for some reason I can't find the email where it tells us when scheduling opens for time slots for the January LSAT. Does anybody know?

I haven't logged into 7Sage in a while because the application process got hectic but having received my first acceptance, I realized I owe a big thank you to 7Sage, my tutor, and the 7Sage Admissions Consulting team.

I started my LSAT journey feeling like I was doomed to fail (I'm pretty sure I took 35 mins to attempt my first Logic Game). I self-studied for a couple of months and was getting nowhere but when I started using 7Sage, things started to click. 7Sage was instrumental in getting me from 151 to low 160s and then I hit a big plateau. That's when I met @Mike_Ross who identified exactly why I was hitting a block and guided me through overcoming each specific challenge I had. By the end, he became part tutor, part psychologist, and part cheerleader. I don't think I would've gotten the score I did without him!

Then it was time to actually apply. As a first-gen student, I was scared of the process so I signed up for 7Sage consulting and had an amazing team to guide me through each step. Their professionalism and enthusiasm in my journey kept me sane and helped me present the best version of myself to schools.

So thank you! It takes a village and I am a perfect example of that.

How does everyone use live commentary? I just want to see if it is helpful and in which ways do others find it helpful.

Hi, does anyone know if we are able to see to see past drills we've completed? Thank you.

I couldn’t speak more highly of 7Sage. J.Y. got me through the LSAT in three months, scoring 172 my very first time! I honestly couldn’t recommend their services more. You guys truly have an outstanding and spectacular team!

Does anyone know what the difference is between the tags "grouping with sequencing" and "sequencing with grouping"?

thanks!

I'm getting late 160s to early 170s BR, but still stuck in late 150s to early 160s in real time.

Is anyone familiar with teaching students at this stage?

Or better yet, anyone who's been in this situation?

I would love some tips.

I think my LG is good, but the rest...

Hi

I am thinking of doing a few drilling questions but I am afraid it is going to use up the precious PTs from 35 onwards. Does anyone know where the drilling questions are sourced? If they are only within 1-35 then I can do drills worry free.

Thanks so much.

Dear 7SAGE-ers,

I have been preparing for my LSAT for quite a few months now, am doing well on practice exams, but have a fair bit of variability between my scores. I have scored as high as 177 and as low as 163 on recent practice tests. As a result, I want to take the LSAT multiple times.

I have heard you can take three LSATs a testing year (from August-June) does that mean I could take the LSAT 3 times before that, and still take additional exams AFTER the June LSAT?

Cheers

I signed up for LSAC's field study which is coming up this Friday and Saturday. I am not sure how to schedule a day and time through LSAC. If anyone has signed up for this and knows how to schedule a time please lmk! Thank you.

I have four months till I take my LSAT in April and i'm still more than worried. I can't stop thinking about everything that can go wrong. I took my first diagnostic on the LSAC website but without the timer feature and got a 154. Which I was happy about to have never cracked open a book but now I realize, Its a possibility I set my self up for disappointment now that time is now a factor for me. I'm taking another diagnostic tomorrow and i'm really worried about beating myself up about whatever score I get.

Dear Wonderful 7Sage community,

I have three disabilities that make a test such as the LSAT extremely difficult. The first is severe ADHD, which is common enough that I don't think I need to explain it.

The other two disabilities are 1) convergence insufficiency and 2) astigmatism. The result of these two ailments is that I have severe visual tracking issues which can't be fixed by prescription glasses and can only be mildly alleviated by physical therapy.

I have extensive issues with visual traction and reading. Essentially, when I try to read at quick speeds or for a long period of time, my eyes quickly fatigue, and tracking sentences becomes extremely difficult, As a result of this disorder, I have for years used a text-to-speech software named Speechify and do most of my private reading exclusively via audiobooks, and these disorders severely impacted my ability to do work and get readings done in Undergrad.

My question is THIS: should I request 50% or 100% increased time? These disabilities are quite difficult to deal with, but I don't know what the LSAT policies are like. I feel confident from what I know that I'll be able to get +50% time accommodations. However, I'm worried that if I request +100% increased time I may end up with nothing at all. Is this the case? Or if they deny my request for +100% increased time will I still be eligible for +50%?

