Hey everyone,

Since the LSAT adopted the modern 3-scored-section / 75-raw-question test, the raw score to percentiles conversion from the old 4-scored-section tests are no longer accurate. Can you help us figure out the new conversion tables?

If you took the August, October, or November LSAT, please send us (studentservice@7sage.com or my inbox) an anonymized screenshot of your official LSAT score.

Here's the table that we've built based on student score reports so far:

Thank you so much for your help!

I'm waiting on my second LOR, and I have a few questions.

  • Is it worth it to wait if I already have one LOR submitted?
  • Is it possible/advisable to add the second LOR after I've submitted my application if/when the recommender finally comes through (lets assume it happens within a week or two of applying)?

    Timed sections

    This is question is for anyone that know the 7sage website. I want to take timed sections without going into the full PTs or having a section done without having to submit the whole test. Is it possible to do that or do I just have to use the Problem sets creator? Also I noticed that the problem sets are also timed. Can I do them untimed the first time around or is the untimed option only for BR? I want to use the analytics for the specific questions without having to do a timed section. Its hard to do that when I run out of time but I still have questions left to answer.

    please share any information.

    Lsat Problem

    Hi I was writing my test this morning. This was my third time writing my test and the first time writing the test the proctor asked me where my phone was and I said outside and he said to go get it and put it in the room (so thats what I thought it had to be). Today, my alarm went off (I know I should've turned off my phone so this was my fault), I asked the proctor if I could go turn it off (by voice), she said yes but show me your room after (by text). I did. I told her where my phone was (Across the room), and performed a room scan twice (showed her my laptop through the mirror). 2 min later someone came in and said you weren't allowed to do that and terminated the test. I was confused because the first proctor said yes turn off your alarm, and so I did. I called LSAC and filed a complaint.

    What do you think will happen?

    I'm the sort of person who did pretty well in school. I usually only get a few questions wrong on most tests, and I'll review those and improve. However, the LSAT is different. I'm getting around 40 questions wrong. How do you guys not get overwhelmed/discouraged?

    I was wondering if anyone had ideas about things to do in your free time or like on the bus. Does sudoku really help? I play a lot of chess and thought that would maybe help. Aside from that probably getting exercise would help keep your mind sharp.

    January LSAT Question

    Hey you guys,

    My test is tomorrow (freaking out) and I've been on reddit... I've seen people talk about using ctrl/f or command f for the reading comprehension section... does anyone know if this is allowed? I want to make sure it's okay for me to do during the test because it'll def make things quicker!!

    Also, heads up for anyone who needs this: you can use ear plugs during your test! esp if you live in a noisy apartment :)

    Hola 7Sagers:

    While anxiously anticipating my August LSAT score, I checked my LSAC account and noticed that the percentile of my May score shifted downwards significantly. Initially, LSAC considered my 163 to be in the 86th percentile. As of now, it declined to the 83rd. Prior to the insanity of 2020, a 163 was considered to be in the 87.84th percentile, per the 7Sage percentile chart.

    TLDR: A 163 went from being in the ~87th percentile to being in the ~83rd. That isn't insignificant.

    I was hoping people could share their scores and percentiles on this thread, especially since law schools and LSAC are slow to update their new medians and score data, respectively. This would help us determine where we are in relation to our peers and inform our decisions regarding whether to retake the exam at a later date.

    Muchas gracias!

    Now that you have this information, what do you do with it? Not much. It's mostly to satisfy your curiosity. Some of you might be tempted to use this information to guess on future LSATs. Hopefully, you won't be in a situation where you have to blindly guess across all five answers. If you end up in that situation however, then sure, this is probably as good a guide as any to which answer to guess. As I've said numerous times before though, the LSAT writers are very crafty.

    Dear January 2022 lsatters,

    It's GAME TIME. We got approximately 50 ish days 'til Normandy and every single one of these days needs to be supercharged like a Kyle on that Bang Energy Drink. Many of us spent months and years leading up to this momentous event, and soon we'll see the fruits of our labor. Whatever our harvest, I hope that the amount of blood, sweat, tears, and random-ass, stress-induced white hair-strands that popped up on our semi-young heads would have been well worth it.

    Not that you asked, but I'm just so sick of this test.. I'm sick of tying myself down to the "potential" future this score will supposedly dictate and existing as a constant slave to the invisible master who haunts my self-worth in the back of my hyper-psychoanalyzed consciousness.

    I decided I'm just going to get on with life. I'm really just tryna find my honey at a law school that wants me and hit her with that SCOPE-rope-ELOPE. That check-in and stay-in strat; poppin-in and poppin-out some minions and settling into the nuclear tradition. This dumbass test is holding me back in my single-childish ways like a Simon and Pumba duo, but I'M still the mother fucking Simba in this story; pride rock is my inheritance and Nala is waiting the advent of her bestfriend. Fuck Scar and God bless Rafiki.

    So I'ma see y'alls on the other side. In the meantime, let's gobble up this turkey and go ham on Amazon for some prime deals. Remind your stomachs what it feels like to digest a real Thanksgiving Feast, prepared in the unique and beautiful method of your particular culture.

    "THUS," I wish the deepest of good luck to the rest of you 7Sagist sadists. Wherever you are in your heroine/hero's journey, I hope you find contentment within yourselves and continue to push the upper boundaries of the personal limitations you may have that only you may truly know and determine. Y'all got this. Do it for the 7Sage fam, fam!

    Sincerely,

    lsat_sus, aka "Cringe-King"

    I've taken the LSAT a couple of times. One thing I have not done before this upcoming test is spend some time on the LSAC Lawhub portal, even if you're just running through the June 07 exam. It's worth doing, as it is one less new experience to navigate. I really think it's worth something of value for the day you sit. Both times I've taken the LSAT without familiarizing myself with the LSAC test environment, I've felt slightly disoriented at the beginning of the test.

