Update: This Class is Sold Out.

Hey 7Sagers!

Due to popular demand, I'm excited to announce that I'll be teaching a 10-week LSAT course starting May 8th!

We'll meet once a week for an hour. In addition to the instruction given during class time, I'll also assign homework, drills, and a study plan designed to support the weekly lessons and solidify key concepts. This class is ideal for anyone who wants a bit more structure and accountability as they work their way to their goal score.

We'll meet on Sundays starting on May 8th. Class will convene via Zoom from 3pm-4pm EST and will continue until July 10th. The class is limited to TWELVE students—first come, first served.

If you have any questions about the course, feel free to post it down below. I'm looking forward to it!

Taking test for the second time this week, curious if anyone attempts to apply this late for this cycle? I am planning on applying for 2023, but just curious as I have heard that people do indeed apply this late and get lucky.

Hello, I quit my job in October and have been studying full time since for the June LSAT, however I was not at all consistent at first and am barely finishing up the core curriculum soon and do not feel like I will be ready for June so I am thinking of taking the August LSAT instead. However, applications begin a month after which leaves little time to prepare my personal statement and letters of rec from professors. Is it likely to hurt my chances if I don't apply within the month applications open this cycle? My undergrad GPA is not good so I am really relying on my LSAT score to get into schools (aiming for 168+, first pt at 155).

Would anyone recommend taking the June LSAT anyways just so I can see where I am at and know how to prepare for August?

Hey 7Sagers,

A new single mother here of a 6-month old baby girl in my early 30s. I've been working in the legal field as long as I've been avoiding this test lol! So, after putting off the LSAT for a decade for grad school, work, and marriage, I'm finally back into the LSAT game and really want to complete my journey with the LSAT. My LORs, transcripts, and everything is in but the LSAT! I really want to get into law school and want to inspire my little girl. Any words of advice for motivation would be greatly appreciated! Any other mommas out there who kept continuing their journey? It's really hard to study with a little one, but she gives me so much strength to finally face this exam again. My strongest section is LG, just got The Loophole to read for LR, and just a confession--I get discouraged by the RC section because although I have a MA in English, I hate the RC passages on another level lol! It's been really hard to improve in this section the most. But nonetheless, I'm ready to finally get this test out of the way to start my law school journey and am looking forward to reading your tips! My target is 165+ and wish to take the Oct 2022 exam. Thanks! :)

So, I definitely underestimated this exam my first time around (insert clown face emoji) and now I'm planning on taking the exam in Sep or October 2022. Without much preparation at all, I took the exam and got a 138. Needless to say, I was devastated. I'm trying to pick my confidence/dignity to try this again and take the exam seriously. Ideally, I would like to aim for the 160s. Am I delusional to expect such an increase?

Just finished PT 77 and my usual BR partner isn't responding, anyone up for some BR??? HMU

Hello,

if you offer tutoring in LR or RC, please send me a PM. Plan on taking the June Exam and would like to do a few sessions a week until then.

How many sections do yall recommend taking for the PTs? Seems like there's an option to simulate the modern LSAT with the 3 scored sections which (correct me if I'm wrong) might give a more accurate score estimate. However, it might be better to simulate all 4 sections for stamina building and mimicking actual test day. So... what do yall think?

@7sage staff is there an option to take all four sections but have only 3 sections count towards the score?

I wish 7sage could provide passage-only view in RC like the real test!

I found it helps outline the passage better in my mind.

Curious how many people actually uses this function on test day.

I have 3.55 GPA and I think I can get around 170-178 on the LSAT. I know that this is something I have to discuss after I take the LSAT but I am wondering to what extent everyone around here is willing to take a loan out to attend a HYS Law or any of T-14 law schools. I think it is worth it to take a full 380,000 USD loan out to attend any of HYS Law, but I personally don't think it is worth it to attend any of T4-T14 law schools with 380,000 USD loan. I have seen folks who have graduated from lesser well-known schools and still end up as an associate making at least 150,000 USD per year. What I am saying is people don't walk around with a sign that says which law school they have attended: I think this mindset is too premature. Could you please share your thought on this?

