Howdy 7Sagers!

I'm VERY excited to announce that I will be teaching a ten-week LSAT course. If you're looking to master key LSAT concepts and strategies with the help of real, live 7Sage tutor, this is the course for you!

We will be meeting once per week for an hour at a time, and along the way I will be providing you with homework, drills, and a study plan so that you don't have to do any guesswork in preparing for this test. This course is perfect for anyone who is looking for a little more structure in their LSAT journey, with help along the way from study buddies and a teacher who knows what it takes to climb all the way to a 180.

The class will be limited to a total of TWELVE students, and sign-up is on a first-come, first-served basis. We will be beginning on Saturday, April 2nd from 11am to noon EST and continue weekly until June 4 (just in time for the June LSAT)!

For any questions, feel free to comment below and I'll be sure to answer!

What does it mean when the only answers you get wrong are the ones you flagged during your test. In my last three test every wrong answer I had was flagged. Has anyone experienced this before?

Today, I took a 3 section prep test prep test and scored a 157. Then, I finished the final section on a prep test I've been dividing up and taking sections on different days (to simulate the four sections I'll have on test day). I scored a 172 on this test overall. All my other prep test scores have fallen anywhere within this 15 point range. I know a little variation is to be expected, but this seems extreme. Is anyone else experiencing this intense inconsistency? And does anyone have advice on how to combat it?

I'm having a hard time grinding through the curriculum. Any advice?

Hey Team,

I just wanted to share that after receiving and opening the February LSAT Score today morning, the relief and joy of seeing the hard work and struggles pay off felt like nothing I have ever felt before. I know the next few words have been shared by countless people before me and it might sound useless and unmotivating but truly, "IF I COULD SCORE A 162, ANYONE CAN SCORE 165+!!!" this test is beatable.

A 162 may seem like a measly score to others on this platform who have reached the 170s and even a perfect 180 but this was my last attempt at the LSAT and I wasn't planning on taking it again after that 5th attempt, signalling at myself to move on with life. But seeing this score as a Canadian Applicant looking to get into Canadian Schools, definitely has changed/altered my life's trajectory.

When I began the LSAT journey in November 2020, I used Khan Academy and on the very first diagnostic test I ever did received a 135... Instantly demotivating, heart crushing, and morale destroying.. but at the same time I was easy on myself knowing the journey will be long - accepting that it is only going to get better from here. Then I landed on 7Sage on December of 2020 through a friend and my life around studying for the LSAT Changed.. I never thought I will be writing my own discussion post featuring my score and trying to muster up hope, faith, and motivation in others to reach for the stars when studying for this god forsaken test. Side Note: I thought the reviews people posted were fake loll... but clearly they are not..

The reason I want to emphasize perseverance is because of my experience... LSAT Attempt #1 November 2020, a couple weeks after joining Khan Academy I wanted to sit for a test to see and witness the experience of writing the actual test. Somehow from my diagnostic of 135, I managed to score a 146 on the November 2020 LSAT. And because I was eager to get into Law School in 2021, I did a preptest everyday from December 2020 to January 2021 in preparation for Attempt #2 (January 2021 sitting) without using and going through the 7Sage course and taking my time with it.. Guess what we scored on our second attempt after a month and a half of jamming PTs everyday before the test.... A WHOPPING 146.. THAT'S RIGHT.. We scored the SAME SCORE as our Blind attempt in November.. This was truly soul crushing.. Ended up taking a break for 2 weeks to recoup and to have an honest conversation with myself - of whether we want to continue doing this and take the risk.. because that is what it is, a risk.. A risk full of hopes to score well and even if we score well to be able to get in. We decided to go all in.

Knowing that my chances of getting into a school with those horrendous scores were all but gone for the 2021 year.. I moved from doing a PT everyday to ONE PT a WEEK In preparation for the August 2021 Attempt #3 LSAT - truly cementing the practice of Blind Review which works wonders!

I started to really take J.Y's advice with LG to constantly do it over and over and over again until it becomes ingrained in our memory.. with that we started going from -6/-5 to -2/0.. EVEN ON THOSE GOD AWFUL SUBSTITUTE Q's... when you implement the repeating the LG section over and over method - your intuition really starts to roll and those sub q's start to become clearer and easier.. LR was getting supremely better and I kind of Understood what people were saying when they would say "it felt right.." on tougher questions.. prior to that I HATED HEARING THAT.. but there's no better way to describe that experience.. Fast forward 7 months to August and we score a 158. I was gassed! But felt we could do better but decided to take a month break to travel across Canada to get away from the test.

I came back in October with a mentality to boost my score and to hopefully squeeze into the 160s.. I registered for the January 2022 exam.. still implementing the ONE PT a WEEK regimen. January rolls around and we score a 155😂... After that I was like eff it.. I'll hope for the best to get into a school a with the 158, if it doesn't work out whatever we tried our best and we move on.. Knowing I had one more sitting available I was like meeeeh might as well, we had already threw all this money into this process whats another $300 CAD going to do.. LOOOL Horrible justification but glad I did it.

We scored a 162 on our Feb 2022 sitting which was my FIFTH attempt. I really went into the exam with no hopes, and a defeated mentality - I want to say it helped because I didn't allow my mind to give the test all this unnecessary weight - to classify it as an exam that's going to determine my life (If I dont do well I failed in life.... NO) - life is more than this test, literally the LSAT is a smidgen compared to all the great things you all will achieve in your life.

