As the October test is fast approaching, I want to maximize my time and increase my score by a few points. I have a general sense of what questions I'm getting wrong/am unsure of and the reasons why I get confused and choose the wrong AC. My question is how much time do people spend reviewing the PT and going through explanation videos? I'm finding that I try to thoroughly go through JY's explanations but I feel as if I'm losing precious time to drill and make sure my understanding of certain Q types is concrete.

Hi guys. I already wasted my 4 chances of LSAT, with one score cancelled, before knowing 7sage and looking up to my 5th test this Oct but I have completed only 30% of the 7 sage curriculum and feels unprepared. Because all my previous scores are way below my goal score so upcoming tests are the watershed for me.

I'm thinking about cancelling the Oct LSAT but before that I wanted to make sure. My question is, if I took my first LSAT in June 2021 and 4th LSAT in January 2022, when can I take my 6th LSAT after taking 5th in October 2022? Is it 2027?

Also, if I decide to take my 5th LSAT later such as June 2023, am I not eligible to take LSAT until 2028?

It's really frustrating to accept the bad choices I made but I am really eager to get into a Law school and overcome this situation. Can anyone give me answers? Thank you in advance and hope you guys have good luck in your LSAT journey.

Hi everyone! I would really love some advice right now

I just graduated university in May with my B.A. I started studying for the LSAT late 2019, and around early 2021 I begun studying very sporadically as my Thesis was taking up a lot of time. Eventually, that same summer, I stopped studying altogether as classes and thesis work pretty much consumed all my time. I did a full honors program in undergrad, so as you can assume, I had very little free time to study for LSAT, and this became especially true mid 2021. Because I knew I wanted to take a gap year, I decided to stop studying for the LSAT altogether starting my senior year of college. Thesis was taking up even more of my time and my family opened a business that I helped out with 3 times a week, so I decided to wait until I could fully dedicate myself to studying for the LSAT to recommit.

Fast forward to now, I am out of school, and working part time in order to commit as much time as possible to LSAT studying. My gap year goals are to save some money, get an internship, and, most importantly, study for the LSAT.

I am currently applying to masters programs and want to apply to law school Fall of 2023 (Hoping to pursue a dual program!). This means I need to take the LSAT no later than next summer.

Now for the question: should I start the 7sage course from scratch? I feel like I have a general understanding of the test, and of the basics of each section. It's the habits that I know I need to build up again. I decided to purchase another LSAT trainer book because I felt very confident after finishing it a few years ago and figured I should re-read (and utilize those drills). As for 7sage, I never stopped paying my subscription because I was worried I might lose my progress, but now I am unsure on whether I should go over the 40% of the curriculum I completed or just pick up where I left off. I took quite the break from LSAT studying so I guess I am questioning just how prepared I am.

As for practice tests, I didn't take too many, because I wanted to wait until I could fully commit to LSAT studying to use up all the practice tests I have available. I definitely did a LOT of drills my first year of studying to compensate for not taking practice tests, but I had a lingering feeling my senior year would make it difficult for me to study for the LSAT which is why I left the amount of practice tests I took to a minimum.

I decided to shoot for the April or June 2023 LSAT, but no later. I feel somewhat confident knowing I thoroughly studied for this test before, but just need some guidance on how to get back in the groove of all of this. All the J.D. programs I am interested in are at schools that are VERY difficult to get into, so I am hoping to aim for the 170s range. As difficult as it is to score in that range, I'm hoping my previous LSAT knowledge and ample study time will work in my favor. Would really appreciate some advice as I work on my study schedule!

Thank you :)

Current PT-ing in the low-170s, and I'm looking for a tutor to help me with LR. I consistently score -0 in LG, -2/3 in RC, and about -3/4 in LR. My goal is to perfect LR and get it down to -0/-1 in order to get into the mid to high-170s range.

I honestly don't need much help with general conceptual stuff, but I do have a few very specific weaknesses I'd like to work on. It would really help to see how a high LR-scorer approaches certain question types and hopefully I'll pick up some useful techniques/strategies along the way. (I do ask a lot of nitty-gritty and detailed questions though, so please don't get annoyed 🙃) Please pm me or leave a comment if you'd be interested!

I feel like I'm stagnating and not improving at all. I have such a high goal but sometimes I feel like I'll never get there. Just need some advice and encouragement :(

I have reviewed the lessons and have practiced these questions and just can't seem to get them. Does anyone have a hack or tips they recommend?

My professor asked me to write a first draft of a letter recommendation so that he could work off of what I write. I met this professor at community college but he also teaches at another university. Should I explicitly state in the letterhead that he is a professor at a university and community college or only the community college at which he taught me? Or should I just leave it blank and let him decide?

I went from scoring 166-167 to a 159 after two weeks of not studying because of school starting and getting COVID :( I'm taking in October and looking for a 170+ and things were looking good beforehand but now I'm feeling pretty discouraged. Any tips for ppl who have regressed like this?

