Hi! - I am registered for the June LSAT, but wondering when/how you register for the specific day/time? I feel like I am missing some information and I haven't been able to find it on the LSAC website. Thank you!
Hey Team,
I just wanted to share that after receiving and opening the February LSAT Score today morning, the relief and joy of seeing the hard work and struggles pay off felt like nothing I have ever felt before. I know the next few words have been shared by countless people before me and it might sound useless and unmotivating but truly, "IF I COULD SCORE A 162, ANYONE CAN SCORE 165+!!!" this test is beatable.
A 162 may seem like a measly score to others on this platform who have reached the 170s and even a perfect 180 but this was my last attempt at the LSAT and I wasn't planning on taking it again after that 5th attempt, signalling at myself to move on with life. But seeing this score as a Canadian Applicant looking to get into Canadian Schools, definitely has changed/altered my life's trajectory.
When I began the LSAT journey in November 2020, I used Khan Academy and on the very first diagnostic test I ever did received a 135... Instantly demotivating, heart crushing, and morale destroying.. but at the same time I was easy on myself knowing the journey will be long - accepting that it is only going to get better from here. Then I landed on 7Sage on December of 2020 through a friend and my life around studying for the LSAT Changed.. I never thought I will be writing my own discussion post featuring my score and trying to muster up hope, faith, and motivation in others to reach for the stars when studying for this god forsaken test. Side Note: I thought the reviews people posted were fake loll... but clearly they are not..
The reason I want to emphasize perseverance is because of my experience... LSAT Attempt #1 November 2020, a couple weeks after joining Khan Academy I wanted to sit for a test to see and witness the experience of writing the actual test. Somehow from my diagnostic of 135, I managed to score a 146 on the November 2020 LSAT. And because I was eager to get into Law School in 2021, I did a preptest everyday from December 2020 to January 2021 in preparation for Attempt #2 (January 2021 sitting) without using and going through the 7Sage course and taking my time with it.. Guess what we scored on our second attempt after a month and a half of jamming PTs everyday before the test.... A WHOPPING 146.. THAT'S RIGHT.. We scored the SAME SCORE as our Blind attempt in November.. This was truly soul crushing.. Ended up taking a break for 2 weeks to recoup and to have an honest conversation with myself - of whether we want to continue doing this and take the risk.. because that is what it is, a risk.. A risk full of hopes to score well and even if we score well to be able to get in. We decided to go all in.
Knowing that my chances of getting into a school with those horrendous scores were all but gone for the 2021 year.. I moved from doing a PT everyday to ONE PT a WEEK In preparation for the August 2021 Attempt #3 LSAT - truly cementing the practice of Blind Review which works wonders!
I started to really take J.Y's advice with LG to constantly do it over and over and over again until it becomes ingrained in our memory.. with that we started going from -6/-5 to -2/0.. EVEN ON THOSE GOD AWFUL SUBSTITUTE Q's... when you implement the repeating the LG section over and over method - your intuition really starts to roll and those sub q's start to become clearer and easier.. LR was getting supremely better and I kind of Understood what people were saying when they would say "it felt right.." on tougher questions.. prior to that I HATED HEARING THAT.. but there's no better way to describe that experience.. Fast forward 7 months to August and we score a 158. I was gassed! But felt we could do better but decided to take a month break to travel across Canada to get away from the test.
I came back in October with a mentality to boost my score and to hopefully squeeze into the 160s.. I registered for the January 2022 exam.. still implementing the ONE PT a WEEK regimen. January rolls around and we score a 155😂... After that I was like eff it.. I'll hope for the best to get into a school a with the 158, if it doesn't work out whatever we tried our best and we move on.. Knowing I had one more sitting available I was like meeeeh might as well, we had already threw all this money into this process whats another $300 CAD going to do.. LOOOL Horrible justification but glad I did it.
We scored a 162 on our Feb 2022 sitting which was my FIFTH attempt. I really went into the exam with no hopes, and a defeated mentality - I want to say it helped because I didn't allow my mind to give the test all this unnecessary weight - to classify it as an exam that's going to determine my life (If I dont do well I failed in life.... NO) - life is more than this test, literally the LSAT is a smidgen compared to all the great things you all will achieve in your life.
So we went from:
November 1st Khan Academy Diagnostic: 135
November 2020 LSAT Attempt #1: 146
January 2021 LSAT Attempt #2: 146... ⚰️
August 2021 LSAT Attempt #3: 158
January 2022 LSAT Attempt #4: 155..
February 2022 LSAT Attempt $5: 162!!!!
I write all this to say, YOU CAN DO IT.. YOU CAN! There's nothing in this world you can't do
Please have faith in yourself and if youre religious/spiritual in god as well.. Because as Drake said.. it's god's plan. There are going to be days where we feel stagnant but during those days we should strive to tell our minds we can do it!
I haven't gotten into any schools yet but honestly at this point to even score a 162 is more than enough as a reward to know I can walk away from the LSAT happy and content with the effort we put in. HOOO-RAHH.
Thank you all for reading if you did and please don't hesitate to ask questions or leave a comment - I can attempt to aid wherever I can.. LOL I don't how much advice someone would want from someone who scored a 162 but hey lol the lines are open (:
Hey,
@7sage I just realized that what used to be the option to "simulate flex" on the PT's, it's now "simulate modern." What's the difference, if any? Please explain. Thank you so much!
Is only doing 7Sage Core Curriculum enough before tackling the PTs? I am currently reading Loophole and I find it extremely helpful. I plan to read Trainer and PowerScore too before I tackle the PTs. What do you all think?
English is my second language. I have trouble understanding texts in LSAT in a really short time. How can I improve my understanding without sacrificing more time?
P.S. I got my BS in the US, so my English isn’t that bad.
If I take a gap year, will my score suffer because I won't be doing school every day?
Hi ! I'm aiming for April or June LSAT (I'm outside US)
I'm currently taking 4-5 PTs every week, and I'm done with the fundamentals.( But I'm still referring to basic materials to build stronger foundation)
Is 4-5 PTs a week too much or moderate?
The reason why I'm taking 4-5 is not because I'm too tired, but I want to take enough time to review, and also don't want to get score back bay by day since I'm not around 170 for now.
Also, I'm taking 1-20 PTs as half PT on days I don't take a full pt. ( Some pts over 20 also doing this)
Saving PT seems important since I counted remaining ones and I think I definitely need to save since I'll probably take the one after summer. Is half pt efficient?
Any advice is welcomed, besides those questions but things in general about pt schedule:)

