I started the CC a month ago and have 3 more months left before I take the LSAT. Currently I'm more than half way through with the CC but that's without doing much of the CC problem sets. My strategy is to finish the CC very soon and have the rest of the 3 months to just drill problem sets and practice problems from all 3 sections including the CC problem sets I skipped. I'm currently putting in 4-6 hours of lsat studying in each day.

My diagnostic was a 131, goal is to reach around a 170. Any thoughts on this time frame I have and strategy I have chosen?

I'm in the beginning of my lsat studying process and as of now I have my test date set as January 2022, the problem is the 7sage study schedule I have made needs me to allocate 30 hours a week for lsat prep and I usually only get a couple hours in a day and get super behind by the end of the week. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of maybe working at my own pace and ignoring the schedule but if I do that I worry I will end up doing the test much later than I intended.

Hi everyone,

LSAC made several announcements today. The following are a few summary points of the announcements:

  • Scores for candidates who have an approved LSAT writing sample on file will be released at approximately 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 30, 2021.

  • The deadline to register for the August LSAT is 11:59 p.m. ET, Friday, July 2.

  • June test-takers who have not yet completed their LSAT Writing session are encouraged to review the LSAT Writing guidelines, including the PDF and Frequently Asked Questions section at the LSAT Writing page

    • I have also included the full text of LSAC's announcement below:

    “Now that the vast majority of testing for the June 2021 LSAT-Flex has been completed and the scoring process is moving smoothly, we are pleased to announce that scores for candidates who have an approved LSAT writing sample on file will be released one day earlier than originally announced.

    Scores will begin populating into candidate accounts at approximately 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 30, 2021. Please note that it could take up to 15 minutes for all scores to become available.

    As a reminder, the deadline to register for the August LSAT is 11:59 p.m. ET, Friday, July 2. We hope this earlier score release will give candidates more time if they are considering the August test, particularly given how close the registration deadline is to the July 4 holiday weekend in the U.S.

    For June test takers who have not yet completed their LSAT Writing session, we encourage them to do so as soon as possible. To ensure that their LSAT Writing is approved as quickly as possible, test takers should review the LSAT Writing guidelines, including the PDF and Frequently Asked Questions section at the LSAT Writing page.”

    I've been studying since end of March/Early April 2021 with plans to take the Aug 2021 test. Started at 153 and have been working on the CC everyday since. I'm still not finished CC (about 60% done), but I'm starting to feel like maybe I should give up on the whole thing. Highest score to date is a 159 but my most recent PTs have been 158 and 156. Pretty disappointing and feels like I'm getting worse as the test creeps closer.

    Any advise or motivation?

    I created a wrong answer journal and I don't think I'm getting as much out of it as I should be and could use some guidance. I put down what the question type is, why I got the question wrong, and what I'll do differently next time but my answers are pretty basic: "didn't read carefully", "second guessed myself", "made excuses for the answer choice I picked". If someone could explain on how to go more in depth that would be great, thank you!

    Hello, I was wondering what are some helpful & efficient strategies to review LR questions after completing a set of 5. I feel like I am spending a lot of time reviewing correct/wrong answers. Sometimes it takes me at least 30 minutes to review a problem set of 5. I either watch a video or read the explanations.Thank you.

    This doesn’t have to be exclusive to the occupations listed above but I’m active duty Army and really struggling to find a consistent rhythm to get into and need some help. Currently trying to get one hour in a day during the weekdays and 2-3 hours in on either Saturday or Sunday. I’ve tried studying before physical training in the morning but I have sleep apnea and I’ve never been able to maintain it. I’ve been part of 7Sage for almost a year and I’m not even 75% of the way through the core curriculum and I’m really disheartened at how inconsistent I’ve been. If there’s a group for people with full time jobs or even if it’s just help and advice I’d really appreciate it. I’ve considered dropping my packet to get out of the army so I can find a job that would allow me more time to study but that isn’t really feasible for my family situation at the moment and I know there are others in this community with far more taxing jobs in terms of hours and stress that have made it work and I want to be one of them that figures it out. Thank you for taking the time to read this and good hunting with all your goals.

