Why does the majority of 7sage PT's begin with the RC section when you select the "simulate modern" format? I don't want to begin almost every PT with RC. Is there some way to change this??
So, I always do really great in practice and drills, but everytime I take a prep test I just dont do well. I will go through 30 questions timed and get nearly every single one right while I am drilling different things, but then I sit down to do a whole prep test and get way too many wrong even though I know what I have to do. Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips? I feel like maybe I am not taking the prep tests as seriously as I should and not acting as if they are the real thing to really see where I am at.
Is drilling mode Auto Builder not working for anyone else? I was so excited when this feature came out and utilized it for about a week before it stopped working. I thought it was a temporary bug but I haven't been able to use it for over 2 weeks now. Anyone else?
Has anyone used a virtual flashcard app? I've got a busy, hands-full life but have small pockets of time between shuffling kids around/errands in which I could squeeze in small study bites but don't want to bring a pocketful of old school flashcards everywhere. I could make my own and save as a digital file but I'd rather have something that could randomize them
Whenever I try to put together drills, the screen becomes more compressed and I get a notice saying I need to wait for the page to load or exit the page. If I wait the notice pops up again. Is there a technical issue, or something on my end? Thanks in advance!
Which section of the LSAT do you use a scratch paper? I think we are allowed five pages of scratch paper on the day of the exam. We definitely have to use one for LG but do you also use them for LR and RC too?
Please advise!
Hi everyone! I was thinking that it'd be a great idea to share at least one thing we enjoy about the LSAT and/or the process of studying for this exam. Finding the positive in something as important as the LSAT can really help boost morale.
One thing I've come to really enjoy during my studies is the idea of printing out an LG section rather than taking it on 7Sage sometimes. I do this when it's late or when I'm traveling. Something about flipping the pages and being able to cross off answer choices pencil-to-paper makes me feel like I'm really a student, if that makes sense.
I also really enjoy using 7Sage's analytics feature. I feel like its all data that has a purpose: to be turned into valuable information so I try not to make the same mistake over and over again! It's pushing me to not accept defeat and instead tweak my ways.
Looking forward to reading your comments!!
is there any way to do a solo section instead of all PT?
I’m new to this site. Does this site actually give me every PrepTest released? And I don’t have to get anything else to supplement this? Just want to confirm before purchasing
I'm wondering what 7sage's thoughts are about not taking a pretest. What I mean is waiting to take a LSAT pretest/diagnostic test until I complete most of the 7sage course. I have never been a strong test taker but like anything in life I feel like with enough studying and understanding how to take the test I can do good. That being said I am only on most strong supported argument right now. Is this a bad idea? Should I just take the diagnostic or pretest?
I got a 167 on the June exam after studying since Feb which was pretty disappointing because I was doing low 170s in my PTs. I've taken pretty much every PT but am now not sure how to study for my retake. I was usually only getting 2-3 wrong on my LR, -0 or -1 on LG, and my RC needed the most improvement. Now that I have to study for my retake I have no idea where to start.
I am a little over a month into my studying and am 22% into the CC. I have been studying with 7sage and the trainer.
Diagnostic:150
1st pt: 154
2nd pt:152 BR:160
3rd pt: 150 BR:157
I am feeling very discouraged that my pts have plateaued. I am wondering whether I should consult a tutor or whether to wait to consult one until after I have completed the CC.
Is this kind of plateau normal with only 22% of the CC completed and does anyone have any advice regarding next steps?
Thanks for your help!
Is the LSAT administered in-person and on paper, or is it at home and electronic? Or is it in-person, but electronic? I am studying for it now, but don’t plan on taking it for another 6 months and I want to make sure I’m taking the PTs similar to how it will be administered on the day of exam. I know COVID changed some things.
Hi everyone! I just did PT 43's RC section and I got -3, but it took me 49 minutes. RC is not my strong suit and I am curious to know any tips you may have in how to review and revise my reading pattern so I can see improvement in my time! If anyone has any tips from personal experience, that would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Hey everybody,
So I am planning to take the LSAT in June of 2023, and I read somewhere today that logic games will not be included in the LSAT after this year. So, should I still invest time into learning the logic games section, or should I skip over it and devote myself to strictly RC/LR, instead? I can't find an answer anywhere online, so I was hoping someone could give some advice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi everyone - I have a 7 Sage Membership + the Powerscore Books. I'm curious to know how you all balance the information from the different resources you are getting, especially when the books/tutoring services/online agencies have conflicting strategies or methods for taking the test. How do you study both at the same time? I'm struggling with this and am seeking advice.
With new (-ish) test day rules for the LSAT:
Items Allowed in Your Testing Space
Generally, your desktop must be clear of anything not test-related and should only have:
Five blank sheets of scratch paper (lined, unlined, or graphed)
One or more writing utensils (standard pencil, mechanical pencil, or ink pen, for example)
A highlighter
An eraser (no mechanical erasers or erasers with sleeves)
Couldn't we theoretically make a Logic Game Board in pen and write any question modifiers in pencil? You could then just erase the pencil, leaving an un-tainted master board while saving time with re-drawing and avoiding copying errors?
Any thoughts on the effectiveness or allowance of this method?
Hey everyone, I basically have finished the CC and am just left with PTs for the remainder of my study schedule aiming for the September LSAT. I wanted to see what would be a good consistent study routine beyond doing 1-2 PTs a week with blind review, in terms of drilling and so forth. What is recommended for the days I am not PTing- make problem sets, do problems of each type?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Not a problem, just a question. There seems to be a certain keyboard shortcut when using the drilling interface. Shift + WIN key brings up a little shield that covers the question and answer choices from view. What is the purpose of this?
I've been scoring in the mid 170s (174-177) for a while now and I don't really know how to make more progress. I've gotten -3 to -5, but it seems pretty random which section I do best at. I've gotten perfect scores on every section across different PTs, and at this point it seems kind of random which one I do best at and which one I am worst in. Any advice on how to make my performance as consistent as possible?
Averages:
LR: -.7
LG: -2.4
RC: -1.7
We have around 3-6 people per study session with folks score ranging from mid-150 to early 170. We meet, solve one LR and one LG sections and discuss why we have chosen an answer we chose. We are meeting in below dates:
9:00 pm-11:00 pm, Thursday, July 7 at Gangnam station Exit 9, Wing Study Cafe
2:00 pm-6:00 pm, Sunday, July 10 at Gangnam station Exit 9, Wing Study Cafe
Please send me a direct message with a brief introduction if you want to join. I will give you more information on a private messaging system.
Starting from a 141 on my first timed PT to getting a 158 on my June LSAT all within 5 months :) [got a 150 on my March attempt :(] I want to thank God and this site for getting me through this because there were times I thought I was done for and that this wasn't the path for me. I thought about turning back and that I was in over my head as some loner accountant who had no background in prelaw, philosophy, or political science; but I prayed and revitalized to keep going and got the score I wanted to get into Houston Law. I am so excited to start my next step forward and I will more than likely come back to use this site for my Bar Exam.
Hello! I'm wondering where I can see my previous problem sets, as in problem sets that I've taken in the past that I'd like to go back to and review a day later. I used to be able to do this, but as of a week or two ago, I haven't been able to. What was Problem Sets is called Drills now. Where I used to be able to review my exisitng problem sets, there's an Auto Builder now. Is the review existing problem sets feature no longer a feature of 7Sage? Please let me know. Thank you.

I have huge difficulty in RC but LG and LR are really not bothering me. My RC correct rate is about 45%. I was wondering if I can give up RC and try to get -0 on LG and -2/-3 on LR. I only need 160.
