These videos are really helpful - I'm not aiming for quite as high a score (although obviously that would be nice!) but the message around not giving up, and having those periods of setbacks is the main takeaway.
I'm slightly older (mid/late 30s) and would find it helpful to also have a video or two from people coming back into study a little further from undergrad days.
I felt this. I am now studying again after a couple months hiatus. this video really helped me because she has my goal score and she didn't give up. I want to embody this into january.
oh man, her summer where she did not study was me from march to august of this year. I simply became so discouraged. it feels really good to just not be alone in that, finally.
i watched this last night and ironically enough, im now at the part of the story where i want to give up and i need support to push through this...... so here goes nothing :-:
i graduated from undergrad in may and early in my last semester, i signed myself up for the june lsat thinking that i would have time to study before then (i was very wrong). i didnt start studying until the week of the june lsat, but i was also balancing starting my first full-time job (i started at a law firm!), so i really didnt do much other than i took a PT every day leading up to the test. on the june lsat, i scored right on par with what i was getting on my PTs, so i was happy but knew i had a long way to go to get where i wanted to. for context, my first ever PT was a 157 which i was really happy with, but i really cant afford law school and have made a pact with myself that i'll only go if i can get a good scholarship at a school that feels like a good fit, so i'm trying to do the absolute best that i can. i signed myself up for the august lsat thinking that i could probably do well enough to get at least in the high 160s, which i know sounds insane, but after these past 2 months of studying with 7sage, i'm right about there. HOWEVER... this is the part where i give up. somewhere between working my new full time job and spending all of my free time studying and then this week getting the flu... i paid for and signed up for the august lsat, but i forgot to schedule the date. and its too late now. So i cant take it. i know its my fault. my undergrad email is the one connected to my lsac account so i didnt get the email reminders... have mercy on me ! im now out $250 and the earliest lsat i can sign up for now is the october one... which i really (really) cant afford and which throws me so far off my game. and im trying to be happy that this gives me more time to study, but i am so devastated. i wanted to submit my application on the first day that apps opened up at my dream school (its a t14) to try to get a full ride, the only way i can afford it. and now it just feels like i screwed it all up for myself. does anyone have any words of motivation ? :,( now every time i think about studying i just feel like a failure. i got so lost in how busy and stressed i was that i messed this part up so bad and made a hard situation even worse. i just feel like i stacked the odds up against myself so much higher than they already were. i didnt realize that i wanted to do law until my last year of undergrad so i already feel like im behind and trying to catch up, and this just dealt the toughest blow.
#feedback I really enjoy these motivational videos, please add more at the end of each (or every other) module. And although a lot of the comments did not find it as motivating to see someone who was already scoring really high improve even more, what I liked most about this video is the struggle. We can all relate to putting in so much effort and then feeling devastated when the results we want aren't there, so I really liked how in the video, Lauren, does not gloss over this. I think it's really motivating to see that everyone struggles, even those at the top, and to hear how even though it may feel impossible, with time and patience, it can be possible.
I get the point of this video, but she got a 171 on her first test?! It'd be wayyyyy more helpful to get an interview from someone who got a around a 140, gave up, then killed it once they got back into it.
Seeing some comments about not finding this super motivational and thought I'd share my journey so far to hopefully bring a little more hope to you guys (and myself).
My diagnostic was 132, two years ago. I studied for 2 months on my own without 7sage, took the LSAT and got a 152. Life happened, I took a break from studying completely, and am back to studying with one month under my belt with 7sage. Took a PT after finishing the foundations lessons and got a 156.
The fact that I not only retained my knowledge from years ago but also improved after only getting started is motivating me to reach for another big score jump! We all got this! The comeback is always greater than the setback.
Question: should I be consistently taking PTs at this point? I thought the course program would prompt me when it was time to start incorporating them. I have taken them in the past, but not since starting the course.
Motivational videos of people studying for over a year are not motivating me lol. I would love to see some motivational videos of people doing it in 6 months or less, which seems more realistic to most people's lives and plans.
Needed this! Currently improving in some areas and struggling in other areas of LR. It really is discouraging when improvement is not happening when you put so much work into the test!
What about scoring so well on pts, then scoring horrible on actual lsat. I was scoring 160s then only scored a 143.now im trying 7sage hoping this can get me to atleast a 155 to get into my dream school. any recs

Speaking of Georgetown, why do the people on the videos look like they are from the Exorcist?
