I think many of us had similar problems, and I think it's somewhat normal.
I would recommend using a timer that counts up and work on shaving time off. I did this incrementally until 35 minutes felt much more doable.
Nope. I actually began studying with The LSAT Trainer and was only studying using the newer tests. As a result, I began to feel like the newer (PT52+) tests were much easier. Once I started 7Sage, I began drilling with older tests (1-35) and thought…

Hey @LauraC829 ,
Welcome!
To be honest, it seems like you're between a rock and a hard place. On the one hand, taking plenty of PTs before you sit for the exam is crucial. On the other hand, you should really finish the CC before moving on to PTs.…
Whoa! that's crazy they made an error like that. Any error is serious and I'm extremely happy you did something about it and were vindicated. Good for you @deansr

Apparently if you start a fee waiver application it puts your account on hold until you finish it which means that you don't get your score until it is resolved. I got the hold removed today around 2pm PST, is it possible my sc…
My very general advice is to first get the basics down, for LG develop a diagramming system for the different types of games, and really work on your deductive reasoning (inference making skills), each game has a game breaking inference that you wil…

It seems that after each LSAT exam, companies like Powerscore and others recap the exam, and discuss the amount and difficulty of questions. Is this helpful to us? IE, does the degree of difficulty of one exam predict the degree…

Hi guys,
I received a167 on the September LSAT and I have 3.84 GPA from top 30 UG. I am also working as a CPA at a big 4 if this matters at all.
My PT average was around170 - ranging from 163(outlier) to 176. I was …
I think you should start with the starter course and then you can always upgrade if you need to.
I began with the starter course and it was better than any other course, book, or anything else I had done LSAT wise up until that point. There's truly…
There's really no such thing as "reverse" splitters. Law schools care so much about the LSAT that a good GPA cannot offset a low LSAT score the way a high LSAT score can offset a low GPA.
I would retake. You probably would get WL at Fordham, BC, BU…

Hi, everyone. I'd like to start by saying I just now encountered 7Sage for the first time and quickly decided to get an account. I've spent some time today reading through the discussions and it has already been helpful. Tho…

My thoughts are based off of a good amount of perusing law school related message boards, some books, and just knowing tons of attorneys where I work.
But, yeah, ultimately joint JD programs are usually pretty useless. The exceptions tend to be tho…

The lessons are going to be essentially the same, the main difference is all the extra necessary materials. All the tests, explanations, and drills/bundles you need to do well on the test are included.

Hey @aishatung
I'm sorry to hear about your score drop. It sounds like the stress of the test is affecting how you perform. I recommend checking out this book called "Performing Under Pressure" by Weisinger. I think it does a great job at explainin…
With that LSAT score you should be aiming for a top school such as Harvard, Stanford, Yale, or a top T6 school with $$$. A Fulbright is an incredibly prestigious soft that will help for admissions.
All that to say, you don't want to waste such an a…

Assuming you were PTing 170s or even high 160s, I would take it again on Dec.
