I am following the 7sage syllabus but I am confused on when I am supposed to start taking the practice tests. Do I just go through with all of the syllabus and then start using them for drilling? or am I supposed to be taking one every week even if I have not learned every subject?
for prep tests 1-35, is there a timeline as to when I should take those, or can I take it whenever I feel like I need to?
Anyone else had the issue? It only started happening for me today. The chatbox icon on the lower right overlaps with the "next question" icon when I tried to do my PTs. Is there a way to close it? Thanks
I was doing great with this course so far. However, when i got to memorizing the invalid and valid forms. I got really confused.
First of, we dont have any sample LSAT questions where this could be applied.
I still dont understand, how is this useful in the actual LSAT? Is it actually worth taking hours to memorize??
Going through some PTs and PT 78-80 have misc. games. Are these making a come back and have they appeared in the latest LSATs?
Did anyone else's syllabus just suddenly disappear???
Hello, I recently took my first LSAT diagnostic. I took the June 2007 PrepTest (timed, under test like conditions), scoring a 162. I missed 5 on LG (-2 that I didn't finish, -3 incorrect), 9 on the two LR sections combined (was rushing toward the end, but I actually got the easier questions wrong more often than the harder ones), and 4 on the RC (again, tended to get easier questions wrong more than the hardest ones).
I've started studying with 7Sage, aiming for 15-20 hours a week for 12 weeks with at least 9-10 more timed practice tests. How much score improvement is reasonable to expect in this case? What are some of the strategies I can use to ensure that I'm maximizing my increase and not just hovering around this diagnostic score? Planning on taking the September administration. Thanks!
I am a Month to Month User. I was working on the Assumptions & Weakening Questions Module of the Syllabus. I went to check how many videos i have left to review, but I noticed that it says I completed 77% of the core curriculum.... Which is odd, considering that my progress was just about 2% half an hour ago. I then realized that Almost all of the lessons in the Syllabus was locked and I need to upgrade to view them. I already pay about $69 a month. Is there a way to fix this?? I need help please!!
I was just finishing my chaining conditional relationships lesson, when I jumped from just under 8% complete to 80% complete. Nearly the entire curriculum has disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else?
Anyone else just working on problem sets and everything got locked as if subscription wasn't paid. My last payment was end of May and it should last until June 21st. I'm really upset right now because I need to study, so why am I getting locked out of something I paid for?
Hey everyone! I joined 7Sage in 2016 and it's been a long, long journey, but I just graduated law school! Having been through the whole thing at this point, I thought I might have some insights people would be interested in. So, I'm going to open up a Zoom session and answer anything y'all want to ask. So bring your questions or just come and lurk. We can talk LSAT, law school, life, whatever y'all want.
Thanks to everyone who came out! Really great questions, and I hope people were able to take away something valuable. And if anyone with pressing questions wasn't able to make it, I'd be happy to answer questions in the comments, so ask away!
Did everyone else's syllabus just disappear and go to the demo version? What happened?!
What materials can you use on the (online/in-person) LSAT?
Can you use both pen/pencil if you like?
How many sheets of scratch paper can you have?
Can I use ear plugs to block noise?
Please try to specify the criteria for online vs in-person LSAT (if there are any differences).
Any official sources to confirm?
Thank you.
Are the future LSAT's going to be online still? Or will they transition back to pen & paper?
This site (https://www.lsac.org/lsat/lsat-dates-deadlines/june-2022-lsat) states that LSAT's are online through June 2022. What about after June?
Any official sources to confirm?
Is there a way to retake PTs on the 7sage module without erasing previous test taking results?
Thanks!
7Sagers!

Hi everyone,
So I have a dilemma -- I graduated with my bachelor in July 2021. I am a non-traditional student (Finance major, started freshman year of college in 2011 and was on and off in school for about decade).
I recently decided I want to apply to law school (something I have been considering for a year or two now). Problem is, I have a low uGPA (according to LSAC). They recalculated my GPA to 2.79 (ouch). It is not what I graduated with, but due to some irresponsible early years in college, the grades screwed me. This was when I decided I wanted to be a mathematical sciences major at one point in 2012-2014, the classes did not go well.
I have NOT taken the LSAT yet, and I am scheduled for the June 2022 test.
