Hi everyone!

Thank you for how helpful you've all been during this process! So I finished the CC and now I have 45 days till the LSAT. I've gotten my score up a few points (from mid 150s diagnostic to high 150s low 160s now) and I know I won't be able to "maximize" my score since I've only committed a few months, but my goal score is low-mid 160s and my top choices are mid tier state schools that prioritize public interest work. So I was wondering, is 25 practice tests in 45ish days too many? I'd be committing roughly 4-5 hours to each test between the actual exam and review. I've been committing around 8 hours a day to preparation so I feel like it should be reasonable, but I am also very new to intense study and prep testing. I'd appreciate any advice you all could throw my way, thank you so much!

Hello

I am going to take the LSAT in November, are you allowed to use different colored pens?

Thanks!

Hi 7 sage,

Is the website currently under maintenance or some tech adjustment?

I tried different computer (even the one on my company), and it still lagged horribly.

as well as 90 and 92

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to brag a little since I'm self-studying and don't really have many people I can tell about this. I just got a 173 on PT 87 (BR 177)! I've been studying really hard and am super happy about my progress. Taking the October LSAT and hoping for a 171+. It's been a super inconsistent journey (I'd constantly backslide into the mid 160s). Just wanted to let everyone out there who may be struggling know that if you keep working at it and stay motivated, you should also be able to achieve your goal scores.

Confidence is key.

Best of luck to everyone and stay motivated. To all my fellow October LSAT takers, good luck in the home stretch before game day.

hey

Ive spoken to a lot of you thru dms and have even connected with some of you guys past that. I was wondering if anyone would be interested on getting on a zoom call w me and you guys can ask me general questions and maybe even I could go thru some questions to go thru my thought process

how many would b interested

and what time/date would work best

Does anyone know when the November LSAT will be given? The previous times I took it, I was given a bunch of different times/days over one week and got to pick when I took it but when I signed up for Novembers, it said that the test would only be given on 3 days on a weekend. Does anyone know for sure?

Hi!

This will be my first take. Is there a timer? or how do you know how much time you have left? I think there is also 1 minute break between the 1 and 2 section, a 10 minute between 2 and 3 and 1 minute between 3 and 4. is that right?

Am I allowed to drink water during the sections? It really calms my nerves, when Im getting overwhelmed. Am I allowed to chew gum?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

Given November 2021 LSAT will be administered in four sections, including an experimental-unscored one, do you think it's good idea to do Prep tests simulating LSAT-Flex on 7Sage? (Because we don't know whether the experimental section will be in LR)

Or, continuing to drill with four section format is still better?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

Took two PT's: PT4 & PT5. Both as Flex.

On PT4 I got -8 overall and received a total score of 169.

On PT5 I got -11 overall and received a score of 170.

I figure some of this would be due to weighting of questions with some tests being harder than others, which is I believe why we don't use 'raw scores', but this still seems kind of off? Is that degree of variation in scoring that common?

Mainly concerned because I am shooting for 170+ and had kind of been working on the assumption that I need to be dropping less than 10 questions to ensure that - generally this seems to be the case in most PT's I have done. Clearly that was a flaw in my reasoning!

What does "Psg/Game/S/Difficulty" mean?

I completely missed this! Does anybody have any notes/screencaps/information they can share from it? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Best,

Jordan

I actually was watching the movie and recognized a logic game set she was doing and I was like I been studying way too much for this test lol smh

Dear all,

Might anyone have advice on sitting for the October LSAT in Asia at a timeslot outside the timings offered?

The current timings take place from 11pm to 5.30am, which are probably the most unearthly hours to take a test.

I've contacted LSAC but they've asked me to reach out to ProctorU instead. Was thinking of asking them on Monday, but can anyone share their experiences and suggestions on what might be done?

Hi!

I am taking my first test in October and I am currently scoring where I want to score.. but should I register for the November LSAT just in case I don't score in my target? Or should I register for the January one so its not too rushed. I dont want to waste a take.

I live in Canada, so the application is different than in the US. The schools I am applying to still take the January LSAT.

