@jordandomenech said: Well I just decided to push mine back. If you are going to reschedule, make that choice soon as a fee to reschedule --$125 -- will be applied if you don't reschedule by the 30th. Yes I'm leaning towards pushing it back.…

@WouldRatherBeEating said: You lose no money if you push the exam back before Oct 30. I think it's a good idea to push it back, be extremely ready for it and go in with your best chances. Yes forgot the consider the money part of it!

Wow thank you so much everyone! As of now, it's tied. But I really appreciate everyone's comments and feedback! I guess the one thing about taking the test and getting a lower score than I want is that it can be demoralizing, even if I was expectin…

Do you guys PT in the same conditions as you would test? Meaning you recreate the test environment as closely as possible? That's what I try to do because even small changes in testing conditions can throw you off. For example, I had been using a t…

@detroit_suzuka said: .... And dad wanted to do a PT. I still have not started the PT yet, I feel bad ... Wow can't imagine having to do intensive studying with a 4-year old around. And one that wants to play! Hats off to you...and all …

Thanks so much for starting this thread! I'm signed up for November too and I had a mini freakout last week since my scores had plateaued. Decided to step away from PT-ing and go in-depth section by section. Started in RC, did 6 sections and BRed an…

@"Theo --Student Service--" Got it. Thanks!
-
@"Theo --Student Service--" Makes sense. Thanks for the update! Any comment on the changed curve scores that I mentioned above?

Hi @karko2525! You're not alone. Many people are probably going through a similar situation right now. And in general, disappointment with scores is a normal part of the whole LSAT process. Try and focus on the fact that you can take it again, excep…

@"Theo --Student Service--" I was also curious about whether this was some kind of software update. It seems that it takes a ton of data to get to the "target time" metric as I've done basically all of the cc, taken 6 PTs and completed many custom p…

You're almost there! Keep your eyes on the goal. It's like running a marathon and dropping off at mile 23. You're in the grind, but the end is in sight. But also remember not to burn yourself out this last month. Breaks will do wonders for solidify…

@snellla said: Also, I started doing a lot better once I realized that almost every answer is stated in the passage. The passage is really giving you exactly what you need. Exactly what I realized as well. Always go back to the passage!
-
Yes of course! Anything to put off having to work on my apps! Hahaha! I think I know how you feel. Also I'm totally with you in that I don't like to "study" per se, I like getting on with actual questions and PTs. Glad I'm not the only one! Y…

Hi @karko2525! Congrats on taking the test! I haven't taken the exam yet, but I can imagine how you feel. Ruminating and allowing your mind to go to the worst case scenarios are NOT fun. When I'm feeling this way, I ask myself, what can I change by …
-
Don't feel defeated! You can definitely do this! I don't know what the standard pricing is but that sounds a little ridiculous. I don't know any 7Sage tutors, but I'm sure they would be much better with the pricing. As for RC in general, I say just…
-
I had a similar issue with timing. I forced myself to do timed sections and timed PTs. It forced me to get faster because there was no other option. Either my brain learns to process faster, or I get better at choosing to skip questions I think will…

I am currently working while studying (or is it studying while working?). Anyway I was in Provence a few summers ago, and I wanted to visit both a particular city and a national park, all in the span of a day, which was logistically impossible. Inst…
-
Best thing to remember, keep calm cause you can do this! So stop reading this forum and get some good sleep! Once you've taken the test, I'd be curious to know about how many PTs you've done? If it's under ten, then I would assume a larger variance…
-
Hmm I don't know about last minute tips except to say that all answers are IN the passage, look carefully because it's there! In my experience, RC passages don't have deeply buried implicit assumptions (unlike those very difficult LR questions). As…

@deo22 Good luck! And let us know how it went this time.

Hi @jk3997! I'm not taking the October exam, but just wondering of all those resources you listed, which one you found most helpful for LG and LR?
-
Wow this is a nightmare! I'm sorry you had to deal with such a stressful testing experience! I would DEFINITELY reach out and complain to LSAC because all those interruptions (come on, multiple calls DURING the exam??) will probably materially affec…
-
I agree with @jpgreenstein. Examine why you are panicking because there are probably ingrained beliefs and cognitive distortions. Bring them out to the light and examine them one by one. Just bringing them into the realm of conscious thought can hel…

Thanks @noonawoon! I was leaning toward skipping the 7Sage CC for RC.

@"Lucas Carter" You say, "I spent 2 years tirelessly grinding, putting my entire being into the test." Does this mean you were studying for the test full-time for 2 years? Or were you also in school/working? If so, how did you balance everything?
-
@lexxx745 Maybe @"Lucas Carter" means speed reading as in those courses and tricks people talk about where you can read a whole page in 3 seconds (or something similar). For me, what you describe isn't "speed" reading, it's just better reading and s…

Lucas this is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to share your hard-earned wisdom. As I read through your list, so many times I found myself saying, "Yes! I experienced that too!" I wanted to point out one or two here but I basically agree with …

Wow I am so sorry to hear about your experiences! This is totally unacceptable on the part of LSAC!