I have always been a good standardized test taker (SAT: 1860/2400 at the time, ACT: 25 (ish), ASVAB: 97 -- (Note: did not go to military but took the test because I wanted to go at one point). I do realize, however, that the LSAT is a different beast. Not sure how I am going to do, since I opted NOT to take a diagnostic, I do not see the point personally other than potentially stressing myself out.
My target school is Florida International University (T100 school). It is somewhat local for me and they are one of the only law schools in the area with a part time program other than Nova Southeastern University (which is ranked considerably lower). I am trying to go for their part time program. I am a mom (had my son in February 2020) and it just works better for me and my life.
Any advice? I am so nervous. What type of score do you think I would need to be considered competitive?
ANY words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. This whole thing is causing me anxiety lol.
Thanks.

update: it was just for the LSAT writing portion, i misread :)
Hello everyone, I'm writing in June and just got an email that had a section discussing how physical scratch paper is not allowed and that the LSAC has a digital scratch paper section to type notes. I'm honestly really worried because I've been doing LG all by hand and not sure how well this will translate to the online interface...
I have dumb question that I unfortunately don't know the answer to. I am taking the lsat in either September or October. So I was wondering should I complete the whole course before I take the lsat for the first time, or should I only complete part of the course? I'm nervous that I'm going to run out of pt.
Hello,
I need some advice. I am an international student who is going through a hard time getting my transcript processed. LSAC CAS keeps rejecting my academic records without a proper explanation. Even though, I email them back, I don’t get a response. Next, I end up calling representatives and they keep giving me wrong information. As a result, I wasted a lot of money, effort and time. This is not acceptable. I am extremely stressed because of the negligence of LSAC. I don’t want to keep dealing with inefficient LSAC workers. I am missing deadlines of the universities that I wanted to apply.
If there’s some who had the same issue. Can you please tell me how did you resolve an issue? How can I make LSAC take responsibility for their actions?
I forgot my password, so I had to reset it. Now every time I try to use the new password it says login failed and it's locked me out for 20 minutes two times now. #help
I was trying to make a problem set on here using questions I got wrong on various preptests in Lawhub, but when I went to add PT 62, S2, Q18 (which in Lawhub is a SA question re: planets/solar system) it pulled up a completely different question (MBF question re: computer programming). is there a reason and/or a solution? thank youuu
Hey there,
First off all, how's your day going? I find that we all are so rushed to be hyper-productive we have a tendency to forget to check in with each other. So please do comment below or reach out if you want to have a casual conversation.
I'm writing this with an aimed target audience: Those that are carrying 100 responsibilities on their shoulders without the world really knowing. I'm sure a lot of you are lurking in the background, and that is perfectly fine. I might be wrong (hopefully) but I would guess that a big chunk of LSAT test takers are people with big dreams that come with big responsibilities and draining commitments. We commit to a lot of long hours of prep, heavy study schedules, and coffee. Don't get me wrong, I thrive on coffee and stress. Achieving what I set out for myself is what fuels me everyday and makes me happy but it isn't the easiest.
It is even harder when you have 'life things' lurking in the background. With a full-time job, I struggle with major anxiety everyday. I question if I am putting enough time into my law school dream, if I am studying enough for the LSAT. Study sessions slowly get harder and harder. It's not the easiest getting home after 9+ hours of work and spending another 3 studying. But, I promise myself it will be worth it.
I write this with one goal: To remind you (those who got this far into reading my overly lengthy post) that you are not alone. Somedays, you will see tremendous improvement in your prep and will get very happy. Other days, you will have a bad PT day, you might not be as happy but you must remind yourself that you are achieving and progressing nevertheless. Even with a bad PT score, you have the chance to see how the test tricked you and learn from it. At the end of the day, remember that the LSAT is just a game: You are just trying to find ways to trick it, as much as it is trying to trick you. You want to study the LSAT to a point where you stop falling in all the potholes the test takers hide within the test.
Regardless of all that, you just prepping for the test is an achievement of its own. It's not easy to commit to studying, and you are finding ways to do it. Prepping for the LSAT is no easy task, and can make you feel lonely and overly stressed, so please reach out to anyone whenever needed. Myself included. We are all here to see each other achieve, and screw over the LSAT as hard as it is screwing us over some days.
You have a great day, and congrats for making it this far.
F:)