    Title says it all lol. I sit tomorrow and had a nightmare about logic games last night, and the night before dreamt I ran out of time.

    Ironically, logic games is my best section and I’m not nearly as nervous as I have been in past LSAT administrations, but could seriously do without these pesky nightmares on LSAT eve. 😇

    What did you think of PT 91?

    Just took PT 91, I scored around my average (164) but went -11 on RC, when I usually fall between -6 and -4.

    I personally thought RC was more difficult, but that seems like an unfair judgment since it's BECAUSE I didn't do well on it lol.

    Just thought I'd check with the community since there aren't a lot of stats about it! Trying not to let that RC score get me with my exam right around the corner.

    I was wondering if anyone had advice on how to overcome the low 160's plateau. I have been consistently scoring 160-163 on my past tests. I am on a schedule of taking 2 preptests a week and have not been seeing improvement. I began focusing on taking problem sets on the specific areas of LR that I was having issues with (Flaw, Weakening) and though I do see myself getting less of those questions wrong, now I am getting an entirely new set of questions wrong (MCC, Strengthening)

    Usually my LR and RC will average 4-6 wrong on each test and my LG is around 3-5. I purchased loophole and am in the process of going through it but I am feeling a bit hopeless as I am aiming to take the April test with a goal score of 167-169. I am thinking of completely stopping preptesting and focusing on my foundational skills, but I just don't know the best way to go about this.

    Only takes one

    With the January test coming up this weekend I just wanted to throw something out there to give us hope. I was giving up hope but my brother and partner told me something that I'd like to share with you guys. "as long as you keep your mind in the right place you can do this, you have come too far to give up now, manifest that shit and it will happen!" Lets manifest this shit, the LSAT is hard as hell but we got this! Never give up, don't lose hope. I saw this on quote on Instagram a few days ago, "you don't need to get into EVERY law school to become a lawyer. All it takes is ONE."

    We got this guys!!

    Losing my damn mind

    Alright, 7Sage Fam.

    A little backstory: I cannot wrap my head around the logic of reasoning or grouping games. I've been at it for two years now, and I've tried anything and everything to improve my score WHICH JUST WONT BUDGE. And its okay. I've told myself, its not about giving up because this test is going to dictate the future but about accepting who it is I am, where it is I am at in life, and where it is I will go. CUE ANXIETY

    YES. I AM LOSING MY MIND. But i've always been losing it, and I think its fine to be a little crazy. That's what makes you unique. Remember that you are more than a three digit number that sits between 120 and 180. To those that are in the 140s and 150s, keep at it. Not to say your score will go up or down, but this is to say you should keep in mind the several components that are on the law school application. Make yourself stand out. As a student with a bachelors and two masters degrees, applying to law school with working experience makes me feel I am more than a number. Remind yourself of this every morning that you are just the same. A number does not define you but your experience, your background , your will to succeed in being a lawyer for the community around you does.

    This is for those that feel they are losing hope. My message to you is simple: DONT LOSE HOPE. As a die hard Lakers fan, I always ask myself, what would Kobe do? If I can keep at this stupid ass test, and still fight for my right to be admitted during my first law school admissions cycle this year, then so can you. Keep pushing. Life is beautiful and it has more in store for you than you (and I) could ever imagine.

    For those of you scoring your desired goals, congratulations! Y'all make me proud. I am happy for you. Hopefully one day, when all of us former 7Sagers are meeting in a courtroom, we can talk about the discussion threads we met and rallied each other on. You are all a part of my inspiration to keep pushing and striving, but staying unique to me. I respect your ability to nail this test, its hard as fuck.

    Good luck to the rest of you that are taking the test this coming weekend. Grind it out through Thursday, go get some ice cream Friday, and on Saturday, bring your A Game. As King Leonidus (played by Gerard Butler) says in '300', "Remember this day forever, for it will belong to YOU for all time." And it will. You will make it to break the game. Lets fucking do this shit.

    Hey Everyone,

    I've been stuck between deciding the best approach for the CC. I am spending several hours a day on it and feel like I am not progressing. Initially, I was doing everything in order -- including all the problem sets. It's starting to feel counter productive: Each problem set takes me about 30min to an hour (this includes taking it timed, BR, and watching explanation on the questions I am not 100% confident with).Considering some question types have 10+ problem sets, after 2 or 3 days of working on the same question type I just get demotivated because I don't feel like I am really progressing in the material. Am I doing this all wrong?? Should I only solve a few and come back to them as I start focusing on the PTs or taking timed sections? Or should I be patient and get through everything in the CC?

    How are you doing the CC...

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I have started the 7Sage Core Curriculum back in June and completed it at the end of December. It took me a while to finish the CC because I created a wrong answer journal for all LR and RC questions. Also, as JY has instructed, I practiced all LG questions in the CC until I can get every question correct with the given amount of time. I took the practice test #1 a week ago. My timed score came out as 148 and blind review score came out as 162. Here is the breakdown:

    RC -6

    LG -19

    LR -9

    LR -15

    I definitely know that I can improve, but I am just wondering how everyone scored on their first timed test. Considering that I have scored 162 on the blind review, I strongly believe I can get the blind review score up until 175+.

    Please share how your first practice test experience was.

    Hey everyone, I am new to 7sage and I am just wondering if the problem sets in the core curriculum should be done all at once. I have been trying to find out if I should save them or knock them all off at once. I am only two weeks into my study but I am getting a little bored with the problem sets. I think it is because I did study for a few months a few years ago so I think maybe I know the fundamentals and should keep the problem sets for when I am confused. Or if I find out I have a problem with a question type later on. I was hoping someone could tell me what they do.
