No doubt! What kind of motivation video is this? I did not find it motivational at all. All I seen was someone that was already really good and just not okay with her score... I did not see a motivation.
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.
@timezonereaper She said she got a 171 on her second test! She didn't mention the score of her first test, I'm assuming so as not to offend anyone or discourage anyone who might have seen that as a 'good score'
@timezonereaper Her first LSAT she underperformed. The 171 was her second time taking the LSAT. She said in the beginning her diagnostic was around a 151.
This is not motivating for individuals who come from backgrounds that dont allow an additional year of study. This was extremely discouraging, but happy for Lauren. Congratulations Lauren
If you quickly pick yourself back up again and follow some of her advice in the video, you might not need another year. At least, that's how I choose to see it.
I agree. I dont think this really strikes a chord with the majority of test takers, it's kind of tone deaf because i assume she was upset over getting like a 163 or something. There's a reason she didnt reveal any of her "bad" scores lol. And i understand everyone's goals are different. But thats like saying "ah, damn my income sucks. I only make $105,000 a year", or something like that.
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.
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.
completing it under 6 months is totally doable- but it's something that comes naturally out of you, or something that happens without you putting will power or effort into. Or joining a study group, minor, course, etc. if it hasn't happened for you yet and youre studying on own time, that just means your study method is different and that's ok too. studying time and approach is a very personal thing you can't compare to others. had a teacher tell me all u need is 3 months to study- yeah not for me. def. did not let that discourage me lol.
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.
Yup. I think we all get discouraged and frustrated when we don't see a continual line of progress upward in points. The LSAT is tough, and man, there have been times when I have felt like giving up.
But we all must go on.
I can imagine, as everyone else, who gets to the point...whether 4-12 months from now, after we have taken the LSAT, or multiple tests, and we get the dream goal score. I may say to myself
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith," 2 Timothy 4:7
We must keep faith in ourselves that we will make it there. We are going to suffer setbacks, bad PT scores, and frustration over many Drill questions, but in the end, we are going to get to that finish line. If we persevere through our studies and put the time in, we are going to be just fine.
@OmarAbuaita Thanks man. I needed this. Transitioning into a different career path and the everyday exercises I partake in has been a difficult process. However I keep going
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 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.
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
If you're scoring 160s on your PTs then you can do it on the actual test! Keep your mindset positive, if you can did it once you can do it again. You got this.
#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.

me with my 135 diagnostic
right?
@kisabelo46998 same. this video is not motivational.
@kisabelo46998 How is it now?
LAUREN what are you doing here??? I grew up with her! I was so proud to hear when she got into Georgetown!
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.

@laurennhopee I wasn't referring to the diagnostic test. First real test was a 171
@timezonereaper Her first LSAT she underperformed. The 171 was her second time taking the LSAT. She said in the beginning her diagnostic was around a 151.

I really needed to watch this! I have been stressing out about my first PT post CC. I take it in 10 minutes and I just watched this. God is so good!
I restarted fundamentals because I was not understanding none of it, but if restarting helps me achieve my goal score, let's go!
I like to remind myself that improvement is inevitable with constant effort. Just keep swimming everyone!
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.
My case now. hoping to find others who have made it under these conditions.

you'll do amazing trust the process.
Thank you. You will too. Our plans have already actualized in some dimension

Literally needed this and will be holding onto this scripture as well.

Hang in there Sir! The more you practice the better you'll get!
Congrats to Lauren & Luna!
