I did! I had a hiccup tech wise in the October exam that I didn't think warranted a whole new exam at the time. In December, upon recommendation from a law school advisor, I wrote a succinct, solid argument for why even a 1-2 minute interruption co…

Grateful I was able to take today. Sorry for those who had issues!

Hey Jon! I am in the exact same boat. I'd love to study a bit for October. Feel free to message me

Been there! I would say the major aspect of improving from high 160s to low 170s is SUPER disciplined strategy as well as improving accuracy on those challenging questions. If you haven't implemented strict skipping as well as explicit procedures …

I work FT (h.s. teacher) and have a kid. I started studying in summer 2019 and finally reached my goal scores consistently this past summer. So it took 2 years and about 10-25 hours of studying a week, depending on how much time I had. I went fro…

Hey! You've got this, the test is truly learnable! I started at a 151 and am consistently 170+ now. Here's my advice: -Don't set a timetable for when you'll be able to test or what you "should" be able to do by now. It's taken me 2 years and a…

I would recommend a tutor as well! They can help get you over that last hump. Sounds like you've got a great foundation and need some help tweaking pieces of test day/even strategy. I utilized a 7sage tutor and highly recommend! If you can't aff…

30 here, working full time/been in a career for 8 years, been studying the LSAT for 2 years and hoping to enter LS in Fall '22. You can do this. Age is just a number, don't let your own limitations on yourself set you back. You've got this, and k…

Hey there! Don’t give up! The LSAT truly is learnable, but it’s not like many other tests and subjects. I think the best (and perhaps most annoying 😂) advice I got was to take the test when I was truly ready. I thought I could be ready for this te…

I'd wait! I've taken the exam before I was where I needed to be and if you're not in a rush, waiting is better. I've found this exam is not one where most people magically score a ton above their average. It's possible, but unlikely. It sucks, …
-
When I got to this point it was about learning to implement strategy! I'd first ask, are you utilizing a skipping strategy in LR? That's a great place to start if you aren't!
-
Send me a message! "Foolproofing" isn't a method that super helped me in the long run, but my tutor helped me find a method that doesn't rely on inferences and memorization techniques. For me, it's been about a method that is more foolproof, inste…

What ^^^ said! Take a break!!!

Blue light glasses have helped a bit for me!

Hey! I’m so sorry things are tough. The LSAT has lots of ups and downs and it sounds like you’re in a down. If it helps, I have been at this for 2 years. I started at a 150 and am now at a 170. It has been HARD. I am a parent and work full time. But…

I have a macbook air and this was helpful to clear up ram space too

Thanks @AlexJ_LSAT !!

This podcast came out last summer/fall and I found it super helpful. I have a lower uGPA and a higher master's GPA and was worried about the same thing. For this podcast at least, they mentioned that trends are important so even if you struggled a…

Hey! I'm not an expert/tutor either but am currently scoring around 170 and would love to help. It'd help me too! I'm trying to tighten up a bit and make improvements and I think the next level is going to come partially through teaching others. …
-
I'd set a routine now and follow that routine! Routine can help keep nerves calm. For me, I exercise for about 30 minute (I'm a runner so running is what I do), eat a good breakfast, decompress for a bit (I like to watch something funny for about…
-
Yup! That's how I diagrammed it
-
This helped me a ton, thank you for this!
-
Honestly it partly depends on your goals, but I'd give yourself as much time as you can, even if that means delaying a year. I work full time and am a parent and the LSAT is a tough one! The LSAT is a really tricky test because it's testing skills…

@kategray10 said: No, I am speaking about the test sets that 7Sage gives you. I'm going to go back to the basics and just turn off the timer for a little while, but at what point do you have to just go with your gut on a question and move on …

I haven't applied yet, but I have been postponing since taking the LSAT in Fall of 2019. I've been studying this entire year and plan to apply for Fall of 2022. I can say it's worth it! It's not fun, it's not easy, but it's been worth the extra t…

I currently do a mix of both. If it helps, prior to my first LSAT take, I did everything by hand and I highly regret it. While I think in STUDYING note taking by hand can be super preferable (especially for retention), taking the actual test is di…

I'd love to join!

Something I've learned from a 7sage tutor is to trust the skipping process! I used to NEVER skip (in fact I took two LSAT's and had one year's worth of studying NEVER skipping. I've started using this strategy the last 6 months and have seen massiv…

Maybe start with mastering games if you can. That's an area of quick improvement and might be a great place to boost your score for now. If you can start going -1 to even -3/4 on games, that will help immensely! Then maybe pick those big question…
