Hi 7Sage,

Some people might disagree with this, which is understandable, but after doing many practice tests, I feel like some practice tests are much harder than others. I understand it is standardized, but I felt like PT 62 was way harder than the 11 other PTs i've taken in the past.

For example, on PT 53 I got 3 LR Qs wrong. But on PT 62, I got 13 wrong! I usually average -5 to -6 on LR, so this would extremely weird and I felt like PT 62 was the hardest PTs I have ever taken. PT 62 was so hard I felt like it was so different.

Are some tests just outliers to the rest?

Thanks!

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I am considering to register for the June LSAT as a waitlisted applicant for UC Davis Law. However, I haven’t heard back from two other schools. The deadline to register for June LSAT is April 27th.

My understanding is if I do register for June LSAT my other two apps will be on hold? Does that sound about right?

Thanks and good luck! :)

Hi.

I've been using Powerscore website's Historic LSAT Score Conversions table as it was the first result that came up on Google search for LSAT score conversion to calculate my scores but when I used 7Sage's Modern LSAT Score Estimator today for the first time I scored 3 points higher on the test I took today. I made sure I checked off the box for two LR as it was preptest 40.

Which score conversion should I use going forward?

I was just wondering when you take a PT, if you complete all four sections but at the very end click "simulate modern" (formerly simulate flex) to have a more accurate score which you would see on test day, would that extra section and all your answers still be saved?

Thx!

I'm confused when it comes to the best way to take older prep tests: simulate modern vs. don't simulate. The old tests had two LR sections, which isn't representative anymore except that it provides a four-section experience, thereby helping test-takers when it comes to training our stamina for the actual test. However, taking a 3-section test also isn't really representative because the actual test will have an experimental section. I'm also concerned that by cutting out the second LR section, the final score will be skewed. For example, the last test I took I did both LR sections. One I got -2 and the other I got -7! If the -7 section had been cut, my score would have been boosted significantly, possibly leading to a false sense of progress. How does 7Sage determine which LR section to cut?

Does anybody know when the inflated LSAT scores will drop for school median averages? I've been told they're from the LSAT Flex which ended back in August of 2021. I've seen some median LSAT averages go up 3-4 points for some of the top 25 schools.

Hello! In the curriculum there is a plethora of problem sets. I could have sworn you stated to NOT do any more than like 10 questions of the same question type as it can be harmful. If this is true.. do I just do 2 sets of 5 and come back after I start PT'ing once I identify my weaker question types?

So I took the LSAT in Jan (166), Feb (165), and March (169).

I obviously can't take it again until August when the LSAC cycle restarts.

My target school (the only one I can realistically go to geographically) has a median of 169. I am applying early there in the fall. My GPA is about .1 below their median. I spoke to someone in admissions and he said that 169 was great, but there was a possibility that their median could go up to 170, but that they won't know until August. He also said it doesn't matter how many times I take this infernal test because they only take the highest.

I'm forced to take a break now because of testing limits, but does anyone think it's worth putting myself through this a 4th time? My PTs were always higher, but I am a very nervous test taker and that test day penalty has been super real for me.

I don't want to 'be lazy' and give up, I just need some advice from others going through this! I'm open to any and all feedback, expect the kind that's mean. This test is mean enough :P

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I received a waitlist from UC Davis Law. My highest LSAT is in the low 150s and have taken the LSAT four times.

Should I retake the LSAT to get off the waitlist? How should I navigate the waitlist process?

Thank you for your time and best of luck to you all :)

I've notice this problem for three days.

But, I experienced no such problems when using my laptop.

does anyone have the same problem?

I am scoring around 162-164 on my timed tests , and am looking to get a 170 on the April exam. My BR scores are usually in the low/mid 170s. My highest timed score was a 167, with BR 177. The closest I've gotten to that since has been a 165. Any advice on what to focus on for the rest of the time until April? Timed sections? More practice tests? I've increased to two a week.

My average scores for each section: RC: -7, LR: -5, LG: -4

I’m pretty new to prep, and I just started taking full-length timed sections. The degree to which stress and panic impacts performance on this test is bewildering to me. I took a timed games section, got thrown off guard by a question or two, and began to panic. I then forgot my technique, muddled through the rest of the section, and wound up going -7. Once I regained my composure, I took another section—this time much calmer and more focused. -2. Does anyone else experience these kinds of fluctuations based on mentality?

Maybe you can implement a second set of navigational buttons on top of the page or maybe under the videos and above the transcript in the prep course. If you are trying to jump quickly between lessons it takes a decent amount of scrolling to get to the bottom of the transcript. Not a deal-breaker by any means, but can be helpful. Thank you for the great content.