(Note: to back up my claims I have a few decades' worth of professional diagnoses, proof of accommodation on the ACT, and additional paperwork. I do not, however, have proof of accommodation from my university since I (unwisely) did not request accommodations.)

Thank you.

So I've now scored a 157 twice and have a 3.52 GPA. My only goal is to get a full scholarship from New York Law School (about 25% of their students get full scholarships). I'm not concerned about getting in but am likely right on the borderline for the full scholarship and I know I can score better than a 157 if I take the January LSAT, but is it even worth it? I feel like I could definitely use a couple extra points to get me over the edge, but I called the admissions office and they said 200 spots have already been given out so I feel like I need to get mine in ASAP.

I have met my LSAT goal this past Wednesday and applied 8 law schools in Texas this past Friday. It is time for me to move on. I thought about tutoring and decided against it because I would not have enough time and other commitments would interfere with teaching. Here is what i learned you have prepare to how handle the stress. Many do not prepare to handle that part entirely. How I prepare was making the PTs 6 sections. Every Saturday I would schedule my PT around 4 pm in the afternoon. But, I order a good lunch and watch latest movies on Blue Ray. I call it LSAT,Lunch and a movie. I did this every Saturday like clockwork. About 2-3 o'clock I would make hazelnut coffee in mug before the exam. It did help to maintain the calmness before the exam. When I was done with drinking the coffee, I would do breathing exercises and mediation for about 15 minutes. It always worked like charm. I didn't worry about the final number nor did I obsess with the final number. Instead, I just focused on skills and making certain that skills were at the top of my game for each section. I knew that LSAC likes to stick the hard questions in the middle whether is LG,LR and RC. I call it the drain stop because it is designed to slow you up and to keep you from finishing. Now, the drainstop I discover would appear someplace after question 15 on LR and would like more than likely until question 22. I would avoid the drainstop and come back to it. I would stop at question 15 and go on to question 25. I would work my way up to question 16. After I completed question 16, I would validate my answer to make sure they were correct. I did this for a couple of passes to make sure. On RC, I would save the comparative reading for last because I feel that it take more time to think about what is being said versus the regular reading passages. With LG, the drain stop would happen with either 3 or 4th game. The heart of the strategy is do the easy questions first and save the hard questions for later and allowing you maximize time. Also, it helps to go back validate the work to help alleviate doubt and uncertainty. Also, I recommend as you get closer the LSAT, try to pick movies that keep you feeling calm and not focus on the test at the moment. I would avoid movies such intense dramas or horror movies. Calm mind is a focused mind. do not obsess with which section is the experimental. You should treat it like a work order for work like in the real world. If you prepare 2 LGs and 2 RC with PT, it makes a big difference because you are not surprised and do not care about which the experimental. You just do it and focus on your skills and validate the questions after completing answering them. If you the score you receive go down slightly, it is good idea to focus on the skills and not focus the score. Your skills determine your ability to do well. Not the final score. If your score is going down, ask your self is it my skills or something like feeling nervous or scared and evaluate on the basis of that. If it is going down, it means that you are not ready. There is nothing wrong with waiting a bit until everything fits into place. Also, obsessing the final number cause you tense up and won't allow you focus as easily as someone who is calm. Just look on Reddit and Twitter at the people who constantly obsess with number. You can see as people get closer to score release. They check constantly like 5 days before the official score release.. They are wound tighter than a baseball. It is like being in room full of nervous Nellys. I decided that I would not before the score was release. The same thing I applied the same logic to guessing about the experimental section. It saved me from stressing about it. Secondly, I decided against revealing my score online because I wanted to remain humble about it and knew other. I saw how it made others feel online and saw that it made some feel less than. I saw one person brag on Twitter about his score and say this" F*&* U B*(&&es, I am going to law school". I decided I was not that way nor would do like him. I felt it would dishonorable to blur it out and make other feel bad like this person did. I do not like to use profanity. The score I received was very good and allowed me to apply to the schools all through Texas. I guess rambled on way too much. It is time for me to call it quits since I met my personal goal and move on. My next goal is buy law school prep course and materials. This is the direction I am heading. I bought my really nice leather brief case to celebrate my victory over the LSAT and went to IHOP last Friday to treat myself. I got myself Gingersnap hot chocolate and Apple Crisp French toast. It feels good to be done with the LSAT. It is more like permanent vacation the way I can describe where you can watch cheap dvd movies and enjoy the fruits of being done. My Saturdays now are empty in a good way. I am going to wait to hear back from the schools

