Hi all, so I noticed that some PTs are labeled with letters (PTB, PTC, PTC2). Is there anything special about these practice tests, such as experimental sections, or questions that were tossed out on them? Just curious why these PTs were labeled with letters instead of being regularly numbered like the other PTs. Are they good tests to use to gauge my scores?

I have tried linking my 7sage account to my lsac prep plus account and I am being told by my lsac account that "This coach is already assigned to this user". I don't get it and I don't understand why my LSAC prep plus account will not be linked to my 7sage account.

I noticed that some people use the wrong answer journal.

Do you find it useful?

I'd love to try it but do not know where to start.

It would be a huge help if you can share the document if there is any!

Help: Testing

I am not quite sure what to do. I do very well on all the timed practice sets and I've learned all the LSAT content. However, no matter what I do, I cannot seem to do well on any of the LSAT PrepTests or the real exam. I always run out of time and go super slow for some reason, and the answers don't come to me like they do in the practice tests. Any tips to get over this?

LSAT Anxiety

Anyone else having trouble studying out of pure anxiety? Every time I go to drill or even just sit down to rewatch the CC I feel so much anxiety knowing that I have to take the real thing in November, and I feel no where near ready and I feel like I won't be ready even though there's still plenty of time to hone in on the things I've been struggling with in all sections. If anyone has any tips on overcoming this I would really appreciate it!

I'm currently working through the core curriculum and like taking a break to read discussion posts about success stories, score increases, and study habits. Especially with study habits, I get excited at the thought of having completed the core curriculum and can take what I know and apply to PTs.

My main question comes for those of you having completed the core curriculum and are now studying without the guidance of the core curriculum. PTing is relatively straight forward. BRing is all about the review of the PT and evaluating every answer choice you're not sure of under an untimed environment. 7Sage recommends about 2-3 PT a week with BR so account for 2-3 days for that.

What are you doing when you're not PTing and BRing?

I see a lot of users talk about their study habits of 5-6 days a week. What does the day of studying look like when you're not PTing and BRing? Are you going over core curriculum videos? Are you reviewing vocabulary and materials that assist in LR? Are you doing drills and practice sets? Just curious of how you set up your study sessions when you're not dedicating most of your time to PTing and BRing? Thanks!

I took the LSAT in September for the first time and am beyond disappointed in my score. I find reading the forums about wild score increases to be motivating, but then I realize so many people have been studying for a year or more. Frankly, I do not have the money or time to do that. I managed to study from March-June very sporadically since spring semester was in full spring and I work full time. I was able to study regularly from June-August but that was still difficult with my work schedule and classes starting again. I am now amping my studying back up to prepare for the November LSAT, but I feel incredibly doubtful that more score will increase significantly if at all. I am meeting with my mentor to create a new study plan but would like input on here, as well. If I don't do well in November, what should my next step be? I wanted to apply to schools by October 30th but now my timeline is muddled and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks in advance; I appreciate any constructive feedback.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any tips to not get overly nervous on test day.

I took the August test, and despite taking tons of practice test and drills, I blacked out when the test started. On the practice tests, I was consistently scoring in the high 160's-low 170's and even reached a 173 on the practice test the day before I took the real one. However, my official score was much much lower than that. I know that I am capable of getting my dream score, but I cannot help but feel overly nervous when the test comes around... I tried the usual "take a deep breath" but that obviously did not help.

Anyone got any tips before the October test?

Finally done!

After a slightly disappointing result in August, I was able to meet my goal score in September. I'm thrilled to be able to move on and begin submitting applications. For those considering a retake after scoring below PT average: it's awful to have to recommit to studying, but it can be worth the time and money to bet on yourself with a retake. There's absolutely a decent amount of variability in scores just given on whether the test on a given day plays to your strengths. Getting the first-time test-taking nerves out of the way can also help you stay more focused and not make mistakes you wouldn't normally make.

And, for those considering tutoring: Chris Bearne is fantastic! I worked with him primarily on Logic Games and reading, and I think he was one of the main reasons I was able to meet my goal score. When I started working with him, I was comfortable with the basics of the games, but my timing/consistency was not where I wanted it to be: I was maybe -2 to -4 on most sections. Chris helped me get to a place where I was confident in getting near -0, even on sections that took me by surprise. He was also incredibly kind and professional, and clearly puts in work even outside of sessions to be prepared to help his students- finding games or passages that are appropriate for your individual needs, and reviewing screen video of real practice test takes. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, especially someone looking to break a plateau in Logic Games.

For those who have been scoring in the 170s on this years LSATs, would you mind sharing how many questions you missed (not sure if this info is available) and what you're score was? 7sage has only a few preptests that use the modern test scoring with 3 scored sections and 1 experimental, and I'm not sure how reliable the "simulate modern" feature is.

For reference, I just got -6 on the entire test for PT83, and some alleged raw score converters online from LSAC place this as a 176. Just curious as to the real numbers from you test takers, I'm taking my test here in two weeks!

145-171 and going for more

I love seeing the thank you 7sage posts so I thought i'd stop by and also extends my gratitude to 7sage and this community.

I believe its also important to movitate each other and to show that hard work can pay off. It's taken me about 9 months to reach this point and hope to motivate others to believe in themselves and work hard to achieve your goal.

I definitely wouldn't have made it this far without 7sage and without the support of the community so thank you!

Taking one more shot at it in November, let's goooo!!

156 Diagnostic to 176

Saw another thank you 7sage and thought to write my own! I took my first diagnostic and was heartbroken considering my goals included top schools and I was concerned about taking on debt. I used this program for around 7 months before my test and getting my score back was one of the happiest moments I have felt in recent years. To think nothing is off limits because of this website still makes me tear up. So overall, I just want to thank the developers and the teachers for making such a great impact on so many peoples lives!