So we went from:

November 1st Khan Academy Diagnostic: 135

November 2020 LSAT Attempt #1: 146

January 2021 LSAT Attempt #2: 146... ⚰️

August 2021 LSAT Attempt #3: 158

January 2022 LSAT Attempt #4: 155..

February 2022 LSAT Attempt $5: 162!!!!

I write all this to say, YOU CAN DO IT.. YOU CAN! There's nothing in this world you can't do

Please have faith in yourself and if youre religious/spiritual in god as well.. Because as Drake said.. it's god's plan. There are going to be days where we feel stagnant but during those days we should strive to tell our minds we can do it!

I haven't gotten into any schools yet but honestly at this point to even score a 162 is more than enough as a reward to know I can walk away from the LSAT happy and content with the effort we put in. HOOO-RAHH.

Thank you all for reading if you did and please don't hesitate to ask questions or leave a comment - I can attempt to aid wherever I can.. LOL I don't how much advice someone would want from someone who scored a 162 but hey lol the lines are open (:

Any Canadians here studying for the LSAT and planning to apply to Law school this year? Considering law school as a second career?

Hi everyone,

I have formal academic accommodations with my college for time and a half on exams. I have not had them before this and did not use them on the ACT or any previous standardized test. I’m about to take my first prep test and I know the lsat does time and a half accommodations. Should I attempt it with these or without? I have all necessary documentation to be approved for the exams but I guess I’m just not sure if it’s better to err that I won’t get them since I have heard they are very very strict even with documentation.

Thanks for your help!

Is there a way to manually (or otherwise) import PT score data--the final score result would be fine--from one's LSAT preparation outside of 7Sage into the 7Sage Analytics tool?

I ask because I have a number of PTs, which I took via Khan Academy, prior to enrolling in 7Sage. As I complete the 7Sage curriculum, I notice that I am re-taking PTs as a result of not being able to track which one's I already completed with Khan Academy.

Hi, what methods do you use for blind review? I don't even know how to do blind review after completing a set of questions.

Hey, I was wondering is it better to do the problem stems in the syllabus with unlimited timing or with the time they give you (usually 6:40min)? (For LR specifically)

Hi guys, I was hoping someone could help me out here. I'm taking the June 2022 LSAT and I've been studying since February daily for around 4 hours. I got a little distracted for two weeks because of spring break and while I am back on my grind, I've run into a little problem. I'm about two weeks away from finishing the Core Curriculum, but I'm stuck on the Logic Games section. I know that for the LGs, I should do each question I get wrong ten times, but should I be doing them ten times right now, or after I finish the CC and start practicing? Once I finish the CC I'll have about a month and a half of practice time ( I'll be studying 6 hours each day including weekends) but I don't know if I should I should try to master the LG now and then save the practice later for other things, or finish the CC first. I'm scared I wont get through the CC if I spend too much time on the LG section, but at the same time I don't want to risk it. Please let me know your thoughts or opinions I feel so lost!

I have a tutor I have been working with for about a month now, she's not 7sage affiliated and I feel sometimes we have a disconnect about what a good session looks like. She definitely knows the LSAT, but I'm not sure if we are getting the most out of our sessions. I'm working through the curriculum and she feels I should be testing more often. Does anyone have any advice on How a good tutoring session should go? (What success looks like)

Hi everyone,

I studied for about 4 months last year and finished 85% of the CC and took two practice tests, but I stopped studying towards the end of December. Its been so hard for me to start studying again. Does anyone have any advice on how to start after you've taken a "break"? For reference, my strongest area is LG, and my weaker areas are LR and RC.

Hi everyone,

Check out the latest edition of the 7Sage LSAT Digest, in which I discuss the some tips for what to do after you finish the core curriculum. You can read the post here: https://7sage.substack.com/p/lsat-tips-what-to-do-after-you-finish

I have purchased LSAT self-study textbooks from powerscore, but i am more of a visual learner and that is why i am interested in using 7Sage. I was wondering if 7Sage covers all material in the LSAT?

Hi everyone, I just started prepping for the LSAT and plan on writing it twice. Which sections of the prep courses do you recommend I focus on to achieve the highest score? I will be writing this June and I plan on re-writing Oct. My diagnostic score was not that bad and to get accepted into my dream school I need a 158. I work full-time right now but will be taking all of next month off to study, any tips on self-study would be appreciated. T

If anyone just starting the Core Curriculum and wants a study partner to go over it together, please let me know. I am only looking for serious individuals, thank you.

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering any of you guys had opinions as to the difficulty of the new flex tests? It seems like on all previous (non flex tests) there is one harder LR and a less hard LR section (proof in that 7Sage seems to rank one section as 2/5 and the other as 3/5), do the flex tests seem to have a middling difficulty in the one LR section? I haven't taken any of the actual flex tests yet.

Any opinions would be appreciated! I have been using the flex converter on my PT's now and I'm wondering how accurate the scores are.

I have a coursework requirement I have to fulfill. I can take inductive and/or deductive reasoning. Would either or both help me with the LSAT?

Would it be best to continue taking the full tests that automatically have 2 LRs as practice tests for the new LSAT Flex with Experimental Part , or should we be switching out the fourth section to be either an extra LR, LG, or RC to better represent the random experimental part we will receive? I'm nervous about doing this second way, as then I will have to do more manual scoring and analytics.

Taking test in April