Hi everyone, I apologize if this is a bit long. I'm going to begin taking practice tests soon to hopefully take the test around August to October of this year. I've been researching and debating how best to do practices tests between LawHub and 7Sage. I now seek the opinion of the 7Sage community.

I am leaning towards doing them all on LawHub to use the correct testing format in the self-paced mode. This would involve pausing each section (instead of submitting it) once my 35-minute window is up to avoid answers since LawHub doesn't hide your score/correct or incorrect answers. Then I would blind review the paused sections and input my answers on the 7Sage convert to paper option. Of course, on the other hand, doing the tests on 7Sage is nice since you don't see your score and have the blind review interface.

Another dilemma is since LawHub has all of the PTs in the same order (I believe it's LG LR LR RC), is that another reason 7Sage is better since their tests are in the actual order real tests were? Does anyone have experience doing only ones in the same order on LawHub, or do you purposely do them on 7Sage to have different section orders? I'm unsure if it would be a good thing to take every practice test in the exact same order on LawHub.

Also, during my research, I had seen a post by a 7Sage staff member on a Reddit forum who recommended that we take 90% of our PTs on here and 10% on LawHub.

What method do you guys personally do, and what website do you use to take practice tests?

For context, I am taking the April 30 LSAT. Is there such a thing as taking too many practice tests between now and the actual test (11 days) that would do more harm than good? Doing it for the endurance practice.

Or would I be better off doing fewer practice tests and more drills on weaker areas instead?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

For the past couple days, the video explanations for Preptest 86 have been missing. I'm so confused on if this is an issue from my part or if other people are experiencing the same thing. If the 7Sage admin could let me know, that would be great :) Studying for April right now and I really wanted JY's insight on the reading comp passages, but they're nowhere to be found.

Hi everyone!

I can't see any explanations for LR an LG for this PT, only RC.

Do they not exist or is it a technical error?

Thank you for the help!

I'm experimenting with printing out practice problems, timing myself, doing BR, and checking results. I've done other sections electronically, but experimenting with being able to circle/cross off/diagram on paper. I'll change back in a couple of weeks to be in sync with actual test taking format. But any way to put this score into the sections to be saved in a not time consuming way?

I am about 75% done with the core Curriculum. I have to go back and finish some of the LR practice problem sets. I’ve been doing the CC since second week of February, and been grinding non stop studying each of these sections. I started taking PTs again this weekend. And literally didn’t improve but went down in score. Has this been happening to anybody else? Since not only has my morale gone down now. I’m starting to panic With test date being June 11. And I can’t even break into the 140s yet. With the score I need for my score being a 146-148.

Any advice would super appreciated!

Hi.

I've been using Powerscore website's Historic LSAT Score Conversions table as it was the first result that came up on Google search for LSAT score conversion to calculate my scores but when I used 7Sage's Modern LSAT Score Estimator today for the first time I scored 3 points higher on the test I took today. I made sure I checked off the box for two LR as it was preptest 40.

Which score conversion should I use going forward?

Does your gpa matter more than your lsat score?

Hello 7 Sage Community,

I am considering to register for the June LSAT as a waitlisted applicant for UC Davis Law. However, I haven’t heard back from two other schools. The deadline to register for June LSAT is April 27th.

My understanding is if I do register for June LSAT my other two apps will be on hold? Does that sound about right?

Thanks and good luck! :)

Hi 7Sage,

Some people might disagree with this, which is understandable, but after doing many practice tests, I feel like some practice tests are much harder than others. I understand it is standardized, but I felt like PT 62 was way harder than the 11 other PTs i've taken in the past.

For example, on PT 53 I got 3 LR Qs wrong. But on PT 62, I got 13 wrong! I usually average -5 to -6 on LR, so this would extremely weird and I felt like PT 62 was the hardest PTs I have ever taken. PT 62 was so hard I felt like it was so different.

Are some tests just outliers to the rest?

Thanks!

I am scoring around 162-164 on my timed tests , and am looking to get a 170 on the April exam. My BR scores are usually in the low/mid 170s. My highest timed score was a 167, with BR 177. The closest I've gotten to that since has been a 165. Any advice on what to focus on for the rest of the time until April? Timed sections? More practice tests? I've increased to two a week.

My average scores for each section: RC: -7, LR: -5, LG: -4
