Feeling discouraged that my LSAT score didn't go above 150 in the November exam, although my highest pt is a 159 and average a 154. I don't have the money for tutors or these expensive programs. What should I do? my score went from a 140 original to 150 , so there is progress but I need to rack up 160 for the competition in the schools I plan to apply to, now for next cycle instead of the following one.

I struggle most on LG but feel like LR here isn't the most helpful (the teaching style).

Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated.

I've taken 6 practice lsats, My scores were 155, 153, 148, 157, 149, 145

I've completed all of the logical reasoning section of the 7sage course, what am I doing wrong??? How is it possible that my scores gets worse the more I study

Hello,

I submitted my application to Northwestern and registered for an online interview. Kinda nervous. Anyone has any tips? Or if anyone went through it what was your experience?

P.S. It is by far my top choice :)

Is it bad to have multiple score cancellations/ worse than scoring lower on your second test? I cancelled my first score in August of 2021, scored a 155 in November 2022, and now scored worse than a 155 (151) and do not know if I should cancel this score because of the decrease, or not worry because will the schools only care about my 155? I have only 24 hours left to decide to cancel or not and am so so so confused as to what to do... PLEASE HELP! Any advice GREATLY appreciated!!!!

I recently did and canceled the score for my Nov. LSAT, which I did with only 2 1/2, 3ish months of rather haphazard studying. The lowest PT score I got was 145, highest was 154, and I averaged out at 149. I was disappointed, but given my trajectory, I was not entirely surprised. I do the worst at LG, followed by LR, RC is my strongest. I've been distracted by the holidays and am restarting this week. I'm trying to figure out what I should do to move forward.

I am thinking mainly of doubling down on LG hard and making them the focus of five-day study weeks. Two-four hours a day. As well as approaching my LR problem children. Is it realistic to see my scores breaking into the 160s by Feb?

Hey guys. I'm open to giving study tips for those who are struggling to break into the 150s. I have some good strategies for every section. I began testing at a 136, and I gradually made my way through the 140s and into the 150s. I scored in the high 50s for this last exam and I'm applying to law school. I got a lot of advice from people on 7sage, and I feel it's only right to return the favor.

Hey everyone,

Thank you for choosing 7Sage for your LSAT studies. We are happy to be a part of your journey!

If you have a moment, would you mind leaving us a review on our Trustpilot page? We just registered an account with them so our reviews page is a bit sparse. (Thanks to those of you who already left reviews!) Please feel free to write about anything, for example, whether you found our lessons helpful, our tools and apps user-friendly, or how we stack up against the competition.

We would really appreciate as many reviews as we can get, but totally understand if you prefer not to leave a public review.

Thank you again!

Hi, I've been constantly scoring in the 155~160 range which I think I've improved compared to my worst ever lsat score 142. Recently, I tend to get high 160s to even 170 when I do BR. How do I close this gap? Is it just practice, practice, practice?

Also, I am starting to doubt whether it is even worth to continue studying. I feel like 170 is a decent score to apply for good schools, but I am still far behind. Any advise for me? Thank you in advance.

i am aware that the new tests are with only 3 sections, however would it help me more if i continue practicing all 4 sections ?

Would it mess with the actual score ?

What are some things to take into consideration when practicing 3 or 4 sections?

So I got all the books from powerscore and the practice exams and Mike Kim’s book. But I am not sure if I need to get 7sage monthly or the unlimited versions with the live videos since my brain is BLANK. Literally… also it is good to also use khan academy? Some people teach differently and I wonder if it will affect anything? Should I bite the bullet and get the unlimited version from 7sage… they have a special right now you get it for 200$ a month

I tried taking a PT on lawhub for the first time and think it’s best to continue since the actual interface is more similar to that on Lawhub, but when filling in results on 7sage for analytics I noticed that the order of sections between the 2 platforms is different for the same exam, specifically PT 40.

Which platform correctly orders the sections as actually ordered on that respective exam’s administration? Is the original order ever disclosed?

Many thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you to 7sage for helping me increase my score. I lost hope after my first test but after switching to 7sage and changing my mindset, I was able to (almost) get the score I wanted.

If you are ever feeling down because of this test or feel like things are just not going your way, this test is and will never be a representation of who you are or how well you will do in law school.

Good luck!

I just want to take a moment and thank both JY and the entire 7Sage team for helping me accomplish what seemed to be an insurmountable task in the LSAT. I studied for the LSAT every day for 5 months, often 2+ hours a day before working 30 hours a week to save money for my law school dream. Many of the concepts were not easy for me and it took hours of repetition to get a significant grasp of the core principles. Often times I questioned whether Law School would in fact remain just a dream because of how difficult the LSAT was and how much anxiety it was causing me. Because of 7Sage little by little I made significant strides and accomplished my goal. I went from constant frustration and doubt to scoring a 156 on my first and only official LSAT. I am very happy with this score and even felt I could have done a bit better. This is all thanks to the 7Sage team and their incredible curriculum.

If you're on the fence about signing up I promise you it's worth it. JY takes the time to really highlight the important concepts of the exam and even makes studying dull monotonous concepts exciting. Thank you JY for making my dream of going to law school a reality. I hope to one day have such a positive impact on a young career as you have for me.

