If I put my cursor on the recycle image, I used to be able to check when I took that certain problem before (date, number of times taken etc.). I can't do that anymore somehow, and I'm wondering if that is an issue on my end or 7sage in general. Thank you in advance!

Hey! I just finished with core curriculum and was wondering what prep tests I should be focusing on? It's about 16 weeks left of studying. I'm a full-time student so probably could take 1-2 prep tests a week.

Hi! I'm not sure if I'm doing something differently, but in the past, I was able to scroll over the icon that looks like a recycling symbol to see how I answered a question in the past, and when I answered that question. However, that option seems to have disappeared? Thanks!

Hi there,

Is the interface for the practice tests on 7sage the same as how it would be in the real exam? Just want to make sure it's similar so I can practice under close enough conditions like the real deal.

Thanks

Hi all!

I applied today for 50% additional time. But, there are a lot of things I feel weaken my request.

First, I was diagnosed really recently. My parents didn't really believe in learning disabilities, so I struggled a lot in school. It was after taking the LSAT in January I realized WOW, I am holding myself back here. So, I went to a psychiatrist. I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety disorder by two different psychiatrists. And let me tell you, this was a tough thing to do. The assessments were incredibly expensive and I'm not flush with cash. I say this to communicate I genuinely believe I need this accommodation to have an equal chance to do well on the test.

Additionally, I have taken the test twice. The first was in 2018. I canceled that test because I did so, so poorly given what I recognize now were symptoms. I kept studying. I took the test in January 2021 and got a 165, which was really, really low below my own abilities because I spent so much time trying to concentrate and dealing with my anxiety.

I highlighted in my statement of need how taking the LSAT led me to realize I had these problems and that's why I don't have a lot of history with my diagnosis.

This is a new kind of chance me, I suppose. Will i get approved despite a "good enough" score and a recent diagnosis?

I noticed the highlighting functionalities on the prep tests offered on this site... i'm wondering if the format for taking the actual exam virtually is the same presented on this site or if I should stay away from utilizing the tools so as to not expect them on test date.

Let me know and I wish you all luck on your endeavors!!! :)

Hello all, I know there are a few posts on this topic but none of them quenched my confusion hence this post.

I have a few questions regarding the calculation of my test score (PT, real test, etc.).

Why is the raw score out of 101 when only 3 sections are graded?

Is the experimental section always the repeated section? (e.g. 1RC, 1LR, 2LG = 1LG will be ungraded)

Does the scoring mechanism enabled in the 7sage "Flex Score Converter" (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter) apply to current LSAT tests (2022)? Curious as LSAC does not display current tests as "LSAT Flex", just "LSAT".

I'm really confused about the concept of "Flex" so I want to present a possible scenario:

Let's say I scored -5 RC, -0 LG, -8 LR in a 4 section PT. However there were 2 LRs (both -4) so I excluded one section by myself to arrive at a total of -5 RC, -0 LG and -4 LR. Plugged numbers into the "Flex Converter", did not tick the "2 LR sections" button, selected the correct PT number and received a 172. Disregarding the different curves for each test, would an LSAT test sometime in 2022 be scored the same way?

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

was it beneficial to use 7sage and invest In a tutor ? or did using 7sage independently get you to the score you desired ?

Just wondering if there is anyone in the same boat. I have a super demanding job that can easily take up 60 hours in a week (and frequently does). I'm trying to study at least 20 hrs a week, mostly doing nights and weekends. Is that a recipe for burnout or does it sound sustainable? Planning to study for 4 months!

Hey guys, I am looking for a tutor that's not going to break my pocket. If you are someone one or know someone, please DM thank you.

To give some backstory: I have taken the LSAT last month and got a 133. I know not the greatest but I’m wanting to improve. I just took PT 84 and got the exact same score. I have just started practicing again every day for 2.5-3 hrs a day. I am using a mix of 7Sage Study Plan/Course and Khan Academy for drills.

If anyone has any other studying techniques that might help me improve more or helpful tips I am interested in anything.

Hi,

I have been taking PTs and not simulating Flex because I want to practice getting through 4 sections. How predictive of my actual test day scores are these scores given that they are taking the 2 LR sections into account? Is there a score conversion chart anywhere?

I can't believe I am writing this today.

