Has anyone else had an issue with their LG sorting function? I have been 'pinning' the substitution equivalent questions and also making notes on them as I've been going through and now I want to drill them - but when I go to the LG problem set page, hit "all PT's" and sort by 'pinned' - nothing comes up. Same for the "has note" button. I have refreshed, restarted, new window, logged in and out. Same result. #help.

I applied to HYSCCN and was rejected 2 times a few years ago. Lsat 171.
My lsat is 5 years old and I find computer-based test much harder, so unsure I can beat it.
I wanted to change career to law from SW engineering, but the rejections were hard.
The opportunity cost of leaving SWE job was worth only for T6.
I'm wondering what other possible degree can provide similar level of intellectual energy as a JD.
Anyone in similar boat?
What did you do?
I am trying to put all my effort into scoring a 170+. RC is the most variable section, I usually go from -3 to -7. I scored a 167 on Nov LSAT, but am trying to make that next jump. LG is usually -0 but can vary with substitution questions an LR is usually -2 to -3.
I just started using 7sage. I have 5 weeks until the test. I scored a 150 on my diagnostic. I only need a 156 to get into the school I want. That's the median score, but my GPA is high, a 3.9.
My question is, what is the most efficient way to get to the 156? Do I drill the practice tests and then blind review? Or do I pick a section to work the most on to try to gain the points in that particular section to raise the total score? My diagnostics were:
LG -10 13 out of 23
LR -8 17 out of 25
LR -11 14 out of 25
RC -11 16 out of 27
What would you do?
For those who had their November score on hold, have you gotten it? Any updates?
I'm almost at the month mark and feeling solid on fundamentals. hoping a month is good enough to put me in the 160s. Obviously don't have time to do all, so which PTs should I go through? 70s-90s? Any recommended PT strategies are appreciated.
I felt like the most terrible order for me would be RC, RC, LG, LR
It would be extremely awful to have two RCs in a row and they are the first 2 sections.... I am so nervous.
I would be mentally exhausted to do the rest two sections.
Worst among the worst: the 2nd RC is the real RC section that accounts.

Been studying since January, so excited I can believe it! :D I work full time so I get up to study at 5am to study for five hours before work and finally it's paying off!
Hello Everyone I am John G. I just took the Diagnostic exam & and honestly I got a 120 on it and I feel pretty messed up about it. But Starting this LSAT Journey is something different from what I am usually going through. But Starting this what is the best way to start studying for it ? My goal is a 170 before the end of 2022. But some words of encouragement going forward.

I canceled my first, I retook one and got a 146:( . After I registered with 7 sage for a month, my PT’s are around 158-164., but my most recent LSAT was 146:( (I was so disappointed with myself). Should I apply and then transfer or should I do 3 more months and take my 4th time? ( I know it is many times, I was not intended to do so)
Should I take the LSAT before logic games are removed? And any idea when exactly they'll be removed?
I am a senior in undergrad and plan to work for 2 years before attending law school. My current plan is to take the LSAT in the spring/summer of 2023 and apply to law schools in the fall of 2023. I just heard about LSAC's past announcement that they'd be removing logic games from the LSAT in 2023, however, and it's making me question if I should change my plans some.
I am yet to start studying for the LSAT, but I'm concerned for a couple of reasons. First, from what I've heard, it seems the logic games are the easiest section of the test to "master." Therefore, I'm concerned the test will be harder without them. Second, and perhaps more importantly, if LSAC creates a totally new section for the LSAT to replace logic games (meaning they don't just add an extra LR or RC section to replace logic games), there will be no official practice tests to practice for the new section. Seeing as past tests seem to be an integral resource when prepping for the LSAT, this seems like a bit of a nightmare.
All of this brings me to ask a couple of question:
2.To me, it seems that it would be wise to take the LSAT before the logic games are removed (because of LG being the easiest section to master and there being ample practice tests to study for them). As aforementioned, my plan has always been to take the LSAT in the spring/summer of 2023. Therefore, I've always planned to start studying for the LSAT after I graduate in May of 2022 (because I'd like to have at least a year to prep). If logic games may be removed by January of 2023, however, it seems it may be wise to take the LSAT before then. So if I started studying in May, that would only leave me 7 or 8 months to study. So would it be wise for me to instead start studying for the LSAT after my final exams end in December and take it before January of 2023? I have a pretty high GPA and I'm only taking a couple of classes before graduating next semester, so I have no concerns that studying while in school would hurt my GPA.
Apologies for the long question! I just don't want to mess up studying for the LSAT. I'm super appreciative of any responses or input!
Hello! I was wondering where I can view my starred questions? I usually star questions when I'm watching the video explanation for them.
I am writing from the perspective of a person who desired to score a 175+, spent 8 months studying, and in the end scored a 159 come test day. I am here to tell you that, no matter what score you achieve on the LSAT, you are worthy of the dreams your have outlined for yourself and are capable of achieving them. Keep working hard and one day I will see you at the top!
P.S. I am almost finished with applications! My essays are going great and I can't wait to refine them some more tomorrow. Best of luck to you, friend!

