Hi all :)

I’ve been doing 2-3 PTs a week after finishing all CC, and have somewhat reached a stable mid160s (BR: 168-172ish). My main sources were PT45-70, always took it under exact test conditions (4 sections timed).

I’ll be taking April 2022 lsat (goal score: 174) so I’ll eventually have to slowly transfer to the newer PTs, but was hoping if I could get some advice on this transition.

Current situation:

  • RC: My weakest is RC and I’m slowly seeing improvement. I’d be happy to see around -4, which happens occasionally. Shivering at all the horror stories of recent LSAT RC being much harder.
  • LR: -2~3 on good day around -5~6 on not so good ones. Currently really digging into the subtle weaknesses/errors.
  • LG: -1~-2. Foolproofing everyday.
  • Advice I’m hoping for, if any, are:

  • what to expect for each sections (gets harder in what way/easier in what way/time-consuming, etc)
  • if I were to work on improving weaknesses to be prepared for recent PTs, any helpful areas/topics/skills to focus on for each section? Things you guys wished you would’ve done or known before facing them?
  • Thank you, and I just rly hope it’s not as bad as I fear (tears)

    June LSAT Study Schedule

    Hey! I just finished with core curriculum and was wondering what prep tests I should be focusing on? It's about 16 weeks left of studying. I'm a full-time student so probably could take 1-2 prep tests a week.

    Raw Score to get 174?

    Hi All!

    I am having some trouble finding this information. I am aiming for a 174, but I can't find much information on how many total questions wrong I can hit to achieve that score in the current format of 1LR 1RC and 1LG. Does anyone know? The 7sage calculator seems a bit wonky.

    Question recycled

    If I put my cursor on the recycle image, I used to be able to check when I took that certain problem before (date, number of times taken etc.). I can't do that anymore somehow, and I'm wondering if that is an issue on my end or 7sage in general. Thank you in advance!

    Just wondering if there is anyone in the same boat. I have a super demanding job that can easily take up 60 hours in a week (and frequently does). I'm trying to study at least 20 hrs a week, mostly doing nights and weekends. Is that a recipe for burnout or does it sound sustainable? Planning to study for 4 months!

    Thank You 7 Sage Community and to my wonderful 7 Sage study buddies !! I am so blessed to be admitted to UC Hastings Law!! It has been a journey as I was a reapplicant. Never give up and keep on going!

    I plan to visit UC Hastings Law as I am a newbie to the Bay.

    At this stage, should I consider submitting applications to other UC schools? Amongst UC law schools, I only applied to UC Hastings. My goal is to attend an institution in CA, and in-state tuition would be affordable/plus.

    Many thanks and good luck everyone! :)

    Hi all!

    I applied today for 50% additional time. But, there are a lot of things I feel weaken my request.

    First, I was diagnosed really recently. My parents didn't really believe in learning disabilities, so I struggled a lot in school. It was after taking the LSAT in January I realized WOW, I am holding myself back here. So, I went to a psychiatrist. I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety disorder by two different psychiatrists. And let me tell you, this was a tough thing to do. The assessments were incredibly expensive and I'm not flush with cash. I say this to communicate I genuinely believe I need this accommodation to have an equal chance to do well on the test.

    Additionally, I have taken the test twice. The first was in 2018. I canceled that test because I did so, so poorly given what I recognize now were symptoms. I kept studying. I took the test in January 2021 and got a 165, which was really, really low below my own abilities because I spent so much time trying to concentrate and dealing with my anxiety.

    I highlighted in my statement of need how taking the LSAT led me to realize I had these problems and that's why I don't have a lot of history with my diagnosis.

    This is a new kind of chance me, I suppose. Will i get approved despite a "good enough" score and a recent diagnosis?

    I noticed the highlighting functionalities on the prep tests offered on this site... i'm wondering if the format for taking the actual exam virtually is the same presented on this site or if I should stay away from utilizing the tools so as to not expect them on test date.

    Let me know and I wish you all luck on your endeavors!!! :)

    Hello all, I know there are a few posts on this topic but none of them quenched my confusion hence this post.

    I have a few questions regarding the calculation of my test score (PT, real test, etc.).

    Why is the raw score out of 101 when only 3 sections are graded?

    Is the experimental section always the repeated section? (e.g. 1RC, 1LR, 2LG = 1LG will be ungraded)

    Does the scoring mechanism enabled in the 7sage "Flex Score Converter" (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter) apply to current LSAT tests (2022)? Curious as LSAC does not display current tests as "LSAT Flex", just "LSAT".

    I'm really confused about the concept of "Flex" so I want to present a possible scenario:

    Let's say I scored -5 RC, -0 LG, -8 LR in a 4 section PT. However there were 2 LRs (both -4) so I excluded one section by myself to arrive at a total of -5 RC, -0 LG and -4 LR. Plugged numbers into the "Flex Converter", did not tick the "2 LR sections" button, selected the correct PT number and received a 172. Disregarding the different curves for each test, would an LSAT test sometime in 2022 be scored the same way?

    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,

    I have been taking PTs and not simulating Flex because I want to practice getting through 4 sections. How predictive of my actual test day scores are these scores given that they are taking the 2 LR sections into account? Is there a score conversion chart anywhere?

    Hello 7Sage community, I was hoping to get advice from anybody who has been through the struggle of studying for the lsat while working a full time job. I lately have been feeling overwhelmed with how I should be structuring my study schedule. How many Times should I be taking practice tests vs going over the 7 sage lessons. I am just feeling so lost and would love any guidance or insight someone could share.

    🙃😭

    I feel like I'm improving overall, but I get defeated after only getting 2 out of 5 on a problem set after get 5 of 6. Then I'll get 8 out of 8, and I'm not sure how to feel. For context, I've been studying since December.

    Wondering if this is normal as I continue learning or if my progress should be more linear.

    Thanks in advance!

    Which PT's should I take?

    Hi all!

    Some folks told me to stick to taking practice tests using only the 60s and onwards, and to use the tests prior to the 60s just for casual drilling. I wanted to know what ya'll thought and if it is good to throw in an older PT in the 50s or earlier every now and then.

    Thanks!

    From what I'm reading, it appears that there's not really a mechanism for analytics within problem sets. I would find this very helpful, and would particularly love to be able to see the "Question Type Analysis" section of the Analytics page within my problem sets, since that's where the bulk of my practice has been so far. Is there a way to do this that I'm missing??

    I was just wondering how I can automatically pick up on when a flaw question is really a necessary assumption question in disguise. Do arguments with the question stem "this argument is flawed because it takes for granted that" often contain a NA element? Help!
