I scored 160 on both the April and August tests. I'm wondering if it's worth it to retake in November with the help of a tutor. Anyone have experience in the same situation?

Hello 7Sage friends,

While I am critical of some of Powerscore's methodologies, I think their free Crystal Balls are worth a listen. You can still sign up for the one they're hosting on 9/12/21 for the October LSAT on their website.

If you can just derive a peace-of-mind from having attended the event, rather than considering yourself as having obtained some woo-woo powers because you listened to it, I'd recommend to check it out.

Cheers and happy studying.

hi there! I just took PT 76 (shoutout to @lsat_sus btw, ill be joining your call with @canihazJD tomorrow!) and I scored a 157 (flex version). My LG was a -1, but my LR was a -10. Does anyone have any recommendations on how I should do deep analysis of the LR questions I got wrong in order to improve for next time? I feel like I do not have a good break-down process and I really want to breakthrough into the 160s.

So I have a question concerning the LSAT scoring vs. LSAT flex scoring. I took the June LSAT, so I was studying with the flex, now I'm studying with the full four section test since I'm retaking in October, which is not the flex. The scoring is kind of confusing to me. These past few tests I have taken I've scored 157, 158, missing around 28 questions (across all four sections). On my previous tests, that were flex, when I missed that many, my score was much worse. I know the year of the test can kind of fluctuate scoring as well, but I was comparing tests from the same year (2010, still in the last decadeish), that were only a few months apart. Am I spending too much time looking at the number of questions missed, and should I just focus on the score I got? Is it because for these tests it's -28 over 4 sections whereas with the flex it would be -28 over 3, therefore resulting in a worse score? I don't want to get too into my head about this because I do feel like I am improving, but I wanted to make sure!

Now that I'm thinking about this a bit more; is it because only 3 sections are factored into your score, but 7sage shows how many were incorrect over all 4 sections? I feel like this is a very confusing question, but I hope someone can try and clarify it for me!

Hi everyone,

I am retaking the test in October. I am currently stuck at 169-170 on my PTs. I am really hoping to get that up to 173+ by the October test. Does anyone have any tips on how to narrow down what to focus on? I get about -3 to -5 on both LR and RC just depends on the test. I am having trouble pin pointing where I go wrong in LR because at this point there's no specific question type that I am having trouble with. I'm finding that with the few questions I do get wrong on LR I'm usually down to 2 answer choices but end up picking the wrong one. It's so frustrating. If anyone has any tips on how to avoid this please let me know!

Also, if anyone has any insight on how to get over this hump and make it to the mid 170s please feel free to share!

Yes (insert caps). You read that right.

This Friday, we got the man, the myth, the legend, Daniel aka @canihazJD himself who's agreed to bestow his INFINITE LSAT wisdom exclusively to 7Sage community members.

My mans scored multiple 180s on timed PTs, averaged 180 BR's leading to his exam and scored an official 172. He currently attends a T-14 school with a hunky dory chunk of mula bula.

It'll be question-based, so come with your questions and watch the magic happen. Read the title very closely to ensure your pristine and accurate preparation.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out if I should start scheduling law school visits. I wasn't sure if it is "a thing" for law candidates to visit school as much as it was for undergrad. I am still waiting on my August test scores which will give me a good idea of which schools I am really looking at, but do you all think it is a good idea to visit schools this fall? Since I am a spring sport college athlete, I won't be able to attend any accepted student activities in the spring, so I have to focus on that stuff this fall.

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I am a prospective applicant and plan on taking the LSAT next year. My goal is to score in the high 160s, low 170s as of now. If you worked and studied full time, I'd appreciate it if you would be willing to share how you stayed diligent with studying and working full time and achieving your score goals (especially if there are busier months in your field of work than others and how you managed working around that).

Thanks!

Hi,

I took the test in August and am anticipating that I have to retake it again (I know I didn't so well). How do you you "re-study" the LSAT? It's like relearning the concepts I already know. Do I re-read and re-learn the concepts, or keep on practicing and watch the explanations video? I am in a position where I am stuck and don't know how to improve. Any tips would be appreciated.

From,

Jack

Two questions here:

I can see that 7Sage has an option for testing that allows for simulating the LSAT Flex with only three sections. Considering the test is back to having an experimental section, should I be prep testing the LSAT Flex three sections or continuing doing the regular four sections? Only issue I can see is that yes, I'd be getting the same stamina on four sections with normal prep test, but it would always be an extra LR section. Thoughts?

Secondly, does moving to three equal sections on the LSAT Flex (no extra LR) change my study habits? I do decent at LR for the score I am shooting for, but do significantly worse on RC and LG. Should I jump around in core curriculum to meet my needs?

Background for second question: For the first three months of studying I had been using another text besides 7Sage, but just became frustrated toward the end of the book because I did not have any guidance when I got stuck on concepts. All this to say, I know I am too late to get the entire core curriculum and appropriate number of prep tests before my October test.

hi! i'll be writing in october and was wondering which PTs i should focus on? are the older ones more indicative of the current LSAT or the newer ones better to review? if anyone has recently taken an LSAT i'd love to know your input!

I received a score of 171 in 3 of my last 5 PTs, but I'm having trouble getting over this hump. My goal score is a 173 based on the new T-14 medians, and I'm not sure whether I should be spending my time before the October LSAT just taking PTs or drilling. I struggle the most with Inference questions in RC and Weaken questions in LR, and I have been drilling these with some improvement. I typically miss between 4 and 6 questions in RC, between 1 and 4 questions in LR, and typically go perfect or -1 in LG. I have gone as high as 177 during BR, but cannot score higher than 171 timed. Any tips would be appreciated!

