Hello everyone,

I recently injured my rotator cuff, and although I'm in the beginning of taking my doctor's recommended medicine, I am concerned that I will not be healed by the time of the November LSAT next weekend. Fortunately, the injury is not in my dominant arm, but it is very uncomfortable moving and even to an extent sitting still.

My question is, God forbid my injury is causing me a lot of discomfort on test day, and it distracts me and in turn negatively impacts my test score, is this something I should write a LSAT addendum on? And if so, should I include a note written by my doctor corroborating my injury and its symptoms?

What do you think?

Thank you

Hi everyone,

I was curious to know if anyone had an idea if the LSAT will still be a remotely proctored exam post June 2022.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Hi everyone! I'm Raphael, a manager with 7Sage's tutoring program. I'm joined by manager Scott, and tutors Nick and Aastha. We'll be answering questions about the LSAT for the next two hours, so ask away!

EDIT: And that's a wrap! Thanks everyone for coming. Stay tuned in the next few days for info on our subsequent AMA on November 17 (which will be a live Zoom call)!

I (Raphael) am a 2020 graduate of Georgetown University. I’m involved in running a debate tutoring company that has worked with hundreds of students. I currently live in Taiwan, where I teach debate and am working to build up a debate circuit as a Fulbright scholar. I scored a 174 in October 2020.

Scott has spent the past 12 years in the classroom. He decided to go to law school and made a 180 on the LSAT on his first try in June.

Aastha is a junior at the University of Florida. She is involved at her University’s Mock Trial team, does research in criminology, and is planning on applying to law school in the 2022 cycle. She scored a 173 in June 2021.

After earning his degree in philosophy, Nick hopped around South America for a few years before diving into the world of the LSAT. With targeted studying and practice Nick ultimately scored a 176 on the LSAT (an increase of 15 points from his initial practice test score) and Nick believes that anyone can improve in a big way with a proper approach to studying. When he's not teaching the LSAT, Nick is either building fun computer apps, watching sci-fi movies, running, or long-distance trekking through the mountains.

I recently took a diagnostic and got a 137 which is the same exact score I got the first time on the LSAT.

So clearly this creates a mental funk with the exam. Any tips?

I received an automated pop up message regarding some tips before the Nov LSAT- but now I can’t seem to get back to that page. Where can I get those links again?

I have generalized anxiety disorder, and it acts up during full-timed tests. I am scoring very well when doing individual sections or smaller problem sets, but when I have to take a full length exam, my anxiety is triggered and I get easy questions wrong.... Anyone else experience something like this? Or have any resources they use to manage this when it happens? Thanks (3(/p)

Having difficulty. Tried paying with card, didn't work, and I didn't expect it to, since it didn't work before. Took the October LSAT, cancelled 7Sage since I thought I did well, and now I need it again to study for January. Do I need a certain amount in my account before purchasing? I have about $75 transferred in since the monthly is $69.

My name is Scott Milam and I am one of the managers of the 7Sage LSAT Tutoring program (find out more here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-tutoring/).

As we enter the last week before the November exam, I just wanted to share some last-minute exam-prep tips to the 7Sage community.

SLOW DOWN - The LSAT isn’t a chemistry final where you can cram the periodic table the night before. It’s a mental marathon that tests your ability to perform under pressure. The worst thing you can do is show up on test day mentally exhausted. Relax, slow down the pace of your studying and let your tired brain recover.

STAY IN SHAPE - While it would be a mistake to overwork yourself the week before the test, you don’t want to completely let yourself go either. Take 1-2 timed sections a day to keep yourself in fighting shape. One section should be Logic Games and the other should alternate between LR and RC. Don’t worry about scoring them - the point of these exercises isn’t to get perfect scores but just to keep your timing from getting rusty.

PRACTICE THE WAY YOU PLAY - Take your practice tests and timed sections in the same setting as you will take the real LSAT. Use the same computer, the same lighting, the same pencils and take it at the same time of day as your real test. Take your timed sections on the Lawhub interface. This will improve your retention on test day and reduce your anxiety by tricking your brain into thinking the LSAT is just another practice test. It will also help you identify any problems with your setup before the big day.

