    Hi everyone,

    I am going back to school next week. I will also be working full time job so it is going to be nearly impossible for me to study for the LSAT for the next 3 months.

    I have been using 7sage since May and have noticed a lot of improvement. I am currently on track to finish the entire LR section of the core curriculum before I go back.

    I plan on taking the LSAT next summer (August/September) and apply to law school in 2024. What can I do to not lose everything I have worked so hard for from now until winter break when I can begin to study again?

    If you go to "LSAT questions" then "Drills", there are two labels under the logic game category called "grouping with sequencing" and "sequencing with grouping". Is there a difference between them?

    Just did PT-88 and ran out of time in middle of Game-3.

    G2 and G3 felt much much harder than any other test I've taken, and this after doing not so easy G1 that took ~11 mins.

    I went -1/24 today morning on another PT-39 LG, so not sure if PT-88 is an outlier or not.

    Is PT-88-LG a known extremely-hard section? How did those who usually are -0 in LG did on this PT?

    I’m trying to figure out how to move forward with my LSAT studying and thought I’d ask you guys.

    My practice LSAT scores are in the mid-150s. That’s good enough to get in to my schools of choice, but I’d like to get a 160 for better scholarship opportunities. I’m taking the September LSAT, so I’m running out of time. I have purchased the 7Sage course and am going through their study schedule example. Should I focus more on practice tests and blind reviewing them or on the curriculum? Or curriculum with a mix of practice tests? Is a 160 even doable at this point?

    Any bits of wisdom or advice is much appreciated!

    Hi everyone, I just started studying for the LSAT this week and plan to take the April 2023 LSAT. I was wondering what the best way to study is. Should I just go down the course list and learn every single tab, or is that a waste of my time and is there a more effective way to study? Also, when should I start taking prep tests? Because currently, I feel like I won't be ready to take a full-length prep test for at least like 2 more months. Please share your experience and how you started studying, and when you took your first prep tests.

    Hi all,

    So when I was little (like 8), I was diagnosed with a learning disability similar to dyslexia. Because of my learning disability, I have always (including in high school and university) had learning accommodations, including extra time on tests.

    Because I have never taken the SAT (I'm Canadian) or any other standardised tests accepted by LSAC, I have to provide proof of my learning disability and previous use of accommodations to them. I have documentation from both my university and my high school, which verifies my disability and the use of accommodations on all previous tests (including my diplomas).

    I am struggling with getting a qualified professional to fill out the qualified professional form. When I called them and asked who counts as a qualified professional, they said it had to be a doctor who had previously assessed me. Unfortunately, the last person who assessed me seems to be inaccessible. I've done everything I can think of to contact her! I've looked on Linkedin, called my high school because she worked with them, and even called the psychologist association to see if they could contact her on my behalf. Still nothing. I've also tried seeing if another psychologist could reevaluate me, and it seems like I don't have the time or resources to get reevaluated in time.

    So what I am wondering is if anyone has been in a similar situation or knows anyone who has and can give me some advice! Do you think they will grant my request even without a qualified professional? Am I misunderstanding who counts as a qualified professional or missing something? Any advice or insight would be great!

    If you read this far, thank you! I'm terrified of having to take this test without accommodations because it will be the first I take a test without them in my life :(

    Is it better to study for the LSAT where I will take the actual exam? The purpose of this would be to get used to the same environment so that I know what to expect on test day in terms of my environment. However, I find that I am more effective and productive at studying when I am at the library, which is where I will not be taking the actual exam. What matters is understanding the material so as long as I understand it, it wouldn't matter where I study right?

    I just finished my first PT after completing the core curriculum. I blind reviewed it and now I'm looking for advice on next steps, do I keep taking practice tests? how much time should I devote to reviewing the missed questions etc. I'm planning on taking the October test and am looking to increase my score by 10+. Any and all advice is helpful!

    So I have just been following the curriculum in order, I am about 9% done at the moment. I scrolled through the rest of it quickly and figured I would find scheduled practice tests throughout. However, I am pretty sure there are none. I only saw prep tests in a group right at the end. Prep tests are not the full length tests, right?

    So I have to schedule and take my own full length tests throughout the course?