Hi all,

Any advice on how to incorporate the live classes into the CC? I just purchased the Monthy+Live plan and am planning to take the lsat in about 9 months. I am wondering at what point I should start seriously utilizing the live classes. I noticed the live classes include questions from prep tests beyond the 30 old ones saved for drilling in the CC. That made me weary of joining any of them before I have taken a fair share of the newer practice tests.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I took the November LSAT and I was not happy with my score. I scored 8 points lower than my PT average. I had so much going on and I wasn't in the right state of mind to be taking the test that day. I need some advice on how to study between now and the January test. What do y'all recommend I do to make the best use of my time? Prioritize weak areas? Start from scratch with the CC?

Thank you:)

Hey guys,

Is this the experimental section always the third or fourth section for the new online LSATs? I remember earlier when they first rolled out the online LSAT there was no experimental, but now there is.

Hi everyone! Live class instructor Julia here. I have a few adjustments to share with you guys when it comes to the live class schedule through December.

First, we will be launching a series of 4-week classes through December! For a limited time, join these 7Sage instructors in hyper analysis into the following topics:

Miscellaneous Magic (LG) with Bailey, on Tuesdays from 3:45-4:45pm EST.

Building Bridges (LR) with Bailey, on Mondays and Thursdays from 4:45-5:45pm EST.

Exploring Assumptions with Alex, on select Wednesdays from 4:15-5:15 EST.

A new permanent class is Chris's Office Hour on Wednesdays from 3:00-4:00pm and Henry's Logical Reasoning Analysis from 12:00-1:30pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.

There are also a few schedule adjustments (for the coming week only):

Chris's No Stupid Questions class will occur on Monday, December 5th from 3:30-4:30pm.

Phew! That's a whole slew of changes. As I mentioned in my classes this week, we are always looking to add classes based on what you guys want to see. If you have any suggestions for an LSAT topic you'd like to see go ahead and comment below!

Hi guys I'm in a rut. My Last 7 exams were 169/169/174/172/170/171/169. Wanted to know if anybody has been stuck in this range before and have gotten out of it. If yes what were some things that you did that allowed to you get out of this range and get consistently into the upper echelon of the score range?

Hello everyone!

I am writing this post for the first time and I am hoping to get some insight. I am stuck in the 159-161 score range I have gotten a 163 on my second last PT but I did pt 80 right now and got a 159. Super sad. I have been studying for months now and my scores per section vary quite a bit sometimes I manage to go -3 on LR but then RC ends up being difficult and that tanks my score. I am hoping to get around a 164-166 and I am registered for the January exam. I feel pretty good with logic games and its my favorite section I typically go around -2 or 3 but trying to bring it to a 0. I also noticed for some reason i do perfect on all grouping games ang get one or two wrong on the easy level 1 difficulty sequencing game but during br i get it all right? any tips are appreciated pls!!

What type of studying do I need to do to get in the mid to high 150s, I've never been a good test taker and I genuinely just need help on to know what I need to study, how long I Need to study. I haven't been doing the best with studying and I take my LSAT for the 3rd time in January. I need help PLEASE!!!!

Does anyone who has access to the January/Feb Crystal Ball webinar mind sharing the link and/or problem sets? I missed out on the webinar and would really appreciate it.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi, so I finished the core curriculum and just did PT 36 time and in test day conditions. I usually do pretty well in practice with getting just 2-5 wrong. Today, however, I scored a 146.

During the test, I could hear my brother getting ready for work and my mom taking her lunch break. Its like the anxiety has heightened my senses to focus on those noises instead of the actual test. It left my mind blank when it came to answering the questions. I aim to take the LSAT Feb 2023, and now this has me second guessing everything I’ve done so far. Any tips from people who had similar issues?