RELAX - Anxiety is your worst enemy on test day. The best preparation you can do in the last week is lower your ambient anxiety levels. Set aside intentional time to relax. Spend time with family or pets, meditate, go on a walk, or get a massage. If possible, reduce your use of stimulants in the week before the test (don’t go cold turkey, but ease off the red bull and double espressos).

GAME DAY PREPARATIONS - The night before the test, get a good night’s sleep. Eat a good breakfast and run a last minute tech check on your computer and network. Gather all your test day items (water, mirror, paper and pencils). When you log in, politely ask the proctor to pause your time if they need to talk to you during the test.

Finally, from all of us at 7Sage, good luck next week!

Hi everyone. I will take the LSAT on Nov 12th. I have started to prepare in August. In this short time, I finished a book and watched 7Sage videos. I did 2 PTs and got 145. I have only 10 days from now to improve my score to 153 and I need your advice. Do you think it is possible? Thank you and good luck!

If I take a PT on lawhub, yet want the results on 7sage, how can I transfer them over? Is the only way to manually "take the test" on 7sage and bubble in my answers from Law Hub?

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I would like some advice on how to tackle November LSAT and land in the solid 150s. Goal is ideally 155+ for this cycle.

What are some study tips I could do to maximize points from now until test day?

Hoping to apply right after November score is released.

Thank you and best of luck :)

Hey Ya'll,

I had been PT'ing in at my goal score for the month of October (over an average on about 5 tests and numerous individual sections), and had been getting pretty solid section splits. I took one practice test last week, and dropped by 5 points, and now I'm getting a few bad section scores, especially on RC. My rational mind is wondering if this is nerves, burnout, or exhaustion. My inner critic, though, is telling me that maybe I don't have the skills after all, and that I've been getting lucky the past month. Does anyone have any advice or experience with why this might be happening, and how to make sure this doesn't happen on test day?

For context, I've been averaging about -2 or -3 on LR, and -4 or -5 on RC. Last few sections have of RC have been especially rough (-10, -8, -4, and -6).

Hi, I am approved for my accommodations, and it is my understanding that the most time you can get is 100% extra time but, going through practice test I see an option for 186% time? Is it possible to get accommodations for 186%? or is 100% extra time the most LSAC can provide?

I have MS and am blind.

I just canceled my month by month subscription for next month, but if I wanted to start again later, will my data be saved or am I starting new?

If the people who record the videos for 7sage can read this...omg please speak slower and not so close to the microphone lol! It's like you combine one word and make it into three because you want to get the questions over with. And saying "this is a really easy game...".........yes, it is easy for you because you are teaching it...we are learning it so it may not be easy for some yet.

Maybe it's just me who feels this way...but whew.

I'm signed up for the November LSAT. I'm scoring 155-159 on them. I have an internship that starts on January 6th so I cannot take the January LSAT because I will be busy. If I choose to take the January one, then I'll have to cancel my internship but that means I'll get a better score. Or, I'll have to push myself until test day and keep the internship. I am so nervous I won't get a good score though. Can someone please offer some advice?

My title says it all, but does anyone have insight if withdrawing a LSAT registration count towards the 3-limit in a testing year? I have taken the LSAT twice and prefer more time to hit my target score instead of rushing to take it a third time.

The official website says, "withdrawing your registration will prevent an absentee notation from appearing on your LSAC file, but you will not receive a refund."

Other LSAT prep services have mentioned no adverse effects if one withdraws.

If anyone could help clear this up, it would be appreciated.

Hello all! Was the June 2021 LSAT part of the previous testing cycle or the current one? I took the June 2021, October 2021, and will be taking November 2021. In case I need to take the January 2022, my eligibility will hinge on whether or not June 2021 counts towards this or previous year’s testing cycle (given the 3 times per cycle testing limit). I’d appreciate any insights!

Hi all! I am going through it right now trying to figure out what would be best thing to do so any advice would be welcome. I took the October LSAT and did not do as well as I had hoped. My GPA is better than the median for all of the schools that I am looking at but my LSAT score is about 4-5 points away from the median LSAT score. I am signed up for the November LSAT but I'm not sure if I can raise my score up to the 4-5 point mark... Would it be better to push it back to January and apply later or take my chances on the November LSAT and hope for the best. This would also be the 3rd LSAT I am taking. Good luck to everyone also taking the November LSAT!