Are the upcoming LSATs still going to have an experimental section? I just took a preptest from June 2019 and it doesn't look like one of the sections was omitted. And then when I googled it, people were talking about the June 2022 one not having one either. Why is this? I'm taking mine in January.

With score release being today, I'm expanding the original scope of discussion for this. So we will discuss how to respond to disappointing scores as well as considering cycle delays. Hope to see some folks tomorrow.

Choosing to delay a cycle is a hard decision. It's one that makes many of us feel like we've failed. Often, though, we just underestimated the full extent of the undertaking. Law school is hard. It's really hard. And with the possible exception of the MCAT--and even then, for very different reasons--the LSAT is the hardest standardized test there is. So if you're facing a decision about what to do moving forward, you are not alone. I faced the same thing, made a hard call, and everything worked out fine. The decision that was right for me may not be the decision that's right for you. Each situation is a little different, and none of us will be balancing all the same factors the same. But if you're facing down the end of this cycle and aren't sure how to proceed, I hope you'll join me. Everything will be okay. You will figure it out. If my example can be of any help, I am glad to share my experience.

I got a 165 in Oct which I am extremely happy with, but since I was consistently PTing higher than 165 I decided to take the Nov test. My plan was to cancel the Nov Lsat score if it was anything lower than my 165. Well I got my Nov score back and it's a 164. Should I cancel this score since it's lower than 165 or should I keep it because it's only one point lower? A 164 is still above the medium LSAT sore of most of the schools I am applying to (LMU, USD, Pepperdine), but I am also applying to higher ranking schools and 165 is their medium.

I am concerned that if I cancel it will look bad and I don't want admissions to assume I did a lot worse than 165. But I also don't want them to think I got lucky with my 165 if I do not cancel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also my gpa is 3.56.

I plan on taking my LSAT in January and I'd say I'm pretty far into my studies, however there are a few areas in LR and RC that I'd like to polish up between now and my LSAT date. I haven't heard much about the live classes but I was wondering if it would be worth it for me to upgrade for the month and join in on a few before taking my test, or would it be pointless. I'm not sure how in depth the classes are, but I am definitely past the basics of the LSAT and wasn't sure if the classes would benefit me much.

I just cant manage the time to study right now. Can I pause my year long subscription? If so how and where?

These numbers are hardly moving. Granted, I have been on here for less than two months, but for some reason each time I log in and see this I feel discouraged and hopeless. Any suggestions?

ps. I plan to take July 23 test

I started out with a diagnostic of 148 and got 158 on my first administration before coming to 7Sage. Delayed applying for another year to relearn the foundation with the Core Curriculum and practiced for months on end. The progress took so long that there were many days when I felt there is no way I am getting to that 170 mark but alas! It may feel like it's not going to get better but I promise you, it will! Wish you all great success on this devilish test we call the LSAT and sending good energy to everyone applying this cycle :)

Hi Everyone,

I've been studying for the LSAT for over a year and I've hit a wall with my test taking. I started studying Nov. 2021 and tested in August 2022 and November. Both tests I scored a 155. I've PT'd much higher than that and have blind reviewed higher than that as well. I'm feeling extremely discouraged to say the least. And I'm not sure what I can do anymore. I'm burnt out from studying for over a year, and I'm discouraged that I've made scant progress to what I actually want my score to be (maybe like a 160 or a 165). I really wanted to apply to law school this cycle but that seems near impossible now with the scores I have because they just aren't what I want. I'm already also applying so late that it might not even be worth it. Unfortunately law school feels like my only out since I'm at a job that I hate and I just want to move onto something more intellectually stimulating.

I know I'm not stupid, I know I'm extremely smart but I'm starting to think that this isn't for me anymore.

In short: are they any success stories out there? Am I wasting my time if I start studying again for another 6 months? Should I just pivot to a new career and throw in the towel?

Looking for advice on whether I should send GRE or LSAT. If I send GRE, I would cancel my LSAT score.

Me: I attended an Ivy League school and graduated magna cum laude. I work in a gov. job with name recognition. I have been out of school for five years. I think I have a compelling story and am a POC. Standardized testing has never been my strong suit, but I think my GPA/awards show I can succeed in a demanding academic environment. I also took a law course at the T-14 law school during my undergrad. Hoping to pursue a public interest law career.

LSAT: 158

GRE: Verbal (164, 94th), Quant (154, 47th), Writing: 5 (91st)

I'm open to retesting in January, but because I'm working full-time I want to be realistic about how much I can improve.

My read of recent news is that schools are starting to move away from weighing standardized test scores as highly as they have in the past. Seems like there is interest in recruiting more diverse candidates interested in public service. Wondering if these factors might also sway my calculus.

What would you do?

My November Lsat score was 157 (did not expect to get this). This would put me at 65 percentile.

What do you guys think my chances for Ontario schools are? Given the smaller applicant pool this year.

Ive applied to Windsor dual, Queens, Western, Osgoode, Ryerson(TMU), Ottawa.

Personally I think id be good for Windsor and Western maybe.