I began my LSAT journey in May 2021. I had a diagnostic of 140. After months, and months of studying, I took the LSAT in October. I was PT around 158-159, but the server crashed the day of my exam, so I was had to write it a week later. Burnt out, I wrote the LSAT - I honestly can't remember it. I got a 153. I was devastated. I took it again in November... I got a 158. I knew I could do better. I wrote it in Jan and got a 160! I was happy!! I wasn't sure if it would be enough to get in to law school because I had a lower GPA... but this morning I got my first acceptance!!!

I am thrilled and so so happy. I am so incredibly proud of myself and cannot wait to see what the future holds. I am the first in my immigrant family to get a J.D. so to say that my whole family is thrilled is an understatement!!

To those who think they cant do it... just know... YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

Hi all!

Some folks told me to stick to taking practice tests using only the 60s and onwards, and to use the tests prior to the 60s just for casual drilling. I wanted to know what ya'll thought and if it is good to throw in an older PT in the 50s or earlier every now and then.

Thanks!

I feel like I'm improving overall, but I get defeated after only getting 2 out of 5 on a problem set after get 5 of 6. Then I'll get 8 out of 8, and I'm not sure how to feel. For context, I've been studying since December.

Wondering if this is normal as I continue learning or if my progress should be more linear.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping warm and cozy!

Any chance someone has access to any of the Kaplan explanations for PT 80 and beyond?

Thank you so much, and best of luck with your study & applications!

I bought them separately and have not gotten the email that allows me link them.

Hey 7Sagers!

Learning how to implement active reading on the LSAT was a game changer for me. In our most recent newsletter post, I convey the importance of this skill and some tips you can use to implement active reading yourself.

Check it out here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/lsat-tips-the-importance-of-active

If anyone has any questions about active reading, feel free to DM me or comment below!

So I've been going through the core curriculum in order, starting with all the LR stuff and now going through LG. But I feel uneasy about the fact that I haven't even gotten to RC after a few months of studying, and after doing just LG for a few weeks I feel like I'm forgetting the LR material. How do you all balance going back and forth between the different sections? Should I force myself to studying a different section each day or week? Wondering if any of you have any strategies for progressing evenly across the three sections and not feeling like you're neglecting one of them.

Across all three sections, I find that the biggest cause of incorrect answers ends up being that I end up stuck between two options, and choose the wrong one. Or, I believe it is one answer, and then overthink it, and choose the wrong one. I start each section with the mantra that ONLY one answer is correct and all others are unquestionably wrong, but I still have a hard time feeling confident in my answers. Sometimes my initial answer is right and I talk myself out of it, but often times I catch wrong answers and correct them before the time is up. Does anyone have any advice for how I can break this cycle? My current strategy has been to spend a healthy amount of time doing BR & focusing on WHY the incorrect answer is the wrong one, and why the right one is truly right. Still, I worry I won't be able to correct this by June. I'm hoping to break 170 on the exam. Any advice is appreciated!

Thank you for everything and best of luck to every current and future 7sager - you have stumbled on a gem of a program within the LSAT world. Put in the effort and time and you'll definitely see progress.

YouVsYou - you know your goals, you know where you want to be, and you know the pathway to get there.. It does come with some sacrifice but I promise you it will be worth it in the end when you get to share your success with close family and friends.

Celebrate the small wins. Celebrate understanding a question stem. Celebrate finishing an RC passage under a desired time. Celebrate increasing your score on a PT. and even celebrate scores that you wished you never saw. Each phase of the journey will bring new insight, understanding, and appreciation.

At the end whether you met your goals or not. I can promise you one thing. you would have transformed into a BEAST. with excellent time management skills, a mastery of discipline, and an improvement of will power to get things done.

With the last two minutes of my subscription id like to say - THANK YOU, love you all - past, present, and future 7sagers - and dominate your mind and ambitions!

I suspect this might read like an advertisement, but I’m not ashamed. I just got a full ride to a T20 law school, something that is huge given my background. After a cycle of waitlists and rejections across the board, I decided to retake the LSAT with a focus on following the 7Sage core curriculum; I got a 9 point increase. The resources provided everything I needed to feel confident going into the retake (I could practically hear JY’s voice in my head—lol).

Trust the process, it’ll pay off!

Hello 7Sage community, I was hoping to get advice from anybody who has been through the struggle of studying for the lsat while working a full time job. I lately have been feeling overwhelmed with how I should be structuring my study schedule. How many Times should I be taking practice tests vs going over the 7 sage lessons. I am just feeling so lost and would love any guidance or insight someone could share.

🙃😭

This was my first take at the lsat and did not do as well as I hope. Should I cancel my score ?