Title pretty much says it all, I have gotten to a point in my studies where I feel like I know the content well enough to consistently score in the mid 150s, yet when it comes time to take a PT I just panic and don’t perform to the best of my abilities. The reason it’s so frustrating is just because I know I am smart enough, something just happens in my head whenever it comes to taking a PT that makes me panic and not think clearly, and I’m scared it’ll happen on test day. Should I give up? Is the test just not for me? These are questions that I have been asking myself lately, and it’s a tough pill to swallow considering the years I’ve put into this test, and how I have planned my entire education around going to law school. I’m not sure what to do anymore with really no improvement on RC and LR, just consistently getting around -11 on LR and even after blind reviewing I just feel as if I don’t internalize the information. For RC, there just seems to be absolutely no hope and I think that is where my score will be impacted the most, I usually miss around 14 and don’t even get to the last passage just because I am trying to be accurate with only 3 passages. However, I can’t even do that it seems, just constantly missing questions and not internalizing anything I read regardless of how much I take my time. If I could just find a way to score a 155 consistently, which doesn’t seem like a crazy stretch of the imagination, then my life would be made. Any tutor recommendations would be super appreciated and I really apologize for this mess of a post, I just felt the need to express my struggles and ask the 7sage community for help when I feel I need it most.

So, I definitely underestimated this exam my first time around (insert clown face emoji) and now I'm planning on taking the exam in Sep or October 2022. Without much preparation at all, I took the exam and got a 138. Needless to say, I was devastated. I'm trying to pick my confidence/dignity to try this again and take the exam seriously. Ideally, I would like to aim for the 160s. Am I delusional to expect such an increase?

I am about 75% done with the core Curriculum. I have to go back and finish some of the LR practice problem sets. I’ve been doing the CC since second week of February, and been grinding non stop studying each of these sections. I started taking PTs again this weekend. And literally didn’t improve but went down in score. Has this been happening to anybody else? Since not only has my morale gone down now. I’m starting to panic With test date being June 11. And I can’t even break into the 140s yet. With the score I need for my score being a 146-148.

Any advice would super appreciated!

Hello everyone!

It's been about 8 months since I started studying for the LSAT, and I have just reached 160/low 160s. My diagnostic was a 148. However, I might have to study for another year because my goal score is a 172+. I study for about 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am drilling sections, taking practice tests, blind reviewing the ones I got wrong, have been using 7sage, and reviewing Loophole. Is it normal to study 1-2 years for the LSAT? Feeling very discouraged and incompetent right now because I am seeing people study for about 6-8 months and get 170+. Any advice will help. Thank you!

My internet connection is fine. But the video just cannot be played. I refreshed the page many many times. It is so frustrated. And I have so much limited time for studying, it just wastes my time.

Hey all! I took the lsat a year ago now, and my 166 wasn't enough to get into the schools I was looking at, so I am going to be retaking the test after this summer. What is the best way to go about studying so that I don't retread old territory?

How will Lsac show writing written on paper to law schools? is it a scan of the hand writing or they will show the typed version? I have been approved for paper and pencile accomodations but Im just wondering that how they will show it on my account to law schools cause if they just show a scan of it then it might affect schools decision as they would find out that I was accomodated upon my disability

Hey 7Sagers, I just wanted to point out some issues I have had with the website the past few weeks (Idk if you guys have experienced the same but I hope things can change soon as it is becoming a bit annoying) (Using Chrome on Dell Inspiron).

Issue 1 - When I review my PT results with the list of questions with times, answers etc. when I move my mouse over any of the time that I took to answer the black box comes up showing my time in each visit, the target time but it will not go away once my curser is off it. It stays up regardless of what question I pull up and it gets in the way forcing me to reset the page.

Issue 2 - When I go into my analytics and try to see the changes in BR in my chart, the lines for question incorrect answers do not change. It is becoming increasingly hard to review my analytics, something that is both extremely important to not only my studies but to what 7SAGE has as a website that puts it far ahead of other Prep courses/sites.

Really hope these gets fixed as it is becoming increasingly frustrating to even look over PT answers for review and analytics to see what I got wrong.

I've finished almost all the CC and I've taken 5 full length tests so far. I'm registered for the April exam and intend to take the June exam as well. I'm struggling to bridge my BR and timed scores. Timed I have yet to break 155. BR I'm hitting 161-164. My goal is a 165+. Any advice on whether I should continue to take full length tests and crank them out or focus on drilling timed sections? I'm feeling a bit stuck and anxious. Thanks!

I remember having an option to put notes side by side videos. Was this feature removed, or is it still an available?
