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.

Hey all,

I took the June LSAT & apparently life hates me. First, I got covid TWO days before the test. I spoke to LSAC & they were ok with me testing on a different date. I decided to take the test anyway. I had previously warned all my friends & family not to call or msg me during the test. However, true to form, my mother called me during section 2. The phone was out of reach behind me but DND apparently doesn’t to apply to all contacts & a loud vibration could be heard. I did not react or make a motion to reach or silence the phone. My proctor did not reach out or mention anything but I’m wondering, if the phone call plus my incessant coughing would potentially flag my session. I’m an adult & aware that it was my decision to take the test but I’m wondering if anyone has an experience or advice.

Hi all! I'm looking for some suggestions on structuring my study schedule for the upcoming September test.

A bit on my background:

I started studying around mid May on Khan Academy/LSAT Trainer. First diagnostic was 155, upped it to 161 a week later after actually learning how to do LGs. However, I felt super unstructured and wanted class-like direction so here I am! On my diagnostic here, I got a 157: -3 on LG (personal best, but abnormally good) -10 RC (100% accurate, my worst section), -5 & -9 on LR (little worse than normal)

My goal is 170+ and I learn the best by doing, which brings me to my issue:

On my current 7sage study schedule, I'll have to PT literally everyday for two months straight. Obviously I know the study schedule isn't the only right method, but I'm unsure when to start PT'ing regularly. I'd like to start soon and get through as many tests as possible. Should I touch on a module or two for each section to get some strategy, start PT'ing and then go through CC as normal? I know I have a limited amount of PTs so I don't want to waste them. Are there any modules you felt were the "fundamentals" of each section?

Additional question: I've found that I've been anticipating the the end of PTs because I'm looking for immediate gratification to see if my score improved. Is this an endurance thing that I'll stop over time or should I delay BR to the next day to curb this habit? I know BR should be done fresh but I'm concerned this habit is distracting me and causing me to rush.

Thanks so much!!

Good luck to everyone else taking the test today and Saturday! Stay calm and breathe, we got this!

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?

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?

Did 7sage delete the LSAT approved tutors?

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! :)

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

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.

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?

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

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!

Hi I took the April LSAT and got a 161. Much lower than my average Pt's. My last 5 PT average is 168.6 and my last 10 is a 166.8. If anybody wants free tutoring I'm offering it. This is would be my first time tutoring someone and also keep in mind I am still in the process of taking this exam. The reason I am doing this is because it would benefit me as well in explaining topics or AC's to someone. If interested lmk

Please also DM a short paragraph where you are in your study journey/ skills/ weaknesses/ how many PTs you have taken/ if you've finished the CC/ and anything else you'd think is important to state.

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!

After a lengthy study journey for the LSAT and applying for two cycles, I finally got acceptances and scholarships from three high-ranked law schools and picked one based on my needs. I cannot thank 7Sage enough for my LSAT study and for the helpful posts on the admission process. The best way to show my gratitude to the study community on 7Sage is by offering some free one-on-one tutoring sessions to students in need.

My LSAT score is 169. But I got that score from a no-sleep night before the test day, and three internet crushes on the test day. With that said, my practice PTs' average is 173. My strongest suit is the LG. I usually finished section 0/-1 with 3-5 minutes left on my clock. I feel confident about LR too. I can do a medium-difficult section -1 to -3 with 1 /2 minutes left. I struggled with the reading section, but I improved my performance from -10 to -3/-5 and finished all passages on time.

Feel free to PM or leave a comment below if you have any questions about studying for the LSAT or applying to law schools. I'd love to share my experience and opinion.

Hi Yall,

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

Hi, my official LSAT testing score is 169, and my practice PTs are above 170s. But I want to improve and break the curve in the actual test. I heard tutoring someone is the best way to learn. So I am offering free tutoring sessions to someone in need. My strongest suit is game. I usually score perfectly with 3-5 mins spare. The second-best section of me is LR, which I am at +- 0-3. My worst part is reading, minus 2 to 5. I think I mastered the idea of structural reading, but my execution has room to improve. If anyone is interested, feel free to message me. Please include your current AVG PT score, goal, struggled sections, and planned testing time, if applicable. Thank you.

It was a huge surprise to me the amount of kindness, supportiveness, and congrats I got from my last post (https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/32155/thank-you-7sage-and-free-tutor-sessions) on 7Sage. Thank you all so much for being such a fantastic community. Many people asked me what they should do to prepare for the June LSAT. It is close to the test day, so I put together five last-minute tips for all the June LSAT takers. I tried these things, and they worked to increase my score. I hope they can help others on 7Sage.

1. Rest and sleep well – I can't emphasize this enough, especially when approaching the test date. I personally learned it the hard way. Based on my observations, a fresh mind can instantly increase your score by 5 points. People read faster and retain more information with a fresh mind than with exhausted or drained brains. The tips for this are 1. don't drink caffeine after noon; 2. a solid sleep routine, including a quiet and dark environment, comfortable temperature, no screen at least 30 minutes before going to bed, and sleep early.

2. Practice logic games – in recent tests, the LG section has been fairly constant in the combination of game types, one sequencing game, two grouping games, and one hybrid game. Practice more with the LG section can help us get familiar with the game board setups and nodes to split/push out inferences. Besides, the logic game section is more independent and doesn't require much supportive knowledge like LR and RC.

3. Review your wrong LR questions – now is the time to use your wrong questions journal or log. Doing this would help avoid making the same mistakes in the actual test and decrease the stress by knowing how much improvement you have made along with the study.

4. Revisit your RC strategy – at this point, it is tough to make a significant improvement on RC because reading is such a fundamental skill that we've been practicing for years and years. It is hard to change that in a short amount of time. The good news is that the RC topics in recent tests are consistent too, including one science passage, one law passage, and two humanities passages (history, art, anthropology, paleontology, etc.)

5. Get distracted – it sounds counter-intuitive to get distracted close to the big test. And I understand all the anxiety makes the LSAT the only focus in most June test takers' lives. But the intense focus comes with more stress, making people have trouble sleeping well and even weakening their immune system. The last thing you want is to be sick on your test day. I broke the bad cycle by doing something I enjoyed and unrelated to the LSAT. Funny enough is that I even went to a Buddhist temple to calm my nerve. When I returned to the LSAT, I felt so much positivity toward the test, and my mind was refreshed. It is like the LSAT had been torturing my brain, and I rescued it by taking a break.

Of course, all the tips above are based on my and my students' experience. They don't cover all the situations. Please share your advice and wisdom below so that other LSAT takers can benefit from them. Also, if you have more questions for me, please don't hesitate to reach out by DM or leave a comment here. Best luck to all June LSAT takers. You will nail it!

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??