What is a more difficult feat. Obviously some are more intuitive at RC than others, but for the average student who has difficulty lets say -8 LR and -8 RC.

I am confused. The LSAC.org says that "The test will have three scored sections — one section each of Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning — and we will return to our pre-COVID practice of including a fourth, unscored variable section that will allow us to validate new test questions for future use and ensure that they are free from any form of bias. But I read other forms and they said there are 5 sections as 2 LR, 1 LG, 1 RC and 1 unscored section. So are there 4 or 5 sections totally?

Apologies if this has been asked before, any eta on when 91+ and 92+ will be available to review or score on 7sage? Just finished 91+ & plan to do 92+ before November as these are the most recent tests avaliable.

I'm guessing LSAC hasn't released a curve so it would be kinda hard to score it. Anyone remember Powerscore's prediction or have a prediction for the curve? I breezed through the LG & LR for 91+ but that RC was one of the hardest I've had. Usually average -2/3 but got -5 on this RC. The taxidermy and Patent protection passages were brutal.

Just looking for general thoughts on 91+ and if anyone wanted to discuss/compare?

Hi all,

In an effort to keep myself accountable, I am going to share some concepts that I was initially unfamiliar with onto this forum. The purpose of this is to not only make sure that I am not merely spewing out memorized facts, but also to help others who are unfamiliar with Economics. If there are any errors, please let me know. If you don't find this helpful, feel free to not read.

Inflation

Inflation is the economic concept of prices constantly going up. An example of this is how in the movie Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy is known as one of the richest men in Britain even though his income was only $10,000 in 1813. Inflation highlights the question: Why are prices going up?

Why does Inflation happen?

Inflation happens as a result of at least one of the following concepts.

Cost-push inflation is when businesses have a greater increase in costs incurred, and therefore as a result need to push some of these costs onto customers in order to keep their businesses surviving. These increased costs can be incurred as a result of workers demanding more pay, raw material prices (such as oil) going up, etc.

2.Demand-Pull Inflation

An easier way of remembering demand-pull inflation is recognizing that it is when "there are too many dollars, and too few goods". Basically, it is when consumers have much money and are all chasing after goods that cannot keep up with the demand. Higher prices are the result of the demand being too high.

3.Printing Money

Governments want to see their economy doing well, and to do this, they may print more money and have an increased circulation of money going around. However, with the increase of money circulation, the value per note becomes less. Instead of this allowing consumers to buy more items, this just causes prices for individual items to go way up (for example, one set of bananas may have costed $2 before the circulation of money, but now $5 because the value of the dollar decreased as more notes were produced). The Window of Opportunity is the point of time where while more money is circulating, prices are still low since it takes time for the value of money to decrease.

Interesting fact about the Window of Opportunity:

How can governments cause inflation (prices going up)?

Governments can cause inflation by decreasing taxes, thereby allowing people to have more disposable income to spend. With this disposable income, in the longer term, increased demand causes increases in prices.

NOTE: If I got anything wrong here or if in anyone has anything they wanna add to help others, please comment.

What are some PTs I should review before November LSAT? Note: Regarding recent PT's, I have taken PT 50-91 more than once. I have PT 92 as a fresh PT.

Thank you and best of luck :)

Let me preface with the fact that I'm SO grateful for my 170 and worked really hard for it! However, given my LSAC GPA (3.73) it looks like I'm still under both medians at most of my top choices/dream schools. I'm already signed up for the November test since I planned to use it as a back-up if things went bad in October. But now I find myself in this awkward place with JUST below median numbers. I guessed on a few questions on the last game of my October test (twas a tough one), which makes me feel like I might've left some points on the table. I'd realistically only be looking to marginally improve to a 171 or 172 (not really shooting for 175+). That being said, who knows, my score could go down.

For context, I'd really like to end up at NYU, Northwestern, Michigan, or Georgetown. I have 3 years of work experience at a law firm, am a first-gen student, my UGPA was a 3.86 because it didn't include study abroad courses (LSAC did), and I think I've got a pretty good personal statement and diversity statement (but so does everybody).

Long story short: to retake or not to retake? Any advice would be helpful, as none of my friends or family understand my dilemma.
