Hello all,

Quick question. Is it a bad idea to do some jumping around in the curriculum? The reason I ask is when my brain is vaped out on LR/RC questions I could still do LG questions/sections instead of having to take a break or stop for the day.

Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with this? I understand the reason to proceed through the curriculum from start to finish and not make any jumps, but I also think I could make more efficient use of my time.

Thank you for weighing in if you choose to!

currently scoring -10 ish on all categories. Best tips to improve? have been studying about 25 days.

Keep reading about the ABA potentially making the LSAT optional -- most recently that if passed it could apply as early as 2023. Does anyone at 7S have clarity on what that means specifically -- would that be test optional for THIS current admissions cycle? Love to hear any thoughts!

Thanks

Hello,

I wanted to get some opinions. I have not done any LSAT prep before, and I just took my first practice/diagnostic exam today and got a 149. My goal score is 170+ and I want to ideally take the October or November LSAT. Given the fact that I have essentially not studied at all yet, do you guys think I have a shot at raising my score 21+ points in time for either of the exam dates?

Thanks!

When I am blind reviewing on here after a full prep test am I supposed to be re-doing the questions to double check or just marking them with the tab button to show that I was not 100% correct on the answer?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've been studying for the LSAT for about a year now. I've dabbled with 7Sage in the past but ended up going with a different program. I'm back because I love the podcasts and hear great things about the community.

3 months up to this June LSAT I had scored a 167 three times on PTs (along with an unfortunate 164 and 160). My original goal was 170, but I was feeling proud of myself so I decided to go through with June and aim for high 160s. Test day my nerves got the best of me. I didn't even finish games which I typically get a -0 to -2 on. This snowballed to affect LR, which I also didn't finish (usually -2 to -6). Never been great at RC but hoping to change that. After my meltdown I am considering on pushing back another cycle because I am backpacking Europe this summer. I will still be studying, but PTs will be impossible so August LSAT seems out of the question. I'm thinking of taking more time and evening increasing my goal into the 170s.

I am here just asking for any advice...what now? I have taken the most recent PTs and I usually understand the logic behind LR and LG (although I can always improve). I am unsure if it's worth it for me to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum at this point...is it? Or if anyone has a tutor they could connect me to that can help pinpoint what I need to work on so I'm not wasting too much time on the fundamentals? My priorities are currently to foolproof games, correct my weaknesses in LR and RC, and find concrete strategies for each section so I don't crumble on my next test day. I'll take any advice, thank you!!

Hi everyone! I am starting on my personal statement this week and I am really struggling to get started. If anyone has any advice that would be amazing

Hi all,

I have been studying 7sage for 5 months - started with Khan Academy, etc. I just took my first PT since December (140 score) and scored a 143 today (PT 83 Dec 2017).

I was hoping to see ..much.. more improvement within this timeframe, and feel concerned.. all the time and money I have invested into the course. Accountability is due - my syllabus has 24 of 219 hours fulfilled. How is this even possible?

Did I make a mistake by focusing only on curriculum these past months? I used to take weekly PT's and felt similarly discouraged not seeing my scores rise. I feel like I am missing stamina and key ideas such as "Flawed pattern questions" and "Substitute constraints".

LR1 8 of 25

LR2 15 of 26 (How did I manage to double my score from first LR portion?)

RC 10 of 27

LG 11 of 23 (Guessed last game, didn't have time)

Hi Folks,

I haven't seen a lot of discussions regarding study tips tailored to those with ADHD. I wanted to share some things that I have found have been working for me, and tips I wish I knew before beginning my LSAT journey. I hope it helps you too! (even if you don't have ADHD) I doubted a lot of my potential because of my diagnosis however, these things have really helped my confidence to know that I am 100% capable of scoring above my goal, and getting into one of my top choice law schools.

I downloaded the Flow App (free), and it has timers to work/study, then timers for breaks between work. It blocks apps so that you are unable to open them during your study session, and only on breaks. You can set the duration of the study periods and breaks (even include a larger break in the middle.) I did pay extra to have to ability to have the "commitment mode" so you can't pause the timer, and you can block websites in addition to apps (Only $1 per month).

SCHEDULE! I put into my Apple Calendar and/or Microsoft to do App exactly the duration my study period will be and what I would be doing (ex. prep test #, reviewing etc). Act like this is any other important appointment that's non-negotiable. Find out what time is optimal for you. I study best in afternoons and evenings, so I rarely scheduled study sessions in the mornings to make sure I set myself up for success.

Physically put your phone in another room on DND. It might seem obvious but it will help you from subconsciously grabbing it, or responding to texts or calls that can wait.

Do prep tests on zoom with a friend or study buddy. Even though you're not communicating, it keeps you and them accountable and in sync.

Regular exercise, especially at the beginning of the day. This can be a struggle, but every time I do it, I notice I am much more energized and attentive that day.

If you have a diagnosis request extra time!! I didn't know this at first, and almost missed the deadline for submitting the accommodation request for June.

Please add to the discussion if you have any tips or recommendations to add.

Emily

I have been using 7sage for months and this is a new problem. I found a discussion thread about this from 3 years ago but nothing more current. Please help.

