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 . We'll ask him how he got the job, how practicing law differs from law school, and what advice he can give people hoping to land in big law.

You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.

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!!

My name is Britt, and I am a tutor here at 7Sage. I am extremely passionate about mental health and mindfulness. On Thursday, March 17, at 9:00 PM ET, the 7Sage Tutoring Team and I will host a webinar about "Combating Test Anxiety." You can register for the webinar here:

https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CPFna0UGTxWom4TGT8Orrw

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,

Britt

What is PTA?

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:

  • RC: My weakest is RC and I’m slowly seeing improvement. I’d be happy to see around -4, which happens occasionally. Shivering at all the horror stories of recent LSAT RC being much harder.
  • LR: -2~3 on good day around -5~6 on not so good ones. Currently really digging into the subtle weaknesses/errors.
  • LG: -1~-2. Foolproofing everyday.
  • Advice I’m hoping for, if any, are:

  • what to expect for each sections (gets harder in what way/easier in what way/time-consuming, etc)
  • if I were to work on improving weaknesses to be prepared for recent PTs, any helpful areas/topics/skills to focus on for each section? Things you guys wished you would’ve done or known before facing them?
  • Thank you, and I just rly hope it’s not as bad as I fear (tears)

    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.

    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 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.