Thanks!

I have been studying for the LSAT for the past couple of months. I'm looking for someone who's down to take an LR section and talk through questions together. I prefer a West coast person since that would make scheduling sessions easier. Every week we would meet twice (ideally Wednesday/Thursday) mornings. I can do zoom, and if you are in Southern California (SD area), we can also meet in person. PM me if you are serious about making a commitment twice a week and improving our scores together :)

Hi so I’m currently planning on taking the LSAT in November and plan to retake in January as well and I have already been approved for my accommodations which is great. The only problem is that I originally was doing a different prep course and it started out very well but started to feel like I was wasting my time and not getting anywhere so I stopped that bought a couple of power books and have been reading those. They definitely are helping but I just felt I needed more direction and kept hearing good things about 7Sage so I bought it to give it a shot. I was wondering whether you think it’s best to follow the sage outline or just jump around and play around with the system

If I upload my transcripts to LSAC, purchase a CAS account, fill out applications etc, and decide to apply next cycle as opposed to this, will I need to repeat this entire effort or only parts of it?

So I wrote the LSAT for the first time in June and cancelled my score because I scored way lower than I expected. I'm currently registered for the October LSAT and my score is kind of where I want it. I'm kind of stressed about taking the test because I don't know if I can see my score and cancel it if I don't like it. Is that just something they offer for your first test? Part of me wants to move my test to November but another part of me thinks I'm just freaking out because of my anxiety. If I can see my score, I'm thinking of registering for the November test and then deciding whether or not I want to write it after viewing my score. Otherwise I might just move it to November. Help.

I'm curious -- for those who have already taken the virtual LSAT -- what device did you use? (i.e., 13" Macbook, 16" Macbook) I have been using a 27" Mac desktop but I'll be taking the LSAT from a hotel and am not sure bringing the desktop will be practical (although it's a possibility).

My laptop is seriously outdated so I'll need to purchase another but I'm kind of freaking out about screen size?

If anyone can help, please reply to this thread with your device and what you liked/disliked about your LSAT experience!

October test is 2 weeks away! Just wanted to say you're doing great. You got this. We've studied more than we maybe even thought possible. Keep pushing through these next couple weeks. If you're anything like me, you might be just a bit tired (turns out, working full-time and studying is not the most relaxing combo anyone ever created). Keep getting your reps in for the subjects you need to practice. We've got the knowledge. We've got the repetitions. Excited to see the payoff. If you have any encouraging words for your fellow October test takers, post them below!

Hi guys. I have been hesitant to post my story because I am always super hard on myself and didn't wanna share this but I thought it could be beneficial. I started my LSAT journey 7 months ago, but struggle with severe test anxiety and just general confidence issues. I had been PT-ing in the 160s prior to my August LSAT, but took August and got the lowest score I've ever gotten, even lower than my diagnostic. I had a panic attack during logic games and kind of lost it all. Today, I am preparing for October and I have gotten PT's of 168,169,166,170,171. I write all of this to let you guys know that it is possible, even if you don't think it is. You just have to keep going. Even now, I hesitant to post this because my brain is like, "Will I replicate this for October?" But if anyone needs a push to keep going, you can. My PTs are already 10 points higher than my August score and it's only been a couple weeks. You have it in you, just believe you do!

wanted to let anyone know that might've forgotten

Hello,

Before I starting my journey here on 7Sage, I was an educator. I tend to create visual/organized charts that can help me organize everything into smaller portions. I want to share this with you because I know some of you might be visual learners and instead of "flashcards" you're better at memorizing charts. For example: maybe you remember that sufficient condition is on the left side of the chart and under that left side you can "visualize" the keywords. On some of the charts, you'll see a picture/color that can help those who remember colors/shapes more than words. You can make a copy and make it your own.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if I made mistakes on any of the charts.

I am curious to learn what everyone else is doing to prepare themselves for the exam. Are you focusing on taking the most recent PTs and blind reviewing?

For those of you who have taken the test before, do you have any recommendations to really get in the exam mode?