Thank you all for attending! Here is a recording of the webinar in case you missed it! https://drive.google.com/file/d/113xTZoCvF-0SIl_xHJ6GPkzuDWEtr3kp/view?usp=sharing

Hey y'all!

On Thursday, June 30th, at 9:00 PM ET, we'll be hosting a webinar about "Strategies to Master RC."

For this webinar, we'll be going over the best way to tackle reading through RC passages (especially the more dense, 5-star ones) and how to strategically eliminate answer choices so that you can leave each question with 100% confidence! If you feel like you struggle to identify the main idea of a passage, find yourself going back to the passage for multiple questions, or get trapped between two answers that both seem correct, this webinar will give you the tools you need to address those issues and master this section!

→ Please register for the webinar here:

Hi friends,

Just wanted to come on here and leave a short message for ya'll. I know studying for the LSAT is exhausting and mentally excruciating. You go through hill after hill after hill - sometimes seeing no improvement for weeks. But don't give up! In anything challenging in life, the majority of people give up right before the see the results of their hard work. Hang in there and keep your head up. Don't get discouraged by some of the comments under videos "10/10" on this section haha. I've been there too. Just shut out the noise and do your own thing. Sometimes you don't see improvements in your LSAT score for weeks - heck sometimes it even goes down. But look at it a different way. With every topic you study, every question you look at, you are one step closer to your dream score. Take it slow and breathe. You can do this!!!!!

I have been taking PrepTests from earliest to latest and have been steadily improving, with my highest being a 164 and hovering around the 162 area. But when I took PrepTest 90, I felt amazing and was flying through the questions much faster and with more ease than I usually do. I ended up getting a 168. I checked and saw that PrepTests 90-92 were based on the first LSAT Flex in May 2020. How do these PrepTests compare with the current online LSAT? Are they around the same difficulty? I am taking the upcoming June LSAT. Thank you.

I cannot devote full-time to the taking of LSAT because I need to go out and work. Usually, I get 4-6 hours of studying time per day. I am wondering if any of you might be able to take a look at my study plan and provide any feedback.

Day 1: Take a new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 2: Blind review the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 3: Create a wrong answer journal for LR and RC for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 4: Categorize the LR question stems for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Day 5: Foolproof the LG section for the new PT + Review 1 old LG section

Any thoughts?

Hello everyone!

I applied for Fall 2022 but did not get into my top choices so I'm reapplying.

Here's my numbers,

Untimed:

LG: usually -2 or under

LR: usually -4 or under

RC: RC varies pretty wildly, usually ranges from -4 to -10

Timed:

LG: around -4

LR: around -8

RC: usually around -10

This tells me that I could score anywhere from 160 to 170ish (My real score is around 160 but goal is to hit 170+)

*One caveat is that these estimates are based on individual sections of different PTs. So it does not take into account how some sections might be easier than others for a specific test (I.e., they are not representative of actual tests). The numbers can be skewed if I happened to use hard RC LR LG when I study and vice versa.

I don't think I can improve a meaningful amount on RC, and I'm signed up for August LSAT.

I realize that the best way to get the most accurate score is to get an average of fresh PTs in the late 80s and early 90s which I have not done so far. I plan to do this about a month before the real test.

I'm tempted to take a fresh PT untimed to see my full potential, I would estimate my score to be anywhere from high 160s to mid 170s.

Should I push back the exam? Is 3 months enough time to improve from averaging 160 to averaging 170?

I study about 2-3 hours a day almost every day.

Any advice will be much appreciated! :)

Hi Everyone! I started to do Prep Tests (have completed about 6), however on the Analytics page, it doesn't seem to update and only shows data from one test. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Im just wondering is there any limitations on writing test date? can I do it the day after the multiple choice test ?

How long does it typically take to study for the LSAT? I’m retaking my test in September and I’m working through the core curriculum now. Is 3 months studying 30-40 hours a week a reasonable timeframe?

hello guys,

i am looking at the lsat score conversion calculator that is provided on the home page of 7 sage. What is confusing me is this: when i put the number of questions that I'm allowed to get wrong in order to calculate what it takes to get the score i want, should I put the number of wrong questions on the entire 100 questions of the test or only on the 3 graded sections which make up roughly 75 questions? i ask this because if lets say I make 20 mistakes in 100 questions, but 15 in the 75 questions, I am not sure which one to put in the conversion calculator. When I put 15, I obviously get a better score, but im not sure if this number is inflated because it is assuming a lower group of questions per test then the calculator intends for me to assume.

I would appreciate your help as it would allow me to see how close to my goal I really am!

So I took the June 2007 test before doing much of the material. I missed one question in logical reasoning and two in reading comprehension (and bombed the logic games). Obviously I'm focusing my prep on the logic games right now. But should I feel secure in my ability with the logical reasoning+reading comprehension? Could that one test be a fluke? How much prep should I do with those two sections? I'm aiming for an excellent score; I'd like to go to a top law school.

Thanks!

Hi, does anyone know how to get rid of the blue messenger icon in the corner? It directly covers the "next" arrow when I'm taking practice modules and it's really annoying. Can't seem to find a way to disable it.

Hi Yall,

Anybody have any idea when LSAC will be releasing new tests for practice?
