either one of the summer exams, try to head to bed a bit LATER these next few nights. Reason being... things don't kick off (on exam day) until 1pm, so being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (at 8am) won't work this time around.

Has anyone found themselves BR'ing a few questions from right to wrong in RC?

Any advice on this? Thanks.

Hi,

I finished a course with PowerScore a week ago and after coming across 7 Sage video explanaitions I decided to enroll in this course to help me with the remainder of my prep. (Currently I am studying full-time and am planning to write the September LSAT. my average PT score is 154)

I was wondering if you have any recommendations about what study plan I should follow in these 3 months given that I have already studied PowerScore's core curriculum?

I have started writing 2 PTs a week and have started doing blind reviews after each PT. but one instructor told me that I should only write one PT a week since more than that would be a waste of PTs. Is that true?

Can someone please be kind enough to explain to me why the answer is (c)? I was able to eliminate only (a) and (b). I thought (c), (d), and (e) were all valid. I think I am missing something here.. Please help! Thank you so much.

Hey y'all!

Does anyone know if we're allowed to have gum in our ziplock bags during the test? (To chew during break).

Thanks and good luck to all June test takers!!

I've been over the LR CC twice now and also have tried to incorporate various suggestions I've found on the discussion forum to get better at LR and nothing works, I seem to be getting worse. In desperate need of help! I vary from -3 to -7 on LR and I really want to improve it to a maximum of -2 before my June (24th) attempt. Any clue as to what I should do?