Hello everyone, I was hoping someone could explain what could’ve caused a sudden score increase. For reference, I typically score in the low 150s sometimes as low as 148/149. My last 3 PT scores were:

PT76: 152 / BR: 160

PT64 (Modern): 148 / BR: 154

PT75: 149 / BR: 158

Then:

PT58 (Modern): 158 / BR 164

I just started going through the CC after completely ignoring it for months (my previous routine was strictly drills and PTs). So, while I am happy with this increase, I was curious; is PT58 exceptionally easy? Or should I feel like I earned that score? Is it possible that the “modern” setting inflated my score? Just a bit confused as to how I could’ve achieved such a big jump. Hoping for some clarification. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I heard that the PT in the 80s are a struggle. Wanted to know any tips y'all may have when going from the 70s to the 80s? Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have been studying for the LSAT for about 4 weeks now. I study 6 days a week, about 6-8 hours a day, and I feel like I'm not making any progress. I take untimed drills because I just do not feel ready enough to answer 5 questions under 5 minutes, but I continuously get a 3/5 or 4/5 on a good day which usually takes me about 10-12 minutes to complete today, I received my first 0/5 on a drill, and I'm just feeling super discouraged that after 4 weeks of studying I feel like I see no difference in my performance and I'm almost starting to feel a little dumb, and I'm starting to question my career choices please share your experience with me and how you overcame this feeling. Also, is performing under timed conditions something that will eventually come to me over time, or should I worry about the fact that after 4 weeks, I still struggle with time so much?

Thank you in advance!

I'm really struggling, and I have been all summer, with following a daily study routine. As many of you can relate to, I have classes Mon-Fri, and I also work part-time. When I have an overwhelming week, the first task I scale back is LSAT Prep, but I know this is hurting my performance because it results in an inconsistent cycle of insufficient study time.

What does your daily study schedule look like, and how did you manage to make it a habit? Any feedback is appreciated.

Hi, can I have a small lamp on my desk during the test?

I've seen some posts about this from 2 years ago but want to confirm it's still okay. Thanks!

Which section on Preptest 40 was experimental? And in general, for past Preptests, how can we find out which section was experimental and which one wasn't?

I just took a pretest and had gotten 25 wrong. How should I review or go over the ones I got wrong. What excersise should I undergo to make sure I have gotten a proper understanding as to why I got these questions wrong and how can I improve. Also should mention the ones I got wrong were specifically in LR & RC I'm -0 in LG.

Quality over quantity!

Any tips on bridging the gap is appreciated. Also, fully expecting my next test to be whatever it may be and not necessarily go up -_-

My PT has gone from 156 to 161 to 168 and finally today I hit 171, I'm putting all my time and effort into studying for the October LSAT and hard work is paying off. Absolutely thrilled and this only serves as extra motivation to keep working hard.

I know the option for "incorrect when last taken" is available in the auto drilling mode, but please add it in the custom drilling mode as well. It would be great to choose a specific set of question types, from a specific range of tests, then drill ones I got wrong. Currently, there is no way to accomplish this task efficiently with either the main drilling choices or custom choices.

Hi there,

I recently took the LSAT for the first time back in August this year and am now preparing for the November LSAT, I originally took the Princeton Review course but now switched to 7Sage to primarily for the video explanations feature and blind review help. I was wondering if anyone thinks I can realistically see an increase of 5-10 points on the next test? I plan to spend 21 hours/week (3 hours/day), the only thing I'm worried about is that I am in my final year of university with a full course load and am also applying to law school at the same time. Does anyone have any tips or tricks they think could help me? Anything is helpful!

Thanks.

I have graduted from university with my bachelors and now I am currenlty studying for the LSAT. Last week I sought out an evaultion for ADHD, was subsequenlty diagnosed, and then provided with a prescription for adderall. Will this negativley affect my Character and Fitness questionare for the mental health category??? (depending on the state I end up in)

So when I was taking the test it asked me to take a picture of myself then take a picture of my ID. Then it prompted me to complete a checklist of a room scan. I wasn't sure what to do because my camera showed it was recording with the red light on top of my surface pro but I could not see anything but the checklist while I was showing the room. (Such as imagine taking a video on your phone but only seeing your home screen) So I had no perspective of what I was showing. Did I miss a step? Was I supposed to scan the room when I took a picture of my ID? I am genuinely confused

The title says it all. I am a reapplicant and would like to better my chances.

When I first applied, it was the 2020-2021 cycle and I applied the first week of February, hoping that my January score would help. With this fear of the past, I worry if the November LSAT is too late, since I know many people take it August or September. Appreciate your thoughts!

Hey y'all. I am trying to drill individual reading comp sections. I think that drilling takes some standard time for the number of questions you select and creates the limit based on that. However, this becomes problematic when you're doing a particularly difficult section and you run out of time, even when you're under the "target time" that 7sage suggests. Is there any way to adjust the time?

I keep hearing mixed answers about having to cover your windows. Do I need to cover up my window? It does not have blinds, shades or anything, but I can set up a blanket if need be. Thanks in advance (3(/p)

Hello, I wrote the August LSAT and got a 156. I am writing again in November and I am hoping to increase my score by 5 points. I just registered for a full account at 7Sage and I am wondering if there are any tips or suggestions on how to best use the CC and 7Sage tools to develop a study plan for the next 8 weeks. I inputted all of my prior PT's into the analytic tool and was able to see where I need to focus on the most. Since I am unfamiliar with 7Sage, should I just go to each specific section that's been highlighted as my weak area? Or is there another optimal way to utilize the course?

Thanks!