Hi everyone,
On Thursday, March 3, at 12:00 PM ET, we'll check back in with former 7Sager @"Accounts Playable", who went to HLS, and see how he's faring as a first-year associate .

I am having a hard time working under the time given in the exam as well as focusing on the questions. I feel as if my score is only low because I am leaving a lot blank. Can anyone advise me on how I can focus and read faster?
Any tips please assist me, I know I can do better than the grade I am receiving.
I'm looking for an affordable LSAT tutor I can meet with at least twice a week. We will mainly work on RC and LR. If you are a tutor, feel free to private message me and we will go from there. Thank you!
Is there a limit to how well you can do? I've been at this for over a year and a half now, worked with multiple tutors and put my all into it, but I just can't improve into the 170's. I honestly am just at a loss right now and about to take the March test. I've been missing the same number of questions for the past 6 months despite changing strategies, learning new strategies, etc. I just am feeling very hopeless. My LSAT score will probably be the factor that holds me back from getting into the schools I want. I went to a top 5 school, did extremely well, and have a great resume, but I can't crack the LSAT no matter how hard I try.
I live in Phoenix. Studied full time from August 2020 to May 2021. Took 3 LSATs from January 2021 to August 2021 165-161-158 respectively. Haven't touched LSAT review material since August 2021. Averaged mid 160s in the two months prior to my August LSAT. Looking for a tutor that averages a 172 or above that can help me score in that range by August.
This is my first time studying since August of 2021. I studied full time from August 2020 to April 2021 and part time until August 2021. Took 3 LSATs and had a score regression 165-161-158. At this point I've used most of the LSAT material available. Redoing the questions I worked on the longest time ago. Right now my strategy is to focus on why the wrong answers are wrong instead of searching for the right answer, especially when I think I remember the answer to a question. Any advice on other strategies that would help someone who has exhausted the practice tests and questions?
Hi everyone! I hope you are having an amazing day!!

However, I would love to hear some lingering concerns from you all. That is, I would love for you all to comment things you would like me to discuss in the webinar or comment any questions you may have.
I am hoping that this Webinar can shed some light on how capable you all are of defeating this test and provide you all with some tips on anxiety/focus.
Best,

Hi all! I noticed that in the Problem Set section, under Logic Games Core Curriculum, some games are labeled as PTA. What does that mean? Thanks!
this is definitely a silly question but I'm so confused on how to score myself when I take PT's - I am taking the April 2022 LSAT, so there will be 3 scored sections and 1 unscored section. When I am taking practice tests, do I count my correct answers from ALL 4 sections and then look at the score conversion chart here: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/how-to-understand-your-lsat-score/?ss_completed_lesson=9449
... or do I just count my correct answers from 3 sections? if that's the case, then what score conversion chart do I look at? how do i know which section is the unscored section? really unsure how to get a sense of how I'm scoring :/
Hi all :)
I’ve been doing 2-3 PTs a week after finishing all CC, and have somewhat reached a stable mid160s (BR: 168-172ish). My main sources were PT45-70, always took it under exact test conditions (4 sections timed).
I’ll be taking April 2022 lsat (goal score: 174) so I’ll eventually have to slowly transfer to the newer PTs, but was hoping if I could get some advice on this transition.
Current situation:
Advice I’m hoping for, if any, are:
Thank you, and I just rly hope it’s not as bad as I fear (tears)
In the following statement, what two items are being compared and what is the quality or feature of comparison?

Hi All!
I am having some trouble finding this information. I am aiming for a 174, but I can't find much information on how many total questions wrong I can hit to achieve that score in the current format of 1LR 1RC and 1LG. Does anyone know? The 7sage calculator seems a bit wonky.
