this is frustrating as I got a 141 on my first ever LSAT and I know damn well she probably got at least a 160. Cant get into any law school with my score, while shes out here scoring fine and could probably get into a few law schools at least with her first score. I am trying to see the motivation but it would help to see someone with more realistic goals ;'(
Getting there. I started out at 149. After 2.5 months I'm at 158. Planning to take the LSAT in August and hoping to test at 165 before then. Let's do it. 😌
These motivational breaks genuinely suck and make me, and surely others, feel like crap. Every time I see one I hope it's a person who ACTUALLY wasn't doing good on their LSAT, not making a good enough score to get into Law School and their journey of how they did. For instance I'm talking scores below 150 (it's pretty general knowledge that having below a 150 makes it harder to get into Law School, no matter the GPA. Think, if I have a 145 LSAT but a 3.8 GPA do you think I'll get in? NO!! Because on the LSAT I showed little to no, or at least not enough ability to be able to think like a lawyer, which is the point of the test). But it's always someone who "wasn't doing as well as they'd hoped" GTFOH!!! We know good and well you're not telling us what you're actual score was is because you scored somewhere around 155-164 (Lets say I'm her and have a 158 and a 3.3 GPA. The majority of Law Schools will probably take her. Maybe no T-14 but she will get into one.) She also stated that people around her were telling her to stop because her score was more than enough. Now compare which one of those people needs more "motivation" the person who still can't get into any school cause they can't get over the 150 hump, or her who already has a near definite chance at getting into multiple Law Schools. And not to say that those people don't need motivation, we all do!! But for the most of us here, we probably aren't making scores where people are telling us to stop or don't worry about it cause we already have a good score, if anything, those people need less if any motivation at all. And it makes us not so smart guys kinda feel crappy because where's the motivation? We can't relate to someone and probably don't want to listen and receive motivation from someone who wasn't in the same boat (sure we might each be in our own similar canoe, but the only thing I have is a wooden paddle and she has a fully functioning motor). What would most likely be the best way to motivate the people in this course who REALLY need it would be to have people who were making closer to 140's, and their story of how they went from that to say maybe a 155+. That's motivation. How did THAT girl do it? That's who most of us want to hear from. Not the girl that was already making well enough to get into a top 50 school but "just knew they could do better" and then end up making less than 10 points from a "perfect" score. That's just not realistic for MOST of us on this course and on the LSAT in general.
Huge kudos to the 7sage team for these motivational breaks--every one of them I've seen so far has been incredibly inspiring and really helpful in terms of mindset. Absolutely love them.

These Motivation Breaks are simply amazing and really are motivating! Thank you!
crazy jumpscare if you watch this on dark mode
Whenever I hear that people took the test so many times I just think of all the money wasted! I do not have a safety net this thick haha
I cant watch this video, it just lags, the quality is set to 2k, why do I need to watch it in 2k?
no motivation for us with limited internet it seems.
Hey 7Sage, the inverted color on the video in dark mode is kinda strange.
RELEASE THE FIRST 3 SCORES !!!

I hope to be making one of these videos soon!
I love the motivation breaks! We should have more! Haha
I really wish these had their original scores in the video. Going from a 145-174 is a lot different than going from a 166-174, for example.
GETTING ME FIRED UP. LFGGGGGGGG. WE GONNA MAKE IT
We can do hard things :,)

I smell cap. 4 times and you get a 174. Taking it for my third time and can barely break 150. Cap
2 years total? so far i studied 2 months, then paused for 5 months, then studied for 3 months ...........
Bro im just trying to reach above 155 lmao
Love the motivational pieces, I just wonder why no one shares the original score?
this was a motivating one, good for her
I think this discouraged me more
Why dont we ever hear stories about people that put in the work and got the score the first time. I dont want to take this test many times
I want to hear success stories from individuals from underserved communities with challenges
Not motivating if we dont know the original score.
As another user said, these videos would be so much more effective and inspiring if the narrator shared their scores along the way.