I am wondering how other test takers stregically use the highlight function. From my understanding, this will be available on test day. I see in the lessons (especially logical reasoning), that circling strong words, underlining the conclusion, etc. is used. How do you all use the highlight function and what do you choose to highlight?

Thank you!

Anyone have a good study schedule they're willing to share with me? Maybe like a weekly one, for example like Mondays is logic games and Tuesday is LR and how many hours do you spend on it. If that makes sense....thank you!!

I would really appreciate someone willing to read my personal statement and give me any overall feedback. Please let me know, thanks!

Hi all!

I recently saw the new LSAT medians for some of my top schools go up considerably. I was in the 75 percentile with my LSAT score, and now I am at the median or below the median for some of my schools. I was strongly hoping for a scholarship, and felt that my current LSAT was good at the time I took it (June). However, now I'm not so sure, and it is too late for me personally to retake. Any suggestions or advice? If you were recently dropped to the median or even below the median for a school, is there any hope at all for scholarship?

Thanks all for the wonderful community !

Intro - What's up my putitassss - it's your slaveboi lsat_sus back at it with "anotha one."

Hook - "the LSAT is the Great Equalizer" (to an extent). This is the best quote of all time. I personally couldn't/still can't find a damn "normal" job with my jankyass resume, but law schools might at least take a look at me if I ace this shit. Perhaps some of y'alls can relate to this hopeful idea.

Body - This is the second of hopefully many many free tutoring vids I'm tryna do by next cycle. It's gonna have errors but I got a -2 timed/BR on this section for the PT so I think I got these Q's in the bag.

The structure will be similar to the first, but this session will be more open to questions. I'll be explaining the Q from top to bottom, and opening the floor up for questions on that particular question. I can't really guarantee answers but it'll be a good exercise between us nonetheless.

Conclusion - Mind you, this meeting will be "rEcOrdEd for quality and training purposes." Both yours and my little box on Zoom will be included in the video if you ask a question. So please be mindful of that if it matters to you.

Hope to see some of y'alls in a bit!

When when will we know the date of the test, given three dates?

Gosh I can't hold it anymore, I am taking the October LSAT, barely a month from now. All I wanna get is a 165, ideally 168. I practiced so hard for the whole summer, like a PT every two to three days and smashed the Bible trilogy and LSAT trainer. But my grades just keep fluctuating...

I went from a 147 diagnosic mark (2 months ago) to a 151 (a month ago) to 156 (two weeks ago), to a 160, BR 162 ( last week, PT 88). I was so happy, but I dare not to celebrate cuz I know whenever I am contented with my LSAT grades, something bad just follows right away. I put away my PTs and revisited the LR Bible cuz I feel like I can make the biggest improvement in a short period of time. And my grades started dropping, like till they meet the deepest point of Mariana Trench. My LG is pretty much stable, at the -6 to -4 range. But my LR just fluctuates SO BADLY. I was going from a -13 to a -5 over the past few months, but then it just happens that I went back to the starting point again... I tried three LR sections today, ends up -10, -12 and -12. What's happening out there... I reviewed the questions I got wrong, they are TERRIBLE CARELESS MISTAKES, if I had a second chance, I am definitely getting them right...

Can anyone give me some guidance on how to attain stable grades in LR? I don't know why but every time I broke my record, I just restart everything and need a whole week or two to get to another peak. I am so frustrated right now. My poor little heart... I'm so afraid that I will be performing like this in the actual LSAT...

Just in case it helps anyone’s spirits, I struggled for 3 years with the LSAT and never got a high score. But I got into my top choice school and got straight A’s my first semester. Now I just have to keep my foot on the gas pedal.

How many PT's should I take? I am thinking between 20-30. Opinions on this amount?

I've been studying for 2 months now, but I'm not sure if that studying is helping at all because of my PTs! My raw score seems to be decreasing...with every PT. I'm freaking out. Can someone please advise me on where I need to focus my studying to see increases?

7/31- PT 80: 158 (RS: 70/101)

8/7 - PT 81: 157 (RS: 69/101)

8/21 - PT 82: 153 (RS: 63/101)

9/4 - PT 83: 157 (68/101)

My strongest section right now is RC: 21/27(PT 80) , 18/27 (PT 81), 20/27 (PT 82), 20/27 (PT 83)

LG: 18/23(PT 80) , 19/23 (PT 81) ,14/23(PT 82), 16/23 (PT 83)

LR: getting lazy with writing it out but it ranges from 13 - 15 right on the "harder" LR section, and 16-18 right on the "easier" LR sections

Please help me. I don't get why my scores aren't increasing when I'm studying so much. When do you start to see gains/increases in your PTs after studying for so many hours? I'm not seeing progress...

Mr. JY KING, Theopolis Metropolis, Juliet to my Romeo - I just met up w some folks I linked with on 7Sage and I kinda want to upload the pics from our meet ups. Is that allowed? Dis crazee fam! It’s stranger danger activity but 😎

edit: OH, and how can I forget our very own Mr. Bussis with the bUs iT challenge fam@@

I've taken the june 2021 flex, and august 2021 test. I'm also signed up for oct 2021. I just want to confirm that, if i chose to, I would be able to sign up for the nov 2021 test too? Since my june 2021 test is not counted in this current cycle, at least based on my understanding of the below (from lsac's website)

"Starting with the September 2019 test administration, test takers will be permitted to take the LSAT:

Three times in a single testing year (the next testing cycle begins with the August 2021 test and goes through the June 2022 test)."
