Hello! In the curriculum there is a plethora of problem sets. I could have sworn you stated to NOT do any more than like 10 questions of the same question type as it can be harmful. If this is true.. do I just do 2 sets of 5 and come back after I start PT'ing once I identify my weaker question types?

Test Anxiety

I’m pretty new to prep, and I just started taking full-length timed sections. The degree to which stress and panic impacts performance on this test is bewildering to me. I took a timed games section, got thrown off guard by a question or two, and began to panic. I then forgot my technique, muddled through the rest of the section, and wound up going -7. Once I regained my composure, I took another section—this time much calmer and more focused. -2. Does anyone else experience these kinds of fluctuations based on mentality?

So I took the LSAT in Jan (166), Feb (165), and March (169).

I obviously can't take it again until August when the LSAC cycle restarts.

My target school (the only one I can realistically go to geographically) has a median of 169. I am applying early there in the fall. My GPA is about .1 below their median. I spoke to someone in admissions and he said that 169 was great, but there was a possibility that their median could go up to 170, but that they won't know until August. He also said it doesn't matter how many times I take this infernal test because they only take the highest.

I'm forced to take a break now because of testing limits, but does anyone think it's worth putting myself through this a 4th time? My PTs were always higher, but I am a very nervous test taker and that test day penalty has been super real for me.

I don't want to 'be lazy' and give up, I just need some advice from others going through this! I'm open to any and all feedback, expect the kind that's mean. This test is mean enough :P

Title pretty much says it all, I have gotten to a point in my studies where I feel like I know the content well enough to consistently score in the mid 150s, yet when it comes time to take a PT I just panic and don’t perform to the best of my abilities. The reason it’s so frustrating is just because I know I am smart enough, something just happens in my head whenever it comes to taking a PT that makes me panic and not think clearly, and I’m scared it’ll happen on test day. Should I give up? Is the test just not for me? These are questions that I have been asking myself lately, and it’s a tough pill to swallow considering the years I’ve put into this test, and how I have planned my entire education around going to law school. I’m not sure what to do anymore with really no improvement on RC and LR, just consistently getting around -11 on LR and even after blind reviewing I just feel as if I don’t internalize the information. For RC, there just seems to be absolutely no hope and I think that is where my score will be impacted the most, I usually miss around 14 and don’t even get to the last passage just because I am trying to be accurate with only 3 passages. However, I can’t even do that it seems, just constantly missing questions and not internalizing anything I read regardless of how much I take my time. If I could just find a way to score a 155 consistently, which doesn’t seem like a crazy stretch of the imagination, then my life would be made. Any tutor recommendations would be super appreciated and I really apologize for this mess of a post, I just felt the need to express my struggles and ask the 7sage community for help when I feel I need it most.

UI Suggestion

Maybe you can implement a second set of navigational buttons on top of the page or maybe under the videos and above the transcript in the prep course. If you are trying to jump quickly between lessons it takes a decent amount of scrolling to get to the bottom of the transcript. Not a deal-breaker by any means, but can be helpful. Thank you for the great content.

Hello everyone!

It's been about 8 months since I started studying for the LSAT, and I have just reached 160/low 160s. My diagnostic was a 148. However, I might have to study for another year because my goal score is a 172+. I study for about 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I am drilling sections, taking practice tests, blind reviewing the ones I got wrong, have been using 7sage, and reviewing Loophole. Is it normal to study 1-2 years for the LSAT? Feeling very discouraged and incompetent right now because I am seeing people study for about 6-8 months and get 170+. Any advice will help. Thank you!

How will Lsac show writing written on paper to law schools? is it a scan of the hand writing or they will show the typed version? I have been approved for paper and pencile accomodations but Im just wondering that how they will show it on my account to law schools cause if they just show a scan of it then it might affect schools decision as they would find out that I was accomodated upon my disability

Hey 7Sagers, I just wanted to point out some issues I have had with the website the past few weeks (Idk if you guys have experienced the same but I hope things can change soon as it is becoming a bit annoying) (Using Chrome on Dell Inspiron).

Issue 1 - When I review my PT results with the list of questions with times, answers etc. when I move my mouse over any of the time that I took to answer the black box comes up showing my time in each visit, the target time but it will not go away once my curser is off it. It stays up regardless of what question I pull up and it gets in the way forcing me to reset the page.

Issue 2 - When I go into my analytics and try to see the changes in BR in my chart, the lines for question incorrect answers do not change. It is becoming increasingly hard to review my analytics, something that is both extremely important to not only my studies but to what 7SAGE has as a website that puts it far ahead of other Prep courses/sites.

Really hope these gets fixed as it is becoming increasingly frustrating to even look over PT answers for review and analytics to see what I got wrong.

I've finished almost all the CC and I've taken 5 full length tests so far. I'm registered for the April exam and intend to take the June exam as well. I'm struggling to bridge my BR and timed scores. Timed I have yet to break 155. BR I'm hitting 161-164. My goal is a 165+. Any advice on whether I should continue to take full length tests and crank them out or focus on drilling timed sections? I'm feeling a bit stuck and anxious. Thanks!

Meaning of 'lack'

What does 'lack' mean in LSAT?

Does it mean 'shortage' or 'none'?

I'm curious as I encountered anther similar questions about quantifier!

I know it might be a silly question, but want to ask if there's any issue with this word on lsat.

Thanks a lot in advance:)

So I have been studying off and on for almost 3 years now, taking breaks during difficult personal situations and tough academic periods during undergrad. I feel "decent" at LR and LG with a little bit more of a strength in LG, but my RC is AWFUL. I find that I am just generally a slow reader, and can take anywhere from 10-12 minutes per passage and questions which is just super slow. My goal score is somewhere in the mid to high 150s, and I was wondering if any of you wonderful people on 7sage has any advice for me to start implementing during timed sections and PTs in preparation for the June or August LSAT if I am really just trying to score in that range consistently.

I have noticed that any given PrepTest on lawhub.lsac.org has a particular sequence of sections which differ significantly from the corresponding PrepTest on 7sage.com. For example, PrepTest 86 on lawhub.lsac.org shows that S1 is an LG, S2 and S3 are LR, and S4 is RC. Whereas PT 86 on 7Sage.com shows that S1 corresponds to S3 (second LR) on lawhub, S2 corresponds to S1 (LG), S3 corresponds to S4 (RC), and S4 corresponds to S2 (first LR).

Is there a pedagogical reason for this decision by 7Sage? Can one expect a materially different score by altering the chronology of the sections one takes in a given PT?

Hey! So I am just wondering if anyone can give me a rundown on the new LSAT format and if there is any change to how the test is scored since it is only 3 scored sections now. I was also curious if it has been said if the rest of the test dates will be administered online like the June date?

Just feel depressed. Start officially preparing from February and did 5 PT (mostly 70s and 80s). Average score 159-160 and really don't know what to do about the coming test. cant deal with RC and LG... Always feel a rush when time is out.

Could somebody help me with my study schedule for the April test? Thank you so much and really appreciate it. I guess my mood was just bad today after a 158 on PT78.

btw currently using manhattan RC and LG and feel good about it. Also subscribed to 7sage monthly premium several days ago. Hope these materials help. I also did several skim through and know basics from powerscore bible LR, Loophole and LSAT trainer. Average study time per week around 30 hours.
