Hi everyone,

On Thursday, March 3, at 12:00 PM ET, we'll check back in with former 7Sager @"Accounts Playable", who went to HLS, and see how he's faring as a first-year associate . We'll ask him how he got the job, how practicing law differs from law school, and what advice he can give people hoping to land in big law.

You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.

:warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

:warning: The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

Does anyone have tips on weakening questions? I am struggling

Hey everyone. If you are taking the most recent PTs, like 91+ etc, should you review questions you got wrong on the experimental sections? Thanks!

Is only doing 7Sage Core Curriculum enough before tackling the PTs? I am currently reading Loophole and I find it extremely helpful. I plan to read Trainer and PowerScore too before I tackle the PTs. What do you all think?

Hi all,

Quick question regarding the new 7Sage pricing/bundles LSAT study courses. I see it's required to have LSAC's LSAT Prep Plus. I haven't purchased LSAT Prep Plus through LSAC yet, and plan to buy the month by month 7Sage bundle with Prep Plus.

How does your LSAC account know you've purchased the LSAT Prep Plus through 7Sage? In checkout it doesn't seem like there's an option to enter your LSAC account info, etc. Thanks in advance for any clarification!

To give some backstory: I have taken the LSAT last month and got a 133. I know not the greatest but I’m wanting to improve. I just took PT 84 and got the exact same score. I have just started practicing again every day for 2.5-3 hrs a day. I am using a mix of 7Sage Study Plan/Course and Khan Academy for drills.

If anyone has any other studying techniques that might help me improve more or helpful tips I am interested in anything.

English is my second language. I have trouble understanding texts in LSAT in a really short time. How can I improve my understanding without sacrificing more time?

P.S. I got my BS in the US, so my English isn’t that bad.

Hi ! I'm aiming for April or June LSAT (I'm outside US)

I'm currently taking 4-5 PTs every week, and I'm done with the fundamentals.( But I'm still referring to basic materials to build stronger foundation)

Is 4-5 PTs a week too much or moderate?

The reason why I'm taking 4-5 is not because I'm too tired, but I want to take enough time to review, and also don't want to get score back bay by day since I'm not around 170 for now.

Also, I'm taking 1-20 PTs as half PT on days I don't take a full pt. ( Some pts over 20 also doing this)

Saving PT seems important since I counted remaining ones and I think I definitely need to save since I'll probably take the one after summer. Is half pt efficient?

Any advice is welcomed, besides those questions but things in general about pt schedule:)

Anyone else having problems focusing on the LSAT ???

I have moments where i get really motivated and then i stop out of the blue.

Anyone else having this problem.

Hello! I have been studying for the test for about a year, and I have a low 160s on the official test, although I was consistently in the mid-160s. Ultimately, I’m still studying to get a higher score. I wanted to begin tutoring to those who aim to get in the 150s so that I can offload what I have learned to get myself into the 160s.

I hope that tutoring will provide me with a fresh perspective for the test, and I know that I can be of help to those scoring in the 130-140s currently!

Let me know if you’d be interested! I’m thinking of offering tutoring sessions at $25/hour, but LMK if you have concerns.

I am having a hard time working under the time given in the exam as well as focusing on the questions. I feel as if my score is only low because I am leaving a lot blank. Can anyone advise me on how I can focus and read faster?

Any tips please assist me, I know I can do better than the grade I am receiving.

I can't believe I am writing this today.

I began my LSAT journey in May 2021. I had a diagnostic of 140. After months, and months of studying, I took the LSAT in October. I was PT around 158-159, but the server crashed the day of my exam, so I was had to write it a week later. Burnt out, I wrote the LSAT - I honestly can't remember it. I got a 153. I was devastated. I took it again in November... I got a 158. I knew I could do better. I wrote it in Jan and got a 160! I was happy!! I wasn't sure if it would be enough to get in to law school because I had a lower GPA... but this morning I got my first acceptance!!!

I am thrilled and so so happy. I am so incredibly proud of myself and cannot wait to see what the future holds. I am the first in my immigrant family to get a J.D. so to say that my whole family is thrilled is an understatement!!

To those who think they cant do it... just know... YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE!

I saw that the December NYC group had a ton of replies and was wondering if anyone is interested in doing one for June. I live in upper Manhattan and can commute (as long as its under 1 hour each way).

I work full time and also am in grad school so weekends work the best for me but I can also do some week nights as well. Strengths are RC and some LG but currently terrible at LR, so I will be focusing on those quite a bit.

Hi all! I noticed that in the Problem Set section, under Logic Games Core Curriculum, some games are labeled as PTA. What does that mean? Thanks!

This is my first time studying since August of 2021. I studied full time from August 2020 to April 2021 and part time until August 2021. Took 3 LSATs and had a score regression 165-161-158. At this point I've used most of the LSAT material available. Redoing the questions I worked on the longest time ago. Right now my strategy is to focus on why the wrong answers are wrong instead of searching for the right answer, especially when I think I remember the answer to a question. Any advice on other strategies that would help someone who has exhausted the practice tests and questions?

Is there a limit to how well you can do? I've been at this for over a year and a half now, worked with multiple tutors and put my all into it, but I just can't improve into the 170's. I honestly am just at a loss right now and about to take the March test. I've been missing the same number of questions for the past 6 months despite changing strategies, learning new strategies, etc. I just am feeling very hopeless. My LSAT score will probably be the factor that holds me back from getting into the schools I want. I went to a top 5 school, did extremely well, and have a great resume, but I can't crack the LSAT no matter how hard I try.

I'm looking for an affordable LSAT tutor I can meet with at least twice a week. We will mainly work on RC and LR. If you are a tutor, feel free to private message me and we will go from there. Thank you!

I live in Phoenix. Studied full time from August 2020 to May 2021. Took 3 LSATs from January 2021 to August 2021 165-161-158 respectively. Haven't touched LSAT review material since August 2021. Averaged mid 160s in the two months prior to my August LSAT. Looking for a tutor that averages a 172 or above that can help me score in that range by August.

this is definitely a silly question but I'm so confused on how to score myself when I take PT's - I am taking the April 2022 LSAT, so there will be 3 scored sections and 1 unscored section. When I am taking practice tests, do I count my correct answers from ALL 4 sections and then look at the score conversion chart here: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/how-to-understand-your-lsat-score/?ss_completed_lesson=9449

... or do I just count my correct answers from 3 sections? if that's the case, then what score conversion chart do I look at? how do i know which section is the unscored section? really unsure how to get a sense of how I'm scoring :/

Hi guys! Hope y'all had a great weekend! Just a really quick question for you guys.

So… JY's memory method didn't work for me at all-- I tried this a WHILE ago multiple times. Nicole's strategies, however, have been far more helpful to me. Now, do you guys think that these two methods are complementary? I feel like they are quite different…if not the opposite. I've been really confused. Oh yes, Mike Kim's RC tips do help too and his is more closely aligned with Nicole's. Like Mike's, Nicole's strategies don't require that we memorize the key components of the contents even though I do concur that both methods insist that we focus on the reasoning structure. Has anyone felt the same before? I'd like to know what y'all think about this. Thanks!