Hello everyone,
I've noticed that one of my main problems (other than timing, which I hope will come with time - pun intended) is not understanding the stimulus correctly.
I say this while referring to questions with 4/5 or 5/5 difficulty. Sometimes, however much I read the stimulus it does not make any sense. I've also noticed that the more I spend time trying to formulate what is happening and removing banter from these overly complex sentences, the more I tend to get lost. It's like my brain gives up.
I have started trying to rephrase every sentence in the stimulus on paper to try to get myself used to doing it mentally, though I am not sure how effective that will be (i'll happily report after a week or two of trying this)
But, does anyone have any tips? Should I spend sometime reading dense literature to get used to it? Is my lack of strong vocabulary the problem??
Any tips and tricks are welcome.
Thanks in advance
What is the difference between Question Difficulty and Psg/Game/S Difficulty in the PT score breakdown?
I just saw some people post about how law schools are now accepting GRE scores as well as LSAT at every ABA accredited school. I also saw some articles online about it. Just wanted to reach out and ask if this is true, and if anyone else has any information on it, and what are the implications other than having more options.
if I register for January, but do not take it/withdraw, will it show up as an attempt on my account?
if I register for January, but do not take it/withdraw before the test day, will it show up as an attempt on my account?
I took the GRE twice back in 2017 and my highest GRE score is converted to a 154 LSAT. Should I submit my GRE score as well? My highest LSAT score is 151. I'm looking to apply to a law school with a range 157-163.
Thank you!
Hi everyone, I love when people share their final thoughts and advice as they close out of their law school journey so I thought hey maybe someone would find this post useful.
Background: I started at a 142, was PTing in the 156 range, took August 2021 got a 151 and felt pretty rough. I then started taking studying more seriously, got a tutor, and hit a 160 for November 2021. My goal was originally a 165 to hit just one schools median but I'm feeling burnt out and the majority of my schools are within the 160 range or lower, so I'm taking this win and applying now.
Disclaimer: This is what worked for me
Tips/Advice:
1. Focusing on Logic Games was the biggest help, I kept drilling and practicing new games which really helped me start moving faster. Do the foolproofing method, it really works.
2. I got the Loophole by Ellen Cassidy and her Basic Translation Drill saved me so much. DO THE DRILL. It'll help you move faster through LR. Also her Powerful vs. Provable chapter is a game-changer. I wish I would've gotten this book sooner.
3. Do full LR timed sections. Look at the questions you miss the most often and start drilling. First do 2-3 difficulty questions than 3-4, depending on the level you are getting wrong. Sometimes it helps to go back to the basics.
4. Another tip for LR: I focused on hitting the first 15 with accuracy and then the last 10 picking and choosing which question to spend time on, this really helped me set a pattern.
5. Manhattan Prep's "reading for scale" for RC was very helpful, in that it helped me read for purpose. I didn't do much of 7sage RC, so can't compare.
6. Lastly, I tutored with ellesat, more specifically Van, and if you have the money I highly recommend her. She offers tutoring packages and even with the first 2 sessions with her, I learned a lot about how to study for this test. Although, this test is doable on your own, I just needed more guidance.
7. Use a wrong answer journal, spreadsheets are super easy to see everything and really organized.

Hi all,
I just received my November score and am happy with it. If anyone wants my LSAT Trainer textbook for free, I'd just ask that you pay shipping (I use Venmo). I used the textbook to supplement 7sage lessons, mostly on reading comp and the other sections are pretty much untouched. I am based in Nebraska if that helps!
Let me know!
After receiving my November score I’m feeling extremely discouraged. I know I can score between a 166-171 when I don’t feel the pressure of the time. I preform well on individual sections but the I haven’t been able to replicate the same results on the exam. I currently have accommodations with extra time and stop/start breaks, but it’s not enough to stop me from having an anxiety attack in front of my proctor. I have taken this exam many times and I want january to be my last exam. Please if anyone has any advice I’d greatly appreciate it because I’ve tried everything for my anxiety (exercise, meditation, acupuncture, taking breaks etc) Thank you in advance.
Thank you 7sage I'm so happy!! Have to finish application materials and then we're on our way, so scary, but glad to be done with the LSAT. Any suggestions of where to apply with a 168 and 3.9? Could I get into a T14 with those stats? -- Also debating if I should take January, but super late in the cycle, but I really wanted the 170. Can't complain about the 168 though!