    Very Respectfully,

    Pat

    Hello, Prior to to beginning my LSAT study journey on 7Sage, i completed 7 LSAT exams on the LSAC Test Prep Plus. Specifically they were exams 75-77, 79-80. I completed 3/4 parts using assimilated flex. I also completed 1 LR section of Preptest 74. I aim to take exams 37-89. What advise would you have on these exams. Do i re-do the exams or skip them and complete the exams i have not taken?

    When making the study schedule would it be unwise to put the end date August 14th (the week the August LSAT is taken)? In other words, should I stop drilling practice exams and reviewing materials a couple days before the August exam?

    Dear 7sagers,

    Hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone has had a great experience with a tutor that they can recommend. I am doing pretty well on LG so the 2 sections I really need help on are RC and LR. I average a -5 on LR and I am hoping to bring it down to a consistent -2. For RC my scores I fluctuate pretty dramatically from -8 to -4 so I am looking for a way that can help me get a -4 or less consistently. The RC sections that I do well on tend to be ones where I am very familiar with the content, so my goal is really to find a plan that's "content-proof" which would allow me to get the same score regardless of my familiarity with the content, which I have been told is the key to a -4/-3 on RC.

    Any advice or recommendations is truly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    ...here in the discussion forum as well as in the explanation video comments. That means the hard ones you don't wan't to answer. The ones from earlier PTs that don't have videos to check your understanding before posting. The ones about RC you don't want to do because you don't want to read the passage or maybe you're not even sure you understand it.

    This is one of the highest value things you can do for your prep. There is no better way to learn and test your understanding of a concept than to try to teach it to someone else. You all should be pouncing on these questions as soon as you see them come up... like they shouldn't last 5 minutes going unanswered. It is beneficial for you, the person asking, and the community as a whole.

    Be brave and push yourself. Seek to be proven wrong, don't avoid it. We improve the most at the threshold of failure.

    Hi Guys,

    I just signed up for 7sage and I think the course is fantastic. I'm preparing to sign up for the October lsat or even the November lsat. The course is telling me to do 55 hours a week to prepare and I simply cannot do that. The maximum number of hours I could reasonably study per week is about 30, since I'm taking summer school and I wouldn't want to risk burnout. I already do fairly well on the Reading Comprehension, I just need a lot of practice on Logic Games and Logical Reasoning. Given that I have about 3.5 months to study, is 25-30 hours a week enough? I'm aiming for a 165+ on the lsat. I got in the low 140s for the diagnostic, however, it was my very first test. Any thoughts would be very appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hello,

    How is everyone who is taking the october LSAT testing and determining your score?

    I understand that the october lsat consists of 3 graded portions and one experimental. However, how do you guys account this when you are PTing? I have been doing the 4 sections just to help me have more mental endurance, but the score for 4 sections wont be the same scale as one for 3 sections( if you all know what i mean).

    Please share your process, Thank you in advance!

    Hi 7Sage!

    My last PT was a 152 and my current and highest BR score stands at 171. Trying to get above a 162 on real test day. Is it that possible for someone who is more of a slower reader and does not have the best focus endurance?

    Obviously a big gap that can be found in timing issues.

    So my main question is: what are some good timing drills you do in RC, LR, and LG that helped you get better at speed and timing?

    Thanks!

    I had connection issues last weekend, and I need to decide whether or not I am going to opt into the retest that they offered me.

    Do we know how common connection issues actually are for the FLEX?

    (The issues I experienced were clearly related to ProctorU/LSAC servers, not my personal setup)

    Thanks!

    I was recently sent an email regarding an option to retest for the June LSAT due to technical problems. First I wanted to know if I took the retake would it count as a second attempt for the LSAT. And second, if I kept whatever the score would be (which was one of the options), would I get a voucher for a future exam date? Based on the wording of the email, it seems like if I just keep the score I would not get a voucher or something for a future test date, I would need to cancel for the voucher. Also would canceling and getting the voucher mean I have to test in August or can it be just a future date like October?

    The options seem to be:

    Retest on Thursday, June 24, 2021.

    Keep your June 2021 LSAT-Flex score.

    Cancel your June 2021 LSAT-Flex score and be registered for the next available LSAT administration. Please Note: If you have reached your test-taking limit, we will not be able to register you for an upcoming LSAT, per our Test Taking Limit (TTL) policy. More information can be found here: Limits on Repeating the Test.
